Qi Guze nodded solemnly, his voice deep and firm: "These guys are the source of evil we are determined to eradicate."

The mysterious group of people in the distance slowly approached, their faces bearing a disdainful sneer, as if mocking the group of warriors who dared to challenge them.

One of the mysterious figures was a burly man with the marks of time etched on his face, his eyes revealing a coldness and cunning.

He strode forward and sneered, "Haha, you bunch of ignorant fools, how dare you barge in here! You're utterly stupid!"

"We have come to eradicate you evildoers! Today is the day of your destruction!" Her voice was cold and resolute, seemingly able to pierce through every leaf and every stone in the valley, reaching the depths of everyone's heart. Every word she spoke was like a sharp sword, piercing the enemy's heart.

Her eyes gleamed with determination and resolve, an undeniable power that seemed capable of dispelling all darkness and evil. Her gaze swept over the crowd, as if igniting blazing flames for the battle to begin.

"Charge!"

"kill!"

At her command, the guards shot out like arrows. Their figures darted through the valley like streaks of black lightning, tearing through the sky, and instantly engaged the mysterious figure in fierce combat.

In an instant, the valley resounded with the sounds of fierce fighting, swords flashing and sword energy crisscrossing. Each clash of swords produced a crisp sound, as if playing a stirring symphony for the battle.

Xu Yuehuai moved with agility, her longsword dancing in her hand, each swing carrying the force of a thunderbolt. Her movements were both swift and elegant, like a dancer gracefully twirling on the battlefield. Her eyes flashed with a sharp light, each attack precise and accurate, as if she could see through every weakness of her enemy.

Qi Guze assisted Xu Yuehuai with his exquisite swordsmanship. The two worked together seamlessly, as if they were telepathically connected. Their swordsmanship was sometimes as fierce as a storm, and sometimes as gentle as willow catkins, making it difficult for their enemies to predict.

"Ah Yue, watch out!" Suddenly, Qi Guze shouted, and a mysterious man holding a hidden weapon attacked Xu Yuehuai.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai slightly shifted his body and dodged the attack of the hidden weapon.

"Aze, I'm fine!"

Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh and said to the enemy opposite her: "These petty tricks, you think you can hurt me?"

As she spoke, she swung her sword at the mysterious man. In a flash of sword light, the mysterious man was struck down and could not get up again.

Xu Yuehuai laughed loudly, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"Hahaha! Today is your death day!"

However, at that moment, the mysterious man lit an incense stick. Instantly, a strange fragrance filled the valley.

Xu Yuehuai, Qi Guze, and the others suddenly felt dizzy, as if something was quietly eroding their will.

"Oh no, this is sleeping potion!" Qi Guze exclaimed. A look of tension and worry appeared on his face. He knew that this sleeping potion was no good, and the consequences of inhaling it would be unimaginable.

Xu Yuehuai also realized that something was wrong. She quickly circulated her internal energy to resist the corrosive fragrance, and reminded everyone at the same time: "Hold your breath and don't let the fragrance enter your body!" Although her voice was a little hoarse, it was full of determination and resolve.

"Awooo!"

However, it was too late. Suddenly, a group of ferocious beasts charged out from the depths of the valley, roaring as they pounced on Xu Yuehuai and the others. These beasts were enormous, with bared fangs and eyes that gleamed with ferocity, as if they wanted to tear them to shreds.

"Ah Yue!" Qi Guze shouted, swinging his sword at a tiger. Although his swordsmanship was fierce, he seemed somewhat powerless against the tiger's attack.

Xu Yuehuai reacted quickly, his figure flashing like lightning, skillfully dodging the tiger's fierce attack.

At the same time, the longsword in her hand drew a dazzling sword aura, instantly knocking another beast to the ground with a dull thud.

However, the number of ferocious beasts around them was simply too large, and this was clearly not a long-term solution.

"Aze, we can't just sit here and wait to die!" Xu Yuehuai shouted, his eyes flashing with a sharp light that seemed to pierce through the darkness.

Qi Guze gripped the sword hilt tightly, looking at Xu Yuehuai with unwavering determination, and replied, "I know, Yuehuai. We must find a way to break this incense as soon as possible."

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing determination and trust. They knew that only by working together could they overcome the current difficulties.

After a fierce battle, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze finally found a way to break the spell. They used the universal antidote pill left behind by the Ghost Doctor, crushed it into powder with their internal energy, and then scattered it into the air.

"call--"

Instantly, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air. Upon smelling this aroma, the previously ferocious beasts gradually returned to normal and became docile.

The other ferocious beasts around also stopped gathering, as if they had been driven away by the medicinal fragrance.

"Madmen! You're all madmen! How could you waste such a precious antidote!" The mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of them and angrily shouted.

Xu Yuehuai glanced at him coldly and said disdainfully, "When it comes to money, life is of course more important. And you are about to lose the most important thing." Her eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent, as if she was ready to strike at any moment.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious man was startled and quickly signaled to his men, "Quick! Stop them!"

His men immediately surrounded him, forming an impenetrable barrier.

However, the guards had already taken action and defeated the remaining beasts one by one to fight against the mysterious man's men.

Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a glance and decided to take the opportunity to hunt down the remaining mysterious people.

The mysterious man tried to escape, but he couldn't. Xu Yuehuai flashed in front of him and kicked him away.

Then, she stepped on the other person's chest and asked coldly, "Tell me, what other schemes do you have up your sleeve?"

The mysterious man burst into laughter, mocking, "Hahaha! You'll never know!" After saying that, he attempted suicide, but was quickly stopped by Xu Yuehuai.

Xu Yuehuai dislocated his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide again. Then he ordered the guards beside him, "Take him back and keep a close watch on him."

This time was different from before. Xu Yuehuai could kill those unimportant people without mercy, but this person was clearly one of the important leaders among those mysterious people, and he had to be kept alive for interrogation.

The guards quickly took the mysterious man away, and the others were also subdued one by one. Xu Yuehuai, Qi Guze, and the others stood at the entrance of the valley, looking at the fallen enemies with satisfied smiles on their faces.
