"Overestimating one's abilities."
Lin Bufan sneered.
So what if I've defeated the Four Great Masters of Tianlong? I've already beaten the Five Great Masters of Shendang. Why would I be afraid of you?
What?
Grandmaster?
Who isn't a grandmaster? My Northern Darkness Divine Art is itching for a breakthrough, so come on over.
Let's see if your Yi Jin Jing is more powerful or my Bei Ming Divine Skill is more powerful.
"You brat, prepare to die."
Lost in thought, Xiao Yuanshan had already closed in, right in front of him, unleashing a powerful attack with his Yi Jin Jing internal energy.
"Let's see who dies first."
Lin Bufan roared and unleashed the Northern Darkness Divine Art, striking out with a palm.
Bang!
The two palms collided, creating a ripple of true energy.
Xiao Yuanshan was full of arrogance and looked down on Lin Bufan. He mocked, "Young man, how can you know how powerful I, Xiao Yuanshan, am? Even if I were to carry the weight of the entire Liao and Song dynasties, I, Xiao Yuanshan, would still be invincible in the martial world."
"Yeah……"
Lin Bufan sneered and suddenly increased the force.
Slurp...
Xiao Yuanshan's internal energy was instantly half drained, leaving him feeling empty and void inside.
"My internal energy... how could this be?"
Xiao Yuanshan was shocked and inexplicably panicked, only then realizing how formidable this person was, exceptionally so.
He had spent thirty years stealing scriptures from the Shaolin Temple's library to cultivate his internal strength, and it was only with great difficulty that he had achieved his current level of prowess. Yet, his opponent absorbed half of it the moment he made a move.
No, I have to get out of here quickly; I absolutely cannot let this kid do all the work for me.
Xiao Yuanshan struggled to get rid of Lin Bufan.
However, there was no way to get rid of it. Lin Bufan's Beiming Divine Skill had a fierce suction force, and once you were touched, you couldn't shake it off.
In desperation, Xiao Yuanshan decided to seek outside help, crying out in fear to his stunned son, "Feng'er, save me!"
Qiao Feng was grieving, remembering his deceased adoptive parents and Master Xuanku, when he suddenly heard Xiao Yuanshan calling out. He looked up and saw him.
My father was actually beaten to a pulp by Young Master Lin?
When Dad transformed into the man in black, his martial arts were fiercer than mine, yet he was still easily defeated by Young Master Lin?
Qiao Feng was greatly alarmed. It seemed that he had underestimated Young Master Lin at the last Heroes' Gathering. Young Master Lin's true combat strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Grandmaster.
My father is in danger. Even though he has a thousand faults and a hundred faults, he is still my father, and I must save him.
"Dad, hold on, I'm coming."
Qiao Feng joined the battle, unleashing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to fight Lin Bufan.
Lin Bufan used the Ambidextrous Technique taught by Zhou Botong, simultaneously employing two martial arts: the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.
The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms countered Qiao Feng's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, while the Northern Darkness Divine Skill dealt with Xiao Yuanshan, continuing to absorb Xiao Yuanshan's profound internal energy.
The people around were stunned and kept rubbing their eyes.
"I didn't see wrong, did I? Lin Bufan... he's fighting the Xiao family father and son all by himself?"
"He actually knows the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, where did he learn it?"
"Qiao Feng was a grandmaster, after all. There's the saying 'Southern Murong, Northern Qiao Feng,' yet Lin Bufan gave him a handicap?"
"What's even more terrifying is that Lin Bufan can use two martial arts at the same time. How bizarre."
"Is this the martial art of the Free and Unfettered Sect, the Northern Darkness Divine Art?"
"If I had known I could go to the Zhenlong Chess Game earlier, I should have gone earlier. This kid stole the opportunity from the Xiaoyao Sect."
...
Having lived in the Tomb of the Living Dead for many years, Xiaolongnu knew little about the martial arts masters outside and didn't know how powerful Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan were. She asked Li Mochou, "Senior Sister, are they father and son very powerful?"
Having gone through the Valley of Heartbreak together, Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu's relationship became much more harmonious. She was no longer fixated on who owned the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and treated her junior sister with gentleness.
He replied to Xiaolongnu, "They are all Grandmasters. One is known as Qiao Feng of the North, the other is known as the number one expert of the Liao Dynasty, and Lin Bufan... if I remember correctly, he only broke through to the Grandmaster level a few days ago."
"If a newly ascended Grandmaster faces a seasoned Grandmaster, wouldn't Lin Bufan be in great danger?"
Little Dragon Girl was immediately worried.
In the Valley of Heartbreak, Lin Bufan's opponents, such as the Golden Wheel Monk, Gongsun Zhi, Yin Kexi, and Nimo Xing, were all only at the Grandmaster level, at most at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, and none of them reached the Great Grandmaster level.
That's why Lin Bufan was able to deal with them. Now, with Qiao Feng from the North and the number one expert from the Liao Dynasty, can Lin Bufan... still hold his own?
Wanyan Ping, Lu Wushuang, and Hong Lingbo were also worried.
On the surface, Xiao Yuanshan was subdued by Brother Lin, but experience is the best teacher, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't turn the tide. Moreover, Qiao Feng is getting stronger and stronger with each battle, making him seem very difficult to deal with.
Li Mochou, however, had complete confidence in Lin Bufan. She had personally experienced Lin Bufan's strength, defeating her in just a few moves, making him invincible among his peers.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanshan and his son are definitely no match for Lin Bufan.
"Don't worry, junior sister, Lin Bufan's martial arts are more powerful than you think."
On the opposing side, the Shaolin monks had mixed feelings. On one hand, they hoped that Qiao Feng and his son would be killed by Lin Bufan, because Qiao Feng had killed Abbot Xuanci and Xiao Yuanshan had killed Master Xuanku.
On the other hand, they also hoped that Lin Bufan would be killed because Lin Bufan slandered the abbot, smeared the abbot, and smeared Buddhism and the entire Shaolin Temple.
Ideally, they would both be severely injured and perish together.
Duan Yu was very worried: "Will my elder brother be in danger? Should I go to help him? But my Six Meridians Divine Sword is unreliable. If I act rashly, I might anger Young Master Lin and make things worse."
Forget it, let's wait and see for a while. I'll go up and help if my brother can't handle it.
Those who also chose to wait and see included the Tibetan national preceptor Kumārajīva, as well as Murong Bo and his son Murong Fu.
Qiao Feng fought with increasing ferocity, his face filled with murderous intent, almost to the point of being bloodthirsty. He roared at Lin Bufan, "Let go of my father! Let go of my father now!"
"Shut up!" Lin Bufan was also furious at this moment. With his villainous bloodline activated, he didn't care whether Qiao Feng was a true hero or not. He would absorb Qiao Feng's internal energy first.
