"Too strong!"
The surrounding Miao Clan members who witnessed this scene felt their scalps tingling in terror.
"Don't clash with him head-on! Attack him from a distance using spiritual power techniques or magical artifacts!" someone shouted loudly.
"Want to compare artifacts with me?"
The giant revealed a cold smile.
The next moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Over a hundred magical artifacts flew out from the giant's body, all activating simultaneously, bombarding outwards in all directions.
Among them, more than thirty were Primordial Treasures, while the rest were all Innate Treasures!
Aah!...
Immediately, dense screams erupted all around.
Such a massive number of Innate Treasures and Primordial Treasures erupting simultaneously unleashed a power far too terrifying. Even those Sea Splitting Realm experts were forced to frantically retreat, unable to withstand it.
"Die!"
The giant bent slightly at the waist, stomped the ground with both feet, leaped into the air, and charged towards the crowd like a massive cannonball fired from a barrel.
In one swoop, he crushed over a hundred people to death!
This was practically a one-sided massacre!
Even those Sea Splitting Realm late-stage experts, faced with this giant, could at most withstand a dozen or so moves before being either killed or maimed.
"Halt!"
Suddenly, from deep within the city, an extremely powerful energy aura soared into the sky.
Swoosh!
A grey-robed elder arrived through the air, holding a long sword in his hand, and slashed from afar.
This was an early-stage Lightning Tribulation Realm expert!
The Miao Clan's strength fell short compared to the Pang Clan. Being able to deploy a Lightning Tribulation Realm expert to garrison this branch stronghold was already a sign of significant importance.
Boom!
The giant didn't dodge or evade, instead punching forward.
Clang! Clang!...
The giant and the grey-robed elder became locked in fierce combat.
Every slash from the grey-robed elder released a sharp blade of sword energy as large as a door plank, which the giant directly countered with his fists.
The battle between these two powerhouses was far too terrifying. Raging waves of combat energy radiated outwards, forcing the surrounding Miao Clan members not to dare approach.
"How is this possible?! He dares to block so many of my sword strikes with mere flesh and blood! Is his body forged from Primal Chaos True Gold?"
The grey-robed elder was both shocked and furious to the extreme.
His longsword struck the giant's fists, sparks flying and metallic clangs ringing out, yet it couldn't leave even a single shallow scratch.
Bear in mind, not even a Lightning Tribulation Realm late-stage expert would dare block his longsword with their fleshly body!
How was one supposed to fight this?
The longer the grey-robed elder fought, the more alarmed he became, and thoughts of retreat gradually surfaced.
"Retreat!"
Suddenly, the grey-robed elder roared, turned, and fled.
Boom…
The giant took large strides in pursuit, catching up to the grey-robed elder in just a few steps.
A fist resembling a small mountain peak fiercely struck out.
"So fast!"
The grey-robed elder was greatly alarmed and had no choice but to fight back.
Boom! Boom!...
Both sides fought fiercely for dozens of moves.
The grey-robed elder had not a shred of fighting spirit left. Once again, he turned to flee.
"You can't escape!"
The giant caught up to him in a lightning-fast step and punched out.
Bang!...
The grey-robed elder was struck squarely, his body sent flying high into the air like a kite with its string cut, constantly spurting blood.
Next.
Bang!
The giant swiftly delivered another punch.
Puh!
The grey-robed elder's body was shattered into pieces, dying miserably on the spot.
"Run!"
The other Miao Clan members who saw this were all frightened out of their wits, fleeing for their lives.
Boom…
The giant leaped into the air once more, charging towards the fleeing Miao Clan members like a steel juggernaut.
Aah!...
Screams of agony rose incessantly; anyone even slightly grazed by the giant instantly exploded, dying without a complete corpse.
A short while later.
Within this Miao Clan branch stronghold, not a single living soul remained. Piled-up corpses formed hills, and flowing blood became rivers, making it resemble a slaughterhouse.
Then, the giant seventy-zhang-tall figure began to shrink continuously.
"My current physical strength can combat early-stage Lightning Tribulation Realm experts. That's quite decent," Ye Yunfei clenched his fists, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Everyone, come out. Take everything valuable."
Ye Yunfei willed it, teleporting out several hundred people, and spoke.
Hu Miao, Huang Shang, Hong Bai, Wu Hua, and Yang Xiaohu, among others, all emerged.
"Big Brother, even Sea Splitting Realm experts aren't your match!" Yang Xiaohu asked in shock. He had seen several Sea Splitting Realm corpses, as the energy within them hadn't yet dissipated.
"What Sea Splitting Realm? There's even a Lightning Tribulation Realm expert over there," Hu Miao curled her lips, pointing at a partially remaining mangled corpse in the distance.
"Indeed, it's a Lightning Tribulation Realm expert! Big Brother, you actually killed a Lightning Tribulation Realm expert!" Yang Xiaohu felt extremely stunned.
"Alright, enough chatter. Move quickly," Ye Yunfei said.
"Big Brother, at the next branch stronghold, let me come out and kill a few too. I also want to record it with a recording crystal to keep as a souvenir," Yang Xiaohu said.
"Fine," Ye Yunfei laughed.
During this time, Ye Yunfei had come to understand one of Yang Xiaohu's personality traits: he loved showing off.
A moment later, Ye Yunfei led everyone away.
Over the next few days, Ye Yunfei led his group and wiped out over twenty more Miao Clan branch strongholds in one go.
Although these Miao Clan branch strongholds had all strengthened their defensive forces.
However, the strength of the Giant Arm and Ye Yunfei had both increased significantly.
Especially the Giant Arm; not to mention Lightning Tribulation Realm, it could even handle Domain Realm late-stage experts.
Therefore, how could these Miao Clan branch strongholds withstand the combined assault of Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm? Each stronghold was swiftly eliminated like fallen leaves swept away by an autumn wind.
When the news spread, the entire Tianluo Star Sea was shaken once again.
"Dammit! Why are they only targeting our Miao Clan! In these past few days, not a single Pang Clan branch stronghold has been destroyed, yet over twenty of our Miao Clan's have! Who in the world is doing this?!"
Within the Miao Clan headquarters, Miao Hanlin roared repeatedly, in a state of frenzy.
The losses for the Miao Clan were too great!
Adding the fifteen branch strongholds destroyed earlier, the Miao Clan had lost over thirty branch strongholds in total, along with a large number of experts, including over ten Lightning Tribulation Realm experts!
Furthermore, the combined wealth possessed by those over thirty branch strongholds also amounted to a staggering sum!
"Patriarch, it appears that the other party's actions these past few days are clearly specifically aimed at our Miao Clan. Who exactly has our Miao Clan offended?" a certain elder frowned and said.
"I think it might still be the work of that giant arm. Since our Miao Clan is weaker than the Pang Clan, they want to eliminate our Miao Clan first before dealing with the Pang Clan," another elder stated.
"Grand Elder, one month has passed. Choose an auspicious day to transplant the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian from that little wild spawn into Crown Prince Miao Yifan's body. Then, I personally will take that little wild spawn to the Pang Clan."
"The enemy's strength is formidable, and they've remained in the shadows, their whereabouts elusive. Relying solely on our Miao Clan's power, we cannot handle them. Our Miao Clan must form an alliance with the Pang Clan," Miao Hanlin thought for a moment and said.
"In five more days, it will be an auspicious day," the Grand Elder calculated and said.
"Very well. Then set it for five days later!" Miao Hanlin nodded.
"Patriarch, I have a suggestion. Five days later, we can host a grand celebration ceremony for Crown Prince Miao Yifan, announcing to the entire Tianluo Star Sea that the Crown Prince is naturally gifted with the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian, and it has successfully awakened," the Grand Elder proposed.
"Good idea! Crown Prince Miao Yifan is the most monstrously talented young genius of our clan. Awakening the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian on top of that means his future potential is limitless! This foretells that our Miao Clan's future development will flourish!" Other high-ranking Miao Clan members nodded in agreement upon hearing the Grand Elder's words.
"Fine. It's decided then," Miao Hanlin nodded.
"However, during this period, we must dispatch a portion of our clan's experts to various branch strongholds to strengthen their defenses. Especially the most important ones; they must not be lost," Miao Hanlin said.
