A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 227: Youthful Vigor

An evil voice immediately echoed in his mind: "I don't see anything special about it."

Hearing this, Su Haijun finally felt relieved, because his opponent was of similar strength, and knowing oneself and one's enemy is the key to victory. However, in his heart, he gave the divine bone in Chao Bufan's hand a contemptuous word: ugly trash.

However, what Chao Bufan said next further convinced him of his judgment.

"Su Haijun, don't underestimate this weapon in my hand. I spent a lot of effort and money to have it custom-made. It's very flexible and has amazing destructive power!"

"Pfft! Hahahaha, I... I also think it's quite special."

When he first came to cause trouble for Chao Bufan, he was only 50% confident of success. Now, it seems he overestimated him; he's now 90% certain of killing Chao Bufan. So this time, he'll make Chao Bufan beg for mercy, he'll make him wish he were dead, he'll get back all the lost face in one go, only then can he quell Chao Bufan's hatred. However, he won't kill him just like that, because he said he'd slowly, slowly torture him until he dies from torture. Therefore, he changed his tone, mockingly saying, "Chao Bufan, do you know what I'm holding in my hand?"

Chao Bufan laughed and replied, "Of course I know. It's just a magic staff. Is it worth showing off?"

Su Haijun laughed and said, "Chao Bufan, don't say I didn't give you a chance. For Qianqian's sake, as long as you kneel down and beg me to spare you, and then cut off your own arm, I will let you go."

"Pfft!"

Chao Bufan chuckled and laughed, "Su Haijun, has your head been eaten by a pig? When you talk big, don't you even consider your own capabilities? Do you think you can command with a chicken feather? If I were you, I'd just pick a three-foot-long white water chestnut, find a crooked tree, and hang myself to avoid making a fool of myself."

Instead of getting angry, Su Haijun laughed and said, "Don't provoke me. You'll know whether I'm exaggerating or not once you try it."

As he spoke, he took a step back, and with a flick of his left hand, his originally jet-black and shiny witch's staff suddenly emitted a dazzling cold light, causing the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly. In the blink of an eye, white frost condensed on the leaves of the flowers, plants, and trees.

Young and impetuous, Su Haijun was clearly excited and expectant, as this was his first time fighting someone as a cultivator. A cold glint flashed, and he pointed forward. In an instant, the cold light flashed, swift as lightning, and an invisible, icy wave of energy, like a bloodthirsty demon, swept towards Chao Bufan with a gust of wind that swept away fallen leaves like autumn leaves.

Chao Bufan hadn't expected Su Haijun to attack so suddenly. Seeing the massive aura of death rushing towards him in the blink of an eye, he quickly took two steps back, shook his hands, and the divine bone in his hands immediately shone brightly as he met the attack.

In an instant, the black cold light and the white light collided between the two. With a loud "bang", both Chao Bufan and Su Haijun shuddered, but immediately regained their footing. The witch's staff and the divine bone were also frozen in mid-air.

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, obscuring the sun and moon. An invisible wave of heat, with overwhelming force, surged outwards from the two of them, tearing away everything in its path, uprooting trees and leaving a scene of utter devastation.

This is a true clash of masters, where every move they make carries the power to destroy mountains and stop rivers!

The two treasures remained locked in a stalemate for only a moment, neither gaining the upper hand, before being simultaneously withdrawn. Su Haijun, his face solemn, muttered incantations as if reciting some ancient spell, then shouted, "Hurry!"

Suddenly, his staff shot into the air and, moments later, with lightning speed, struck down directly above Chao Bufan's head.

Before the staff even touched the ground, a strong wind arose around Chao Bufan, but he remained calm and showed no intention of retreating. He grabbed the divine bone that had flown back to him with his right hand and pulled it above his head. Instantly, a white light, like gauze, wove a dazzling barrier above his head. In the blink of an eye, amidst Su Haijun's solemn expression, the staff struck the white light again with a clang. The white light trembled violently, but remained unharmed.

Su Haijun's staff struck in vain and bent upwards. Chao Bufan's lips curled up. Without pausing, the divine bone flashed, and with a muffled shout, he swung his right hand. The divine bone transformed into a giant club, which swept through the air with a "whoosh" and struck heavily towards Su Haijun's head.

Su Haijun frowned, his face solemn. In that instant, his staff flew back into his hand. He had no time to think. He gritted his teeth, gripped the staff tightly with his right hand, and bent his left hand. Just as the giant club was about to strike his head, a loud bang was heard. Five or six giant rocks suddenly burst out of the ground in front of him and blocked his way.

With a deafening roar, the giant, white-glowing rod crashed heavily into the rock, sending dust billowing into the air.

Chao Bufan felt a violent tremor in his body. He never expected that Su Haijun would transform from an ordinary person into a true master who could rival him in just two months. It seemed that he had been too arrogant. Su Haijun's "Rock Defense Technique" was indeed indestructible and had actually caused his divine bone to rebound.

Before the dust had settled, Su Haijun's face was slightly pale, but he didn't stop. He let out a loud roar, leaped onto the huge rock, gripped the witch's staff with both hands, raised it above his head, the staff shone brightly, and then slashed down heavily at Chao Bufan with unstoppable force.

The sky and earth changed color, dark clouds rolled in, and deep within the clouds, thunder roared through the sky, lightning flashed, and torrential rain poured down.

Chao Bufan's expression changed as he felt the ground beneath his feet shaking violently. Suddenly, several loud noises rang out, and the ground where he stood cracked. With a series of booming sounds, countless huge and sharp rocks shot out from the ground, leaving Chao Bufan's original spot completely pierced.

At the same time, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared from the thick dust above the giant rock ahead, followed by a burst of brilliant light. Su Haijun appeared like a flying steed, his staff swirling with cold light, flying rapidly beside him. His face was solemn, his eyes shooting out a chilling glint. His hands formed a series of strange runes, then he pointed downwards. The staff suddenly stopped, then transformed into a venomous snake, piercing straight into the ground and drilling into the hard rock.

Chao Bufan's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he immediately floated backward. Sure enough, just as he left his spot, the venomous snake burst forth from the ground like a giant black dragon. The spot where Chao Bufan had just stood was instantly engulfed in dust and stones, leaving a large hole. Its ferocity was terrifying.
