NOVEL WEB Chapter 623: Beginning the Counterattack
"""
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also noticed that the meridians within his body, after being washed with a massive amount of black energy, had become tougher and more expansive.
They could now withstand an even greater surge of vital energy.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei found that his dantian had enlarged significantly compared to before.
It could now accommodate more vital energy.
These changes were absolutely monumental.
They brought a tremendous boost to Ye Yunfei's strength.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei and his companions had already left the black tower-like structure, appearing outside.
"Well?"
"How was this Nine-layer Demonic Tower trial? Not bad, right?"
Ye Yunfei said with a smile to Luo Yao, who was standing beside him.
As soon as Ye Yunfei finished speaking, Luo Yao's eyes widened in shock, staring at him in disbelief.
"Not bad?" Luo Yao almost couldn't believe his ears. "Brother Ye, you're being way too modest! To break through such high levels this time is almost miraculous! And you say "not bad"?"
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly. He knew his growth in strength was substantial but didn't make a big fuss about it. He always acted low-key and despised showing off.
"Brother Ye, you must have gained so much during this tower trial, right?" Meng Shan approached and asked curiously.
Ye Yunfei nodded. His gains from this tower trial were indeed enormous. Not only had his physical strength increased greatly, but his meridians and dantian were also significantly improved.
"What shall we do next?" Luo Yao asked.
"Let's leave here first." Ye Yunfei replied. "Although this place is great for trials, it's not a place to linger. We need to continue searching for other opportunities."
Thus, Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao left the Xuanjian Sect and headed toward other destinations.
...
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao arrived at a mountain range.
The mountain range was imposing, with towering peaks layered upon one another, shrouded in mist, as if an Immortal Realm had materialized before them.
"This place seems rather unusual." Luo Yao gazed at the mountain range in front and spoke.
"Indeed." Ye Yunfei nodded. "This mountain range is rich in nature's spiritual energy, so there must be valuable things here."
"Let's go and take a look."
Thus, they ventured into the mountain range before them.
They discovered numerous rare spiritual medicines growing within the mountains. These herbs exuded a rich fragrance that made one feel refreshed and calm simply by breathing it in.
"These spiritual medicines are amazing treasures!" Luo Yao exclaimed, his eyes glowing.
"Indeed, these spiritual medicines are exceptionally rare." Ye Yunfei nodded in agreement.
Thus, they began collecting the spiritual medicines.
Soon, they had gathered a large pile of remarkable herbs.
"Brother Ye, how shall we divide these spiritual medicines?" Luo Yao asked while looking at the herbs in his hands.
"You guys can divide them among yourselves." Ye Yunfei replied. "I don't need these plants."
Being an alchemist, Ye Yunfei could craft all kinds of elixirs and didn't lack spiritual medicines.
"Alright then, we won't hold back." Luo Yao's face lit up with joy at Ye Yunfei's words, and he enthusiastically began dividing the herbs.
At that moment.
Suddenly.
A sharp wave of energy blasted forth from the distance, heading straight toward Ye Yunfei and his companions.
"Watch out!"
Ye Yunfei's expression changed instantly, and he immediately used his spatial teleportation skill to evade the attack.
Luo Yao, however, failed to react in time and was struck by the energy wave. He was blasted backward, hitting the ground far away and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Are you okay?"
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed as he appeared beside Luo Yao, asking with concern.
"I'm fine."
Luo Yao shook his head and slowly stood up.
"Brother Ye, what just happened?" Luo Yao asked, his voice tinged with unease.
"Someone ambushed us." Ye Yunfei said gravely. "Let's be more cautious."
After speaking, Ye Yunfei unleashed his divine sense and began scanning the area.
Very soon, Ye Yunfei discovered a tall, middle-aged man standing on a distant mountain peak, staring coldly at them.
"It's him!"
Ye Yunfei instantly recognized the middle-aged man, who had previously joined them in the trial within the black tower-like structure.
"Well, well, I didn't expect you to make it here."
The middle-aged man had also noticed Ye Yunfei and spoke coldly.
"What are you planning to do?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"Planning?"
The middle-aged man sneered. "I'm going to kill you and take your treasures. Anyone who can break through the Nine-layer Demonic Tower must have incredible treasures on them."
"Hmph, killing us won't be that easy." Ye Yunfei retorted with a cold smile.
He understood that this man was after their possessions, which enraged him deeply; he despised such vile acts of seeking to rob others.
"Kid, do you think just because you've made it through the Nine-layer Demonic Tower, you're something special? Let me tell you, in my eyes, you're nothing more than an ant."
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Today, I will show you what it means to be beneath the heavens and inferior to stronger men!"
As he finished speaking, the middle-aged man moved, lunging at Ye Yunfei.
His speed was astonishing, like a bolt of lightning, and in a flash, he was right in front of Ye Yunfei.
