Suddenly, Zhu Bufan raised an eyebrow and said softly.

"What... scared? How could I be scared?" Zhu Bufan's words exploded like a drum in Zhu Wu's ears, causing Zhu Wu to suddenly come to his senses and forcefully deny being frightened.

Although Zhu Wu was born into a prestigious family, due to his unique status as Zhu Zichu's grandson and being a rare cultivation genius, he had progressed smoothly in Nanli City. Even his recent icefield training was arranged by Zhu Zichu with no harm and he even obtained a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, cleansing meridians and removing postnatal cultivation obstacles.

Now, confronted with Zhu Bufan's almost brutal methods, Zhu Wu finally hesitated psychologically.

"Why should I be scared? This waste only has a cultivation at the middle-late stage of the fifth rank, while I'm already at the peak of the ninth rank!" The pride cultivated over time allowed Zhu Wu to quickly suppress his inner fear, highlighting reasons in his mind why he needn't be afraid of Zhu Bufan.

Thinking of this, the dissipated aura of Zhu Wu gathered again. Facing Zhu Bufan, he shouted, "Hmph, how dare you! Steward Liang is a first rank servant. Punishments for first rank servants must be discussed by the family and decided by the elders. How can you harm him at will? Moreover, Steward Liang did nothing wrong!"

"Oh? He did nothing wrong?" Zhu Bufan squinted his eyes suddenly, lazily looking at Zhu Wu.

"Of course! That woman is just a lowest fourth rank servant and belongs to the Bixia Courtyard, free for me to beat and scold!" Zhu Wu said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Is that so?" Zhu Bufan sneered, "Funny how I say otherwise?"

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Wu burst into a crazed laughter as if he heard the funniest joke in the world, with Little Hong and two other youths beside him also laughing, soon the entire courtyard seemed to forget Zhu Bufan's previous actions, with most echoing low taunts and ridicule.

"You... You disagree? What makes you say such a thing?" Zhu Wu suddenly stopped the laughter, pointed at Zhu Bufan, and shouted harshly.

"With what?" Zhu Bufan's expression remained unchanged in the face of Zhu Wu's questioning, calm and composed with an innocent demeanor, "With what? With my fist..."

Zhu Bufan roared, then threw a punch straight toward Zhu Wu's abdomen.

Buzz~~

A muffled sound of breaking air.

A fist glowing with cold blue light swiftly aimed at Zhu Wu's abdomen.

Bang!

Zhu Wu was not to be outdone. It was always him scheming against others, never the other way around. Though Zhu Bufan seized the initiative, Zhu Wu wasn't much slower, thinking his peak ninth rank strength still wouldn't fear a mere fifth rank martial artist.

With a punch directly confronting Zhu Bufan's fist.

Zhu Wu's fist emitted a faint blue light like rippling water extending outward. Zhu Wu also cultivated a Water Element Cultivation Method called Green Wave Technique, which, like Cold Ice Technique, was one of the Zhu Family's renowned cultivation techniques.

The two martial artists cultivating Water Element methods collided fiercely.

Splatter...

The two fists met with a crisp crashing sound, as ripple-like waves quickly spread to both sides.

Bang!

Continuously, they clashed again, both retreating simultaneously with a chill in their hearts.

Such powerful strength!

Zhu Bufan was immediately surprised. Clearly, Zhu Wu also reached the peak of ninth rank in Inner Qi, only half a step away from crossing into Inner Qi Seventh Rank at any time.

Zhu Wu was equally shocked, feeling Zhu Bufan's aura was like the boundless sea, unfathomable and mysterious. He didn't expect his full force ninth rank peak Inner Qi punch to merely equal the opponent.

"Illusion, it must be an illusion, this boy only has fifth rank cultivation; I must be mistaken..."

"How can a former waste who couldn't condense Inner Strength be my match!" Zhu Wu's heart felt unwilling, shouting, "Come again!"

His whole Inner Qi gathered on his fists, feet exploded with astonishing force rushing towards Zhu Bufan, with his fist emitting powerful energy, looking extremely imposing!

"Afraid of you, not at all!"

Stimulated by Zhu Wu's previous violent punch, Zhu Bufan's competitive spirit arose, he suddenly saw blue light flash between his fists, as he aggressively struck out again, directly clashing with Zhu Wu's fists once more.

Bang!

The two blue Inner Qi clashed, entangled briefly then exploded between their fists, creating a muffled sound, both propelled backwards by the explosion, flipping twice in the air before landing heavily.

Only Zhu Bufan landed, retreated two steps, but steadied like roots were planted, securing his position. In contrast, Zhu Wu retreated seven or eight steps before finally stabilizing his figure. Both their arms trembled unnaturally, clearly this confrontation posed a threat to them.

"This is impossible..."

Zhu Wu's eyes widened as if he saw a ghost, blurting out without hesitation.

Looking at the straight-standing Zhu Bufan, his aura relatively stable, but his body was surrounded by a faint blue light, marking the peak of fifth rank Water Attribute Inner Qi.

"Fifth rank peak Inner Qi, no mistake... no mistake... really just fifth rank peak, but why... why..."

At this moment, Zhu Wu felt his mind failing to function. He was clearly a full rank higher in cultivation than his opponent; why was he at a disadvantage?

Stabilizing his figure, True Qi within circulated, and the consumed Inner Qi slowly began to recover.

"Relying on my robust ** strength, even using only fifth rank peak Inner Qi, could contend with a peak ninth rank martial artist!" Zhu Bufan thought.

"Nothing impossible!"

Watching Zhu Wu, shocked to the point his mouth couldn't close, Zhu Bufan sneered.

Seemingly stimulated by this remark from Zhu Bufan, Zhu Wu's expression slowly returned to normal, his aura also stabilized.

"Even if it's fifth rank peak, even if your physical strength is unparalleled, you will still die under my fist today, take this!"

Zhu Wu shouted, his violent Inner Qi gathered to the extreme, powerful energy swirled around his fists, appearing majestic, exploding his footsteps with astonishing force towards Zhu Bufan.

"Who's competing in brute force with you!"

Suddenly Zhu Bufan's foot exploded with power, kicking a rasp on the ground, the rasp shot out like a startled swan, straight and swift towards Zhu Wu, whom Zhu Bufan was charging at, with almost unavoidable speed!

"Despicable!"

Zhu Wu's pupils shrank, cursed under his breath, forcibly changing the trajectory of his swinging fist to cut towards the rapidly approaching rasp.

Buzz!

The rasp was knocked down.

But he lost the initiative, and Zhu Bufan's equally violent punch was already in front of him.

Smack!

The heavy punch carrying a faint blue light fiercely hit Zhu Wu's vital throat area!

Zhu Wu flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tracing a graceful arc in the air before heavily crashing to the ground, the arrow of blood sprayed from his mouth drawing a perfect semicircle in the air.

Instant kill!

One punch instant kill!
