Seeing that Yan Dezhao was still trying to fool people, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to stop talking nonsense. If he kept talking, he might end up being fooled by Yan Dezhao himself.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to use facts to refute them. And this so-called refutation of facts meant resorting to force!

"Kid, did you hear me? Get lost!" Yan Dezhao's apprentice shouted at Liu Xiaoyuan.

Liu Xiaoyuan stopped wasting words, reached out and grabbed the guy's right hand, pulled him to his side, and then slammed his knee into the guy's abdomen, instantly rendering him unable to fight.

When Yan Dezhao's apprentices saw that Liu Xiaoyuan dared to make the first move, they immediately erupted in anger. "Damn it, you dare to make the first move? Fine, we'll show you what's what!"

So these guys swung their fists and started punching Liu Xiaoyuan. To Liu Xiaoyuan, these guys were complete novices, utterly helpless.

So, very quickly, these guys were all knocked to the ground by Liu Xiaoyuan.

After being knocked to the ground, these guys looked at Liu Xiaoyuan in astonishment. They didn't understand why Liu Xiaoyuan was so powerful, dealing with them as easily as picking up trash.

At this moment, Yan Dezhao was trembling with fear as Liu Xiaoyuan approached him step by step.

Liu Xiaoyuan's footsteps sounded like the tolling of a death knell; it seemed that with each step forward, the hands of the death knell moved one step further.

"Master Yan, why are you so scared?" Liu Xiaoyuan walked up to Yan Dezhao and asked with a smile.

Yan Dezhao forced himself to remain calm and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just forcibly channeling my internal energy."

Damn it, this guy is still pretending and bluffing. Liu Xiaoyuan is really impressed with him; he's practically a master of deception.

"Oh, what kind of power are you using? Don't scare me!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, his face full of mockery towards Xiaoran.

However, Yan Dezhao acted as if he were blind, completely ignoring the smile on Liu Xiaoyuan's face, and said, "Kid, I'm using my peerless divine skill. Young man, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise once I use my peerless divine skill, you will regret it. At best, you will become a cripple, and at worst, you will die immediately!"

Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly, picked up Yan Dezhao, and said, "Yan Dezhao, you can fool others, but you're asking for death if you try to fool me. You're just a guy with only internal energy cultivation, yet you dare to act arrogantly in front of me. You're just asking for death."

When Yan Dezhao heard that Liu Xiaoyuan knew he was at the Dark Force realm, he was greatly surprised. Anyone who could know his cultivation level was either at the same level as him or at a higher level.

If they were at the same cultivation level, Yan Dezhao should have been able to tell Liu Xiaoyuan's cultivation level, but he couldn't. So there's only one answer: Liu Xiaoyuan's cultivation level is higher than his.

Although he knew that Liu Xiaoyuan was more capable than him, Yan Dezhao was truly frightened when he heard Liu Xiaoyuan's words.

Yan Dezhao certainly knew what realm lay beyond the hidden strength; it was the legendary Transformation Strength, a realm capable of injuring people from a distance—just thinking about it was terrifying.

"Are you a master of internal energy transformation?" Yan Dezhao asked, trembling.

Liu Xiaoyuan countered with a question: "What do you think?" After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan struck a stone to the side with his palm, and the stone shattered with a bang.

Upon witnessing this scene, not only Yan Dezhao was stunned, but even his disciples were completely dumbfounded. Damn, this was the legendary ability to injure people and objects from a distance!

Faced with such a powerful palm strike, Yan Dezhao was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Master, spare my life! Master, spare my life!"

Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "I can spare your life, but you have to tell me about all the lies you've committed over the years, or you can go see the King of Hell."

Yan Dezhao thought to himself, as long as I can save my life and stop deceiving people here, I can always deceive people elsewhere.

Therefore, Yan Dezhao did not hesitate to tell the story of how he had been swindling people all these years. When Yan Dezhao's apprentices heard his words, they all showed incredulous expressions because they did not believe that their master would be a swindler.

"No, Master, you're not a fraudster, you're a fraudster, aren't you?" Yan Dezhao's disciples didn't so much disbelieve that Yan Dezhao was a fraudster, but rather that they didn't believe they had been deceived.

They all consider themselves very intelligent, and as intelligent people, how could they be deceived by others? Therefore, they are unwilling to believe that they have been deceived.

Seeing the incredulous expressions on the faces of Yan Dezhao's disciples, Liu Xiaoyuan said to Yan Dezhao, "Speak loudly to your disciples, you are a big liar."

Although Yan Dezhao was extremely unwilling to do such a shameful thing, in order to save his own life, he still loudly proclaimed, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. I am a liar. All the things I said before about ascending to immortality and so on were lies."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Yan Dezhao's words. Their master had admitted that he was a fraud. This couldn't be true. How could they have been fooled? This couldn't be true at all.

“Master, this isn’t real, is it? Master, tell us this isn’t real!” Yan Dezhao’s disciples shouted at him.

Yan Dezhao looked at his disciples, who had been fooled to the point of near-brain damage. Although he was extremely reluctant to admit that he was a fraud, he had no choice but to say it now.

“Disciples, your master has indeed deceived you. Stop idolizing your master and just treat him as a legend,” Yan Dezhao said loudly.

Damn it, even at a time like this, you're still spouting pretentious nonsense and treating yourself like a legend. You're probably the legend among liars.

"Can't you speak properly? Do I have to teach you?" Liu Xiaoyuan threw Yan Dezhao to the ground and asked loudly.

When Yan Dezhao saw that Liu Xiaoyuan was angry, he immediately got up from the ground, knelt down in front of Liu Xiaoyuan and begged for mercy: "Master, I was wrong, Master, I was wrong."

"Since you're wrong, then tell your apprentices how you tricked them, hurry up!" Liu Xiaoyuan said impatiently.

Yan Dezhao had no choice but to tell them how he had deceived them. The disciples were devastated when they heard Yan Dezhao's words.

The shock of discovering that their respected mentor was a complete fraud was like coming home to find their wife in bed with the neighbor.

After Yan Dezhao finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Master, I've already told you, can you let me go now?"

Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I can let you go, but I have to cripple your martial arts so you won't lie to people again!"
