This world is truly miraculous. The Peach Blossom Secret Realm, one wonders how it was built. Those ancient great cultivators indeed had divine abilities, accomplishing so much within a single painting.
But Nangong Changhe is quite wicked, wanting to trap Ling Zhenfei in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm. Just think, if it weren't for Ling Zhenfei having the Dragon Tooth Dagger, he might not have made it out.
The traps within the Peach Blossom Secret Realm are numerous, the foremost being the Peach Blossom Fairy's beauty trap. If one harbors ill intentions toward the Peach Blossom Fairy, they will be drawn into an array, never to be found again.
Additionally, seeking clues might lead to being devoured by the river monsters. Even if one isn't eaten, a normal person likely won't make it across the river.
Then there's the trap of the Peach Blossom Fairy herself. Many see they can't escape and are captivated by the Peach Blossom Fairy's beauty, willingly choosing to spend their lifetime in the Secret Realm.
At that time, Ling Zhenfei wasn't sure of his resolve and hesitated. Surely any man would hesitate, but luckily Ling Zhenfei steadied himself and returned to the real world.
Ling Zhenfei took the painting off and put it into his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, then headed to the rooftop.
Ling Zhenfei knew the importance of the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, its value was beyond estimation. Master Nangong probably also planned to return for it later, but little did he know Ling Zhenfei would emerge first with a head start.
Ling Zhenfei moved swiftly, soon reaching the rooftop where Nangong Changhe and Number Two indeed were, currently engaged in a fight with two opponents.
Number Two was fighting two individuals. One of them was the Phoenix, the other a man. It seemed the Phoenix and this man had arrived just in time to block Master Nangong, otherwise, the two might have escaped.
The Phoenix's strength was only at the late stage of the Zhiyi state, no match for Number Two, but the other man's strength was rather decent.
Although Ling Zhenfei hadn't seen him before, he assumed this must be Hu, who accompanied the Phoenix.
Unexpectedly, they arrived just in time to hold off Master Nangong. Hu and Number Two's strengths were equal at the Dawen Initial Stage, but with a Phoenix added, Number Two was outmatched.
At this point, Number Two's defeat seemed certain. Hu and the Phoenix were pressing hard against Number Two, who was being forced back to the edge of the rooftop, looking like he might accidentally fall.
However, falling wouldn't matter, as a fall wouldn't necessarily be fatal to someone in the Dawen Realm.
It was at this moment that Number Two seemed cornered and suddenly leapt into the air, shouting at Hu and the Phoenix, "Don't push me too far! Now you'll see what the wrath of the Dawen Realm looks like."
After speaking, Number Two took a small bottle from his pocket, poured out an elixir, and ingested it.
Ling Zhenfei knew exactly what this guy was up to, exploiting the elixir to forcibly boost his strength.
He wasn't sure what kind of elixir Number Two was taking or how much it would enhance his strength.
Sure enough, after consuming the elixir, Number Two's Northern Spiritual Energy surged, rapidly increasing his strength from the Dawen Initial Stage to the Dawen middle stage, and it didn't stop there.
Ling Zhenfei realized this was bad; Phoenix and Hu were still waiting. If Number Two's strength continued to grow, he wouldn't be easily defeated.
Number Two appeared quite pleased with his burgeoning power, laughing heartily, "Ah, it feels good. Now, killing you is as easy as squashing an ant."
Number Two laughed joyfully, his increased power was indeed incredible and almost unbelievable.
Ling Zhenfei was surprised as well, wondering what kind of elixir could boost one's strength to such a degree.
Although unsure of the elixir's nature, Ling Zhenfei knew it had to come with significant side effects.
Yet Ling Zhenfei started to worry about the safety of the Phoenix and Hu. The strength of the Late Dawen Realm was formidable, and Ling Zhenfei wasn't certain if he could stop Number Two.
The Phoenix and Hu seemed to notice Number Two's formidable strength, taking him seriously.
At this moment, the spirit energy within Number Two began to surge frantically, absorbing rapidly as if being drawn by a force.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked, sensing the immense potency of the energy.
It's said that when a tsunami strikes, the sea dramatically pulls back, only to erupt with far greater force.
Number Two was like this now, with his energy reeling back to unleash in a mighty burst.
Ling Zhenfei had been considering a more covert approach, hoping to take Number Two down in a sneak attack. But now he realized that wasn't an option.
With this in mind, he gathered his spirit energy, charging towards Number Two.
Ling Zhenfei moved with incredible speed, launching a powerful Sky Piercing Finger at Number Two to disrupt his energy absorption.
It also served to alert Phoenix and Hu to coordinate with him.
The attack succeeded in halting Number Two's energy swell, catching his attention on Ling Zhenfei.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei, Number Two and Nangong Changhe were shocked; they hadn't expected Ling Zhenfei to emerge so quickly.
Ling Zhenfei hurled another Sky Piercing Finger at Number Two. Despite Number Two's formidable strength, he wasn't worried; he punched, scattering Ling Zhenfei's finger attack.
Ling Zhenfei had used the Sky Piercing Finger countless times in battle, and no one had ever blocked its energy before.
This time, Number Two managed it, demonstrating astonishing power, yet Ling Zhenfei wasn't fazed, closing in on him.
Before even reaching Number Two, Ling Zhenfei's punches landed, launching a Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists series against Number Two, who retaliated in kind.
Ling Zhenfei's strength would be classified as just past the middle stage of the Dawen Realm, whereas Number Two was in the Late Dawen Realm, several tiers apart, indicating a major power gap.
Ling Zhenfei was anxious, unsure if his fists could overcome Number Two, though his Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists exponentially enhanced in power.
Reaching the fourth punch, Number Two hesitated, surprised by Ling Zhenfei's unexpected strength.
"Kid, it seems you need a lesson."
"Tyrant Fist!"
