chest.With a cracking sound, the punch landed with no less force than a yellow-ranked warrior's full strike. It smashed the middle-aged mage's sternum, causing it to collapse over a wide area, and a...The middle-aged man was utterly furious with Ye Bufan, wishing he could slap the other to death. But before he could make a move, a sharp sword glow suddenly appeared before him.

"What impressive swordsmanship!"

As a powerful celestial emperor, he immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this sword strike and his pupils shrank in alarm.

Just as he was about to resist, a sudden, overwhelming pressure bound him.

“This is the domain of the Immortal Emperor!”

The middle-aged man was taken aback. He hadn't originally paid any attention to these people, thinking that the strongest among them was at most a celestial venerator.

Unexpectedly, a celestial emperor appeared, his strength overwhelming and his domain extremely unique. He launched an attack against me silently and without warning.

Generally, an Immortal Emperor's domain has movement and its own attributes, but now he has been restrained and only feels it. He doesn't even have the chance to unleash his Immortal Emperor domain.

The strongman's strike was instantaneous. In that moment of shock, Xuanyuan Linglong's fairy sword had already reached his throat.

His realm, killing intent, and sword qi locked him down in three layers.

A middle-aged man could clearly feel that if he made even the slightest movement, the opponent's sword would pierce his neck.

So he stood there, meekly. The arrogance on his face had turned to fear, and he didn't dare move a muscle.

Ye Bufan strode over, looking at him with a chuckle.

"What did you just say We need to settle this, right"

"I..."

The middle-aged man's face turned uglier than a bitter gourd. In his heart, he felt that as long as he, the Immortal Emperor, made a move, there would be no suspense in taking down these people.

That's also why he was so arrogant and reckless before, venting his hatred and anger without restraint.

Now the situation has changed, in the blink of an eye he became a prisoner under someone else's control. The chill emanating from the sword in Xuanyuan Linglong's hand made him shiver from head to toe, where there was still any previous thoughts

"Young Master Ye, actually I was just joking, truly just kidding!"

After cultivating for so many years, he finally reached the level of an Immortal Emperor. No matter what, he didn't want to die, so he could only bow his head and admit defeat.

A playful smile appeared on Ye Bufan's face. "So you were just joking with me"

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I was just kidding. After all, we've known each other for a long time!"

"You can joke around, but I'm serious. We do need to settle what we owe each other."

Ye Bufan's eyes instantly turned cold, "You tampered with the materials for Huo Zun Dan and then brazenly went to scam people."

Later, he took out materials for a 12th-grade elixir and went to test an 11th-grade alchemist.

Both things were very disgraceful, but after failing, you even took your anger out on me. How do you expect me to settle this account

"I… I know I was wrong, I really do! Please, Young Master Ye, just forgive me this once."

Faced with the inevitable, the middle-aged man could only lower his head and plead for mercy, "As long as you spare me this once, my storage ring will serve as compensation."

"You're saying this It's mine now, how could it be your compensation"

As for his own captive, Ye Bufan certainly didn't show any mercy. He reached out and grabbed the other person's storage ring.

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish and send you on your way."

Ye Bufan didn't want to waste too many words with this guy either. He raised his hand and waved: "Kill him!"

Seeing that the other party was really going to kill him, the middle-aged man was terrified out of his wits.

"Wait a moment, Young Master Ye, as long as you let me go, I can tell you a great secret..."

Feeling the killing intent on Xuanyuan Linglong's fairy sword, the middle-aged man's voice began to tremble.

Hearing that the other party had a secret, Ye Bufan didn't rush to make a move. He waved his hand and stopped Xuanyuan Linglong.

"So, tell me, what kind of secret is worth your life"

The middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead now covered in sweat.

"I can say it, but you have to promise not to kill me!"

Ye Bufan's expression turned cold: "Do you think you still have the qualifications to negotiate with me now I'll count to three, and if you speak, speak. If not, I'll kill you right now. Anyway, some things are irrelevant whether I know them or not!"

Three...two...one..."

A flash of killing intent crossed his eyes as he counted to the end, and he was about to let Xuanyuan Linglong make a move.

Anyway, I haven't been in the fairy world for long, so there aren't many secrets about myself.

The middle-aged man hurriedly cried out, "I'll say it, I'll say it! Someone is plotting to assassinate the Grand Alchemist!"

"Secret Master of Arithmetic"

"You sure you're not lying to me"

"No, no, I'm telling the truth."

The middle-aged man quickly said, "Sir, please don't be angry. I'm just being honest."

This time in the virtual market, I suffered a heavy loss, so I wanted to take revenge. The Great Dan Master is at the mid-stage of Xian Emperor, and I dare not provoke her. I just want to wait for her to leave and then attack you, taking back the Piao Miao Cloud Stone.

After I left Hangu Valley Immortal City, I quietly hid nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

After waiting for several days, I finally saw the Grandmaster leave alone. This made me extremely happy. Without her meddling, I can safely make my move against you all.

At this point, he swallowed hard, realizing just how terribly wrong he'd been. The other person was far more capable than he'd imagined.

Ye Bufan's voice was cold: "Then what Continue."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "But I'm still a little uneasy. I'm afraid the great alchemist might return, so I quietly followed her behind, wanting to make sure she really left Hanshan Immortal City."

Knowing the other party's strength, I kept a considerable distance and was extremely cautious.

And just then, a person suddenly appeared in front of me, quietly following behind the great master.

Ye Bufan said, "Who is that person, and how do you know they are going to attack the Grand Alchemist"

A middle-aged man said: "It was a man in a black robe, sneaking around behind us. He didn't look like he had any good intentions. I guess he might be trying to do harm to the Grand Master."

The distance was too great; I couldn't make out their features.

His strength was powerful, his aura not weaker than a Great Dan Master, at least the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor, even reaching the later stage.

I was far away and very careful. His attention was on the Grand Master, so he didn't see me.

"Even so, I wouldn't dare to get close."

Ye Bufan's face darkened. "Cut the crap, what happened later"

After that, I lost track of them. Both of them were stronger than me, and I didn't dare to follow them any further for fear of being discovered.

So I sneaked back and continued waiting for you here.

Although Ye Bufan hasn't spent much time with Hua Qiqi, he has a good feeling for this woman who always calls herself his teacher.

If you don't know, that's fine. Now that I've received the message, I can't just stand by and watch her get framed.

"Tell me, which way did they go"

A middle-aged man raised his hand, using the opportunity of his body's movement to suddenly break free from Xuan Yuan Linglong's control and grabbed towards Ye Bufan.

I've been talking so long just to create a chance for myself to survive.

In his heart, Xuanyuan Linglong who made the move was definitely the strongest, and this man should be the weakest one.

As long as you seize him, you'll be back in control. Not only will you save your life, but you'll also make a hefty profit.too late to dodge. He could only throw a punch with all his might towards the ice spear."Pff..."A muffled thud followed by a burst of blood.That icicle pierced Xiahou Ao's arm with such force that it...
