Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei quietly took out the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, infused it with True Qi, and just as he was about to use it, the elderly opponent suddenly launched an attack. Xiao Yifei couldn't dodge in time and was knocked down harshly once again, leaving a shocking blood scar across his chest.

However, seizing the moment of the elderly opponent's complacency, Xiao Yifei took the opportunity. Gritting his teeth, he took out the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle and stabbed it into his own acupuncture point. Immediately, Xiao Yifei transformed into someone slightly different. Naturally, the elderly opponent noticed Xiao Yifei's change.

The previously smug elderly opponent was suddenly a bit unnerved, because Xiao Yifei's aura was gradually rising. Although the elderly opponent didn't understand what was happening, he knew it was definitely nothing good for him. Gradually, Xiao Yifei's aura was already approaching the elderly opponent's.

Or perhaps, surpassing the elderly opponent!

At the Hua Mansion, Xiao Yifei's figure was always absent, which made Old Hua feel a bit disappointed. These days, Xiao Yifei had disappeared again, originally Old Hua intended to teach Xiao Yifei more advanced boxing techniques, but now it seemed unlikely. He wondered when Xiao Yifei would return?

Thinking about it, Old Hua couldn't help but worry. Due to the previous assassination attempt on Xiao Yifei, Old Hua's alertness toward Xiao Yifei had risen significantly. So with Xiao Yifei's disappearance, Old Hua's heart was troubled.

However, after inquiring around, Old Hua learned that Xiao Yifei had gone to investigate Muyun's mother. Upon hearing this news, Old Hua felt quite helpless, not understanding why Xiao Yifei's curiosity was so intense. But Old Hua didn't know that if he himself knew the secret about Muyun's mother, he probably wouldn't be able to resist investigating either.

"I hope you're safe," Old Hua mumbled in his heart, then turned back to his own business.

At this moment, Xiao Yifei might really be as Old Hua thought, facing the elderly opponent with Golden Elixir cultivation, Xiao Yifei seemed somewhat strained, finally reaching a point where he couldn't avoid any longer. Xiao Yifei revealed his trump card, which was the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, using it to temporarily enhance his strength. This might be the only method Xiao Yifei could think of.

Suddenly, Xiao Yifei stood frozen, his face covered in blue veins, looking rather frightening. Yet, it was precisely this terrifying visage that brought about a surge in strength, with True Qi slowly pouring into Xiao Yifei's body, the elderly opponent watching this scene frowned.

The elderly opponent couldn't understand why Xiao Yifei's strength suddenly surged, and it wasn't just a little bit. Although the elderly opponent didn't understand, he knew now was the most suitable time to attack. If he waited past this moment, killing Xiao Yifei would be much harder.

With this in mind, the elderly opponent gathered all his True Qi into his palm, preparing to settle the duel with this strike. Moments later, the elderly opponent glanced at Xiao Yifei, then charged towards him like a bolt of lightning, yet Xiao Yifei continued absorbing the surrounding True Qi, without any intention of stopping.

Seeing this, the elderly opponent laughed, thinking in Xiao Yifei's current state, he was certainly dead. "Hmph, die now, you brat, the thing in your hand is mine!" The elderly opponent growled, his speed towards Xiao Yifei accelerated, the distance between them shrinking rapidly.

But Xiao Yifei still didn't move, True Qi continued pouring into his body, his eyes tightly shut, seemingly unaware of the elderly opponent in front of him.

Got him! The elderly opponent's attack by now had reached Xiao Yifei's body, considering Xiao Yifei dead now, victory assured. The elderly opponent was poised to obtain the treasure map, but these thoughts were abruptly obliterated from his mind in the next instant.

The elderly opponent's body was suddenly out of control, flying backward. Along with the backward flight, a cloud of smoke generated from True Qi lingered where he stood. Within that smoke, something even more terrifying than the elderly opponent existed.

The smoke slowly dissipated like it was never there, Xiao Yifei's aura exploded outward suddenly, scattering the birds and beasts around the house, as if what was inside wasn't a person, but a deity or demon.

"What sorcery have you used?" The elderly opponent incredulously howled, at this moment Xiao Yifei had stopped absorbing True Qi, yet his aura was oppressively overpowering the elderly opponent. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei took a deep breath and slowly replied, "Hmph, to deal with Demons, one must use sorcery."

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei's words, the elderly opponent's face darkened instantly, because these words were clearly addressing him. The elderly opponent wasn't foolish, he naturally understood. "Brat, mind your tone," the elderly opponent was somewhat enraged. However, Xiao Yifei didn't care and snorted coldly.

"People can be more wicked than beasts like you," Xiao Yifei ignored the elderly opponent's threat, and cursed him as worse than a beast. Hearing this, the elderly opponent couldn't hold back, transforming into a meteor and charging violently at Xiao Yifei, "Brat, you're courting death!"

"Bang!" The collision between them stirred up flying sand and rocks, looking at them now, it was as if two atomic bombs were colliding, now both equally matched, making the duel between them quite suspenseful.

The flying sand and rocks slowly dissipated, revealing the figures inside, fists clashing, neither backing down. Xiao Yifei and the elderly opponent confronted each other, with Xiao Yifei no longer feeling overpowered as before. Seeing this, the elderly opponent showed an incredulous expression on his face, "Golden Elixir? How did you suddenly gain the strength of a Golden Elixir?"

From all his years of experience, the elderly opponent had never known of a method that could instantly break through to Golden Elixir, not even temporarily. This insurmountable gap between levels was something every cultivator understood. Hence, the elderly opponent was so surprised.

At this moment, Xiao Yifei seemed to have used an unknown method to ascend from Dark Force peak to Golden Elixir Realm, defying the elderly opponent's understanding. The scene made the elderly opponent furrow his brow, while Xiao Yifei maintained an air of calm indifference, as if what he did was trivial.

Suddenly, the elderly opponent exerted force, pushing Xiao Yifei backward, while he used the momentum to quickly distance himself from Xiao Yifei. After stabilizing, Xiao Yifei suddenly heard the elderly opponent speak with a sinister tone, "Your Secret Technique might be better than the treasure that girl hid. Today, none of the treasures on you will escape."

Hearing this, Xiao Yifei furrowed his brow, surprised that the elderly opponent was once again interested in his methods. But indeed, such a power boost was enviable. However, the elderly opponent didn't know this Secret Technique was usable only by Xiao Yifei.

"If you want my possessions, you'll have to pay a price," Xiao Yifei retorted, his face tensing up, as this was Xiao Yifei's first time facing a Golden Elixir expert. He couldn't afford to slack even a bit.
