After that, Chen Qingqing began making conversation with Ye Yunfei, deliberately and otherwise. Before long, she even personally removed the pink veil that had been covering her face all this time, revealing features with beautifully arched brows, delicate red lips, and skin so smooth it looked as if one touch would bruise it. Her appearance was undeniably exquisite, and there was a dignified, imperious air at the corners of her brows and eyes that came from long-term command.
Initially, Chen Qingqing believed that after revealing her true face, Ye Yunfei would be captivated by her beauty and his aloof attitude would change.
Who would have thought, Ye Yunfei didn't even bother to take a proper look at her, remaining seated cross-legged the entire time, showing her little attention.
Chen Qingqing was somewhat disappointed inwardly.
However, the more Ye Yunfei acted this way, the more it confirmed Chen Qingqing's belief that he must originate from a powerful major force somewhere within the cosmic universe.
Otherwise, upon learning her family background, most ordinary young martial artists would actively seek to attach themselves to her and pursue her, a princess of the prestigious Chen Clan.
Only the core disciples of those lofty, towering major forces of the cosmic universe would possibly look down upon a Chen Clan princess like her.
The flying vessel continued speeding towards the direction of the Tianmu Star Domain.
Two days later.
"Young hero, good news. At most another hour, and we will arrive at the Tianmu Star Domain. As soon as we enter the Tianmu Star Domain, I'll be able to contact my father. By then, we will be completely safe!" Chen Qingqing suddenly became excited.
"Yes, Miss! We're almost back in the Tianmu Star Domain! We're about to be safe!" Chen Qingqing's several maidservants and the other Chen Clan attendants cheered gleefully.
But right at that moment.
"That's the vessel! Hurry, block it!"
A furious shout echoed from the starry space ahead.
Boom! Boom!...
Five flying vessels suddenly appeared in the starry space ahead, arranged in a line that blocked the way. Then, from each vessel, a group of fighters rushed out, surrounding Ye Yunfei's vessel.
Leading them were ten Sea Transformation Realm experts. Three were at the mid-stage of Sea Transformation Realm, and seven were at the early-stage!
In a flurry of movement, the ten Sea Transformation Realm experts directly encircled Ye Yunfei's vessel.
"This is bad! Young hero, they are from the Patching Heaven Pavilion!" Seeing the people who had surrounded them, Chen Qingqing couldn't help but turn pale.
"Scram!" Ye Yunfei's cold shout transmitted out from within the vessel, resonating through this stretch of space.
Not long ago, on the Red Star within the Purple Moon Star Sea, Ye Yunfei had broken through to the late-stage of Domain Realm. Now, even fighting these Sea Transformation Realm experts head-on with a whole great realm of spiritual power separating them, he didn't feel the slightest pressure.
"What an arrogant brat! Get out here!" Outside, those ten Sea Transformation Realm experts were incensed. One of them yelled.
"Since you insist on provoking me, I shall grant your wish." Given Ye Yunfei's character, it was impossible for him to avoid dealing with these people who actively came seeking trouble.
Swish!
The moment his words finished, Ye Yunfei's figure vanished from within the vessel, appearing outside right in front of those ten Sea Transformation Realm experts.
Boom!
Without any unnecessary talk, Ye Yunfei raised a fist and struck.
Heaven-Borrowing Nine Burials Fist!
With the elevation of his spiritual power realm, the power of the Heaven-Borrowing Nine Burials Fist Ye Yunfei displayed naturally grew stronger and stronger.
With that single punch unleashed, nearly the entire stretch of starry space trembled. Raging energy, laws, and the momentum of the cosmos all converged towards Ye Yunfei's fist.
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei's fist, carrying terrifying force, smashed towards an early-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert.
"A mere lowly late-stage Domain Realm ant dares to be so insolent! Die!" This early-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert was furious. He threw a punch of his own, aiming to clash head-on with Ye Yunfei.
Thump!
Ye Yunfei's fist collided violently with the expert's fist.
Pfft!
The expert's entire arm instantly exploded, and then, half of his body shattered directly as well.
"Aah!" The early-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert screamed. The remaining half of his body desperately retreated, completely soaked in blood.
Swish!
Ye Yunfei activated Spatial Teleportation Art, instantly appearing before another early-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert. Another fist flew out.
"Aah!" This early-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert was also crippled by Ye Yunfei's punch, his bloodied body flung backward as he emitted a wretched cry.
Next, Ye Yunfei continuously employed Spatial Teleportation Art, ceaselessly appearing before the remaining five early-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts, felling them all with one punch each.
The Spatial Teleportation Art Ye Yunfei employed was too fast, too bizarre. These early-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts had no way to avoid it; they couldn't even react in time.
In less than two breaths of time, all seven early-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts from the Patching Heaven Pavilion had been crippled by Ye Yunfei.
"With my current spiritual power realm, I can already instantly defeat early-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"How is this possible!"
"Is he really only late-stage Domain Realm strength?" The three mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts stared at Ye Yunfei dumbfounded, doubting their own eyes.
Although they were at the mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm, they knew in their hearts that they absolutely could not defeat seven early-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts so effortlessly and swiftly.
"Miss, this young hero's combat prowess is astounding!" Within the vessel, those five or six maidservants watched the battle outside, thoroughly shocked.
"He truly is incredibly strong!" Chen Qingqing's beautiful eyes stared intently at Ye Yunfei, sparkling with admiration.
"Now it's your turn."
Right then, Ye Yunfei's figure flashed, appearing before a mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert, delivering another direct punch.
Boom rumble...
Having already struck seven consecutive punches, this was his eighth. Its momentum was even more ferocious, manipulating some rule of momentum within the entire expanse of starry space, producing booming echoes of the Grand Dao.
"Brat, you think I fear you?!" The face of this mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert paled, and he roared.
A silver-white war halberd appeared in his hand, which he swung at Ye Yunfei as if it were a silver dragon.
Clang!
Ye Yunfei's fist violently clashed with the silver halberd, which was directly sent flying away by the shockwave.
Thump!
The force of Ye Yunfei's fist undiminished, sent the mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert stumbling back several dozen paces.
"Have another one!" Ye Yunfei let out a clear, sharp cry, like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain. Taking large strides forward, he struck his ninth punch!
Heaven-Borrowing Nine Burials Fist—the momentum of the ninth fist strike was the most intense, the culmination point of the previous eight.
When this fist struck out, endless streams of starlight actually converged and gathered across the starry space.
"Brat, just wait, the Patching Heaven Pavilion won't let you off!" Feeling Ye Yunfei's terrifying fist's momentum, the mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert unexpectedly dared not meet it head-on. He turned and fled.
However, Ye Yunfei's fist strike had already been unleashed. How terrifying was its force, how swift its speed. This single fist sent the mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert soaring far, far away, leaving him sprawled on the starry space in the distance, coughing up blood, unable to get up for quite some time.
Then, Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon the last two mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts.
Swish! Swish!
Like rabbits, those two mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts practically jumped up, fleeing towards the distance with the fastest speed they could muster.
The combat prowess Ye Yunfei had demonstrated was far too frightening. They certainly weren't going to dare fight him now.
Hustle bustle...
The other members of the Patching Heaven Pavilion also saw the unfavourable situation and swarmed in retreat towards the distance.
Ye Yunfei swept his indifferent eyes over those Patching Heaven Pavilion forces but did not give chase. Turning around, he returned inside the vessel.
The vessel then continued flying forward.
From far away in the starry space, those Patching Heaven Pavilion forces could only watch helplessly as Ye Yunfei's vessel flew off into the distance, not daring to obstruct its path anymore.
"With just us, it's impossible to be a match for that brat. Let's return and report directly to the young master, letting him dispatch stronger experts to deal with that brat," a mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert sighed.
Meanwhile, within the vessel.
Chen Qingqing and the Chen Clan attendants looked at Ye Yunfei, filled with both shock and reverence!
"Miss, this young hero's combat prowess is simply too astonishing! He must hail from one of the three Central Star Seas, possessing immense backing! Miss, this is a predestined union bestowed by heaven! You must seize it! If you could become partners with him, you'd surely rise to great heights in the future!" Those five or six maidservants stared intensely, sending Chen Qingqing Sound Transmissions filled with fervor.
Half an hour later.
"We've arrived! Miss, we've returned to the Tianmu Star Domain!"
"Contact the Family Head immediately!"
...
Within the vessel, the Chen Clan attendants all cried out one by one.
About a quarter of an hour later.
"Qingqing! My good daughter, you've finally returned!"
An anxious voice sounded from the distant starry space. A relatively larger vessel approached from afar, stopping ahead. Then, a middle-aged man, leading a group of experts, stepped out from within that vessel.
"The Family Head has come to meet us!"
"We're completely safe now! No longer have to fear those Patching Heaven Pavilion people!"
...
Inside the vessel, those Chen Clan attendants all cheered excitedly.
"Young hero, thank you. For your protection and escort back, Qingqing is extremely grateful. In a moment, I will introduce you to my father. I imagine my father would also highly admire an outstanding talent like yourself," Chen Qingqing said, looking at Ye Yunfei with an impassioned expression.
"Miss Chen need not stand on ceremony. But do not forget the promise we made before," Ye Yunfei replied indifferently.
"Young hero, rest assured, I haven't forgotten," Chen Qingqing answered.
"Good," Ye Yunfei nodded.
At this moment, the Giant Arm sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei. "After we get the Heaven Burial Tomb map fragment, we'll go to Heaven Burial Tomb immediately and find my other arm. If my other arm can be restored to its peak state, then my combat prowess will soar dramatically!" Its tone carried a hint of excitement.
"Rest assured, I'll help you restore the power of your other arm," Ye Yunfei laughed.
