Villain: He humiliated the protagonist's sister, but she fell in love with him.

[Ding! Host humiliated Ye Bufan, congratulations on obtaining 10 miniature locators!]

Ye Bufan glared at Lin Ba with resentment, a surge of violent internal energy raging within his body.

He felt that the bottleneck of his peak internal strength, which had been stuck for so long, was now loosened under the dual impact of humiliation and anger.

He's about to break through.

Overjoyed, Ye Bufan ignored the excruciating pain on his face and quickly held his breath to prepare for a breakthrough.

An invisible current of energy exploded from his body, and the invisible pressure made everyone in the Chinese medicine shop feel breathless.

Wen Ningyue's expression changed slightly. She recognized this as a sign of breaking through to the Transformation Realm and subconsciously pulled Lin Ba back half a step.

But Lin Ba gave the other party a reassuring look, then raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Bufan:

"Oh, you're trying to break through after I slapped you? Too bad I won't give you that chance."

Before he finished speaking, he used his movement technique to leave no trace in the snow, and his figure swayed.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and Lin Ba had already disappeared from the spot.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that he had silently moved right up to Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan was fully focused on breaking through the bottleneck, completely absorbed in the process, when suddenly he felt a wall-like pressure in front of him.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and Lin Ba's face was right in front of him, with a half-smile on his lips.

"How is that possible!"

Under Ye Bufan's desperate gaze.

"Screw you!"

Lin Ba raised his hand and slapped him down again.

"Smack!!!"

This time the force was even greater than before, and the momentum that Ye Bufan had just gathered was completely dissipated by this slap.

Ye Bufan spat out a mouthful of blood, fell backward, and hit the back of his head on the floor tiles, seeing stars.

The previously loose bottleneck instantly locked up again, even more firmly than before.

Ye Bufan lay on the ground, with only one thought in his mind.

It's over, it's really over this time.

With Lin Ba's strength at the late stage of the Transformation Realm, there's no way he could have left this store alive today.

He subconsciously activated the cultivation technique he had obtained in the ancient cave, because it was the only opportunity he had ever had, even though he felt that the technique was a bit strange.

But at this moment, there's no time to worry about that.

"Master! Save me!"

Ye Bufan shouted in his heart.

The next second, his aura suddenly changed.

A massive energy far exceeding his own level instantly flowed through his limbs and bones.

His aura, originally at the mid-stage of Dark Force, shot upwards like a rocket, reaching the peak of Dark Force, the early stage of Transformation Force, the mid-stage of Transformation Force, and finally stopping at the late stage of Transformation Force.

Ye Bufan's pupils changed color, and a murky light, not belonging to him, rose deep in his eyes.

His body was still lying on the ground, but the fluidity of his movements and the speed of his reactions were completely different from before.

He slapped the ground with one hand, launching himself into the air. His right fist, enveloped in a visible layer of energy, slammed towards Lin Ba.

Lin Ba's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to catch the punch.

"boom!!!"

The shockwave from the collision of the two fists overturned the counter of the traditional Chinese medicine shop, scattering bags of herbs all over the ground, and the people around were pushed back several steps by the blast wave.

The floor tiles beneath Lin Ba's feet shattered. Although he wasn't knocked back, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

The power of this punch was truly at the late stage of the Transformation Realm.

But that's all.

Lin Ba flipped his wrist, instantly channeling his late-stage internal energy into Ye Bufan. With a twist of his palm, Ye Bufan's entire arm snapped, and he was sent flying again.

This time it flew even further, its back crashing directly through the pharmacy wall, sending dust flying everywhere.

Just as Lin Ba was about to chase after him and finish him off, "Ye Bufan" used the force of the rebound to suddenly change direction in mid-air.

He stomped his feet on the wall several times, and in a few leaps, he disappeared into the depths of the alley, moving so fast that only a blurry shadow remained.

Although Ye Bufan ran very fast, his speed was still no match for Lin Ba.

He used the Snow-Treading Without a Trace technique once again, and in less than a few seconds, Lin Ba's figure was already close behind "Ye Bufan".

When Ye Bufan turned around, his face instantly changed color, and a look of horror flashed in his turbid pupils.

He stumbled, nearly falling, and blurted out a pretentious phrase:

"Young man, give me some face, show some mercy!"

Lin Ba didn't even lift his eyelids:

"I'll swear to God."

Before he finished speaking, his fist had already been thrown out, the force of the punch aimed straight at Ye Bufan's back.

Helpless, Ye Bufan could only turn around and cross his hands in front of his chest to take the punch head-on.

"Bang!!!"

At this moment, the streets were in an uproar.

"Holy crap! Look at the wall! Someone's flying!"

"Really? Is that a movie shoot?"

"What kind of filming is this? There aren't even any wires!"

Pedestrians strolling on the street looked up and raised their phones in quick succession, but the two were too fast, and all the photos they took were blurry; they couldn't even capture a clear face.

Tang Rui, who was on duty at the entrance of an alley, heard the noise. When she looked up, her eyes were suddenly locked on the two entangled figures in mid-air.

Although they were extremely fast, Tang Rui recognized her younger brother Lin Ba and that damned Ye Bufan at a glance during the exchange of blows.

Her pupils contracted, and her right hand had already reached for the holster at her waist.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two exchanged a punch in mid-air and their bodies paused simultaneously, Tang Rui drew her gun and fired.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The three bullets left the barrel almost simultaneously, their trajectories precisely aimed at Ye Bufan's back.

Ye Bufan had just been shaken by Lin Ba's punch, his blood surging, and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a chill in his back.

He dodged two shots by suddenly turning to the side, but the third shot grazed his shoulder blade and went in.

"ah!!!"

Ye Bufan cried out in pain, half of his body went numb, and he tumbled off the wall, crashing into the crowded people below.

Pedestrians screamed and scattered, and in an instant, chaos ensued.

Lin Ba landed on the ground and, with a light step, rushed to where Ye Bufan had fallen. He raised his fist again, ready to finish the guy off in one fell swoop.

Ye Bufan lay curled up on the ground, blood gushing from the gunshot wound on his shoulder, but his eyes suddenly shifted, revealing a sinister smile.

He suddenly flipped over, his hands flashing out like lightning. With one hand he grabbed a seven or eight-year-old boy next to him, and with the other he grabbed an older woman who couldn't run away in time, and threw them hard towards Lin Ba and Tang Rui.

The two people were thrown into the air and screamed in terror.

"Holy crap!"

Lin Ba's pupils contracted, his fist was abruptly stopped, and he suddenly changed direction and lunged forward.

"Who's the villain, you or me?!"

Ye Bufan got up from the ground, half of his body bleeding, but a shrewd smile that didn't belong to him was on his face. He said in a hoarse voice:

"Young man, let me tell you, the winner is the righteous one, hahaha."

After saying that, he clutched his wound, turned around, and plunged into the nearby alley, disappearing around the corner...
