swordsmanship was already incredibly fast. However, this woman's swordsmanship surpassed his by a factor of ten. Her twin blades, Dragon and Phoenix, appeared before him in the blink of an eye.Ma Qing...Seeing that he had intimidated Ye Bufan, You Ping let out a triumphant laugh.

"In the world of cultivators, strength is paramount. The victor is a king and the vanquished a thief. There's no such thing as honorable or dishonorable in this realm."

I knew you were under my control now, obedient and submissive. If you dare to move again, I'll kill this woman immediately.

Ye Bufan suppressed the anger in his heart, his brain spinning rapidly, thinking of any way to break the current predicament.

No matter what, he couldn't just stand by and watch Hua Qiqi die. But facing a peak Immortal Emperor, his previous methods seemed useless.

What do you want

Out of options, I can only try to stall and see if there's a way out.

Youping said, "First, answer me a question, where is Chao Kuan, senior brother, now"

“He’s from your Lingxiao Sect. How would I know”

Ye Bufan shook his head, no matter what time it was, this kind of thing was still best to deny.

Youping frowned slightly, not quite sure if the other person was telling the truth.

However, he didn't care much either. Whether Chao Kuan was dead or alive, as long as he held Ye Bufan captive and brought him back to the sect, it would be a great achievement.

"Boy, I don't care if you've ever met Senior Brother Chao Kuan. Now, cripple your cultivation base, kneel before me and confess your crime, or I will kill her immediately."

As the Immortal Emperor peak of Lingxiao Sect, he had lived for so many years and was also a cunning old fox.

First, set the terms to the maximum and see how the other party responds, then slowly negotiate.

"No way, you're dreaming! I'd rather die than let Big Brother Ye agree to your terms!"

"Young Master Ye, then kill him, and avenge me."

Huo Qiqi saw the other party make such an excessive request and immediately lost control. She twisted her neck and rubbed it against the nearby sword blade.

In her mind, if she died, Ye Bufan would have no more scruples. Since he could kill Chao Kuan, he could also kill the despicable villain behind him.

It's a pity that I still underestimated You Ping's cunning. The other party has been very careful and has not relaxed at all, how could they possibly let her die by suicide

He merely extended his finger and lightly touched her acupoints, completely sealing them off. She was now utterly immobile.

"Little girl, you don't have the qualifications to commit suicide in front of this old man!"

You Ping smiled triumphantly and looked at Ye Bufan again, "See, kid This little girl is quite fond of you. Now it's your turn."

Is it you who dies or her who dies One of you two has to die.

This is actually highway robbery. According to his thinking, Ye Bufan couldn't possibly cripple himself. Only a fool would agree to such terms.

But no matter what, the treasures taken by the other party in the Dan King Competition are something he wants to get back. And that just-now knife is also good, he should take it as his own...

He was thinking about how to bargain, how to squeeze as much benefit as possible, while also keeping a close eye on Ye Bufan, afraid that the other party would suddenly attack and snatch the hostage from his hands.

He never expected that suddenly, a figure would appear behind him silently. Then, a golden ray instantly pierced through the back of his head.

"Um..."

You Ping didn't even react before being instantly slain. A wisp of his primordial spirit spilled out, but before he could see who was behind him, it was pulverized by a golden light.

The man behind retracted his golden sword and kicked out with his foot, sending the corpse flying over a hundred meters before it exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"This..."

Seeing that someone had saved Hua Qiqi, Ye Bufan was both surprised and delighted.

Happiness needless to say, someone helped break the deadlock, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of such a good solution myself.

I cannot agree to their terms, nor can I stand idly by and watch Hua Qiqi fade away before my eyes.

Now that You Ping is dead, all the trouble is over.

It was also extremely shocking, because the one who came to help was none other than Emperor Xuanji.

Only those who are skilled at controlling space can enter another's domain silently and strike from behind.

After the shock, Ye Bufan's heart felt a little more heavy. This old geezer's methods were truly elusive and unpredictable. He had to be more careful in the future.

The Profound Emperor killed You Ping. With a wave of his hand, powerful Qi swept Huazi Qizi to Ye Bufan's side.

"How do you like it Are you satisfied with this gift I gave you"

After rescuing Hua Qiqi, Ye Bufan's mood calmed down considerably.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were ragged and torn, with two bloody patches on her shoulders. It was clear that she had taken a beating during her fight with Yuwen Juan.

"Thanks!"

No matter what, the other party has helped him a lot, Ye Bufan still needs to be grateful.

But why would the Profound Extreme Emperor help him It left him feeling confused.

Turning back to look at Hua Qiqi beside him, he unsealed the restrictions on his body. "Are you alright"

"It's okay!"

Relieved that the danger had passed, Huā Qiqī felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment as she thought back to her actions. She lowered her gaze, staring at her own feet.

"What's going on Why was You Ping just chasing you"

"That's how it is..."

Hu Qiqi spoke, glancing at Xuanji Emperor Zun beside her. It was clear that there were some things she didn't want the other party to hear.

"Wait for me a moment, I need to take care of a few things first."

Ye Bufan's relationship with the Xuanji Emperor couldn't be considered good, but the other party took the initiative to come and help him.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. This old geezer hasn't left yet, he must have something to tell me.

But Ye Bufan didn't pay attention immediately, instead he cast several soundproof barriers one after another, even shielding the images.

With his current spiritual power, the barrier he sets up would be impossible for even an Immortal Emperor to penetrate easily.

"Come on, spill the beans. What happened Also, where's Xia Qingying "

Before, I had Xia Qingying and Hua Qiqi leave together. The situation was urgent just now, so I didn't have time to ask.

"I don't know either. We accidentally walked into a natural formation, although it wasn't too powerful and couldn't hold us, we got separated when we came out..."

Huo Qiqi began to tell the story. It turned out that after she broke up with Xia Qingying, she set off alone and stumbled into a small valley by chance.

I found a tree bearing moon-flower fairy fruit, with two ripe fruits on it.

As a celestial alchemist, she naturally knew this was a good thing. Even among the twelfth-grade fairy spirits grass, it was an extremely rare top grade.

Ye Bufan's expression changed when he heard this. He was very familiar with the Pengyue Xian Guo. It didn't have much effect on its own, but it had a very unique auxiliary effect.

Generally speaking, whether it's a Xian Dan or a spirit fruit, if they are continuously consumed, the efficacy will be greatly reduced. To put it in modern terms, it would be drug resistance.

Concentrating Fruit needs to be taken every two months to achieve the best results, which is also the reason.

If one had the Moonlit Fairy Fruit, things would be vastly different. This thing's greatest function is to assist in the efficacy of medicinal effects. There's no need for time intervals; continuous consumption can maintain the best effect, and it can also speed up the absorption rate of medicinal effects.

For xianren, this effect is both practical and effective. As such, even among the twelfth-order Xianling Grass, it is an extremely precious existence.

Originally, Ye Bufan held three Shenning Fruits in his hand but couldn't take them in time. Now that he heard about the Pengyue Immortal Fruit, his eyes lit up instantly.

I couldn't help but ask, "What then"rather kill an innocent than let a single suspect get away!""Got it, big brother. I'll go take care of it now."The Zhang brothers were both scoundrels. Zhang Hongwu got straight to his feet, leading s...
