getting engaged to him. Is there such a thing as a free lunch in this world"Can you blame me He has so much money, why did he pretend to be poor when he came here Why didn't he just tell us directly"H..."Uh… uh…"

A series of terrifying screams echoed through the air, sending shivers down your spine. It was like a scene straight out of hell.

Every bolt of lightning striking the corpse-clothes would raise a plume of black smoke, and afterwards some souls would be shattered into nothingness.

Several bolts of lightning struck in succession, causing the ghostly figures on the corpse's clothing to diminish by half. The remaining ones trembled with fear.

"This...you are actually both a martial arts and magic practitioner"

At this moment, Zheng Shixun's face was filled with horror. This corpse robe of his was, strictly speaking, a magic weapon, and it had an absolute advantage for martial artists.

Once one encounters a cultivator of high cultivation, this advantage disappears. While it can withstand divine weapons, it cannot resist attacks from lightning.

He never would have imagined that this young man, in his twenties, had already reached the Saint rank. This was terrifying enough, but he hadn't expected him to be a Saint-rank spellcaster as well.

And just as he was stunned for a moment, the Tianlei Bead sent down several more bolts of lightning. The corpse robe on his body shattered and completely turned into a pile of fragments.

"This..."

Zheng Shixun's heart ached as if it were bleeding. This was a magic artifact he had spent decades painstakingly refining, and it had been destroyed so easily.

But now he couldn't care less. Before, he had only managed to fight Ye Bufan to a standstill thanks to the Corpse Robe's formidable defense.

Now that we have no magical artifacts to protect us, fighting on would only result in a humiliating defeat, and we might even lose our lives. There's no other choice but to turn tail and run.

The Zheng family members beside him were completely dumbfounded. They never expected this young man to be able to summon the power of thunder, nor did they expect that the ancestor of the Zheng family would be beaten and run away in fear.

"Don't run away, weren't you being very arrogant just now"

Ye Bufan gave a playful smile, then his figure vanished from where he stood, instantly appearing before Zheng Shixun. With a casual punch, he struck out.

He is now at the peak of the Saint Stage, while the other party is only at the later stage. Without the protection of the Corpse Robe, it's a complete crushing.

Zheng Shixun, filled with helplessness, wanted to leave but couldn't. He could only meet the punch head-on.

Two fists collided, a deafening boom echoing through the air. He was sent flying backwards like a scarecrow, a large mouthful of blood spewing from his lips.

Only then did he truly realize the vast difference in cultivation between them. The other party was actually a peak Saint-Rank expert.

Having steadied himself, he cried out in terror: "I yield! The Zheng family is willing to submit to you." The Zheng family members were completely stunned. They never expected that the esteemed patriarch of the renowned Zheng family would bow to this young man and admit defeat. This was simply unimaginable.

Zheng Seoxun knew his own limitations, this young man before him was so monstrously powerful. He couldn't beat him in a fight and he couldn't escape. If he didn't concede defeat, wouldn't that just mean waiting for death

"Surrender" Ye Bufan sneered coldly, "Your Zheng family has been doing evil for so many years, deserving a hundred deaths. You dare to say surrender!"

I told you, the Zheng family must be destroyed today, or else it would be an insult to those who died for you, their spirits trapped in your garments.

"This, young brother, as long as you let our Zheng family go, I am willing to acknowledge you as my master, willing to be your dog. You can make us do anything..."

At this moment, Zheng Shixun was completely panicked. As the saying goes, the older you get, the more afraid of death you become. He was originally an extremely cowardly person, afraid of death to his very core. Otherwise, he wouldn't have schemed to possess a new body and be reborn.

Ye Bufan shook his head, his eyes full of disdain: "Someone like you isn't even worthy to be my dog!"

"Boy, don't go too far!"

Zheng Se-hoon roared in anger, and just when everyone thought he was going to fight to the death, he suddenly turned and ran, fleeing towards outside the manor once again.

He had already seen it, the gap in strength between them. Even if he fought with all his might, he couldn't hurt the other person at all. What was the point of fighting It would be good enough to just save his own life.

But even if his physical prowess were unmatched, how could it possibly compare to teleportation He had only taken a few steps when Ye Bufan's figure reappeared before him.

What was different this time was that in his hand appeared a bizarre-shaped gun, the muzzle pointed directly at Zheng Shixun.

"This is a particle gun!"

As the patriarch of the Zheng family, he couldn't possibly be unfamiliar with it. It was the most powerful weapon in the entire family's arsenal. Although it had only recently been developed, its power was truly astonishing.

He wanted to dodge, but it was too late at this moment. Ye Bufan had already pulled the trigger.

Having obtained Zheng Changxu's memories, he was adept at using this gun and felt no discomfort whatsoever.

The moment the trigger was pulled, a streak of azure light shot towards Zheng Shixun at an astonishing speed. There was no time for him to react or dodge.

"Ah!"

Zheng Se-hun let out a cry of alarm, and had no choice but to desperately circulate the true qi within his body, hoping to withstand the shot.

Ye Bufan was filled with anticipation. In fact, he could effortlessly slay the old man before him right now.

The reason for using a particle gun is to see its power and whether it's effective against Martial Saints.

After all, this is the latest tech product, and its true power hasn't been fully tested yet.

Under his gaze, the blue light struck Zheng Shixun's chest. Without lingering, it pierced through his protective true qi, and immediately afterward, a hole the size of a basketball opened at the spot on his chest.

What's most terrifying is that the hole appears to have simply dissolved, with no blood or flesh left behind. It was all vaporized by the particle beam.

"Ah!"

Looking at the large hole in his chest, Zheng Shixun let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"You brat, you wait! I won't let this go!"

By now he knew that his body was beyond repair, there was no chance of him surviving this. The most urgent thing was to escape as quickly as possible.

Immediately following, a phantom emerged from above his head, it was none other than his soul.

This guy's soul left his body and dashed straight back the way he came. He hadn't directly possessed Hua Ruyu before because the time wasn't right yet, and it wouldn't have had the best effect.

Now, there's no time to worry about anything else. Only by possessing a new body can I survive.

His spirit transformed into a streak of light and shot directly towards the distant villa.

In his eyes, even if the other party was faster, they couldn't stop his divine soul. As long as he possessed Huaruy, the other party would never find him again.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, already knowing this old fellow's plan. How could he not be prepared With a flash of light in his hand, a refining demon bottle flew out, instantly enveloping the air with an irresistible suction force.

"Um... what is this thing"

Zheng Shixun's primordial spirit let out an exclamation, but before he could figure out what was happening, he was instantly sucked into the magic bottle.

It all happened in the blink of an eye. Before those from the Zheng family could even react, their ancestor was gone, both body and spirit extinguished.

"That…"

Everyone's gaze fell upon Ye Bufan, their eyes filled with terror. Even the ancestor of the Zheng family was no match for him; how could they, mere mortals, possibly stand against such a formidable power

"From today onwards, the Zheng family will cease to exist. Those who wish to live, scram! Otherwise, death awaits!"

With Ye Bufan's roar, these people immediately fled in all directions, like birds and beasts scattering, hastily escaping from the Zheng family.

The core members of the Zheng family, spanning three generations, are all deceased. They wouldn't dare to remain here. Lingxi should have nothing to do with him.Chu Lingxi stood on Ye Bufan's other side, her expression just as cold and stern as his when looking at the people before them.After the arrival of the two w...
