"Big brother!
So this is him, the disciple of Zisheng Zhenjun!
He killed Jia Xian!
And he also killed a disciple of the Tianliang Sacred Land!"
At this moment, Xiao Lian watched Ye Yunfei standing atop the arena platform from afar, her little face full of astonishment.
"It's said he once killed many experts of the World Construction Realm, and all those experts were from major forces across Tianxiong Domain. Someone like Jia Xian is nothing; he was simply bringing ruin upon himself."
The sturdy young man spoke softly.
"Xiao Lian, this person's identity is no small matter. From now on, you are not allowed to speak recklessly. The slightest misstep could bring disaster of annihilation upon our family!"
The sturdy young man grabbed Xiao Lian's arm, forbidding her from saying anything more.
"This guy is so reckless!
Doesn't he see where he is? He actually ran up to challenge Mao Xiaohao right to his face!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei charge onto the platform, Zhu Ziyan couldn't help but feel both angry and anxious, stamping her foot repeatedly.
Ye Yunfei had saved her twice now; she saw him as a benefactor and naturally didn't wish for him to come to harm.
"Why did he come here!
Not good, this is Tianliang City, garrisoned by many experts of the Tianliang Sacred Land. For him to be here, escaping will be extremely difficult!
This guy may be strong, but it turns out he's just a hothead, acting without thinking."
At this time, Zhu Keqi, seeing Ye Yunfei suddenly appear, was also worried sick.
"Boy, it's you!
You are the disciple of Zisheng Zhenjun!"
On the platform at this moment, Mao Xiaohao recognized Ye Yunfei at a glance and shouted sharply.
"Indeed, I am the disciple of Zisheng Zhenjun.
I heard you were looking for me, so I came to find you."
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, calmly looking at Mao Xiaohao.
"Knowing I was looking for you, you dared to face me anyway—what audacity!
But fine, saves me the wasted effort of searching for you!
Boy, today on this very platform, I will kill you and avenge my master!"
Mao Xiaohao stared at Ye Yunfei, his killing intent soaring as he spoke coldly.
"So it is him!
Look, identical, he is indeed the disciple of Zisheng Zhenjun!"
At this time, everyone's gazes fell upon Ye Yunfei, utterly shocked.
They had just been discussing the disciple of Zisheng Zhenjun a moment ago, and in the very next moment, the man himself appeared, appearing openly and brazenly in front of everyone.
"This guy is too arrogant!
He seems to simply not place us in his eyes at all!"
"Exactly!
He knew this was a gathering of us young geniuses today, yet he dared to show his face anyway!"
"Not just us, he simply doesn't put the entire Tianliang Sacred Land in his eyes!
This is Tianliang Sacred Land's territory!"
After confirming Ye Yunfei's identity, all the young people present felt somewhat angry, because they could tell Ye Yunfei truly hadn't put them, the so-called young geniuses, in his regard at all, which was why he dared to appear publicly.
*Swoosh swoosh…*
Upon receiving the news, all the experts of the Tianliang Sacred Land within Tianliang City rushed over, charging into the gathering place and taking up positions all around. Powerful surges of Soul Power locked onto Ye Yunfei.
Large groups of Tianliang Sacred Land personnel also rushed in, tightly encircling the western platform, cutting off all means of escape.
"Trouble now!
The experts and forces of Tianliang Sacred Land have all arrived!
It will be extremely hard for him to escape!"
Seeing this scene, Zhu Ziyan's heart sank, her face turning pale.
"You alone cannot kill me."
On the platform, Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, appearing as if he hadn't even seen the continuously arriving Tianliang Sacred Land experts and forces, and spoke indifferently.
"Hmph!
A mere mid-stage Heaven Life Realm cultivator, akin to an ant in my eyes, dares to spout such nonsense!
Fine!
Today I will publicly kill you!
Let the world know the price of daring to provoke our Tianliang Sacred Land!"
Mao Xiaohao took step after step towards Ye Yunfei, saying with a cold laugh.
*Boom…*
With each step forward, his aura rose a level, like a ferocious beast about to burst from its cage, ready to devour its prey.
Ye Yunfei, on the other hand, stood calmly in place, hands still behind his back, unmoving and utterly composed.
*Whoosh!*
Suddenly, Mao Xiaohao opened his mouth and sprayed out a boundless expanse of violet energy that transformed into countless brilliant and dazzling violet rays—like small, sharp violet swords with gleaming, chilling edges.
*Swoosh!*
Mao Xiaohao pointed a finger, and the dense mass of violet swords in front of him shot towards Ye Yunfei like arrows from strong bows and heavy crossbows. As each violet sword flew rapidly through the air, it continuously absorbed energy and laws from the surrounding heaven and earth, growing increasingly powerful. By the end, each violet sword had lengthened to several meters, its power multiplied over tenfold!
"This is the Violet Profound True Qi of Tianliang Sacred Land!
The Violet Profound Art of Tianliang Sacred Land focuses on cultivating a single breath of the Violet Qi from the East, storing it in the dantian, nurtured by one's own spiritual power, Soul Power, and Origin Essence Blood. Unleashing it in battle yields immense power.
Senior Brother Mao is using Violet Profound True Qi at the early-stage World Fusion Realm; the power is terrifying!"
Someone exclaimed in amazement.
Wherever the violet longswords passed, space was instantly sliced open as if it were smooth tofu.
Ye Yunfei threw out a punch. His physical strength surged forth as he executed the Dark Devil Fist from the True Demon God-Slaying Fist. A black hole formed on his fist, instantly swallowing all the violet swords in the sky, effortlessly neutralizing Mao Xiaohao's attack.
"How is that possible!
That guy seems to be only at the Heaven Life Realm. He's two whole major realms below Senior Brother Mao. How could he casually neutralize Senior Brother Mao's attack with a single punch?"
Witnessing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Boy, today I will definitely kill you to avenge my master!"
Mao Xiaohao gave a fierce shout. A white long spear appeared in his hand and stabbed towards Ye Yunfei like... a white rainbow flashed between heaven and earth, spanning dozens of *zhang* across the sky, its vast spear energy rolling forth like raging waves.
*Rumble…*
As Mao Xiaohao struck, the energy and laws present in the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to find their pillar, rushing towards Mao Xiaohao's body like a hurricane, pouring into him.
This caused Mao Xiaohao's aura to climb steadily.
"That's the Origin Dao Physique!
It's said that activating the Origin Dao Physique during battle allows one to effortlessly absorb the surrounding heaven and earth's energy and laws for their own use, never having to worry about energy depletion during combat."
Someone cried out in shock.
Everyone looked at Mao Xiaohao with envious eyes.
*Boom!*
Between heaven and earth, a white long spear, carrying terrifyingly immense energy, stabbed towards Ye Yunfei. As it advanced, this white spear continuously enlarged, like a white divine dragon descending from the Nine Heavens, overflowing with murderous intent.
Wherever its tip pointed, space-time continuously disintegrated.
The space where Ye Yunfei stood was actually compressed inward, forming a huge concave bowl.
Ye Yunfei was at the very bottom of that bowl.
One could imagine how terrifying the power of Mao Xiaohao's spear strike was!
Ye Yunfei didn't dodge or evade. He threw out a punch, executing the Tenfold Demon Forbidden Fist from the True Demon God-Slaying Fist.
The sheer terror of executing this move with Ye Yunfei's current physical strength, nearing two thousand *Jiao*, was immense.
Faintly, an ancient Demon God that seemed to hail from a primal age of antiquity appeared behind Ye Yunfei, holding up the sky as it swung a massive fist the size of a divine mountain down from the firmament, slowly aiming at Mao Xiaohao.
At this moment, this entire stretch of heaven and earth seemed to be suppressed by Ye Yunfei's single fist.
Any true expert from the Devil Realm's True Devil Race seeing this fist would also marvel; it vividly showcased the true divine essence of the True Demon God-Slaying Fist.
All the young geniuses around the arena found themselves unable to move, chills running down their spines.
*Clang!*
Ye Yunfei's fist collided with the tip of the white spear with a deafening crash.
The Tenfold Demon Forbidden Fist was one of the most powerful moves in the True Demon God-Slaying Fist. Even without triggering the tenfold amplification, its power was formidable.
With a *bang*, Mao Xiaohao was sent flying backward by Ye Yunfei's punch, crashing out over a thousand meters before barely stabilizing his stance, his face pale, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he gasped for breath.
"Not bad, for an Origin Dao Physique. After taking my punch, you're only lightly wounded."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
In reality, although Mao Xiaohao was a young genius, he was nothing much in Ye Yunfei's eyes.
Although the Origin Dao Physique was a relatively powerful constitution, compared to Ye Yunfei's Chaos God Vein, it fell far short.
In terms of strength, talent, physique, combat experience and willpower, or the superiority of techniques and martial arts, he couldn't compare to Ye Yunfei. So how could he possibly be Ye Yunfei's match?
"How is that possible?
Mao Xiaohao was defeated with a single move!"
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Mao Xiaohao's spear strike moments ago had caused a sensation throughout the assembly, but in the blink of an eye, he was wounded by his opponent's single punch.
"His combat power is that strong?
No wonder he's been so calm since arriving here."
The beautiful eyes of the two young women, Zhu Keqi and Zhu Ziyan, stared at Ye Yunfei, full of shock.
"Big brother, did you see? He actually wounded Mao Xiaohao!"
From afar, Xiao Lian was also utterly amazed and cried out.
For some reason, seeing Ye Yunfei victorious made Xiao Lian feel a bit happy.
"Xiao Lian, silence!"
The sturdy young man next to her was greatly alarmed. He immediately covered his sister's mouth.
This place was swarming with people from the Tianliang Sacred Land. If Xiao Lian's excited cries drew the attention of Tianliang Sacred Land personnel, that would spell serious trouble.
"Boy, I'll kill you!"
Being forced back by his opponent's single punch in full view of the public filled Mao Xiaohao with shame. The gazes from the surrounding crowd made him feel as if everyone was laughing at him. Enraged by his own humiliation, he gave an angry roar, raised his long spear, and charged again at Ye Yunfei.
*Whoosh…*
Bursts of blazing flame suddenly erupted from his body; he began burning his Origin Essence Blood, preparing for a desperate fight.
"Nothing impressive.
Die."
Ye Yunfei swept a glance at Mao Xiaohao and spoke indifferently.
The next moment.
A white flower bud abruptly appeared within Mao Xiaohao's soul sea, slowly blossoming and continuously devouring his Soul Power and soul body.
"What is this!"
Mao Xiaohao's expression drastically changed, panicking as he retreated repeatedly.
*ROAR!*
Nine Divine Beasts burst out simultaneously from behind Ye Yunfei, all pouncing towards Mao Xiaohao to kill him.
These Nine Divine Beasts now possessed combat power capable of easily fighting mid-stage World Fusion Realm cultivators. Now, surrounding Mao Xiaohao together, he had no chance to fight back.
With just one move, the nine beasts had subdued him completely, pinning his arms and legs and lifting him up.
"Not good, quickly save Xiaohao!"
"Boy, stop!
Release Xiaohao immediately!
Otherwise, our Tianliang Sacred Land and you shall be locked in a battle of mutual annihilation!"
How could the Tianliang Sacred Land experts stationed around the platform have anticipated that Mao Xiaohao would be subdued with a single move? They were all struck with horror, wanting to charge forward to rescue him.
"Kill him."
Ye Yunfei said softly.
*Poof!*
The Nine Divine Beasts exerted force simultaneously, directly tearing Mao Xiaohao into pieces, destroying both body and soul.
The Blood Clan clone appeared, instantly swallowing every last drop of Mao Xiaohao's Origin Essence Blood.
"NO!"
All the Tianliang Sacred Land experts around let out furious roars of indignation.
"Mao Xiaohao… is dead?"
All the young geniuses who came to attend the gathering stood dumbfounded, unable to believe that Mao Xiaohao, who was basking in glory just moments ago, had been killed so quickly.
