surviving mainly in traditional Chinese medicine. Even the remaining medical skills are down by half. This ailment is simply beyond my capabilities."Liu Mingyang urged, "Cao Lao, you are a master in..."Can you run if you want to"

Long Teng was furious. He never expected that the encirclement laid by his nine men would be broken through by the enemy.

He instantly shot into the air, his Holy Dragon domain erupting suddenly, an overwhelming pressure sweeping out in all directions.

At the same time, it revealed its true form, a gigantic dragon claw swiping down from the sky.

"Damn it!"

Under immense pressure, Ye Bufan's speed was greatly hampered and slowed down instantly.

Faced with the strike of a fifth-rank Saint Dragon, he dared not take it head-on. In a hurry, he controlled space and once again pushed his speed to the extreme, shifting horizontally left by over a hundred meters.

With a deafening roar, the dragon swiped its claw through the air.

While he was thus preoccupied, the remaining eight fourth-grade Holy Dragons seized the opportunity and surrounded him, each revealing their true form and encircling Ye Bufan in the middle.

"You vile human, die!"

Long Jia was just now ambushed and toyed with by Ye Bufan, at this moment without mercy he opened his blood-filled maw and swallowed him whole.

Ye Bufan hurried to climb rapidly, soaring hundreds of feet, dodging the blood basin's gaping maw, and then punched its head with a fist.

Now, man and dragon were evenly matched. After a fierce clash, they both backed away. But before Ye Bufan could recover, Long Zen struck from behind with a vicious claw.

There was no time to dodge, and Ye Bufan could only punch out, meeting the claw head-on.

He was caught completely off guard and couldn't withstand the true form of the fourth-rank Holy Dragon at all. He was sent flying like a ball.

To make matters worse, he was completely surrounded by eight fourth-rank Saint Dragons at this moment. Before he could fly far, a massive dragon tail lashed against his back with tremendous force.

"Uh!"

The full-strength blow of the fourth-rank Holy Dragon was earth-shattering, its power astonishing. Ye Bufan felt his body tremble violently.

Fortunately, the Indestructible Golden Body Realm has now reached its peak and barely withstood this attack.

These guys are way too powerful. Ye Bufan still wanted to investigate what was up north, but now it seems like that wish is unrealistic.

The eight fourth-rank Saint Dragons before me are already beyond my reach, let alone the fifth-rank Saint Dragon eyeing me hungrily from the side.

It seems like I can't win this fight, so I guess I'll have to call it quits for today.

He had just made this decision when the thunder-attribute dragon opened its mouth and spat out a golden thunderbolt, smashing it down hard towards his head.

"Well, I might as well use this as an excuse to leave."

Ye Bufan thought this was a good opportunity. He gave up using the Indestructible Golden Body Realm to resist, and when the golden lightning power engulfed him, he directly dissipated his physical body and retreated from the forbidden zone.

Eight Four-Rank Sacred Dragons spread their wings and claws in mid-air, each waiting to strike. But when the thunder dissipated, they found their opponent had completely vanished.

"That..."

Eight Fourth-Rank Holy Dragons and the dragon, Teng, transformed back into human form and landed on the ground.

Long Jia glanced at the fourth-rank Thunder Attribute Saint Dragon, somewhat dissatisfied: "Old Lei, you were too heavy-handed. You didn't even figure out who that kid was before striking him down like that."

Leilong was a little embarrassed: "I... I didn't expect that kid to be so easily defeated..."

Long Teng said coldly: "You really think that kid is dead He's just a clone!"

Not surprisingly, as a Level 5 Sacred Dragon, its senses are far more acute than those of any other Level 4 creatures.

Although Ye Bufan dissipated his physical form with the power of thunder, he had been observing from the side and didn't feel any bloody sensation of a fleshly body breaking.

Long Jia's face was stunned: "So that kid ran away"

"Words are useless. Go report to the Dragon Emperor truthfully."

Long Teng finished speaking and, leading the others, left the forbidden zone, heading for the Dragon Emperor's palace.

Ye Bufan lay on the bed, his body shattered, which filled him with regret.

This forbidden zone expedition wasn't successful, we didn't have many gains, and now I'm unsure if Xiao Ye and the others are even there.

What puzzled him even more was what exactly was hidden north of the restricted area Why was there such a terrifying aura emanating from it

It's a pity that I went as a body, and the distance was far. My perception was far inferior to my true form, so I couldn't figure out what was going on over there at all

What should I do What's my next step Should I give up, or make another trip to the forbidden zone

The most crucial point is that we cannot confirm the information about Xiaoye and others. If he had summoned Xuanyuan Linglong and Lu Banxia just now, relying on his hand, he could have completely dealt with Long Teng and the others.

> That way, it would be a complete exposure. If successful, fine, but if we fail, we'll face enormous trouble afterward.

If you don't use your full strength, relying solely on your physical prowess won't be enough to break through their defenses.

Just as he was hesitating whether to let Dao Shen go to the restricted area again, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door.

"It's the Dragon Emperor!"

Ye Bufan's heart tightened. Could it be that he had already been exposed But thinking about it, it was impossible.

Although I have made two trips out, I haven't left the palace grounds. How did they see through me

But no matter what, this situation had to be addressed. He left the room and came out into the courtyard.

As soon as I stepped out, I felt immense pressure. Above me, the Dragon Emperor looked down with a solemn expression, and our palace was completely surrounded.

The three Dragon Kings, Long Teng, Long Yan, and Long Che, along with numerous other Saint Dragons, both big and small, numbered in the hundreds, surrounding them completely.

At this moment, the entire palace was in utter chaos. The servants and family members within were all panicked and bewildered, completely clueless about what had transpired.

Xiaoqing had already stood in the courtyard. Seeing him, he immediately walked over and stood behind her.

Ye Bufan felt heavy-hearted, knowing he was most likely exposed, but couldn't admit it until the very end.

"See the Dragon Empress."

He bowed his head in respect toward the empty air, then asked with a puzzled expression on his face, "Dragon Emperor, I just heard that the boy surnamed Ye was here. Could it be that you have found his whereabouts"

Long Huang looked at him with a cold expression: "Ye, you're going to keep pretending in front of me for how long"

Ye Bufan pretended to be confused and panicked, "Lord Dragon Emperor, what do you mean I'm Long Geng. What does it have to do with someone surnamed Ye"

Everyone around looked surprised, wondering what was going on.

Long Yan said directly: "Dragon Emperor, isn't there some misunderstanding"

The Dragon Emperor ignored him, instead coldly looking at Ye Bufan, "Aren't you curious, wondering where you slipped up Since that's the case, this emperor will tell you."

I have to say, your disguise is flawless, but the moment I saw you, something felt off. There's no reason, it's just a strong person's intuition.

But since there was no evidence, I had Long Li Fei test the waters. As a result, after two attempts to initiate intimacy, you refused both times. Don't you think this is suspicious

Ye Bufan hurriedly said, "Dragon Emperor, this is all a misunderstanding. This old man has just experienced the pain of losing his child, and it's normal that he wouldn't have any interest in this."

"Don't worry, this is only the first reason, there's a second one."

"The Dragon Empress continued, "I told Qing He to find an opportunity to test Qing Can's strength. What do you think In the past, she was never Qing He's match, but in such a short time, she has made astonishing progress, leaving him utterly defeated. How can we explain this"ed by their own hands.Feng Ru Song and the others were also speechless, with no words to express their bitterness.According to their idea, they were going to send Ye Bufan to his death. Who knew that...
