The sword energy surged with a bizarre Blood Spirit Poison Fire, and before even nearing, the thick scent of blood was already overwhelming, making the Thunder Clan woman's face turn deathly pale as she had never expected her Wild Electric Shock to be broken so easily by her opponent.
"Shan Ling, retreat quickly! Flash Thunder Blade? Big Electric Blade!!"
Just then, a figure burst out from behind the Thunder Clan woman, followed by two giant purple Thunder Light blades slashing towards Zhu Bufan's Chenjiang Duanliu Break.
'Boom'
A loud explosion erupted, and the hurricane forced both the Thunder Tribe and the Electric Flash Tribe to temporarily retreat. When the hurricane subsided, the previously entangled warriors from both tribes had unusually returned to their respective tribes.
"Shan Ling! How come you are here?" Shan Heng, who had been fighting fiercely with Lei Gang, finally saw the Thunder Clan woman Shan Ling, who had just clashed with Zhu Bufan. The Thunder Clan man who had just blocked Zhu Bufan's Chenjiang Duanliu Break for Shan Ling was now standing in front of her cautiously, his large hands trembling.
"Shan Tu! What do you mean by this? Who allowed you to save her? Do you think I would lose to that human? Get lost!" Ignoring Shan Heng, Shan Ling instead glared menacingly at Shan Tu, the handsome Thunder Clan man in front of her, who could only force a bitter smile upon hearing her words and did not reply, simply looking helplessly at Shan Heng.
"Shan Ling! Stop it, Shan Tu was sent with you by me because I was afraid you'd cause trouble! How did you even get here? Don't you know this place is dangerous?" Shan Heng quickly moved to Shan Ling's side, looking extremely frustrated and with blood at the corner of his mouth from fighting Lei Gang.
"Clan Leader, who is that crazy woman?" During the conversation in the Electric Flash Tribe, warriors of Thunder Tribe were busy recuperating. Zhu Bufan, after quickly moving next to Lei Gang, asked him.
"Brother Nie, you better go back first. Our tribe's war is not open for outsiders to intervene, that woman is Shan Heng's daughter, very talented but alas, she's still a girl, hah! I can't believe she actually ran over here on her own, Shan Heng must be worried about his daughter getting wiped out."
"Don't worry Clan Leader, I was actually just planning to come and look anyway, if it wasn't for that crazy woman's sudden attack, I really couldn't be bothered." Zhu Bufan rolled his eyes and quickly clarified.
"Why not! Why can only you men fight and I can't? I want to fight for our tribe too! I don't care! And that human! I want to challenge him!" Shan Ling, with eyes wide and full of fury, wouldn't listen to anyone. In her mind, all that lingered was the memory of her Wild Electric Shock being broken and Zhu Bufan's mocking smile that made her feel inexplicably humiliated.
Of course, this so-called mocking smile was just Shan Ling's own imagination. Let alone whether Zhu Bufan had the time to mock her after breaking her Wild Electric Shock, it was unlikely that Shan Ling could have seen Zhu Bufan's smile through the overwhelming sword energies and Blood Spirit Poison Fire.
Naturally, Shan Ling couldn't think of that now, her rage completely replacing reason. Humans had always been objects of her disdain, the humiliation of having her Wild Electric Shock broken by a human was something she had to avenge no matter what.
"Shan Ling, stop it, you saw that move just now, it's really too forced..." Before he could finish speaking, Shan Tu had already rushed out to oppose, desperation written all over his handsome face, but he didn't realize that doing so only fueled Shan Ling's competitive spirit. Without saying another word, Shan Ling suddenly leapt out from the Electric Flash Tribe's crowd and pointed at Zhu Bufan, "Human! I challenge you to a duel to the death!"
To the death.
As soon as these words were uttered, both the Thunder Tribe and Electric Flash Tribe watched Shan Ling blankly. In the battles of Thunder Tribe, challenging was sacred, akin to the duels of ancient warriors.
Zhu Bufan, being named in the challenge, was utterly baffled. He really didn't understand how this fiery beauty from the Electric Flash Tribe had targeted him, considering her eyes seemed to want to tear him apart, Zhu Bufan truly didn't know how he had offended her.
"Shan Ling, don't be ridiculous! He's just a human, how could he be worthy of our Thunder Clan's sacred duel? Come back!" The iron-faced Shan Heng stepped forward and immediately shouted loudly at Shan Ling.
"Hmph! Shan Heng! This might not really be a matter of race, right? Since your daughter proposed a duel, that's a declaration of war!" Lei Gang stepped forward, his voice as firm as Shan Heng's, and he secretly whispered to Zhu Bufan: "Brother Nie, find a chance to kill Shan Heng's daughter!"
"Lei Gang, you!" Lei Gang's words made Shan Heng's eyes widen, a murderous glare flaring in them, while Lei Gang looked at Shan Heng with a cold smile, utterly indifferent to his anger.
"D*mn it, what exactly is going on here?" Suddenly caught in this predicament, Zhu Bufan was really flustered, but soon, a hint of anticipation rose. Having just entered the Early Stage of Body Tempering Ninth Layer Heaven, he also wanted a good fight.
"This battle, I, Shan Tu, will take it! Human, your opponent is me!" A figure swiftly charged into the arena, Shan Tu's eyes fiercely fixated on Zhu Bufan. Seeing her duel stolen, Shan Ling was about to explode, but was forcefully pulled back by Shan Heng.
"Shan Tu is a well-known young warrior of the Electric Flash Tribe, with high cultivation at a young age, and was personally taught the martial arts technique Flash Thunder Blade by Shan Heng..."
Before Lei Gang could finish speaking, Zhu Bufan had already jumped into the arena and said with a smile, "Since the warrior of the Electric Flash Tribe wants to play, I'll join you for some fun."
"Roar!! Despicable humans, you actually despise the sacred duel?"
"Shan Tu! Kill this arrogant human!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Zhu Bufan treating the duel casually had driven everyone from the Electric Flash Tribe mad, their voices cursing Zhu Bufan turned into a torrent of cries to 'kill him.' Seeing Zhu Bufan not fearing and accepting the challenge from the renowned new warrior of the Electric Flash Tribe, the warriors from Thunder Tribe also cheered loudly.
"I am Shan Tu from the Electric Flash Tribe, are you ready to die, despicable human?" Looking coldly at Zhu Bufan, blue thunder light emanated from Shan Tu's hands, and two Lightning Blades faintly formed in his hands.
"Don't speak so nobly, your Clan Leader isn't any better, right? Your Jade Talisman Elixirs, don't tell me they are produced by someone from your Electric Flash Tribe." Chuckling coldly, Zhu Bufan unleashed the 'Emperor Yan's Army Breaking,' which instantly transformed into 'Purple Cloud,' with purple-red fire snake Spiritual Energy continuously swirling around Purple Cloud.
"What was that Martial Arts technique you used just now?" Staring intently at Zhu Bufan, Shan Tu suddenly said, "But it doesn't matter, relying solely on superior martial arts will never make one the strongest warrior, you're just third-rate!"
"Third-rate? Then it seems that someone defeated by a third-rate skill is really out of the league. But never mind, I have killed second-rate and third-rate before, just never a worthless one out of the league." Zhu Bufan was never one to fall behind in a verbal duel.
"Arrogant! Go to die, vile human!!"
With a stamp of his right foot, Shan Tu shot towards Zhu Bufan like a cannonball, the Thunder Blade in his hands already turned into solid form, overflowing with Thunder Power like a hurricane, if one were to judge by cultivation, it's probably above the eighth layer of Bone Forging, seeing that he's only about twenty years old, reaching this level is indeed not simple.
"Damn! Really troublesome!" Shan Tu, having fully unleashed his cultivation, was significantly more powerful than Zhu Bufan, not just by one level. Feeling the intense electricity coming towards him mixed with deep Killing Intent, Zhu Bufan frowned and continuously moved, deploying the enigmatic step technique Heavenly Freedom.
"Heavenly Tyrant Mixed Element Sword – Blood Slaughter Shattering Heaven and Earth!"
The purple-red fire snakes were continuously unleashed, then like dragons emerging from the sea, they charged towards Shan Tu. Facing Zhu Bufan's attack, Shan Tu's expression was unchanging, his Thunder Hand Blade continuously swung, cutting down the purple-red fire snakes Zhu Bufan sent out.
"Humans! Let me show you just how far apart you are from us Thunder Clan fighters, Flash Thunder Blade – Thousand Cuts!"
Countless Thunder Hand Blades were continuously unleashed by Shan Tu, gradually forming a tornado of blades swirling towards Zhu Bufan, pulling the surrounding Thunder Power into the blade tornado.
"Hmph! This move of yours is far inferior compared to your Clan Leader's!" With a cold laugh, Zhu Bufan abruptly raised Purple Cloud in his hands, similarly, countless lights from the sword started swirling into a tornado, rolling towards the Thousand Cuts.
"Chenjiang Duanliu Break – Wave-Rolling Formation!"
Much like a tornado-force against the enemy, but Zhu Bufan's Chenjiang Duanliu Break was evidently a notch above the opponent's Flash Thunder Blade. The moment sword energy collided with the blade energy, it turned into a deadlock. By comparing Zhu Bufan and Shan Tu's difference in cultivation, one could clearly see the gap in their Martial Arts techniques.
"Just relying on Martial Arts, despicable human! Give me your life!" With a roar, Shan Tu's Thousand Cuts suddenly exerted force, quickly suppressing Zhu Bufan's Wave-Rolling Formation, and the sword energy laden with Blood Spirit Poison Fire began to quickly collapse, Shan Tu also began to show a hint of a cold smile.
However, this hint of a cold smile had just appeared on Shan Tu's face, but it immediately cooled down, as Shan Tu clearly saw, beneath the collapsing sword energy, Zhu Bufan was not there at all, before the surprise could even appear, Zhu Bufan's voice had already come from beside Shan Tu.
"You also just rely on cultivation, your actual combat isn't necessarily that strong."
