A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

Cheng Jiuyuan made his move.

Without any fancy moves, the withered body swayed slightly and came to Ye Feng's side, a somewhat graceful arm reaching out to Ye Feng's chest.

That grab was silent, yet it sent chills down Ye Feng's spine...

Almost relying on his years of experience in murder and arson, he retreated rapidly while simultaneously throwing a punch that struck the withered hand.

"Bang!"

The moment the two made contact, Ye Feng felt a powerful, ancient, and endless internal force flowing through his fist, causing his blood to surge and making him take three steps backward. With each step, a small footprint was left on the bluestone floor.

Cheng Jiuyuan, however, remained completely unmoved.

Ye Feng felt a chill in his heart.

He used 7% of his strength in that punch, but his opponent didn't move an inch.

Such a level of cultivation is beyond what even experts can describe.

Despite his advanced age, the old monster, standing with his hands behind his back, seemed to casually brush off the dust from his clothes, disdainfully ignoring the punch he had just unleashed.

Each step he took was outside of Ye Feng's aura, leaving him no opportunity to unleash his next punch.

cunning and treacherous.

He was one of the most experienced old guys Ye Feng encountered on his way down the mountain.

Without resorting to brute force or direct confrontation, he subdued the tiger using only his unfathomable strength.

"What an overbearing peak of power," the old demon said coldly. "But it's a pity that being too forceful can easily break your back. Your true energy, even if you're a genius, is still a bit too immature."

Ye Feng wiped away a small pool of blood that had trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Ye Feng admitted to himself that, in terms of cultivation level alone, he was indeed no match for this old guy.

The source of that power was too profound, long and deep, like an unfathomable ancient pool. Even if his peak power was strong, it would only cause a tiny ripple when it struck.

And the most crucial point is that if Cheng Jiuyuan gets entangled with her, he won't be able to protect Lin Yuqing.

This is the same as what happened at his warehouse and at Tingtao Pavilion; his fatal flaw has always been the frail woman behind him.

It's obvious that the old demon has also noticed this.

He avoided Ye Feng and lunged at Lin Yuqing with a withered hand.

Several times, it brushed past Ye Feng's defenses and was about to grab Lin Yuqing.

Ye Feng was furious.

Yet they were unable to take action.

If he attacks with all his might, Lin Yuqing will fall into the hands of the opponent; if he defends with all his might, he will eventually be worn down by this old monster.

He was like a persistent, vicious dog, who identified his fatal flaw and relentlessly bit him.

After several rounds, Ye Feng's vest was soaked with cold sweat.

If they continue playing like this, losing is inevitable.

Ye Feng was forced into a corner and could only defend again and again, gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.

"Ye Feng!" Lin Yuqing cried out in alarm and panic, clutching his clothes tightly. "Don't worry about me! You can escape on your own!"

"Shut up!" Ye Feng said without even turning his head, then kicked over another follower who was trying to rush forward in the chaos. "Run together!"

However, Ye Feng knew very well that if this stalemate continued, Cheng Jiuyuan would find an opportunity sooner or later.

However, at this critical moment, something unexpected happened.

Cheng Jiuyuan's grab was incredibly fast, once again evading Ye Feng's interception, and went straight for Lin Yuqing's shoulder. Just as those withered claws were about to strike...

This time, Lin Yuqing did not simply close her eyes and wait for death to come, as she had done before. In the few days since her meridians merged, her thousand-year-old pure yin, which had already awakened, was much more active and full of vitality than before.

In this life-or-death situation, a surge of pure Yin energy suddenly erupted from Lin Yuqing's body. Just as Cheng Jiuyuan's withered claws were about to strike, it transformed into an invisible envelope of cold energy, forcefully blocking Cheng Jiuyuan's attack.

"Huh?" Cheng Jiuyuan withdrew her hand and stepped back. The surprise in her eyes eventually turned into deep astonishment. After all, it was the first time she had witnessed Lin Yuqing's ability to control her qi to protect herself, and this ability was even faster than the legends!

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then became excited.

He learned that the Meridian Harmony not only prevented Lin Yuqing from suffering damage during the Qi transfer, but also allowed the pure Yin power that had been dormant for many years to slowly awaken.

Although she can't yet compete with experts, at least she's no longer a woman hiding in the shadows, at the mercy of others.

"Yuqing!"

Ye Feng grabbed her and pulled her behind him, not beside him, then said, "Don't be afraid. Channel some of your internal energy into your meridians, and we'll go beat them up together!"

Lin Yuqing took a deep breath and nodded heavily. Following the method used when merging meridians, she slowly transmitted the awakened Yin energy into Ye Feng's body.

It was a strange feeling, a sense of closeness akin to entrusting one's life to another. She could feel his breath flowing continuously into her blood, merging with his true energy. At the same time, she could feel Ye Feng's domineering warm current returning to her body and entering her limbs, helping her eliminate the feeling of unease that came from using her self-defense technique. She could even feel their breathing gradually synchronizing.

The next moment, Ye Feng felt a warm yet powerful yin energy continuously entering his bloodstream, combining with his yang energy to form a yin-yang balance, which circulated endlessly.

Moreover, at this moment, Ye Feng discovered that his originally overly domineering Peak Yang True Qi, after being combined with Extreme Yin, had become softer and more controllable, and his combat power had even increased by a huge step!

This is the power of the Meridian Harmony: Yin and Yang unite as one, and one plus one never equals two!

Ye Feng could feel that the two dragons inside his body, which used to be two dragons fighting independently, were now different because they were operating within the same meridian.

One is hard, the other is soft; one is still, the other is active. They restrain each other yet promote each other, causing the power within this body to increase by more than 30% without increasing much.

Most importantly, the breath Lin Yuqing gave him this time didn't leave him pale and bloodless.

After the two of them merged their meridians, the aura emanating from Lin Yuqing was no longer as weak as before.

On the contrary, she not only did not feel any less warmth, but was also warmed by that power.

So her eyes brightened...

Moreover, she no longer felt tired at all.

This reignited Ye Feng's fighting spirit.

"Old man!" Ye Feng laughed. "Looks like I was too arrogant! Come on! Let's see who wins this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a domineering and aura simultaneously appeared around Ye Feng.

Although it still exudes a strong aura, it's different from before; this time it's no longer the flamboyant kind of thing.

It even gives the feeling of subtly suppressing the mountains opposite!

In just a few moments, everything here had turned into a situation where Ye Feng had the upper hand...
