"Heh, it seems you really want to kill me.
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh. Towards those who wanted him dead, he was never polite.
"And you all hiding there, come out as well."
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to a point not far away, and he said clearly and loudly.
There, a dense patch of bushes concealed many shadowy figures.
At Ye Yunfei's words, a large group of people rushed noisily out from behind the bushes.
"Kid, are you Ye Yunfei from Yuanyue City?"
A middle-aged man with a sharp aura, eyes filled with killing intent, stared at Ye Yunfei and demanded loudly.
"That's right. I am Ye Yunfei of Yuanyue City."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Oh? Li Xiu, you have a grudge against Ye Yunfei as well?"
Xiao Wuhen was taken aback; clearly, he recognized this middle-aged man.
"Third Young Master, you might not be aware. This Ye Yunfei is brutal by nature. He has caused the death of many of our Li Family clansmen. His crimes are immense. Our Li Family and he bear an irreconcilable, deep-seated hatred."
Li Xiu said.
Within the Qin Empire's royal family, aside from the emperor, Chancellor Xiao held the most power.
Xiao Wuhen was the third son of Chancellor Xiao, granting him an extremely high status and position within the imperial capital.
Thus, Li Xiu's attitude towards Xiao Wuhen was exceedingly respectful.
"So that's how it is. Ye Yunfei, I really have to hand it to you. You're merely a young master from a minor family, of humble status, weak as an ant, yet you dare to cause trouble everywhere. Not only have you offended me, but you've also provoked the Li Family. If someone like you doesn't die, there truly is no justice in this world."
Xiao Wuhen gave a cold smile.
"After killing this little beast, our Li Family will dispatch troops to Yuanyue City and completely exterminate the Ye Family. Moreover, all people and forces related to Ye Yunfei will be wiped out, exterminated through the nine kinship degrees!"
Li Xiu declared.
"Yes, exactly. That's how it should be. I think that killing Ye Yunfei directly, letting him die without any pain, would be letting him off too lightly. How about we capture him first, torture him harshly, make him wish he could die but be unable to—that would better vent the hatred in my heart."
Xiao Wuhen suggested.
"Our family head is of the same mind. The family head ordered us to capture Ye Yunfei alive and bring him back to be sliced by a thousand cuts, to sacrifice him alive for the sake of our Li Family clansmen who died miserably because of him."
Li Xiu said.
Xiao Wuhen and Li Xiu conversed with confidence, as if they simply didn't regard Ye Yunfei as any kind of threat at all.
In their eyes, Ye Yunfei was already trapped, with no wings to flee.
"Finished talking? If you're finished, then you can go and die."
Ye Yunfei suddenly broke into a ferocious grin, murderous intent gleaming in his eyes.
"What?!"
Both Xiao Wuhen and Li Xiu were startled.
Instantly.
"Haha, Ye Yunfei, you little bastard! Can you two, by yourselves, kill us? Have you lost your mind?"
Xiao Wuhen laughed heartily.
"Hmph. A mere Late-Stage Earth Realm brat, I could destroy with one hand alone. Yet you dare act so arrogant before me," Li Xiu snorted coldly, his expression one of utter disdain.
As for Hu Miao, her realm was too high, and coupled with her proficiency in illusion arts, she had veiled the demonic power within her body extremely tightly. Given Xiao Wuhen and Li Xiu's strength, they simply couldn't discern how powerful she was.
However, in their opinion, a delicate, frail-looking young woman like a swaying willow branch couldn't possibly be all that strong.
"Master, let me attack and kill them all," Hu Miao said angrily.
"No need. This body of mine requires tempering through combat. Let me move around a bit."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Ye Yunfei! On your knees, right now! Surrender without resistance! Must you truly wait for us to act?!"
Li Xiu suddenly took a step forward, yelling a fierce reprimand at Ye Yunfei.
However—
*Whoosh!*
The moment his words finished, Ye Yunfei had already ghosted right in front of him.
"Die!"
Ye Yunfei roared and threw a punch.
A punching wind of overwhelming, supreme power surged forth, mighty and immense, like a mountain avalanche or tsunami pouring out.
In an instant, the air around the space where Li Xiu stood was completely evacuated, forming a terrifying, oppressive vacuum.
To his horror, Li Xiu discovered his body was completely immobilized in place, unable to move even an inch.
"Ah! Save me…!"
Shocked and utterly panicked, Li Xiu screamed loudly.
*Thud!*
Li Xiu's body was struck by the fist, torn apart and shredded as if hacked by wild blades!
A few breaths later, the scattered flesh, blood, and bone fragments in the air all dissipated into nothingness. Ye Yunfei, expressionless, lifted his head to look at Xiao Wuhen and the others surrounding them.
Silence…
Absolute silence!
Instant kill!
You have to understand, Li Xiu's strength was at the Early Stage of the Heaven Realm. Moreover, he cultivated the family's inherited martial arts of the Li Family, his combat power was not weak. Yet, to think that he'd be instantly killed in the very first exchange!
On the ground, Li Xiu's corpse was scattered in pieces, not a single intact piece of flesh or bone to be found—utterly miserable!
Everyone present was thoroughly shocked and subdued.
Since when had Early Stage Heaven Realm experts become so easy to kill?
"If you want to fight, be direct about it. Don't waste so many words."
Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh.
"Good, good, very good. Ye Yunfei, to think your physical strength is actually this powerful."
Xiao Wuhen's face flashed with cruelty, his eyes brimming with rage.
"Third Young Master, rest assured. I'll kill him."
Beside Xiao Wuhen, a Heaven Realm expert took a step forward and said coldly.
He was a sturdy man dressed in tight-fitting martial attire, possessing the strength of a Mid-Stage Heaven Realm cultivator.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he tapped the ground lightly with his toes and shot towards Ye Yunfei like an arrow.
*Boom…!*
Wild spirit power poured out from within his body in rolling waves, stirring the surrounding air into slight distortion—truly imposing.
"Brat, try my Blazing Fire Palm!"
Suddenly, the burly man thrust out a palm. A massive crimson hand formed in the air before him. Flames blazed across the palm, scorching waves roiling as it rumbled towards Ye Yunfei!
*Rumble…!*
Spirit power boomed, torrential palm power diffused outwards unchecked. In the grassy area, the wild grass on the ground was all pulled up by the palm wind, rising and burning, filling the sky with flames!
On all sides, Xiao Wuhen's followers and the Li Family's forces all drew back far away.
Ye Yunfei gave a cold smile.
Having successfully cultivated the second layer of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Body Art, the power contained within Ye Yunfei's body had nearly reached two hundred thousand jin!
A Heaven Realm martial artist? He could crush one as easily as shattering dust with a single punch.
*Boom…!*
The physical power within Ye Yunfei poured out. Glinting red light appeared on the surface of his skin, his aura climbing limitlessly high. His move was extremely simple—once again, he just threw a punch straight ahead.
Where his fist passed, the air ahead was beaten into frantic retreat, creating the thunderous roar of surging and ebbing tides.
Even the grassy ground beneath them was struck by the fearsome punch wind, fissuring into a web of cracks. Dirt flew everywhere, leaving a scene of complete chaos.
*Thud!*
The moment that massive crimson palm made contact with Ye Yunfei's fist, it instantly burst like a pricked bubble and exploded into fragments.
Ye Yunfei's fist continued forward with astonishing speed, smashing squarely into the burly man's chest.
*Pfft!*
The man's body directly exploded into a mist of dancing flesh, blood, and bone fragments, without a single intact piece of a limb to be found.
Yet another instant kill in one move!
