Chapter 654: Fight to the Heart’s Content

“You’d better cooperate, or I’ll have the honor of announcing that the hidden Huangpu Clan will cease to exist!”

Li Xuan’s lips curled into a cold sneer. Despite the hidden Huangpu Clan’s vigilance, his expression remained audaciously arrogant, and his imposing aura erupted without restraint.

“You’d better cooperate, or I am honored to announce that the hidden Huangpu family will cease to exist!”

A cold smile played on Li Xuan’s lips. Despite the defenses of the hidden Huangpu family, his expression remained as bold as ever, and his aura erupted without restraint!

Under the pressure of his aura, even the peak innate realm experts of the hidden Huangpu family felt their blood surge!

In an instant, the tense atmosphere became eerily strange. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family looked utterly shocked, not just because of this man’s strength, but because of the words that reminded him of a terrifying possibility!

“What exactly do you intend to do? If it doesn’t harm the interests of our hidden Huangpu family, we will not stand in your way!”

Quickly, the elder had come to terms with reality. If they continued to obstruct, the hidden Huangpu family might indeed face an inescapable calamity. After all, the true powerhouses of the Huangpu family were not stationed here.

“Rest assured, we are only here to verify one thing…”

After a long silence, Xiao Ding finally spoke. His smile appeared warm and friendly, but the old ghost of the hidden Tan family knew all too well that this man’s strength was even more terrifying than Li Xuan’s.

“Senior, as agreed…”

The old ghost of the Tan family couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He too was growing restless. The hidden Tan family had hoped to use these individuals to eliminate the Huangpu family, but from Xiao Ding’s tone, it seemed they weren’t planning to act directly.

“I don’t like repeating myself, and I detest being told what to do!”

The warm smile on Xiao Ding’s face suddenly froze. The old ghost of the hidden Tan family felt his body immobilized, unable to move. His expression turned grim. Was this man about to take action?

“I deserve death. It’s not my place to interfere with what the senior decides!”

Regardless, the old ghost of the hidden Tan family didn’t want to offend such a super powerhouse. He spoke with regret, and the members of the hidden Huangpu family watched in astonishment. This old ghost was actually addressing a middle-aged man as “senior”?

What was going on? It seemed the Tan family knew the identities of these individuals. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family’s council narrowed his eyes. The situation was becoming increasingly difficult to handle…

“Second Brother, spare this old man’s life. After all, he was the one who brought us here. If we do find that ancient lost formation, the Tan family will have their share of credit.”

Seeing that his second brother was considering killing, Li Xuan frowned slightly. But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and quickly shut his mouth.

“Fourth Brother, it’s good to see you have such awareness now. I’m sure the eldest brother will be pleased when he emerges from seclusion. After all, back then, you didn’t hesitate to annihilate the entire hidden Lei family.”

Xiao Ding wore a faint smile as he released the old ghost of the hidden Tan family from his restraint. He too didn’t want to kill, but he could clearly see that the hidden Tan family had been using them all along.

Moreover, his fourth brother, who had always treated human lives as worthless, was now asking him to spare the Tan family. It seemed there was more to this than met the eye…

Hearing Xiao Ding’s words, Li Xuan let out a dry laugh, but a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. The members of the hidden Huangpu family were once again struck with shock. These were the individuals who had annihilated the hidden Lei family. Cold sweat began to pour down their backs.

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, we should focus on the task at hand. Our presence has surely attracted the attention of many old-timers. If we make a misstep, things could turn ugly.”

Yu Yiren furrowed her brows, her concern growing as she thought about their current predicament. Although this world was not ideal for cultivation, there were still some formidable figures out there. Their previous actions had already drawn the attention of those individuals. Even though they had taken advantage of the ancient martial arts conference to make their move, it was inevitable that someone would notice them.

The two nodded without saying another word. The members of the hidden Huangpu family dared not obstruct them any further, allowing the group to proceed deeper into the heart of the hidden Huangpu family…

Meanwhile, at the ancient martial arts conference of the hidden Guo family, the sudden eruption of Xiao Yufan’s aura left many with expressions of astonishment. They lightly patted their cheeks to confirm they were still awake.

Half-step innate realm—Xiao Yufan was actually a half-step innate realm expert!

The four women simultaneously exhaled in relief, their lips curving into charming smiles. They had thought their man would be at a disadvantage, but it turned out that Xiao Yufan had been holding back his strength all along.

“How is this possible? How could his strength have grown so powerful?”

Gong Hao and Situ Xuan were completely deflated. The half-step innate realm was something they hadn’t even dared to dream of, yet Xiao Yufan had already reached that level. Even though they harbored deep animosity toward him, they could only feel a sense of helplessness.

Not only were the two of them utterly shocked, but even Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong, who had been sparring with Xiao Yufan, were belatedly struck with fear. Damn it, this guy had never revealed his true strength from the start. If he had, they would have been utterly crushed from the very beginning!

“I have to admit, Ying’er has a good eye.”

A bitter smile hung on Ye Kong’s lips as he mocked himself. He had been proud of barely touching the threshold of the half-step innate realm, yet this guy was already standing at that height. The blow was truly immense.

The one who felt it most deeply was Guo Chen, who was closest to Xiao Yufan. When Xiao Yufan’s half-step innate realm aura erupted, his expression froze. No matter how much he had calculated, he had never expected that Xiao Yufan, whom he had thought he could easily defeat, had also stepped into the half-step innate realm.

Seeing Guo Chen’s stunned expression, Xiao Yufan sneered. Damn it, he loved seeing that look of frustration on their faces. He was sure the hidden Guo family’s faces had turned green. They thought they could flaunt a half-dead young expert of the half-step innate realm as a source of pride, but he was going to crush the dignity of the hidden Guo family underfoot!

The full eruption of his strength had elevated Xiao Yufan’s power and speed to a new level. This kind of power was truly intoxicating. Given enough time, he would soon break through to the innate realm, truly stepping into the ranks of the super experts…

His palm twisted in a strange arc, and the white light surging around his hand solidified even further. The offensive power of the half-step innate realm was on a completely different level compared to the peak of the acquired realm. Just the aura alone was enough to instill fear!

Taking advantage of Guo Chen’s moment of hesitation, if Xiao Yufan didn’t act now, it would be a waste of the opening this guy had revealed. Since they were going to fight, they might as well fight to their heart’s content…

It seems there will be a thorough crackdown on pornography and illegal activities by the end of the year. Although I haven’t written much explicit content, I must ensure the story remains clean. I hope my friends can help me identify any problematic areas. If you find any, please leave a comment so we can make sure the book doesn’t get banned. If the book is banned, no one will be able to read it, right? Thank you all in advance…

In an instant, the atmosphere became eerily tense. The elder of the hidden Huangpu Clan wore an expression of shock—not only because of this person’s strength, but also because of those words, which reminded him of a terrifying possibility.

“Sir, what exactly do you intend to do? As long as our hidden Huangpu Clan’s interests aren’t harmed, we won’t interfere!”

Quickly, the elder came to terms with reality. If they continued to obstruct, the hidden Huangpu Clan might truly face annihilation. After all, their true experts weren’t stationed here.

“Don’t worry. We’re only here to verify something…”

Xiao Ding, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. His expression was warm and gentle, but the old man from the hidden Tan Clan knew all too well—this person was even more terrifying than Li Xuan.

“Senior, please remember our agreement…”

The old man from the hidden Tan Clan couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He was growing uneasy. The hidden Tan Clan had hoped to use these people to eliminate the Huangpu Clan, but from Xiao Ding’s tone, it seemed they weren’t planning to strike directly.

“I don’t like repeating myself, and I hate being told what to do!”

The gentle smile suddenly froze. The old man from the hidden Tan Clan felt his body freeze in place, unable to move. His expression darkened—was this person really about to attack?

“I was out of line, Senior. What needs to be done is not for me to decide!”

Still, the old man from the hidden Tan Clan had no desire to offend this supreme expert. He spoke with visible regret. This sight left the hidden Huangpu Clan members stunned—this old man actually addressed a middle-aged man as “Senior”? What was going on here? The elder from the hidden Huangpu Clan narrowed his eyes slightly. This situation was getting complicated…

“Second Brother, spare this old man’s life. After all, it was him who brought us here. If we truly locate that ancient lost formation, the Tan Clan deserves some credit.”

Seeing his second brother’s intent to kill, Li Xuan frowned slightly. But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and quickly shut his mouth.

“Little Brother, you’ve certainly matured. I’m sure the Eldest Brother will be pleased when he emerges from seclusion. Remember when you wiped out the entire hidden Lei Clan without hesitation?”

Xiao Ding smiled slightly as he slowly released the old man from the hidden Tan Clan. He didn’t want to kill either, but he could see clearly that the hidden Tan Clan had been using them all along.

And even his younger brother, who used to treat lives like grass, had asked him to spare the Tan Clan… It seemed things weren’t that simple…

Hearing Xiao Ding’s words, Li Xuan chuckled awkwardly, but a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. The hidden Huangpu Clan members were once again shocked—they were the ones who had annihilated the hidden Lei Clan. Cold sweat poured down their backs.

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, let’s focus on our mission. Our presence must have drawn the attention of many old experts. If things go wrong, it could be disastrous!”

Yu Yiren furrowed her delicate brows, worrying about their current situation. Although this world was not ideal for cultivation, there were still powerful figures around. Their previous actions had already drawn attention. Although they had taken advantage of the martial arts competition to come out, there was still a chance that someone might notice them.

The two nodded silently, saying nothing further. The hidden Huangpu Clan members dared not interfere either, watching helplessly as the group advanced deeper into the hidden Huangpu Clan’s territory…

At this moment, at the martial arts competition of the hidden Guo Clan, Xiao Yufan’s sudden surge of power caused many expressions to become extremely complicated. They gently slapped their cheeks to confirm they were still conscious.

“You’d better cooperate, otherwise I am honored to announce that the hidden Huangpu family will cease to exist!”

A cold smile crept onto Li Xuan’s lips. Despite the defenses of the hidden Huangpu family, his expression remained as bold as ever, and his aura erupted without restraint!

Under the pressure of his aura, even the peak innate masters of the hidden Huangpu family felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads!

In an instant, the tense atmosphere became eerily strange. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family looked utterly horrified, not just because of this man’s strength, but because of the words that reminded him of a terrifying possibility!

“What exactly do you want, sir? If it doesn’t harm the interests of our hidden Huangpu family, we will certainly not stand in your way!”

Quickly, the elder had come to terms with reality. If they continued to obstruct, the hidden Huangpu family might indeed face an inescapable calamity. After all, the true powerhouses of the Huangpu family were not stationed here.

“Don’t worry, we’re just here to verify something…”

After a long silence, Xiao Ding finally spoke. His smile appeared warm and friendly, but the old ghost of the hidden Tan family knew all too well that this man’s strength was even more terrifying than Li Xuan’s!

“Senior, as agreed…”

The corner of the old ghost’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. He couldn’t sit still any longer. The hidden Tan family had hoped to use these individuals to eliminate the Huangpu family, but from Xiao Ding’s tone, it seemed they had no intention of taking direct action.

“I don’t like repeating myself, and I detest being told what to do!”

The warm smile on Xiao Ding’s face suddenly froze. The old ghost of the hidden Tan family felt his body immobilized, unable to move. His expression turned grim. Could it be that this man was about to take action?

“I deserve death, Senior. It’s not my place to interfere with your decisions!”

Regardless, the old ghost of the hidden Tan family didn’t want to offend this super powerhouse. He spoke with regret, a sight that left the members of the hidden Huangpu family wide-eyed. This old ghost was actually addressing a middle-aged man as “Senior”?

What kind of act was this? It seemed the Tan family knew the identities of these individuals. The elder from the hidden Huangpu family’s council narrowed his eyes slightly. The current situation was undoubtedly very tricky…

“Second Brother, spare this old man’s life. After all, he was the one who brought us here. If we do find that ancient lost formation, the Tan family will have their share of credit.”

Seeing that his second brother was contemplating killing, Li Xuan frowned slightly. But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and quickly shut his mouth.

“Fourth Brother, it’s good to see you have such awareness now. I’m sure our eldest brother will be pleased when he emerges from seclusion. After all, back then, you didn’t hesitate to annihilate the entire hidden Lei family.”

Xiao Ding’s face carried a faint smile as he slowly released the restraint on the old ghost of the hidden Tan family. He too had no desire to kill, but he could clearly see that the hidden Tan family had been using them all along.

Moreover, his fourth brother, who had always treated human lives as worthless, was now asking him to spare the hidden Tan family. It seemed there was more to this than met the eye…

Hearing Xiao Ding’s words, Li Xuan let out a dry laugh, but a barely perceptible cold glint flashed in his eyes. The members of the hidden Huangpu family were once again struck with awe. So these were the individuals who had annihilated the hidden Lei family. Cold sweat began to pour down their backs.

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, we should focus on the task at hand. Our presence here has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many old-timers. If we make a misstep, things could turn ugly.”

Yu Yiren’s brows furrowed slightly as she considered their current predicament. Although this world was not conducive to cultivation, there were still some formidable figures lurking about. Their previous actions had already drawn the attention of these individuals. Even though they had taken advantage of the ancient martial arts gathering to make their move, it was inevitable that someone would notice them.

The two nodded without further comment. The members of the hidden Huangpu family dared not obstruct them any longer, allowing the group to proceed deeper into the heart of the hidden Huangpu family…

Meanwhile, at the ancient martial arts gathering of the hidden Guo family, the sudden eruption of Xiao Yufan’s aura left many with expressions of astonishment. They lightly slapped their cheeks to ensure they were still awake.

Half-step innate realm! Xiao Yufan was actually a half-step innate realm expert!

The four women simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, their lips curling into charming smiles. They had initially feared their man would be at a disadvantage, but it turned out that Xiao Yufan had been holding back his strength all along.

“How is this possible? How could his strength have grown so powerful?”

Gong Hao and Situ Xuan were completely deflated. The half-step innate realm was something they hadn’t even dared to dream of, yet Xiao Yufan had already reached that level. Even though they harbored deep animosity toward him, they could only feel utterly powerless.

Not only were the two of them deeply shaken, but even Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong, who had been sparring with Xiao Yufan, felt a belated sense of dread. Damn it, this guy had been hiding his true strength all along. If he had revealed it from the start, they would have been utterly crushed!

“I have to admit, Ying’er has a good eye.”

A bitter smile hung on Ye Kong’s lips as he mocked himself. He had been overjoyed to barely touch the threshold of the half-step innate realm, yet this guy was already standing at that height. The blow was truly immense.

The one who felt it most deeply was Guo Chen, who was closest to Xiao Yufan. When Xiao Yufan’s half-step innate realm aura erupted, his expression froze. No matter how he calculated, he had never expected that Xiao Yufan, whom he had thought he could easily dominate, had also stepped into the half-step innate realm.

Seeing Guo Chen’s stunned expression, Xiao Yufan sneered. Damn it, he loved seeing that look of frustration on his face. The hidden Guo family must be green with envy, thinking that the emergence of a half-dead young expert at the half-step innate realm gave them something to boast about. He was going to crush the dignity of the hidden Guo family beneath his feet!

The full eruption of his strength elevated Xiao Yufan’s power and speed to a new level. This kind of power was truly intoxicating. Given enough time, he would soon break through to the innate realm, truly stepping into the ranks of the super experts…

His palm twisted in a strange arc, and the white light surging around his hand solidified further. The offensive power of the half-step innate realm was on a completely different level compared to the peak acquired realm. Just the aura alone was enough to intimidate!

Taking advantage of Guo Chen’s moment of hesitation, if Xiao Yufan didn’t act now, it would be a waste of the opening this guy had revealed. Since they were going to fight, they might as well make it a thrilling one…

It seems there will be a thorough crackdown on pornography by the end of the year. Although I haven’t written much explicit content, I must ensure the book remains clean.

After a long silence, Xiao Ding finally spoke. His smile appeared warm and friendly, but the old ghost of the hidden Tan family knew all too well that this man’s strength was even more terrifying than Li Xuan’s!

“Senior, as we agreed…”

The old ghost of the Tan family couldn’t sit still any longer. The hidden Tan family had hoped to use these individuals to eliminate the Huangpu family, but from Xiao Ding’s tone, it seemed they weren’t planning to take direct action.

“I don’t like repeating myself, and I despise being told what to do!”

The warm smile on Xiao Ding’s face suddenly froze. The old ghost of the hidden Tan family felt his body immobilized, unable to move. His expression turned grim. Was this man about to strike?

“I deserve death. It’s not my place to interfere with what the senior decides!”

Regardless, the old ghost of the hidden Tan family didn’t want to offend this super powerhouse. He spoke with regret, and the members of the hidden Huangpu family watched in astonishment. This old ghost was calling a middle-aged man “senior”?

“Fourth Brother, it’s good to see you have such awareness now. I’m sure the boss will be pleased when he comes out of seclusion. After all, back then, you didn’t hesitate to annihilate the entire hidden Lei family.”

Xiao Ding smiled as he released the restraint on the old ghost of the hidden Tan family. He didn’t want to kill either, but he could clearly see that the hidden Tan family had been using them all along.

Moreover, the Fourth Brother, who had always treated human lives as worthless, was now asking him to spare the hidden Tan family. It seemed there was more to this than met the eye…

Hearing Xiao Ding’s words, Li Xuan chuckled dryly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The members of the hidden Huangpu family were once again shocked. These were the individuals who had wiped out the hidden Lei family. Cold sweat began to pour down their backs.

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, we should focus on our main task. Our presence has surely attracted the attention of many old-timers. If we make a misstep, things could turn ugly.”

Yu Yiren furrowed her brows, concerned about their current predicament. Although this world was not ideal for cultivation, there were still some formidable figures. Their previous actions had already drawn the attention of those individuals. Even though they had emerged during the ancient martial arts conference, it was inevitable that someone would notice them.

The two nodded without further comment. The members of the hidden Huangpu family dared not obstruct them, allowing the group to proceed toward the deepest part of the hidden Huangpu family…

Meanwhile, at the ancient martial arts conference of the hidden Guo family, the sudden eruption of Xiao Yufan’s aura left many with stunned expressions. They lightly patted their cheeks to ensure they were still awake.

Half-step innate realm—Xiao Yufan was also a half-step innate realm expert!

The four women simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, their lips curving into charming smiles. They had thought their man would be at a disadvantage, but it turned out that Xiao Yufan had been holding back his strength all along.

“How is this possible? How could his strength have grown so strong?”

Gong Hao and Situ Xuan were completely deflated. The half-step innate realm was something they hadn’t even dared to dream of, yet Xiao Yufan had already reached that level. Even though they harbored deep animosity toward him, they could only feel utterly powerless.

Not only were the two of them deeply shaken, but even Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong, who had been sparring with Xiao Yufan, felt a belated sense of fear. Damn it, this guy had never revealed his true strength. If he had, they would have been utterly crushed from the start.

“I have to admit, Ying’er has a good eye.”

A bitter smile hung on Ye Kong’s lips as he mocked himself. He had been proud of barely touching the threshold of the half-step innate realm, but this guy was already standing at that height. The blow was truly significant.

The one who felt it most deeply was Guo Chen, who was closest to Xiao Yufan. When Xiao Yufan’s half-step innate realm aura erupted, his expression froze. No matter how much he had calculated, he had never expected that Xiao Yufan, whom he thought he could easily defeat, had also stepped into the half-step innate realm.

His palm twisted in a strange arc, and the white light surging around his hand solidified further. The offensive power of the half-step innate realm was on a completely different level compared to the peak acquired realm. The sheer aura alone was terrifying!

Taking advantage of Guo Chen’s hesitation, if Xiao Yufan didn’t strike now, it would be a waste of the opening this guy had given him. Since they were going to fight, they might as well fight to the fullest…

It seems there will be a thorough crackdown on pornography and illegal content by the end of the year. Although I haven’t written much explicit content, I must ensure the story remains clean. I hope my friends can help me identify any inappropriate sections. If you find any, please leave a comment so I can make the necessary adjustments. This way, we can avoid the book being banned, and everyone can continue to enjoy it. Thank you all in advance…

“How is this possible? How could his strength have grown so much!”

“You’d better cooperate a bit, or I am honored to announce that the hidden Huangpu family will cease to exist!”

A cold smile played on Li Xuan’s lips. Despite the defenses of the hidden Huangpu family, his expression remained as bold as ever, and his aura erupted without restraint!

Under the pressure of his aura, even the peak innate masters of the hidden Huangpu family felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads!

In an instant, the tense atmosphere became extremely eerie. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family looked utterly horrified, not just because of this man’s strength, but because of the words that reminded him of a terrifying possibility!

“What exactly do you intend to do? If it doesn’t harm the interests of our hidden Huangpu family, we will certainly not stand in your way!”

Quickly, the elder had come to terms with reality. If they continued to obstruct, the hidden Huangpu family might truly face an inescapable calamity. After all, the true powerhouses of the Huangpu family were not stationed here.

“Rest assured, we are only here to verify one thing…”

After a long silence, Xiao Ding finally spoke, though his smile appeared warm and gentle. However, the old ghost of the hidden Tan family knew all too well that this man’s strength was even more terrifying than Li Xuan’s!

“Senior, as agreed…”

The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and the old ghost of the Tan family could no longer sit still. The hidden Tan family had hoped to use these individuals to eliminate the Huangpu family, but from Xiao Ding’s tone, it seemed they had no intention of taking direct action.

“I don’t like to repeat myself, and I despise being told what to do!”

The warm smile on Xiao Ding’s face suddenly froze, and the old ghost of the hidden Tan family felt his body immobilized, unable to move. His expression turned grim—was this man about to strike?

“I deserve death. It’s not my place to interfere with what the senior decides to do!”

Regardless, the old ghost of the hidden Tan family had no desire to offend such a super powerhouse. He spoke with regret, and the members of the hidden Huangpu family watched in astonishment. This old ghost was actually addressing a middle-aged man as “senior”?

“Fourth Brother, it’s good to see you have such awareness now. I’m sure the eldest brother will be pleased when he emerges from seclusion. After all, back then, you didn’t hesitate to annihilate the entire hidden Lei family.”

Xiao Ding wore a faint smile as he released the old ghost of the hidden Tan family from his restraint. He, too, had no desire to kill, but he could clearly see that the hidden Tan family had been using them all along.

Moreover, the Fourth Brother, who had always treated human lives as worthless, was now asking him to spare the hidden Tan family. It seemed there was more to this than met the eye…

Hearing Xiao Ding’s words, Li Xuan let out a dry laugh, though a faint glint of coldness flickered in his eyes. The members of the hidden Huangpu family were once again struck with shock. So these were the individuals who had annihilated the hidden Lei family. Cold sweat began to pour down their backs.

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, we should focus on the task at hand. Our presence has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many old-timers. If we make a misstep, things could turn ugly.”

Yu Yiren furrowed her delicate brows, feeling a sense of unease about their current situation. Although this world was not particularly conducive to cultivation, there were still some formidable figures out there. Their previous actions had already drawn the attention of those individuals. Even though they had emerged during the ancient martial arts conference, it was inevitable that someone would notice them.

The two nodded without saying anything more, and the members of the hidden Huangpu family dared not obstruct them further, allowing the group to proceed toward the deepest part of the hidden Huangpu family…

Meanwhile, at the ancient martial arts conference of the hidden Guo family, the sudden eruption of Xiao Yufan’s aura left many with expressions of astonishment. They lightly tapped their cheeks to ensure they were still awake.

Half-step innate realm—Xiao Yufan was actually a half-step innate realm master!

The four women simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, their lips curving into charming smiles. They had initially thought their man would be at a disadvantage, but it turned out that Xiao Yufan had been holding back his strength all along.

“How is this possible? How could his strength have grown so powerful?”

Gong Hao and Situ Xuan were completely deflated. The half-step innate realm was something they hadn’t even dared to dream of, yet Xiao Yufan had already reached that level. Even though they harbored deep animosity toward him, they could only feel utterly powerless.

Not only were the two of them deeply shaken, but even Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong, who had been sparring with Xiao Yufan, felt a belated sense of dread. Damn it, this guy had never revealed his true strength from the start. If he had, they would have been utterly crushed from the beginning!

“I have to admit, Ying’er has a good eye.”

A bitter smile hung on Ye Kong’s lips as he chuckled self-deprecatingly. He had been proud of himself for barely touching the threshold of the half-step innate realm, yet this guy had already reached that height. The blow to his pride was truly immense.

The one who felt the impact most deeply was Guo Chen, who was closest to Xiao Yufan. When Xiao Yufan’s half-step innate aura erupted, his expression froze. No matter how much he had calculated, he had never expected that Xiao Yufan, whom he had thought he could easily dominate, had also stepped into the half-step innate realm.

Seeing Guo Chen’s stunned expression, Xiao Yufan sneered inwardly. Damn it, I just love seeing that look of frustration on your face. I bet the hidden Guo family’s faces have turned green. They thought they could flaunt a half-dead young master of the half-step innate realm as a symbol of their pride, but I’m going to crush their dignity underfoot!

The full eruption of his strength elevated Xiao Yufan’s power and speed to a whole new level. This kind of power was truly intoxicating. Given enough time, he would soon break through to the innate realm, truly stepping into the ranks of the super powerful…

His palm twisted in a strange arc, and the white light surging around his hand solidified further. The offensive power of the half-step innate realm was on an entirely different level compared to the peak acquired realm. Just the aura alone was enough to strike fear into one’s heart!

Taking advantage of Guo Chen’s moment of hesitation, if Xiao Yufan didn’t act now, it would be a waste of the opening this guy had given him. Since they were going to fight, they might as well fight to their heart’s content…

It seems there will be a thorough crackdown on pornography and illegal activities by the end of the year. Although I haven’t written much explicit content, I must ensure the story remains clean. I hope my friends can help me identify any inappropriate sections. If you find any, please leave a comment so we can make sure the book doesn’t get banned. If the book gets banned, no one will be able to read it, right? Thank you all in advance…

Not only were the two shocked, but even those who had fought against Xiao Yufan—Nu Tiangong, Ye Kong, and others—felt a belated sense of fear. Damn it! This guy had never revealed his true strength. If he had, they would have been utterly crushed from the start!

“I have to admit, Ying’er’s taste is truly excellent!”

“You’d better cooperate, or I am honored to announce that the hidden Huangpu family will cease to exist!”

A cold smile curled at the corner of Li Xuan’s lips. Despite the defenses of the hidden Huangpu family, his expression remained as bold as ever, and his aura erupted without restraint!

Under the pressure of his aura, even the peak innate masters of the hidden Huangpu family felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads!

In an instant, the tense atmosphere became eerily strange. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family looked utterly shocked, not just because of this person’s strength, but because of the words that reminded him of a terrifying possibility!

“What exactly do you intend to do? If it doesn’t harm the interests of our hidden Huangpu family, we will not stand in your way!”

Quickly, the elder had come to terms with reality. If they continued to obstruct, the hidden Huangpu family might truly face an inescapable calamity. After all, the true powerhouses of the Huangpu family were not stationed here.

“Don’t worry, we’re just here to verify something…”

After a long silence, Xiao Ding finally spoke. His smile appeared warm and friendly, but the old ghost of the hidden Tan family knew all too well that this man’s strength was even more terrifying than Li Xuan’s.

“Senior, as agreed…”

The old ghost of the Tan family couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He was growing restless. The hidden Tan family had hoped to use these individuals to eliminate the Huangpu family, but from Xiao Ding’s tone, it seemed they had no intention of taking direct action.

“I don’t like repeating myself, and I despise being told what to do!”

The warm smile on Xiao Ding’s face suddenly froze. The old ghost of the hidden Tan family felt his body immobilized, unable to move. His expression turned grim. Could it be that this man was about to take action?

“I deserve death. It’s not my place to interfere with how the senior chooses to act!”

Regardless, the old ghost of the hidden Tan family didn’t want to offend such a super powerhouse. He spoke with regret, a sight that left the members of the hidden Huangpu family wide-eyed. This old ghost was actually addressing a middle-aged man as “senior”?

What kind of act was this? It seemed the Tan family knew the identities of these individuals. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family’s council narrowed his eyes slightly. The current situation was undoubtedly difficult to handle…

“Second Brother, spare this old man’s life. After all, he was the one who brought us here. If we do find that ancient lost formation, the Tan family will have their share of credit.”

Seeing that his second brother was contemplating killing, Li Xuan frowned slightly. But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and quickly shut his mouth.

“Fourth Brother, it’s good to see you have such awareness now. I’m sure the boss will be pleased when he emerges from seclusion. Remember, back then, you didn’t hesitate to annihilate the entire hidden Lei family.”

Xiao Ding wore a faint smile as he released the restraint on the old ghost of the hidden Tan family. He, too, had no desire to kill, but he could clearly see that the hidden Tan family had been using them all along.

Moreover, his fourth brother, who had always treated human lives as worthless, was now asking him to spare the hidden Tan family. It seemed there was more to this than met the eye…

Hearing Xiao Ding’s words, Li Xuan chuckled dryly, but a cold glint flickered in his eyes. The members of the hidden Huangpu family were once again struck with awe. So these were the individuals who had wiped out the hidden Lei family. Cold sweat began to pour down their backs.

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, let’s focus on the task at hand. Our presence has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many old-timers. If we make a misstep, things could turn ugly.”

Yu Yiren furrowed her delicate brows, feeling a sense of unease about their current predicament. Although this world was not conducive to cultivation, there were still some formidable figures around. Their previous actions had already drawn the attention of these individuals. Even though they had emerged during the ancient martial arts conference, it was inevitable that someone would notice them.

The two nodded without further comment. The members of the hidden Huangpu family dared not obstruct them, allowing the group to proceed toward the deepest part of the hidden Huangpu family…

Meanwhile, at the ancient martial arts conference of the hidden Guo family, the sudden eruption of Xiao Yufan’s aura left many with expressions of astonishment. They lightly slapped their cheeks to ensure they were still awake.

Half-step innate realm—Xiao Yufan was actually a half-step innate realm master!

The four women simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, their lips curling into charming smiles. They had initially thought their man would be at a disadvantage, but it turned out that Xiao Yufan had been holding back his strength all along.

“How is this possible? How could his strength have grown so powerful?”

Gong Hao and Situ Xuan were completely deflated. The half-step innate realm was something they hadn’t even dared to dream of, yet Xiao Yufan had already reached that level. Even though they harbored deep animosity toward him, they could only feel a sense of helplessness.

Not only were the two of them utterly shocked, but even Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong, who had been sparring with Xiao Yufan, felt a belated sense of fear. Damn it, this guy had been hiding his true strength all along. If he had revealed it from the start, they would have been utterly crushed!

“I have to admit, Ying’er’s judgment was truly spot-on.”

A bitter smile hung on Ye Kong’s lips as he mocked himself. He had been overjoyed to barely touch the threshold of the half-step innate realm, yet this guy was already standing at that height. The blow to his pride was immense.

The one who felt the deepest impact was Guo Chen, who was closest to Xiao Yufan. When Xiao Yufan’s half-step innate realm aura erupted, his expression froze. No matter how much he had calculated, he had never expected that Xiao Yufan, whom he had thought he could easily dominate, had also stepped into the half-step innate realm.

Seeing Guo Chen’s stunned expression, Xiao Yufan sneered. Damn it, he loved seeing that look of frustration on his face. He imagined the hidden Guo family’s faces turning green. They had thought that the emergence of a half-dead young master of the half-step innate realm was something to boast about, but he was going to trample their dignity into the dust.

The full eruption of his strength elevated Xiao Yufan’s power and speed to a new level. This kind of power was truly intoxicating. Given enough time, he would soon break through to the innate realm, truly stepping into the ranks of the superpowerful…

His palm twisted in a strange arc, and the white light surging around his hand solidified further. The offensive power of the half-step innate realm was on an entirely different level compared to the peak of the acquired realm. Just the aura alone was terrifying.

Taking advantage of Guo Chen’s moment of hesitation, if Xiao Yufan didn’t act now, it would be a waste of the opening this guy had given him. Since they were going to fight, they might as well make it a thrilling one…

It seems there will be a thorough crackdown on pornography and illegal activities by the end of the year. Although I haven’t written much explicit content, I must ensure the text remains clean.

If the book is banned, everyone will lose the chance to read it, right? Thank you in advance, friends…

“You’d better cooperate, or I am honored to announce that the hidden Huangpu family will cease to exist!”

A cold smile played on Li Xuan’s lips. Despite the defenses of the hidden Huangpu family, his expression remained as bold as ever, and his aura erupted without restraint!

Under the pressure of his aura, even the peak innate experts of the hidden Huangpu family felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads!

In an instant, the tense atmosphere became eerily strange. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family was filled with shock, not just because of this person’s strength, but because of the words that reminded him of a terrifying possibility!

“What exactly do you want, sir? If it doesn’t harm the interests of our hidden Huangpu family, we will certainly not stand in your way!”

Quickly, the elder had come to terms with reality. If they continued to obstruct, the hidden Huangpu family might truly face an inescapable disaster. After all, the true powerhouses of the Huangpu family were not stationed here.

“Rest assured, we are only here to verify one thing…”

After a long silence, Xiao Ding finally spoke. His smile appeared warm and friendly, but the old ghost of the hidden Tan family knew all too well that this man’s strength was even more terrifying than Li Xuan’s!

“Senior, as agreed…”

The old ghost of the Tan family couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. He was also growing restless. The hidden Tan family had hoped to use these individuals to eliminate the Huangpu family, but from Xiao Ding’s tone, it seemed they weren’t planning to take direct action!

“I don’t like to repeat myself, and I despise being told what to do!”

The warm smile on Xiao Ding’s face suddenly froze. The old ghost of the hidden Tan family felt his body immobilized, unable to move. His expression turned grim. Was this man planning to take action?

“I deserve death, Senior. It’s not my place to interfere with your decisions!”

Regardless, the old ghost of the hidden Tan family didn’t want to offend this super powerhouse. He spoke with regret, a sight that left the members of the hidden Huangpu family wide-eyed. This old ghost was actually addressing a middle-aged man as “Senior”?

What kind of act was this? It seemed the Tan family knew the identities of these individuals. The elder from the hidden Huangpu family’s council narrowed his eyes slightly. The current situation was undoubtedly difficult to handle…

Xiao Ding wore a faint smile as he released the old ghost of the hidden Tan family from his restraint. He, too, didn’t want to kill, but he could clearly see that the hidden Tan family had been using them all along.

Moreover, his fourth brother, who had always treated human lives as insignificant, was now asking him to spare the hidden Tan family. It seemed there was more to this than met the eye…

Hearing Xiao Ding’s words, Li Xuan let out a dry laugh, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The members of the hidden Huangpu family were once again struck with shock. These were the very individuals who had annihilated the hidden Lei family. Cold sweat began to pour down their backs.

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, let’s focus on the task at hand. Our presence has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many old-timers. If we make a misstep, things could turn ugly.”

Yu Yiren’s brows furrowed slightly as she considered their current predicament. Although this world was not conducive to cultivation, there were still some formidable figures around. Their previous actions had already drawn the attention of these individuals. Even though they had taken advantage of the ancient martial arts conference to make their move, it was inevitable that someone would notice them.

The two nodded without further words. The members of the hidden Huangpu family dared not obstruct them any longer, allowing the group to proceed toward the deepest parts of the hidden Huangpu family…

Meanwhile, at the ancient martial arts conference of the hidden Guo family, the sudden eruption of Xiao Yufan’s aura left many with expressions of astonishment. They lightly tapped their cheeks to ensure they were still awake.

Half-step innate realm! Xiao Yufan was actually a half-step innate expert!

The four women simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, their lips curling into charming smiles. They had initially thought their man would be at a disadvantage, but it turned out that Xiao Yufan had been holding back his strength all along.

Not only were the two of them utterly shocked, but even Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong, who had been sparring with Xiao Yufan, felt a belated sense of fear. Damn it, this guy had never revealed his true strength from the start. If he had, they would have been utterly crushed from the very beginning!

“I have to admit, Ying’er has excellent taste.”

A bitter smile hung on Ye Kong’s lips as he mocked himself. He had been proud of barely touching the threshold of the half-step innate realm, yet this guy was already standing at that height. The blow to his pride was immense.

The one who felt the impact most deeply was Guo Chen, who was closest to Xiao Yufan. When Xiao Yufan’s half-step innate aura erupted, his expression froze. No matter how much he had calculated, he had never expected that the Xiao Yufan he thought he could easily defeat had also stepped into the half-step innate realm.

Seeing Guo Chen’s stunned expression, Xiao Yufan sneered coldly. Damn it, he loved seeing that look of discomfort on their faces. He was sure the hidden Guo family’s faces had turned green. They thought they had a half-dead young expert at the half-step innate realm to boast about, but he was going to trample the dignity of the hidden Guo family into the dust!

The full eruption of his strength had elevated Xiao Yufan’s power and speed to a new level. This kind of power was truly intoxicating. Given enough time, he would soon break through to the innate realm, truly stepping into the ranks of the super experts…

His palm twisted into a strange arc, and the white glow around his hand solidified further. The offensive power of the half-step innate realm was on an entirely different level compared to the peak acquired realm. The sheer aura alone was terrifying!

Taking advantage of Guo Chen’s moment of hesitation, if Xiao Yufan didn’t act now, it would be a waste of the opening this guy had given him. Since they were going to fight, they might as well make it a thrilling one…

It seems there will be a thorough crackdown on pornography and illegal activities by the end of the year. Although I haven’t written much explicit content, I must ensure the text remains clean.

If the book gets banned, everyone will lose the chance to read it… Thank you in advance, friends…

“You’d better cooperate, or I am honored to announce that the hidden Huangpu family will cease to exist!”

A cold smile curled at the corner of Li Xuan’s lips. Despite the defenses of the hidden Huangpu family, his expression remained as bold as ever, and his aura erupted without restraint!

Under the pressure of his aura, even the peak innate masters of the hidden Huangpu family felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads!

In an instant, the tense atmosphere became eerily strange. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family was filled with shock, not just because of this man’s strength, but because of the words that reminded him of a terrifying possibility!

“What exactly do you want, sir? If it does not harm the interests of our hidden Huangpu family, we will certainly not stand in your way!”

Quickly, the elder had come to terms with reality. If they continued to obstruct, the hidden Huangpu family might indeed face an inescapable calamity. After all, the true powerhouses of the Huangpu family were not stationed here.

“Relax, we are only here to verify one thing…”

After a long silence, Xiao Ding finally spoke. His smile appeared warm and friendly, but the old ghost of the hidden Tan family knew very well that this man’s strength was even more terrifying than Li Xuan’s!

“Senior, as agreed…”

“I deserve death. It’s not my place to interfere with what the senior decides!”

Regardless, the old ghost of the hidden Tan family had no desire to offend this super powerhouse. He spoke with regret, a sight that left the members of the hidden Huangpu family wide-eyed. This old ghost was actually addressing a middle-aged man as “senior”?

What kind of act was this? It seemed the Tan family knew the identities of these individuals. The elder from the hidden Huangpu family’s council narrowed his eyes slightly. The current situation was undoubtedly very tricky…

“Second Brother, spare this old man’s life. After all, he was the one who brought us here. If we do find that ancient lost formation, the Tan family will have their share of credit.”

Seeing that his second brother was contemplating murder, Li Xuan couldn’t help but frown. But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and quickly shut his mouth.

“Fourth Brother, it’s good to see you have such awareness now. I’m sure the eldest brother will be pleased when he emerges from seclusion. After all, back then, you didn’t hesitate to annihilate the entire hidden Lei family.”

Xiao Ding wore a faint smile as he slowly released the restraint on the old ghost of the hidden Tan family. He, too, had no desire to kill, but he could clearly see that the hidden Tan family had been using them all along.

Moreover, the Fourth Brother, who had always treated human lives as worthless, was now asking him to spare the Tan family. It seemed there was more to this than met the eye…

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, we should focus on the task at hand. Our presence has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many old-timers. If we make a misstep, things could turn ugly.”

Yu Yiren furrowed her delicate brows, her thoughts turning to their current predicament. Although this world was not conducive to cultivation, there were still some formidable figures lurking about. Their previous actions had already drawn the attention of those individuals. Even though they had taken advantage of the ancient martial arts gathering to make their move, it was inevitable that someone would notice them.

The two nodded without saying anything more. The members of the hidden Huangpu family dared not obstruct them further, allowing the group to proceed deeper into the heart of the hidden Huangpu family…

Meanwhile, at the ancient martial arts gathering of the hidden Guo family, the sudden eruption of Xiao Yufan’s aura left many with expressions of astonishment. They lightly patted their cheeks to ensure they were still awake.

Half-step innate realm! Xiao Yufan was actually a half-step innate realm expert!

“I have to admit, Ying’er has excellent taste.”

A bitter smile hung on Ye Kong’s lips as he mocked himself. He had been celebrating his near-brush with the half-step innate realm, yet this guy was already standing at that height. The blow to his pride was no small matter.

The one who felt the impact most deeply was Guo Chen, who was closest to Xiao Yufan. When Xiao Yufan’s half-step innate aura erupted, his expression froze. No matter how much he had calculated, he had never expected that Xiao Yufan, whom he had thought he could easily dominate, had also stepped into the half-step innate realm.

Seeing Guo Chen’s stunned expression, Xiao Yufan sneered. Damn it, he loved seeing that look of discomfort on their faces. He was sure the hidden Guo family’s faces had turned green. They thought they had a half-dead young expert at the half-step innate realm to flaunt, but he was going to crush the dignity of the hidden Guo family beneath his feet!

The full eruption of his strength had elevated Xiao Yufan’s power and speed to a new level. This kind of power was truly intoxicating. Given enough time, he would soon break through to the innate realm, truly stepping into the ranks of the super experts…

His palm twisted in a strange arc, and the white light surging around his hand solidified further. The offensive power of the half-step innate realm was on an entirely different level compared to the peak post-heaven realm. The sheer aura alone was terrifying!

Taking advantage of Guo Chen’s moment of hesitation, if Xiao Yufan didn’t act now, it would be a waste of the opening this guy had revealed. Since they were going to fight, they might as well fight to the fullest…

“You’d better cooperate a bit, or I am honored to announce that the hidden Huangpu family will cease to exist!”

A cold smile curled at the corner of Li Xuan’s lips. Despite the defenses of the hidden Huangpu family, his expression remained as bold as ever, and his aura erupted without restraint!

Under the pressure of his aura, even the peak innate realm experts of the hidden Huangpu family felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads!

In an instant, the tense atmosphere became eerily strange. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family looked utterly horrified, not just because of this man’s strength, but because of the words that reminded him of a terrifying possibility!

“What exactly do you want, sir? If it doesn’t harm the interests of our hidden Huangpu family, we will certainly not stand in your way!”

Quickly, the elder had come to terms with reality. If they continued to obstruct, the hidden Huangpu family might truly face an inescapable calamity. After all, the true powerhouses of the Huangpu family were not stationed here.

“Don’t worry, we’re just here to verify something…”

Half-step innate realm! Xiao Yufan was actually a half-step innate realm expert!

The four women simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, their lips curving into charming smiles. They had initially thought their man would be at a disadvantage, but it turned out that Xiao Yufan had been holding back his strength all along.

“How is this possible? How could his strength have grown so much?”

Gong Hao and Situ Xuan were completely deflated. The half-step innate realm was something they hadn’t even dared to dream of, yet Xiao Yufan had already reached that level. Even though they harbored deep animosity toward him, they could only feel a sense of helplessness.

Not only were the two of them utterly shocked, but even Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong, who had been sparring with Xiao Yufan, felt a belated sense of fear. Damn it, this guy had never revealed his true strength. If he had, they would have been utterly crushed from the start.

“I have to admit, Ying’er has excellent taste.”

A bitter smile hung on Ye Kong’s lips as he mocked himself. He had been thrilled to touch the threshold of the half-step innate realm, yet this guy was already standing at that height. The blow was truly significant.

The one who felt it most deeply was Guo Chen, who was closest to Xiao Yufan. When Xiao Yufan’s half-step innate realm aura erupted, his expression froze. No matter how much he had calculated, he had never expected that Xiao Yufan, whom he had thought he could easily defeat, had also stepped into the half-step innate realm.

“You’d better cooperate, or I am honored to announce that the hidden Huangpu family will cease to exist!”

A cold smile played on Li Xuan’s lips. Despite the defenses of the hidden Huangpu family, his expression remained as bold as ever, and his aura erupted without restraint!

Under the pressure of his aura, even the peak innate masters of the hidden Huangpu family felt their blood surge!

In an instant, the tense atmosphere became eerily strange. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family looked utterly shocked, not just because of this man’s strength, but because of the words that reminded him of a terrifying possibility!

“What exactly do you want, sir? If it doesn’t harm the interests of our hidden Huangpu family, we will certainly not stand in your way!”

Quickly, the elder had come to terms with reality. If they continued to obstruct, the hidden Huangpu family might truly face doom. After all, the true powerhouses of the Huangpu family were not stationed here.

“Rest assured, we are only here to verify one thing…”

Xiao Ding, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke. His smile appeared warm, but the old ghost of the hidden Tan family knew all too well that this man’s strength was even more terrifying than Li Xuan’s!

“Senior, as agreed…”

The old ghost of the Tan family couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He was also on edge. The hidden Tan family had hoped to use these individuals to eliminate the Huangpu family, but from Xiao Ding’s tone, it seemed they weren’t planning to take direct action.

“I don’t like repeating myself, and I despise being told what to do!”

The warm smile on Xiao Ding’s face suddenly froze. The old ghost of the hidden Tan family felt his body immobilized, unable to move. His expression turned grim. Was this man about to strike?

“I deserve death. It’s not my place to advise you, Senior!”

Regardless, the old ghost of the hidden Tan family didn’t want to offend this super powerhouse. He spoke with regret, and the members of the hidden Huangpu family stared in disbelief. This old ghost was calling a middle-aged man “Senior”?

What was going on? It seemed the Tan family knew the identities of these individuals. The elder of the hidden Huangpu family’s council narrowed his eyes. The situation was becoming increasingly difficult to handle…

“Second Brother, spare this old man’s life. After all, he led us here. If we truly find that ancient lost formation, the Tan family will have their share of credit.”

Li Xuan frowned slightly as he saw his second brother’s killing intent, but he quickly shut his mouth as if realizing something.

“Fourth Brother, it’s good to see you have such awareness now. I’m sure our eldest brother will be pleased when he emerges from seclusion. Remember, back then, you didn’t hesitate to annihilate the entire hidden Lei family.”

Xiao Ding smiled as he released the old ghost of the hidden Tan family from his restraint. He didn’t want to kill either, but he could see that the hidden Tan family had been using them all along.

Moreover, his fourth brother, who usually treated human lives as worthless, was now asking him to spare the Tan family. It seemed there was more to this…

Hearing Xiao Ding’s words, Li Xuan chuckled dryly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The members of the hidden Huangpu family were once again shocked. These were the individuals who had annihilated the hidden Lei family. Cold sweat began to pour down their backs.

“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, let’s focus on our main task. Our appearance has surely attracted the attention of many old fellows. If we make a misstep, things could turn ugly.”

Yu Yiren furrowed her brows, concerned about their current predicament. Although this world was not ideal for cultivation, there were still some formidable figures. Their previous actions had already drawn the attention of those individuals. Even though they had emerged during the ancient martial arts conference, it was inevitable that someone would notice them.

The two nodded without further comment. The members of the hidden Huangpu family dared not obstruct them, allowing the group to proceed toward the deepest part of the hidden Huangpu family…

Meanwhile, at the ancient martial arts conference of the hidden Guo family, the sudden eruption of Xiao Yufan’s aura left many with stunned expressions. They lightly slapped their cheeks to ensure they were still awake.

Half-step innate realm! Xiao Yufan was also a half-step innate realm expert!

The four women simultaneously exhaled in relief, their lips curling into charming smiles. They had thought their man would be at a disadvantage, but it turned out Xiao Yufan had been holding back his strength all along.

“How is this possible? How could his strength have grown so powerful?”

Gong Hao and Situ Xuan were completely deflated. The half-step innate realm was something they hadn’t even dared to dream of, yet Xiao Yufan had already reached that level. Even with their deep animosity toward him, they could only feel utterly powerless.

Not only were the two of them shocked, but even Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong, who had fought Xiao Yufan, were belatedly struck with fear. Damn it, this guy had never revealed his true strength. If he had, they would have been utterly crushed from the start.

“I have to admit, Ying’er has excellent taste.”

A bitter smile hung on Ye Kong’s lips as he mocked himself. He had been proud of barely touching the threshold of the half-step innate realm, but this guy was already standing at that height. The blow was truly significant.

The one who felt it most deeply was Guo Chen, who was closest to Xiao Yufan. When Xiao Yufan’s half-step innate realm aura erupted, his expression froze. No matter how he calculated, he had never expected that Xiao Yufan, whom he thought he could easily dominate, had also stepped into the half-step innate realm.

Seeing Guo Chen’s stunned expression, Xiao Yufan sneered. Damn it, he loved seeing that look of frustration on their faces. He was sure the hidden Guo family’s faces had turned green. They thought they had a half-dead young expert of the half-step innate realm to boast about, but he was going to crush the dignity of the hidden Guo family underfoot.

The full eruption of his strength elevated Xiao Yufan’s power and speed to a new level. This kind of power was truly intoxicating. Given enough time, he would soon break through to the innate realm, truly stepping into the ranks of the super experts…

His palm twisted in a strange arc, and the white light surging from his hand solidified further. The offensive power of the half-step innate realm was on a completely different level from the peak of the acquired realm. Just the aura alone was terrifying.

Taking advantage of Guo Chen’s hesitation, if Xiao Yufan didn’t strike now, it would be a waste of the opening this guy had revealed. Since they were going to fight, they might as well fight to the fullest…

It seems there will be a thorough crackdown on pornography by the end of the year. Although I haven’t written much explicit content, I must ensure the book remains clean. I hope my friends can help me identify any inappropriate sections. If you find any, please leave a comment so I can make the necessary adjustments. This way, we can ensure the book doesn’t get banned. If the book is banned, everyone won’t be able to read it, right? Thank you all in advance…

Taking advantage of Guo Chen’s hesitation, if Xiao Yufan didn’t strike now, wouldn’t he be wasting the opening his opponent had exposed? If they were going to fight, he would make it a battle to remember…
