74: Chapter 74: The Battle of the Four Realms for the Strongest Martial Artists!

Zheng Dafeng stood up from the stool, his face covered in smiles.

He seemed to be walking toward Yang Simu with a big laugh, but in reality, his eyes were fixed on Wang Zhu and Xiao Bai behind Yang Simu.

Zheng Dafeng slapped Yang Simu on the shoulder and winked, laughing. "Brother Yang, it seems you've been doing quite well lately!"

"The last time you returned to town, you had a beautiful maid by your side, and now there are two!"

He squinted at Xiao Bai again and chuckled. "Brother Yang's taste seems to have improved a lot; you must have learned it all from my true teachings."

"By the way, seeing how haggard you look, you must have worked quite hard last night, eh?"

Although he had long known that nothing good ever came out of Zheng Dafeng's mouth, Yang Simu's face couldn't help but darken at this moment.

At the thought of what happened last night, Yang Simu felt a massive headache.

However, since everything that could happen had already happened, what else could he do?

Seeing Yang Simu's expression, which looked like he had just eaten filth, Zheng Dafeng couldn't help but say in surprise, "What, Brother Yang, did I actually guess correctly?"

"Even though you're young and full of vigor, you still need to watch your health!"

Yang Simu couldn't help but laugh and retort, "Brother Zheng, same to you. It can't be easy sitting here every day watching women pass by but never being able to touch them, right?"

Zheng Dafeng's face immediately fell.

He waved his hand and said, "Fine, fine, I'll count this as your win!"

"Wait until we've had some wine, then we'll clash again!"

After saying that, Brother Zheng pulled Yang Simu into the Dust Apothecary, while telling the two women in the shop to go buy some good wine and side dishes.

Yang Simu said he had a few jugs of good wine on him, so there was no need to buy wine, just some side dishes would do.

Xiao Bai followed behind Yang Simu with a sweet smile.

Wang Zhu's willow-like brows furrowed slightly, and only then did she follow them inside reluctantly.

She looked up at the sea of clouds above Old Dragon City, and her pupils instantly turned into golden vertical slits.

...

At the wine table.

Zheng Dafeng first tilted his head back to drink a cup of Hundred-Flower Brew, clicking his tongue in amazement. "You kid have really struck it rich; you actually have such good immortal wine?"

"I guarded the gate at Lizhu Blessed Land for decades and only ever drank the ordinary brew from the town."

"The wine in the town has its own unique flavor," Yang Simu said with a smile.

"Besides, this Hundred-Flower Brew was a gift from a like-minded friend I met on an immortal ferry; I don't have the money to buy it!"

Zheng Dafeng laughed again and said, "A few days ago, I learned some shocking news from the Landscape Intelligence reports, and I almost believed it."

"What news?" Yang Simu asked curiously.

Zheng Dafeng said excitedly, "Supposedly, a Sword Immortal from our Lizhu Blessed Land, leading two Nascent Souls and one Jade Purity, along with another woman comparable to half an Immortal Realm, challenged Zhengyang Mountain twice!"

"The intelligence said that the Zhengyang Mountain Mountain-Moving Ape that entered Lizhu Blessed Land last time had its head bitten off on the spot by a Nascent Soul Stage Water Dragon, and even its body was taken away!"

"Even more satisfying is that the Ancestral Hall of Zhengyang Mountain was sliced in half by that Sword Immortal with a single strike!"

"Tsk tsk, he's a damn Sword Immortal indeed!"

"However, that Sword Immortal's name is actually the same as yours. It's truly uncanny!"

"If I didn't see that you're only a fourth-realm martial artist now, I would have almost believed it!"

"As expected, one cannot fully trust the things in the Landscape Intelligence reports!"

As he listened, Yang Simu's gaze became increasingly strange.

He coughed twice and then said seriously, "Brother Zheng, is it possible that the Sword Immortal mentioned in the Landscape Intelligence is me?"

Zheng Dafeng's eyes widened, and he laughed. "You kid haven't even had a few cups, and you're already talking nonsense?"

Yang Simu felt somewhat helpless and did not intend to explain further.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bai, who was about to continue pouring wine for Zheng Dafeng, suddenly stopped her movements.

She said huffily, "The Sword Immortal who challenged Zhengyang Mountain twice is the Young Master!"

"If you don't believe it, then don't drink this wine!"

Although Xiao Bai could feel that the Fist Intent on the other man was thick, indicating he was at least an eighth-realm—Ascension Realm pure martial artist.

However, with the Young Master backing her, she wasn't afraid!

Zheng Dafeng was slightly taken aback, but naturally, he wasn't angry.

Are you kidding? Am I, your Brother Zheng, the kind of person who gets angry with women?

Especially beautiful women.

He couldn't help but look at Yang Simu, Xiao Bai, and Wang Zhu. He found that the expressions on their faces didn't seem faked.

Zheng Dafeng, a Far-Travel Realm martial artist, still had this much discernment.

He hadn't probed the auras of Wang Zhu and Xiao Bai before, but now that he did...

Good heavens, one was in the Nascent Soul Stage, and the other was at least in the Jade Purity Realm!

Zheng Dafeng's eyes widened in disbelief. "Brother Yang, that Sword Immortal couldn't really be you, could it?"

Yang Simu smiled and patted the two long swords on his back, his meaning clear.

Zheng Dafeng looked as if he had seen the Ghost King of Fengdu in broad daylight. He started cursing and lost all interest in drinking; he insisted on dragging Yang Simu out to practice boxing.

He said he wanted to test the youth's boxing techniques to see if he had slacked off lately.

But Zheng Dafeng's actual goal was naturally to give Yang Simu a beating to make himself feel a bit better.

Yang Simu was helpless and could only brace himself to accept.

After three punches, Yang Simu was grimacing in pain, feeling as if his bones were about to fall apart.

Zheng Dafeng laughed loudly, shouting "Satisfying, satisfying!" before sitting back down to drink.

Upon learning that Yang Simu intended to head to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, he said with a smile:

"I heard that in the Daduan Dynasty of the Central Divine Continent, there's a young martial artist named Cao Ci who is currently practicing his boxing at the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Like you, he's a fourth-realm martial artist."

"Cao Ci's Master is the National Master of the Daduan Dynasty, the number one martial artist in the four heavens—the Female Martial God, Pei Bei!"

"Have you not thought about snatching that title of 'Strongest Fourth Realm' from him?"

Yang Simu drained his cup in one gulp, his eyes burning with intensity; everything was understood without words.

The struggle for the strongest fourth realm of martial artists—he was determined to win it!

After eating and drinking his fill, Yang Simu was about to take a long nap when he was stopped by Wang Zhu, who said they were going somewhere.

Yang Simu looked at her in confusion.

"I'm going to the Fu Family," the girl said coldly.

Hearing this, Zheng Dafeng grinned and said, "Brother Yang, I should remind you that the Fu Family of Old Dragon City is more than just the current City Lord's family."

"The wealth of the Fu Family is simply staggering!"

"The three Semi-Immortal Weapons of Old Dragon City were all bought by the Fu Family from the Central Divine Continent!"

"It's said that the current head of the Fu Family, Patriarch Fu, just bought another Semi-Immortal Weapon from the Central Divine Continent!"

"I remember that back in Lizhu Blessed Land, you had quite a grudge with the Young City Lord of Old Dragon City, Fu Nanhua."

"If you go to the Fu Family, you'd better be careful."

Yang Simu's lips curled slightly.

Years ago, as the last True Dragon in the world, Wang Zhu had come ashore at the southern tip of Baoping Continent and passed through Old Dragon City before continuing her flight north.

That underground Dragon Path, which was later used by immortal Cultivators as a ferry route, was created by Wang Zhu.

One could say that the entire Old Dragon City was Wang Zhu's backyard!

To put it nicely, the Fu Family were her servants.

To put it bluntly, the entire Fu Family were Wang Zhu's slaves!
