"I wonder if your words can be trusted..." Zhu Bufan said.

Yuwen Gulan's fury completely took over his heart. If it were earlier, Yuwen Gulan might have spare Zhu Bufan in a moment of joy, but now, Yuwen Gulan had listed Zhu Bufan on his must-kill roster.

Therefore, no matter whether Zhu Bufan would release Yuwen Cangsong later or not, Yuwen Gulan was determined to kill Zhu Bufan.

"Trust...worthy..."

These two words were practically ground out between clenched teeth, reflecting the extent of Yuwen Gulan's anger.

"Oh, so you mean you're going to let me go..." Zhu Bufan stated.

"Yes..." Yuwen Gulan was truly out of patience. If possible, he would have taken action immediately, but Yuwen Gulan was also fiercely protective of his kin, hence, he was particularly concerned about the safety of his grandson, Yuwen Cangsong.

"That's good..." Zhu Bufan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmph..." Yuwen Gulan snorted coldly.

From Zhu Bufan's tone, everyone could tell that Zhu Bufan was likely about to let Yuwen Cangsong go. Some commended Zhu Bufan for recognizing the situation, while others scorned him.

They originally thought Zhu Bufan was incredibly stout-hearted, only to find he capitulated under pressure when someone more powerful intervened. Truly spineless.

At this moment, upon hearing Zhu Bufan's tone, Yuwen Cangsong also secretly heaved a great sigh of relief.

But then...

"Crack..." a noise rang out.

Following that, everyone looked at Zhu Bufan and Yuwen Cangsong in disbelief.

Because Yuwen Cangsong's neck had just been twisted and broken by Zhu Bufan.

Yuwen Gulan and Yuwen Gudao both stared in disbelief, stunned. They never expected Zhu Bufan to be so bold, especially since Zhu Bufan's recent manner of speaking had indicated his submission.

How?

What on earth had happened?

What had transpired?

No one voiced an answer, and Zhu Bufan couldn't afford to answer, not after killing Yuwen Cangsong. He dared not linger any longer.

While everyone was caught in a daze, Zhu Bufan seized the moment to make a quick escape!

Originally, Zhu Bufan never intended to spare Yuwen Cangsong—who had dared to covet his woman. Such an act was unforgivable, and Zhu Bufan was certain he would kill anyone who touched his woman.

The reason Zhu Bufan had prolonged the conversation with Yuwen Gulan was merely to buy time. After all, Zhou Xin needed time to get away with Ye Bing'er.

As soon as he saw Zhou Xin disappear with Ye Bing'er from his sight, Zhu Bufan took action.

"Ah... my son..." Yuwen Gudao cried out in an instant.

"You brat, let's see where you can run! You killed my grandson; you won't live to see another day..." Yuwen Gulan bellowed, chasing in the direction Zhu Bufan had fled.

Zhu Bufan thought he could escape, but he had severely underestimated the might of a Late Stage Realm master.

In just the blink of an eye, Yuwen Gulan caught up to him.

Upon catching up, Yuwen Gulan immediately struck towards the back of Zhu Bufan with a swift palm.

Zhu Bufan was astonished. He had not expected this at all! How could Yuwen Gulan be so fast? He had layered his spiritual power, so how could he still not escape?

Hearing the whooshing sound approaching from behind.

Zhu Bufan knew that if he ran any further, he would probably be solidly struck by this palm.

Bufan had no time to think further, and had to dodge to the side. At the same time, he released his spiritual power, forming a shield.

However...

With a loud "Bang...", Zhu Bufan unexpectedly failed to evade the attack from Yuwen Gulan!

"Damn..." Fear flashed in Bufan's eyes.

Had he not taken an extra precaution, he probably would have been on his way to meet King Yan by now.

Just now, Bufan had thought one step ahead and formed a spiritual power shield on his back, which was precisely why he was able to save his own life!

Without the shield, it was likely that Zhu Bufan would have been directly killed by Yuwen Gulan's palm.

The reason being, Bufan had deeply comprehended just how fearsome Yuwen Gulan's palm was, containing an exceedingly huge amount of energy. Even though his shield had blocked the majority of it,

the smaller part that got through shook Bufan's inner house as if it were about to explode.

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed from Bufan's mouth, and he was sent flying dozens of meters away.

Zhu Bufan had not expected that being just one Realm lower than Yuwen Gulan, the gap would be so vast.

It wasn't just a big gap; Zhu Bufan had never met such a formidable opponent, not even on the same level. Yuwen Gulan's palm strike left Zhu Bufan with no will to resist, only the instinct to dodge. Fortunately, he still had his spiritual power.

Otherwise, he would be dead by now!

"Brat... die..." After striking Zhu Bufan with a palm, Yuwen Gulan did not choose to stop there, refusing to give Bufan a chance to catch his breath.

It was obvious that Yuwen Gulan, furious over the death of his grandson Yuwen Cangsong at the hands of Zhu Bufan, was impatient to kill Bufan immediately.

In an instant, Yuwen Gulan charged at Bufan again, raising his hand to strike down on the crown of Bufan's head.

Seeing Yuwen Gulan charging towards him, Zhu Bufan certainly did not want to just wait for death.

Bufan wanted to move, but the palm that hit him by Yuwen Gulan had nearly shattered his inner house, causing Bufan to sustain extremely serious injuries, making any movement impossible at the moment.

Thus, at this moment, Bufan had no choice but to wait for death!

"It seems that I am bound to die today..." Bufan mocked himself inwardly.

He had thought he could resolve this matter smoothly, but now found himself in such a plight. However, Bufan had no regrets, for he had managed to save Ye Bing'er.

In that moment, Bufan smiled.

Yet Bufan wasn't willing to give in, because he truly did not understand why a difference of one Realm could be so enormous.

But at this moment, it was certain that no one would come forth to answer Bufan's question.

"Am I going to die?"

Bufan slowly closed his eyes, not because he didn't want to struggle any longer, but mainly because Yuwen Gulan was just too overpowering.

Yuwen Gulan reached Bufan's side and without hesitation struck down with his palm.

"Bang..."

A sound resonated.
