treasure""That's impressive," Shangguan Xiong said enviously, "really good stuff. It takes our Shangguan family several years to refine a corpse puppet, but you did it in the blink of an eye, and they..."Agreed, of course agreed. I have no reason to refuse such a reasonable charging method."

Ye Bufan answered very directly. Before Xia Houao could be happy, he continued, "I'll take your price at 2 billion yuan. Your disciple doesn't look very good, so I'll take 200 million yuan for him."

As for that useless grandson, 20 million will do. Adding it all up, it's a total of 2.22 billion.

Xiahou Ao's expression changed instantly, he didn't expect the other party to actually want to take his money back.

"Boy, do you dare to play me"

He instantly burst forth with a powerful killing intent. As the number one expert in Jiangbei, no one had ever dared to toy with him like this before.

"Master, I'm here to teach this kid a lesson."

After Ding Ziqian finished speaking, he leaped forward and struck Ye Bufan's face with a palm.

"Overreaching."

A sneer curled up the corner of Ye Bufan's mouth. With a flick of his wrist, the teacup in his palm flew out with a whoosh, slamming into Ding Zikuan's chest at the point between his nipples with a thud.

Ding Ziqian suddenly felt an immense force slam into his chest, like being struck by a giant hammer. His body flew backwards seven or eight meters, crashing against the wall behind him with a loud bang before collapsing to the ground.

What surprised him the most was that the teacup had actually sealed his acupuncture points, making it impossible for him to even move a finger.

Xiahou Ao was slightly taken aback. Although Ding Zichen's aptitude was somewhat mediocre, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of Xuan rank. Ordinary people were simply no match for him. He didn't expect that this young man in front of him would actually be able to fight him back with just a teacup.

But he didn't care too much, after all, what Ye Bufan had just shown was mainly his skill with hidden weapons.

Cultivation level seems only at the middle stage of the Xuan rank. No matter what, it's impossible to compare with my, a Grandmaster at the peak of the Xuan rank.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to have some skills."

Ye Bufan still sat on the sofa and smiled: "So you'd better pay obediently, or none of you will be able to leave."

"You're nowhere near ready to take my money."

Xiahou Ao finished speaking, his expression turned cold, and he raised his hand to slap Ye Bufan's chest.

Similarly, a palm strike was unleashed, but in stark contrast to Ding Zichen's earlier one. This palm strike was imbued with immense power, and the burst of true energy formed a formidable cyclone that swept through the surrounding furniture and decorations, sending them flying everywhere.

He truly lives up to his reputation as the top master in Jiangbei. His first move demonstrates incredible skill and power.

Seeing the master personally take action, Qu Lingfeng finally let out a sigh of relief. In his eyes, Ye Bufan was bound to lose.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

He couldn't have expected what happened next. Ye Bufan didn't seem to care at all, he simply stretched out his hand and with a loud crack, grabbed Xia Hou Ao's wrist. Then, a string of slaps followed, the sound of cracking flesh ringing through the air.

"Uh..."

Qu Lingfeng's eyes widened suddenly, almost popping out of his sockets.

He never dreamed he would be no match for Ye Bufan in a single move, his master was defeated by a teacup, and even the old tutor couldn't withstand a single attack from him.

This indicates that it's not a reflection of my own incompetence, but rather a testament to the opponent's immense strength. They have consistently concealed their true abilities.

With Ye Bufan's current cultivation level, if he wanted to kill him, it would be no different from killing an ant.

The most shocked was Xiahou Ao. His palm strike just now, seemingly casual, had actually utilized his full strength.

I originally thought I could easily defeat the other party, extort some money from them, and then kill them.

He never expected the other party to be so powerful, powerful to the point that he had no room to resist.

"What's going on Wasn't he only in his twenties How could he have already reached the peak of the Xuan rank"

Xiahou Ao was shocked to his core. If he knew that Ye Bufan had deliberately concealed his cultivation and hadn't displayed the strength of a Earth-ranked expert, he wouldn't know what to think.

Ye Bufan, having delivered enough blows, casually sealed Xia Houao's acupoints before kicking him to the ground.

He clapped his hands and said very unhappily, "Just pay the money directly, why did you have to get beaten up You're such a cheapskate."

Seeing the former esteemed master being beaten like a grandson, Qu Lingfeng turned to flee, but he discovered that his legs were paralyzed from fear, and he couldn't muster even a shred of strength. He wanted to leave but was unable to move.

"Don't make me kill you."

Ye Bufan glanced at Qu Lingfeng, his powerful aura almost scaring him out of his wits.

Qu Lingfeng hurriedly nodded and said, "No running away, I definitely won't."

The opponent was simply too powerful, so powerful that he couldn't even muster the courage to run away.

Ye Bufan came before Xia Houao, and patted his swollen cheek. “Old man, how is it Was that satisfying Should you pay up now”

"Boy, you dare to touch me Do you know who I am..."

Xiahou Ao originally wanted to say a few harsh words and scare the other party with the reputation of Kongtong School.

Before he could finish his words, Ye Bufan flipped his wrist and slapped him hard across the face.

(Continued on next page)

"Who are you Aren't you just a piece of trash from the Kongtong School You dare to scare me" Ye Bufan sneered, "Xue Canghai is your master uncle, right I even dared to beat him, what are you"

"Uh..."

Xiahou Ao was left speechless, though his eyes blazed with anger, he couldn't utter a word.

That's true. That person is ruthless enough to fight even Xue Canghai, so they clearly don't take the Kongtong School seriously and wouldn't be intimidated by his threats.

After a moment's pause, he said, "Well, boy, what do you want"

"It's not what I want, it's you who came to me looking for trouble," said Ye Bufan. "Didn't we just agree Hand over 2 billion yuan, and I'll spare your life."

"This..."

Xiahou Ao's expression froze. Although he did have 2 billion yuan, it was his entire savings, intended for the Kongtong School, how could he give it to someone else

"Kid, murder is illegal. You have so many businesses, I don't believe you dare kill me."

At this point, he can only tough it out. If he can get away with it, that would be best.

"You are right, murder is indeed illegal."

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, "But you forgot that I'm a doctor, and a very outstanding traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I have at least 100 ways to kill you without anyone being able to find out the problem. At most, it would just look like a heart attack."

"How about it Want to try"

At this point, the smile on his face vanished abruptly, and a powerful aura of killing intent emanated from him. It was clear that he wasn't joking.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment."

Xiahou Ao hurriedly stopped Ye Bufan.

He may be a bit of a Scrooge, but even with all the money in the world, you need to be alive to spend it. If it comes down to a choice, he'd choose his own life any day.

Ye Bufan's face lit up with a smile again, and the murderous intent vanished instantly.

"That's right, money can't buy life."

Xiahou Ao said, "I'm willing to pay, but isn't 2 billion a bit too much"

"Is that all You set the price yourself," Ye Bufan said. "I'm a man of principle. Since you set the rules, I'll follow them. Give me 10 billion yuan and I'll spare your life. If you don't have enough, I'll cut off your limbs."

"Uh..."

Xiahou Ao's heart ached at this moment. 2 billion Huaxia coins, that was all his savings. If he had known better, he would have taken less. He didn't expect to dig such a big hole for himself.

(The End)ical's gaze swept across King Qingye and Ye Bufan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.If looks could kill, the two of them would have died thousands of times over.Three hundred thousand troops were...
