The burly man with a stubbly beard was also affected after entering the poisonous forest. His normally acute senses were dulled.
Fortunately, his cultivation was high, so he wouldn't truly fall here anytime soon.
Reason told him he shouldn't linger, but he was simply unwilling to give up!
He had almost captured the little girl, only to have his plan disrupted by a youngster who suddenly appeared. How hateful!
"Hey, little brat, I'm right here!"
"What can you do to me?"
Ye Fei provoked him directly.
"You punk, you're asking for death!"
The burly, stubbly man roared.
He immediately mobilized his primal energy and launched an attack towards Ye Fei.
However, due to the influence of the poisonous gas, the power of the burly man's attack had clearly decreased.
His movements were also much slower.
"Hahaha, come on!"
"Little brat will teach you how to behave!"
"Take this sword!"
"Xuantian Jue, Third Style!"
Ye Fei attacked directly, unafraid of confronting the burly, stubbly man head-on.
The burly man could only exert two-thirds of his full strength at this moment.
This conveniently benefited Ye Fei.
He could use the man as a sparring partner.
Wonderful!
The exchange between the two was a probing attack.
Especially Ye Fei, through the previous clash, had gained a rough understanding of the burly man's true strength.
"Big idiot, next, I'm going to use my ultimate move!"
Ye Fei's expression turned serious as he continued to engage the burly man in a direct confrontation.
It had to be said, the burly man's strength was indeed not weak.
His close-combat ability, in particular, far exceeded Ye Fei's expectations.
*Crack.*
His massive fist directly struck Ye Fei's chest.
After being hit, Ye Fei retreated rapidly.
He only stopped when his entire body slammed into a large tree.
*Pfft.*
Ye Fei spat out a mouthful of blood.
Without looking, Ye Fei knew his internal organs must have been injured by that blow.
Fortunately, he had managed to deflect some of the force earlier, otherwise, he might have suffered serious injuries.
"You little beast, tell me quickly, where did that stinking girl go?"
"If you don't tell me, I'll dismember you piece by piece and throw your corpse to the demonic beasts!"
"My patience is limited, I'll give you ten seconds to think!"
"Countdown starts now!"
The burly, stubbly man tried to stay clear-headed, finally cutting a large gash on his own palm.
This was to keep himself conscious.
Although the action was subtle, Ye Fei still noticed it.
A look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
It seemed the poisonous gas in the forest was affecting the burly man more and more.
This was naturally good news for him.
Therefore, Ye Fei decided to play for time!
He started to chitchat with the burly, stubbly man, drawing out the conversation.
Due to the influence of the poisonous gas, the burly man was clearly struggling to maintain his posture, swaying unsteadily and nearly falling to the ground.
Just as Ye Fei was about to draw his sword for a fatal blow against the burly man.
He suddenly gritted his teeth and slashed his own arm again.
*Hiss.*
"That hurts!"
At the same time, this made him regain his senses again.
Realizing he had been led by the nose by Ye Fei, the burly man could no longer contain his rage and unleashed his strongest move!
Ye Fei was not to be outdone, the long sword in his hand hummed, and surging killing intent erupted with a *swish*, directly shredding towards the burly man!
Facing Ye Fei's attack, the burly man also broke out in a cold sweat.
He realized that if he didn't leave this poisonous forest soon, his life might truly be forfeit at Ye Fei's hands.
He immediately, like a madman, tried to break out of the encirclement formed by the sword energy.
But Ye Fei, having finally gained the upper hand, how could he easily give up his advantage?
He unleashed several more sword energies, forming another barrier on the outside.
"Hahaha, now you can't escape even if you had wings!"
"You should atone for your past sins!"
Ye Fei said coldly.
"Big sister, grandpa, grandma, you can rest in peace now!"
"I can finally avenge you!"
At this moment, the little girl also arrived beside Ye Fei.
Then, with a *swish*, she knelt on the ground.
"You stinking girl, you'll die a terrible death!"
"Hahaha!"
"I've gotten my due!"
*Swish swish swish.*
The burly, stubbly man was finally shredded into pieces by Ye Fei's sword energy.
Seeing her enemy finally dead, tears streamed down the little girl's face.
*Plop.*
Immediately, the little girl knelt before Ye Fei.
"Thank you, young master, for avenging my family!"
"I have nothing else to repay you with, I will kowtow to you a few times!"
Seeing the little girl about to kowtow heavily, Ye Fei quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
Then he said.
"This is just a small matter, you don't need to take it to heart."
"This Misty Valley is not a place for you to be. I'll escort you out first."
The little girl managed a rare smile, and her heart warmed.
"Little girl, please don't cry anymore."
"I believe that if your loved ones in heaven are watching, they would certainly hope you live happily."
"So you must cheer up!"
"Understand?"
The little girl was indeed very cute, soft and cuddly, like his own younger sister.
Afterward, Ye Fei directly took out several pills from his Qiankun bag, along with some money and food, and handed them all to the little girl.
Then he advised her that if she encountered any difficulties, she could come to the Martial Sect to find him.
"Thank you, big brother!"
"I will."
The little girl said with a smile.
Finally, Ye Fei led her back to the entrance of the Misty Valley. After watching her figure disappear, he re-entered the Misty Valley.
This time, Ye Fei went all the way unimpeded, directly reaching the central area of the Misty Valley.
*Roar roar roar.*
From time to time, Ye Fei could hear the roars of many demonic beasts.
Since the Royal Blood Grass preferred sunlight over shade, Ye Fei observed the terrain of the Misty Valley for a while before heading east again.
As it was getting late and the night was too dangerous, Ye Fei had no choice but to find a place to rest for the night and continue his journey in the morning.
However, he searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable place to stay.
Was he really going to make do with a night in the wilderness?
Ye Fei frowned in annoyance.
