From the fake emperor to the concubine

Zhang Yunfan once again volunteered, finally managing to attract their attention.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yunfan with suspicion.

They all knew this kid's strength very well. Although his talent was extraordinary, his cultivation level was really just a novice in the Qi Refining stage.

How could someone who hasn't even reached the beginner level think he can delay those two powerful guys, Ox-Head and Horse-Face?
For a moment, they really didn't know whether they were crazy or whether Zhang Yunfan was crazy.

After all, if they really got serious and used their full strength, any one of them was confident that they could kill Zhang Yunfan instantly.

Not to mention those two, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, who are even stronger than them.

Seeing that no one believed him, Zhang Yunfan was too lazy to explain anymore. He simply picked up his greatsword and charged towards the nearest horse-faced demon.

"Don't be impulsive!" Zhuo Liqun tried to stop him in a panic.

However, Zhang Yunfan's movements were too sudden. By the time he realized what had happened, Zhang Yunfan's greatsword had already collided with Horse-Face's giant axe.

This sudden turn of events left everyone momentarily stunned, prompting them to shake their heads in surprise.

"No!" Wei Siling immediately followed, wanting to protect Zhang Yunfan.

After all, if this kid dies, she will also be shattered and die.

The moment Zhang Yunfan's greatsword collided with Ma Mian's giant axe, Wei Siling felt as if her heart was about to shatter.

How could a Qi Refining cultivator possibly withstand an attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

But what happened next almost made everyone's eyes pop out.

The horse-faced demon's attack was so powerful that even Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't withstand it head-on, yet Zheng Yunfan actually managed to block it.

That wasn't the scariest part. What shocked them even more was that it seemed to be the horse-faced demon that was being suppressed, not Zhang Yunfan, a novice in the Qi Refining stage.

"What's going on? Am I under some kind of illusion? Otherwise, how could I be seeing something like this?"

"Hehe, I must be the one who's doing something wrong, otherwise how could I have seen a Qi Refining cultivator block an attack from a Foundation Establishment expert?"

Even if they saw it with their own eyes, no one would believe what they saw.

They preferred to believe it was their imagination, or that they had fallen into the enemy's illusion.

Otherwise, there's simply no way to explain what's happening right now.

If all cultivators in the Qi Refining stage are this strong, wouldn't all their years of hard work have become a joke?
Of everyone present, only two people snapped out of their daze instantly.

The first one is Zhuo Liqun. After fighting Zhang Yunfan, he always felt that Zhang Yunfan's strength was definitely not limited to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although he was somewhat worried, after seeing that Zhang Yunfan had actually blocked the attack, he immediately seized the opportunity to launch an attack on Ma Mian in order to support Zhang Yunfan and prevent the kid from being caught in a two-front war.

The other person, of course, is Wei Siling.

Concern can cloud judgment, and she momentarily forgot that there was an incredibly terrifying entity inside Zhang Yunfan's body.

Therefore, after calming down, she did not hesitate to help Zhuo Liqun.

After all, with that terrifying being around, even if Zhang Yunfan couldn't defeat Horse-Face, at least his life wouldn't be in danger.

For them, the most important thing now is not to waste the opportunity created by Zhang Yunfan, and to do their best to take down Niu Tou.

After taking a blow from Ma Mian, Zhang Yunfan appeared calm and collected, seemingly even gaining the upper hand.

But only he knew that just one touch almost ruined one of his hands.

Not only were all the muscles and meridians in his arm severed, but he could also clearly feel that the bones in his arm had shattered into dozens of pieces.

Normally, this kind of injury would have crippled him.

But the moment he was injured, Zheng Yi opened an even larger gap in the seal within his body.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted forth, instantly restoring his injuries to full health. The remaining power even easily deflected Horse-Face's giant axe.

Moreover, after his arm injury recovered, Zhang Yunfan could clearly feel that his arm was much stronger than before it was healed.

"This is impossible!" Horse-face roared in disbelief, and once again swung his giant axe down.

This was the first time these people had ever heard the voices of Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

So it turns out that these two guys, who seem like messengers of hell, also experience fear and dread.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators, who were initially filled with fear of these two, suddenly regained their confidence.

As planned, they launched a relentless attack on the bull's head.

After Zhuo Liqun and Wei Siling couldn't hold on any longer and stepped down, someone immediately took their place.

The relentless onslaught of attacks was relentless, and no matter how powerful the Minotaur was, he gradually found it difficult to cope with their frenzied assault.

The increasingly exhausted bull's head kept glancing frantically at the horse's face, trying to get the other to cooperate.

To his surprise, he discovered that Horse-Face's condition was even worse than his own.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Horse-Face was left only with a pathetic defense when facing that Qi Refining stage ant.

This plunged Minotaur into deep suspicion.

What exactly happened that allowed Horse-Face to be suppressed by a mere Qi Refining cultivator, and to be in such a precarious situation, seemingly on the verge of being killed at any moment?

Is this really possible?
Unconvinced, the bull-headed creature took advantage of the moment when the enemies in front of it were changing places and casually stabbed its giant axe towards Zhang Yunfan's location.

Their enormous axes are also covered with spear-like spikes, making them quite powerful for stabbing people.

"Be careful of a sneak attack." Zheng Yi, who was possessing Zhang Yunfan's sea of ​​consciousness, was afraid that his cheap disciple was too focused and would not notice the bull's sneak attack, so he quickly reminded him.

"I understand, Master. Don't worry, I've been carrying him the whole time." As Zhang Yunfan's greatsword deflected the horse-faced giant axe, it also cleaved towards the bull's head.

Although only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed, for Zhang Yunfan, that time felt like centuries.

The situation is urgent, and Zheng Yi has no way to teach Zhang Yunfan step by step and let him grow up gradually.

In order to enable Zhang Yunfan to quickly develop combat power, Zheng Yi devised a method of physical training similar to the one he used when he obtained the Filthy Human Emperor Body.

The saying goes, "No destruction, no construction; destruction precedes construction."

First, completely destroy all the meridians in your body, and then use the abundant spiritual energy to repair your body.

However, Zhang Yunfan is different from me, and I can't completely use my methods.

Therefore, Zheng Yi temporarily created a body-refining technique. In addition, after a period of research, he gained a deeper understanding of the seal within Zhang Yunfan's body and was able to release more spiritual energy.

The combination of these two factors led to Zhang Yunfan's rapid growth.

It sounds easy, but the process of sculpting the body is incredibly difficult.

My arm was torn apart again and again, as if it had been forcibly ripped off my body.

The sheer pain alone is something most people couldn't endure.

Not to mention that this excruciating pain doesn't just happen once or twice, but occurs hundreds or thousands of times in a row, which can easily destroy a person's spirit.

Having undergone such a painful baptism of the I Ching, Zhang Yunfan finally experienced a complete transformation.

Although he is still only at the Qi Refining stage, breaking through is just a matter of a thought.

The reason he hadn't broken through was because Zheng Yi was afraid his foundation was unstable and he wouldn't be able to control his current power after breaking through. However, even at the Qi Refining stage, Zhang Yunfan could still unleash strength comparable to a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In addition, the seal within his body provided him with a continuous supply of spiritual energy, as well as the cultivation techniques taught by Zheng Yi.

It can be said that as long as Zhang Yunfan is not killed directly, any attack will only cause him to quickly repair himself and return to his original state.

Zhang Yunfan's vitality is like that of an unkillable cockroach; if you can't kill him, he'll only become stronger.

Although there seemed to be no communication between Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Horse-Face reacted immediately the moment Ox-Head made his move, quickly diverting Zhang Yunfan's attention to the other side.

By the time Zhang Yunfan realized something was wrong, the bull's attack was already upon him.

With nowhere to hide, Zhang Yunfan simply let the sharp point of the bull-headed axe pierce his stomach.

At the same time, his greatsword, carrying immense power, slashed towards the bull's neck.

Seeing Zhang Yunfan working so hard, many cultivators around couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The bull's eyes were filled with terror, and it instinctively tried to pull back its giant axe to dodge Zhang Yunfan's attack.

How could Zhang Yunfan possibly get what he wanted?

As he made his move, he grabbed the giant axe. The bull-headed bull tried to pull it back several times, but he couldn't manage to pull it back.

It wasn't until the third pull, with all his might, that he managed to pull the axe out. Zhang Yunfan's internal organs and intestines were also ripped out and flew everywhere.

Because of this delay, Minotaur completely missed the opportunity to dodge the attack.

The great sword struck the bull's neck directly.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

Unfortunately, the results achieved by the Great Sword were not as great as they had imagined.

Although the great sword struck the bull's neck, it didn't penetrate very deep, only about half an inch.

Although it appears to be bleeding profusely, it is only considered a superficial injury to a cultivator.

The reason for this is that the greatswords used by Zhang Yunfan are basically unsharpened.

This weapon, due to its weight, can generate great destructive power.

If you sharpen it, it will actually affect its performance.

Unfortunately, at this time, because it wasn't sharp enough, it didn't produce very good results.

"Get out of my way!" Seeing that the bull-headed man was injured, the horse-faced man charged over and began hacking wildly.

Although there was no particular method to it, their desperate spirit forced even Zheng Yi to temporarily back down.

Seeing that Horse-Face was red-eyed and still wanted to continue chasing Zhang Yunfan, Ox-Head, who had recovered, quickly pulled him back.

"Don't be impulsive, it's just a superficial injury, you won't die. Don't panic."

After being persuaded by Niu Tou, Ma Mian quickly calmed down and stared intently at Zhang Yunfan with his blood-red eyes.

If looks could kill, this look would probably be enough to kill Zhang Yunfan hundreds of times over.

"Brother, you..." Zhuo Liqun had a lot of questions to ask, but he forced himself to swallow them back.

The situation is strange right now; this is not the time to talk about these things.

Most importantly, the way the surrounding cultivators looked at Zhang Yunfan was not good either.

Although now, they are comrades-in-arms fighting side by side.

But Zhang Yunfan's performance just now was completely unexpected by everyone.

In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he, a Qi Refining cultivator, was able to grow to the point where he could surpass a Foundation Establishment expert.

This kid Zhang Yunfan either possesses some kind of heaven-defying magical artifact, or some powerful elixir, or more likely, some kind of miraculous cultivation technique.

It will definitely arouse their greed.

They might not act directly, but it's not impossible for them to use the hands of Ox-Head and Horse-Face to kill Zhang Yunfan.

So it's best not to ask anything.

"Can you still hold on?" Zhuo Liqun asked earnestly.

Zhang Yunfan laughed confidently: "Brother Zhuo, what you should be asking now is whether they can withstand my attacks."

His words were arrogant, but no one thought there was anything wrong with them.

After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes how this terrifying young man had acquired power comparable to that of Ox-Head and Horse-Face in such a short period of time.

In fact, Zhang Yunfan is now stronger than most of them.

"Then I'll leave the horse-faced one to you; we'll try our best to handle the other one."

After a pause, although Zhuo Liqun thought it was unlikely, he still added, "If you can take down one of them, come and help us."

"Leave it to me." As soon as he uttered the first word, Zhang Yunfan had already charged out with his greatsword.

As the last word fell, he swung his greatsword in a wide arc, aiming it at the horse's face.

Horse-face gritted his teeth: "Damn trash, don't be so arrogant."

He swung his giant axe to meet the attack, and the two massive weapons collided heavily.

The sound waves generated by the impact spread outwards in all directions from the two of them.

The shockwave whipped Wei Siling's hair into a mess.

She had no time to deal with it; at this moment, all her attention was focused on the bull's head.

After barely managing to withstand two attacks, he immediately called for a replacement.

Niu Tou was annoyed by these people and, ignoring the harassment from others, decided to target Wei Siling and focus his attack on her alone.

Wei Siling hadn't expected Niu Tou to be so persistent this time. By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

"Watch out, I'm here to help you!" Zhuo Liqun thrust his halberd with all his might toward the back of the bull's head, trying to force him to defend and rescue Wei Siling.

Niu Tou was determined to kill Wei Siling, even if it meant mutual destruction.

It seemed that Wei Siling was about to die at the hands of Niu Tou.

Something covered in blood suddenly flew over and slammed into the bull's chest with a thud before falling to the ground.

He had noticed the attack earlier, but since there was no danger, he hadn't paid any attention to it.

After the object landed, Minotaur glanced at it instinctively, then froze in place.

Because that thing was none other than the head of Horse-Face.

Before he could recover from his shock, the surrounding cultivators attacked simultaneously.

The dense attack instantly overwhelmed the bull's head.

No one expected that they would kill the two guys so easily. (End of Chapter)
