Zhou Zhixiong's head rolled off, startling Yang Xuancheng.
"Guards! Guards!" Yang Xuancheng shouted and ran towards the room door.
Ye Bufan watched the direction Yang Xuancheng fled, not rushing to chase. For the Yang family, the best way to strike was to break them down one by one using what they were most proud of.
Under Ye Bufan's, Chu He's, and Chu Mengyao's deliberation, there were several allies in this "encirclement" of Yang Family enterprises. As the saying goes, when a wall is about to fall, everyone pushes. Wang Xinyan's Wang Group was the first to bear the brunt. The Lin family from the neighboring Tianhe City provided financial assistance to the Chu family. Initially, Chu He and Chu Mengyao had little confidence.
Just as everyone was agonizing, the young master of the Jin family, Jin Yucheng, suddenly contacted Chu Mengyao.
Under the joint efforts of the four parties, Yang's enterprises were surrounded. Of course, while the other families among the eight great families did not cooperate openly, they secretly made small moves for their own benefit.
The Yang family possessed neither the right time, nor the geographical advantage, nor the human support.
At this moment, at the end of the corridor, a figure appeared. It was Mr. Guo, whom Yang Xuancheng had just called to find Yang Weiguo.
"Young man, you shouldn't be here," Guo Gaoming said.
Ye Bufan looked at the other party, unconcerned, and retorted, "Wuzun?"
Guo Gaoming frowned. He hadn't expected that he couldn't see through Ye Bufan's strength.
"Where is the Wuzun behind you? Have him come out too," Guo Gaoming said. "It will save me the trouble of looking for him later."
"What Wuzun? I've always been alone," Ye Bufan spread his hands.
"Hmph! Still trying to be tough. I've seen the videos from the Dark Net. With your strength, it's impossible to kill so many high-level martial artist assassins. The only explanation is that there must be a Wuzun behind you."
Guo Gaoming then spoke to the air around him, saying, "Come out. There's no need to hide."
After waiting for a while, the air remained silent, with no one responding to Guo Gaoming.
"I told you, why don't you believe me?" Ye Bufan smiled helplessly.
"Mr. Guo, quickly, help me kill him. I'll pay you another five hundred million as a reward," Yang Xuancheng's voice came from behind. He was standing at the top of the stairs.
"Your life is too valuable," Guo Gaoming sneered. "Since the person behind you is unwilling to appear, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Dragon Claw Hand!"
Guo Gaoming formed his hands into claws and moved his feet, instantly appearing before Ye Bufan and striking at his vital points. However, the claw missed, and Ye Bufan had vanished from his original spot.
"Heh!" Ye Bufan appeared behind Guo Gaoming. Guo Haoming grabbed backward, performing a Monkey Scooping the Moon, aiming directly at Ye Bufan's crucial area.
Ye Bufan retreated. Guo Gaoming thought Ye Bufan intended to escape and shouted, "Trying to escape? No way!"
"Twin Dragons Reflecting the Moon!" Guo Haoming increased his speed. Ye Bufan formed a sword finger and pointed forward. The sword finger collided with Guo Gaoming's "Dragon Claws."
"Hmph—"
In an instant, Guo Gaoming flew backward, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Ye Bufan.
"My turn," Ye Bufan smiled slightly, leaving an afterimage in place. Several sword energies then attacked Guo Haoming.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"
The sound of air being torn apart rang in Guo Gaoming's ears. Guo Haoming was greatly alarmed: Such potent sword intent.
"Break!"
Ye Bufan's voice sounded again. He appeared directly in front of Guo Gaoming and lightly tapped the ground with his foot. The space around Guo Gaoming vibrated, and his qi barrier shattered instantly.
"Heh!" Guo Haoming reacted quickly, his claw-like hands turning into fists, and he punched towards Ye Bufan's sole.
But Guo Gaoming had miscalculated. His fist felt like it had struck something soft and could not exert force, yet this soft thing could exert force.
Ye Bufan's true qi enveloped Guo Gaoming's entire arm. The clothes and bracelet on Guo Gaoming's arm instantly turned into fragments.
"Retreat!" Guo Gaoming roared again, and his other hand hammered towards Ye Bufan's ankle. In an instant, his other hand was also enveloped by Ye Bufan's true qi.
Ye Bufan spread his hands and pressed downwards. A cracking sound came from both his arms.
In the next second, Guo Gaoming watched his own hands uncontrollably hang downwards, dangling in mid-air.
"My hands!" Guo Gaoming's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that the bones in both his hands were shattered!
Guo Gaoming looked at Ye Bufan like a monster, and in terror, he exclaimed, "You! Who exactly are you?"
"I am Ye Bufan," Ye Bufan narrowed his eyes and smiled, his killing intent boiling.
"It's my turn to make a move."
"Purple Void Sword Art!" Ye Bufan formed a sword seal. An invisible qi sword appeared above his head. As Ye Bufan swept his hand, the qi sword slashed down towards Guo Gaoming.
Guo Gaoming's eyes widened, and he exerted all his strength to dodge the sword.
But Ye Bufan had already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage. His spiritual power surged out. Guo Gaoming used all his might to struggle free from the comforting sensation.
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—"
Suddenly, countless black mosquitoes swarmed towards Ye Bufan from all directions.
Ye Bufan produced a ball of purple flame in his other hand and blasted a palm at these mosquitoes. The purple flame transformed into tiny purple light spots, merging with these black mosquitoes and igniting in the air with a "sizzle," forming small clusters of purple flames.
"You really are a cultivator!" a deep, sharp voice echoed.
Ye Bufan's spiritual power rapidly expanded, searching for the source of the sound. Guo Gaoming thus narrowly escaped and fled backwards.
Yang Xuancheng, seeing that the situation was dire, also fled upstairs, shouting as he ran, "Master, save us! Save our Yang family. Our Yang family will definitely serve you wholeheartedly."
"Sword Qi Rolling Dragon!" Ye Bufan roared. Sword intent surged, forming an invisible sword in his chest that shot towards Guo Gaoming.
A bat descended from the sky, forming a black true qi shield. That deep, sharp voice echoed again: "I will spare his life."
"I'm sorry, but I want his life."
Ye Bufan formed hand seals. The invisible sword suddenly flashed with purple light. True qi condensed on the invisible sword's body, finally transforming into a purple sword.
"Two Sleeves Green Snakes."
The purple sword split into two. With a gentle touch of the black shield, the bat instantly shattered. The two swords pierced into Guo Gaoming's body. Guo Gaoming's internal organs were destroyed, and he died.
"Presumptuous!" the voice roared.
Ye Bufan smiled faintly and vanished from his spot. Immediately after, a dark shadow appeared where Ye Bufan had been standing.
"Kid, you're courting death!" the dark shadow roared and vanished from its spot again...
