It must be said, the movement techniques of those twenty Primordial Chaos Realm assassins were far superior to the assassins with Dao Origin Realm strength.
They each tightly restrained their auras, moving stealthily through space as if they didn't exist at all.
However, Ye Yunfei's perception abilities were too powerful, and he was already extremely familiar with the Tianyou Tomb's movement techniques. He soon locked onto the positions of all twenty assassins.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a long sword abruptly thrust out from the space behind Ye Yunfei, aiming directly for his heart. It was silent and utterly unguardable.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei unleashed a Heavenly Soul Sword, directly attacking the assassin's Soul Sea.
Ah!
Caught off guard, the assassin felt as if his head was about to explode from the pain. He cried out sharply and retreated rapidly.
Ye Yunfei slashed his sword backward, channeling the Sword Intent of One Sword to Pacify the World. A streak of sword light shot out and instantly arrived before the assassin.
Battling the intense pain in his head, the assassin raised his sword to block the incoming sword light.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
At Ye Yunfei's thought, over a hundred Puppet Soul Threads simultaneously appeared, lunging toward the assassin's Soul Sea.
Ye Yunfei's current cultivation level was the completion stage of the Life Palace Realm. While this was enough to crush opponents at the Dao Origin Realm, it didn't offer much of an advantage against these Primordial Chaos Realm masters. Therefore, Ye Yunfei specifically leveraged his powerful Soul Power to deal with them.
The assassin's expression changed drastically as he desperately tried to retreat.
"Brat, don't you dare!"
Just then, over a dozen assassins appeared beside that assassin almost simultaneously. They raised their swords to block the sword light Ye Yunfei had unleashed.
After deflecting the attack, those assassins vanished from sight again.
"Be careful, everyone. Stick as close together as possible. Don't give him the chance to pick us off one by one," the assassin at the Origin Creation Realm level ordered.
Whoosh, whoosh...
The next instant, over a dozen long swords materialized in the space around Ye Yunfei's body, like a dozen cold, venomous snakes striking at various vital points on his body.
Over a dozen assassins attacked at the same time!
Rumble...
The moment those assassins struck, they all unleashed their energy pressure to suppress Ye Yunfei. The vast, mighty energy pressure crushed down on him like countless invisible divine mountains.
So many Primordial Chaos Realm masters releasing their energy pressure at once created a terrifying effect, as if the end of the world had arrived.
However, Ye Yunfei's current spiritual power intensity surpassed that of all Dao Origin Realm practitioners and was nearing the Primordial Chaos Realm level. Coupled with his exceptionally formidable physical body, he could still move freely despite the energy pressure from so many Primordial Chaos Realm experts, not suffering much impact.
In the blink of an eye, the blades reached the space right beside Ye Yunfei, emanating bone-chilling sword energy.
"Time Reversal Art."
Immediately, the flow of time in this area was affected. First, it stilled, then forcefully reversed.
The swords that were originally thrusting toward Ye Yunfei were now being pulled backward by a strange temporal energy.
The assassins attacking Ye Yunfei were horrified to feel their movements being reversed, as if time was flowing backward!
In an instant, the time in this space reverted to where it was one breath earlier!
Only Ye Yunfei remained unaffected.
"Die."
Ye Yunfei raised his sword and slashed.
This sword was forged by melting over three hundred cataclysmic treasures. Its power was terrifying. Wherever the blade passed, space was directly cleaved open, leaving behind a pitch-black spatial rift.
Plop, plop, plop...
Wherever the sword went, it shredded one assassin after another into dust.
The assassins wanted to resist desperately, but their movements were being reversed. Their bodies were completely out of their control. They could only watch helplessly as their forms were pulverized by the passing blade.
In an instant, ten assassins at the Primordial Chaos Realm level were slaughtered by the sword, their Soul Bodies shredded as well, resulting in immediate annihilation.
"How is this possible!"
Seeing this, all the assassins were chilled to the core, a cold dread rising in them. They couldn't help but retreat repeatedly, putting distance between themselves and Ye Yunfei.
Killing ten Primordial Chaos Realm fighters with a single slash!
Such combat prowess was astonishing!
The assassin at the Origin Creation Realm level fixed his gaze intently on Ye Yunfei.
"Su Fei, it seems I've underestimated you yet again," he finally said slowly after staring at Ye Yunfei for a while.
"Bring out the hostages!"
He barked lowly.
Following his shout, two black-clad figures appeared beside him, exuding formidable energy pressure.
Both were at the Origin Creation Realm level!
To deal with Ye Yunfei, the Tianyou Tomb had actually dispatched three assassins at the Origin Creation Realm level!
They were truly sparing no cost!
One must know, an assassin at the Origin Creation Realm level commanded an absolutely astronomical fee for any mission.
It was probably difficult even for the major powers of the Eastern Barrens to hire one.
And now three had come!
One of the black-clad figures waved his hand and produced a black, three-storied pagoda.
This was a spatial treasure!
Swoosh, swoosh...
Next, figure after figure was transmitted out from the three-storied pagoda.
A total of over a hundred people!
Ye Yunfei focused his gaze and saw they were all members of the Ziwei Sect who had been captured!
There were three elders, over a dozen department heads, and a large group of excellent Core Disciples.
Ji Yue was among them!
Every one of them had their cultivation sealed. Powerless, they swayed unsteadily where they stood.
"Su Fei is here!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei, the Ziwei Sect members grew extremely agitated.
"Su Fei, do you see? These are all members of your Ziwei Sect," the black-clad man who had taken out the pagoda said with a smile.
"Everyone, show yourselves. Attack together!"
He then commanded.
Swoosh, swoosh...
Another hundred-plus assassins appeared in the sky and land around them!
All were black-clad, masked figures!
Ye Yunfei understood now. The assassins sent by the Tianyou Tomb to deal with him had finally all shown themselves!
The assassins before him were numerous and powerful enough to destroy the vast majority of forces in the Eastern Barrens!
"Su Fei, do you want to save them?
If you do, then do not resist. Seal your own cultivation.
Otherwise, I will kill them one by one right before your eyes," the black-clad man who had produced the pagoda sneered.
Thwack!
As his words fell, the black-clad man pointed a finger, instantly annihilating a Ziwei Sect Core Disciple, body and spirit.
"You're looking for death!"
Enraged, Ye Yunfei activated his Spatial Shifting Art. Taking a single step, he vanished.
"Be careful!
He's trying to snatch the hostages!"
All three Origin Creation Realm assassins shouted sharply in unison. They attacked together, unleashing horrifying energy pressure to tightly seal off the space around the pagoda.
The black-clad man who had produced the pagoda waved his sleeve, which expanded continuously and, swift as lightning, swept up all the Ziwei Sect members.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei's figure appeared before this black-clad man like a ghost.
"Brat, die!"
The three Origin Creation Realm assassins reacted with astonishing speed, attacking simultaneously. Three bizarrely-shaped scythes appeared in their hands, emanating sinister energy as they hacked toward Ye Yunfei.
Three Origin Creation Realm masters attacking together unleashed an energy pressure that swept outwards, causing all nearby mountains to instantly explode. Heaven and earth shook violently as if being sieved.
"Brat, if you dare fight back, we will kill one of your Ziwei Sect members every single breath!" the black-clad man who had swept away the Ziwei Sect members sneered.
Thwack, thwack, thwack!
No sooner had he spoken than three Core Disciples from the Ziwei Sect simultaneously exploded, turning into three bursts of bloody mist.
"YOU'RE ASKING TO DIE!"
Ye Yunfei roared furiously.
