Chapter 2174: Between the Palms

e top ranked on the Heavenly Rankings before, their cultivation level would only reach the peak of the Profound God Realm.Below the stage, Chu Lingxi cried out in disbelief: "Half-step Refining Void R...Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Zhang He decided to give the other party a lesson.

The sword in his hand was quick and fierce, it should have pierced straight through his shoulder.

The result, however, was far beyond his expectations. The short sword, piercing into his shoulder, felt like stabbing against iron. Not only did it fail to pierce the skin, but not even a mark was left behind.

"This..."

Zhang He was startled. Although he knew Ye Bufan was a physical cultivator, his cultivation level was only at the initial stage. He was nothing to him.

To his utter disbelief, his full-powered strike failed to even scratch the opponent.

Could it be that the other party has already reached the peak of physical refinement How is that possible

By now, he had no time to care about anything else. Raising his short sword once more, he plunged it towards Ye Bufan's chest.

This time, he held nothing back, unleashing his full power. With his true energy surging, the short sword was capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

This blade struck deep in his chest, followed by a crack as the short sword snapped in two. Yet Ye Bufan remained unharmed.

"Uh..."

Zhang He was completely shocked. The other party didn't fight back, and he couldn't even hurt them. What was the point of continuing

"Shocked Looks like your experience in the world is a little lacking."

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, "Enough chopping, it's my turn!"

He spoke, then reached out and grabbed the opponent's neck, lifting them up like a sack of grain before throwing them to the ground. He then pointed at their pressure points, sealing them off.

Zhang He's face was filled with terror. As a powerful cultivator of the Dongxu realm, he felt utterly helpless before this opponent, like a little chick incapable of resistance.

“You…when did you become so strong”

A few days ago, he had personally presided over the newcomer ranking tournament. At that time, although Ye Bufan was very strong, he was still among the young people. Compared to such a powerful figure, he was completely out of his league.

He never expected that in just a few days, he would have no resistance at all in front of others.

Ye Bufan just smiled and ignored him, turning his head to the side. At this moment, Xiaoqing and Zhong Limi's battle had already begun.

Compared to Ma Yuanwu before, Zhong Limie is much smarter. Knowing he's no match for Zhang He, he doesn't confront head-on and keeps maneuvering to delay the fight, hoping that Zhang He can quickly subdue Ye Bufan.

Xiaoxing's power was simply too great. Even with all her efforts, she couldn't dodge everything and was eventually knocked backward by the force of the punch. She slammed into a large tree and slid to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Old man, you broke my game console, you're all going to hell with me."

Xiao Qing charged forward with murderous intent.

Zhongli glanced at Zhang He, who had been subdued, and a dejected smile appeared on his face.

I had already overestimated this young man and prepared as thoroughly as possible, but in the end, he still failed.

Knowing he was going to die, he closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

"Alright, don't kill him!"

Just then, a figure flashed from the bushes beside them, and Ye Bufan stopped Xia Qing.

Originally, he had guessed that a crisis was coming. After testing Ye Erlang's cultivation, the two switched identities.

He hid in the shadows, letting Ye Erlang stand in the open to draw enemy fire. This tactic proved effective.

"No, these damn things broke my game console, I have to kill them!"

Thinking of herself no longer being able to play the fun Tetris in the future, Xiaoqing was furious. She waved her fists and was about to attack.

"Here you go."

At the critical moment, Ye Bufan flipped his wrist and pulled out another game console as if by magic.

"Wow, it's a gaming console!"

Xiaoqing's eyes lit up immediately. She grabbed it with both hands, and all her anger vanished.

"Well, I'll let you off this time, old man."

After that, she happily ran to the side and started playing Tetris.

Finally, Ye Bufan calmed down the little girl's anger, and he felt secretly relieved.

Back then, because the storage ring had plenty of space, I simply emptied the entire supermarket. Looking back, it was still a necessary decision.

A game console worth only a few dozen dollars, in exchange for the life of a Void-Tier powerhouse... This deal is truly a steal.

Zhongli Mei, who was slumped on the ground, was utterly dumbfounded. He hadn't expected to be saved like this, and what shocked him even more was that there were two Ye Bufan in front of him.

"You... you... which one of you is real"

Not only was he, Zhang He beside him, completely stunned. The two people before their eyes looked exactly alike, with no discernible difference whatsoever.

"I am the real one, that is my puppet."

Ye Bufan stepped forward and sealed Zhong Limi's acupoints, then retracted Ye Erlang with his other hand.

“That…”

Zhongli Mian's face darkened to the extreme point. He had previously thought that he was deeply cunning and had sent Zhang He, this undercover agent, in advance.

I never expected that they were already prepared. I've been manipulated all along.

Zhang He's old face flushed the color of a liver, laughable that he had previously mocked others for lacking worldly experience. Now looking back, it was his own lack of experience that was laughable.

Both of them were also extremely shocked by Ye Bufan's strength. The previous one was a puppet, not to mention how lifelike it was, it was impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake.

Even this level of power is simply terrifying. What kind of person could create such a formidable puppet, one that surpasses even their own strength by a hundredfold

Ye Bufan ignored their emotions and said bluntly, “Now I give you two choices: either submit and become my servant, or die.”

He didn't kill Zhang He and Zhong Limi because he thought the two of them would be useful in the future.

First of all, the strength of Shui Mu University is still too weak. In case Lei Yun Zong sends someone to sneak attack, they would be too cautious in retaliation.

If a Void-Returning expert were to be stationed there, things would be much more stable.

Moreover, this trip to the Dashun Empire, although our people are powerful, they are ultimately too young.

Having a Grandmaster-level expert with you at all times can be quite useful sometimes.

"This…"

The two of them were obviously a little surprised and fell silent involuntarily.

They were all powerful and aloof cultivators before, suddenly they had to submit to a young man, there was still some hesitation in their hearts.

Ye Bufan frowned: "I don't have time to waste with you, make a decision quickly."

"I am willing to submit."

Zhang He took the lead in answering.

He is now separated from the imperial family of Daxing, alone and with no one to rely on. Aligning himself with a powerful individual is the best option.

But Zhongli Mian hesitated on the other side. As the Great Elder of Shenjian Mountain Villa, making this decision was quite difficult for him.

Zhang He advised: "Teacher Zhong, your journey in Shenjian Mountain Villa ends here. You will never achieve anything greater for the rest of your life."

Doctor Ye is gifted with extraordinary talent and abilities. He is a rare and exceptional alchemist. Perhaps this is our chance encounter, our destiny.

Don't hesitate any longer, make a decision quickly!

"Alright then, I choose to submit as well."

Zhongli Mei ultimately made the decision.moment, were already so frightened that their faces turned pale and they looked like they had lost their souls.They were previously very aggressive and came over to demand retribution, but in the blin...
