They refused to believe that after fighting three opponents, Ye Fei could still be so at ease!
The three exchanged glances and, in perfect默契 (mòqì - tacit understanding), launched their attacks on Ye Fei simultaneously.
"You little beast, don't get too cocky!"
"The three of us are not so easily dealt with!"
"If you're willing to beg for mercy and surrender, seeing as we're fellow disciples, we can spare you. Otherwise, you'll have to suffer!"
A young man with naturally curly hair among the three said with a smile.
This person had the demeanor of a smiling tiger.
However, Ye Fei had no intention of begging them for mercy and directly expressed his will through his actions.
"Fine, since you're so unwilling to listen to advice, the three of us will teach you a lesson!"
"Young people are indeed impetuous!"
"Watch us!"
The three then directly surrounded Ye Fei.
Simultaneously, they attacked from three directions.
This meant Ye Fei had to deal with all three of them at once.
But this only made Ye Fei more excited.
He grew stronger when facing stronger opponents. Ye Fei's hands shifted, and the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed. After a beautiful sword flower, he flipped and the sword struck out rapidly, piercing towards the person behind him!
All of this happened in an instant. Before Ye Fei’s attack landed, that person hadn't even reacted.
By the time he regained his senses and tried to counterattack, Ye Fei's long sword had already slashed across his shoulder.
Before he could even let out a cry of pain, another strike disabled his other arm!
"Beast, how dare you!"
"How dare you sneak attack me!"
The person still wanted to speak, but Ye Fei's glare made him shiver, and he immediately swallowed his words.
After dealing with this person, only two remained on the field.
Seeing Ye Fei's ghost-like movements just now, these two immediately stood back-to-back.
"Oh, your reaction speed is quite fast, much better than that idiot from before!"
"But in the face of absolute strength, no matter how you try to dodge, it will be useless!"
"Next, I will finish you both within three moves!"
Ye Fei smiled indifferently, not wanting to waste more time.
"Arrogant words!"
"They were just caught off guard and ambushed by you earlier!"
"Now that we are fully prepared, what can you do to us?"
The man with the slanted eyes said disdainfully.
From beginning to end, he believed Ye Fei was merely a bit cunning.
"Hahaha!"
"I truly didn't expect that even now, you still haven't grasped the essence of the matter. You've truly disappointed me!"
"Remember!"
"There's always someone better, a sky beyond the sky!"
"Next, I will let you witness my true capabilities!"
With a whoosh, Ye Fei drew his long sword and directly engaged them in a fierce battle.
Clang.
After this exchange, the two were stunned.
Ye Fei's attacks were too ferocious!
The two were utterly unable to block them.
Crack.
Ye Fei's long sword cleaved down from above, shattering the weapon in one of them's hands!
What immense power!
As he stared wide-eyed in disbelief, Ye Fei directly crippled one of his legs!
As for the last remaining person, his heart was already in a panic!
"Don't come near me!"
"I'm going to call for help!"
"You're harming fellow disciples!"
Seeing Ye Fei walking towards him step by step, the man's face was already contorted in terror as he retreated incessantly.
However, what filled him with even greater despair was that behind him was a solid wall, leaving him with no escape!
Ye Fei did not hesitate and, following the same pattern, severed the man's leg!
At this point, the battle was completely over.
Ye Fei looked down at the four people cornered against the wall and said.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
"Why was I sent to the medicinal garden?"
All four were bullies who preyed on the weak. They hastily recounted the entire story to Ye Fei.
Ye Fei learned that the work in the medicinal garden was not his to begin with; he had been tricked into being sent here, with the intention of teaching him a lesson.
"You four are truly something!"
"With your intelligence, you were used as pawns without even realizing it. I think you were sold out and still helped count the money!"
"Do you know what your fate will be if this matter is exposed?"
"I'm not trying to scare you, but think carefully!"
"Today, we're even!"
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"
"Remember, restore everything here to its original state, or I will return to find you!"
Ye Fei glanced at them one last time before leaving and reiterated his instructions.
The four nodded repeatedly, fearing Ye Fei's return.
Only after Ye Fei's figure disappeared from their sight did the four finally relax.
They exchanged glances and then broke down weeping.
What had they done? Not only did they gain nothing, but they had also gotten themselves into trouble!
Fortunately, Ye Fei had at least spared their lives.
This was considered fortunate amidst their misfortune.
"Brothers, this kid is truly too strange. We should take a detour whenever we see him from now on!"
The obese man in the black brocade robe said intermittently.
Meanwhile, Ye Fei had already hurried to the entrance of his small courtyard.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, a disciple was waiting.
Seeing Ye Fei finally appear, he quickly stepped forward and informed him of his mission.
After hearing it, Ye Fei did not make things difficult for the disciple and let him leave on his own.
It seemed that Old Man Pu was so eager for him to die in the secret realm.
Despite this, Ye Fei was naturally unwilling to miss such a rare trial.
Based on what he had learned earlier, the Heavenly Burning Secret Realm was filled with treasures, especially many precious medicinal herbs and ores.
Ye Fei had actually noticed during the fight earlier that his current sword was not powerful enough. If he could obtain the legendary Adamantine and reforge this sword, its power would be greatly enhanced.
Therefore, even though the path ahead was fraught with danger, he had to press on.
After packing everything, he left a message for Yun Chuchu and then embarked on the trial path alone.
When he arrived at the plaza in front of the Pill Sect, he found that everyone had already left.
Upon inquiring, he learned that the main group had already departed.
However, Ye Fei was unconcerned. After obtaining the teleportation talisman, he took the teleportation array alone to the Heavenly Burning Secret Realm.
