“I didn't expect him to actually come.”
Haitang nodded, her expression solemn.
“I wonder what else in this world Fahai wouldn't dare to do.”
“He can openly appear here, in front of everyone.”
“From now on, he will be the target of all.”
Sure enough, as soon as Fahai appeared, countless gazes converged on him.
Their eyes were filled with covetousness and ruthlessness.
He controlled the key to Yang Gong's Treasure Trove, and everyone was here for it.
Conflict was bound to be unavoidable.
Just then, a burly, tall figure suddenly stepped out from the crowd, an imposing Aura erupting from his body, his Qi sweeping around like a torrent, his might astonishing!
“Fahai, hand over the Treasure Trove key!”
Who said that?
Isn't this clearly asking to become the target of all?
The first person to challenge Fahai, dared to be so strong?
Was he not afraid of angering this powerful expert known for his ruthlessness?
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, each one too shocked to close their mouths.
It was him!
No wonder he dared to be so presumptuous!
Bu Jingyun of the Heavenly Cloud Hall, nicknamed “Undying Weeping God”!
A Second-grade Great Grandmaster, a top expert on the Heavenly Ranking!
He was also the fifth-ranked person on the former heavenly pride ranking!
This person was Xiongba's Personal Disciple, and it was rumored that his Paiyun Palm was incomparably overbearing, its power earth-shattering!
Speaking of which, Fahai was able to secure the fifth position on the heavenly pride ranking precisely because he pushed Bu Jingyun out.
Unexpectedly, he actually appeared today!
Soon, someone suddenly seemed to think of something and hastily searched for a certain figure in the crowd.
Sure enough, not far behind Bu Jingyun, stood a handsome and tall figure—Nie Feng!
The two of them, Feng and Yun, were inseparable!
Since Bu Jingyun had appeared, Nie Feng would naturally also be present!
It was indeed so!
The Heavenly Cloud Hall had long harbored ambitions to rule the Martial Forest.
This time, Feng and Yun's simultaneous arrival at the entrance of Yang Gong's Treasure Trove was definitely not for a simple purpose.
They must be here to contend for this legendary Treasure Trove!
Otherwise, why would Xiongba send his two most favored Disciples together?
Wudang had made no move, but the Heavenly Cloud Hall had already intervened forcefully.
Although Fahai was strong, Bu Jingyun was not someone to be trifled with.
A Second-grade Great Grandmaster, once in the top five of the heavenly pride ranking, his strength could not be underestimated.
“Bu Jingyun is about to make a move!”
“This duel will surely be earth-shattering!”
“I think Bu Jingyun has a greater chance of winning; he is a Great Grandmaster, while Fahai is only a Grandmaster.”
“The key is those two young men, don't forget they still have the Chang Sheng Jue in their hands!”
“The Chang Sheng Jue is one of the Four Great Divine Books; is it merely a key to open the Treasure Trove? It's probably more than that!”
“This Cultivation Technique must have other mysteries.”
“It might play a decisive role at the critical moment of contending for the evil emperor relic or opening the Treasure Trove.”
“If that's truly the case, the benefits would be too immense!”
“Therefore, those two young men cannot be controlled by Fahai alone!”
“That's right, they absolutely cannot all fall into Fahai's hands.”
Upon hearing the names “Bu Jingyun” and “Heavenly Cloud Hall,” Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong's expressions immediately changed, revealing fear.
It's him!
Bu Jingyun was also a famous strong expert in the Jianghu, with terrifying combat power.
Could Fahai deal with him?
The two couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Currently, following Fahai, although he also came for the Treasure Trove, he at least treated them well and did not harm them.
If it were anyone else, the outcome would be uncertain.
They did not want to leave Fahai.
Seeing this, Shi Feixuan gently comforted them, “No need to panic, you must believe in Fahai's strength.”
Having witnessed Fahai's Divine Ability, Shi Feixuan had long been aware of his unfathomable depth.
“Since Miss Shi trusts this poor monk so much, this poor monk will certainly live up to the trust.”
As his voice fell, Fahai slowly stepped out, facing Bu Jingyun head-on.
“You are Bu Jingyun…”
In his early years, Bu Jingyun was once regarded as an anomaly in the Martial Forest, but after the rebellion of Jue Wushen, the resurrection of Di Shitian, the betrayal of Duan Lang, and the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns, he had moved from the Evil Path to the righteous path, becoming another Martial Forest legend after Wuming.
He once joined forces with his Junior Brother Nie Feng to eliminate Xiongba and defeat powerful enemies such as Jue Wushen and Di Shitian.
He eventually gained the power of the Dragon Yuan, becoming immortal, living for a thousand years in the world, personally experiencing countless changes, and becoming a recognized Martial Forest myth.
In his Late Stage, Bu Jingyun was highly likely to step into the legendary Land Immortal Realm.
He was already exceptionally talented, further augmented by the Dragon Yuan, and with a thousand years of Cultivation accumulation.
However, the current him had not yet fully matured.
Xiongba was still alive, and the Peerless Sword had not yet been acquired.
The Bu Jingyun before them was still in his nascent stage.
Using him to establish his might was most fitting!
It could both deter the heroes and dispel many people's delusions.
Otherwise, some might truly think he could be easily manipulated.
“Apologies, this poor monk has no intention of handing anyone over.”
Fahai took a step forward, his eyes as calm as water.
Bu Jingyun was displeased.
“Then I will take them myself.”
“If benefactor truly has that ability, this poor monk will not object.”
With that said, Bu Jingyun suddenly released his Aura, shaking heaven and earth!
The might of a Second-grade Great Grandmaster, spanning thousands of miles, was like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, awe-inspiring.
His expression was stern, without a single word of nonsense, he unleashed a palm strike with a thunderous roar, Internal Energy surging, incredibly fierce, directly aimed at Fahai's chest.
This palm strike, its Aura like a rainbow, was like a flood Dragon soaring into the sky!
“Hiss—”
“As expected of the Undying Weeping God, so powerful!”
“The power of this palm can be called world-shattering; ordinary Grandmasters simply cannot withstand it!”
“Even a Third-grade Great Grandmaster might not be able to take this full-force strike!”
“Although Fahai is extraordinary, he is ultimately only at the Grandmaster Realm, even though he once defeated First-grade Yun Feiyang.”
“But each grade is a world apart; everyone understands this gap. For him to defeat Bu Jingyun is extremely difficult.”
Everyone knew that among Great Grandmasters, even a single grade difference was a world apart.
Although Fahai had once defeated Yun Feiyang, he might not be able to contend with a Second-grade expert like Bu Jingyun.
What's more, Bu Jingyun displayed overwhelming strength from the very beginning.
And his Paiyun Palm was a renowned, top-tier martial art.
Facing this fierce and domineering strike, Fahai remained composed, without a trace of fear.
You use a palm to defeat your enemy, and I too will respond with a palm!
“Great Might Heavenly Dragon!”
A furious roar echoed through the sky, and above the Nine Heavens, a giant Dragon seemed to soar, emitting a deafening Dragon roar!
The sound shook all directions; the entire Jinling City was startled by this Dragon's roar!
The Heavenly Dragon descended!
An overwhelming might suddenly poured out, meeting Bu Jingyun's earth-shattering palm strike!
The violent Qi surged and roared, causing the wind and clouds to change color, and heaven and earth to tremble!
Fahai, however, stood unmoving like a rock.
“How is this possible?!”
Bu Jingyun's heart trembled.
The power of that palm strike was enough to severely injure a First-grade Great Grandmaster.
But Fahai was clearly only at the Grandmaster Realm, so why was he completely unharmed?!
As if seeing through Bu Jingyun's doubts, Fahai's lips curved slightly, and he said, “Who said that only you are a Great Grandmaster?”
As soon as his voice fell, the Qi waves exploded, and the Aura around Fahai swept out like a volcanic eruption!
He is a Great Grandmaster!
Fahai stood proudly in place, his body radiating powerful Qi, unmatched by anyone!
Fahai is a Great Grandmaster!
Someone in the crowd was so shocked they almost bit their tongue.
“Fahai has actually stepped into the Grandmaster Realm?!”
“He's actually a Great Grandmaster?!”
In front of Yang Gong's Treasure Trove, everyone's expressions changed, as if they had witnessed something incredible.
