"You little punk, watch how I knock you down with just one hand! You call yourself a master, I’ll show you what’s high!"

With a weapon in hand, the fourth brother leaped towards Ye Fei while running his mouth.

"Fourth Brother, stop!" Duan Meng shouted, but the fourth brother didn’t halt, his blade still swiftly advancing towards Ye Fei."

The corners of Ye Fei’s mouth lifted slightly as he quickly stepped forward to meet the attack.

"Kid, you’ve got guts, looking for death!"

Clang!

A heavy weapon swung down, followed by a muffled thud.

When everyone looked again, they were all shocked on the spot.

"Impossible!"

The nearest fourth brother found it especially hard to believe.

How could he have imagined his thirty-pound mountain-splitting axe being firmly caught between just two fingers of this youngster?!

Though shocked, he didn’t concede defeat and tried to retract the axe head with force, aiming for a renewed attack.

But no matter how hard he pulled, several times, the axe didn’t budge an inch.

This surprised the Tianhai Sect’s five elders even more.

"Vajra Finger? To think such a young age, he has managed to use the Shaolin Vajra Finger with such ease; his strength is indeed not to be underestimated!"

The eldest of the five elders nodded and said.

The other elders deeply agreed.

However, Ye Fei sneered, "Vajra Finger? Hah, what garbage. Can it do this?"

Crack!

With a twist of Ye Fei’s wrist,

Another crisp metallic sound followed.

The alloy-forged mountain-splitting axe, just like a biscuit, was snapped off!

The fourth brother was also pushed back several steps by this force, ending up sitting on the ground with a thud.

"So strong!"

Stunned like a wooden chicken, the fourth brother looked up at Ye Fei and exclaimed in awe.

This move also deeply impressed the others.

Duan Meng laughed heartily, "How about that, my brothers, didn’t I tell you Brother Wu’s strength is unfathomable? You didn’t believe it, now do you?"

The rest remained silent, and the eldest with the whiskers conceded with his hands clasped together, "The young brother’s strength is indeed admirable, but our sect is now in a life or death situation, and we must proceed with caution."

"Therefore, until we’ve completely figured out whether you’re friend or foe, you’ll need to return to your room and rest, without stepping out. Come, please escort Brother Wu back to his room."

Several subordinates stepped forward, "Mr. Wu, please."

Ye Fei gave a cold smile and said to Duan Meng, "It seems that this place doesn’t welcome me much. Since that’s the case, I shall take my leave first."

Having said that, Ye Fei turned and left.

"Brother Wu, don’t be angry," Duan Meng caught up to persuade him.

And the eldest elder furrowed his brows tightly.

This secret passage was their last refuge, and he could not risk the slightest danger.

After exchanging a glance with two other elders, the three of them reached out to grab Ye Fei at the same time.

Ye Fei knew someone was attacking from behind, but he didn’t even turn his head and kept walking forward. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In his heart, he knew that with their strength, they couldn’t hurt him in the slightest.

But just as the three got close, the boy suddenly spoke up, "Stop!"

"Let this big brother go, I trust he won’t betray us."

"Young Master! We know nothing about him, what if...!"

The eldest elder stopped, turned back, and said anxiously.

But the boy was very insistent, "He’s a good person, I trust my judgment. I won’t allow you to stop him anymore!"

Seeing the young master speak this way, the elders dared not disobey and stepped back.

Such an act obviously touched Ye Fei a little.

So he stopped, turned around, and walked towards the boy.

"Hmm? What are you trying to do?"

"Stop!"

"Don’t take another step forward!"

"Quick, protect the young master!"

As Ye Fei walked straight towards the young master, all four elders moved to block him, each mustering their internal strength.

But just as they got half a meter from Ye Fei, they suddenly felt a powerful force coming towards them.

Boom!

The four elders couldn’t withstand it and were blown back seven or eight meters by the strong force.

"Don’t harm my familia...!"

The eldest elder had only shouted halfway when he realized that the young man had no nefarious intentions but was merely reaching out to take the young master’s pulse.

After a moment, Ye Fei looked over at the eldest of the five and asked, "Your young master has been injured by an inner force recently, hasn’t he?"

The eldest elder nodded in surprise, "Yes, young brother, do you also know medical arts?"

The young master’s injury was caused during the battle with the Pangu Sect, by Evil Cloud Venerable Xieyun’s palm strike, one of the Eight Venerables.

The Sect Master sacrificed himself to cover the others’ escape, enduring the combined forces of Evil Cloud, Mountain Shaker, Hai Wu, and over a hundred Pangu Sect experts alone.

In the end, he killed dozens of experts, fighting until exhausted and falling in battle.

Without replying to the eldest elder, Ye Fei asked the boy, "Have you felt a burning sensation in your internal organs in the last two days?"

The boy nodded, "Yes."

"Do you feel tightness in your back?"

"Yes."

Ye Fei took a deep breath, "Your young master’s inner force injury is deep; I fear his life is not long."

Upon hearing this, the boy’s eyes widened, and he bit his lip gently.

But the eldest elder paused for a moment then let out a hearty laugh, "Young friend, thank you for diagnosing our young master. However, your conclusion is something I cannot agree with."

The eldest elder stepped beside the boy, bowed deeply, and then said to Ye Fei, "Without hiding the truth from you, our young master’s inner force injury has already been resolved by me."

"As for those minor symptoms you mentioned, they’re just signs of after-effects that will fade away over time. To say his life is at risk is a bit alarmist."

The second, third, and fourth elders also laughed and said, "Young brother, although your kung fu is quite impressive, when it comes to medical knowledge, you are far behind our elder brother."

Duan Meng also came over, pulling on Ye Fei, "Brother, let me tell you, my elder brother is Daxia’s number one Divine Doctor, the direct disciple of the Holy Hand Cui Chengmiao of Tian Shan."

What he meant was clear: they were medical authorities, and Ye Fei was out of his depth.

However, Ye Fei was unimpressed and rolled up the boy’s sleeve.

"Look here, am I still being alarmist?"

The five elders looked closely and to their astonishment, they saw that the young master’s vein at the Sanli point on his arm had turned black!
