"How so? Is this all you are capable of? I haven't even lifted a finger yet. If this is all you can muster..." The red eyes glaring at Zhu Bufan, the Demon King spoke: "Then you might as well spend your whole life here, still dreaming of leaving the Demon Tower?"

"Furry bird! Dare you?" Emperor Yan, who had recovered, was enveloped in the pitch-black Wutian Black Flames, rushing toward the Demon King like a fireball. Due to the emergence of the Wutian Black Flames, the golden flames on the Demon King's body merely dimmed slightly, indicating that these golden flames were of a high-grade Beast Fire and might even be transformed from Exotic Spirit Qi.

"Emperor Yan, I have said before, though you still bear the title 'Emperor', your strength is far inferior. Just obediently watch from the side." Facing the charging Emperor Yan, the Demon King was calm, with a wave of his hand, the golden flames turned into a fiery net and enveloped Emperor Yan. Although inherently the golden flames could not compare to Emperor Yan's Wutian Black Flames, under the absolute control of the Demon King's power, the golden flames could still contend with the Wutian Black Flames.

The golden fiery net, full of immense strength, was thrown out, trapping Emperor Yan like a net cast from heaven, and no matter how much Emperor Yan struggled, he could not break free from the continuously burning golden fiery net. Seeing Emperor Yan bound by the golden fiery net, the Demon King waved his hand, sweeping the fiery net, with Emperor Yan inside, to the edge of the great hall.

"Kill!!"

A furious shout sounded, and the blood-colored soul shadow appeared behind Zhu Bufan, the surging killing intent diluting the oppressive force exerted by the Demon King. Once his limbs could move, Zhu Bufan drew the Emperor Yan's break army, and with a flick of his hand, transformed it into Purple Cloud.

"Blood Breaking the Sky!!"

Continuous sword qi flew out, streaks of blood-colored light shooting towards the Demon King. Seeing the Purple Cloud in Zhu Bufan's hands, the Demon King's expression drastically changed, but soon returned to cold arrogance.

"This level of swordsmanship is simply a disgrace to the existence of the Nine Sword Technique. If I were the Purple Cloud Sword Spirit, I would probably cry out thrice." Flicking his fingers, clusters of golden flames, like bullets, were shot out and landed on the sword qi, instantly resolving all the powerful sword energies of Blood Breaking the Sky.

"So, what about this? Chenjiang Duanliu Break? Overwhelming Sky Formation!!"

A cold shout came just as the Demon King broke his sword qi, Zhu Bufan broke free from the suppressive force of the Demon King and leaped up. After the Demon King had resolved the sword qi of Blood Breaking the Sky, Zhu Bufan directly threw out the Overwhelming Sky Formation from above towards the Demon King, with immense sword energy pouring down like a rushing river.

"Chenjiang Duanliu Break? Did Emperor Yan teach you that? Indeed, it's a fine swordsmanship, only you're still too green in using it." Saying this, the Demon King clapped his hands and all the sword energies in the sky collapsed. In the face of the force of space, however strong the martial arts are, they are of no help.

"I will repeat, if this is all you are capable of, you'd better not leave this place, since going back means nothing but death." As soon as his words ended, following the shattered sword energies, a sword light as brilliant as the Milky Way tore through the air, under which everything seemed to lose its proper color.

"Breaking Flow Formation!"

Zhu Bufan, his body covered in glowing red marks, unleashed the Overwhelming Sky Formation, immediately followed by the Breaking Flow Formation, and the true strike was the subsequent Breaking Flow Formation!

"Not bad in spirit, but as I've said, this is merely a decoration." With a light flick of his finger, a thumb-sized spatial collapse appeared right on the path of the Breaking Flow Formation swords, and in an instant, the grand momentum of the Breaking Flow Formation was sucked into this tiny spatial collapse, not even stirring a breath of wind.

"How is this possible..." Seeing his Breaking Flow Formation so easily destroyed by a flick of the Demon King's finger, Zhu Bufan, shrouded in killing intent, cried out in shock, a deep sense of helplessness surfacing. Zhu Bufan realized that no matter what he tried, not to mention hurting the Demon King, it seemed impossible even to make his robe flutter.

"Have you given up? It's normal after all, the difference in strength cannot be bridged by mere effort." The Demon King glanced indifferently at Zhu Bufan, his tone devoid of any emotion, neither commendation nor contempt, as if he was speaking to a lifeless puppet.

"Furry bird! Ready to repay for the crime of insulting this Emperor?" Just then, Emperor Yan's familiar yet strange voice came again. Turning his head, Zhu Bufan saw that Emperor Yan had returned to his fourteen-year-old appearance from the last time the seal was broken, his pitch-black eyes devoid of any spirit, like dead water.

"Broken free? Faster than I imagined. Give up, as I have said, right now, Emperor Yan, you have only the title but not the strength, and all I wanted was to see to what level the heir of the Martial King Pattern has reached." Without turning back, the Demon King responded upon hearing Emperor Yan's words.

"Ha ha ha ha… 'Emperor' by name only? You mere 'king' named individuals, how could you understand the meaning conveyed by the title 'Emperor'? You think you can overpower me? That's utterly preposterous!"

While speaking, the Wutian Black Flame on Emperor Yan's body surged out like a hurricane, and seeing that doll-like emotionless expression on Emperor Yan, Zhu Bufan suddenly realized that he didn't understand this little girl at all.

"O Demon King, don't let me kill you with one move, otherwise, I'd find it rather boring." A pair of eyes, devoid of any vitality and engulfed in endless darkness, fell upon the Demon King. Emperor Yan's delicate hands swiftly began forming seals, and it was the first time Zhu Bufan saw Emperor Yan performing a seal.

"Emperor Seal? Thunder Move Nine Heavens."

In an instant, an extremely terrifying aura burst forth from Emperor Yan's petite body, and a mysterious and profound light imprint charged directly at the Demon King.

Feeling an aura no less terrifying than ancient Fierce Beasts, the originally calm face of the Demon King was finally replaced with shock. Extreme terror and overpowering energy filled the hall, making the Demon King realize he had no confidence in withstanding the attack launched by Emperor Yan.

"Is this the power possessed by someone of the 'Emperor' level? Are you kidding me? Even though my own strength has declined so much, even though it's just the prelude to the technique, does it still have the ability to make me afraid?" Turning his head to look at Emperor Yan, who was suspended mid-air surrounded by black flames and Thunder Light, the Demon King finally spoke.

"But unfortunately, with your current body, it's too forced." Shaking his head, the Demon King didn't attempt to counter Emperor Yan's move but sighed and continued, "You know best that you can't use such a technique now, Emperor Yan."

"Even if I were to vanish, I want this scraggy bird to know the consequences of disrespecting me!" Emperor Yan's emotionless eyes didn't flicker at all, the light imprint in front of her became a bit clearer, while her petite body seemed to fade a bit as if it was about to disappear.

"Stop it! Emperor Yan!!"

At that moment, Zhu Bufan's angry shout echoed in the hall, his sudden fury causing the Demon King to turn his head in confusion, and upon hearing Zhu Bufan's voice, a struggling expression appeared on Emperor Yan's face.

"Emperor Yan! I said, stop it!!" With a move, Zhu Bufan rushed towards Emperor Yan with a look of surprise in the Demon King's eyes, disregarding the terrifying aura emitted by Emperor Yan as she executed her move. Seeing Zhu Bufan rushing towards her, Emperor Yan, fearing harming Zhu Bufan, quickly retracted the Emperor Seal, instantly suppressing the raging black flames and black lightning.

"What are you doing? Back off!! I want this scruffy bird to reflect on their words and deeds properly! How dare they insult me repeatedly! I want them to pay a blood price!" Staring intently at the Demon King nearby, Emperor Yan shouted loudly to Zhu Bufan.

"Nonsense!!"

Zhu Bufan shouted angrily again, not only confusing the Demon King but also leaving Emperor Yan dumbfounded, her gaze shifting from the Demon King to Zhu Bufan.

"You know best what your condition is now. What if you disappear after using such a technique? Listen to me and stop it immediately! Let me handle this so-called Demon King! You just stand aside and watch, and if you're worried, then come back inside the Demon Tower with me and we'll face him together!"

"You fool! Do you not know what realm this scruffy bird's strength has reached? If I don't make a move..." Before Emperor Yan could finish, Zhu Bufan's fist struck her head again, and in an instant, the dazed Emperor Yan's eyes regained clarity, and the terrifying prelude to the Emperor Seal disappeared.

"The real fool is you!" Looking at Emperor Yan who pouted, Zhu Bufan continued, "I know very well what your physical condition is like. Using such a technique could seriously harm your body, and you might even disappear, right? If you really disappeared, what would I do afterwards?"

After saying that, Zhu Bufan touched Emperor Yan's smooth hair and spoke, "Leave the future matters to me, don't worry, I won't lose. You should stop doing these dangerous things, ok? Children should act like children, don't be reckless."

"I am not a child!"

"You are now!" After gently tapping Emperor Yan's head again, Zhu Bufan's tone left no room for doubt.

"Ha ha ha ha" Boisterous laughter erupted. Zhu Bufan suddenly realized that the oppressive aura and strange energy engulfing the surroundings had vanished, "Interesting! Heir of the Martial King Pattern, you're much more interesting than I thought! Although completely a mess in strength, you have the courage to strike at someone of 'Emperor' status, truly very interesting! Fine, I'll consider this a pass for now."
