Chapter 2095 - 2095 2085 Chu Bei

2095: Chapter 2085: Chu Bei 2095: Chapter 2085: Chu Bei The man with the surname Wang couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at the sword in his hand, just now he was quite confident that he could disable Chu Bei in one fell swoop with that strike, but his sword tip seemed to have been deflected by something, slowing it down, which gave Chu Bei the room to counterattack.

The wooden stick in his hand was like some divine weapon, with blue True Qi flowing around its surface, and faint sounds of thunder rumbling intermittently.

Chu Bei’s hand was still trembling slightly, that last moment had been too perilous.

During the period of the All Heavens and Earth Ranking, all participants were allowed to fight, but taking lives was forbidden, so the man with the surname Wang disabling him was within the rules.

He was a loose cultivator, who would speak up for him?

For the major sects, it was his strength that they sought to ally with, if his abilities were gone, who would care about him?

Originally appearing flushed from intoxication, Chu Bei’s face now turned extremely cold.

He was now truly exerting his True Qi, the wooden stick in his hand conjured multiple afterimages in the air, and countless stick shadows bombarded the face of the man with the surname Wang.

A guard attempted to intervene and stop the enraged Chu Bei, but a flash of lightning sent him flying backwards, a new mark from the stick appearing on his face.

“Venomous Snake Sword.”

Wang Tian truly hadn’t anticipated that Chu Bei would be so formidable today, the impenetrable barrage of stick shadows left him no means to counterattack, and the roaring Thunderbolt around paralyzed his body with a jolt.

The weapon in his hand instantly split into several segments, the swirling blades weaving together a tight net that blocked all incoming stick shadows.

Chu Bei’s gaze became fierce, his right hand moving to the middle of the wooden stick, which despite its new length was now being used as a sword.

In just an instant, Wang Tian’s technique had been disassembled completely, the blade of the Venomous Snake Sword trembled in the flying shadows, and fell to the ground.

Chu Bei had initially wanted to claim Wang Tian’s life with that strike, but he hesitated; the Wang Family was a powerhouse, and as a loose cultivator, a lesson was tolerable, but killing would bring endless reprisals from the Wang Family.

“Scram.”

He coldly spat out the word, Chu Bei uncorked another flask tied at his waist, and started guzzling it down directly.

“Chu Bei, you wait for me.”

Wang Tian had to shout a threat before running away, but seeing Chu Bei’s demeanor, he merely swallowed his saliva and scurried off like a dog with its tail between its legs.

“Sigh.”

Chu Bei looked up to a certain part of the building and softly sighed; today he had unexpectedly owed someone a favor.

“Come out.”

Of course, the deviation of Wang Tian’s sword tip had been manipulated, however, Wang Tian only felt a numbness in his hand which he believed was his own failing.

But Chu Bei, with his sharp senses, knew that a small pebble had struck Wang Tian’s sword blade at that very moment.

Long Yan descended from the rooftop before Chu Bei, the stone just now had been his doing, but in a critical moment, he had acted to save Chu Bei’s life.

“Thanks are due to this friend.”

Chu Bei’s eyes held a complex expression.

He had been wandering the Immortal World for many years and today he nearly had a mishap.

“Don’t mention it.”

Long Yan nodded, he simply couldn’t stand Wang Tian’s behavior of attacking from behind, so he hadn’t restrained himself from intervening.

“I’m Chu Bei.

I’m deeply grateful for your assistance today, brother.

Should you ever need help in the future that I can provide, I will offer my full support.”

Chu Bei bowed to Long Yan, wanting to leave.

He was used to being on his own and momentarily found himself at a loss for the right words of gratitude, but having promised to assist Long Yan, he would do so no matter the difficulty.

“Hold on.”

Long Yan called out to Chu Bei, who was about to leave, feeling somewhat bored by himself and decided to find someone for company.

Looking at Chu Bei’s puzzled gaze, Long Yan slowly spoke.

“I happen to need Chu brother’s help with something.

I feel quite lonely by myself, so please accompany me.”

“Is that all?”

Chu Bei was somewhat surprised, as he was a loose cultivator renowned in several star domains.

The reason he had just had a conflict with Wang Tian was that Wang Tian wanted to use Chu Bei to make a name for himself, and this was the favor Long Yan asked of him.

He originally thought Long Yan wanted to invite him to join the sect Long Yan belonged to, but it turned out to be such a simple matter.

“Then Chu would be disrespectful if he declined.”

“Indeed.”

Having company on the road would make it less boring.

“Brother, are you also on your way to participate in the All Heavens and Earth Ranking?”

As the two walked side by side, Chu Bei looked at Long Yan’s profile and asked.

“Precisely, but the journey is somewhat boring, so I’ve troubled Brother Chu.”

“Not a problem.

May I know brother’s name?”

“Long Yan.”

Initially, Chu Bei didn’t think much of it.

In his view, although Long Yan had decent ability, he definitely wasn’t as cultivated as himself.

Currently, Chu Bei was a God King Level 7, and reaching such cultivation at a young age was indeed rare.

“What?”

The more Chu Bei thought about it, the more it didn’t seem right.

Long Yan, that name sounded so familiar.

Wasn’t this the Disciple of the Seven Stars Hall who repelled the Great Mountain Alliance Army and Heavenly Gate Sect alone some time ago?

His voice even rose a few notches unintentionally.

He thought the other party was interested in his reputation, but it turned out that the person beside him was the renowned Long Yan.

Speaking of Long Yan, his name was much more resonant than Chu Bei’s, having used two top forces as a stepping stone.

Unexpectedly, the famous Long Yan was only at the Fourth Rank God King.

Chu Bei couldn’t help but look at Long Yan with a resentful gaze.

He had obtained many astonishing martial skills and legacies to reach his position today, but Long Yan was truly abnormal; he couldn’t even imagine how Long Yan managed to defeat a Half-Step Divine Emperor.

Knowing that there was a world of difference between Half-Step Divine Emperor and God King, Chu Bei asked himself what he could accomplish if he were in that situation, and the answer was definite; of course, he couldn’t do it.

“Turned out to be the famous Brother Long, my apologies.”

“Just a nominal title.”

Long Yan was indifferent to such matters.

Fame and fortune meant nothing to him.

Even if he sought fame, it was only to bolster his standing before the Emperor Clan later on.

Seeing Long Yan’s indifferent manner, a wave of helplessness surged in Chu Bei’s heart.

The fame that was worthless in Long Yan’s eyes was something countless people in many star domains sought but could never obtain.

Although the role of reputation was minor, it was still a part of the elusive Immortal Path; who wouldn’t want to establish a grand reputation?

Yet, Long Yan was an exception.

The two gradually grew more familiar, and their conversations became more frequent; they talked about everything from cultivation to the Martial Path.

The originally long journey became interesting with company.

Though the weapons they cultivated were entirely different, their martial disciplines were largely similar.

At the same level, the total amount of True Qi was no longer an issue, and what mattered were personal skills and the restraint of martial skills.

For instance, if a Fourth Rank God King and a Fifth Rank God King fought, comparing True Qi, the Fourth Rank God King would surely lose, but if it was an actual battle and the skills and martial disciplines of the Fourth Rank God King were better than those of the Fifth Rank God King, then the Fifth Rank God King would undoubtedly lose.
