"Zhao Lingfeng, don’t you dare go too far! I warn you, if you dare lay a hand on Su Fei, I will never let you off!" Ji Yue’s face darkened.
"Ji Yue, why are you so protective of this brat? Could it be that you like him?" Zhao Lingfeng roared furiously.
"Enough! Zhao Lingfeng, I will say this one more time. I will make Su Fei apologize to you, and after that, the grudge between you two will be settled! Otherwise, from now on, there will be no more friendship between you and me!" Ji Yue had run out of patience and shouted sharply.
"Su Fei, apologize to him right now. Do as I say. The Zhao Family is a powerful clan in the Eastern Barrens, not someone you can afford to provoke." Ji Yue looked toward Ye Yunfei as she spoke.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei was staring intently at the distant ice coffin and had no time to pay attention to Ji Yue and Zhao Lingfeng. He did not even spare them a glance.
"See that, Ji Yue? This ignorant brat doesn’t hold our Zhao Family in any regard at all. Heh heh... This is no longer just a matter between you and me now; it involves the dignity of our Zhao Family. Even if I were willing to let him go, our family would not." Zhao Lingfeng sneered.
"Su Fei, did you not hear what I said?!" Ji Yue glared at Ye Yunfei, her voice rising with an air of frustrated disappointment.
"Enough! Ji Yue, to be honest, if not for the sake of Patriarch Zisheng, you wouldn’t even have the qualifications to speak to me!" Ye Yunfei suddenly turned his head and stared at Ji Yue, his gaze cold as he spoke indifferently.
"As for you, if you don’t want to die, don’t bother me." Ye Yunfei looked at Zhao Lingfeng, his eyes chillingly grim.
"You!" Ji Yue trembled slightly with anger.
"You’re dead, kid!" Zhao Lingfeng flew into a rage.
"Not good! The white fur on Ancient Sage Gu Yao’s corpse is growing longer and longer! He is about to awaken! We must act now! Otherwise, once he wakes up, snatching that Ice Toad Treasure Pearl will be impossible!" At this moment, Ye Yunfei saw that the white fur on the corpse inside the distant ice coffin was indeed growing increasingly long, making it look like a white-furred monster. An extremely bizarre aura emanated from the coffin!
"Operation commences!" Ye Yunfei no longer had time to bother with Ji Yue or Zhao Lingfeng. He transmitted a message to the Ice Demon, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Huang Lao.
Then, Ye Yunfei, together with the Ice Demon, directly teleported into the Phantom Tower.
Whoosh!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared, transforming into a streak of golden light as it carried the Phantom Tower into the void.
Normally, this palace had special spatial restrictions, making spatial traversal very difficult. However, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had recently undergone a bloodline breakthrough. Its spatial energy level had advanced by leaps and bounds, and it had awakened more racial memories, greatly increasing its strength. Even in a space with special restrictions, it could still traverse the void freely!
"He disappeared?" Ji Yue and Zhao Lingfeng watched in shock as Ye Yunfei vanished suddenly.
"That kid possesses incredibly profound spatial energy laws!" The three old men standing behind Zhao Lingfeng narrowed their eyes. The moment the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm traversed space, all three of them sensed a remarkably profound spatial law. They assumed it was Ye Yunfei who had released it.
At this moment.
Around the ice coffin, dozens of experts were still locked in intense battle, fighting so fiercely it seemed to darken the heavens and shake the earth.
The ice coffin itself was incredibly sturdy. Battle energies continuously slammed against it, yet the coffin remained utterly undamaged.
"All of you, get lost! These things belong to our Sword Realm!" Amid the fierce combat, a young man dressed entirely in white brandished his longsword. Sword radiance coiled like a dragon, piercing forward, forcing the people ahead aside. In an instant, he rushed to the side of the ice coffin, extended his sword, and aimed to flick away the dozens of space rings on the coffin surface.
"Scram!" At this very moment, the Golden Roc Prince charged fiercely forward. His battle halberd chopped down on the white-clothed young man’s longsword, forcing the latter to stagger back a step. Then, the prince reached out to grab at the coffin surface.
The Golden Roc clan had always been renowned for speed and strength, granting him a great advantage in such a chaotic melee.
"Damn demon race! Get lost!" A young man whose whole body spewed dazzling light charged over, throwing a punch at the Golden Roc Prince.
The Golden Roc Prince had no choice but to stop his attempt and engage in battle with the young man.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a dreamlike purple figure approached faintly, like a wisp of purple smoke dancing with the wind. In a flash, it drifted to the front of the ice coffin, reaching out to seize the dozens of space rings.
This was a youth in purple robes!
"It’s Lu Yifan! He’s about to succeed!" someone exclaimed.
"Hmph! Do you really think your Cangyan Sacred Sect’s Great Void Movement Technique can compare to our Golden Roc clan’s speed?!" The Golden Roc Prince was furious. He turned and charged toward Lu Yifan.
The young man who had just been fighting fiercely with the Golden Roc Prince also turned and rushed toward Lu Yifan.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Wave after wave of ferocious attacks simultaneously blasted toward Lu Yifan!
Lu Yifan’s hand was mere inches from grasping the dozens of space rings. However, ferocious, extreme-force attacks were already roaring toward his back. Lu Yifan hesitated for a moment but ultimately gave up. He understood that if he didn’t dodge immediately now, even a hair’s breadth delay would leave his body shattered to pieces by the crowd! Left with no choice, Lu Yifan’s figure flickered, shifting to a different position.
Trying to seize those dozens of space rings and that Ice Toad Treasure Pearl under the noses of so many experts was far, far too difficult!
Just at that moment.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
A large number of pitch-black daggers abruptly appeared, like a school of shadowy swimming fish, utterly silent as they slashed separately at the experts fighting fiercely around the ice coffin.
Spatial Blades!
As his spatial energy level increased, Ye Yunfei could now release two to three hundred Spatial Blades simultaneously!
"What is this?!" The battling experts were both startled and enraged, each using their methods to block. They could sense that these pitch-black daggers emitted an eerie aura.
Whoosh!
Simultaneous with the appearance of the Spatial Blades, a flash of golden light appeared. The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had arrived right above the ice coffin, stopping precisely beside the black treasure pearl.
"Hu Miao, deploy illusions immediately! Huang Lao, unleash your ghost arts!" Ye Yunfei transmitted messages swiftly.
Hu Miao and Huang Lao appeared at the same time, releasing illusions and ghost arts.
Immediately, a flood of Illusory Dao laws spread out in all directions, conjuring illusionary realms designed to pull the experts surrounding the ice coffin into them. At the same time, vast rolling clouds of dark ghostly mist expanded, and hordes of fierce ghosts and vengeful spirits screamed, pouncing to slaughter the experts.
"Quick, act! I’ve already used the Ghost Blocking Wall technique to obscure their perceptions, causing their awareness to become erroneous and disoriented for a short time!" Huang Lao explained.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei and the Ice Demon simultaneously appeared right beside the Ice Toad Treasure Pearl.
"Take action!" Ye Yunfei said to the Ice Demon.
"Understood." The Ice Demon directly reached out and grabbed for the black treasure pearl.
Rumble!...
The black treasure pearl trembled violently, erupting with an even more terrifying concentration of Ice-Snow Laws.
"Not good! Ancient Sage Gu Yao is about to undergo Corpse-Dissolution!" At this moment, Ye Yunfei’s gaze was fixed on the interior of the ice coffin, and he discovered that the white fur on Ancient Sage Gu Yao’s corpse was growing faster and faster!
