Chapter 422 Master Huangfu
Shi Ji's speed was so swift it was almost impossible to react. In the blink of an eye, she was approaching Wanyan Zheng like a ghost. Her fist glowed with a faint stone light. Though not dazzling, it held immense power. If this punch struck Wanyan Zheng, its force would undoubtedly be astonishing, likely inflicting severe damage.
However, just when Shi Ji's attack was about to hit Wanyan Zheng, Wanyan Zheng dodged to the side like a ghost and avoided the fatal blow with extremely agile movements.
Although Shi Ji's attack missed, she didn't panic at all. She simply turned around and attacked Wanyan Zheng with her weapon like a torrential rain. Each move was like thunder, with powerful force and fierce momentum, making it impossible for anyone to breathe.
At this moment, the battle had entered a white-hot stage. Shi Ji and Yue Wuqi coordinated their attacks, leaving Wanyan Zheng and Wen Jing no chance to breathe, seemingly determined to force them into a desperate situation.
Yet, faced with such a fierce attack, Wanyan Zheng and Wen Jing refused to retreat. Their tacit cooperation, like a telepathic connection, always enabled them to avert danger at crucial moments. Wanyan Zheng's agility and Wen Jing's varied moves complemented each other, skillfully neutralizing the fierce attacks of Shi Ji and the others time and again.
Sikong Ming, standing by and watching the battle, took it all in. He thought to himself that this wasn't a good way to go on. If the two sides continued to clash so fiercely, they would probably end up both sides suffering.
Thinking of this, Sikong Ming made a prompt decision and shouted loudly: "Stop!" His voice was like a huge bell, and it was particularly loud in this tense battlefield.
Upon hearing Sikong Ming's order, Shi Ji and Yue Wuqi immediately stopped their attack and quickly retreated to Sikong Ming's side. Although the battle had temporarily stopped, Shi Ji's eyes were still burning with the fire of battle, as if she was ready to rush into the battlefield again at any time to show down Wanyan Zheng.
Sikong Ming proposed a deal with Wanyan Zheng. Shi Ji stood quietly by, listening to Sikong Ming's words. Her expression did not change at all, but she was secretly calculating in her heart. Wanyan Zheng rejected Sikong Ming's deal. Shi Ji's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she still did not speak, just quietly waiting for Sikong Ming's next instruction.
In the end, Sikong Ming had no choice but to let Wanyan Zheng and his group leave. Shi Ji watched Wanyan Zheng's departing back, her eyes revealing a hint of unwillingness and confusion. She didn't know what secrets and strengths this young man possessed, but she knew that today's encounter was just the beginning, and that there would definitely be more intense confrontations between them in the future.

Li Xingyun's mind flashed through various scenes like a movie. These scenes were all about Shi Ji's battle scenes and the powerful strength she displayed. As these scenes flashed quickly, Li Xingyun had a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of Shi Ji's strength.
"System! Continue!" Li Xingyun felt the spiritual energy flowing into his body, and a strong sense of anticipation surged in his heart. He had a hunch that today might be the key moment for him to break through to the sixth level of the Transcendence Realm!
Shi Ji's shadow gradually grew blurry, eventually fading completely into nothingness. Simultaneously, the Painting Rivers and Lakes turntable began to spin rapidly. The countless figures on the turntable seemed to come alive, transforming into brilliant circles of light. These circles intertwined, making the entire turntable appear hazy and mysterious.
"Stop! Another Transcendent Realm!" Li Xingyun shouted excitedly, clenching his fists as if that would make the turntable obey his command. His heartbeat intensified, for he knew that the result of this turntable's rotation would directly determine whether he could obtain the inheritance of a top master capable of competing with Ye Qingcheng.
The turntable gradually slowed down and finally came to a stop. Li Xingyun stared at the turntable nervously. When he saw the shadow that finally stopped, his eyes widened and his face was filled with disbelief.
"It's him!" Li Xingyun cried out. This time, the figure on the turntable was no longer a woman, but a burly man. What surprised Li Xingyun even more was that he was very familiar with this man!
"Master Huangfu!" Li Xingyun's cry echoed in the empty space, as if it could penetrate the endless void and reach that unknown existence.
Perhaps it was God's will, or perhaps the system really heard Li Xingyun's deepest desire, and a miracle actually happened!
Li Xingyun's gaze was like being attracted by a magnet, and it fell closely on the gradually clearer figure.
Master Huangfu, this name lingered in Li Xingyun's mind, and he was full of curiosity and anticipation about this legendary figure.
When the shadowy figure fully emerged, Li Xingyun couldn't help but be surprised. Master Huangfu wasn't the traditional, sage-like elder he'd imagined, but a burly, well-built man.
His facial lines were as sharp as if they were cut by a knife or an axe, strong and resolute, revealing a rough and unrestrained temperament. Beneath his thick eyebrows, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if they could see through everything.
Master Huangfu wore a dark robe, exquisitely crafted and beautifully tailored, perfectly complementing his tall stature. He wore a black belt encrusted with gemstones that shimmered faintly. He wore a pair of knee-high black boots, which made his legs appear even longer and more powerful.
The overall dressing style is simple and elegant, without too much decoration, but the details show his majesty and temperament as a master of Yulong Fort.
In his hand, Master Huangfu held a pitch-black Zen staff, its head intricately carved with designs, while the shaft, etched with mysterious runes, emitted a faint glow. This staff was not only his weapon but also a symbol of his status, lending him an air of mystery and solemnity.
However, Li Xingyun also knew that Master Huangfu was more than he seemed. He possessed considerable strategic cunning and had orchestrated a series of plans and actions to aid Wanyan Long in his quest for the position of Lord of Yulong Fort.
For example, he once advised Wanyan Long to first conquer the areas beyond the Great Wall, accumulate strength and prestige, and then seize the position of fortress lord in one fell swoop. This far-sighted strategy shows the wisdom and means of Master Huangfu.
Furthermore, Master Huangfu was ruthless in the face of enemies or obstacles. He would unhesitatingly resort to various means, even at the expense of others, to achieve his goals. This ruthless side made Li Xingyun even more wary of him.
