Ye Yunfei stood high in the air, his gaze sweeping coldly over the five Tribulation Birth Realm experts.
Whoosh whoosh…
At that very moment, four masked men abruptly stepped out from the surrounding space, their eyes sharp as divine swords, locking onto Ye Yunfei.
Assassins from the Tianyou Tomb—and all four were at the Tribulation Birth Realm!
In total, nine Tribulation Birth Realm experts now surrounded Ye Yunfei!
“So many Tribulation Birth Realm experts!
Brother Su, do you think we can take them?”
Situ Kong'er's Sound Transmission echoed within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
Situ Kong'er had wanted to come out earlier, but Ye Yunfei had told him to remain within the Phantom Tower.
Because with his techniques and martial arts, staying hidden was where he could exert his greatest power.
“There's no need for us to fight them.
We just need to find a way to leave.”
Ye Yunfei pondered for a moment before replying.
Facing nine Tribulation Birth Realm opponents simultaneously, Ye Yunfei lacked the confidence to win outright. There was no need to force a desperate battle.
“Boy, our Tianyou Tomb has been passed down for so many years across the Vast Heaven Continent. This is the first time a junior has dared provoke us so brazenly, and to have inflicted such heavy losses upon us.
Now, prepare to pay the price.”
One of the Tianyou Tomb assassins slowly raised the longsword in his hand, pointing it at Ye Yunfei as he spoke in an icy voice.
“Everyone, let's move. There's no need for words with this brat.
We simply cut him down directly!”
A Corpse World elder took a step forward, his voice stern and forceful.
Boom…
A terrifying wave of energy suppression erupted from his body, sweeping towards Ye Yunfei like a raging sea.
Boom! Boom!
The other Tribulation Birth Realm experts all erupted as well, each one stepping forward, closing in on Ye Yunfei.
The energy released by nine Tribulation Birth Realms together was too dreadful.
The very space around them shook, sprouting fine spatial cracks, dark and sinister, like black spiderwebs clinging to the fabric of space.
Ye Yunfei found that the space where he stood was completely sealed off by this terrifying energy!
Boom…
Suddenly, a powerful surge of Soul Force Energy swept out from Ye Yunfei's head like a heaven-shaking tsunami, shaking the entire world.
The Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul!
Facing nine Tribulation Birth Realm foes, Ye Yunfei directly invoked the Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul!
For a moment, Soul Power flooded the area like raging tides, surging and swelling.
“What is this?!”
All nine Tribulation Birth experts who had been closing in felt a chill run through their entire bodies, their hairs standing on end. They felt as though a peerless ferocious beast from ancient times stood before them.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yunfei exerted his full strength, executing Spatial Teleportation, and vanished without a trace.
When he reappeared, he was already atop a distant mountain peak.
“Damn it!
After him!”
A Corpse World expert was furious, activating his movement technique to pursue Ye Yunfei.
The other four Corpse World experts also immediately launched their movement techniques, giving chase.
The four Tianyou Tomb assassins, however, directly merged into space, concealing their forms as they silently drifted towards Ye Yunfei's position.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei didn't wait for the Tribulation Birth experts to get close. His figure flashed, and he once again executed Spatial Teleportation, appearing within a vast, overgrown forest far in the distance.
This was a broad mountainous region, with overlapping mountain ranges crisscrossing and rolling hills rising and falling.
“Chase him!”
The nine Tribulation Birth experts were hardly willing to let Ye Yunfei go, each unleashing their full speed in pursuit.
Yet the next moment, when they charged into the forest, they found they had already lost sight of Ye Yunfei.
“Where is he?”
The nine Tribulation Birth Realm cultivators released their Soul Power, enveloping the entire mountainous area, conducting an almost inch-by-inch carpet search. Yet they found nothing.
“That brat is nearby. Let's split up and search!”
A Corpse World elder said grimly.
Thus, the nine Tribulation Birth experts charged off in separate directions to widen their search.
How terrifyingly fast were the movement speeds of these nine Tribulation Birth Realm experts? In an instant, they were far away.
Not far from where the nine Tribulation Birth experts had just stood, beneath an ancient towering tree, within an inconspicuous tree hollow, a squirrel cautiously poked its head out, peering around.
This very squirrel was, in fact, Situ Kong'er transformed!
While it would be easy for experts of their level to detect the presence of this squirrel, the sheer number of snakes, insects, rats, and ants in this vast forest was simply uncountable. Why would they pay any attention to a common squirrel?
“Brother Situ, they won't discover you.
Your transformation is too exquisite.”
Just then, Ye Yunfei's Sound Transmission sounded within Situ Kong'er's Soul Sea.
“I have refined and assimilated the ancestral heritage artifact passed down by our founder. Furthermore, my strength has improved significantly during this period. These guys here aren't capable of seeing through my transformation.”
Situ Kong'er said confidently.
“That's true.”
Ye Yunfei chuckled.
“In that case, why don't we go provoke these old fogeys a bit?”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before suggesting.
“Provoke these nine old fogeys?”
Situ Kong'er was startled upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
“Relax, I have a sense of proportion.”
Ye Yunfei assured him.
“Alright then.”
Situ Kong'er nodded.
A short while later…
One of the Corpse World's Tribulation Birth experts was searching a certain spot within this mountainous region.
Boom…
Suddenly, terrifying waves of Soul Force Energy surged from behind him, charging towards him like ten thousand stampeding horses.
Simultaneously, a small sword condensed from Soul Power and several hundred long, sinister Soul Force-infused threads shot into his Soul Sea, aiming for his Soul Body.
Horrified, the Tribulation Birth expert mobilized all of his Soul Force Energy to resist. At the same time, over a dozen soul-type defensive artifacts appeared within his Soul Sea, activating instantly to protect his Soul Body.
Among these dozen-plus soul artifacts, three were annihilator-grade artifacts, while the rest were spirit-grade artifacts.
Even so, the Tribulation Birth expert was forced into a state where his face flushed crimson, a splitting headache assaulting him. For a moment, his body swayed unsteadily as if he were drunk.
Boom!
A thick, blinding sword beam continuously expanded, lunging towards the Tribulation Birth expert like a giant dragon.
Enraged, the Tribulation Birth expert threw out a punch, colliding with the massive sword beam.
Boom!
Violent shockwaves of impact energy radiated outwards. A large stretch of dense forest was instantly destroyed, leaving behind only a scorched, blackened ruin.
“Who’s there?! Show yourself!”
The Tribulation Birth expert shouted sharply.
Yet there was no response.
All he could see was the expanse of scorched earth before him and the vast, overgrown forest in the distance.
Whoosh whoosh…
The other Tribulation Birth experts, hearing the commotion, instantly activated their movement techniques, rushing towards the location.
“What happened?”
One Tribulation Birth expert asked.
“I was just attacked. It must have been that brat Su Fei, but I can’t find him now.”
The ambushed Tribulation Birth expert answered with a dark expression.
“It seems that brat has cultivated a highly sophisticated movement technique.
And this technique may very well surpass the movement arts of our Tianyou Tomb.”
A Tianyou Tomb assassin said coldly.
“Su Fei is from the Ziwei Sect of the Eastern Barrens. Ziwei Sect is an Emperor’s Way tradition, founded by Emperor Ziwei. Could this movement technique be part of Ziwei Sect’s Emperor’s Way heritage?”
A Corpse World expert said gravely.
“That is possible.”
Another Corpse World expert replied.
Emperor’s Way heritage!
Greed lit up in the eyes of all nine Tribulation Birth Realm experts.
“If we find that brat, don’t kill him immediately. It would be best to capture him alive.”
One Tribulation Birth expert suddenly suggested.
Clearly, these Tribulation Birth experts had developed a greedy desire for Ye Yunfei’s movement technique.
Just at that moment…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three figures, billowing with world-submerging Corpse Qi, crashed through space in the distance, surging forward.
Wherever these three figures passed, they released vast amounts of dark Corpse Qi, like endless black oceans instantly flooding large swathes of sky and earth.
“What is that?”
The Tianyou Tomb assassins narrowed their eyes, expressions of wariness appearing on their faces.
“Five Hundred Year Old Corpses! They are the Five Hundred Year Old Corpses of our Corpse World!
Who would have thought that, just to deal with that brat Su Fei, our higher-ups would actually unleash three Five Hundred Year Old Corpses!”
The Corpse World Tribulation Birth experts immediately recognized the origins of the three figures charging from afar. One of them uttered in a tone filled with shock and awe.
