y and prestige. Consequently, his influence and ability to command would be significantly diminished going forward.>That's why he could only choose the lesser of two evils, sacrificing his reputation..."How dare you! Put that down!"

The two people beside me just traded a punch, but they realized that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the yellow sparrow is watching. They hurriedly came back to finish the fight.

Two people, one with a fist and the other with a sword, charged towards the man in black who had arrived later.

These three people were all covered from head to toe, with only their eyes showing. Their purpose was exactly the same: to seize that ring.

And their strength was also basically equal, both being at the initial stage of Immortal Venerable. For a time, they fought back and forth, as lively and intense as fire.

Looking at the three people, Ye Bufan's mouth curled into a sly smile, then silently slipped away from the side.

"Oh no, he's running away!"

The first man in black who arrived spotted Ye Bufan leaving, and he let out a loud shout.

"Let's not fight over it, how about we split the fairy crystals inside the ring evenly"

According to his plan, he would first divide the forty-odd billion spirit crystals, and then go after Ye Bufan.

"Okay."

The other two had calmed down, knowing that their strengths were roughly equal, and none of them could take the ring alone. They agreed to the proposal.

Then I'll open the ring.

The hooded figure gestured, and the ring fell into his palm.

The other two didn't stop him, but instead moved forward and backward to flank him. If he tried to run away or keep the loot for himself, they would immediately attack.

The proposed black-cloaked man also knew he couldn't leave, so he didn't play any tricks. He swept his consciousness over the space and directly took out all the items inside.

"This..."

The three of them had greed etched on their faces, their eyes burning with desire, hoping for a large pile of immortal crystals to appear before them.

They all knew very well that this young man had tens of billions of mid-grade fairy crystals in his hand, even if they were split equally, each person could get over a billion.

When they saw the items inside, their expressions changed drastically, and their faces turned ashen.

There isn't even a few billion immortal crystals here, it's all just rubble and gravel.

Damn, that kid got us!

The three roared in unison and, as if by some unspoken agreement, chased after the direction Ye Bufan had fled.

They are the Immortal Venerable-level powerhouses sent by the Zhao family, Han family, and the Four Directions Sword Sect. Their purpose is twofold: to seize the treasure and then kill everyone.

For precaution, they didn't kill him directly but seized his storage ring, intending to capture the Immortal Crystal themselves and then completely erase Ye Bufan afterward.

I never expected this, after battling for so long the ring would contain just a pile of rubble and debris. It's like I was completely made a fool of.

The three of them were all Immortal Venerable-level powerhouses. When had they ever suffered such humiliation At this moment, each of them was furious, pushing their speed to the extreme.

Ye Bufan didn't use Jiutian, but instead relied on his physical strength to advance quickly.

But in the end, he was no match for the strength of a celestial venerable. The three soon caught up and surrounded him in a triangle.

The first black-clad expert gritted his teeth angrily: “Boy, you dare to deceive me!”

Ye Bufan shrugged his shoulders, an innocent look on his face.

"How could you say that, senior When have I ever lied to you I handed over the ring as soon as you asked me to. Didn't I do exactly what you wanted"

"Die!"

Seeing that the other party was still playing with him, the man in black was furious. At this moment, he didn't even bother to snatch the Immortal Crystals, and directly slapped him.

He has now changed his mind, to kill first and then take the treasure.

However, his power was also reserved, only ensuring Ye Bufan's death, the storage ring on his hand still had to be left behind.

But the Immortal Venerable is still the Immortal Venerable, their strength is simply too overwhelming.

This palm strike caused the surrounding space to tremble incessantly. The rocks around it were shattered into countless fragments, swirling everywhere.

The remaining two men in black stood beside him, they didn't make a move, but stared intently at the one who had attacked.

In their eyes, this little Da Luo Xian before them was not worth the effort of three people joining forces.

You just need to keep an eye on the person making the move, don't let them escape with the storage ring, it has to be split evenly between the three of us.

Ye Bufan stood there, as if struck dumb, motionless. A faint smile still lingered on his face.

Seeing him like this, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the black-robed Immortal Venerable, and his palm slapped over without any hesitation.

Just then, a figure flashed before his eyes, and another handsome young man appeared in front of him, shielding Ye Bufan behind him.

The black-robed Immortal Venerable was taken aback, clearly not expecting someone to suddenly jump out at this moment, but his hand showed no hesitation whatsoever.

According to his thinking, such a young man was simply incapable of stopping him for even a moment. Since he was looking for death, then kill him. Then, slay Ye Bufan and seize his storage ring.

It sounds wonderful, but at that moment, the young man punched out with a mighty force, unleashing a terrifying wave of demonic energy and a howling gale.

It was naturally Ye Tian who came out. After being summoned by Ye Bufan, he made his move without any reservation. In his eyes, anyone who dared to attack his elder brother was a capital offense.

With the power of a Heavenly Demon body combined with the strength of a mid-stage Immortal Venerable, the power of this punch is unimaginable.

Before the Inky Robed Immortal could figure out what was happening, a series of cracking and crunching sounds echoed in his ears.

He struck out with a palm, shattering the wind, and his entire arm was reduced to splinters. Immediately afterward, an unrivaled fist crashed into his chest with devastating force.

"Bang!"

After a muffled boom, the entire figure of the black-robed Immortal Venerable was shattered to pieces, leaving only an arm that fell to the ground.

This is Ye Bufan's order, people can be killed, but the ring must be kept, it contains treasures.

Then, a terrified soul appeared in mid-air, trying to flee, but Ye Tian wouldn't give it the chance.

Another punch swept across, the furious wind directly shredding the primordial spirit into fragments that filled the sky.

The remaining two men in black stood beside them. They had originally planned to wait and seize the storage ring, but they never expected this outcome.

Both of them widened their eyes in unison, this young man...where did he come from How could he be so powerful, and even a Dark Ghost Immortal

Let's go!

After all, it was an ancient monster that had lived for tens of thousands of years. After a brief pause, it immediately regained its composure.

Knowing they couldn't win in a one-on-one fight, they disregarded their status and charged forward, wielding their fairy swords on either side.

This time, they held nothing back. They unleashed their full power and used their trump cards.

Blades flashed, the sharp sword qi surged like a celestial river, its power awe-inspiring.

Ye Tian let out a cold snort, showing no fear whatsoever, and punched the person on his left.

Although he was unarmed, his punches were incredibly fierce, shattering the opponent's sword light like dry twigs and crumbling them to dust. With a single blow, he shattered their skull.

This time was even worse than before, his soul didn't even have a chance to escape. It directly turned into a cloud of blood mist along with his head.

One punch obliterating a celestial venerate-level expert is simply like slaughtering a chicken and a dog.

And at that very moment, another Immortal Venerable's sword pierced his heart.

It's a pity that the Demonic Celestial Body was so formidable, the sword tip only managed to tear through his clothes before being stopped from advancing any further.

"This..."

The man in black was shocked beyond measure. He hadn't expected the other party to not only possess powerful cultivation but also such a formidable physique.

Now that things have come to this, he didn't dare to fight anymore and immediately turned around and ran.
