"Su Fei, do you now understand the price of provoking our Tianyou Tomb? It is not only you, but all forces and people related to you who will be purged!" a killer said coldly.
As soon as the words fell, the killer flicked his sleeve, shattering the bodies of four more hostages, turning them into four puffs of blood mist.
"The Tianyou Tomb will pay a price for this!" Ye Yunfei said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei retrieved ten jade vials and opened their lids. Ten pills from each bottle shot out, streaming continuously into his mouth.
These pills were all used to temporarily unleash his potential!
After taking the pills, Ye Yunfei employed the Origin Essence Blood Disintegration Technique. Columns of blood mist continuously sprayed from all the pores on his body, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding space was suffused with a dense, viscous fog of Origin Essence Blood that seemed almost solid.
Ye Yunfei's aura also soared dramatically.
At this moment, whether in spiritual energy intensity or physical strength, Ye Yunfei's power was skyrocketing!
The Origin Essence Blood Disintegration Technique was an extremely profound forbidden art. Warriors at any cultivation level could use it to forcibly amplify their strength more than tenfold for a short period!
Boom!
Currently enraged to his core, Ye Yunfei's immense energy pressure surged wildly from within him, transforming into rolling hurricanes that swept out in all directions.
Rumble…
The Heavenly Emperor Remnant Soul within his Soul Sea was also fully activated. An utterly terrifying wave of Soul Power energy surged out, vast and mighty.
"Agh…"
The Dao Origin Realm assassins who had just been blasted away by the Heavenly Emperor Remnant Soul had struggled to their feet, but now they were suppressed once more. Some couldn't withstand it, their Soul Bodies shattering on the spot, scattering their souls and dispersing their spirits.
The Primal Chaos Realm assassins desperately retreated, moving away from Ye Yunfei.
The three Origin Creation Realm killers wore grave expressions, stepping back one pace at a time.
Their own Soul Power energy was also quite formidable, and their Soul Seas contained quite a few high-level soul-type artifacts, yet they were still finding it somewhat difficult to withstand.
The pressure from the Heavenly Emperor Remnant Soul was simply too great!
The Blood Clan clone suddenly appeared, transforming into a crimson streak of light as it rushed over to suck the Origin Essence Blood from those Dao Origin Realm assassins.
Ye Yunfei, now incarnated as a being covered in blood, strode step by step towards the three Origin Creation Realm killers.
Each step he took caused the heavens and earth to tremble violently.
"How can this kid's soul energy be so terrifying?" one killer couldn't help but say.
"No, this definitely isn't his own Soul Body. I suspect there is a powerful expert's Soul Body within his Soul Sea. This terrifying soul force energy should be released by that expert's Soul Body," another killer said.
"I never thought that we, respectable experts at the Origin Creation Realm, would be so helpless before a junior like this. If it weren't for these hostages, our current situation would likely be quite dire. Of course, this is mainly because of that powerful Soul Body within his Soul Sea. Otherwise, this kid alone wouldn't have the ability to force us to this point," the third killer stated.
"Su Fei, I heard he is a senior elder of the Ziwei Sect. I will kill him right in front of you now." At this moment, one of the killers reached out, grabbed an elder by the throat, lifted him, and said coldly to Ye Yunfei.
The Ziwei Sect had three ordinary senior elders captured; this elder was one of them.
"Su Fei, this woman is called Ji Yue. I heard you have a good relationship with her. I wonder how you will feel watching her be killed before your eyes." Another killer pointed a finger, and a woman flew out, suspended in the air before him.
It was indeed Ji Yue!
"Senior Sister Ji Yue! Elder Hu!" Ye Yunfei halted mid-step, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the three Origin Creation Realm killers.
"Hahaha… Su Fei, it seems you care a lot about these two." The three Origin Creation Realm killers observed Ye Yunfei's reaction and couldn't help but laugh.
"Su Fei…" Ji Yue's beautiful eyes looked towards Ye Yunfei as she opened her mouth to speak.
"Senior Sister Ji Yue, don't speak! Rest assured, I will do everything in my power to save you," Ye Yunfei immediately transmitted his voice.
Ye Yunfei knew that in this situation, if Ji Yue said anything that slightly provoked these three killers, she would be killed immediately.
These Tianyou Tomb assassins undertook killing missions year-round; taking lives was a matter of routine for them.
"Release everyone. Immediately," Ye Yunfei stared at the three killers, his voice hoarse.
"For us to release them? That won't be so easy," one killer sneered.
"What will it take for you to release them?" Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then asked.
"Hahaha… Kid, I didn't expect you to start showing signs of yielding. It seems the information we gathered isn't wrong—being overly emotional and caring about those around you is one of your weaknesses," a killer laughed.
"Wanting us to release them isn't entirely impossible. Abandon your resistance and seal your own cultivation. Then we can let these people go," another killer said.
"If I seal my own cultivation, you will certainly refuse to release them," Ye Yunfei said gravely.
"You have no choice now. If you don't do as we say, just watch these hostages be killed one by one," that killer sneered.
Ye Yunfei stared at the three killers, the killing intent in his heart seemingly endless.
Yet Ye Yunfei knew that these three killers had locked onto Ji Yue and Elder Hu. The slightest move from him, and they would undoubtedly kill immediately!
Ye Yunfei truly couldn't bear to watch the two of them die right before his eyes like this.
So many had already died earlier; Ye Yunfei could no longer stand to see more hostages executed.
Thus, Ye Yunfei stood there, motionless, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a wounded and trapped beast.
"Well, kid, make your choice. Also, you don't have much time. You have only five breaths. After five breaths, I will start killing," one killer declared.
"Su Fei, don't listen to them! Once you seal your cultivation, these three bastards will absolutely not let you go. You don't need to worry about us. Just attack and kill them directly, to avenge our Ziwei Sect members who have died!" At this moment, Elder Hu gritted his teeth and spoke, a determined expression on his face.
He had already resolved to face death, and had no more reservations.
"That's right, Su Fei, don't listen to them. Don't worry about the two of us!" Ji Yue steeled her heart, not caring about anything anymore, and cried out.
"Hehe… Two breaths have already passed. There are only three breaths left, kid. Have you made your choice?" A killer laughed with a bone-chilling voice.
