“Execute them!”
The voice of the black-robed elder, filled with cruel amusement, rang out.
Thud! Thud!
The five burly men holding broadswords, with faces as cold as executioners, swung their blades down.
In an instant, five lives of Ye Family clansmen were snuffed out, blood splattering across the ground. The five bloody heads were a heart-wrenching, shockingly real sight.
"Aghh..."
Many of the other captured Ye Family members roared in frenzied grief, their eyes bloodshot, their hearts as if being cut by knives.
Some struggled with such ferocity that the iron chains binding them cut into their skin, causing bloody flesh to gush forth, a sight too painful to endure.
“Haha... Enjoy the process, watching your clansmen be killed one by one before your very eyes until your family is exterminated.
Don't resent me.
Resent Ye Yunfei, that bastard little scum. It is him who has brought this calamity of family extermination upon your Ye Family.”
The black-robed elder watched everything unfolding before him with a cruel, almost appreciative gaze, and gave a cold laugh.
In the distance, the onlookers felt scalps tingling with horror.
In the blink of an eye.
Another hour passed.
“Kill five more.”
The figure of the black-robed elder reappeared, walking out from within the city gate.
Five men holding sharp broadswords each strode toward a different captured Ye Family member.
“You beast! If you want to kill, kill me! Come at me! Let the others of the Ye Family go!” Ye Tianpeng roared, his eyes bloodshot, on the verge of madness and collapse.
The Ye Family’s development to its current state had been hard-won. To think it would all be destroyed in a single moment. Ye Tianpeng was having difficulty accepting it.
“Hehe, that feeling is not pleasant, is it? However, I won't kill you yet, not for now. I plan on letting you personally watch your own son die right before your eyes!” the black-robed elder sneered.
His laughter was like sharp steel needles, piercing the hearts of many onlookers with a chilling pain.
The people of the Imperial City Li Family were too terrifying! They absolutely must not be provoked!
At the same moment.
On a wide road not far from Yuanyue City, a red demonic horse, moving at astonishing speed, was closing in on the city.
“We're almost at Yuanyue City! Ye Family, hold on! You must wait for me to return!” Ye Yunfei, atop the demon horse, was frantic with anxiety.
As he drew closer and closer to Yuanyue City, Ye Yunfei’s anxiety only grew more intense.
“We’re here!”
Not long after, finally, a city appeared on the horizon at the end of the road, within Ye Yunfei’s field of vision.
Yuanyue City—he had finally returned!
Outside the gates of Yuanyue City.
“Alright, carry out the executions. Make it clean.”
The black-robed elder waved his hand.
Five men holding broadswords had long since taken positions behind five different Ye Family members, their blades raised high and ready to strike.
Under the gaze of numerous eyes, the five broadswords shimmered with a cold, menacing light that sent shivers down one's spine.
*Swish! Swish! Swish!*
The five blades descended simultaneously towards the necks of the five Ye Family members.
Around them, all the Ye Family members shut their eyes tightly, faces contorted in excruciating pain, their hearts feeling as if stabbed by blades!
However.
The next moment.
A figure, like a ghost, abruptly appeared.
“DIE!”
A hoarse roar, saturated with ultimate fury, erupted.
*Shoom!*
A longsword swept through the air.
Rolling waves of sword radiance instantly bloomed, as splendid and dazzling as a peacock spreading its tail, breathtakingly beautiful, hauntingly gorgeous.
*Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!*
Five bloody heads were simultaneously sent flying.
This sudden change happened too quickly, too abruptly.
So much so that most of the onlookers in the vicinity didn’t even know what had transpired!
The five broadsword-wielding burly men had already become headless corpses, each collapsing onto the ground.
What happened?
All the Ye Family members sensed that something seemed amiss.
Those Ye Family members tied to the iron pillars, whose consciousness was still clear, opened their eyes simultaneously and looked over.
A youth holding a longsword had appeared in the field!
In the youth's gaze was an overwhelming fury and hatred. His body trembled slightly, and an astonishing killing intent surged out from within him, causing the temperature within dozens of yards to plummet!
On the blade of the longsword, blood continuously dripped.
“Who are you!”
The black-robed elder narrowed his eyes and questioned.
“Ye Yunfei.”
Ye Yunfei answered, his gaze icy and penetrating as it locked onto the black-robed elder, his tone deceptively calm.
But this calm seemed to herald an impending storm.
Just now, at the most critical moment, Ye Yunfei had finally arrived.
Seized by violent rage, Ye Yunfei channeled his movement technique at its absolute fastest possible speed, dashed through the crowd of onlookers, raised his sword, and cut down those five burly men.
Witnessing the Ye Family clansmen bound to the iron pillars, tortured and deformed beyond human recognition, Ye Yunfei’s wrath erupted like a volcano. His eyes were already bloodshot.
“Hu Miao, keep watch for me. Not a single one of these people from the Imperial City Li Family can be allowed to escape!” Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao.
“Understood, Master. I have already locked onto the aura of every single one of them. They won’t escape.”
Hu Miao replied.
Hu Miao’s current strength was equivalent to Profound Realm Late Stage! One whole realm higher than even the reclusive elder of Tianyuan Sect.
Moreover, the Primordial Heavenly Fox race was inherently skilled in cultivating Soul Power and Illusion Arts.
It was impossible for anyone targeted by a Primordial Heavenly Fox to escape!
“Fei'er, you're back!”
“Young master Ye Yunfei has returned!”
…
The hundreds of Ye Family members bound to the iron pillars stared at Ye Yunfei walking from the distance, and only then finally regained their senses, shouting out one after another.
Seeing Ye Yunfei appear so suddenly, the surrounding crowd of onlookers was also greatly shocked.
“Fei'er, run! Quickly! They are from the Imperial City Li Family! You are no match for them! Run!”
After the initial joy and shock, Ye Tianpeng’s expression drastically changed as he roared.
“Yes! Young master Ye Yunfei, you must escape! Right now, you are the only hope of our Ye Family!”
“Young master Ye Yunfei, flee! Later, you must avenge us!”
…
Many Ye Family members, upon hearing Ye Tianpeng’s roar, also reacted.
They all knew Ye Yunfei was formidable.
He could even kill Heaven Realm Experts.
But this time, the people sent by the Imperial City Li Family numbered over a dozen Heaven Realm Experts!
No matter how strong Ye Yunfei was, it was impossible for him to be a match for them!
“Haha… Ye Yunfei, so it is you, that bastard little scum! You passed by heaven's open path, unwilling to walk it, yet now stubbornly charge through the gates of hell.
Bastard scum, I hadn’t expected you to dare return to Yuanyue City to seek death. Well, that's fine too. It saves me the trouble of going to Tianyuan Sect to find you.”
The black-robed elder laughed coldly.
He had discovered that Ye Yunfei’s strength was merely Late Stage Earth Realm.
He didn't even regard such strength as worthy of his attention.
“Capture him!”
The black-robed elder waved his hand.
A dozen-plus subordinates charged toward Ye Yunfei.
“KILL!”
Ye Yunfei took a step forward, the longsword in his hand erupting with rolling waves of sword radiance. For several yards around him, sword winds howled, sending dust and stones flying, sword energies rising and falling continuously.
*Thud!*
Like a man possessed, Ye Yunfei’s sword moved with extreme speed, plunging deep into the chest of one attacker, buried to the hilt.
“DIE!”
Ye Yunfei’s left fist simultaneously smashed out, seventy to eighty thousand jin of raw physical strength unleashed without reservation!
*Boom!*
The body of a brawny, tight-clothed man, struck by Ye Yunfei’s fist, instantly exploded, turning into a mist of blood, flesh, and bone fragments—not a single piece remained intact!
“Kill! Kill!...”
Ye Yunfei pushed his movement technique and speed to their absolute limits. Those around could only see afterimages, flickering like ghosts, continuously shifting.
Seventy to eighty thousand jin of physical power, mastery over sword intent reaching its highest levels, and a raging killing intent!
Right now, all Ye Yunfei could feel was bone-chilling rage and a crazed urge to kill.
The Ye Family’s suffering had pushed Ye Yunfei into complete, unbridled fury.
This time, if he hadn't received the message and hurried back in time, the Ye Family would have been exterminated!
In his past life, Ye Yunfei had already endured the agony of the Ye Family’s extermination!
In this life, he had nearly experienced it again!
One could imagine how ferocious the fury in Ye Yunfei’s heart truly was.
Under Ye Yunfei’s frenzied slaughter, within half a minute, the dozen-plus Li Family subordinates who had charged at him were all slain by Ye Yunfei.
Moreover, each had died in a gruesome manner—almost all were completely mutilated, bodies shattered into pieces!
And after killing these more than a dozen men, Ye Yunfei did not stop. Instead, he continued his charge toward the other members of the Imperial City Li Family present, continuing his crazed massacre!
“Go! Attack! Seize that bastard scum!”
The black-robed elder was also utterly provoked by Ye Yunfei’s actions, roaring the command.
Row after row of forces from the Imperial City Li Family charged toward Ye Yunfei.
