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

When Ye Feng made his move again, he sensed something was wrong.

Ye Feng just now, although domineering, was too rigid, like a sharpened but not strong knife, capable of cutting flesh and blood, but unable to withstand impact.

But Ye Feng's current true energy, which is both strong and gentle, and continuous, has actually become capable of contending with Cheng Jiuyuan's unfathomable inner strength.

The two exchanged blows and soon began their third exchange. Cheng Jiuyuan's attacks were as skillful as ever, targeting the blind spots protected by Ye Feng. However, Ye Feng's true energy, which combined strength and gentleness, flowed like mercury onto the ground. His attacks were thunderous and his defenses were continuous and unstoppable, changing the situation where he was suppressed everywhere. He actually managed to fight the Tongtian Pavilion Master to a standstill.

Cheng Jiuyuan became increasingly surprised as the fight progressed.

What surprised Cheng Jiuyuan the most was the woman beside him. One was yin and the other yang, and their two true energies seemed to be connected, nourishing each other and circulating endlessly. This was clearly the "Meridian Harmony" technique, which had been lost in the secluded classics for a long time.

"Merge the pulse!"

Cheng Jiuyuan murmured, his eyes filled with turbulent emotions. He knew very well that in the tattered page in the Zhiwei Pavilion, there were only eight characters after the words "He Mai" (合脉). He vaguely remembered these characters: "Yin and Yang combine to calm the mind." The previous pavilion masters couldn't understand what it meant. They all said it was just a wild idea from ancient cultivators. How could anyone in the world possess both the most masculine Yang energy and the purest Yin energy, and even be able to combine these two irreconcilable forces? But now, this so-called delusion was standing right in front of him.

His lifelong thirst for knowledge finally surged wildly. He couldn't help but want to see with his own eyes what kind of terrifying power this legendary "Meridian Harmony" would unleash.

Startled, Cheng Jiuyuan hesitated for the first time before making his move.

What Ye Feng needed was precisely this hesitation.

With his left hand, he guided the Yin energy that Lin Yu was pouring over, and with his right hand, he guided his own Yang energy. Then, he brought his palms together, and the two completely opposite energies merged and compressed in Ye Feng's palm, forming a visible vortex of Yin and Yang.

"Take this!"

Ye Feng shouted and struck out with both palms, the yin-yang vortex crashing towards Cheng Jiuyuan with overwhelming force.

Cheng Jiuyuan dared not be careless. He gathered all his true energy, and his hands, withered and thin as bamboo, transformed into an ancient hand seal.

This time, he dared not let his guard down again.

He suffered from the "stubbornness" of that slap just now;

This vortex of yin and yang energy has now stirred a long-forgotten, hazy memory deep within his consciousness—

The words "Zhen Yuan" described in the fragments from a thousand years ago vaguely resemble the aura of the power before them.

A chill crept up Cheng Jiuyuan's spine.

He suddenly realized that what he had stumbled upon today might not just be a long-lost secret technique, but a matter of immense cause and effect...

"boom!"

A muffled thunderclap resounded throughout the entire manor.

The vortex of yin and yang energy collided with Cheng Jiuyuan's powerful internal energy, creating a gust of wind like a typhoon, causing sand and stones to fly throughout the courtyard and roof tiles to fall from the eaves at the entrance.

Even the glass in the windows not far from the manor was buzzing and vibrating!

Cheng Jiuyuan's punch was far more ruthless and resilient than he had imagined. He used all his internal energy to form a protective seal, which began to twist and deform little by little under the swirling yin and yang energy.

What's most terrifying is its "resilience." After a devastating blow, it adds another wave of extreme Yin power, one wave after another, giving him no chance to deflect the force or retaliate. In just a few moments, a spiderweb-like crack appeared on the bluestone pavement between the two of them.

The airflow has dissipated!

Ye Feng stood firmly, protecting Lin Yuqing with one hand, but his chest was still rising and falling slightly, clearly indicating that he was using his true energy.

Cheng Jiuyuan, on the other hand, swayed and fell several times before he was able to stand up again.

Although his face looked as expressionless as before, it was now deathly pale and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

The aftershocks of that palm strike were causing his meridians to ache slightly.

He lost!

It was just a single palm strike, but he knew that even if he continued to entangle himself, this powerful being known as the Master of Zhiwei Pavilion would not gain any advantage.

With Yin and Yang in harmony, Ye Feng is now a force that no one can defeat alone.

Moreover, his purpose in coming here was to "prove" rather than kill! Having witnessed the power of the Meridian Harmony firsthand and personally experienced the effects of this ancient secret technique, the fact that this incomplete book had trapped the Zhiwei Pavilion for a thousand years had been largely proven.

This was his tremendous gain! As for snatching Lin Yuqing, his mind swayed slightly. Could someone who had mastered the Meridian Harmony Cultivation Technique and was so kind to others be so easily dealt with?

Forcibly seizing it would result in mutual destruction and create another enemy in the end. Zhiwei Pavilion has always avoided war and only seeks the truth. It's not worth sending Zhiwei Pavilion into prison for a worthless concept.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable." Cheng Jiuyuan sighed, the determination in his eyes instantly replaced by something else. "Dr. Ye, I underestimated you, and I also underestimated this Miss Lin."

He finally withdrew his momentum, and the remaining guys behind him also retreated.

Ye Feng did not continue the pursuit. That slap had almost drained his true essence, and his so-called strength, which had just merged with his meridians, had also shrunk by several cycles in this fierce battle!

But he still stubbornly endured the churning of his blood and qi, and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan with an unusually gloomy expression.

"You've come to terms with it?" he said calmly.

"Then take your people and leave. Lin Yuqing, don't touch anyone!"

Cheng Jiuyuan gave Lin Yuqing a deep look, his eyes filled with resentment and apprehension, yet also with a hint of retreat.

"I was careless today," he said, bowing to them. "You may leave Zhiwei Pavilion for now."

Ye Feng ignored him and remained vigilant, continuing to coldly stare at Cheng Jiuyuan until he truly sensed that the other party had lowered his guard, at which point he nodded slightly.

For someone with such high moral character to say "retreat" to you, instead of just spouting platitudes, it makes a clear point: it's based on what you just did—the slap you delivered—not on empty boasting!

What about the martial arts world, what about hermits? In the end, it's all about who has the strongest fist!

However, even so, Ye Feng suddenly froze as he turned to leave, because just then he heard Cheng Jiuyuan say something that made him tremble all over:

That very sentence made his body tense up again.
