Near the Zhao Family headquarters.
"Patriarch Zhao, leaving in such a hurry? Where are you heading?"
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, high in the sky, his gaze sweeping over the Zhao Family's five flying ships as he spoke in a light tone.
Although his words were soft, every member of the Zhao Family felt their hearts leap into their throats upon hearing them.
In the past, the Zhao Family had repeatedly sent forces to deal with Ye Yunfei, but now that he stood before them, not a single Zhao member dared to make a move.
No Zhao Family expert dared to step forward and face the man whom even five elders and six Primordial Chaos Realm assassins had failed to kill.
Even the two elder protectors stood with ashen faces, unmoving.
Rumble...
After Ye Yunfei arrived, the Tianxuan Army also arrived. Ship after ship swept across the sky in a mighty formation, shaking the heavens.
Rumble...
Behind the Tianxuan Army, even more ships arrived like a swarm of locusts—a dark, dense mass that blotted out the sky.
Soon, nearly ten thousand ships crowded the space, tightly encircling the Zhao Family's five vessels.
Compared to the ten thousand ships, the Zhao Family's five ships resembled mere ripples in a vast ocean.
"It's over. Our Zhao Family is finished."
Witnessing this formidable display, every member of the Zhao Family wore an expression of utter despair, terrified to the core, some even trembling uncontrollably.
"It's Young Master Su! Young Master Su has finally made his move!"
"Young Master Su is the savior of our Eastern Barrens! He led the Tianxuan Army to wipe out the Corpse World's army and restored peace to our land!"
At that moment, countless fervent gazes were fixed upon Ye Yunfei, who stood before the Zhao Family's five ships, adoration shining in their eyes.
During this period, the title "Young Master Su" had spread throughout the Eastern Barrens, earning deep admiration from all.
"We pay our respects to Young Master Su!"
Leaders of some forces began bowing respectfully to Ye Yunfei.
Seeing others take the lead, more and more people followed, loudly offering their salutations.
"We pay our respects to Young Master Su!"
A steady stream of reverent voices filled the air. Eventually, so many people were calling out that the words "Young Master Su" echoed across the land, lingering without end.
At that moment, every eye in the sky and on the ground was fixed upon Ye Yunfei. He had utterly become the center of this world!
"There's no need for such formalities," Ye Yunfei waved his hand.
Immediately, everyone fell silent, their fervent gazes still locked on him.
"Su Fei, what do you truly want?"
At this point, Patriarch Zhao stepped out from the ship, looking at Ye Yunfei with a wary expression as he demanded in a low voice.
"What do I want? Isn't that obvious?"
Ye Yunfei gave a cold chuckle.
"I believe everyone here today shares the same purpose: to settle accounts with the Zhao Family."
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze over the dense crowds of various large and small forces surrounding them, speaking lightly.
"That's right! We're all here to settle accounts with the Zhao Family!"
"The Zhao Family has committed countless atrocities, piling up blood-soaked crimes against our Eastern Barrens. They deserve death!"
"The Zhao Family destroyed my home and killed my family. I will make them pay in blood!"
...
The crowd erupted in shouts.
"Everyone, it's true that our Zhao Family offended many in the recent past, but we were forced into it. If we hadn't obeyed orders, the Corpse World would have exterminated us. Truth be told, the Zhao Family is also a victim!"
Patriarch Zhao argued.
"Nonsense! Not long ago, your Zhao Family members were strutting about, high on their success!"
"The beasts of your Zhao Family defiled dozens of female disciples from our Long River Sect! Don't you dare try to shirk responsibility!"
"The second elder of your Zhao Family personally led men to loot all the treasures passed down for generations in our Setting Sun Valley. Return them at once!"
...
As soon as Patriarch Zhao finished speaking, furious roars arose one after another, each denouncing the Zhao Family's crimes.
"At this point, no words can save your Zhao Family. Today marks your doom."
Ye Yunfei said calmly.
"Su Fei, are you truly pushing our Zhao Family to the brink? Listen well—our Zhao Family has backing in the Central Divine Land! Elder Zhao of the Yin Yang Sect there hails from our Zhao Family of the Eastern Barrens. Elder Zhao is one of the five most powerful elders in the Yin Yang Sect! If you dare move against our family, Elder Zhao of the Yin Yang Sect will surely come to settle accounts with you in the future."
One of the Zhao Family's elder protectors suddenly stepped forward, speaking sharply.
What?
An elder in the Central Divine Land originated from the Zhao Family of the Eastern Barrens?
Hearing this, countless people in the surrounding area gasped in shock.
Generally, the central region of any continent held the richest spiritual energy and most complete laws.
The Central Divine Land was the heart of the Primordial Continent—the most powerful region.
The Corpse World was a superpower originating from the Central Divine Land!
Besides the Corpse World, many other superpowers commanded awe across the continent, such as the Heavenly God Palace, the Three Pure Sect, the Western Holy Court, the Yin Yang Sect, and Mount Sumeru, among others.
Among them, the Yin Yang Sect was an ancient super sect whose prestige had long spread to every corner of the Primordial Continent.
Who would have thought the Zhao Family of the Eastern Barrens had such close ties with the Yin Yang Sect!
"Not even Elder Zhao of the Yin Yang Sect—let alone the Sect Master—can save your Zhao Family now,"
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
Ye Yunfei was well aware of those superpowers in the Central Divine Land. For him, even the Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace wasn't someone to fear. What did a mere elder of the Yin Yang Sect amount to?
After all, the Heavenly God Palace's overall strength far surpassed that of the Yin Yang Sect!
"Su Fei, I advise you not to push things too far. Our Zhao Family is not to be trifled with. If you corner us, we'll fight you to the bitter end!"
Another elder protector of the Zhao Family gnashed his teeth and spat out.
"Your Zhao Family no longer even has the capital to fight."
Ye Yunfei sneered, still with hands clasped behind his back, as he strode forward step by step.
The Tianxuan Army forces closely followed behind him.
"Su Fei, what will it take for you to spare our Zhao Family? State your conditions. If it's within our power, we'll do our utmost to satisfy you."
Patriarch Zhao's tone suddenly softened.
"Prepare to attack!"
Leaders of the surrounding forces also began issuing orders.
"Patriarch, it seems the only way left is a fierce fight!"
One elder protector sent a voice transmission to Patriarch Zhao.
"To catch bandits, first capture their leader! Su Fei is the key. Let's all strike together, taking him down with lightning speed. Once he's subdued, everything else falls into place!"
Another elder protector transmitted to all the Zhao Family experts.
"Fine! We'll move together and subdue Su Fei with combined force. He's walking toward us. Let him get a bit closer, then we'll all explode into action!"
Patriarch Zhao hardened his heart and quietly gave the command.
Ye Yunfei's soul power was incredibly potent. He clearly observed the expressions and demeanor of the Zhao Family's higher-ups, inwardly sneering.
To Ye Yunfei, two early-stage Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators and a few Dao Origin Realm experts posed absolutely no threat.
To speak boldly, even if Ye Yunfei stood there without fighting back, his current monstrously robust physique would render these Zhao Family higher-ups incapable of harming him.
Ye Yunfei walked with hands behind his back, step by step toward the Zhao Family forces. His pace appeared leisurely but was actually swift; in an instant, he stood before the Zhao Family's higher-ups.
"Now!"
Patriarch Zhao barked.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Zhao Family's two elder protectors charged out first. Both were early-stage Primordial Chaos Realm experts, pouncing toward Ye Yunfei from left and right at their maximum speed.
The other Zhao Family experts also sprang into action.
After the previous battles, the Zhao Family now had ten Dao Origin Realm experts left—Patriarch Zhao included!
Since Ye Yunfei was already extremely close to them, the two early-stage Primordial Chaos Realm experts and ten Dao Origin Realm experts instantly closed in on him. Murderous intent radiated from each, the pressure of their unleashed energy causing the entire area to tremble.
Right at that moment.
A Blood Clan clone abruptly appeared beside Ye Yunfei, unleashing its blood-controlling divine ability. Rolling crimson mist rapidly spread, instantly enveloping a vast area.
Gurgle...
All the Zhao Family higher-ups, including the two elder protectors, were horrified to discover that the blood within their bodies began to boil as if brought to a boil.
Under these conditions, their movements slowed considerably.
Swish!
The Blood Clan clone suddenly produced a crimson greatsword in its hand, blood-red droplets dripping from it. It swung the blade forward with a fierce slash.
The Blood Clan clone had absorbed and refined the essence blood of many Dao Origin Realm experts and even Primordial Chaos Realm experts during this time, causing its combat strength to soar. It could now easily engage in battle with early-stage Primordial Chaos Realm experts!
The crimson greatsword was a newly awakened divine ability called the Blood Blade, condensed from pure essence blood and imbued with profound blood path energy and laws!
Boom! Boom...
The Blood Clan clone, wielding the crimson greatsword, engaged in fierce combat with the two Zhao Family elder protectors.
"We'll join forces to kill him!"
Patriarch Zhao led the other Zhao Family higher-ups in continuing their assault on Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei kept his left hand behind his back, took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and threw a punch.
Rumble...
As his fist surged forward, the energy and laws of the entire region trembled and shook violently.
Borrowing Heaven Nine Funeral Fists!
Pfft!
A Zhao Family Dao Origin Realm expert charging toward Ye Yunfei at high speed failed to dodge in time. A single punch from Ye Yunfei caused him to explode.
Having reached the completion stage of the Life Palace Realm and combined with the Borrowing Heaven Nine Funeral Fists—a technique specifically for transcending levels in battle—fighting Dao Origin Realm experts was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
Pfft!
Ye Yunfei took another step forward and threw another punch, blasting apart another Zhao Family Dao Origin Realm expert.
Next, Ye Yunfei threw seven consecutive punches. One punch, one foe. He exploded seven more Zhao Family Dao Origin Realm experts.
These Dao Origin Realm experts didn't fail to dodge out of unwillingness; they simply couldn't escape.
Guided by the fist force, the energy and laws of this area bore down upon them, making movement agonizingly difficult. They could only watch helplessly as the fist landed on their bodies.
Everyone witnessing Ye Yunfei kill nine Dao Origin Realm experts with one punch each was utterly stunned. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak; a dead silence hung in the air.
"Su Fei, you... are too ruthless..."
By now, only one Dao Origin Realm expert remained in the Zhao Family—Patriarch Zhao himself. He stood there, shivering from head to toe, staring at Ye Yunfei with terror-filled eyes.
