"One, two..."
Ye Yunfei began to count.
"Hahaha..."
Those dozen or so warriors laughed even louder, crossing their arms over their chests, fixing mocking gazes on Ye Yunfei.
Although these warriors had also heard about Jiang Jie of the Jiang Family from Tianfu Star Sea dying at Ye Yunfei's hands, they had six late-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts and nine mid-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts, and each came from one of the top twenty major powers in the Canghuang Realm. Facing a lone Ye Yunfei, there was simply no way for them to feel afraid.
"Three.
I gave you a chance. A pity you didn't know how to cherish it."
Ye Yunfei counted to three and shook his head.
The next moment.
Ssshhhew!
The Heavenly Soul Sword lashed out.
"What?!"
The smiles on the faces of over a dozen warriors instantly froze solid, as they stood there rigidly.
Bloody holes had been pierced through the space between their eyebrows, blood gurgling out and trickling down their faces.
The Heavenly Soul Sword had instantly annihilated fifteen Sea Transformation Realm experts!
Thump, thump...
Over a dozen warriors turned into over a dozen corpses, toppling forward to the ground.
Swoosh!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm darted over to search the bodies of these warriors.
These warriors had been in this Chaos Universe for some time, entering and exiting many Small Worlds, and each had gained at least some harvest.
Soon, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm found several dozen spatial rings on them and handed them to Ye Yunfei.
"In all martial arts under heaven, what cannot be broken is unrivaled speed!
The power of the Heavenly Soul Sword is already quite formidable.
If it could truly reach the Soul Force Materialization realm, its power would ascend another level.
In this Illusion Palace, I should be able to completely achieve the Soul Force Materialization realm for the Heavenly Soul Sword!"
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Instantly annihilating fifteen Sea Transformation Realm experts—this was something even those Acupoint Opening Realm experts might not be able to accomplish.
This was primarily because the Heavenly Soul Sword was simply too fast!
Fast to the point where one's Soul Power could barely perceive it!
Rustle...
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, the Soul-Nourishing Tree flew out, heading towards a building nearby, a structure fabricated by illusion.
Ye Yunfei intended to cultivate the Heavenly Soul Sword to complete Soul Force Materialization within this Illusion Palace!
Very soon, the Soul-Nourishing Tree refined and absorbed the entirety of that nearby building, transforming it into energy of Soul Power that continuously poured into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Continue cultivating!"
Ye Yunfei lifted his foot and strode forward.
At the same moment.
Two other squads searching for Ye Yunfei in the vicinity received the news.
"Ye Yunfei has been spotted!
He's right around here!"
"Quick, send messages to those Acupoint Opening Realm experts, have them come deal with Ye Yunfei!"
These two squads suddenly shouted excitedly, pulling out communication jade slips one after another to send transmissions.
"Great news!
I just received information from a good brother! Ye Yunfei doesn't have a single monster by his side right now, he's alone!
Now is the best time to capture him!
We need to rush over at top speed immediately, perhaps we still have a chance to share a piece of the pie!
Let's go!"
Suddenly, a warrior exclaimed in pleasant surprise, then he activated his movement technique, charging with all his might towards the location where Ye Yunfei had been spotted.
Swoosh, swoosh…
The others in this squad were also overjoyed upon hearing this, and one by one they activated their movement techniques and rushed over.
Another squad also received news that Ye Yunfei had no monsters with him. In their joy, every one of them also charged towards Ye Yunfei's location.
At this moment.
Ye Yunfei was walking unhurriedly with his hands clasped behind his back.
From time to time, monsters and structures fabricated by Illusion Art would appear ahead to block his path.
Rustle...
The Soul-Nourishing Tree flew ahead, refining and absorbing all the monsters and Illusion Art-created structures it encountered.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power was continuously increasing.
Within his Soul Sea, the aura of that Heavenly Soul Sword was also rising steadily.
This Heavenly Soul Sword was only a hair's breadth away from truly achieving Soul Force Materialization!
Ye Yunfei also brought out Hu Miao, Pan Yi, Qiqi, Xiao Xue, Cai Yan, and the dozen or so other Taiyi Temple disciples from the Phantom Tower.
After all, letting them properly experience the omnipresent illusion path energy and laws inside this Illusion Palace would be greatly beneficial to their cultivation.
Moreover, they might occasionally discover some treasures.
This was a rare experience!
Suddenly.
"That's Ye Yunfei, he's over there!"
Over a dozen warriors came rushing from afar, catching sight of the figure walking ahead with his hands clasped behind his back. They were both shocked and overjoyed.
Especially when these warriors saw that Ye Yunfei truly had no monsters by his side, they grew even more excited.
"Ye Yunfei has been spotted!
He really has no monsters with him, not a single one!"
From another direction, another squad of warriors came charging over, shouting in pleasant surprise.
"We're going to be rich!"
The two squads of warriors charged wildly towards Ye Yunfei.
"These guys, clearly coming here to die, yet thinking they're about to strike it rich. Hilarious."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but sneer.
It had just witnessed Ye Yunfei instantly annihilating fifteen Sea Transformation Realm experts. It knew that no matter how many of these warriors came, they stood no chance against Ye Yunfei.
In the blink of an eye, two squads, totaling over thirty warriors, rushed close to Ye Yunfei, surrounding him in a tight circle.
"Ye Yunfei!
Never imagined you'd have a day like this, did you? With not a single monster by your side now, you're just an ant! Submit peacefully and be captured!"
A young man in green robes glared fiercely at Ye Yunfei and roared.
"Immediately hand over all the belongings on your person. Otherwise, die."
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze lightly sweeping over the thirty-plus warriors as he spoke.
"Even in this state, you still dare to put on airs!
Go to hell!"
The green-robed youth flared up in rage, his palm shooting out, continuously enlarging as it flashed towards Ye Yunfei to grab him.
Yet, the next moment.
Pfft.
The green-robed youth's movement froze. A bloody hole appeared between his brows, blood gurgling forth. Then he toppled forward, dead.
"I'll do the searching!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transformed into a streak of golden light and rushed over to begin searching the body.
"What's going on?"
The other warriors were startled, taking an involuntary step back.
That green-robed youth was a late-stage Sea Transformation Realm expert from the Jietian Sect, and a skilled one among his peers. Yet he had been instantly killed in such a strange manner.
"I'll say it once more. Hand over all your possessions. Otherwise, die!"
Ye Yunfei said plainly.
"You..."
A man in brocade robes spoke up, wanting to say something to Ye Yunfei.
Pfft!
His body suddenly stiffened. A bloody hole appeared in the space between his eyebrows. Then his body slowly slid down, falling dead on the spot.
This man in brocade robes was also at the late-stage Sea Transformation Realm, and he too had been mysteriously killed instantly!
Hiss!
Seeing this scene, the other warriors collectively sucked in a cold breath, expressions of terror appearing on their faces.
Next, Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted towards another warrior.
Pfft!
A bloody hole also appeared between this warrior's brows. Then he toppled over, becoming a corpse.
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei's gaze continuously settled on several warriors in succession.
Whomever Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon would instantly have a bloody hole mysteriously pierced through their foreheads, falling dead.
The Heavenly Soul Sword was simply too fast. Wherever Ye Yunfei's thought directed, the Heavenly Soul Sword arrived simultaneously, almost requiring no process of time at all.
With the level of Soul Power possessed by Sea Transformation Realm warriors, they were already incapable of perceiving the Heavenly Soul Sword's movement trajectory!
Now, the remaining warriors all felt as if they had fallen into a ten-thousand-year ice cavern. Terrified to the point their legs went weak, none dared to move a muscle. They stared at Ye Yunfei with horrified eyes.
"Spare me! I'll hand over everything I have, please don't kill me!"
Finally, one warrior could no longer endure this terrifying pressure, completely crumbling as he knelt with a thud on the ground and cried out.
