My Silly, Sweet Wife

Pfft!

Dongfang Hong spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and heavily fell to the ground, his face full of terror.

Ye Guichen also showed a hint of surprise.

Indeed, high-level experts are different.

If it had been someone at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm or lower, they would have long turned into a dried corpse by now.

But now, Dongfang Hong merely spat out a breath, his Dantian was damaged, yet the other parts were surprisingly unharmed.

”You, what did you do to me?”

Dongfang Hong was terribly frightened, unable to conceal his inner fear any longer.

It was too strange.

This feeling was as if some expert had suddenly launched a dimension-reducing attack, leaving him completely defenseless.

Ye Guichen walked up to Dongfang Hong and sneered coldly, ”You said it yourself, it’s no big deal to die here, so, sorry!”

There’s no need to explain to a dead man.

With that, he raised the Immortal Slayer Sword, intending to kill Dongfang Hong.

Dongfang Hong had no strength to resist at all, and under a strong desire to survive, he shouted loudly, ”You can’t kill me, I, I have a gigantic secret, it’s a secret known only to the Dongfang Family, related to Dongfang Yue’s accidental intrusion into the White Mist Valley. If you spare me, I, I’ll tell you this secret.”

Ye Guichen’s sword paused in mid-air.

He felt that Dongfang Yue’s disappearance wasn’t that simple, which was why he wanted to come to White Mist Valley to take a look, to perhaps seek some opportunity to improve his cultivation.

Originally, he just wanted to slowly search and had no intention of learning from others, but now Dongfang Hong had come up and volunteered it.

”Is that so?” Ye Guichen lowered the Immortal Slayer Sword and squatted in front of Dongfang Hong, ”Then tell me, is your secret worth swapping for your life?”

”Die!”

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Hong’s face suddenly twisted menacingly, he roared, waved his hand, and a cloud of red powder flew directly towards Ye Guichen’s face.

Because the speed was too fast, and Ye Guichen was too close, even though Dongfang Hong’s Dantian was damaged, Ye Guichen still didn’t react in time.

”Haha, this is a highly toxic poison extracted from the body’s poison toad, even a Qi Refining Expert can’t resist it, you’ll die in ten minutes! Boy, you were too arrogant, never imagined I’d have this move, right? You ruined me today, but I won’t let you have it easy!”

While cursing, Dongfang Hong wobbled and stood up, reaching to grab the Immortal Slayer Sword from Ye Guichen’s hand.

In Dongfang Hong’s view, with Ye Guichen poisoned like this, he was sure to die.

Although his Dantian was destroyed, he managed to survive.

As long as he presented the Immortal Slayer Sword to the Dongfang Clan Leader, perhaps he could still manage to live.

Yet, as Dongfang Hong reached out to grab the Immortal Slayer Sword, he found that the poisoned Ye Guichen wasn’t showing the expected symptoms.

Based on previous experience, once poisoned by this toxin, one would collapse on the spot, with disgusting large lumps rapidly appearing on the body, just like a toad.

Those lumps would quickly turn red, absorbing the body’s essence within ten minutes, then rupture.

Once the lumps ruptured, the person would die.

”Hmm?” Dongfang Hong looked up at Ye Guichen’s face.

Ye Guichen’s expression remained calm, except for some red powder on his face, there was no other change.

Moreover, the anticipated screams didn’t occur.

”Sorry, I’m not afraid of poison,” Ye Guichen grinned, brushing off the poison powder on his face and reaching towards Dongfang Hong with his powdered hand.

Frightened, Dongfang Hong recoiled, only to fall to the ground.

”You, are you human or ghost? How is this possible! How can this be?”

”That poison is highly toxic! Even a Qi Refining expert at the fifth level would die, how did you manage it?”

”Stay away, stay away! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you that secret.”

Ye Guichen shook his head, ”I was initially interested in the secret you mentioned, thinking it might be worth your life, but you didn’t cherish it. Now, I’m not interested in your secret anymore.”

With that, he slapped Dongfang Hong’s face, sending him flying.

After Dongfang Hong was sent flying, he immediately began convulsing.

Then, he cried out in pain endlessly.

In no time, his body started forming lumps, then ruptured.

Within just three minutes, Dongfang Hong died in agony, his body turning into a stinking pus.

”How disgusting!”

Ye Guichen naturally understood the treacherousness of human nature. Luckily, since childhood, he had been soaked in various herbs by his master and was already immune to all poisons. Otherwise, today he might have fallen for Dongfang Hong’s scheme.

Glancing at the now unrecognizable corpse of Dongfang Hong, Ye Guichen noticed that most things in the pus had been corroded, showing that the poison was indeed highly corrosive.

However, there seemed to be a porcelain bottle and two Spirit Stones left in the pus.

Ye Guichen used a branch to pick out the porcelain bottle and Spirit Stones, then wiped them clean with leaves.

He put the Spirit Stones into his pocket, opened the porcelain bottle, and smelled it, discovering it contained ten Innate Pills and no other pills.

It seems that even for the elders of the Dongfang Family, slightly higher-level pills are luxuries.

These Innate Pills were useless for him and he had given over a hundred to Chu Tiannan last time.

But having them was better than nothing.

He casually pocketed them and finally turned his gaze to the Soft Sword that Dongfang Hong had previously wielded.

In their earlier fight, they hadn’t directly clashed swords, just used the True Qi within the Qi Refiner’s body to unleash through their treasured swords.

Since Dongfang Hong coveted his sword so much, the Immortal Slayer Sword must be better than the Soft Sword, right?

Thinking this, Ye Guichen took both swords in his hands and struck them together.

Clang!

The Heavy Sword, although cumbersome, easily sliced the Soft Sword in two, the cut smooth.

Ye Guichen chuckled, tossing the Soft Sword aside.

”Turns out it’s just scrap metal.”

If anyone had heard Ye Guichen say this, they’d surely be spitting blood in anger.

After all, Dongfang Hong was an elder of the Dongfang Family, how could he use scrap?

That Soft Sword was among the top three in the Dongfang Family, yet Ye Guichen treated it as scrap metal.

But Ye Guichen possessed the sword tomb of the Carefree Sword Immortal, so naturally, he wouldn’t look up to such a Soft Sword.

By the way, when he had time, he had to go back to the sword tomb to see if he could find another sword.

According to the legacy of the Carefree Sword Immortal, at his peak, he could wield over a thousand swords at once, unmatched and majestic.

Ye Guichen’s realm had improved slightly now, and while still far from the Carefree Sword Immortal, he should be able to try dual-wielding.

With such random thoughts in his mind, Ye Guichen finally had time to survey his surroundings.

Previously entangled by a giant spider, Ye Guichen ran all over the place, only to find himself unclear of his location.

Surrounded by white mist and dense forest, the sky was obscured, making it impossible to discern direction.
