"Ye Yunfei's combat prowess is too terrifying!"
"Worthy of being the most monstrously talented young man in our Yuanyue City!"
"And so what.
Provoking the Imperial City Li Family only leads to death.
Even if Ye Yunfei has returned, he can't change anything.
Just wait and see!"
"That's right. This time, to deal with the Ye Family, the Imperial City Li Family sent over a dozen Heaven Realm Experts.
No matter how skilled Ye Yunfei is, he can't possibly be a match."
…
From within the crowds of onlookers in the distance, various comments rose up. The majority still held little hope for the Ye Family.
"Hu Miao, act. Start by crippling that old beast," Ye Yunfei said, his icy gaze sweeping over the black-robed elder.
As his words fell,
a strand of blue demonic aura materialized, and a stunningly beautiful young woman in pink garments appeared before everyone's eyes.
Swoosh!
Hu Miao's graceful and lithe figure took a single light step, arriving directly before the black-robed elder.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
A sense of foreboding rose in the black-robed elder's heart.
Bang...
Hu Miao waved her slender hand. A wave of green demonic aura rapidly expanded, directly engulfing the black-robed elder.
The black-robed elder found he could not move!
A terrifying demonic force had completely sealed his body.
He was merely at Late Stage Heaven Realm, while Hu Miao was at Late Stage Profound Realm. The difference in power was too vast; he was no match for her at all.
Then,
Hu Miao extended a delicate finger, aimed at the black-robed elder's Dantian, and flicked gently. A terrifying demonic force, like a cannonball, struck the elder's Dantian.
Sssss...
The elder's Dantian began leaking qi.
"No!"
Feeling the spiritual power he had cultivated for decades wildly draining away, the black-robed elder was scared out of his wits.
Soon, the black-robed elder collapsed powerless onto the ground, a look of utter despair on his face. His entire cultivation had been completely crippled!
"Who is that beautiful woman? She actually crippled a Heaven Realm Expert with one move!"
"That woman seems to be with Ye Yunfei!"
…
Shocked gazes from all around fixed on Hu Miao, causing many to feel their scalps go numb.
"Hu Miao, cripple all of that Li Family's dozen or so Heaven Realm Experts," Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao, his tone carrying a chill that made one's flesh crawl. "But, for now, don't kill them. I won't let them die so painlessly."
This time, the Imperial City Li Family had dispatched over a dozen Heaven Realm Experts to Yuanyue City.
At this moment, those Heaven Realm Experts, seeing Hu Miao cripple the black-robed elder with a single move, were stunned speechless, not yet fully recovered from their shock.
"Understood, Master," Hu Miao nodded.
Bang…
A vast quantity of green demonic aura suddenly surged forth, rolling and swelling everywhere in this area like a hurricane.
The demonic aura released by Hu Miao was extremely formidable; even Profound Realm experts would regard it with extreme caution!
Swoosh!
Hu Miao's body transformed into a streak of green light, charging towards that dozen-plus Heaven Realm Experts at a frightening speed.
Bang! Bang!…
Wherever Hu Miao passed, one Heaven Realm Expert after another continuously fell, collapsing to the ground and screaming.
Hu Miao shattered the Dantian of each of these Heaven Realm Experts, turning every one of them into complete cripples!
It must be understood that Hu Miao's current strength was equivalent to a human's Late Stage Profound Realm.
Martial artists at the Heaven Realm level were as weak as a group of infants before her, possessing not the slightest ability to resist.
In less than two minutes,
all over a dozen Heaven Realm Experts had been dealt with.
"The beauty Ye Yunfei brought back is too frightening!"
All the onlookers watched with hearts trembling in fear, utterly cowed by Hu Miao's terrifying might.
The Ye Family clansmen, meanwhile, were weeping tears of joy!
With those dozen-plus Li Family Heaven Realm Experts taken care of, it meant the Ye Family was saved!
"Hu Miao, keep watch for me. Don't let a single person from the Imperial City Li Family escape!"
At this time, Ye Yunfei was still engaged in his frenzied slaughter, sending a Sound Transmission to Hu Miao.
"Don't worry, Master. I won't let a single one get away," Hu Miao replied.
With those dozen-plus Heaven Realm Experts dealt with by Hu Miao,
the remaining members of the Imperial City Li Family's forces were no match for Ye Yunfei at all.
Each was killed instantly by Ye Yunfei in a single move.
Even, with a single slash of his sword sweeping horizontally, he would kill several people simultaneously.
Many among the Li Family's forces, seeing the situation turn sour, hurriedly tried to flee.
But a wave of demonic aura released by Hu Miao would render those attempting to escape as if struck by a binding technique, instantly immobilizing them.
"Hu Miao, rescue my clansmen."
While swinging his sword to kill, Ye Yunfei issued a new command to Hu Miao.
Immediately, Hu Miao began untying those Ye Family clansmen bound to the iron pillars.
Her method was simple. Pointing a finger, as if performing magic, the iron chains binding the Ye clansmen would shatter and fall away one after another.
The demonic aura Hu Miao released would make even Profound Realm experts extremely wary; snapping an iron chain was no different from crushing a piece of tofu.
In a short while,
all Ye Family clansmen had been freed!
"Kill! Kill!…"
Ye Yunfei remained like a god of slaughter descended to earth, fist in his left hand, sword in his right, carrying out his frenzied massacre.
A moment later,
half of the forces from the Imperial City Li Family had been slain by Ye Yunfei!
This time, the Imperial City Li Family had sent over a thousand men to Yuanyue City.
At least five or six hundred had died by Ye Yunfei's hand.
"Enough.
Leave some for my other clansmen to deal with."
Finally, Ye Yunfei stopped his killing.
Before the city gates of Yuanyue City, the ground was strewn with five or six hundred mangled and incomplete corpses lying in every direction.
In the distance, the crowd of onlookers stared at Ye Yunfei with horrified gazes.
Every onlooker was terrified, their scalps tingling and legs trembling.
Although it was a blazing hot summer day with the scorching sun high in the sky,
all the onlookers felt a bone-chilling cold throughout their bodies, shivering uncontrollably.
"Excellent!
Our Ye Family has finally survived this calamity!"
"With Young Master Ye Yunfei here, our Ye Family won't fall easily!"
…
The Ye Family clansmen began cheering in elation.
"Hu Miao, restrain all the people I haven't killed yet!" Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission.
"Understood, Master," Hu Miao nodded.
Bang…
A vast tide of demonic aura surged towards the surviving members of the Imperial City Li Family, engulfing them.
Immediately, each and every one of them found themselves immobilized.
"Father, elders, uncles, brothers… I'm sorry I returned so late!"
Ye Yunfei turned, looking at the several hundred Ye Family clansmen, feeling deeply ashamed.
At this moment,
all the Ye Family clansmen had regained their freedom.
Many, their bodies too weak, collapsed directly onto the ground, unconscious and their condition unknown.
Others with stronger cultivation and robust constitutions, their minds perfectly clear, hurriedly went to help up their fellow clansmen.
"Father, I'm sorry I was so late," Ye Yunfei personally stepped forward, helping Ye Tianpeng to his feet, and said remorsefully.
Ye Tianpeng was at Late Stage Earth Realm and possessed a very robust physique. Although he had been bound for a day and night, the injuries he suffered weren't too severe.
"It's alright.
This time, fortunately you returned in time and saved everyone," Ye Tianpeng said, looking at the rescued Ye clansmen, tears of joy streaming down his aged face.
"Father, I have a batch of healing Spirit Pills here. Please arrange for the most severely injured clansmen to take them first," Ye Yunfei said, taking out dozens of bottles of healing Spirit Pills from his spatial ring.
"Alright," Ye Tianpeng immediately began making arrangements.
"Someone!
Tie all these people to the iron pillars!"
Ye Yunfei pointed at the surviving members of the Imperial City Li Family and ordered.
The Imperial City Li Family had sent over a thousand men to Yuanyue City. Approximately four to five hundred were still alive now.
Immediately, some Ye Family clansmen who were strong and in better condition rushed forward, dragging those four to five hundred Li Family members one by one to the iron pillars and tying them up.
A short while later,
all of them were securely bound.
The black-robed elder was tied to the most central and conspicuous iron pillar.
"Starting now, every two hours, send someone out to whip these people with leather scourges.
However, don't beat them to death.
Also, prepare some effective healing Spirit Pills for them to take.
Don't let them die easily.
Let them live on in constant pain.
They will properly taste the suffering our Ye Family endured!"
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
If he hadn't rushed back in time this time, the Ye Family would definitely have been annihilated.
Ye Yunfei's heart was filled with towering fury; how could he possibly let these people from the Imperial City Li Family off lightly?
