Chapter 4040 Goodbye Man in Black

The Middle-aged Man hurriedly came to the registration desk and filled out his information. Ye Bufan glanced at him; the man's name was Mu Ji.

For Aptitude verification, he took out an Alchemist badge with ten golden stars on it.

Yin Tong curled his lips. Now that he had entered the Ranks of Twelfth-Order Celestial Alchemist, he completely disregarded any Rank below that.

Although a Tenth-Order Immortal Pill Master was two Ranks higher than Ye Bufan, in his eyes, he was still just a minor character.

"A Tenth-Order good-for-nothing is in such a hurry to register? What's the point? He might as well just sleep soundly at home."

He was originally a sarcastic and harsh person, and now his mockery was even more unbridrained.

Mu Ji seemed to have heard nothing. After finishing the registration, he picked up his contestant token and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, quickly disappearing.

"Let's go too."

After Mu Ji left, Ye Bufan took Hua Qiqi and also left the place.

Outside the crowd, he found a secluded spot and said to the two of them, "You two go back first, I have some things to attend to."

Hua Qiqi said, "Young Master Ye, do you want me to go with you? I'm quite familiar with Tiansheng City."

"No need, it's inconvenient if there are too many people for what I'm doing."

Ye Bufan smiled at the two of them, then turned and left, quickly passing through the west gate of the city.

After leaving the city, he did not stop, rushing forward at high speed. About an hour later, he stopped in an extremely remote and desolate place.

The location here was just right; he could rush back to Tiansheng City in an hour, and any movement wouldn't alarm the powerful cultivators there.

He chose a smooth stone and sat on it, waiting quietly here.

That's right, he was waiting.

Earlier, when the Middle-aged Man brushed past him, he felt a trace of Chaos Qi.

The Qi was very faint, so faint that if he hadn't Cultivated the Chaotic Immortal Art, even a Saint Emperor wouldn't have been able to sense it.

These were secondary; what was important was that the Chaos Qi came from a chaotic spiritual treasure.

In the Immortal Realm, chaotic spiritual treasures were already extremely rare, and a low-Rank Immortal could not possibly possess one.

And that person was only a Tenth-Order Immortal Pill Master, yet he had the Qi of a chaotic spiritual treasure on him, which meant his identity was already obvious.

The Black-Clothed Man, the same Black-Clothed Man he encountered in the Mixian Ancient Realm.

Originally, these were all Ye Bufan's conjectures, but when that person left, although his gaze swept over him without any pause, he still felt a hint of Killing Intent.

He was certain that the Black-Clothed Man's greatest desire was to kill him, and his greatest desire was to seize the Sun-Extinguishing Bow, but for some reason, despite waiting for so long, the other party hadn't appeared.

Now that the other party suddenly showed up, normally he would definitely come looking for him.

This discovery made Ye Bufan very excited. The other party wanted to snatch his Sun-Extinguishing Bow, and he also wanted to snatch the other party's condensing spirit fruit.

If it were before, he might have been a bit hesitant to take such a risk. After all, that guy was powerful and could control space, making him truly difficult to deal with.

But now it was different; he had a Five-Rank Saint Emperor's Clone jade talisman on him.

As long as he summoned Qin Fei for help, taking down the other party shouldn't be difficult at all, and it wouldn't harm the Clone.

It was precisely for this reason that he separated from Hua Qiqi and came out alone.

It was to give the Black-Clothed Man a chance to act, and also to create an opportunity for himself to seize the condensing spirit fruit.

About half an hour passed, and the surroundings were still empty, with no one in sight.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. Could it be that he had misjudged, and the other party didn't want to snatch the Sun-Extinguishing Bow? But he couldn't imagine why.

And just now, he clearly felt Killing Intent in the other party's eyes; he definitely wanted to kill him quickly.

But if he wanted to kill and seize treasure, why hadn't he appeared yet? Could it be that he was afraid of him, knowing that he had a Saint Emperor Clone?

But that was also impossible to imagine. He hadn't even told Hua Qiqi and Xia Qingying this secret. The only ones who knew were Sword Emperor and Qin Fei, and it was even less likely for those two to reveal it.

While he was thinking, a figure suddenly flashed, and a young man appeared in his line of sight.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. It wasn't the Black-Clothed Man he was waiting for, but Qu Heng from the Xingyao Sect.

He knew this guy was pursuing Hua Qiqi, but now the most important thing was to find the Black-Clothed Man and seize the condensing spirit fruit. He had no time to deal with the other party.

Qu Heng, however, sneered, completely unaware of what the other party was thinking. In his eyes, the other party was just scared of him.

"Boy, do you know fear now? Too late!

How dare you compete with this Young Master for a woman? You're destined for death.

He came from the Xingyao Sect, one of the three Immortal Pill Masters trained by the Sect, and also the son of the Eighth Elder. He had always acted overbearingly.

Earlier, when he saw Hua Qiqi being so close to Ye Bufan, Killing Intent arose in his heart.

He was originally worried about how to find an opportunity to act, but he didn't expect the other party to actually leave the city on his own. This was simply seeking death.

"I don't have time for you, get lost!"

Ye Bufan was very annoyed with such pampered Disciples from large Sects, and besides, he really had something important to do now.

If this guy disturbed the Black-Clothed Man, it would ruin his important plan.

Qu Heng was stunned for a moment, then his face turned ferocious, his eyes filled with Killing Intent.

"Boy, I really don't know who gave you the guts to act so arrogant in front of this Young Master at this time."

Seeing that this guy was determined to seek death, Ye Bufan's eyes turned cold.

"I am now a Disciple of the Bao Dan Sect and have already registered for the Dan Wang Competition. How dare you lay a hand on me? Aren't you afraid of punishment?"

"Boy, you're trying to scare me with that? Normally, in Tiansheng City, I really wouldn't dare to touch you, but you insisted on seeking death yourself."

Qu Heng revealed a mocking smile, "I left the city without alarming anyone, and there's no third person nearby. Who would know if I killed you?"

"So that's how it is. It's good that no one knows!"

Determining that it would not have any impact on him, Ye Bufan no longer had any reservations and directly threw a punch.

"You dare to strike first…"

Qu Heng wanted to intimidate the other party first, and then slowly kill him, but he didn't expect the other party to strike first.

He raised his hand and met the punch. In his mind, the other party was just an Eighth-Order Immortal Pill Master, whose strength couldn't be that great. Compared to him, an Immortal Emperor Early Stage, he was just an ant.

But he never expected that the moment his fist collided with Ye Bufan's, a violent force of thunder instantly tore his Meridians to shreds, followed by a powerful destructive Qi that rushed directly into his internal organs.

"This…"

This punch scared him to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. He never dreamed that the weakling in his eyes would be so powerful. Was such formidable strength that of an Immortal Emperor middle stage or Late Stage?

At this moment, he regretted it. If he had known how powerful the other person was, he wouldn't have dared to run out to kill and silence him, or fight over a woman, even with a hundred times the courage.

"You can't kill me, my father is the Eighth Elder of the Xingyao Sect…" He grasped at the only sliver of hope, trying to intimidate the other party with his Sect background, but before he could finish speaking, the second punch heavily struck his chest.
