nted to cry, he wanted to scream, he wanted to struggle desperately, but it could only be an idea. His body lay there quietly, without any reaction.Then the second needle came down, and that pain that...Ye Bufan strode toward Han Tiegang again, following the same method, and soon cured his injuries as well.

Han Li kept guard beside the stretcher, and both father and son expressed their deepest gratitude. Then Han Tiegang also began to sit cross-legged, cultivating and breaking through.

At that very moment, the situation on stage took a turn. Ma Qing parried Tang Feng's gun with a single strike, and his short blade then flashed like lightning, aimed at Tang Feng's wrist.

Based on this fast experience, the Lightning Blade seems to live up to its reputation.

Since the start of the conflict, Tang Feng has been on the defensive, now at his breaking point. There's no time to dodge anymore.

A cruel smile played on Ma Qing's lips. He hadn't chosen to kill anyone since the start of the war, not because he was kindhearted, but because this way of crippling his opponents satisfied him on a deeper level.

Seeing the opponent's blade flash right before his eyes, he was helpless to dodge. He could only sigh inwardly, it seemed he was going to be defeated.

But just then, a powerful force suddenly hit his waist, flinging his body backward off the stage.

Ma Qing's attack was sure to hit, but it ended up missing. This surprised him greatly, and he immediately turned his gaze towards Tang Feng's direction.

I saw a black whip wrapped around Tang Feng's waist, the other end held in Ye Bufan's hand, saving him from the stage at a critical moment.

Tang Feng opened his eyes and gratefully said, "Ye younger brother, thank you for saving my life."

Ye Bufan put away the long whip in his hand. It was woven from the skin of the three-eyed thunder snake during his idle time these days, and it was incredibly tough.

He joked, "It's nothing, I have to treat your injuries anyway, so it's like helping myself."

Ma Qing didn't expect to meet Ye Bufan here again. He glared at the crowd below and shouted, "Boy, don't you know we're having a martial arts competition What gives you the right to interfere"

At this moment, Li Hongying on the other side of the stage also saw the situation here. She couldn't help but frown. Ye Bufan's appearance brought a heavy sense of pressure to her heart.

Tang Tianyi saw that his son was safe and sound, let out a long breath, and said, "Let's just get off stage, it counts as admitting defeat. It's not considered making trouble."

Indeed, according to the rules before the match, regardless of the reason, as long as one steps down, it is considered a loss. Ma Qing has nothing to say about this.

He transferred his anger onto Ye Bufan: "Ye, if you have the guts, come and fight me!"

Before Ye Bufan could speak, Wu Tianxi shouted: “We don’t need Mr. Ye to deal with you.”

He turned to a middle-aged man sitting behind him and said, "Mr. Fei, I'm asking you to take the field."

This middle-aged man is about 5 feet 7 inches tall, of average build, with a long sword on his back. He has a faint smile on his face, but his whole body exudes an overwhelming aura of power.

Song Aoshuang whispered in Ye Bufan's ear: "Ye Ye, this is the master we invited from the Wudao Association for 10 million yuan for this ring competition. His name is Fei Liang, the Shadowless Sword."

"Ten million, that's a hefty sum to spend. It might all go down the drain."

Ye Bufan glanced at Fei Liang. His cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Profound Rank, but compared to Ma Qing on the stage, he was still a little short.

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's hard to find a good expert these days." Song Aofeng said, "But this guy is indeed quite skilled. His swordsmanship is truly amazing, the name 'Shadowless Sword' suits him well."

Ye Bufan didn't say anything more. In terms of strength, Fei Liang was indeed a notch higher than everyone in the entire Jiangnan Martial Arts Association.

Although Wutianxi had also reached the middle stage of Xuanjie, he had only just broken through recently and his overall strength was still somewhat lacking.

At this time, Fei Liang from over there stood up from his seat and looked at Wu Tianxi and said, "President Wu, I can also make a move, raising the price to 20 million."

Wu Tianxi's expression changed: "Mr. Fei, we agreed that you would make a move for 10 million. You are a well-known expert who has been around for many years. We should keep our word."

“Reputation What’s that worth” Fei Liang let out a cold smile. “As you can see, the guy on stage is incredibly powerful. He could easily cripple me. In this situation, isn’t it reasonable for me to add some more money”

“You…”

Wu Tianxi's face turned ashen with rage. He didn't expect this person he had invited to pull a "sit on the ground and bargain" stunt.

Fei Liang said, "Martial Arts President, we have a price that doesn't cheat people. If you agree, I will go on stage to fight for you. If not, I will leave now."

"We'll pay for this."

Tang Ruyi walked over. Although she was extremely displeased with Fei Liang's lack of integrity, the situation forced her hand. If money could solve things, it was always the best solution.

"Master Tang is still as straightforward as ever." Fei Liang added, "But we need to pay first, and as we agreed, I'll just go on stage and won't be responsible for the outcome."

Wutianxi grumbled, “What kind of rule is this”

"I'm a truly straightforward person, and I'll be honest: this guy is very powerful. I don't think I have a chance of winning."

"If I can win, I will. If I can't, it's not my fault. You can't expect me to risk my life for 20 million, can you"

Tang Tianyi stopped Wutianxi, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for 20 million and handed it over.

"Awesome!"

Fei Liang took the check, bounced it in his hand, then put it in his pocket and strode towards the platform.

Song Aoshuang said angrily, "This guy is really too much. He actually took advantage of the fire and looted."

"Old Master Tang is really something, giving him so much money. What if this guy doesn't work hard after he gets into power"

Ye Bufan said, "Ginger is hot after all. Old Master Tang isn't that easy to fool."

Fei Liang has been out in the world for so many years, he also needs to consider his reputation. And with Ma Qing's ruthlessness, once on stage, he wouldn't be able to help but go all out.

Song Aoshuang still said dissatisfiedly, "That guy is too despicable. We agreed on 10 million before."

"Don't worry, we can still get it back later," Ye Bufan said.

Song Aoshuang said in astonishment, "How is this possible Looking at that fellow's greedy appearance, how could he possibly return it to us after getting his hands on it"

Ye Bufan just smiled slightly, said nothing, and looked towards the stage.

Fei Liang stepped onto the stage and glanced at Ma Qing. He extended his right hand, and under the pull of his qi, the long sword behind him jumped out with a clang, landing in his palm. A powerful sword aura instantly enveloped the entire stage.

Seeing this display of skill, Wu Tianxi's eyes lit up and his confidence grew. The Jiangnan Martial Arts Association had already lost three matches in a row. If they lost this one too, it would be four losses.

If that's the case, then they would be pushed to the brink and have to win six games in a row to achieve victory, which is undoubtedly a daunting challenge.

Ma Qing seemed to also sense Fei Liang's strength, slowly drawing the short dagger from behind his back, his expression more serious than ever.

Two people on stage locked eyes, neither moving, but both intently focused on the other, searching for an opportunity to strike.

Time ticked by, second after second. Just as everyone was about to lose patience, the two of them moved at the same instant.

Figures crisscrossed, blades flashing in a whirlwind of steel.

Due to the speed, many people couldn't see how they made their move. The two of them instantly switched positions, standing back-to-back on the stage.

Soon, people were surprised to find that Ma Qing had a gash on his left shoulder, blood spurting out.ming from this direction. How could he suddenly disappearSun Yao looked at Ye Bufan fiercely: "What are you doing here""This senior brother, your words are wrong, aren't they This is my residence, whe...
