Wen Lanfeng vs. Bi Changchun (2)

The Ancestor Nanming Dynasty arrived leisurely. He glanced at the two people standing opposite him and shook his head slightly. Given his relationship with them, he didn't have the right to stop them.

Glancing at the Ziyi -clad Ziyi staring wide-eyed and looking up, the Ancestor Nanming flashed over and gave her a resounding thud on the forehead, scolding, "Are you tired of living? What are you doing, girl, getting involved in adults' affairs?"

Although Nong Zhu and he had a complicated relationship, they were still friends in the end. They couldn't control Bi Changchun and Wen Lanfeng, but Ziyi still had to.

Ziyi rubbed her forehead, crying out in pain, but was pulled down by the Ancestor Nanming and thrown back to Shuntian Island. Below, a Second Brother and two women watched the spectacle with wide eyes.

"You need something from me?" Bi Changchun asked the same question again. His tone was calm, without worry, fear, haste, or impatience, devoid of any emotion. His voice was ordinary and unassuming, like that of an ordinary old man asking a question, unlike Wen Lanfeng's casual remarks that could evoke a profound echo.

A bitter smile crept onto Wen Lanfeng's face. From Bi Changchun's words and eyes, he could see that Bi Changchun was arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all. This kind of arrogance alone was not something ordinary people could possess; he truly deserved to be called the Number One Expert Under Heaven. In terms of aura, Wen Lanfeng was already slightly inferior.

"Bi Changchun, that battle back then... it made me reflect deeply, and I secluded myself for a hundred years to cultivate diligently. Today I have arrived..." Before Wen Lanfeng could finish speaking, someone shouted from afar, "Old Bi, Wen Lanfeng, let's talk this out, let's talk this out..."

From afar Nong Zhu spotted the two people facing off in mid-air. Seeing that they hadn't started fighting yet, he was relieved and immediately shouted loudly.

"Oh my god! This trip almost killed me, but I finally made it." Nong Zhu said, somewhat exhausted, as she stepped between the two. It seemed she had indeed flown here at full speed, and her internal True Essence was severely depleted.

Inside the sphere of light he held, Furong looked pitifully at Bi Changchun and Wen Lanfeng, like a caged kitten.

Bi Changchun and Wen Lanfeng, both calm and collected, glanced at the person he was with with some surprise. They both wondered, what was this guy doing bringing a woman here?

When the Ancestor Nanming saw Nong Zhu arrive, he also flashed into the air, glanced at Furong, and asked Nong Zhu, "Nong Zhu, have you fallen into another lewd trap?"

"Shut your stinking mouth." Nong Zhu then added, "Would you die if you didn't watch the show? Can't you try to stop it?" She seemed to be blaming the Ancestor Nanming for not intervening. The Ancestor Nanming opened his mouth, but couldn't bring himself to retort.

With Nong Zhu Xuanbo's light sphere vanished, Furong floated towards Shuntian Island. The old men were just about to discuss important matters when they heard Ziyi exclaim, "Hey! Furong, what are you doing here?"

"Ziyi? It's you! What are you doing here?" Furong exclaimed in surprise. Back on Fu Xian Island, Yue Qianchou Yue Qianchou brought Ziyi here once before. The two knew each other and were aware of their good relationship, so they immediately found common ground.

The two women immediately forgot everything else and started chattering away. The tense atmosphere, where two of the world's greatest masters were about to clash, was instantly ruined by these two girls.

The Ancestor Nanming nudged Nong Zhu with his elbow and asked, "Hey! Who is this Furong?"

Bi Changchun and Wen Lanfeng couldn't recall whose daughter Furong was either. It was unlikely that Nong Zhu would bring just anyone to Shuntian Island. Little did they know, Furong was merely a junior disciple of Fu Xian Island. Given their status, who would normally care about a mere Fu Xian Island, let alone a junior disciple? Naturally, they wouldn't remember who Furong was.

"Damn it! Don't touch me! You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Nong Zhu elbowed back, his eyes fixed on the two girls below... He had raised Ziyi from a young age, acting as both father and mother, and even her teacher. In short, Ziyi grew up in the Purple Bamboo Forest and never had a single friend, let alone a close female friend. Suddenly seeing Ziyi and Furong chattering happily, he realized he was wrong. And terribly wrong.

"Nonsense!" The Ancestor Nanming pointed below and questioned, "You don't know who she is, yet you brought her here? You don't know who she is, yet she knows Ziyi? You're kidding me!"

"How would I know? Yue Qianchou didn't tell me." Nong Zhu was also a little annoyed.

Upon hearing that it concerned his apprentice, Bi Changchun glanced at him and asked, "Nong Zhu, what exactly is going on?"

Nong Zhu was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Yue Qianchou said this girl is his woman, and that it's dangerous for her to follow him, so he asked me to bring her here to avoid the risks."

Bi Changchun and the Ancestor Nanming were both startled, their eyes snapping to Furong for scrutiny. Wen Lanfeng was utterly bewildered, but quite astonished, wondering to himself, "Who is Yue Qianchou? I've never heard of him before. To be able to get Nong Zhu to run errands and to make Bi Changchun and the Ancestor Nanming lose their composure, he must be an extraordinary person."

He'd been in seclusion for a century; Yue Qianchou's previous life hadn't even been born yet. How could he possibly know who Yue Qianchou was? That'll give him plenty of time to think about it.

Of the four people in the air, three were among the Four Great Oddities in the Cultivation World. The only missing one Lu Yanqing from Lingfang Valley, and then Four Great Oddities would be present.

Ever since Ziyi and Yue Qianchou's trip to the bustling world, Ziyi's heart had become somewhat wild. Stuck on Shuntian Island, she was incredibly bored and spent her days practicing those awkward "animalistic" exercises to pass the time. The arrival of Furong made her a little too excited; finally, she had company.

"Yue Qianchou is too much. He took you out to play, but he didn't take me with him."

"It's dangerous outside."

"What's there to be afraid of in danger? Danger is what makes it fun! Who would go out with that guy if there wasn't danger?" As soon as Ziyi said this, Nong Zhu's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot. The Ancestor Nanming, who was standing to the side, chuckled and thought to himself that this girl was really a character, just like her master.

"It's really dangerous, not fun at all. Last time Yue Qianchou was beaten so badly that he vomited blood. I was terrified."

"Uh... Yue Qianchou was beaten and vomited blood? No way! That guy is really bad, who could hurt him! He's... alright?"

As soon as these two sentences were uttered, a sense of oppression and unease filled the air, and the gentle breeze around them instantly froze.

As the two women talked, they realized something was amiss. Turning around abruptly, they discovered that four experts in the air were staring at them. The Ziyi stuck out her tongue, and the two women shrank back sheepishly, no longer daring to utter a sound.

What a powerful aura! Wen Lanfeng's pupils contracted, and he slowly turned to look at Bi Changchun, thinking he was about to make a move, but instead found him staring at Nong Zhu.

Nong Zhu and the Ancestor Nanming exchanged a glance, then discreetly looked back. Nong Zhu noticed Bi Changchun staring at her and gave an awkward smile. Bi Changchun asked indifferently, word by word, "Nong Zhu, who injured Yue Qianchou?"

"Old Bi, don't get the wrong idea. He's tough and thick-skinned; he's already recovered from any minor injuries." Nong Zhu shook his head and smiled wryly, saying, "Actually, it was his own fault. He claimed to be the Number One Expert Under Heaven below the Spirit Transformation stage. It's no wonder people are causing him trouble. I'll tell you more about this later."

The palpitation vanished instantly. Bi Changchun was stunned. He claimed to be the Number One Expert Under Heaven, and his disciple went out and claimed to be the Number One Expert Under Heaven below the Spirit Transformation stage. If people knew that he was his disciple... he really made him look good!

Wen Lanfeng couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Nong Zhu, who exactly is this Yue Qianchou? I seem to have never heard of him before?"

Nong Zhu chuckled and gestured with his chin toward Bi Changchun, saying, "His last disciple."

Wen Lanfeng exclaimed "Ah!" and then stammered, "A great teacher produces a great student. No wonder he dares to call himself the Number One Expert Under Heaven Spirit Transformation stage. He certainly deserves the title."

Although it was a perfunctory compliment, it sounded rather grating. Bi Changchun's usually calm face darkened slightly; it seemed that this was the first time in all his years that he had felt so ashamed.

Nong Zhu thought to herself that something was wrong. "Wen Lanfeng, you're really asking for it. Isn't that an insult?"

As expected, after regaining his composure, Bi Changchun stared indifferently at Wen Lanfeng and said, "Judging from what you said earlier, could it be that you've greatly increased your cultivation after a hundred years of seclusion, and you've come here to avenge your previous humiliation?"

Who is Wen Lanfeng? How could he be a coward who flinched from battle! He was instantly spurred on by Bi Changchun's words, his previous worries vanishing completely. This is the true mark of a top-tier master, aloof and proud, who would never back down in the face of battle, focusing all his energy on one thing... defeating his opponent! Life or death, victory or defeat, are matters to be considered after the fight is over.

Wen Lanfeng laughed heartily and replied in a strong and resounding voice, "The battle a hundred years ago is etched in my memory. I have been in seclusion for a hundred years so that I may be qualified to meet the Punishment Envoy of the Demon Ghost Domain Wen Lanfeng. Today, I am willing to once again experience the demeanor of the Number One Expert Under Heaven!" He spoke the last sentence with particular passion.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited." Nong Zhu waved her hands repeatedly between the two, extremely anxious.

However, both of them were already in a state of high spirits, completely ignoring Nong Zhu. Wen Lanfeng burst forth with intense fighting spirit, and his gray-white robe suddenly fluttered in the wind, stirring up the surrounding air currents, which gradually solidified and took shape, like blades swirling.

Ancestor Nanming quickly released a transparent protective Gang Qi, but he still felt somewhat overwhelmed. The wind blades kept making a piercing sound as they cut through the Gang Qi, and the entire protective Gang Qi was in danger of being destroyed by the wind blades at any moment.

This was before he even made a move, just the turbulence caused by his mere aura. If he were to actually fight, what would become of him? The Ancestor Nanming was filled with shock. The second-best expert in the world was indeed worthy of his reputation. He never expected him to be this powerful, far exceeding his understanding of a late-stage Transformation Realm expert.

Without a word, the Ancestor Nanming retreated. This was not a place where his cultivation level allowed him to remain, and he quickly flashed back to the island. Nong Zhu was also protected by his protective Gang Qi, but he was clearly more powerful than the Ancestor Nanming. He yelled, "You two lunatics! We don't have any deep-seated hatred, why do you have to fight to the death?"

"Get out of the way!" Wen Lanfeng shouted, locking his aura onto Nong Zhu. The chaotic wind blades immediately swept over, slashing at Nong Zhu's protective Gang Qi to the point of collapse.

Nong Zhu immediately felt overwhelmed and roared, "You two are crazy, you might as well just die, it would save us a lot of trouble." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly ran away, forced to leave.

Bi Changchun opposite Wen Lanfeng, was unusually quiet, his expression serene. Unlike Wen Lanfeng, he didn't make a fuss; his clothes and hair remained completely still in the swirling wind.

Wen Lanfeng stared intently at him, and the wind blades frantically tore towards Bi Changchun. However, as soon as they reached a distance of two meters from Bi Changchun's body, the wind blades silently and inexplicably dissipated and disappeared, having no effect on Bi Changchun whatsoever.

The people on the island watched intently, with Wood Lady Mu biting her lip tightly. She already understood what was about to happen; she never imagined she would have the chance to witness the Punishment Envoy of the Demon Ghost Domain take action. As for the other person, no one knew who he was, daring to challenge the Punishment Envoy.

"It seems you have indeed made great progress in your hundred years of arduous cultivation, far surpassing what you were back then. No wonder you were confident enough to come to me," Bi Changchun said calmly.

"I also feel I've improved a lot," Wen Lanfeng nodded, then asked, "How does it compare to yours?"

"I myself am not clear about my own cultivation level, and I have always hoped that someone could help me understand myself. After seeing you..." Bi Changchun shook his head slightly and said, "Unfortunately! The person who can help me understand is not you."

"You don't even understand the extent of your own cultivation?" Wen Lanfeng laughed. "I understand. You mean I'm not your match yet."

Bi Changchun said, "Whether he is my opponent or not is not important. The most important thing is that you must remember one thing."

"Which point?" Wen Lanfeng asked.

"Any cultivator with a cultivation level of Nascent Spirit Transformation stage or above who trespasses into the Demon Ghost Domain shall die!" Bi Changchun said calmly.

"Haha!" Wen Lanfeng laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, a cold light flashed from his Storage Bag, and a large longsword was placed in front of him. The blade was about the width of a palm, and its surface had a flowing luster like mercury. Wen Lanfeng gently grasped the hilt and said, "Back then, my 'Giant Silver' sword failed to force out your sword, and it has been sealed away ever since."

"If you can force me to draw my sword, I will spare your life," Bi Changchun said quietly.

"Haha!" Wen Lanfeng, "Bi Changchun, you are too arrogant. Today, unless you are an immortal from the upper realm lingering in the mortal world, I will make you understand the bottom line of your cultivation."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished. When he reappeared, hundreds of Wen Lanfeng and hundreds of giant silver swords stood above Bi Changchun's head, indistinguishable from the real ones, and the surrounding air was deathly still...

On Shuntian Island, Nong Zhu and the Ancestor Nanming looked at each other in disbelief. The two women were dumbfounded. They had seen people conjure up many phantoms, but at this moment, hundreds of Wen Lanfeng in the air were completely still, as if they were the real, physical figures.

It moved! One of the hundreds moved, tracing a dazzling silver light and drawing a magnificent, mesmerizing arc. From top to bottom, a sword came from the west, swift as lightning, slashing towards Bi Changchun's head.

Just as the sword was about to touch Bi Changchun, it seemed as if a third hand had grown from Bi Changchun's body, his fingers moving with the grace of plucking a flower, flicking his wrist...
