The young monk was not afraid of Zhao Deyan at all, and shouted, "Come here, let's see if you beat me until I shit myself, or if I beat you until you shit yourself."

"You little brat, still so arrogant? I'll beat the crap out of you!"

Zhao Deyan unleashed the pressure of the early stage of the Heavenly Realm Nine Heavens, forcefully attacking the young monk.

Hou Xibai seized the opportunity to attack from behind and launch a sneak attack on Zhao Deyan.

Zhao Deyan sensed someone was behind him and immediately changed tactics, unleashing a move called "Reversed Heavenly Gang".

Bang!

The fist struck the young monk in front, but it was Hou Xibai behind him who was injured.

Hou Xibai was sent flying more than ten feet away, his chest wracked with excruciating pain.

With difficulty, he raised his head and asked the young monk, "How...how are you feeling?"

The young monk touched his chest and honestly said, "I'm fine, I feel quite comfortable."

"Really? So the damage from hitting you is transferred to me."

Hou Xibai seemed to have figured it out, quickly got up, and rushed towards Zhao Deyan.

"Hey, old man, if you've got the guts, don't hit him, hit me instead. Come on, hit me hard."

"As you wish."

Zhao Deyan punched Hou Xibai in the chest.

Hou Xibai was knocked away again, kneeling on the ground in excruciating pain, with blood flowing from his nose.

With difficulty, he raised his head and said to the young monk, "Didn't you say you were feeling very comfortable?"

The young monk scratched his head, puzzled, and honestly replied, "It is very comfortable."

"Then why didn't the force of his attack transfer to you when he hit me?"

Hou Xibai was unwilling to give up, so he got up again and went over to Zhao Deyan, saying, "Old man, why don't you stop hitting me and keep hitting him instead?"

"Okay, let's hit him."

Zhao Deyan swung his fist and hit the young monk again.

The young monk was punched but was unharmed, while Hou Xibai was beaten until he vomited blood.

Hou Xibai felt utterly hopeless, slowly raising his head with a look of utter helplessness.

"Sigh, this isn't a solution either. Why don't you just hit me?"

"Fine, I'll hit you."

Zhao Deyan punched Hou Xibai in the stomach, sending Hou Xibai flying.

His body slammed heavily against the wall in the distance, and he slowly slid down the wall.

Hearing the sounds of fighting, Lin Bufan flew over from the meditation room.

Seeing Hou Xibai lying on the ground with his hair disheveled, he asked him, "What happened?"

Hou Xibai sat up and cried out in despair, "Life is unpredictable. Kill him quickly, I can't stand him anymore."

As they spoke, Zhao Deyan sent the young monk flying and charged towards Lin Bufan, asking, "So you're Lin Bufan?"

"And who are you?" Lin Bufan asked in return.

Zhao Deyan arrogantly declared, "I, Zhao Deyan, also serve as the National Preceptor of the Eastern Turks."

It's the Imperial Advisor again!

Lin Bufan thought to himself, "I've already killed two Imperial Advisors, so I don't care about one more."

You dare call yourself "This Commander"? Do you think you're Yuan Tiangang?

"Let me see what you're capable of."

"Then watch closely."

Zhao Deyan unleashed the oppressive aura of the Heavenly Realm Nine Heavens, arrogantly declaring, "In the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, even Martial Venerable Bi Xuan had to show me respect, let alone you."

"Such arrogance! Let's test the power of my Longevity Technique first."

Lin Bufan suddenly made a move, and the Longevity True Qi surged out from his palm, turning reddish-yellow.

Zhao Deyan arrogantly stepped forward and unleashed his signature move—the Eighteen Claws of Returning Soul.

The claws fiercely tore through the Longevity True Qi, striking Lin Bufan directly in the face.

Yuwen Huaji, You Chuhong, and Zhu Yuyan lay in ambush in the rear, watching the two sides fight from the sidelines.

"Empress Yin, in your opinion, can Lin Bufan defeat the Demon General?" Yuwen Huaji asked.

Zhu Yuyan retorted, "You should ask, can the Demon Commander defeat Lin Bufan?"

"Is Lin Bufan really that powerful? At most, he's at the same cultivation level as the Demon Commander, right?"

The last time Yuwen Huaji and Lin Bufan fought was outside a dilapidated temple outside Yangzhou City, where they fought over the ownership of the Longevity Manual.

At that time, Yuwen Huaji was at the peak of the Earth Realm, and Lin Bufan's cultivation level seemed to be about the same.

Although Lin Bufan injured Yuwen Huaji with a single palm strike, Yuwen Huaji sensed that Lin Bufan's strength was definitely not at the half-step Heavenly Realm.

Ancestor Yuwen has cultivated the Ice Profound Force to the eighth level, making him a half-step Heavenly Realm expert.

The leader of the Dugu clan is also a half-step Heavenly Realm expert.

The fact that Lin Bufan was able to kill the two of them indicates that he had another fortuitous encounter afterward, suggesting that his martial arts skills must have reached the early stage of the Heavenly Realm Nine Heavens.

"Shouldn't he be at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm Nine Heavens?"

Yuwen Huaji asked in disbelief, repeating the question.

Zhu Yuyan sighed and said, "Whether you believe it or not, last time he fought against both me and Shi Zhixuan at the same time, and they fought for twenty moves without a clear winner."

"What? This kid has become so powerful in such a short time?"

Yuwen Huaji realized that he had underestimated Lin Bufan from the very beginning.

"That means he is already above the early stage of the Nine Heavens Realm. The Demon Commander is no match for him. We have to go for it."

Yuwen Huaji flew out.

Yu Chuhong brandished her cane and flew out as well. "Count me in. At this time, I can't care about the number of people bullying the few. Let the people in the martial arts world laugh if they want. I'm not a man. Face is a small matter, revenge is a big matter."

With a whoosh, two powerful experts at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm descended from the sky and stood in front of Lin Bufan.

Together with Demon General Zhao Deyan, they formed a three-way standoff to attack Lin Bufan.

"Lin Bufan, you killed my ancestor, my brothers, and my son. I have mastered the tenth level of the Ice Profound Force and have come here specifically to seek revenge on you."

Yuwen Huaji released his aura, revealing himself to be at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm Nine Heavens, far surpassing You Chuhong and the Demon Commander at the early stage.

Yu Chuhong was astonished, thinking to herself that Yuwen Huaji had indeed mastered the tenth level of strength, making him several times more powerful than his ancestor.

Zhao Deyan also admitted his inferiority, realizing that he had underestimated Yuwen Huaji.
