Chapter Fourteen: In the Blink of an Eye

  Wang Zhong saw Bi Fan bow his head and stop speaking, knowing he was recovering his inner energy.

  "Sly little brat, trying to scare me off? Not that easy. Alright, I'll agree with you, let's all take a blood oath together." Wang Zhong gritted his teeth and agreed.

  Wang Zhong was a loose cultivator, but he valued his promises most. Once he said something, he would never go back on it.

  He's already regretting it a bit, just now he was suppressed by Bi Fan and didn't dare to make a move.

  "Alright! I, Bi Fan, swear on my blood that if I lose today's gamble, I am willing to become Wang Zhong's subordinate." Bi Fan bit his middle finger and swore to the heavens.

  Wang Zhong also made a vow, and Dongfang Qinglong hesitated for a moment before making a blood oath as well.

  Only Ye Gu Xuan was still hesitant, he originally believed in Bi Fan's strength, but Bi Fan had just gone through a great war, and Wang Zhong's reputation was far-reaching, not a vain name.

  Bai Futei ignored Ye Gu Xuan's stalling and didn't bother to respond.

  Wang Zhong sneered: "Northern Ming Sect's little kid, what's wrong? Afraid to make a blood oath? I'll kill you right now and then fight Bi Fang."

  Ye Gucang's face changed drastically, and in the end, he still made a blood oath.

  Whatever it takes, save your life first.

  "Alright! Everyone has sworn an oath in blood, now it's time to compete. Bifan, you said we're competing in strength, how are we going to do that?" Wang Zhong saw through Bifan's true abilities and knew he had the upper hand, so he pretended to be magnanimous.

  Bi Fan thought for a moment and said: "We'll both use our fingers to flick out a stone of the same size, and whoever's force is greater will win."

  Wang Zhong's expression changed slightly, and he said, "How can we determine whose power is greater?"

  "In front of us, about a hundred meters away, there is a giant tree that touches the sky. We all use stones to hit the big tree and see whose stone can be embedded deeper. This test not only tests strength but also tests skill, I believe you have no objection, right?" Bi Fan said.

  Wang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Alright! Let's do it this way."

  Wang Zhong himself was born with divine power and had a deep foundation in his cultivation. If he used his inner energy, he was confident of winning.

  Bi Fan saw Wang Zhong agree to this method of comparison, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

  Bi Fan will use his Finger of Godly Connection, combined with the power of the Carefree Immortal's finger, to grasp a great victory.

  The two men have chosen their stones and the contest is about to begin.

  Bi Fan and Wang Zhong stood one hundred meters away from the big tree. With their abilities, aiming was not a problem.

  "Wang Zhong, you first." Bi Fan made a gesture of invitation.

  Wang Zhong didn't hold back either, holding a stone in his hand and using three fingers at the same time to exert force, mobilizing all of his inner energy.

  "Bang!" The sound was very crisp.

  Only to see the stone turned into a stream of light, shooting rapidly towards the big tree.

  "Plop!" Another crisp sound, and the branches of the towering tree were all swaying.

  "What great finger strength!" Bi Fan exclaimed sincerely.

  Dongfang Canglong and Ye Gu Xuan both changed color, if Bi Fan lost, they would all become subordinates of Wang Zhong, this was unbearable for anyone.

  Wang Zhong felt that the stone had not sunk very deep and his face had a hint of color.

  "It's your turn." Wang Zhong said with a smile, but his smile was not very kind.

  Bi Fan pinched a stone between his fingers, secretly using all of his inner energy, and the technique of the Carefree Immortal Finger was executed.

  "Go!" Bi Fan also used his last bit of strength.

  The pebbles moved silently and swiftly, as fast as lightning, almost invisible to the naked eye.

  Bi Fan flicked out a pebble, his face relaxed, and didn't even bother to look.

  Wang Zhong's face changed dramatically, and just by looking at Shi Zi's speed, he felt that he had already lost.

  "Pffft!" The sound was very small, almost inaudible.

  Then there were two more "pops" sounds, and it turned out that Bi Fan's stone had actually pierced through the big tree and flew out, even shooting into another big tree behind it.

  "Haha!" Ye Guxuan burst out laughing: "Wang Zhong, you lost."

  Ye Gucuan was very excited and jumped up and down.

  Dongfang Canglong nodded at Bi Fan and also let out a breath of relief, earlier he was too tense to the point where he even forgot to breathe.

  Wang Zhongyi ran to the big tree with an unbelievable look on his face and looked carefully again.

  Bi Fan directly pierced through the big tree, and it was from the center of the trunk that he pierced through, he couldn't even pretend to be lazy.

  "Tell me, how did you do it?" Wang Zhong walked up to Bi Fan's side, staring into his eyes and asked.

  "Have you admitted defeat?"

  Wang Zhong's face turned pale, and he said, "I lost. From now on, I will be your loyal subordinate."

  "Alright! I'll tell you later how I won." Bi Fan said with a smile.

  He regained a powerful subordinate and his mood was very good.

  Anyway, a blood oath has been sworn, and I believe Wang Zhong will not dare to go back on his word.

  If Wang Zhong had malicious intentions towards Bi Fan, he would suffer from the backlash of the Blood Oath, and that wouldn't be a joke.

  With Wang Zhong settled, Bi Fan was in a great mood. Dongfang Xianyun and Ye Guchen were also extremely delighted as they no longer had to serve under Wang Zhong.

  Wang Zhong stared at Bi Fan and said, "You must have cheated, didn't you?"

  "Even if I cheated, can't you just admit defeat?" Bi Fan retorted.

  "I dare not." King Zhong was extremely depressed.

  "Alright, since we're all around the same age, let's just call each other brothers. Big Brother Wang Zhong." Bi Fan smiled and said.

  "Wang Zhongdao said: 'Young master, I dare not.'"

  "Don't call me young master anymore, just call me Old Brother Bi Fan from now on." Bi Fan said: "This is an order!"

  "Congratulations, Bi Fan brothers, on getting such a powerful assistant." Ye Gu Xuan said with cupped hands.

  "Thank you!" Bi Fan laughed and said.

  Bi Fan almost didn't hesitate, recovering a strong player with such great talent was much better than recovering the evil fire snake lion.

  Although the evil fire snake lion has a large evolutionary space and great potential, after all, it does not have human wisdom and is not as convenient for humans to do things.

  With Wang Zhong's current strength, as long as he had enough elixirs, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage would be extremely easy.

  Only Wang Zhong's face was gloomy and depressed, he felt that he had been cheated.

  "Wang Zhong, big brother, following me will absolutely not make you regret it, it's much better than cultivating alone." Bi Fan said: "I'll provide the elixirs needed for your cultivation, just focus on improving your skills. And I won't force you to join my sect, everything is up to you, except that you need to help me out a bit more often."

  Wang Zhongdao said: "Since I have already sworn a blood oath, I will naturally follow you closely. However, I definitely won't join the sect you're in. I don't like being restricted."

  "No problem." Bi Fan understood Wang Zhong's personality, so he quickly made him reluctantly accept the reality.

  Later, Bi Fan was confident in making Wang Zhong truly believe in himself and become his trusted assistant.

  Bai Fan himself didn't even realize it, but he was becoming more and more confident, his temperament gradually changing.

  Apart from Wang Zhong, Bi Fan, Dongfang Xianyun and Ye Xinglun were all heavily depleted and began to meditate and cultivate to recover their internal energy.

  The Abyssal Realm is fraught with peril and requires peak performance at all times.

  It took three hours for the three of them to fully recover.

  They set off again, and Xie Huo Shizi finally came out and joined the team.

  When Wang Zhong saw the evil fire snake lion, he was about to make a move, but was stopped by Bi Fan.

  "This is the recovered Demonic Hellfire Lion Snake, don't you dare touch it."

  Wang Zhong felt a lot more at ease after seeing the true strength of the Evil Fire Snake Lion. He was clear that even if he had started an intense battle with Bi Fan and the other two from the beginning, the sudden appearance of the Evil Fire Snake Lion would not have given him any advantage.

  "What a sinister move!" Wang Zhong secretly cursed Bi Fan in his heart.
