236 - We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

**Chapter 236: Disciples of the Black Dragon Sect, Merely So!** "Wen Shixiong!" The disciples of Lianhe Peak cried out in shock, watching helplessly as their senior brother met a tragic end right before their eyes. Their eyes brimmed with rage, fists clenched tightly, fingernails nearly piercing their palms. "Min!" In the mid-air, the fiery jade phoenix executed a graceful turn, landing once more behind Chang Fen. Its wings spread wide, unleashing waves of scorching flames, with a sharp cry that seemed to taunt. "I told you, trash will always be trash." Chang Fen sighed lightly, shaking his head, a trace of disinterest flickering in his eyes. "Who else wants to come forward and die?" "I'll go!" A few of the Lianhe Peak disciples, unable to contain their fury, were about to rush forward to fight Chang Fen to the death. "Stand down!" At that moment, the voice of the Lianhe Peak master resounded deeply from the mountaintop. Several lotus-shaped light barriers emerged, blocking the disciples. "Master! We are willing to fight to the death!" The disciples of Lianhe Peak shouted in unison, their voices filled with determination and unwillingness. However, the Lianhe Peak master seemed oblivious to his disciples' plea for battle. He merely fixed his gaze on Chang Fen, finally squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth: "Lianhe Peak... concedes!" "Master!" A few of the direct disciples cried out in grief. "A wise choice." Chang Fen chuckled softly, turning his gaze toward another distant peak. "The next one, let it be that one!" Before the words finished leaving his mouth, he leapt up, heading directly towards Bai Xiang Peak. "Come at me! Let me face you!" Xue Yuqun, the senior disciple of Bai Xiang Peak, soared from the peak, ready to confront the adversary. Yet, in that instant, another figure dashed out from the peak, targeting Chang Fen. "No need to trouble Shixiong; allow this Shidi to behead him and honor Shixiong with the trophy for our feast!" "Roar!!!" A roar akin to the wrath of a giant elephant reverberated through the air. The second disciple of Bai Xiang Peak launched into the air, his right leg bearing immense force, descending upon Chang Fen and the fiery jade phoenix with fierce intent! Spiritual energy surged and gathered beneath his foot, eventually manifesting into the apparition of a white elephant. The disciples of Bai Xiang Peak trained in the "Illusion Art," rumored to be modeled after the mythical six-tusked white elephant. It is said that mastering this technique grants the power to shatter mountains and overturn islands with a single step. "A trivial trick!" Chang Fen sneered, neither dodging nor retreating, opting to meet the attack head-on with a punch. This act shocked the onlookers, who thought Chang Fen's arrogance extreme. The "Illusion Art" was notoriously dominant; even martial practitioners dared not confront it directly! Yet just as everyone expected the second Shixiong to crush this guy underfoot, Chang Fen’s fist clashed violently with the foot of Bai Xiang Peak’s second disciple, unleashing a berserk wave of spiritual energy which immediately splintered into a blood mist. "Shidi!" Xue Yuqun roared in anger, charging toward Chang Fen. "Beast, give me your life!" "You should accompany your Shidi on the way to the netherworld." Chang Fen glanced dismissively at him, but this time his demeanor grew a tad more serious. Xue Yuqun channeled all his energy into the "Illusion Art," transforming his form into a six-tusked white elephant, unleashing an earth-shattering bellow, his long trunk lashing toward Chang Fen with the force of a giant whip. This time Chang Fen chose not to take the attack head-on. His form flickered aside, revealing a crimson spear in his hand, which he thrust at lightning speed toward Xue Yuqun's abdomen. "Roar!" Xue Yuqun let out a pained howl, suppressing the agony to stomp down with great force. "Min!" The fiery jade phoenix rushed forward, shielding its master, taking the blow head-on.   With a forceful snap of its wings, it sent Xue Yuqun flying backward. Seizing the opportunity, Chang Fen advanced with his spear, launching a relentless offensive alongside the phoenix. Initially, Xue Yuqun managed to barely hold his ground, but as the fight dragged on, he increasingly struggled to keep up. "Yuqun, retreat!" The master of Bai Xiang Peak urgently shouted. But Xue Yuqun, consumed by a blood lust, paid no heed. "Boom!!!" After more than a dozen exchanges, a thunderous explosion echoed, as Xue Yuqun followed in the footsteps of his fellow disciple, bursting into a mist of blood. "I thought you could at least provide me some entertainment, but you’re just the same." Chang Fen shouldered his spear with a light sigh. "You disciples from these mountain sects are utterly useless. If you keep this up, there won't even be a need for Yunxi to step in — I alone can obliterate you." With that, he continued on his path, heading toward the next peak. More and more cultivators gathered to watch as word spread, each with eyes burning with anger, hoping someone could eventually put an end to Chang Fen. But as Chang Fen swept through, peak by peak, no disciple of the Black Dragon Sect managed to last more than thirty exchanges against him. Hu Gu stroked his beard, his expression increasingly smug. Chang Fen and Chen Yunxi were hailed as once-in-a-millennium prodigies of the Beast Sect! This venture to challenge the Black Dragon Sect was not only about seizing the Chaos Beast but also a prime opportunity to herald Chang Fen's name across the Western Domain. Currently, the entire Western Domain's attention seemed fixed on Xiao Mo of the Wandao Sect and Wangxin of Kongnian Temple. Yet, in Hu Gu's view, setting aside the acclaimed Heart of Seven Orifices, Xiao Mo of Wandao Sect was likely overrated — probably wouldn't even withstand twenty rounds against Chang Fen! "So be it," Hu Gu mused, shaking his head inwardly, "Once Chang Fen razes through Black Dragon Sect today, his fame is sure to resonate across the Western Domain. Then, we'll have him seek out Xiao Mo — one strike to end it." As Hu Gu pondered, Chang Fen had claimed yet another disciple's life. Seeing Chang Fen's imposing figure atop the fiery jade phoenix, spear in hand, the crowd couldn't help but feel a tremor in their hearts. Though they loathed Chang Fen to the core, wishing to devour him, they had to concede — his strength was terrifyingly formidable! They had never encountered a cultivator of such astounding talent. The elders and peak masters of the Black Dragon Sect sighed inwardly. They hadn't anticipated the young generation of the Beast Sect had matured to such an extent. This Chang Fen was destined to become a master of the Ascension Realm. When that day arrives, the Beast Sect could likely endure for thousands, even tens of thousands of years. Moreover, Chang Fen wasn’t the only outstanding disciple of the Beast Sect. Standing beside Hu Gu was Chen Yunxi, who wore a perpetual smile. His prowess was likely on par, if not greater than Chang Fen's. "Hey! Old man! Who exactly is the strongest among your young generation in Black Dragon Sect? Have them come out quickly! This master is running out of patience!" Chang Fen pointed his spear, calling out loudly to the Black Dragon Sect's leader, Luo Jie. Yet before he finished speaking. A long sword suddenly cleaved through the night sky like a falling meteor, aiming directly at Chang Fen’s face! Chang Fen furrowed his brow, immediately raising his spear to parry, the spear shaft deftly catching the sword tip. "Boom!" A tremendous force pressed down, causing Chang Fen to plummet, crashing into and collapsing half a mountaintop. Emerging from the rubble, he watched as the sword flew back, landing steadily in the hands of an abruptly appeared man. The disciples of Black Dragon Sect, upon seeing who had arrived, their eyes instantly lit up with excitement: "Shixiong!" (End of Chapter)
