At this moment, everyone's gazes were fixed nervously on the passageway revealed as the dark death energy parted.
Suddenly.
Whoosh!
A figure shot rapidly along the passageway.
It was an old man!
"It's a High Envoy from the Jietian Sect!
Your Majesty, it looks like those Heavenly Thunder Realm experts must have won, and Ye Yunfei has already been killed!"
A minister exclaimed joyfully.
Whoosh!
Another figure rushed out from the passageway.
"It's High Envoy from Yin Corpse Valley!
Indeed, the battle is over; these Heavenly Thunder Realm experts are starting to come out!
Your Majesty, that brat Ye Yunfei has finally died, and our Star Nation's great vengeance has been exacted!"
An old eunuch shrieked.
At this moment, the Star Nation's emperor and his many civil and military ministers were all overjoyed and triumphant.
It could be said that Ye Yunfei was already Star Nation's number one enemy, even posing a threat to the nation's very survival.
Now, with Ye Yunfei dead, Star Nation was finally safe!
"Heh, good, good, excellent. That brat Ye Yunfei is finally dead."
The emperor was extremely excited.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, after rushing out of the passageway, the Jietian Sect elder and the Yin Corpse Valley expert did not linger. Instead, they accelerated their speed and charged toward the distance.
"What is happening?"
Seeing this, the Star Nation's emperor and his ministers were slightly stunned.
Could it be that these Heavenly Thunder Realm experts, after killing Ye Yunfei, did not intend to stay in Star Nation and wanted to leave immediately?
"Honorable High Envoy of the Jietian Sect, His Majesty has already ordered a sumptuous banquet prepared to celebrate your achievements…"
At that moment, one of Star Nation's ministers happened to be blocking the path of that Jietian Sect elder and spoke clearly.
Pop!
Before the minister could finish his words, the Jietian Sect elder swung his hand, smacking the minister into a mist of blood on the spot, destroying both body and soul.
Boom! Boom! …
This Jietian Sect elder continuously waved his sleeves, instantly pulverizing all the Star Nation forces ahead.
After all, large numbers of troops had been deployed all around the palace, both in the sky and on the ground.
These Star Nation forces were far too weak compared to this Jietian Sect elder; a single slap from him could annihilate a whole group!
"Die!"
At this time, the Yin Corpse Valley expert also began to attack the Star Nation troops blocking his path. A black-and-white rod in his hand swept out, and wherever it reached, countless Star Nation soldiers and horses instantly exploded into sprays of blood mist.
"How can this be?
What exactly has happened?"
The Star Nation's emperor and his ministers were all dumbfounded, staring in shock.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the Jietian Sect elder and the Yin Corpse Valley expert were already far from the palace, rushing into the distance.
"Where do you think you're escaping to!"
Just as the Star Nation emperor and his ministers were bewildered and uneasy, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
Then.
Whoosh…
A flash of bloody light, and another figure rushed out from the passageway—a person completely wrapped in billowing blood mist!
Whoosh!
After this bloody figure appeared, it vanished in another flash.
Whoosh!
When it reappeared, the figure was already in the distance, chasing after the Jietian Sect elder and the Yin Corpse Valley expert.
"Not good!
That voice just now was Ye Yunfei's—he's still alive!"
A general cried out in alarm.
"Not only is he still alive, but it looks like he's actually chasing down the two High Envoys!"
Another minister mumbled with a trembling voice.
Hearing this, everyone else felt their hearts sink, a sense of foreboding rising within them.
The Star Nation's emperor, in particular, turned deathly pale in an instant.
At this moment.
Ye Yunfei was employing his Spatial Teleportation Art to chase after the Jietian Sect elder and the Yin Corpse Valley expert.
Not long ago, there had still been five Heavenly Thunder Realm opponents left.
After another round of bloody, desperate combat, Ye Yunfei had killed three more!
Now only the last two remained!
Of course, Ye Yunfei himself was also severely injured!
"Ye Yunfei, just you wait to bear the wrath of my Jietian Sect!"
The Jietian Sect elder roared furiously while fleeing.
Poof!
Blazing flames suddenly erupted from his body, and his speed surged dramatically.
He was burning his Origin Essence Blood!
In this state, the elder's speed increased severalfold.
Whoosh! Whoosh! …
Poof!
At the same time, the Yin Corpse Valley expert also burned his Origin Essence Blood, his speed skyrocketing. In the blink of an eye, he was already at the edge of the horizon.
"A shame."
Seeing this, Ye Yunfei halted his figure and ceased pursuit.
After battling dozens of Heavenly Thunder Realm experts for the better part of a day, Ye Yunfei's body had been struck countless times, riddled with wounds.
Although his Greenwood Emperor Body was continuously operating, constantly repairing the injuries, his overall state had still declined significantly, and his combat power had greatly diminished. He needed a proper amount of time for full recovery.
"First, find a place to recuperate."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yunfei flashed and teleported toward a mountain range near the imperial city.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei employed his Earth Evasion Art, drilling down over a thousand meters below ground until he found a natural underground palace. He then teleported into the Phantom Tower and sat down cross-legged.
"The injuries are rather severe."
Examining his body, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei had already deactivated the Origin Essence Blood Dissolution Great Art, revealing a tattered physical form.
The left side of his body had been largely pulverized, leaving only pale white ribs connected to remnants of flesh and muscle, dripping blood incessantly.
Half of his right shoulder had been sliced away, his entire lower leg from the knee down was gone, and two bloody holes pierced his chest—one punched through by a fist, the other pierced by a longsword!
Although Ye Yunfei's Greenwood Emperor Body had been cultivated to the half-step perfection state, the injuries were too severe, and the depletion during the battle too great. Thus, his body's repair had become extremely slow.
Fortunately, during the fight, Ye Yunfei had protected his heart and head well, so he never suffered any truly lethal damage.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, bringing out a large pile of pills, medicinal herbs, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and various crystals. He then began focusing on recuperation.
As time passed, Ye Yunfei's injuries gradually began to mend.
A day later.
The events that occurred in the Star Nation began to spread throughout the Tianluo Star Sea at a shocking speed.
This news was like a world-shaking thunderclap, shaking the realm!
The entire Tianluo Star Sea was in complete uproar!
"True or false?
Ye Yunfei fought against twenty-two Heavenly Thunder Realm experts at the Star Nation imperial city, killed twenty, and only two escaped?"
"How is that possible? Those are Heavenly Thunder Realm experts, the most elite group in our Tianluo Star Sea. Even outside our Star Sea, such experts command respect and awe!
How could twenty be killed in a single battle?"
…
Countless martial artists, upon hearing this news for the first time, were all dumbstruck, doubting whether they had heard correctly.
