The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 158: Chapter 156 Arrival

Everyone kept moving deeper, and after five minutes, they finally saw the exit of the corridor. Even Grandmaster Hu heaved a sigh of relief. Although a grandmaster can externalize their True Essence, protecting Ruan Xiaoyu while entering had been a big drain on his strength. Now that the exit was finally in sight, he too relaxed a bit.

”Everyone, hang in there, we’re almost at the exit...” Grandmaster Hu turned around, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw that out of the thirteen martial artists who had come with them, a shocking seven had fallen, having been infected by the deadly poisonous miasma, their bodies turned black, completely dead!

”It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let them come with us...” Regret shimmered in Ruan Xiaoyu’s eyes.

”Princess, don’t blame yourself. I warned them, yet they insisted on coming. If they lost their lives, it was because they overestimated their strength. Let’s get out quickly!” Grandmaster Hu said.

Afterward, Grandmaster Hu quickly left the deadly miasma corridor with Ruan Xiaoyu, and Fu Shen, along with the remaining six martial artists brought by Ruan Xiaoyu, also hurriedly left. Seeing that Ye Feng and Little Ai were also about to leave, both Grandmaster Hu and Ruan Xiaoyu were somewhat surprised.

After all, among the experts brought by Ruan Xiaoyu and Grandmaster Hu, seven had already died. They had assumed Ye Feng would not have survived either, but there he was, still with them.

Just when Ye Feng was only seven or eight meters from the exit, he suddenly stopped moving.

Little Ai, busy getting out, didn’t notice that Ye Feng had come to a halt.

”It’s so great, Brother Ye Feng, we’ve finally made it out. Although I’m immune, it was quite uncomfortable in there...” But just as Little Ai’s words fell, Xiaoyu was stunned to see that Ye Feng hadn’t come out with her.

Turning around, Little Ai saw Ye Feng standing still, sweat dripping down his forehead.

”Brother Ye Feng, what’s wrong?” Little Ai yelled anxiously.

After seeing this scene, Grandmaster Hu let out a cold laugh, ”As expected, he didn’t disappoint me. This kid is now infected with the miasma, and it’ll probably take less than a minute before he’s completely poisoned and dead.”

Fu Shen sneered disdainfully, ”Truly ignorant of the gravity of the situation. I was planning to deal with you after we got out, but you were so arrogant that you rushed in to seek death yourself. Now, it even saves me the trouble!”

Ye Feng now stood motionless in the middle of the miasma corridor, not responding to Little Ai. He wasn’t actually poisoned to the point of dying; instead, he had sensed that this deadly miasma was incredibly unique.

The deadly miasma contained a rich Spiritual Energy, and its purity and quality were comparable to that of a mid-grade Spirit Stone. After Ye Feng absorbed it into his body, it unexpectedly started to counteract the toxins within his system, gradually neutralizing the deadly miasma.

Ye Feng figured that if he were to absorb all of the deadly miasma, not only could his cultivation possibly recover somewhat, but the toxins settled in his body could also partly neutralize each other, providing him an unexpected benefit.

However, to outsiders, it appeared as though Ye Feng was as good as dead.

At this moment, Ye Feng’s face was blackened, appearing as if he was terminally poisoned and unable to free himself.

”Brother Ye Feng!” Little Ai shouted anxiously, while Fu Shen coldly said, ”No need to shout, this pretty boy is done for.”

”Whoosh!” In an instant, Little Ai dashed out and ran towards Ye Feng, coming directly in front of him.

”Brother Ye Feng, I’ll take you out!” Little Ai called urgently, not waiting for a response, she grabbed Ye Feng’s hand and pulled him out of the corridor, and soon they both rushed out together.

After they were out of the corridor, Little Ai took out a Detoxification Pill from her small bag and gave it to Ye Feng.

”Brother Ye Feng, this is a Detoxification Pill, take it quickly!” Without waiting for Ye Feng to speak, Little Ai immediately put the Detoxification Pill into Ye Feng’s mouth, making him swallow it.

Once Ye Feng left the deadly miasma corridor, his complexion completely returned to normal, though he still looked drenched in sweat and a bit weak.

”What a powerful Detoxification Pill!” Grandmaster Hu and the others watched Little Ai in surprise.

”Brother Ye Feng, are you all right?” Little Ai looked at Ye Feng with great concern.

Ye Feng shook his head, ”I’m fine, thank you, Little Ai.”

Although Little Ai didn’t actually help Ye Feng much, her intense worry and care for him still moved Ye Feng, and he naturally didn’t explain anything.

Everyone thought that Little Ai’s Detoxification Pill was formidable, but in reality, the miasma posed no threat to Ye Feng at all and, on the contrary, was greatly beneficial to him.

Little Ai herself was astonished, ”This is a Detoxification Pill I only recently developed, I didn’t expect it to work this well!”

Grandmaster Hu looked at Ye Feng coldly: ”Kid, don’t take on tasks beyond your abilities. If it weren’t for Miss Little Ai saving you, you’d be a corpse by now, do you understand? You should really thank Miss Little Ai!”

Ye Feng could only sigh and did not respond to Grandmaster Hu.

”Let’s not bother with him anymore, let’s go.” This time, Ruan Xiaoyu had completely lost all confidence in Ye Feng.

In Ruan Xiaoyu’s eyes, Ye Feng was not just mediocre; he was remarkably mediocre.

Everyone was convinced that Ye Feng was able to kill the Third and Fourth Elders of the Black Miao only because of luck, as they had let their guard down against him.

Otherwise, Ye Feng would have been dead by now, not standing here.

As the group continued deeper, everyone considered Ye Feng to be a burden, wishing they could walk faster and let Ye Feng die on his own.

Even Little Ai began to doubt whether last night’s success was because the Third and Fourth Elders’ Worm Skills had no effect on Ye Feng, and in their stunned state, they had lowered their guard, allowing Ye Feng to kill them instantly.

Otherwise, why was Ye Feng’s performance today so average, even mediocre?

As the group continued to move deeper, it wasn’t long before they saw a wave of incredibly rich Spiritual Energy ahead, like a vast tidal wave, crashing towards them.

”This Spiritual Energy!” Everyone was shocked, and Grandmaster Hu, feeling that pure and dense Spiritual Energy, began to tremble.
