But Not on You

Han Fei gripped his long blade in a reverse hold with his right hand and slashed horizontally at the Two-headed Sky Wolf's teeth.

Clang! The long blade struck the Two-headed Sky Wolf's fangs and instantly snapped into two pieces.

However, Han Fei was merely surprised. Holding the remaining half of the blade in his right hand, he thrust it backward toward one of the Two-headed Sky Wolf's eyes.

Squelch! The short blade pierced into an eye on the right head, and the entire half of the blade sank into it.

Han Fei knew that in his past life's world, no matter what animal it was, the eyes were invariably a vulnerable vital point. The monsters of this world should be no exception.

The Two-headed Sky Wolf immediately threw back its heads and roared. The intense pain drove it completely mad.

Han Fei did not give it much time. After the blade sank in, before the Two-headed Sky Wolf could shake its head and fling him away—

Han Fei followed up with a punch to its other head.

Bang! Force energy burst outward as Han Fei knocked the Two-headed Sky Wolf straight to the ground. Its entire body lay on its side.

Before the Two-headed Sky Wolf could get up, Han Fei's iron fists rained down upon its body.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A string of muffled impacts rang out as waves of force energy spread in all directions.

The twelve members of the An Yi Mercenary Group were all dumbfounded. Even the most severely injured man, leaning against the base of a large tree, forgot about his injuries as he stared wide-eyed at Han Fei beating the ferocious Two-headed Sky Wolf to death with his bare fists.

Han Fei was also somewhat exhausted now. Each punch carried less force than the last. In the end, he collapsed onto the Two-headed Sky Wolf's corpse.

The sharp-tongued woman regretted her words bitterly. She had never expected Han Fei to be this strong, to actually beat the Two-headed Sky Wolf to death by himself.

What was even more laughable was that, even now, no one had noticed Han Fei's cultivation. They had likely all been frightened senseless by the scene before them.

Han Fei slowly stood up. He had merely overexerted his strength; he had not lost much spiritual energy.

After spiritual energy circulated through his meridians several times, Han Fei's condition quickly recovered.

The middle-aged man also came to his senses and immediately knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the other mercenaries knelt as well, including those who were injured.

The sharp-tongued woman and the other man hesitated briefly before kneeling behind the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said, "Thank you, young hero, for saving us. This old man is Mo Chengying, and I offer you my gratitude."

Han Fei helped the middle-aged man up. "There's no need for this. Get up first. Actually, I only wanted to ask whether you had an herb called Three-leaf Clover. I wanted to trade for some. Seeing that you were occupied with something important, I did not dare interrupt and planned to ask after you were done."

The middle-aged man froze before slowly rising. "Three-leaf Clover? It is not particularly rare, but we do not have any on us. Why not return to Tian Yuan City with me? If the city has it, this old man will certainly trade for it for you."

Han Fei inwardly lamented his bad luck, but he said, "In that case, I'll first search around the Tianyuan Mountain Range. If I truly cannot find any, I'll visit Tian Yuan City."

The middle-aged man nodded. "The An Yi Mercenary Group will always await your visit, young hero. By the way, this Two-headed Sky Wolf..."

Han Fei waved a hand. "It naturally belongs to you."

With that, Han Fei cupped his fists and prepared to leave. Since he knew the middle-aged man's group did not have any Three-leaf Clover, there was no point in staying. He might as well save time and search for it.

However, as he passed the woman, Han Fei stopped and slowly brought his face close to hers.

The sharp-tongued woman did not know what Han Fei intended to do and slowly backed away in fright.

Han Fei narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "So you know fear too. That's good. It means you're still normal."

"Oh, and there was one thing you said right. I'm not a good person, but I haven't done anything bad to you. It's not your place to judge me. Behave yourself from now on."

With that, Han Fei turned and vanished into the forest.

It was only after Han Fei had been gone for a while that the woman came back to her senses. From that moment on, her arrogant and domineering nature vanished without a trace, as though Han Fei's words had awakened her.

Mo Chengying sighed beside her. "A genius. He truly is a genius. Innate Realm First Level, yet he actually beat a Sixteenth Level Monster to death with his fists. Such strength..."

Han Fei left, leaving behind only the bewildered An Yi Mercenary Group and the gradually cooling corpse of the Two-headed Sky Wolf.

The An Yi Mercenary Group was merely a small interlude in Han Fei's journey. Unfortunately, they did not have any Three-leaf Clover.

After parting ways with the An Yi Mercenary Group, Han Fei continued searching for Three-leaf Clover.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and Han Fei's cultivation had also broken through to Innate Realm Second Level.

Of course, his initial good fortune did not continue. He still failed to find even a single stalk of Three-leaf Clover.

He had found several stalks of Floating Spirit Grass and Jingyuan Flower, yet he had not found any Three-leaf Clover.

Han Fei was beginning to lose heart. After hunting dozens of monsters above level ten, his Storage Bag was nearly full.

In an open clearing, Han Fei rested against a large tree and sighed inwardly. "Wasn't Three-leaf Clover supposed to be easy to find? Why haven't I seen even one stalk? If I still can't find it, I may have to go to Tian Yuan City and buy some. They should have it there."

Fuxi said curiously, "Though it is not absolute, this environment truly is suitable for Three-leaf Clover to grow. How can there not be a single stalk?"

Yan Di said, "Perhaps people picked them all. Three-leaf Clover is not only the main ingredient for refining Spirit Gathering Pills, but also an auxiliary ingredient needed for several fourth- and fifth-grade pills. It is normal for people to harvest it all. If you buy Three-leaf Clover by itself, it will not be cheap either."

Han Fei was somewhat helpless. "What else can I do? I need Spirit Gathering Pills, so I have to find Three-leaf Clover."

Fuxi said, "Set aside the matter of finding Three-leaf Clover for now. Deal with what is in front of you first."

As soon as Fuxi finished speaking, dense fog appeared around them.

By the time Han Fei stood up, the area was already filled with thick fog, reducing his visibility to almost nothing.

Han Fei frowned warily. "This is... a monster above level twenty? How could there be a Twentieth Level Monster here?"

The place where Han Fei was located was at most a Fifteenth Level Monster region. A Twentieth Level Monster could not possibly appear here. That was why Han Fei was so surprised.

Chiyou said, "It's just a little White Snake at level nineteen. It hasn't reached level twenty yet. What are you getting worked up for?"

Pangu sighed. "Even if it is only level eighteen, the group leader's current strength is no match for it. Let me take over your body in a moment and help you kill it."

Han Fei silently nodded. At the moment, this was the only option.

Within the mist, a massive snake head slowly approached. Han Fei could only vaguely make out its outline and its two glowing green eyes.

Cold sweat slowly ran down Han Fei's face. Judging from the outline, the snake's head alone was nearly a meter wide. Did that not mean its body was at least ten meters long?

Having lived two lives, Han Fei had never seen such a massive creature.

As the snake head, constantly flicking its tongue, approached Han Fei, it also observed him carefully.

Han Fei clenched his fists as spiritual energy circulated throughout his body. Force energy continuously erupted from the ground beneath his feet, pushing his aura to its peak.

At that moment, the enormous white snake sensed Han Fei's spiritual energy and discovered that he was merely at Innate Realm Second Level. It immediately stretched out its head, opened its bloody maw, and charged straight at Han Fei.

Han Fei jumped in fright and prepared to let Pangu take over briefly.

However, at that moment, a woman's voice rang out beside Han Fei's ears.

"Jade Scale Snake Demon, let's see where you can run this time."

Suddenly, a woman in purple landed directly in front of Han Fei. Her hands moved in quick succession, and two silver longswords appeared out of thin air. They crossed and spun before her, shooting toward the Jade Scale Snake's head.

Buzz! A wave of spiritual energy spread out, forming a shield in front of the snake's head and protecting it behind it.

Clang! Clang! A series of small ripples spread out as the tips of the two swords repeatedly struck the shield, gradually shattering it.

By then, the Jade Scale Snake had retreated several meters. It could no longer spare attention to controlling the surrounding fog, which slowly began to disperse.

However, the woman in purple clearly had no intention of letting the Jade Scale Snake go. She spread her hands, and the two longswords vanished once more.

In front of the woman, phantoms of sword light appeared one after another. The sword light gradually spread, forming dozens of sword-light phantoms.

The woman pointed both hands at the Jade Scale Snake and roared, "Dragon Slaying Sword Art!"

Dozens of sword-light phantoms instantly passed through the Jade Scale Snake.

Han Fei could clearly see the sword light slicing past the area around the Jade Scale Snake's vital point. The Jade Scale Snake immediately froze in place.

The sword light gradually faded, leaving only a single physical longsword flying above the Jade Scale Snake. Within a few breaths, it plunged down from above and embedded itself in the ground beside the Jade Scale Snake, its blade trembling slightly. Then everything fell silent.
