Chapter Twenty-Six: Encountering a Demon Cultivator
Upon hearing that Bi Fan was going down the mountain for training, Yu Xiao Feng readily agreed.
The next morning, Bi Fan set off with the Dragon Sable.
Yu Xiao Feng personally saw Bi Fan off, saying, "Bi Fan, be careful with everything."
Bi Fan rode on the Immortal Crane, waved his hand, his eyes slightly moist.
The Immortal Crane took flight, soaring into the sky, and soon descended Qingyang Mountain.
The news of Bi Fan leaving the mountain quickly reached Zhu San and Luo Sheng. These two immediately made arrangements, both wanting to put Bi Fan to death.
Last time, Bi Fan went down the mountain and had good luck, gaining some benefits.
Bi Fan did not come down the mountain this time with the idea of picking up benefits, but for cultivation.
He had quite a few Viscera Solidifying Pills, enough to take pills and quickly raise his strength to the Viscera Realm.
But Bi Fan did not do so. His early stage strength had already increased fast enough; increasing too quickly would instead make his foundation unstable, so he decided to cultivate and temper himself slowly, breaking through when the time was ripe.
He arrived at Qingyang Town without incident and began to make extensive purchases, preparing for his training.
Bi Fan possessed the Heavenly Origin Ring, and with two Cosmic Bags, he wasn't afraid of not being able to carry back any amount of necessary supplies.
Afterward, Bi Fan set off for Tingfeng Valley, as he still needed to prepare some things for his training in the Demon Realm.
This time, Bi Fan planned to break through his strength and then directly venture into the Demon Realm. Outside the Demon Realm, there were officials specifically in charge of registration and timing; staying in the Demon Realm for a sufficient amount of time would naturally earn him proof, which Bi Fan did not need to worry about.
On this trip to Tingfeng Valley, Bi Fan did not intend to use the Divine Speed Talisman.
He left home for the purpose of training, so naturally, he wanted to see the sights along the way.
Bi Fan bought a map of Jiu You City, so he wasn't afraid of not finding his way.
He rested briefly in Qingyang Town before setting off.
The stone path was rugged, the peaks steep, the streams gurgled, and the plants were fresh.
"It's truly beautiful!" Bi Fan relaxed his mind, appreciating the charm of nature.
As Bi Fan was admiring the beautiful scenery, he suddenly felt uneasy, always feeling like something was about to happen.
He heightened his vigilance, ready to strike at any moment.
Ahead, he had to pass through a forest. The trees in the forest were dense, with towering trees everywhere.
The closer he got to the forest, the more uneasy Bi Fan felt.
However, upon reaching the entrance of the forest, Bi Fan did not hesitate in the slightest and resolutely walked in.
To become a strong person, mere great fortune is not enough; one also needs great perseverance, great courage, and great wisdom.
If Bi Fan were to be afraid to enter the forest because of his unease, what courage would he have to face the countless hardships on the path of cultivation?
With the Flowing Light Sword in hand, Bi Fan's courage surged, and he moved forward quickly. He was extremely cautious, constantly paying attention to any rustling in the surroundings.
"Haha, kid, you're quite careful." Suddenly, a person with a loud laugh emerged, appearing within Bi Fan's sight.
This person was shrouded in black energy, exuding a powerful aura and a strong sense of coldness.
Needless to say, this person must have practiced a very sinister demonic art and was a cultivator from the Demon Sect.
Bi Fan's heart trembled violently because the opponent's strength was formidable, and he couldn't see through it at all, indicating that the other party was at least one or two realms higher than him.
The person did not rush to attack, fully intending to play with him like a cat playing with a mouse, enjoying Bi Fan's fearful expression.
Bi Fan disappointed him, as he quickly calmed down.
"Since you want to kill me, why don't you make your move? Are you afraid of me?"
The man roared in anger, "Kid, you want to die quickly, it's not that easy. I will defeat you, then torture you in every way possible, making you wish you were dead but unable to die."
Bi Fan suddenly attacked, unleashing the Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art.
The Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art had a total of seventy-two moves, all of which Bi Fan had learned. It was the perfect opportunity to test it out.
Bi Fan executed the Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art, combining it with the basic footwork of the Misty Dance. The two complemented each other perfectly, his sword moves elegant and swift, his speed incredibly fast.
The man blocking his path suddenly produced a dark, large saber and directly blocked Bi Fan's attack.
"Kid, you've learned the Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art well, but this is all the strength you have. You're still far from enough." The man spoke while parrying Bi Fan's attacks, appearing very relaxed.
"He's actually a Spiritual Wisdom Realm expert!" Bi Fan was utterly shocked.
This person didn't know why they were ambushing him, but their strength was indeed formidable, comparable to the outstanding Inner Disciples of the Qingyang Sect.
Bi Fan really couldn't recall offending such a person anywhere. Was it truly that righteousness and evil are irreconcilable and must clash on sight?
Bi Fan knew it couldn't be that simple. The man's appearance was too sudden, as if he had come specifically for him.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to have some insight despite your weak strength. Since you know my power, surrender obediently, and I'll make you suffer a little less." The man was extremely arrogant.
Bi Fan's cultivation was only at the peak of the Inner Breath Realm, a difference of three levels from the Spiritual Wisdom Realm. The disparity in strength was too great. Although Bi Fan had many tricks up his sleeve, he couldn't think of a way to overcome the enemy.
While thinking, Bi Fan's hands did not stop, executing each move of the Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art.
Even if he was outmatched, Bi Fan would not surrender.
The man seemed to be toying with Bi Fan, merely blocking his attacks casually without counterattacking.
Bi Fan calmed himself and began practicing his martial arts against the opponent.
The Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art became smoother in Bi Fan's hands, and its power gradually increased.
Practicing in seclusion was always inferior to actual combat; real battles could indeed help one master martial arts quickly.
Bi Fan had already started his second round of the Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art when the other man finally got angry and launched a counterattack.
The newcomer was indeed a strong practitioner of the Spiritual Wisdom realm. He swung his great saber, the pressure so immense that Bi Fan could barely breathe.
Qingyang Willow Catkin Sword Art, first stance: Falling Rain Flying Flowers Sword!
Sensing the situation turning unfavorable, Bi Fan unleashed his strongest move. The Flowing Light Sword transformed into countless snowflakes, rushing towards the opponent.
"This move isn't bad..." The opponent's great saber morphed into countless saber shadows, instantly shattering Bi Fan's sword technique.
The gap in their strength was too vast; there was no way to continue fighting.
"Kid, you're still far from ready. I could crush you with ease." The man's face contorted ferociously, his expression sinister.
Seeing his sword techniques were ineffective, Bi Fan directly put away the Flowing Light Sword, preparing to face the enemy with his most proficient Myriad Ancestor Fist.
"Kid, I'll play with you properly then." The man sheathed his great saber and sneered.
Bi Fan was not afraid and executed the Myriad Ancestor Fist, move by move.
Since the opponent intended to toy with him, Bi Fan fully immersed himself in the practical combat experience.
Myriad Ancestor Fist, Misty Dance basic footwork, Dragon Roaring Tiger Howling Fist – he unleashed them all, occasionally interspersing them with techniques from Carefree Immortal Finger and the Blood Demon Technique, a chaotic and unrestrained display.
Bi Fan primarily used the Myriad Ancestor Fist, Misty Dance basic footwork, and the Blood Demon Technique. In critical moments, he unleashed Dragon Roaring Tiger Howling Fist and Carefree Immortal Finger for self-preservation. Astonishingly, he fought the opponent for over a hundred moves without even realizing it.
Of course, the opponent did not wish to defeat Bi Fan too quickly, so he did not use his full strength.
Especially after Bi Fan displayed some techniques from the Blood Demon Technique, the opponent's eyes lit up, and he became even less eager to finish the fight.
The techniques within the Blood Demon Technique were sinister and vicious, perfectly suited for demonic cultivators. The opponent recognized this immediately.
He wanted to gauge Bi Fan's true capabilities, so he naturally had to force Bi Fan to use more moves.
