Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

When Xu Jiangtao was looking at Ye Fan, Ye Fan was also thinking about Xu Jiangtao. He found that although Xu Jiangtao's cultivation was not very good, only the second level of the Marquis Rank, the black needles shot by the opponent and the occasional collision sound of the long sword would bring a dizzy feeling to his mind...

At first Ye Fan thought it was quite tricky, but then the trace of white mysterious energy in his body began to circulate, and his mind instantly became clear again...

"Even if it's an external martial art, this is too outrageous..."

Xu Jiangtao's face darkened, and he pounced on Ye Fan again with the curved sword in his hand.

As for Liu Mengying, Lu Saomei was at the first rank of the Marquis rank. After a fight with Liu Mengying at the ninth rank, she was soon at a disadvantage. However, with the talisman given by Ye Fan, Lu Saomei was unable to do anything to Liu Mengying for a while, especially since Liu Mengying's fire attribute aura had a strong inhibitory effect on those poisonous snakes...

“Clang, clang!”

“Whoosh! Boom!~”

"Bang! Qiang!"

"Boom!"

After Xu Jiangtao fought with Ye Fan again, he retreated. He put away his sword and took out the flute from his waist. The next moment, bursts of flute sounds rang out...

The sound of Xu Jiangtao's flute was as depressing and unpleasant as before, and compared with before, the sound was even more full of resentment. Within a few breaths, everyone in the caravan started fighting each other with red eyes.

The circulation of Liu Mengying's profound energy also became disordered, and some of the talismans she threw out were deviated. Liu Mengying, whose strength was not as good as Lu Saomei, suddenly had several wounds on her body...

Seeing this, Ye Fan's eyes turned cold. He took a step forward, and his figure flashed. He instantly came in front of Xu Jiangtao. In a flash, the sharp edge of the mysterious energy in Ye Fan's hand pierced Xu Jiangtao's heart.

“You…poof!”

Xu Jiangtao only uttered the word "you" before he vomited blood, flew backwards, and rolled on the ground.

"Hoo! Boom!"

"Keng! Keng!"

At this time, Liu Mengying shot several flaming arrows, distanced herself from Lu Saomei, and the caravan members who were frantically attacking each other gradually regained their composure...

"Ok?"

Ye Fan was about to turn around to deal with Lu Saomei, but suddenly, his expression changed slightly. Almost at the same time, Xu Jiangtao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. A flash of light appeared on his hand, and a series of dense black needles shot at Ye Fan's eyes, throat, heart and other vital parts at various tricky angles, followed by several talismans...

“Clang! Clang clang!”

“Bang! Whoosh! Sizzle!”

While Ye Fan used the long stick in his hand to block all the black needles shot by Xu Jiangtao, the talisman cast by Xu Jiangtao also exploded not far in front of Ye Fan, and a large area of ​​gray-white smoke immediately enveloped a large area around it... The next moment, a spark burst out...

"Hoo! Boom!"

Ye Fan was immediately surrounded by the scorching fireball, and after doing all this, Xu Jiangtao did not make any follow-up attacks. Instead, he got up, turned around and ran into the dense forest behind him...

"You two beasts, remember this, I will not be a human being if I don't tear you into pieces!"

From far away in the dense forest came Xu Jiangtao's voice filled with deep hatred.

"Big brother!"

Liu Mengying didn't care about Xu Jiangtao's escape. She quickly shot a series of flaming arrows and talismans at Lu Saomei, and then ran towards Ye Fan. She circulated her profound energy and pulled the two fists fiercely, instantly separating the scorching fireball that trapped Ye Fan...

"call!"

Ye Fan let out a light cry and jumped out of the encirclement of the scorching fireball. At this moment, many parts of his body were on fire.

"This kind of talisman is quite interesting!"

Ye Fan looked at the fireball behind him that was still scorching and burning, and was quite surprised. The talismans he had made before were all used to launch various one-time attacks or defenses. This kind of talisman that trapped people like a prison was the first time he encountered it...

"Brother, are you okay?"

Liu Mengying looked at Ye Feng with great concern. She waved her hand, and the flames on Ye Fan's body suddenly burned even more fiercely.

"ah!"

Liu Mengying screamed and quickly retracted her Xuan Qi, and the blazing flames on Ye Fan's body became a little smaller.

After being stunned at first, Ye Fan reached out and quickly extinguished the flames on his body.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I wanted to control the flame and put it out, but it got bigger instead!"

Looking at Ye Fan, whose clothes were burnt all over his body, Liu Mengying looked guilty.

"Little Bean Sprout, it's okay! It's just a small flame, it can't hurt me!"

Ye Fan gave Liu Mengying a comforting look, and then he turned his head to look at the ground where Xu Jiangtao was lying, with a serious expression, because according to his estimation, his profound energy pierced Xu Jiangtao's heart, and the other party should have become a corpse, but...

"Ok?"

Ye Fan's eyes narrowed, and he quickly ran to the ground where Xu Jiangtao fell, and found a broken jade token on the slightly dented ground.

"This jade token... is very similar to the one worn by Ming Bowu... Ming Bowu should have died after receiving the fatal blow from me, but he didn't... Ming Bowu also had a jade token shattered and fallen off his body..."

"Could it be that this jade token with special patterns on it can help a person resist a fatal attack?"

Ye Fan looked at the broken jade token in his hand, and recalled what happened when he was captured by Ming Bowu in the capital...

"This jade token doesn't seem to be something that ordinary people can own... That guy named Xu Jiangtao seems to have an extraordinary background..."

Ye Fan muttered and put the jade token away.

"Big brother, that snake girl named Lu Saomei has also run away!"

At this time, Liu Mengying, who had been searching around, returned to Ye Fan and spoke.

"Little Bean Sprout, don't worry about them. This is not a place to stay for long. Let everyone treat their wounds and leave as soon as possible!"

.........

the next morning,

"Brother, what do you think that guy named Xu Jiangtao and Lu Saomei want to do with the ghost baby with a human face?"

"Are they raising ghost babies with human faces? How scary!"

While walking on the road, Liu Mengying spoke to Ye Fan in confusion.

"It's possible... From what they said, they seem to be from a certain sect... It was their sect leader's idea to find the human-faced ghost baby... And that human-faced ghost baby should be very important to them..."

Ye Fan answered while carrying a huge rock and practicing the mysterious movements recorded in the Tianyuan Fragments.

"Indeed, this Ailao Forest is really hard to travel through... There are all kinds of ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes, as well as monsters like human-faced ghost babies... There are also traps set up with noble-grade black bones... And you might run into a guy like Xu Jiangtao..."

"But fortunately, we are almost out, and the miasma and white fog that have been around have dissipated a lot..."

Looking at the injured members of the caravan behind her and the bandaged wounds on her own body, Liu Mengying felt quite emotional.

..........

at noon,

A rare open space.

"what!"

"Big brother, when I went to fetch water just now, I noticed there was a person standing in the air over there!"

Ye Fan was lighting a fire under the stove, preparing to eat, when suddenly, Liu Mengying came over carrying a cup of water.
