In truth, Ye Yunfei had long since noticed someone sneaking into his room. And not just one person.
Although these assassins' stealth arts were incredibly sophisticated, rendering them practically formless and shadowless, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power was formidable enough to perceive them clearly from the start.
Instead of striking first, Ye Yunfei chose to wait.
Now, the enemy had finally made their move.
*Boom!*
Ye Yunfei didn't dodge, but directly threw a punch.
*Clang!*
His fist collided with the sword light. The sword light shattered, and the attacking longsword exploded into pieces on the spot.
"Impossible!"
A faint, illusory black shadow solidified, its face filled with shock.
With his strength, a single sword stroke could even behead a Heaven Realm Expert. Yet now, the opponent had actually shattered his longsword with flesh and blood! How could he not be stunned?
However, as an assassin, he carried several longswords with him. With a flick of his palm, another cold, glinting longsword appeared in his hand.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be assassins from Tianyou Tomb." Ye Yunfei said coldly. "Did you come to assassinate me because someone paid you, or because of the grudge between me and your Tianyou Tomb?"
*Swoosh…*
The moment Ye Yunfei finished speaking, another sword light abruptly materialized behind him, stabbing towards his back.
A cold glint flashed across Ye Yunfei's eyes.
*Clang!*
A dark-black dagger appeared, blocking the sword light attacking from behind.
Another faint, illusory black shadow emerged within the room.
"This kid is strange! Attack together!" one of the shadows shouted in a low voice.
*Shua shua!*
The two shadows raised their longswords and, like two ghosts, attacked Ye Yunfei from front and back with eerie silence.
Moreover, aside from these two shadows, several more longswords suddenly appeared, stabbing towards vital points on Ye Yunfei's body.
In this single moment, at least five longswords stabbed towards Ye Yunfei simultaneously, each at cunning angles, their aura fierce and murderous.
Five assassins in total!
Each assassin was utilizing a highly advanced stealth art. They looked like faint black shadows, barely visible, extremely illusory.
*Cih!*
A fiery-red longsword appeared in Ye Yunfei's hand. Red flames rose from the blade, instantly raising the room's temperature somewhat.
*Clang clang clang…*
Gripping the sword, Ye Yunfei slashed out.
Immediately, hundreds and thousands of fiery-red sword lights materialized in the room, illuminating the entire space.
This was the Thousand Mechanisms Myriad Changes Fantasy Sword.
At the same time, pure Sword Intent was infused into it.
Threads of Sword Intent filled the room, materializing out of thin air like swimming fish, incredibly sharp, slicing through space with a *zi zi* sound.
*Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang!*
Five crisp sounds of metal clashing rang out in succession.
The five assassins were all forced back repeatedly, expressions full of shock.
After failing to land a hit, the five assassins simultaneously vanished, becoming completely invisible to the naked eye.
However, under the perception of his powerful Soul Power, Ye Yunfei could clearly sense the figures and movements of these five assassins.
"How is this possible? This brat's Sword Intent is at least of the fifth grade!" one assassin exclaimed in shock.
*Swish!*
Before his voice had faded, a black dagger suddenly appeared before him, stabbing towards his throat at astonishing speed.
*Shua shua…*
While executing the Void Blade technique, Ye Yunfei thrust his sword forward. Countless sword lights, like a peacock spreading its tail, aimed for the other five assassins.
This left the assassins utterly bewildered. How could Ye Yunfei pinpoint their locations? Was it a coincidence?
*Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang!*
Once again, five clear metallic clashes rang out, and the assassins were once again forced to retreat.
*Swoosh!*
Ye Yunfei took a single step, pushing his movement speed to the limit. In an instant, he appeared in front of one of the assassins.
*Boom!*
With his right hand holding the sword, Ye Yunfei threw a punch with his left fist. Nearly two hundred thousand jin of physical strength poured out, augmenting his fist as he slammed it towards the assassin.
The terrifying physical force instantly drained the air from a large area of space ahead, creating a frightening vacuum of pressure.
The assassin was shocked to find his own body felt as if it carried a mountain on its back. His movements became difficult.
*Puh!*
Ye Yunfei's fist landed on the assassin's body, which shattered upon contact, exploding into a bloody mist on the spot.
The full force of nearly two hundred thousand jin of strength focused on a single body — one could only imagine how terrifying the destructive power was.
*Clang clang clang!*
Simultaneously with the punch, Ye Yunfei's longsword in his right hand slashed out. Sky-filling, densely packed sword lights swept towards the other five assassins.
Originally, the greatest trump card these assassins possessed was their stealth arts.
When executing assassination missions, they would usually lurk in hidden, invisible states, waiting for the opportune moment for a single strike to secure the kill.
But their stealth arts were of no consequence whatsoever to Ye Yunfei.
Thus, these assassins held no advantage whatsoever in front of him.
"He can truly see us! Everyone, be careful!" one assassin shouted.
*Swish!*
As soon as he spoke, the Void Blade appeared before him, viciously stabbing towards his heart.
The assassin's hair stood on end as he desperately retreated.
*Swoosh!*
Ye Yunfei took a step and was upon him, throwing another punch.
*Puh!*
The assassin had no time to dodge. His body exploded directly.
"We retreat!"
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the other three assassins simultaneously launched into a frantic backward escape.
"Too late for that!" Ye Yunfei said with a light snort.
*Swoosh!*
Activating his movement technique, Ye Yunfei caught up to one of the assassins in a single step.
*Shua!*
The longsword in Ye Yunfei's hand, imbued with overwhelmingly sharp Sword Intent, pierced directly into that assassin's back, striking his heart squarely!
"You… you…" The assassin trembled twice, then the vitality in his eyes slowly faded away.
Two assassins remained. Ye Yunfei pursued one.
*Swoosh!*
A surge of demonic aura appeared — Hu Miao had emerged, pursuing the other assassin.
Hu Miao's Soul Power was no weaker than Ye Yunfei's.
Although this assassin was adept in stealth arts, they were useless against her.
*Puh puh!*
The two assassins, having no time to escape the room, were killed by Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao almost simultaneously.
All five assassins had fallen!
These five assassins were all at the Late Stage Heaven Realm.
Moreover, they had long undertaken assassination missions, living dangerous lives, and their combat experience was far beyond that of any ordinary Heaven Realm cultivator.
Yet, unfortunately, they had encountered Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao.
Inside the room.
Ye Yunfei stood holding his sword, not relaxing his guard in the slightest.
Hu Miao stood close beside him, her faint, pleasant fragrance wafting directly into Ye Yunfei's nose.
"The two of you must also be assassins from Tianyou Tomb. Show yourselves."
With a cold expression, Ye Yunfei pointed his sword towards a specific spot within the room and spoke impassively. Meanwhile, Hu Miao's beautiful eyes were fixed intently on another spot within the room.
