After leaving the mountain villa, the mountain wind outside was piercingly cold.

Blowing on one’s face, it felt as if sharp steel blades were scraping across.

Xiao Zheng followed the guide until they reached a place near the cliff, where he finally saw Wei Busheng. At this time, only the three of them were there by the cliff. As for Liu Wufeng’s other disciples, not a single one had appeared.

"Seventh Junior Brother, there’s nothing for you to do here anymore. You can go back now."

Wei Busheng said slowly.

Hearing this, the Seventh Junior Brother felt as if he had been granted amnesty and quickly turned to leave.

Although he really wanted to stay and watch the excitement, he was also afraid of being caught up in the trouble.

If a fight broke out, and Xiao Zheng got angry, killing him first, he would have nowhere to even cry out his grievances.

When only the two of them were left at the cliff, Wei Busheng’s gaze slowly fell on Xiao Zheng: "I’m surprised that you actually came to the invitation. At first, I thought you wouldn’t come."

"Actually, you guessed right. Initially, I really didn’t want to come," Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "After all, besides invitations from women, I generally don’t bother with other appointments."

"If it weren’t for that kid earlier talking so badly, angering me, I wouldn’t have come."

"He angered you? So what do you want to do now?" Wei Busheng asked with interest.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng replied matter-of-factly: "Of course, beat you up to vent my anger. Otherwise, what else can I do? Do you expect me to drink and chat with you here, invite songs under the moon?"

Upon hearing his words, Wei Busheng was momentarily at a loss for what to say.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Actually, my foster father forbade me from seeking you out. But because I really want to spar with you, I disobeyed his orders. This is my first time going against my foster father’s words."

"You really are a well-behaved child," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

Ignoring Xiao Zheng’s taunt, Wei Busheng continued: "I’m very curious, very curious about your identity. Who are you? Why were you able to effortlessly dissolve my attack when we met this morning?"

"Because I am stronger than you, isn’t that obvious?" Xiao Zheng said with a resigned expression, sighing.

Wei Busheng’s eye twitched slightly, finally agitated by Xiao Zheng’s audacity: "I’ve been practicing for over twenty years, and you’re the first person who dares to say they’re stronger than me right to my face."

"That’s because you hadn’t met me sooner, or you wouldn’t have waited over twenty years," Xiao Zheng said.

Wei Busheng’s eye twitched again.

He suddenly realized that if he kept talking to Xiao Zheng, he would definitely be driven mad by Xiao Zheng’s words.

Shaking his head, Wei Busheng hesitated no more and decided to take action.

He cultivates the most advanced Body Refining Techniques in the Demon path, called the "Heavenly Demon Body Refining Technique." If one masters it to the extreme, one could sanctify the body and lift mountains with ease!

However, it was clear that Wei Busheng had not reached such a realm, and was quite far from it.

Nonetheless, even so, his aura was still impressive.

As he punched, even the space seemed to tremble.

This was definitely Wei Busheng’s strongest punch. He was confident that even against a middle-stage Martial Saint, he could put up a fight with this punch. Then, his fist, carrying an almost invincible momentum, smashed towards Qin Chuan.

Yet, from start to finish, Xiao Zheng didn’t even move.

His stance was relaxed, full of openings.

He even yawned, as if he didn’t regard Wei Busheng’s attack at all. Not until Wei Busheng’s fist drew near did he calmly conjure a layer of Vigorous Energy Shield.

A golden shield rose in front of Xiao Zheng.

Boom!

Wei Busheng’s fist struck the Vigorous Energy Shield immediately!

Yet to his astonishment, even his strongest punch failed to break through Xiao Zheng’s Protective Gang Qi! The disparity in power was so stark, leaving him slightly unable to accept it!

"This is impossible! Only a handful of people under the heaven can take this punch of mine!"

"But I’ve never seen you before, who on earth are you?"

Wei Busheng abruptly distanced himself from Xiao Zheng, eyes full of dread.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng dug his ears, then said impatiently: "Have you finished your nonsense? If you are done, it’s my turn to strike. Having so much to say in a fight, I suggest you switch careers to storytelling, that suits you better."

Raging flames ignited within Wei Busheng, but were soon replaced by shock.

After Xiao Zheng spoke, his body suddenly disappeared from Wei Busheng’s sight. It was as if he had evaporated into thin air, not even his shadow could be seen.

"Where on earth did he go?"

Wei Busheng was incredibly shocked internally, scanning everywhere with his gaze.

However, at this time, Xiao Zheng’s voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "No need to look, I’m above your head."

What!

Wei Busheng’s eyes flashed with horror, and he suddenly looked up, to find Xiao Zheng above him!

At this moment, Xiao Zheng was displaying a set of palm techniques descending from the sky!

A palm pressed down, like the sky collapsing!

Just the momentum from this palm almost crushed Wei Busheng to death, the bones and joints of his whole body continuously making cracking sounds, as if they were about to disintegrate at any moment.

As Xiao Zheng’s palm got closer and closer, the pressure became even more overwhelming.

Wei Busheng couldn’t support it anymore, his legs heavy kneeled to the ground, even his knees shattered! The skin exploded piece by piece, blood continuously gushing from the wounds!

In less than a heartbeat, he had turned into a blood-soaked man!

At this moment, Wei Busheng even had the mind to slap himself. If he had known how strong Xiao Zheng was, he wouldn’t have challenged Xiao Zheng even if it killed him.

However, in this world, there’s never any medicine for regret.

Wei Busheng’s consciousness gradually dimmed, and he felt he saw the legendary underworld.

"Am I really going to die here?"

This was the last thought that flashed in Wei Busheng’s mind before he fainted.

He didn’t know that someone had intervened at the last moment to block Xiao Zheng’s palm for him.

Boom!

The terrifying explosion sounded once again, wind and thunder shook in unison!

When the remaining power of Xiao Zheng’s palm dissipated, the cliff beneath their feet was already scarred. It was like a woven spider web, with cracks everywhere to be seen.

"You finally came."

"I thought you would be a coward your entire life."

Looking at Liu Wufeng who suddenly appeared in front of him, Xiao Zheng’s smile held a hint of contempt.
