"Today, no one who arrives will be of any use. Even if the Emperor himself comes, it will be the same. After today, there will be no more Li Family in the imperial capital."
Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
"Ye Yunfei, you've killed so many members of our Li Family, and even crippled our Ancestor. No matter how great the enmity was, it should be resolved now! Is it really necessary for you to annihilate our Li Family completely?!" Li Jianjun said.
Unconsciously, his tone had begun to soften. After learning that Ye Yunfei possessed the battle prowess of a Profound Realm expert, a sense of regret had already begun to grow in Li Jianjun's heart. If he had known this would be the outcome, he would never have provoked Ye Yunfei.
Inside the ancestral hall, Li Chaofan felt the same way. Gazing at Ye Yunfei standing majestically outside the large formation, then looking at his terrified Li Family clansmen beside him, a thick wave of remorse suddenly surged within his heart. He abruptly felt that provoking Ye Yunfei might have been the greatest mistake the Li Family had ever made! This mistake could potentially lead to the extermination of the Li Family!
BOOM...
Ye Yunfei did not even bother to reply to Li Jianjun's words. Suddenly appearing, he threw a punch against the formation. This punch of Ye Yunfei's landed on a critical node of the formation. Immediately, the entire grand array violently shook once, seemingly beginning to buckle under the strain.
Instantly, the faces of all the Li Family clansmen paled slightly.
"A mere small formation dares to think it can block me?"
Ye Yunfei sneered coldly and threw another punch, again striking a critical node of the formation. At once, the energy of the entire grand array became chaotic, shaking violently as if an earthquake had struck.
"Ye Yunfei, I advise you not to waste your time. This grand array is one of the foundations of our Li Family. It is extremely sophisticated and not so easily broken. Ye Yunfei, if you stop now, our Li Family can compensate you with a sum of wealth," Li Jianjun attempted to persuade.
However, right at that moment.
"Patriarch! Look, a crack has appeared there!"
One Li Family clansman suddenly pointed at a certain location within the formation and shouted in alarm.
"How is this possible!"
Li Jianjun looked over, his face involuntarily filled with shock. Sure enough, at that position, a crack had appeared on the radiant barrier of the formation.
BOOM BOOM...
Outside the ancestral hall, Ye Yunfei continuously threw punches, one after another. Every fist accurately struck various critical nodes of the formation. On the grand array, more and more cracks began to appear, spreading like spiderwebs, covering the entire radiant barrier of the formation.
"This is bad! The ancestral grand array is about to be broken!"
"Once the formation breaks, we are all dead!"
...
Inside the ancestral hall, the members of the Li Family were completely panicked, crying out in terror one after another.
"Ye Yunfei, stop!"
Li Jianjun was also utterly flustered. Even the Li Family Ancestor was no match for Ye Yunfei. Once this formation was broken, everyone in the Li Family would be at Ye Yunfei's mercy!
Having already found the method to break the formation, how could Ye Yunfei possibly stop?
BOOM BOOM...
After more than a dozen punches.
Finally.
RUMBLE...
The Li Family's ancestral grand formation exploded with a tremendous roar, shattering into countless motes of light and fragments of the formation that scattered everywhere.
Ye Yunfei took a step forward and entered the Li Family Ancestral Hall, hands clasped behind his back. His mocking gaze slowly swept across the interior.
Inside the ancestral hall, it was dead silent.
All the Li Family clansmen were filled with terror and awe, each one trembling in fear, not daring to make a sound.
Click-clack, click-clack...
The only sounds breaking the oppressive silence of the Li Family Ancestral Hall were the continuous chattering of teeth from some of the terrified clansmen.
Finally, Ye Yunfei's gaze landed on Li Chaofan.
"Now, do you still think I am incapable of wiping out your Li Family?" Ye Yunfei stared at Li Chaofan and asked faintly.
Li Chaofan's face was full of terror, utterly at a loss for how to respond.
"Ye Yunfei, please hear me out. This is all a misunderstanding. Before, I did not know of your true strength. Thus, I failed to show you proper respect. In the future, our Li Family will absolutely dare not show you the slightest disrespect," Li Jianjun said bravely.
BOOM...
Ye Yunfei simply hurled a punch at him. The terrifying power of his physical body instantly transformed the space where Li Jianjun stood into a frightening vacuum of pressure.
THUD!
Li Jianjun's strength was merely at the Late Stage Heaven Realm. Facing Ye Yunfei, he hardly had any ability to fight back. Struck by the punch, he was sent flying backward. The horrific force of the fist shattered multiple parts of his body, leaving him covered in blood.
"Patriarch!"
Several Li Family clansmen rushed over to help Li Jianjun up. Covered in blood and severely injured, Li Jianjun's eyes were filled with sorrow and despair.
All the Li Family clansmen stared at Ye Yunfei with looks of horror and utter hopelessness.
The atmosphere inside the ancestral hall was oppressively heavy. No one dared to step forward and oppose Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei alone had crushed the entire Li Family!
"Ye Yunfei, isn't it enough that you've brought our Li Family to this state?!"
Suddenly, Li Chaofan seemed unable to bear this suffocating atmosphere. Stiffening his resolve, he roared loudly.
SHRIICK!
A pitch-black dagger abruptly appeared, its tip pressed against Li Chaofan's brow.
"From beginning to end, it was your Li Family members who pushed me. Otherwise, things would not have come to this point," Ye Yunfei said calmly.
As soon as the words left his mouth.
CRUNCH...
The pitch-black dagger suddenly thrust forward, piercing into Li Chaofan's skull. Li Chaofan's body trembled, and blood gushed out from between his brows. Then, the light gradually faded from his eyes. With a dull thud, he fell to the ground, dead.
"All the Li Family elders and leaders must die," Ye Yunfei stated flatly.
As soon as the words were spoken.
WHOOSH!
Ye Yunfei took a step, moving like a phantom to appear in front of one of the Li Family's high-ranking elders. His hand shot out like lightning, suddenly grasping the elder's throat. This Li Family elder only possessed the strength of the Heaven Realm Early Stage. Facing Ye Yunfei, he had absolutely no ability to resist.
CRACK...
Ye Yunfei lifted this Li Family elder into the air like a chicken, tightened his grip, crushing the man's throat, then casually tossed the body aside onto the ground.
"Let's fight him to the death..."
Suddenly, another Li Family high-ranking elder roared.
SHRIICK!
His roar was cut short as a streak of black light flashed past, severing his throat. The elder clutched desperately at his neck but could not stop the blood gushing forth. He then collapsed to the floor and died.
All these high-ranking members of the Li Family possessed mere Heaven Realm strength. To Ye Yunfei, they were too weak, mere lambs for slaughter.
The Li Family members were all filled with extreme fury, but none dared to attack. Alongside their anger, they felt a deep sense of utter despair.
It was at this moment.
"You damned villain Ye Yunfei, stop!"
A loud shout rang out from the distance.
Figures exuding sharp auras rushed into the Li Residence one after another.
BOOM BOOM...
Behind them, there were also squads upon squads of soldiers, cavalry and infantry alike, densely packed. They swarmed into the Li Residence like a tidal wave.
"Chancellor Xiao and Grand Marshal Sima... they've finally arrived!"
As Li Jianjun saw the arrivals, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited once more in his heart.
