he Jia Ding soldiers. There was no way he could silently take them all out.Zhang Hongwen, his face contorted with rage, roared: "I don't care! Anyone even remotely suspicious must be apprehended. Grab..."Who told you that hiding behind a woman is not being capable"

Ye Bufan curled his lips and said, "Being able to find a woman who is powerful enough and willingly protects you, that's what it means to have real ability."

"If you're so tough, find a woman to protect you. Can you do that"

"I..."

Xie Anbang was speechless after being confronted. He had tried every trick in the book to pursue his junior sister, Zuo Xiaqing, but ultimately failed.

If he were to find a woman who is both beautiful and capable, and willing to protect herself, using his toes to think, everyone would know that there's no such possibility.

But this fellow is unwilling to admit defeat face-to-face, so he can only give a cold snort and say, "My Xie An family are all dignified men, how could we possibly do something so shameful."

If that were really the case, I might as well drown myself in my own urine.

"Really Then, Sir Hero, tell me what just happened"

Ye Bufan looked at him with a playful smile and said, "Why did you run behind my woman Why don't you go out and charge ahead bravely Why don't you chop those ironclad lizards like slicing vegetables"

"I..."

Xie An was just used to showing off, and he blurted it out without thinking about what he had just done.

If it weren't for Hu Yaoyao's cultivation, he would have probably become Ironclad Lizard droppings by now.

Seeing that he wouldn't speak, Ye Bufan chuckled and said, "Do you mean to say, Xie Da Xia, that it's shameful for a man to be protected by his own woman, but not shameful to be protected by someone else"

"Or should I just piss myself right now, and let you drown"

Hu Yaya heard the conversation between the two clearly, and now she was laughing so hard that she couldn't catch her breath, her body trembling.

Xie An was completely aware that he had lost the respect of everyone, his old face now flushed a deep shade of red like liver.

"In the end, I could only grit my teeth and say: 'At least I fought against the Ironclad Lizard. Unlike you, you've been hiding in the back the whole time, not even daring to make a move.'"

"Thank you, Hero. If you continue to be so stubborn, when the Ironclad Lizard returns, I won't let my woman protect you anymore. Then we'll see how much courage you have left."

Xie An was still about to say something, but at that moment, a deafening roar came from afar, followed by the trembling of the earth.

Now everyone was startled, and they all stopped paying attention to Ye Bufan and the other person's bickering as they turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

With a thud, thud, thud, accompanied by a violent tremor, a massive head emerged from the bushes. It was an ironclad lizard of unimaginable size.

Compared to what they had encountered before, this one was unusually large.

Its body was over twenty meters long, with a massive head like a tank. Its entire size resembled a giant truck.

This guy could swallow a regular car if he opened his mouth, let alone all of us ordinary people.

Four legs were incredibly thick, each paw as large as a millstone. Every step it took caused the ground to tremble.

Seeing this, Xie Anbang swallowed hard with a terrified voice: "This is the sixth-order demon beast, Ironclad Lizard King!"

If he still had the courage to fight the Armored Lizard before, facing this behemoth, he could only tremble with fear. The overwhelming pressure made him lose even the courage to make a move.

Zuo Xiaqing's face was pale, her eyes filled with terror: "This guy is a sixth-order monster. How did he get here"

"Need I say more I just beat up the young one, now the old one has come to get revenge."

Ye Bufan's expression remained relaxed. After his cultivation of the Fire Tempering Art reached a small success, his combat strength was no less than that of a peak-level practitioner in the Refining Void Realm.

If one were to combine various techniques, even a fighter at the beginning of the merged stage would have a fighting chance.

This big guy looks fierce, but I could take him down in minutes if I had to.

"What should we do What can we do"

Xie Anbang, Zhou Qingchen and the others were completely panicked. They had already been reckless to come to this area in the first place.

Encountering a fifth-order monster, the Ironclad Lizard, was already beyond my capabilities, but I never expected another sixth-order behemoth to appear.

"What's there to be afraid of I have my woman here, right"

Ye Bufan smiled and patted Xie Anbang's shoulder, "Of course, if you all feel it's too embarrassing to hide behind a woman now, you can go out and have a match with him."

Even in death, we will admire your courage.

With the display of power Hu YaoYao just showed, Xie An's heart finally felt a little more at ease.

Faced with the Ironclad Lizard King, he no longer cared about face. He immediately shut his mouth and cowered in the corner, trembling.

At this moment, the Ironclad Lizard King had arrived before them, looking down upon the gathered crowd as if they were ants beneath its feet.

The nearly hundred armored lizards that had just fled behind it, also returned with renewed ferocity, their blood-red eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

"Little brother, you need to protect yourself later."

Even Hu Yaoyao, who had always been smiling, became serious. The large creature before her put immense pressure on her; in terms of strength, it was no weaker than herself.

After she finished speaking, she took a step forward and came directly in front of the Ironclad Lizard King.

"Woof woof…"

The Ironclad Lizard King roared again, a deafening bellow that shook the very earth. Raising his massive clawed foot, he brought it crashing down towards Hu YaoYao.

If this were any other time, Hu Yaya could adopt a hit-and-run tactic or simply leave. But now, there was no way out; once she evaded the pursuers behind her, they would be utterly unstoppable.

"Get out of here!"

Hu Yaoyao let out a furious shout, raising her fist and punching it out.

As a cultivator at the Xianxu realm, he could already mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. A punch transformed into a true qi giant hand in an instant, condensing into a fist to collide with the Ironclad Lizard King's claws.

Only a deafening boom echoed through the air, followed by a cloud of dust and debris. A powerful gust of wind swept outwards, pulverizing sand, rocks, and trees alike.

The Ironclad Lizard King let out a furious roar and retreated seven or eight steps. Hu Yaoyao did the same, with both human and beast ending in a draw.

The Ironclad Lizard was originally a fifth-order monster. Even after becoming the Ironclad Lizard King, although it could enter the threshold of the sixth order, it was only in its early stages. Compared to true sixth-order monsters, its strength was still inferior.

That's why its strength is comparable to Hu YaoYao's, and they are evenly matched.

Hu Yaoyao's advantage is that she has true qi and techniques, while the Iron Armored Lizard King possesses extremely powerful defense.

"Come again!"

Hu Yao Yao's wrist flicked, and a three-zhang long whip appeared in her palm. She lashed it down hard toward the Ironclad Lizard's head.

"Awoo..."

Taken by surprise, the Ironclad Lizard was struck head-on, but its flesh was incredibly tough, even stronger than steel and iron.

This not only failed to hurt it in the slightest, but instead enraged the beast.

Ye Bufan looked on calmly from behind, but it was a pity that Hu Yaoyao's weapon was a long whip. This thing belonged to one of the strange weapons, and it had a certain advantage against human races in battle.

Compared to this imposing sight before us, divine weapons seem far less practical.

If I gave her the dragon fang right now, she could certainly cleave this Ironclad Lizard King in two with a single blow.

But the Dragon Tooth is a great artifact, he wouldn't easily take it out. Otherwise, he would only invite greater trouble for himself. He might as well wait and make his own move later.

Hu Yaoyao and the Ironclad Lizard King fought back and forth, having a great time. However, their strengths were equal, and for a time, it was impossible to tell who was stronger.

"Woof woof…"

And just then, with a roar from the Ironclad Lizard King, the surrounding ironclad lizards surged forward, swarming towards Ye Bufan and his companions.as poisoned and became a cripple, which was common knowledge. So when he made his move just now, he didn't pay any attention to the old man beside him at all, but he ended up suffering a heavy loss.If...
