Seeing that Ye Fei not only didn’t care about his threat but also showed a mocking look, the middle-aged man couldn’t keep his face anymore and shouted in a low voice, "Kid, prepare to die!"
As he said this, he put his two fingers together again and pointed at Ye Fei in the same way as before, but his speed was much faster and his strength was almost doubled compared to before.
At the same time, the two fingers turned slightly black.
Ye Fei felt another chill in his heart. He didn’t expect that this guy had hidden his strength before, and perhaps what he was using now was his real strength.
Thinking like this, Ye Fei couldn’t help but feel a bit of fear.
Fortunately, he had doggedly followed him. Otherwise, if Liu Junyi had encountered this guy, she wouldn’t have had any chance of winning at all.
And this also made him re-evaluate the terrifying power of the person behind the scenes. He could casually send out such a master. However, his strength was still far from enough in Ye Fei’s eyes.
What Ye Fei didn’t know was that the other side didn’t send him out "casually" at all.
It was precisely because Liu Junyi was too difficult to deal with that the person sent this middle-aged man with the surname Li, who was one of his three top masters. And this man’s strength was only on par with Liu Junyi’s.
As for the significant increase in strength this time, it was because Ye Fei’s attitude had angered him, and there was no assistance for Ye Fei here.
In addition, out of jealousy of Ye Fei’s great strength at such a young age, the middle-aged man used a secret method that would harm his body to instantly boost his attack power, wanting to kill him in one go to avoid further complications.
Ye Fei’s thoughts seemed long, but in fact, it was just in a split second.
Seeing the middle-aged man’s fingers almost reaching his chest, Ye Fei calmly raised his right hand, and his thumb, index finger, and middle finger came out together.
He pinched the fingers pointed by the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "These two fingers of yours are quite annoying." As he said this, he pinched his fingers hard.
"Ah!"
When the middle-aged man saw that he had so easily defused his attack and that he couldn’t exert any strength after his fingers were pinched by him, he clearly understood that the other’s strength was far superior to his own.
He was both shocked. Just as he was about to say something, he felt a piercing pain in his fingers.
Looking closely, he saw that the fingers he used as his main means of attack had been crushed by the other. The pain in his hand and the heartache made him involuntarily let out a shrill scream.
"Now, can you tell me your origin?"
After crushing the middle-aged man’s fingers, Ye Fei didn’t continue to trouble him. He simply let go of his hand, not afraid that he would run away because anyone with a bit of sense could see that he had no chance of escaping in front of him.
The middle-aged man wasn’t stupid, so he didn’t think of running away, but he didn’t answer Ye Fei’s question either. Instead, he asked in return, "Who on earth are you?"
The horror in his heart had made him even forget the pain in his hand.
As a capable subordinate of "that person," he had traveled all over the place over the years and had seen many masters, and even knew quite a few reclusive oddballs. But he had never heard of such a powerful master as the one in front of him.
Not to mention that the other person seemed to be less than twenty years old. So he couldn’t imagine what kind of place could cultivate such a person.
From the other person’s expression, Ye Fei knew that he must have been frightened by his strength, and he felt more confident. He smiled slightly and said, "You don’t need to care who I am. You just need to tell me who you are."
Seeing Ye Fei’s smile, the middle-aged man not only didn’t feel relieved but became even more nervous. His face changed several times before he gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Li Si, and I am the current sect master of the Xuanyin Sect."
Li Si? Ye Fei was speechless. He thought to himself, could this guy have traveled through time from the Qin Dynasty? But he wouldn’t ask such a stupid question. He still smiled and said, "The Xuanyin Sect? I’ve never heard of it. I don’t care which sect you are from. You just need to tell me who sent you."
Li Si’s face changed again, and he shook his head firmly. "I can’t tell you that!"
"Do you know what will happen if you don’t tell me?" Ye Fei put away his smile and raised his right hand to his chest, reminding him that he could take his life at any time.

This time, Li Si didn’t get nervous again. Instead, he showed a smile.
"Of course, I know. Once I fell into your hands, I didn’t expect to leave alive. It’s just a pity that I was too confident and chased out alone. Now I can’t send back the information about an invincible master like you."
Ye Fei didn’t expect that this seemingly sinister guy had such a heroic side. His dislike for him couldn’t help but lessen a lot.
However, although that was the case, his confession was extremely important, and he couldn’t do without it. So he said with a smile, "What if I capture you and spread the news? Will the person behind you come to talk to me?"
Li Si shook his head without hesitation.
"Not. For his grand plan, he can sacrifice anyone, including his relatives. And I am just a pawn in his hand."
"Then why are you still working for him? With your strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to lead a better life, should it?"
Ye Fei was extremely curious about his attitude. Could this guy be the reincarnation of Yue Fei?
Otherwise, why was he so blindly loyal?
"Because he has a great favor for our Xuanyin Sect. If it weren’t for him, our sect would have long disappeared from this world." Li Si showed a bitter expression on his face. "So even if I die, I won’t betray him."
Li Si’s words made Ye Fei like him even more, and for a moment, he didn’t want to kill him.
So he said, "I don’t want to kill you, but I can’t let you go until I settle the score with that person. How about you follow me for the time being? Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do."
Ye Fei wasn’t lying to Li Si.
Although he could use that device to obtain all of Li Si’s memories after capturing him, Ye Fei didn’t want to do that because he admired Li Si a bit.
As for the person behind him, even if he couldn’t get any information, Ye Fei was confident that he couldn’t do anything to himself and the people around him.
"I won’t and can’t go with you, but don’t worry, our Xuanyin Sect won’t help him anymore." Li Si shook his head gently, showing a resolute look on his face.
Seeing Li Si’s expression, Ye Fei was startled and asked hurriedly, "What’s the matter?"
Li Si raised his head to look at the dappled sky in the dense forest, showing a nostalgic expression on his face, and said with a light smile, "That person never trusts anyone, so everyone working for him has to take a kind of slow-acting poison that he managed to obtain with great effort.
And even he can’t neutralize this poison. If the person who takes the poison doesn’t get the temporary antidote from him once every three months, he will die in great pain. I don’t want to wait until that day, so I triggered the poison in advance."
Before he finished speaking, a trace of black aura appeared on his face, indicating that he was poisoned by some kind of deadly poison.
Ye Fei didn’t doubt his words at all and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. "Why bother? If we work together, maybe we can neutralize the poison you took soon."
Li Si could hardly stand at this time. His body swayed a few times, and he quickly reached out to hold onto a nearby tree to avoid falling.
But even so, there was an indescribable sense of relief on his face, and he said with a slight smile, "Even if it can be found, I don’t want to look for it anymore. I have lived too tired these years. To repay the favor, I led the disciples of the Xuanyin Sect to do many things against my conscience. Now they can finally be free, and I can also have a good rest."
As he said this, a painful expression flashed across Li Si’s face.
Ye Fei watched him quietly, feeling a bit reluctant in his heart, but he had no way. Because even if the antidote for the poison he mentioned could be found, it couldn’t be done overnight.
