"Come here, let me hug you!" The bearded man pouted and ran towards Chen Yi.

"Don't come any closer!"

Chen Yi hurriedly threw a punch.

The bearded man didn't flinch at all; instead, he greeted the man with an air of enjoyment.

"Bang!"

The fist slammed into his abdomen, and his fat belly caved in.

"Hehehe! My baby's tummy is thundering!" the bearded man said in a coquettish tone.

"Gurgle!"

The next instant, a loud bang came from his stomach, and his round belly suddenly contracted, trapping Chen Yi's hand.

He grinned foolishly and said, "Come on, handsome young man, I'll give you my heart and my lungs!"

Wu Lingyao and Yu Qian both looked at the two of them with strange expressions.

Chen Yi felt utterly disgusted.

"laugh!"

Unable to bear it any longer, he unleashed his full power of pure Yang energy.

"ah!!!"

The bearded man's face was instantly distorted by the intense heat.

"Bang!"

Weighing two hundred pounds, he flew like a ball and crashed into a dead tree, fainting from the shock.

"You, why aren't you affected?"

The man with the mustache stared wide-eyed.

He glanced at the green bottle in his hand, then sniffed the white smoke emanating from it, confirming that the toxin was still present.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and said to Wu Lingyao and Yu Qian, "These three guys are disgusting. You shouldn't get involved. Leave this to me."

"One against three, is that alright?"

Wu Lingyao and Yu Qian looked worried.

"Don't worry!" Chen Yi said confidently.

He wouldn't have said something like that if he wasn't sure.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the man with the mustache.

The other party is still using green bottles to release poison, so we can't just ignore it.

"Damn it! Don't come any closer! Second brother, save me!"

A man with a mustache looks like he's only good at poisoning people from behind, and his fighting ability in a direct confrontation is average.

"You brat, don't even think about hurting my brother!"

The man with the goatee formed hand seals, and several sword energies attacked Chen Yi's side.

He roared with a ferocious expression, "Die!"

"call out!"

Suddenly, the Yangwen Sword burst out of Chen Yi's backpack, carrying a fierce wind-like sword aura.

Entry [Wind Chaser Swordsman], activated!

The combination of wind and sword creates unparalleled power!

The goatee-bearded man's attack was instantly wiped out by the wind sword energy!

The Yangwen Sword continued to fly towards the man with the goatee.

"not good!"

The man with the goatee stared wide-eyed, but had no time to dodge and could only raise his magical power to protect himself.

"puff!"

The Yangwen Sword pierced through his magical shield in an instant, passing right through his neck...

His gaze gradually became unfocused, and his head drooped down.

"Second brother!"

Upon seeing this, the man with the mustache's eyes widened in fury.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"My dear second brother! It's all ruined, everything is ruined!"

He screamed as he fled into the thick fog.

They even abandoned their third brother, who was unconscious and had a thick beard.

But he hadn't gone far when he saw the girl in the pale yellow dress and the cold-faced girl blocking his way.

"No, no, no, let me go, let me go! I'll give you the antidote!" he pleaded desperately, his face changing.

A moment later, Chen Yi also walked over and said calmly, "Isn't handing over the antidote the right thing to do?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The man with the mustache nodded repeatedly.

He took a red bottle out of his storage bag, pretending to hand it to Yu Qian, but instead he suddenly squeezed the bottle so hard it burst.

"Bang!"

A violent explosion swept outwards, comparable to a dozen fully-developed fireballs exploding at once.

"Hahaha! You will all have to be buried with my second brother!"

The man with the mustache held a "fire escape talisman" in his hand and retreated rapidly the moment the flames swept through.

However……

"Clang!"

A wisp of blue light appeared and shredded the talisman!

The next instant, his gaze began to plummet downwards...

His head was separated from his body, and his body was also chopped into pieces by a large amount of cyan sword energy.

On his deathbed, he saw a bead the size of a longan continuously releasing sword energy...

Then, the world was plunged into eternal darkness.

"Sigh... Luckily I set up the sword formation in advance." Chen Yi shook his head as he picked up the storage bag from the ground.

It just so happens that he doesn't have a storage bag yet, and this man with the mustache is the only one of the three brothers who has one, so now he's benefiting from it.

Are you alright?

After retrieving the storage bag, Chen Yi returned to the site of the explosion.

A large crater had been blasted out there, and the smoke and flames were still lingering.

With a wave of her hand, Yu Qian sent a golden shield back to her wrist as it transformed into a stream of light.

It's another magical artifact, and a defensive one at that!

"It's nothing." Wu Lingyao shook her head.

Chen Yi had to use two protective talismans to withstand it.

I feel a numbness in my internal organs now.

But as he circulated the secret technique, the pure yang energy nourished his internal organs, and the uncomfortable feeling gradually subsided.

To the three of them's surprise, the bearded man also collapsed around the fire pit, his body charred beyond recognition...

"He must have woken up just now and wanted to come and help his older brother, but he was caught in the blast and lost his life," Wu Lingyao calmly analyzed.

The group remained silent for a long time.

Chen Yi tossed the storage bag he had picked up, "This storage bag..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Qian said, "Take it! This was mainly thanks to you. Besides, you don't have a storage artifact yet, do you?"

Chen Yi nodded slightly and accepted it without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, he erased the mustache man's mark and branded it with his own.

With a thought, he opened the storage bag and found three bottles of pills, a secret manual, and a secret realm token inside.

By scanning the bottles of pills with his divine sense, he was able to learn their names.

"Aphrodisiac pills? Invincible penis pills?" Chen Yi's lips twitched slightly. I can't use these.

In addition, there was a bottle of "Spirit Transformation Powder Antidote," which should be the antidote. He handed the bottle of pills to the two women.

As for that secret manual, it was a technique called "Three Phases Blood Refining Divine Skill".

To cultivate this skill, one must have three blood brothers, and during the cultivation period, the three brothers must maintain the same cultivation level.

However, when the three of them simultaneously cultivate to the point of perfect Qi Refining, the person who leads this cultivation method will be promoted to the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

At that time, he will be able to refine the blood and bones of his other two brothers and condense the "blood is thicker than water true spiritual energy".

Moreover, the two brothers' physical bodies will not be wasted; they can be refined into two powerful medicines using cultivation techniques to replace the rare and precious materials needed for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"What a vicious technique!" Chen Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

If this man with the mustache were to master it, he would only need to collect one more type of true spiritual energy to meet the requirements for establishing a foundation in the earth.

No wonder he was horrified when he saw the goatee die, and even shouted things like "It's ruined."

Chen Yi muttered to himself, "Is this the treacherous world of cultivation? Everyone here is a beast!"

Compared to that, being forced to cultivate by the daily schedule and tribulations seems like nothing at all.

At least I have indeed become stronger and have the ability to protect myself.

"Hiss~"

With a single fireball, he reduced the "Three Phases Technique" manual to ashes.

If you can't use it yourself, no one else can either.

Moreover, if such a vicious cultivation technique were to become known to righteous cultivators who uphold absolute justice, the consequences would be comparable to, or even worse than, his drug trafficking activities in the Dragon Kingdom in his previous life...

After the two women finished taking the poisonous Hualing Powder, they began to meditate and regulate their breathing.

That Spirit-Dissolving Powder is extremely vicious. At first, it only dissolves magical power, preventing people from unleashing their true strength.

However, if the poisoning lasts for a long time, one's cultivation level will decline.

Fortunately, they hadn't been poisoned for very long, but they still needed to circulate their cultivation techniques to regulate their breathing for a while, otherwise their cultivation would have been somewhat affected...

Chen Yi also took this opportunity to ask Wu Lingyao about the method of nurturing a flying sword.
