"What? You dare call us dogs?
What kind of upstart are you, barking before us!
Scram!"
Upon hearing Tang Fan's words, Situ Kong'er grew furious and immediately retorted.
As a descendant of the Nimble Hand Sect, he possessed his own pride. Being looked down upon like this was unbearable.
"Insolence!
Young Master Tang is the Third Prince of the Darkness Imperial Dynasty, a noble status beyond your imagination. How could lowly scum like you be mentioned in the same breath!
Apologize immediately, or die!"
The old man was incensed.
Rumble…
A terrifying torrent of energy surged towards Situ Kong'er like an ocean, forcing him back several steps. His face turned pale.
"What?
He's the Third Prince of the Darkness Imperial Dynasty?!"
Situ Kong'er was startled by the old man's words.
The Darkness Imperial Dynasty was one of the superpowers in the Central Divine Land, reputed to be even more powerful than the Corpse World.
"Hmph!
Now you're scared!
For Young Master Tang to call you 'dogs' is actually honoring you!
In truth, before Young Master Tang, you are even lower than dogs!"
The old man said coldly.
"Damn, you think too highly of yourselves!"
Situ Kong'er's face turned ashen with rage.
"After the count of three, leave. If you remain, you die."
Young Master Tang seemed to have lost his patience and spoke indifferently.
"One…"
He began counting.
"Miss, Su Fei, let's go. Just let him count.
He's disgusting to look at!"
Rou'er took Pan Wanjun's hand, turned, and started walking away.
Upon hearing Rou'er's words, a flicker of anger flashed deep in Tang Fan's eyes.
However, he knew that even though Rou'er was nominally just a maid, she was treated like a princess within Longevity Palace. Her status and position were not much lower than Pan Wanjun's, so he dared not make trouble for Rou'er.
"Two.
You insects, leave Miss Pan's side immediately!"
Tang Fan's expression grew uglier as he counted to two.
"Tang Fan, don't push your luck!
Do you really think our Longevity Palace fears your Darkness Imperial Dynasty?!"
Rou'er was furious.
"Young Master Tang, please respect yourself. My affairs are none of your business."
Pan Wanjun also spoke up.
Both Rou'er and Pan Wanjun were quite wary of the old man because he was a powerhouse at the late Mind Star Realm. They weren't sure if Ye Yunfei could defeat him.
Furthermore, aside from this old man, Tang Fan was followed by a group of Darkness Imperial Dynasty guards, each possessing considerable strength.
"Three.
Well done. I gave you a chance to scram, but you failed to appreciate it. Now, even if you want to run, you have no chance.
Attack! Kill all these lowly scum."
Seeing Pan Wanjun and Rou'er so fiercely protecting Ye Yunfei and the others, Tang Fan's heart burned with both rage and jealousy. Despite his status, Pan Wanjun had always been lukewarm towards him, even deliberately avoiding him. Yet, these lowly men before him could stay by Pan Wanjun's side!
How could this not infuriate him!
At Tang Fan's command, his Darkness Imperial Dynasty guards surged forward, surrounding Ye Yunfei and his companions.
Situ Kong'er and the others gathered protectively around Ye Yunfei, ready for battle.
These Darkness Imperial Dynasty forces were very strong, especially the old man.
"Do not dare to attack them!"
In a flash, Rou'er moved to shield Ye Yunfei and the others, shouting anxiously.
Pan Wanjun also stood with Rou'er, blocking the way.
"Young mistresses, there is no need to shield these lowborn fellows. They will only tarnish your reputations.
With your status, only Young Master Tang is worthy of you."
The old man took a step forward and spoke.
Rumble…
A vast, majestic pressure of energy erupted from his body, instantly immobilizing Pan Wanjun and Rou'er.
The energy pressure released by a late Mind Star Realm expert was truly terrifying, far beyond what the two of them could withstand.
They knew that late Mind Star Realm experts were among the most powerful masters within the Central Divine Land.
Even if Longevity Palace's highest-ranking elders came, they would likely be roughly matched with this old man.
"Su Fei, run!
This old man is incredibly powerful; you cannot defeat him!"
Both Pan Wanjun and Rou'er cried out anxiously.
"Attack! Kill them all!"
Seeing Pan Wanjun so protective of Ye Yunfei and the others, Tang Fan's anger intensified, and he roared.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Darkness Imperial Dynasty forces hesitated no longer. They drew their weapons and charged towards Ye Yunfei's group.
"I never intended to provoke a feud with your Darkness Imperial Dynasty, but you insisted on picking a fight.
Well, there's nothing to be done."
Ye Yunfei shook his head helplessly and chuckled coldly.
Though the Darkness Imperial Dynasty was a superpower in the Central Divine Land, Ye Yunfei was not afraid.
As his words fell.
Rumble…
Ye Yunfei swung his palm outwards, unleashing a Body Divine Ability. His hand expanded continuously, transforming into a heaven-propping giant palm in the blink of an eye. It looked like a dark, towering cloud layer, casting a vast shadow over the ground.
Boom!
The descending palm smashed all the charging Darkness Imperial Dynasty forces into the earth. Mud, stone, and a great cloud of dust exploded upwards.
As the dust settled, only a massive palm print remained imprinted on the ground, like a scar upon the earth.
All the Darkness Imperial Dynasty warriors had been flattened into bloody pancakes.
"What just happened?"
Tang Fan and the old man stared at the palm print on the ground, dumbfounded and unable to believe their eyes.
Such terrifying physical strength was something they had never heard of, let alone witnessed.
"Kid, you killed them all with a single palm?"
The old man raised his head, glaring at Ye Yunfei, his eyes boiling with infinite rage.
"Yes.
It's best if you don't provoke me. Scram immediately, or you will regret it."
Ye Yunfei said calmly.
"You are far too arrogant, brat!
You dare to kill members of our Darkness Imperial Dynasty? That is a capital crime!
Elder Chang, execute him immediately!"
Tang Fan roared.
"Die now, you little wretch!"
The old man bellowed, striding towards Ye Yunfei.
Rumble…
A rolling tide of dark energy erupted from his body. Its fearsome aura instantly engulfed the surrounding space, causing the nearby mountain ranges to tremble.
At this moment, everyone noticed layers of black ice forming on the ground around them, and specks of dark ice crystals beginning to appear in the air.
"Be careful! This is the Darkness Imperial Dynasty's 'Heaven-Severing Blackfrost Art'!"
Pan Wanjun's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly warned Ye Yunfei.
The Heaven-Severing Blackfrost Art was a notoriously formidable technique throughout the Central Divine Land.
Swoosh!
A black longsword appeared in the old man's hand, propelled by terrifying energy as it slashed towards Ye Yunfei. The blade-light transformed into arcs of black lightning, crackling down as they rent the void, cleaving a dark fissure in the space between heaven and earth.
However, Ye Yunfei paid it no mind. He directly activated his Body Divine Ability, his body rapidly expanding. In an instant, he transformed into a colossal giant who touched the heavens and stood upon the earth. Like a deity standing tall, he looked down upon the old man.
"Miss, look!
Su Fei is performing a magical trick! Amazing!"
Rou'er, seeing this, immediately clapped her hands and cheered.
"That's no trick. That's the legendary Body Divine Ability, the 'Law Manifestation Body'! It's a fleshly technique that can only manifest when one's physical body has been cultivated to an extreme degree!"
Pan Wanjun, with broader knowledge than Rou'er, explained in astonishment.
