"All Heavenly Sea Realm experts, attack together! Kill this little bastard!"
An Elder roared.
Whoosh! Whoosh...
All the Heavenly Sea Realm experts of Zidan Valley moved simultaneously, rushing towards Ye Yunfei from all directions.
"Run! Quick!"
"This is terrifying! I'm never coming back to Zidan Valley again!"
The crowd of pill-seekers couldn't bear to watch any longer, scattering and fleeing towards the valley's exit. The energy pressure released by so many Heavenly Sea Realm experts attacking together was too horrifying; many weaker individuals were crushed on the spot, body and spirit annihilated, turning into bursts of bloody mist.
Whoosh!
Facing the collective assault of nearly a hundred Heavenly Sea Realm experts, Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile. His figure blurred as he teleported away, appearing in the distance.
Boom! Boom...
One ferocious energy attack after another landed where Ye Yunfei had just been standing, blasting dark cracks into space itself. Rolling clouds of dust shot into the sky.
"After him!"
All the Heavenly Sea Realm experts turned and charged towards Ye Yunfei's new location.
What followed were several more positional shifts by Ye Yunfei, moving like a phantom.
The hundred-plus Heavenly Sea Realm experts of Zidan Valley ran back and forth, stirring up turbulent dust, but they couldn't even graze a single hair on Ye Yunfei.
"Activate the valley-protecting grand formation! Restrict his movement! Let's see if he can still dodge then!" the Valley Master bellowed.
Rumble...
The next moment, an immense tide of formation energy erupted. A colossal glowing formation barrier slowly rose, enveloping the entire headquarters of Zidan Valley.
Rumble...
As the formation manifested, Ye Yunfei felt a vast, overwhelming pressure of formation energy bearing down on him.
"Now he can't move! Go on! Kill him!" an Elder shouted.
Whoosh! Whoosh...
One by one, the Heavenly Sea Realm experts once again turned and charged at Ye Yunfei.
"Keep running now, punk! Why aren't you running? You're dead!"
"Enough talk! Let's do it together and pulverize him into mincemeat!"
Seeing they were closing in on Ye Yunfei, the Heavenly Sea Realm experts snarled with cruel laughter.
"Tell them not to kill him! Capture him first! This little bastard is skilled in pill arts. He might be useful," Wang Sheng, the Ancestor, suddenly interjected.
"A measly valley-protecting grand formation thinks it can trap me?" Ye Yunfei suddenly sneered.
Whoosh!
The Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared, releasing a powerful energy that allowed it to traverse distances. It carried Ye Yunfei, instantly moving him away from his original spot to another position, far from the charging Heavenly Sea Realm experts.
What?!
All the upper echelons of Zidan Valley were dumbfounded.
This valley-protecting grand formation had been passed down through generations of Zidan Valley and was extremely powerful. Yet, they never imagined it would be utterly useless against Ye Yunfei.
At this moment, the expressions of all Zidan Valley's leaders turned grim.
The mighty Zidan Valley was at a loss against a mere youngster!
"Fine. Since Zidan Valley holds such an attitude, there's nothing more to say.
I, Su Fei, Senior Brother of Ziwei Sect, today represent Ziwei Sect to purge our ranks! I will exterminate Zidan Valley and retrieve all things belonging to Ziwei Sect!"
Ye Yunfei projected his voice, speaking slowly and deliberately.
His rolling voice echoed throughout the area.
"Arrogant! You little bastard! Do you truly believe that with just yourself, you can annihilate our Zidan Valley?!"
"Little bastard, think about whether you can even leave Zidan Valley alive before you boast!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, all the high-ranking members of Zidan Valley erupted in furious rebukes.
"Little bastard, what big talk! If you're really that formidable, don't run around like a stray dog! Dare to fight me!" a Heavenly Sea Realm expert snarled fiercely at Ye Yunfei.
Whoosh!
Before his shout had even faded, Ye Yunfei teleported directly before him.
Ssst... Ssst...
Ten Puppet Soul Threads shot directly into the sea of consciousness of this Heavenly Sea Realm expert, lashing towards his Soul Body.
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, the Heavenly Soul Sword also shot towards his Soul Body.
Boom...
The Blood Clan Clone erupted, releasing a dense mist of blood that instantly expanded, engulfing the Heavenly Sea Realm expert.
Roar...
The Blood Clan Clone let out an eerie cry. Its hand shot out, grasping empty air and summoning a blood-red longsword which it swung towards the expert.
Ye Yunfei's speed was too fast. For a moment, the Heavenly Sea Realm expert was caught off guard.
Ahhh...
The ten Puppet Soul Threads and the Heavenly Soul Sword inflicted excruciating pain in his head. His face contorted.
Gurgle... Gurgle...
His blood began to boil violently under the summons of the Blood Clan Clone.
Boom! Boom...
Ye Yunfei struck like lightning—nine consecutive punches faster than a flash, every single one landing solidly on the expert's body.
Puff!
Although experts from Ziwei Sect like these had high realms, they usually traveled the Eastern Barrens basking in the respect accorded to their pill arts. They lived lives of privilege, with extremely little experience in brutal, bloody combat. Under Ye Yunfei's frenzied assault, panicked and disoriented, this Heavenly Sea Realm expert had not a shred of chance to fight back. Ye Yunfei directly blasted him apart into a puff of bloody mist.
Impossible...?
At this moment, everyone in Zidan Valley couldn't believe their eyes.
A youngster at the Dao Transformation Realm's level had instantly killed a Heavenly Sea Realm expert!
There were two whole major realms between them!
The gazes of the other Heavenly Sea Realm experts upon Ye Yunfei began to shift, now tinged with wariness.
After all, the power to instantly slay a Heavenly Sea Realm expert was truly terrifying!
At this moment, no one could fathom Ye Yunfei's true strength!
"From now on, everyone attacks together to surround and kill this little bastard!
Under no circumstances must he leave Zidan Valley alive!
Otherwise, if this spreads, our Zidan Valley will become the laughingstock of the entire Eastern Barrens!"
Wang Sheng's gaze was fixed unwaveringly on Ye Yunfei as he spoke, enunciating each word.
"Understood!"
The reply echoed from every member of Zidan Valley, high and low. Waves of murderous intent focused on Ye Yunfei.
"Hahaha...
Since I dared to enter your Zidan Valley, I naturally have ways to deal with you!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly let out a loud laugh.
"Something feels wrong!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Wang Sheng felt a sinking sensation in his heart.
"Fiery Qi of Departure! Rise!"
Ye Yunfei stomped his foot onto the ground.
Rumble...
The earth trembled violently, splitting open a chasm directly below. A torrent of fiery energy surged skyward.
"Formation, complete!"
Ye Yunfei shouted once more, forming hand seals while simultaneously tossing out red formation flags one after another. They unfurled in the wind, planting themselves between heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, a deadly environment was created.
This perilous land was called the Golden Crow Mound!
Caw!...
A sharp crow's cry sounded as the illusory silhouette of a golden crow bathed in a sea of flames materialized.
"Qi of Celestial Thunder!
Come!"
Rumble...
Above in the high heavens, rolling lightning bolts came crashing down.
"Celestial thunder ignites earthly fire! Three Earth Lung Fire Veins, appear!"
Ye Yunfei rapidly performed a series of hand seals and roared once more.
Rumble...
Three locations within Zidan Valley cracked open. Three enormous fire dragons carrying astonishing fiery energy burst forth from the ground, shooting into the sky.
Immediately, flames filled the sky like a torrential downpour, raining down chaotically in all directions. The entire Zidan Valley began to burn, completely transforming into a sea of fire.
"Impossible... How can he summon three Earth Lung Fire Veins?!"
At this moment, Wang Sheng, the Ancestor, stood dumbstruck, utterly unable to believe what he was witnessing.
