Clang!
Ye Yunfei drew the Netherworld Yin Blade, parrying the dark longsword that stabbed toward his back.
Majestic dark runes erupted from the blade of the Netherworld Yin Blade, instantly sealing the surrounding space.
Following that, a figure enveloped in a dense, blood-colored fog appeared beside Ye Yunfei.
The Blood Clan Clone!
The moment it appeared, the Blood Clan Clone unleashed the Blood Control Art!
"How is this possible!"
A panicked cry rang out from behind the dark longsword. Then, a Tianyou Tomb assassin emerged from within the void, his face a mask of terror.
At that moment, he felt the blood within his body begin to boil!
During this period, the Blood Clan Clone had absorbed too much of the fundamental blood essence from Tribulation Birth Realm experts. The strength it now possessed was more than enough to deal with most Tribulation Birth Realm masters!
Immediately after, a crimson longsword materialized in the Blood Clan Clone's hand. With one swift slash, it attacked the Tianyou Tomb assassin.
The assassin desperately wanted to use movement techniques to evade the Blood Clan Clone's strike. But all the blood in his body was violently roiling, leaving him feeling weak and limp, his speed much slower than usual.
*Chh.* The assassin was cleaved in two by the Blood Clan Clone's longsword.
"Not bad."
Ye Yunfei, seeing the combat prowess the Blood Clan Clone displayed, nodded in satisfaction.
The Blood Clan Clone's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds recently. It could now easily battle ordinary Tribulation Birth Realm masters!
*Hiss, hiss...*
The next moment, more than a dozen dark longswords suddenly appeared, stabbing toward Ye Yunfei from different angles.
*Clang! Clang!...*
Before Ye Yunfei could even react, one of the black longswords suddenly reversed direction and began clashing continuously with the others, blocking their attacks entirely.
"Well done, Senior Brother Situ Kong'er!"
Ye Yunfei said with a laugh.
Only now did Ye Yunfei realize that Situ Kong'er had earlier transformed into one of the Tianyou Tomb assassins!
"Nine Heavens, Ten Earths — Tianyou Tomb Sealing Art!"
Ye Yunfei raised the Netherworld Yin Blade and unleashed this forbidden secret art.
Immediately, the surrounding space became saturated with black runes, like a plague of locusts, dense and impenetrable, filling the entire area.
All the Tianyou Tomb assassins in the vicinity felt their bodies suddenly restrained by a terrifying energy!
It was important to note that, during their time in the Land of Life and Death, the Netherworld Yin Blade had absorbed all the corpse-qi energy from every Corpse-Nourishing Pool in the Corpse World.
Those Corpse-Nourishing Pools represented one of the Corpse World's foundational strengths, painstakingly built over countless years and with immense resources.
Having absorbed all that corpse-qi energy, the Netherworld Yin Blade had undergone a shocking qualitative transformation!
Its current power made dealing with Tribulation Birth Realm masters a simple affair!
With the surrounding assassins immobilized, the Blood Clan Clone raised its crimson longsword. Cutting through them like a hot knife through butter, it slew seven or eight in the blink of an eye.
Naturally, while beheading these assassins, the Blood Clan Clone continually devoured their fundamental blood essence.
Meanwhile, Situ Kong'er, who had transformed into another assassin, remained hidden in the void, constantly launching sneak attacks and eliminating several Tianyou Tomb assassins.
And so, in a matter of moments, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er had joined forces to kill over a dozen Tianyou Tomb assassins!
"Su Fei, you truly are a monster!
To possess such strength at such a young age, few of the younger generation in the Central Divine Land can stand comparison with you. But you should never—absolutely never—have provoked our Corpse World.
The power and depth of our Corpse World are far greater than you imagine. Crossing our Corpse World will bring you nothing but ill fortune!"
Elder Yin's sharp gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as he spoke in a heavy tone.
Despite his deep-seated hatred, he couldn't help but admit in his heart that this young man before him was indeed an extraordinary monster!
"Su Fei, you should never have provoked the Corpse World, nor our Tianyou Tomb!
Our Tianyou Tomb has stood in the Central Divine Land for countless millennia, and never before has a junior dared to challenge us like this!
You are the first!
And you must pay the price!"
An elderly man, his entire body radiating sharp killing intent, emerged from the void, glaring furiously at Ye Yunfei.
This elder was a master from Tianyou Tomb!
A Mind Star Realm expert!
Having just witnessed the dozen Tribulation Birth Realm assassins he'd brought along being slaughtered by Ye Yunfei, his heart now brimmed with seething hatred.
"Elder Yin, let's attack. No need to waste any more words with him!"
The Tianyou Tomb elder spoke grimly.
"Agreed. Let us move.
Tribulation Birth Realm practitioners likely can't handle this brat anymore. We'll have to take action ourselves."
Elder Yin nodded.
As soon as his words fell.
Including Elder Yin and the Tianyou Tomb elder who had just spoken, six elderly figures stepped forward toward Ye Yunfei.
All six possessed early-stage Mind Star Realm strength.
Sending out six early Mind Star Realm experts to deal with a junior—if news of this spread, it would surely cause an uproar across the entire Central Divine Land.
"Senior Brother Ye, these six old guys are formidable."
Situ Kong'er, currently hidden somewhere within the void (who knows what he had transformed into this time), transmitted his voice into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"No matter. I've been wanting to test just how powerful these Mind Star Realm experts really are."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Recently, Ye Yunfei's strength had seen substantial improvements in three key areas:
his Blood Clan Clone, the Netherworld Yin Blade, and his Soul Power energy!
He had been looking for an opportunity to test whether his current overall combat power could contend with Mind Star Realm masters.
Of course, even if he couldn't win, Ye Yunfei felt no fear.
Having already cultivated the Greenwood Emperor Body to the Transcendence stage, harming Ye Yunfei—let alone killing him—was an extremely difficult feat for anyone!
"Six Mind Star Realm old-timers. It seems the Corpse World and Tianyou Tomb think quite highly of me."
Facing the six Mind Star Realm experts, Ye Yunfei showed no trace of fear. Grasping the Netherworld Yin Blade, he strode forward to meet them.
The Blood Clan Clone stayed close to Ye Yunfei's side, wreathed in roiling blood mist, the pungent scent of blood rising to the heavens.
"I never imagined there would come a day when six Mind Star Realm experts would join forces to deal with a junior.
Su Fei, I must concede, you truly are monstrous!"
Elder Yin advanced step by step toward Ye Yunfei, sighing lightly as he spoke.
"It's nothing. The world is never short on geniuses. What it truly lacks are geniuses who manage to grow to maturity.
Strangling a genius today… is a joyous occasion."
The Tianyou Tomb elder who had spoken earlier said with a cold laugh.
Soon, the two parties had closed in on each other.
"Senior Brother Ye, I'm currently a cloud, right beside you.
I'll step in to help when necessary."
At that moment, Situ Kong'er's voice again sounded in Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
So, Situ Kong'er had turned into a cloud.
"Brother Situ, your Hand Sect's Seventy-Two Transformations Divine Ability truly is marvelous."
Ye Yunfei chuckled.
