Chapter 3626: Just a slap in the face

“This…”

Jacqueline and the others’ expressions changed. Ye Bufan had just used flames to burn the Phoenix to death, and now he was using a lightning-element Magic Treasure to counter their lightning. This was practically a slap in the face.

Flick’s face, in particular, was extremely grim.

“Ignorant Hua Xia person, this is a forbidden spell, not something you can contend with!”

As he spoke, he waved the staff in his hand, and the lightning in mid-air began to strike down with crackling sounds.

The boundless sea of thunder was astonishingly powerful, but unfortunately, he was facing Ye Bufan.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl was no longer the Heavenly Thunder Pearl of the past; it was now an Immortal Artifact, an existence beyond this Realm. So what if the other party used a forbidden spell?

As soon as those lightning powers struck down, they instantly encountered an immense attraction. Instead of striking Ye Bufan, they were completely absorbed by the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

The originally overwhelming sea of thunder disappeared in just a few breaths.

“I…”

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the magicians present nearly popped out of their sockets.

This was a forbidden spell, and for them, Western magicians, it was a supreme existence, unconquerable and unresolvable.

But now, their understanding was completely refreshed. Not only did the forbidden spell fail, but it was also easily broken by someone, seemingly without any difficulty.

“What is this thing?”

Flick was even more stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.

He had never imagined that one day, a forbidden spell he had cast with all his might would be defeated by a single pearl.

“How can you understand my Hua Xia Dao Body?”

Ye Bufan snorted disdainfully, then cast a Dao Body. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the Heavenly Thunder Pearl directly struck down with a bolt of lightning.

Compared to the opponent’s forbidden spell just now, this lightning bolt was more than ten times thicker, like a giant lightning Dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced towards Flick.

“This…”

As a Saint Magician, Flick’s strength far surpassed that of others, having reached the Realm of instant spellcasting.

Though surprised, he remained calm, deploying seven shields in front of him one after another.

But in the end, he was astonished to find that his efforts were completely futile in front of the other party.

These shields might have been impenetrable to other magicians, but in front of this thick lightning, they were like paper, offering no obstruction whatsoever.

“Boom…”

The thunder flashed, and the seven shields, along with Flick, vanished from their original spot, completely turning into Void Realm by the power of lightning.

The dignified Saint Magician, who once believed he possessed immense power in this world, ultimately couldn’t even withstand a single move.

Jacqueline, Hivar, and all the other magicians nearby were filled with fear in their eyes.

They had previously thought that with their powerful strength and geographical advantage, they could easily handle anyone from Hua Xia who came here.

The successive elimination of ten members of the Vermillion Bird Squad, plus Situ Changkong, further solidified this idea in their minds.

But now, the Young man before them completely overturned their previous perceptions, realizing that Hua Xia’s strength far exceeded their imagination. No wonder the previous Crusades were easily resolved by the other side.

Ye Bufan looked at their astonished expressions, a hint of playfulness on his face.

His current strength was simply beyond their imagination. Attacking these people was like a dimensionality reduction strike, practically bullying them.

But there was no other way; some people in this world just didn’t know their place.

“Who’s next?”

The magicians immediately fell silent. The opponent was simply too powerful; someone who could easily resolve even a forbidden spell was not someone they could contend with.

“Hua Xia person, don’t be arrogant. Don’t forget your people are still in my hands!”

As he spoke, he waved his hand backward, and countless wind blades whistled out, completely tearing the bamboo building where Situ Changkong and the others were located into pieces.

And those people, still bound by the wind spell, remained suspended in mid-air, unable to move an inch.

Situ Changkong, Yun Qianxue, Ding Meiqi, and the others, seeing Ye Bufan, were all filled with excitement, their eyes shining.

“Brat, you really didn’t disappoint this old man at the critical moment!”

Situ Changkong burst into hearty laughter, laughing with great satisfaction.

Yun Qianxue’s beautiful eyes sparkled. She didn't speak, but a tempest raged in her heart.

After so many years, she finally saw this person again. He was still as handsome and as young as before, seemingly unchanged.

Just standing there quietly, he exuded an Aura of looking down upon the world.

Ye Bufan smiled and waved to everyone: “Everyone, don’t worry, you’ll be fine with me here.”

Jacqueline secretly rejoiced, thinking that her previous decision was correct—holding so many people in her hands. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to cope now.

“Hua Xia person, kneel down and surrender now, or they will all die!”

In her opinion, since Ye Bufan cared so much about these people, she had leverage for negotiation.

She would set the price high first, so even if the other party haggled later, she could still make a hefty profit.

But unexpectedly, Ye Bufan showed no panic; instead, his eyes were full of disdain.

“Do you think you can threaten me?”

Jacqueline was stunned for a moment: “What do you mean? Don’t you care about their lives?”

Ye Bufan shook his head: “These are all my Hua Xia people. Not only can not a single one die, but even if you touch a single strand of their hair, you’ll have to kneel and put it back for me!”

“Hua Xia person, are you out of your mind? Don’t you know they are in my hands?”

Jacqueline didn’t quite understand his meaning and said forcefully, “If you can’t satisfy me today, all these people will die.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: “Threatening me, are you? It’s a pity you’re thinking too much. As a weakling, you don’t have the right to negotiate with me at all.”

“You won’t shed tears until you see the coffin!”

In Jacqueline’s view, the other party was so confident because he thought she wouldn’t dare to kill anyone.

She raised her hand and waved: “Kill one first, let him see our methods.”

“Yes!”

Hivar, standing nearby, responded and made his move.

As a Saint Magician, he also reached the Realm of instant spellcasting.

With just a wave of his staff, thousands of sharp wind blades swept towards Ding Meiqi.

Wind Dance, an eighth-tier magic spell.

Being able to cast an eighth-tier magic spell with a mere raise of his hand showed his immense strength, even stronger than the Flick from earlier.

The greatest characteristic of wind-attribute magic was its speed. Precisely because of this, everyone thought Ding Meiqi was certain to die.

Jacqueline had a cold smile on her lips. This was the effect she wanted; she wanted to kill one to warn the others, to make the other party feel fear, otherwise, there would be no way to negotiate.

But suddenly, her expression changed, her pupils dilated, as if she had seen a ghost.

A figure appeared in front of Ding Meiqi at some unknown point, and it was another Ye Bufan.

He merely raised his hand and waved, and the powerful Wind Dance instantly dissipated into the Void Realm, without causing the slightest reaction.
