"A major incident has occurred!
All the Zhao Family disciples have been eliminated from this Lesser Lantai Gathering!
Not a single one remains!"
"The Zhao Family elders will probably spit blood from rage!"
"Heavens, this kid is too formidable!
I can't help but be impressed!"
...
The entire plaza was immersed in shock.
Every Zhao Family disciple who had fought Ye Yunfei just now was either dead or injured!
Those who were injured no longer had any possibility of returning to the stage to challenge for rankings!
This meant that for this Lesser Lantai Gathering, the Zhao Family had been completely wiped out!
"Boy, I want you dead!"
In the plaza, that Zhao Family elder had reached the peak of fury. His figure suddenly leapt up, charging toward the competition stage at breakneck speed.
Boom rumble rumble...
Vast, majestic energy pressure cascaded from his body, shaking the entire plaza.
A perfected Heavenly Sea Realm expert!
The majority of those present in the plaza today were youngsters at the Destiny Realm or below. Sensing the energy pressure released by the Zhao Family elder, they were scared out of their wits and scrambled backward.
"Stop!
Only Destiny Realm cultivators are allowed on the Lesser Lantai Gathering stage!"
Someone shouted, trying to remind the Zhao Family elder.
However, consumed by violent rage, how could this Zhao Family elder still care about such rules?
He had personally led the team to Lantai City this time, originally hoping for the Zhao Family disciples to distinguish themselves and excel even further in this Lesser Lantai Gathering.
Who could have imagined this outcome!
"Outsiders shall not interfere with the stage battles!"
In the blink of an eye, the Zhao Family elder rushed onto the stage, aiming a palm strike at Ye Yunfei. Yet, just as he approached Ye Yunfei, a grand, authoritative voice resonated from the stage.
Then, a terrifying energy materialized, transforming into a massive fist that punched toward the elder.
Bang!
Without any ability to resist, the elder was sent flying by the punch, landing in the distance and vomiting several mouthfuls of blood.
Hiss!
The crowd couldn't help but draw sharp intakes of cold air.
A perfected Heavenly Sea Realm expert had been injured in an instant.
Everyone was witnessing the formidable power of this stage for the first time.
Several Zhao Family members rushed over to help the elder up.
The elder glared at Ye Yunfei on the stage with venomous hatred, yet he didn't have the courage to charge forward again.
He had sensed a breath of death earlier and understood that the punch from the stage was merely a slight reprimand. If he rushed up again, the stage might directly annihilate him!
"All you young talents on the stage, whoever kills this arrogant fool or drives him off the platform, our Zhao Family will surely offer a grand reward.
Fifteen million law crystals, three top-grade Heavenly Dao magic treasures, twenty Infant-grade pills, and twenty Infant-grade herbs.
Furthermore, our Donghuang Zhao Family will owe you a favor!"
The Zhao Family elder suddenly announced loudly.
Hiss!
Upon hearing the elder's words, the crowd couldn't help but gasp.
Such a reward was far too generous for the young Destiny Realm martial artists on the stage!
This was a massive fortune!
Instantly, on the stage, the gazes of many young geniuses fixed on Ye Yunfei grew fervent.
However, no one dared to make a reckless move.
The combat prowess Ye Yunfei had just displayed was seen clearly by all.
Eighteen young geniuses had jointly besieged him, yet they were utterly defeated. Even the eighth-ranked Lü Qian had been crippled by a single punch, his current state unknown.
"Perhaps only the top-ranked young freaks have a chance to defeat him."
Many whispered in low voices.
Everyone's gaze unconsciously drifted toward the top-ranked prodigies.
Especially toward the likes of Mo Qingxuan, the Third Prince, Ximen Yijian, and a few others at the very top.
"Boy, I will teach you a lesson!"
A burly man suddenly stood up, striding purposefully. In a single step, he arrived at the center of the plaza, standing opposite Ye Yunfei.
A tall Demon Ape followed closely by his side.
He hailed from the Beast Taming Sect, his name Gu Mingzi, ranked sixth!
Boom boom...
The Demon Ape charged toward Ye Yunfei, unleashing rolling waves of power pressure that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, crushing down like a great mountain.
Members of the Beast Taming Sect all had war beasts, fighting alongside them.
Bang!
The Demon Ape reached Ye Yunfei's front, punching straight toward his chest with such might it seemed capable of shattering the void, indestructible.
Bang!
Ye Yunfei neither dodged nor evaded, instead meeting it with a punch of his own, clashing fist to fist with the Demon Ape.
Boom...
Ye Yunfei stood firm, but the Demon Ape staggered back over a dozen steps, grimacing in pain, its face twisted.
Although this Demon Ape possessed great strength, it could not withstand Ye Yunfei's forty Flood Dragon divine strength.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei's physical body was exceptionally tough; even if he stood there allowing it to punch him, it wouldn't cause much harm.
"Boy, cease your impudence!"
Gu Mingzi also arrived, punching toward Ye Yunfei. His fist continuously enlarged, instantly becoming like a small hill, making the void tremble.
Roar...
Dozens of demon beast phantoms rushed out from the fist, howling toward the heavens.
Many of the Beast Taming Sect's inherited techniques were related to demon beasts, often relying on overwhelming force.
Ye Yunfei also punched in response.
Bang bang...
The two exchanged several blows, fists colliding repeatedly.
Pfft!
After the second exchange of punches, Gu Mingzi spat a mouthful of blood, his body staggering back violently. His feet plowed deep furrows into the ground until he retreated to the very edge of the stage, almost falling off.
Hiss!
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
A Beast Taming Sect genius engaging in a force-based contest had failed to withstand even two punches from Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Su, I find their group-bullying tactics distasteful. I shall aid you!"
Suddenly, a woman dressed in pink silk robes stood up and addressed Ye Yunfei.
Lü Dandan!
Upon hearing Lü Dandan's words, everyone's expressions shifted.
Although Lü Dandan currently only ranked fifth on the Demon Prodigy Sub-list, she was the young lady of the Four Directions Trading House—a figure of significant influence. Her words carried great weight!
"Amitabha, Benefactor Ye, this humble monk also disapproves of their actions. I too shall aid you."
Another monk stood up, placing his palms together and performing a respectful bow toward Ye Yunfei.
"Wu Nian, the monk from the Great Thunderclap Temple!
Even the Great Thunderclap Temple supports Ye Yunfei!"
Someone exclaimed.
"I thank both for your kindness.
However, this trash, I can handle them myself."
Ye Yunfei was slightly surprised. He nodded toward the two and replied.
Ye Yunfei's words caused the expressions of the higher-ranked young prodigies to change.
In Ye Yunfei's eyes, they were merely trash!
"Friend, you are too arrogant.
Do you truly believe you can run rampant on this stage?
Before I make my move, you should step down on your own."
Mo Qingxuan's gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as he spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted. The top-ranked Mo Qingxuan was finally stepping forward to deal with Ye Yunfei!
"You're unconvinced?
Come and fight."
Ye Yunfei swept a glance at Mo Qingxuan, utterly dismissive.
Mo Qingxuan's face instantly darkened immensely.
"Boy, you're too audacious. Take my sword!"
Ximen Yijian suddenly rose to his full height, speaking coldly.
Clang!
A long sword shot out from his body, sword energy surging like tidal waves, spreading outward.
Ximen Yijian grasped the sword. The blade seemed to trace a fine line as he thrust it toward Ye Yunfei.
Boom rumble rumble...
On the stage, endless, razor-sharp sword qi appeared, coalescing into a massive sword that slowly descended toward Ye Yunfei's head.
Clang clang...
Five spirit swords shot out from within Ye Yunfei's body, merging into a giant sword that slashed out.
Shoosh!
This sword strike seemed to come from beyond the Ninth Heaven, tearing through the firmament and sweeping away everything.
Boom!
The long sword broke through the air, like an exceedingly brilliant meteor, arriving in a flash.
The sword light swept away the air ahead, slashing toward Ximen Yijian with invincible, peerless momentum.
"How is this possible!"
Shock surfaced on Ximen Yijian's cold, aloof face.
The moment the sword light appeared, he completely failed to capture Ye Yunfei's figure and couldn't grasp the sword technique's momentum or trajectory!
This strike took attack as defense, offering almost no opening to exploit!
Clang!
The massive sword descending from above was directly shattered.
Clang!
The long sword in Ximen Yijian's hand was also knocked flying.
Shoosh!
The long sword in Ye Yunfei's hand came to rest against the space between Ximen Yijian's brows.
How was this possible?
Ximen Yijian couldn't withstand a single sword strike!
Everyone was overwhelmingly shocked!
"Young Master Su, show mercy!
The Sword World would be eternally grateful!"
In the plaza, a tall, thin elder enveloped in sword light paled in alarm, shouting.
"This time, I spare your life."
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"What is this sword technique called?"
Ximen Yijian, his face ashen, asked.
"The Soaring Immortal Single Sword Strike."
Ye Yunfei replied indifferently, withdrawing his sword.
"And you?
Do you want to fight?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to the Third Prince.
The Third Prince's face turned livid.
He understood that his combat prowess wasn't much different from Ximen Yijian's.
Since Ximen Yijian couldn't withstand a single move, he was certainly no match either.
"I will not fight."
Sitting cross-legged, the Third Prince ultimately shook his head.
"Well then, now it's your turn."
Ye Yunfei's gaze landed on Mo Qingxuan.
"Alright.
I shall fight you."
Mo Qingxuan slowly rose to his feet.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, he knew there was no avoiding it!
"The most spectacular battle of this Lesser Lantai Gathering is finally about to begin!"
Someone exclaimed in awe.
