I am a high-level martial arts master.

Chapter 124 Ye Li Avoids Lightning

Inside the headquarters of the Poison Wolf Gang.

Duhe strode in, carrying the ape-like creature that had transformed into human form.

On the way, Yuan Pan explained, "Captain, this time it really can't be my fault. That human's body is just like a monster's, even tougher than my demon body."

"Who knows how that human cultivated himself?"

Seeing his teammates nervously explaining, Duhe cursed them inwardly as "useless," but kept a straight face and said:

"It's alright. Ye Li has a big secret, and I even suspect that Meng Yan's death is related to him."

"Since Ye Li won't join us, after we utterly destroy the Azure Dragon Gang, I will personally transform him into a blood corpse, and everything will become clear." As he spoke, Du He threw Yuan Pan's figure into the blood pool.

Under the control of the crimson internal force, countless drops of blood converged, continuously healing Yuan Pan's body.

Feeling his injuries rapidly healing, Yuanpan showed a hint of relief on his face.

"With the help of the blood pool, the sword energy is almost completely dissipated, and my injuries are about to heal."

Looking at Yuan Pan in the blood pool, Du He said, "I will fight that woman then. If you encounter that kid again, do you have a chance of victory?"

Ape Pan felt relieved and a sinister smile appeared on his face. "Don't worry, that human's strength is far inferior to mine. He just didn't realize how powerful his physical body was, so he stumbled this time."

"The next time we meet, without the captain's blood pool to aid him, he might not even be able to heal his injuries."

"If I don't use the power of the entry, but instead use my internal force to crush him squarely, I can hand him over to you within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

As the two were talking, Yi Yangfan walked in from outside with a strange expression.

Duhe asked, "How did it go? Has Ye Li's fear been successfully diverted?"

"It was a success...but..." Yi Yangfan stammered.

"Hmm? Something unexpected happened?"

"No, but I randomly turned that kid's fear into a big thunderbolt; the bigger it gets, the more afraid he becomes."

Quiet

Amidst the stunned silence, Duhe frowned and said:

"Why is it something like this? How am I supposed to carry this around?"

If Ye Li's fear is of common things like stones, plants, and trees, carrying these items during battle can effectively instill fear in him. But what about the Great Thunder? Could I cut off a few and carry them with me?

Suppressing the strange thought, Duhe shook his head and said:

"Forget it, that kid's strength is average, there's no need to target him specifically. We can leave him to Yuanpan next time."

"But wasn't it said that woman's fear object was the four-leaf clover? I carried it with me during the battle, how come she wasn't afraid at all?" Deep in the cave, the flickering candlelight revealed a repressive atmosphere.

Wei Wanxi had been gone for almost half a day. As the night faded, the speed of a Day-level martial artist should have brought them back by now.

Jiang Xiyue hugged her knees, curled up in the corner of the cold stone steps, her gaze slightly unfocused.

At this moment, she was all alone. Her loved ones were either deceased or far away. Now, the only person Guangming truly cared about was Ye Li. The young man's departure was like losing her last lifeline after drowning, suffocating her.

"Why haven't they come back yet..." the girl murmured to herself, her voice low.

Li Guancai stood to the side with a furrowed brow, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Zheng Tong leaned against the stone wall in the corner, and everyone waited for news.

"Chief, the young master is very lucky, and with Miss Wei's help, he will surely return safely," an elder of the Azure Dragon Gang said in a low voice, but everyone knew that the odds were probably against him.

Just when the tense atmosphere was driving people almost crazy, the heavy stone slabs at the entrance emitted a dull grating sound!

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to them as two figures walked in one after the other.

The person in the lead, dressed in a plain Taoist robe, was spotless and had a cool and aloof expression; it was Wei Wanxi.

Immediately following behind, Ye Li's familiar figure came into view!

He looked somewhat disheveled, his robes were torn in many places and stained with dried blood and dust, and his face was slightly pale, but his steps were steady.

"Ye Li!" Jiang Xiyue jumped up like a rabbit and quickly stepped forward, even using her internal energy with each step.

Seeing Ye Li covered in blood, her eyes reddened as she asked, "You're injured?"

Seeing the girl like this, Ye Li felt a warmth in his heart. If the girl hadn't discovered him in time, he would have been in real danger.

"Don't worry, I just fought with that mid-stage acquired cultivator from the Poison Wolf Gang who specializes in external martial arts. I suffered some minor injuries, and I'll be fine in three to five days," Ye Li explained to everyone.

"I suspect that the one who possessed the [Demon Seed of the Dao Heart] acquired the ability to bewitch people for miles, and unknowingly lured me out of the cave. Those missing martial artists before may have all fallen victim to this trick."

"We hid here all night to avoid being found by the blood zombies, and we're sorry to have worried everyone."

Upon seeing the two return, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both joy at their safe return and apprehension at the strange spell.

Wei Wanxi stood a step behind, her cool gaze sweeping over everyone, lingering for a moment on Jiang Xiyue's reddened eyes before quietly looking away. After some pleasantries, Ye Li revealed the newly acquired information:

"The Yuan Pan who practiced hard martial arts was actually an ape demon. His ability was to reduce everyone's internal energy through battle, suppressing it to nothing within a hundred breaths."

"His strength is comparable to the late stage of the Acquired Realm. If you do not have a perfect cultivation level, do not engage in a prolonged battle with him."

Hearing this, everyone was secretly alarmed. Li Guancai frowned and said, "Of these three foreign Acquired beings, one is an immortal demon, one uses sinister Gu techniques, and the last one is even a demon from overseas."

"Such bizarre methods, with different cultivation traditions, where do they come from?"

Upon hearing Li Guancai's words, Wei Wanxi's heart tightened, and she quickly looked at Ye Li.

Ye Li laughed and said, "We don't need to know how they got here, we just need to know how they died."

"Now that we know ourselves and our enemy, once Miss Wei recovers from her injuries and leads us in a counterattack, everything will naturally be insignificant."

Hearing Ye Li say this, Wei Wanxi relaxed.

Although she possesses the "Dao Heart Clarity," her personality remains unchanged; she still experiences joy and sorrow.

Only intense emotional fluctuations that affect martial arts training will be forcibly erased by the entries.

Seeing the two of them singing in harmony, Jiang Xiyue, who had relaxed, immediately frowned and noticed something that others had not paid attention to.

The two spent the night outside, and why did Miss Wei secretly change her clothes?

Once the radar of suspicion went off, the girl's intelligence instantly surpassed Einstein's, and she discovered many suspicious points.

For example, the girl's headdress and hairstyle remained unchanged; only her outer clothing was changed.

The other party did not bring any clothes with them before leaving. Where did the clothes come from?

What made the girl most suspicious was why Ye Li avoided her gaze the entire time, neither daring to look at Wei Wanxi nor stare at her. Was it guilt or a guilty conscience?

The doubtful girl was unaware that Ye Li was currently trying hard to keep his eyes focused...

Beware!
