"The aura of Xinlan and the others is on him!
He must have a spatial treasure on him; Xinlan and the others are inside it!"
Soon, the patriarch arrived at a corner of the city, pointing at a slick-haired, powdered-face youth not far away and shouting.
This young man was wrapped in intangible sword auras, clearly a sword cultivator.
Together with this youth were several hundred martial artists holding longswords, their gazes sharp as swords, and their auras intimidating.
Evidently, these were all members of the Sword Emperor Pavilion!
"Who are you people!"
Before Ye Yunfei and the others could even get close, over a dozen Sword Emperor Pavilion members, swords in hand, blocked their path, one of them shouting loudly.
"Are you Young Master Jing!"
The Mao Family Patriarch glared at the young man and demanded angrily.
"That's right. I am Young Master Jing. Who are you?
What business do you have with me?"
The young man stared back at the Mao Family Patriarch, asking warily.
Because there were people from many major forces gathered in Zhongyang City, Young Master Jing assumed this group was from one of those other powers.
"I am the Patriarch of the Mao Clan!
Release our Mao Clan's four female disciples immediately!"
The patriarch stepped forward, closing in on Young Master Jing.
The other five clan elders also moved forward simultaneously, converging on Young Master Jing.
"So, you're from the Mao Clan!
You have quite the nerve to dare come here and demand people from me!
Your Mao Clan is as weak as ants to our Sword Emperor Pavilion. Me taking a fancy to your women is a blessing upon your clan. You actually dare to come knocking on my door demanding them back?
You just can't tell what's good for you!"
Young Master Jing was momentarily stunned, then his eyes widened as he snarled fiercely.
"Young Master Jing, something's not right!
Feng Zhe took a group of our Sword Emperor Pavilion men to the Mao Clan to exterminate them. Now, members of the Mao Clan suddenly appear in Zhongyang City demanding people from us. Could it be that the men we sent to the Mao Clan have met with trouble?"
An old man standing beside Young Master Jing suddenly frowned and spoke.
"Old man, speak! What has become of the Sword Emperor Pavilion team sent to destroy your Mao Clan!"
Hearing this, Young Master Jing also narrowed his eyes and barked at the patriarch.
"The Sword Emperor Pavilion men you sent to the Mao Clan, I killed them all, one punch each.
Now it's your turn."
Ye Yunfei suddenly walked forward, sneering coldly.
"Nonsense!
A mere peekaboo at the Astral Realm brat like you, a role as insignificant as an ant, could kill those men of our Sword Emperor Pavilion?"
The old man shouted back.
After all, among the Sword Emperor Pavilion members accompanying Feng Zhe to deal with the Mao Clan, there was even a World Creation Realm expert!
Of course, this old man didn't believe Ye Yunfei's words.
"You'll believe it soon enough."
Ye Yunfei gave a frigid smile.
Boom!
The next moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly drew his Half-Emperor Longsword, unleashing the sword intent of One Sword to Pacify the World, and sent a single stroke slashing toward the Sword Emperor Pavilion group.
Ye Yunfei's attack was far too sudden, the power of the Half-Emperor Longsword terrifying. Moreover, how could those Sword Emperor Pavilion members have anticipated Ye Yunfei's strength to be so dreadful? They had no time to dodge.
Pfft pfft pfft...
A thick sword beam swept across, like cutting through butter, directly slicing a group of Sword Emperor Pavilion members in half at the waist.
And the violent sword auras shredded their soul bodies as well, causing them to perish immediately.
With this one sword strike, he had slain over a hundred people!
Ahhh...
A few other Sword Emperor Pavilion members were slashed and maimed, screaming in pain.
"How is this possible!"
The remaining Sword Emperor Pavilion members all paled in shock, scattering in disarray.
"Die!"
Ye Yunfei launched a second strike, this one aimed at Young Master Jing.
"Save me, someone!"
Sensing the terrifying aura of the Half-Emperor Longsword, Young Master Jing was so frightened his soul nearly leapt from his body. He retreated desperately while crying for help.
This Young Master Jing possessed the early stage of World Creation Realm strength; while his realm wasn't low, long indulged in wine and sensual pleasures, he had neglected cultivation and had even less experience in life-and-death struggles. Faced with Ye Yunfei's terrifying assault, he simply didn't know where to even begin defending.
"Boy, you seek death!
Young Master Jing is the grandson of Elder Jing, our Sword Emperor Pavilion's Supreme Elder! If you dare harm a single hair on his head, you'll die without a grave! Your sect and all your friends and relatives will be implicated, your nine generations exterminated!"
The old man flew into a rage, stepping forward in a single stride. Swinging the longsword in his hand, he delivered a slash, immediately filling the sky with vast, overbearing sword beams shooting toward Ye Yunfei.
This old man was actually a late-stage World Creation Realm expert!
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, defeating a late-stage World Creation Realm expert would still be somewhat of a strain.
As soon as this old man made his move, the Mao Family Patriarch and five clan elders were forced back continuously by the dreadful sword beams.
"I want to kill him, and you can't stop me."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei activated his Time Reversal Technique. Waves of profound temporal runes billowed out, instantly enveloping this area of space.
Including the old man, all the surrounding Sword Emperor Pavilion members were shocked to feel the time on their bodies flowing backward, their movements reversing.
Only the Mao Family Patriarch and the five clan elders were unaffected.
"Now you can die."
Ye Yunfei sent a sword slash toward Young Master Jing.
"Save me!"
Young Master Jing, immobilized by the Time Reversal Technique, couldn't move his body at all. He stared helplessly as the longsword in Ye Yunfei's hand came chopping toward him, his soul fleeing in terror as he cried out.
But at this moment, no one could save him!
Boom!
Right then, a powerful surge of soul force exploded directly from his Soul Sea. Then, the figure of an old man appeared, standing beside Young Master Jing, radiating an aura of terrifying extremity.
"Grandfather, save me!
This brat wants to kill me!
Kill him quickly!"
Seeing this old man, Young Master Jing was overjoyed and immediately yelled.
It turned out this old man was his grandfather, a Supreme Elder of the Sword Emperor Pavilion.
"Boy, you dare try to kill my grandson? Die!"
This Supreme Elder gave a fierce shout, then transformed into a soul light, forcibly charging toward Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, the Supreme Elder had charged into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, rushing toward Ye Yunfei's soul body.
Boom…
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, the Heavenly Emperor Remnant Soul erupted completely, smashing toward that Supreme Elder.
"Ah!
How can this be?
Boy, your Soul Sea actually contains such a terrifying remnant soul!"
The Supreme Elder was so frightened his soul trembled, and he turned to flee.
But it was already too late. He was directly struck and shattered to nothingness by the Heavenly Emperor Remnant Soul.
Of course, this was only a soul power imprint of his.
After shattering this Supreme Elder, Ye Yunfei casually swung his blade, smashing Young Master Jing's skull, scattering both form and spirit.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, retrieving a three-story pagoda from Young Master Jing's body.
This was a spatial treasure.
Ye Yunfei handed this three-story pagoda to the Mao Family Patriarch.
The Mao Family Patriarch soon transported out four beautiful young women from inside.
Fortunately, Young Master Jing had intended to bring these four Mao Clan girls back before officially celebrating the wedding night, so they had avoided disaster.
"Boy, you are so bold! You actually killed Young Master Jing! You deserve death!"
Seeing Young Master Jing beheaded by a single sword, the old man was both shocked and furious.
Rumble rumble…
Right then, Xuanlong Daozhang's palace descended from the sky, directly blasting this old man into a bloody mist. The surrounding Sword Emperor Pavilion members were also completely exterminated, not a single one remaining.
"Alright, all the major faction forces in this city have been killed by me, finally venting a bit of steam. Let's go."
Xuanlong Daozhang's voice sounded from the city, sounding quite pleased.
"Senior, your lethality is a bit terrifying."
Looking at the city full of mangled corpses, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but comment.
"If I couldn't even defeat these guys, I'd have no place here."
Xuanlong Daozhang laughed.
Next, Ye Yunfei teleported Xuanlong Daozhang into the Shadow Tower, then shot into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
A day later, news that all major faction forces in Zhongyang City had been slaughtered by Xuanlong Daozhang rapidly spread throughout the entire Tianxiong Domain.
The world was shocked!
