The first ti Ling Zhenfei t Bai i, he knew that Bai i was no ordinary man. Although Bai i's ntal faculties were not entirely sound, "a fool's fortune is a wise man's envy". He truly wondered how Bai i managed to cultivate to such an advanced realm.
Ling Zhenfei, of course, was not afraid of Bai i's assault. Although their strengths were not far apart, Ling Zhenfei was not what he once was. He had many techniques to preserve his life and his ultimate moves were extrely powerful, enough to confront any master of the sa level.
Stepping with the Blooming Step Technique, Ling Zhenfei easily dodged Bai i's attack and then started his counterattack towards Bai i.
"It's actually Bai i... Bai i, why are you attacking my brother?" said Chunyu in great surprise upon learning that the man in black was Bai i, shouting at him.
During this period, Chunyu sparred with Bai i in the forest every morning, which was essentially a process of Chunyu seeking instruction from him.
If Bai i had been even slightly more serious, Chunyu would have never managed to exchange so many moves with him.
Having such a person to spar with was a trendous advantage for Chunyu's progress.
Of course, after spending so much ti together, they had long beco good friends. Therefore, Chunyu was utterly astonished to discover that the man in black was Bai i, as she could hardly believe it all.
But Bai i remained silent, seemingly determined to kill Ling Zhenfei no matter what.
Bai i's techniques were evidently lethal; an accidental hit would surely result in broken bones and torn muscles.
Bai i's moves were also exquisite. The people from Qiulian Mountain were known for their techniques, like Hu Tou and Snake Head previously, who both relied on their techniques for victory.
Now, with Bai i's strength reaching the Zhiyi state combined with his exquisite techniques, he truly could be called a master.
However, the weakness of this master was quite apparent. His moves were all by the book, with little variation and too few patterns. Thus, against a master like Ling Zhenfei, such techniques were largely ineffective.
While confronting Bai i, Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "I know why you're attacking , but do you think you are my match?"
Finally, Bai i spoke, "Even if I'm not your match, I will still fight you because my grandfather commanded to kill you. I have to obey my grandfather's orders."
Ling Zhenfei scoffed, "Your grandfather doesn't even know where he is right now. Do you know if your grandfather truly wants dead?"
"I don't care, but I know you must die."
Bai i's voice was cold, truly befitting that of an assassin.
"How about we talk about sothing happier?" suggested Ling Zhenfei. "You've been at the manor for quite so ti. Do you like it here?"
"What does it matter if I like it? It won't beco a reason for not to kill you."
"But now that you've taken action, you'll have to leave. Don't you feel a bit of regret?" Ling Zhenfei said.
"Regret?" Bai i visibly shuddered for a mont. It seed there were indeed things here he was reluctant to leave behind.
But this was only for a few seconds before Bai i regained his senses, and the Northern Spiritual Energy in his hands beca even more intense.
"I don't care about all that. I just want to kill you," he declared.
Like a madman, Bai i launched a frenzied attack on Ling Zhenfei, seemingly reckless of his own life.
Ling Zhenfei, sowhat angered, said, "You're stubbornly ignorant. Since it's co to this, I'll let you see the difference between you and ."
Having said that, Ling Zhenfei's figure turned, his Northern Spiritual Energy gathered, and he suddenly sped up, throwing a punch at Bai i.
Ling Zhenfei's first counterattack was none other than the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, intended to teach Bai i a lesson.
As Ling Zhenfei's fist ca towards him, Bai i seed sowhat eager and also threw a punch back at Ling Zhenfei.
Boom!
Their fists collided, the impact sound was accompanied by the visible stirring of the surrounding Northern Spiritual Energy.
Though there was no wind blowing, one could still feel sothing brushing against their face.
The punch had Bai i montarily stunned, but at that mont, Ling Zhenfei's second punch had already co swinging in, with double the strength of the previous one.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei's fist approaching, Bai i's eyes revealed a slight surprise, yet still unyielding, he counterattacked towards Ling Zhenfei's fist.
Boom!
The powerful collision was much like the one before, only this ti Bai i was forced several steps backward by Ling Zhenfei's imnse power.
Bai i clearly had not anticipated Ling Zhenfei's strength to increase so rapidly; the second punch being twice as strong as the first was easier said than done.
In the midst of Bai i's surprise, he saw Ling Zhenfei's third punch coming at him incredibly fast, so fast that it was alarming.
Although he hadn't made contact with Ling Zhenfei's fist, rely from the Northern Spiritual Energy it stirred, it was evident that the punch was terrifyingly powerful.
But the situation had escalated to this point, there was no path of retreat left, and Bai i could only concentrate all his strongest Northern Spiritual Energy and launched it towards Ling Zhenfei.
Boom!
Upon contact, the punch unleashed a powerful surge of Northern Spiritual Energy, sending Bai i flying out before he could even react, crashing heavily to the ground.
Under normal circumstances, the third punch shouldn't have been able to send a cultivator of equal realm like Ling Zhenfei flying, but Bai i was just too straightforward, relying solely on a contest of Northern Spiritual Energy without any subtlety.
That was precisely why he was sent flying by Ling Zhenfei's third punch; the second punch was twice the first, and the third was twice the second.
Hence the third punch was four tis the power of the first. Northern Spiritual Energy four tis that of the Zhiyi state, this was simply unimaginable.
Therefore, in a head-on clash, Bai i stood no chance against Ling Zhenfei and was knocked to the ground.
Everyone watching was sowhat taken aback by what had just happened, it was simply inconceivable for Zhou Yun and Jiu Jiu, who had never witnessed such a fight.
Chunyu walked over to Bai i, lifted the cloth that had been covering his face, revealing his sowhat naïve and dazed appearance.
"It really is you, Bai i. Why would you do sothing like this?"
Shock was evident on Chunyu's face, truly not expecting this person to be Bai i. When Ling Zhenfei had ntioned it earlier, Chunyu had doubted whether Ling Zhenfei could be mistaken.
It wasn't until Chunyu saw Bai i in person that she dared not believe it, for how could soone with such a naïve expression be an assassin?
Bai i clearly had no intention of resisting. He said, "Originally, my aim for coming here was to kill Ling Zhenfei, but I never knew who he was before. Now that I know, I definitely have to kill him."
Ling Zhenfei was very curious about Bai i; after so long, how co he didn't know who he was going to kill, and why was it that upon his return, he knew?
Chunyu, wearing an unhappy expression, said to Bai i, "What about now, then? Do you still want to kill my brother?"
Bai i shook his head, "Not anymore. He's simply too powerful; I'm no match for him."
Chunyu looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Brother, what should we do now? Are you going to kill him?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Your brother isn't a murderer. Let him go."
Chunyu looked at Bai i, "My brother has let you go. Hurry up and leave, and don't think about killing my brother again."
