"Hahahahaha!" Yue Zhengyun laughed heartily upon seeing the two men poisoned.
"This teapot of mine is no ordinary teapot. It is the Yin-Yang Pot. The tea I pour for you contains poison. However, within my teapot, I only need to move the tea cake on the teapot, and I can dissolve the antidote into the tea I pour later," Yue Zhengyun chuckled proudly.
"What are you waiting for? Come and tie them up!" Yue Zhengyun said to Yue Zhuoying.
Yue Zhuoying and Yue Yangshuo stepped forward and tied up Ye Bufan and Zhu Zizhen.
"Divine Doctor Zhu, Mr. Ye, this poison of mine is not an ordinary one. It is the Seven-Inch Intestinal Rupture that I specially prepared for you," Yue Zhengyun declared. "I have two antidotes here. One can directly cure all the poison, and the other is a phased one. The one that resolves the poison all at once has already been used in this pot of tea."
"With this phased antidote, if I don't give it to you when the time comes, your intestines will fester and rot inch by inch," Yue Zhengyun said, looking at Zhu Zizhen. "As long as you are willing to cure my poison, I will naturally give you the antidote."
"If you remain stubborn, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Ye Bufan! I never imagined you would end up like this!" Yue Yangshuo excitedly kicked Ye Bufan's leg.
Then, Yue Yangshuo turned to Yue Zhengyun and said, "Grandpa, you only need Zhu Zizhen for the antidote. You can leave this Ye Bufan to me."
"Don't cause too much trouble that I have to clean up for you," Yue Zhengyun warned Yue Yangshuo, glancing at him.
"Seven-Inch Intestinal Rupture. It is indeed a very rare poison."
Just as Yue Yangshuo was about to drag Ye Bufan away, Ye Bufan spoke. Yue Yangshuo, with a ferocious expression, found that he couldn't even move Ye Bufan.
"Uncle Kong. Hurry and help me!" Yue Yangshuo called out to the middle-aged man.
The great Martial Venerable walked to Yue Yangshuo's side, glanced at Ye Bufan, and pulled hard on Yue Yangshuo's rope. Ye Bufan flew out in the direction of the pull.
In mid-air, the ropes binding Ye Bufan immediately shattered. From Ye Bufan's chest, a broken sword appeared out of nowhere and lunged towards the great Martial Venerable named Kong.
The opponent reacted quickly, pulling Yue Yangshuo and leaping up. Ye Bufan's hidden sword curved in mid-air.
Seeing this, the great Martial Venerable's sleeve fluttered, and a flying knife shot out from his sleeve, colliding with the broken sword. With a "clang," the flying knife was instantly cut in half by the broken sword.
"Tiger Subduing Palm!"
A tiger's roar echoed, and a palm print appeared in mid-air. The palm wind was sharp and collided with the broken sword, causing it to fly back into Ye Bufan's hand.
Ye Bufan turned and walked to Zhu Zizhen's side, untied his ropes, then drew silver needles from his spatial jade pendant and inserted them into Zhu Zizhen's stomach.
Zhu Zizhen was now also a cultivator and had some resistance to this poison. Ye Bufan channeled his true energy into the silver needles. Zhu Zizhen finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Operate the cultivation technique I taught you until all the toxins are expelled," Ye Bufan instructed Zhu Zizhen, then gently sent him over to sit on a sofa not far away.
Ye Bufan turned back to face Yue Zhengyun, who stumbled back a few steps in panic.
"You... you... you're not poisoned," Yue Zhengyun stammered. He shouted to the great Martial Venerable on the side, "Kong Binbai, hurry up and come here! Don't forget what you promised my father back then."
Kong Binbai was the name of the great Martial Venerable. He leaped forward and instantly appeared before Yue Zhengyun.
"With me here, you can't kill him," Kong Binbai said.
"Oh? And what if I insist on killing him?" Ye Bufan smiled. He had waited for a long time. He thought that by provoking Yue Yangshuo and Yue Zhuoying earlier, they would try to kill him, giving him a reason to act. But after waiting for so many days, Yue Yangshuo and Yue Zhuoying had shown no signs of action.
Now, Yue Zhengyun had poisoned him in order to resolve his own poison. It would be a waste not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.
"Then we'll see about your skills."
"Tiger Subduing Palm!" Kong Binbai was the first to strike Ye Bufan with a palm. Ye Bufan formed a sword seal with his hand, and his entire body radiated intense sword intent. His sword-finger met Kong Binbai's palm. Kong Binbai's palm could only withstand it for five seconds before Ye Bufan's sword-finger drew a wound.
Kong Binbai's pupils dilated; he could hardly believe his eyes.
Before he could make another move, Ye Bufan preempted him. The broken sword flew towards Kong Binbai. Kong Binbai, unhurriedly, swung his sleeve again, and a flying knife appeared in his hand.
Kong Binbai calmly spun the flying knife in his hand, and it finally flew into the air, forming a silvery-white circle.
Ye Bufan sensed the fluctuation of true energy within Kong Binbai. For a moment, Ye Bufan seemed to realize that the man might be a cultivator.
"Lu He Saber Technique!"
Numerous saber shadows appeared in mid-air, or rather, many small sabers were formed.
"Interesting," Ye Bufan chuckled. He hadn't expected Kong Binbai to be such a skilled saber user.
Ye Bufan summoned his broken sword as well. Instantly, his back was filled with the afterimages of the broken sword. Kong Binbai, seeing this, broke out in a cold sweat.
"Go!" Kong Binbai shouted.
Ye Bufan's broken sword also moved, flying towards Kong Binbai's flying knives.
"Sword Qi Rolling Dragon!" The broken sword sliced through the air, its sword qi transforming into an invisible great dragon that churned the entire room. In an instant, Kong Binbai's clothes were torn to shreds, and his flying knives were completely destroyed by Ye Bufan's broken sword.
"Tiger Subduing Palm! Tiger Descending the Mountain!"
Kong Binbai didn't hesitate. With his flying knives destroyed, he switched to close-quarters combat.
"Two Sleeves Azure Snake!" The broken sword's sword qi split into two, transforming into two swords. The sword qi moved like two azure snakes, constantly weaving around Kong Binbai's body.
"Tiger Subduing Form!"
Kong Binbai's combat experience was rich. Even under Ye Bufan's Zi Xu Sword Art, he managed to hold on.
"Sucking Palm!" Ye Bufan used his Sucking Palm on Kong Binbai, completely disrupting his rhythm.
"Illusionary Sound Demonic Eye!" Ye Bufan's eyes glowed with black light. The moment Kong Binbai looked at Ye Bufan, he froze.
Ye Bufan amplified the Illusionary Sound Demonic Eye. Behind Ye Bufan, a pair of giant eyes also appeared. Yue Zhengyun, Yue Zhuoying, and Yue Yangshuo, upon seeing the giant eyes, fell into an illusion, their faces contorted in pain.
"Hmph!" Ye Bufan unleashed the Illusionary Sound Demonic Eye to its full extent for the first time. The entire space immediately turned dark and gloomy.
In just five seconds, Yue Yangshuo let out a frantic scream and collapsed onto the floor. A warm liquid soaked his crotch as he continuously cried out, "Don't come closer, don't come closer!"
