Chapter 1862: Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge

“All of you, scram!”

Seeing this, Hu Yaoyao roared and prepared to come back to rescue, but unexpectedly, the long whip in her hand was bitten by the Ironclad Lizard King, giving her no chance.

Facing the Ironclad Lizards surrounding them, Ye Bufan looked at Xie Anbang next to him.

“Great Hero Xie, your chance to show off has arrived! Hurry and make your move!”

Xie Anbang had just faced one Ironclad Lizard and was beaten to the point of spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. Now that so many had come, where would he find the courage to make a move?

Zhou Qingchen was the same; both of them, by coincidence, hid behind Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan looked at the two of them and said mockingly, “I hide behind a woman, and now you two are hiding behind me. Aren’t you being a bit too shameless?”

Their lives were more important than their faces. At this moment, Xie Anbang and Zhou Qingchen, by coincidence, lowered their heads, saying nothing, just trying to hide for as long as possible.

“Alright, you go to the back too.”

Ye Bufan no longer bothered with the two of them. He reached out and pulled Zuo Xiaoqing, who was愣ing beside him, behind him as well.

Looking at the approaching Ironclad Lizards, he secretly sighed. It seemed that he couldn't maintain his low profile anymore.

Just as he was about to make a move, three figures suddenly sped through the sky.

“You beast, die!”

With an angry roar, a green Sword Light, like a long chain, slashed down, directly at the Ironclad Lizard King.

“Woo-aoh…”

The Ironclad Lizard King felt a huge crisis. It opened its mouth, released Hu Yaoyao’s long whip, and roared, preparing to dodge.

Unfortunately, the opponent’s Sword Light was too fast. It instantly arrived above its head and slashed fiercely at its neck.

With a sound of 'pfft', blood splattered. The Ironclad Lizard King’s defense was instantly broken, and then a massive head was severed.

The one who acted was a young man in his twenties, his white clothes fluttering, holding a golden longsword in his hand. He had a handsome appearance and looked imposing.

From his Aura, his cultivation was also at the Refining Void Realm Early Stage, comparable in strength to Hu Yaoyao.

It was just that the treasured sword in his hand was sharp, posing a fatal threat to the Ironclad Lizard King, which allowed him to kill it in one strike.

At the same time, two other figures landed in front of Ye Bufan. One was a young man in his twenties, dressed in black, holding a longsword.

The other was a tall girl, wearing a water-green long dress, with a ponytail tied behind her head. Her delicate face, coupled with a sharp Aura,

gave off a heroic and valiant feeling.

Both of them had already reached the Soul Transformation Peak cultivation. Their longswords swung continuously, and the Ironclad Lizards in front of them were sent flying one after another.

The other Ironclad Lizards, seeing the Ironclad Lizard King slain, immediately scattered in panic, fleeing in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

With the arrival of these three people, the critical situation that had just been hanging by a thread was instantly resolved.

The white-clothed man put away the golden sword in his hand and looked at Hu Yaoyao with an eager expression: “Miss, are you unharmed?”

He had seen countless beautiful women over the years, but one as beautiful and charming as the one before him was truly unique. It was precisely because of this that he had personally come to her rescue.

“Thank you, I’m fine.”

Hu Yaoyao merely nodded slightly. Her figure flashed, and she arrived beside Ye Bufan, reaching out and taking his arm, “Xiao Age, are you alright? Are you hurt?”

When the white-clothed man saw this, although a faint smile still hung on his face, his eyes instantly turned cold.

The woman he fancied was so intimate with another man. If he were a strong cultivator, it would be one thing, but the key was that he was an insignificant Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivator. This made him feel uncomfortable no matter what.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: “I’m fine. With you here, what could happen to me?”

At this moment, Xie Anbang and his two Junior Siblings no longer hid. They all stepped forward and bowed to the three who had come to their rescue.

“Thank you, three Young Masters, for your timely rescue. I am Xie Anbang of the Iron Sword Sect, and I thank you.”

“It’s nothing, just a small favor.” The white-clothed man said with a kind smile, “I am Di Rong. This is my Junior Brother Feng Danian and my Junior Sister Chen Youyou.”

Then he looked around at everyone, “May I ask your names?”

Xiang Zhuang’s Sword Intent was aimed at Pei Gong. In truth, he didn’t care about the identities of Xie Anbang and the others. His purpose was to ask for Hu Yaoyao’s name.

“Young Master, my name is Zuo Xiaoqing!”

Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Di Rong, her eyes filled with eagerness and adoration.

This man before her was simply perfect. In terms of cultivation, he was far stronger than her Senior Brother Xie Anbang; he could slay the Ironclad Lizard King with a single sword.

In terms of appearance, he was definitely handsome, though slightly less so than Ye Bufan next to him.

But that pretty boy was just a freeloader, with a Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivation, even inferior to herself, so he could be automatically ignored.

In Zuo Xiaoqing’s view, she had met her ideal man. It was just unfortunate that Di Rong’s attention was not on her at all. He merely nodded slightly,

and then looked at Hu Yaoyao next to him.

“My name is Hu Yaoyao, and this is my man, Ye Bufan.”

Although Hu Yaoyao’s thought process was somewhat unique, she was absolutely intelligent and as cunning as a little fox. She immediately saw through the other party’s intentions and directly stated Ye Bufan’s identity.

“Oh!”

Di Rong glanced at Ye Bufan, confirming once again that the other party only had Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, and his disdain grew even stronger.

“Miss Yaoyao truly has remarkable cultivation. To have reached the Soul Transformation Stage at such a young age, I am truly filled with admiration.”

He had no intention of giving up. How could a Nascent Soul Stage waste be compared to a talented young man like himself?

He believed that it wouldn’t be long before this woman would make the most correct choice.

After a round of flattery, Di Rong asked again, “Miss Yaoyao, where are you planning to go?”

Hu Yaoyao said, “We are heading to Red Glow Peak in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.”

“Is that so? What a coincidence, we are also going there.” Di Rong said cheerfully, “Miss Yaoyao, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, with all kinds of Yao Beasts appearing endlessly.

How about we travel together? We can look out for each other.”

Hu Yaoyao did not answer immediately but turned to look at Ye Bufan.

“Sure, since Young Master Di has the interest, then we will go together.”

Ye Bufan immediately agreed.

He could tell that these people not only had impressive cultivation but also were very likely after the seven star grass.

In this situation, going together would be better, saving them from getting there first.

But just as his words fell, Xie Anbang next to him said disdainfully, “You, a pretty boy who relies on women, what right do you have to go to Red Glow Peak?

At that time, you’ll only be a burden to others. I think you should just go back obediently.”

This guy had been holding a grudge against Ye Bufan and also saw that Di Rong had intentions toward Hu Yaoyao.

Even if he couldn't have such a prime woman himself, he wouldn't let this pretty boy benefit, which was why he mocked him.

Ye Bufan immediately became unhappy. This guy had just been hiding behind him, and now he was jumping out to mock him for freeloading, a typical case of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.

“I say, how are you speaking? What’s wrong with me being a pretty boy? What’s wrong with me freeloading? Am I eating your family’s rice or your family’s flour?”
