Venerable Martial Emperor

The poisonous snake had locked onto Xu Feng. No matter where Xu Feng was, the snake's tail would always follow his shadow! Finally, the snake's tail rolled up, and Xu Feng was swept out among the many afterimages.    

    

An enormous force surrounded Xu Feng, causing him to feel as if his strength was about to explode. The poisonous snake did not stop. The snake's body continued to wrap around Xu Feng's body. It surrounded Xu Feng, and its mouth opened wide. Its sharp fangs dripped with saliva that seemed to be material. It was going to devour Xu Feng!    

    

"Ah!"    

    

Xu Feng roared out loudly. Naturally, he wasn't willing to surrender. The Yuan energy in his body continued to surge out. After the opening of his Dantian, the Yuan energy became stronger and more solid.    

    

At this moment, the muscles on Xu Feng's body had expanded. A kind of violent aesthetics appeared in everyone's seriousness. His muscles continued to expand and actually forcefully broke the snake body that coiled around his body. An endless stream of Yuan energy was leaking out just like that.    

    

Without the support of essence energy, the giant snake head also became wilted and withered. Following the shattering of the snake body, it continuously dissipated, turning into essence energy that dissipated in the air along with the wind.    

    

"Hu..."    

    

Xu Feng's body returned to the size of a normal person. That move just now... It was another way to use the Bloody Dragon to ascend to the heavens. Xu Feng had only found out about it not long ago. However, Xu Feng did not dare to use it for too long, because the burden on his body was too great. In just a moment, every part of his body began to ache. If this continued, he was afraid that he would have to lie in bed for a few more days after he had just fully recovered.    

    

"As expected, none of the people in the Hundred Battle Ranking are mediocre!"    

    

The fighting spirit in Xu Feng's eyes became stronger. This opponent was also a powerful person.    

    

At this moment, Zhao Loong wasn't feeling too good either. He had suffered the full force of the Flaming Palm. A trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth. The power of lightning was rolling in his body. Even though he had a strong cultivation base, he couldn't help but twitch.    

    

"Junior Brother Xu Feng is really strong!"    

    

Zhao Loong circulated his Yuan energy and completely neutralized the lightning energy in his body. He didn't hide his admiration for Xu Feng.    

    

Xu Feng smiled. He admired Zhao Loong even more in his heart. Looking at his bright eyes, Xu Feng knew that this wasn't his full strength. He had even exerted his full strength.    

    

"Hahaha, this is awesome! It's been a long time since I had such a satisfying battle!"    

    

After Zhao Loong burst into laughter, all the Yuan energy in his body dissipated. Not only Xu Feng, but also the surrounding students were confused. Even Zhou Tengfei frowned.    

    

"Junior Brother Xu Feng, I admit defeat!"    

    

Zhao Loong's bright voice spread across the entire Stairway to Heaven Square. Everyone could hear it clearly.    

    

"What?! Did I hear it correctly?"    

    

"My god! Zhao Loong was clearly suppressing Xu Feng, why did he admit defeat?"    

    

"This Xu Feng really picked up a big bargain for no reason."    

    

After everyone was stunned and confused, it was as if their nest had exploded. Everyone had different opinions, and they were bombarding Xu Feng. They thought that Xu Feng would definitely lose this time, but they had no choice but to turn back and see how Zhao Loong admitted defeat.    

    

There was a rule in Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy. Students would spar with each other. If one side admitted defeat, they could not attack again.    

    

Among the crowd, Lu Tianxing's eyes were filled with flames. He said fiercely, "Damn that Xu Feng. Why is he always so lucky every time? If Zhao Loong used all his strength, even if he couldn't kill him, I can make him lie on the bed for eight days!"    

    

Zhou Tengfei frowned and waved his folding fan. He seemed to be deep in thought.    

    

"This..."    

    

Xu Feng was also caught off guard by Zhao Loong's sudden surrender. Zhao Loong didn't seem like someone who would admit defeat easily, but he just... admitted defeat just like that?    

    

Zhao Loong did not care about the stunned looks on everyone's faces. He said loudly, "Junior Brother Xu Feng, I admit defeat. I don't know if what you said just now was true or not, drinking with me after the war?"    

    

Xu Feng smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed like Zhao Loong surrendered because he wanted to drink with him.    

    

"Of course. Senior Brother Zhao Loong is a straightforward man. Junior Brother Xu Feng is ashamed of his inferiority."    

    

Xu Feng withdrew his Yuan energy, laughed loudly, and stretched out his right hand towards Zhao Loong. Zhao Loong held Xu Feng's right hand tightly. He no longer had the arrogance and childishness of a duel. Instead, he only had the thirst of an alcoholic.    

    

He pulled Xu Feng and left the Stairway to Heaven Square under the strange gazes of the crowd.    

    

When they arrived at Zhao Loong's residence, Zhao Loong placed a bottle of high-quality wine in Xu Feng's hand. Xu Feng did not refuse it and drank it with his head raised.    

    

"Good wine!"    

    

Xu Feng was not good at drinking, but he knew the quality of the wine. As soon as the wine entered his mouth, a burning sensation filled his mouth. The fragrance of the wine lingered on his taste buds. The wine entered his throat and seeped into his spleen. It was like a clear spring, not strong liquor.    

    

"It's not a good wine. I'll just make do and drink it."    

    

Zhao Loong did not care and drank another mouthful.    

    

After Zhao Loong finished drinking, Xu Feng said the doubts in his heart, "I don't know why Senior Brother Zhao Loong admitted defeat. I know that I'm not a match for Senior Brother Zhao Loong in a real fight! “    

    

Zhao Loong smiled and looked at Xu Feng and said, "I'm just an ordinary wild crane, so I can only drink a cup of strong liquor. I have nothing else to ask for. Seeing that Junior Brother Xu Feng's strength is not bad, he agreed to drink with me. He then gave up the reputation of being fifty-ninth in the Hundred Battle Ranking. To be able to achieve his own good, and to find a bosom friend, it was a win-win situation. Why not?"    

    

Xu Feng did not say anything. Without saying anything, he drank another three mouthfuls of strong liquor to express his gratitude.    

    

"Hahaha... Junior Brother Xu Feng is also a forthright person!"    

    

Xu Feng's performance made Zhao Loong very happy. What could be more exciting than an alcoholic finding another drunkard?    

    

In fact, Xu Feng did not care about the ranking of the Hundred Battle Ranking. For him, however, Zhao Loong had already sold him a favor. He had no choice but to accept it. The fifty-ninth Hundred Battle Ranking and the top sixty were things that Violet Sun Martial Arts students could never hope to achieve in their entire lives. Who would have thought that this Wind and Rain would actually let him go so easily?    

    

"Junior Brother Xu Feng and I hit it off like old friends at first sight. Actually, when we really fought, I was only on par with Junior Brother Xu Feng. It is indeed a waste of talent for you to stay in the 79th place!"    

    

Zhao Loong looked at Xu Feng with a dark expression and continued speaking. His words contained a trace of conspiracy. "Furthermore, you have ranked in the top 60 of the Hundred Battle Ranking. Many people will think that you are not worthy of your name. I'm afraid that there will be even more people who will challenge you. At that time, I will hold the wine pot and watch you fight every day... "    

    

Xu Feng smiled bitterly. He never thought that this seemingly slovenly Senior Brother Zhao Loong would have such a mentality. That was why he was willing to admit defeat. If others knew about this, they might even have the urge to cough up blood.    

    

Xu Feng naturally had no fear in his heart. Only by experiencing countless battles could he become an unyielding warrior, defeat Zhou Tengfei, break through to the Martial Essence Stage, and walk out of the Profound Wind City.    

    

In his eyes, the Profound Wind City was just an overkill!    

    

Zhao Loong leaned on the stone chair and stopped talking. It was as if he was immersed in the world of wine, and his face was filled with an intoxicated expression.    

    

At this moment, Xu Feng finally noticed Zhao Loong's residence. This Zhao Loong did not care about his appearance. He looked very shabby, but the place he lived in was very clean.    

    

There was a small pond in the middle of the courtyard. The pond water was clear and the bottom could be seen. Fishes were swimming happily in the water. There were all kinds of flowers and plants growing around them. They were all competing with each other for beauty, attracting many colorful butterflies and bees to fly back and forth among the flowers. A faint fragrance of flowers spread throughout the entire courtyard.    

    

"Senior Brother Zhao Loong's life is really enviable. The flowers are all connected, and good wine is always accompanied. Isn't life like this fast?"    

    

Xu Feng said with a sigh. How could he not be envious of such a life? It was just that his parents' revenge had yet to be avenged, so he didn't dare to have even the slightest bit of it in his heart.    

    

"If Junior Brother Xu Feng is willing, you can come and hold the courtyard at any time, accompany me for a drink!"    

    

Zhao Loong combed his messy long hair, revealing his clear eyes. He looked at Xu Feng sincerely. He really wanted to make friends with Xu Feng. He had been lonely since he came to Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy.    

    

"Then Xu Feng will thank Senior Brother Zhao Loong first. However, senior brother will give me the fifty-ninth Hundred Battle Ranking. If anyone else challenges me, Senior Brother Zhao Loong must cheer for me!"    

    

After drinking the wine, Xu Feng started to talk more. He actually started to tease Zhao Loong.    

    

However, Zhao Loong was different. He could tell that Xu Feng was trying to win him over, so he immediately pulled his face down.    

    

"I welcome Junior Brother Xu Feng to drink with me, but Zhao Loong is used to being lazy, and he doesn't want to change his life."    

    

His words were equivalent to rejecting Xu Feng's suggestion. Xu Feng didn't get angry, and frankly told him about his current situation.    

    

"Senior Brother Zhao Loong might not know, but in Profound Wind City, both Lu and Zhou families are trying to kill me. In this Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy, there are still many students who want to get rid of me as soon as possible! I'm afraid that if I stay with Senior Brother Zhao Loong for a long period of time, they will harm him. "    

    

Zhao Loong laughed loudly. He never thought that Xu Feng wanted to win him over because of this reason. Immediately, he said, "Junior Brother Xu Feng, you don't have to worry about my situation. These people are here to cause trouble for me. I naturally have a way to deal with them. I have been cultivating in Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy for many years. Not everyone can do anything to me. "    

    

Xu Feng didn't say anything else. Zhao Loong actually didn't want to stand together with him. Forcefully recruiting him would only cause their friendship to deteriorate. Instead of doing this, he might as well spend some free time in his courtyard and have a big drink. There was also a person who knew each other.    

    

Xu Feng drank in Zhao Loong's courtyard until it was dark before he turned around and left. Although it was the first time they had met, they had gotten to know each other at first sight and had a good chat.    

    

Zhao Loong's wine was not bad, even though Xu Feng had a strong Yuan energy supporting him. At this moment, his head was shaking. He tried to use Yuan energy to dispel the alcohol. However, the alcohol smell had spread all over his limbs and bones. Yuan energy was useless.    

    

"This Zhao Loong is not simple!"    

    

This was the first time Xu Feng had such an idea. After a day of contact, Xu Feng had not seen through Zhao Loong's person.    

    

However, it was enough to know that he did not have any ill intentions towards him.
