"The Heavenly God Palace and Sword Emperor Pavilion have come again.
Fortunately, the Half-Emperor experts from these two factions haven't arrived yet," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"As long as no Half-Emperors have come, there's nothing to fear," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Everyone, good news! Elder Qiu has arrived!" the golden-shirted man among the Golden Crow Sect disciples exclaimed with delight, speaking to the others.
"Excellent! Now that Elder Qiu is here, this kid is dead for sure!" The other Golden Crow Sect disciples were all extremely excited.
"Release!"
At that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly stood up. Pointing a finger at the refining cauldron before him, he uttered a soft cry.
Boom…
Five dazzlingly brilliant longswords leaped from the cauldron, transforming into five resplendent sword dragons that soared into the sky. The sound of sword hums, akin to dragon roars, echoed through the heavens.
Rumble…
The five swords hovered and circled high in the sky, causing that expanse of space to tremble and shake. Surging sword energy like a boundless ocean radiated outwards, their momentum terrifying.
The five swords ascended while circling, disappearing into the firmament in a matter of moments.
"What is that?"
At this point, not only the creatures near the Tianhuang Demon Forest, but even beings thousands upon thousands of miles away could see the five longswords deep in the high sky, shocking them to the core.
"What are those? Five Half-Emperor level longswords, and they appear to have been refined as a set—a sword formation. The five swords are interconnected, their auras linked. What a masterful sword-forging technique!"
At a certain location, an old man wreathed in sharp sword light suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the five brilliant swords. After a moment's recognition, he spoke in astonishment.
"It seems these are freshly forged swords! Who could be forging them? If I could obtain these five swords, they would greatly benefit my Sword Dao cultivation!" This old man's eyes burned with fervor.
"Reporting, Elder! We've searched this entire region and found no trace of that brat Ye Yunfei for now!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man arrived before the old man and gave his report.
"Hmm. Immediately contact those searching in other areas, see if they've discovered anything," the old man said.
"I'll go see who's forging those swords."
After a moment's thought, the old man activated his movement technique, heading toward the distant location where the five swords had soared into the sky.
In another location.
"Who would have thought there was such a weapons forging master within Feixian Continent? Excellent. Let's go meet him."
The Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace had also seen the five swords soaring through the high sky. He spoke to himself.
Within the Tianhuang Demon Forest.
"Ye Yunfei is over there! He was the one who forged those five swords that shot into the sky just now!"
At this time, both the Sword Emperor Pavilion and Heavenly God Palace personnel saw Ye Yunfei, utterly astonished.
"It appears all five swords are at the Half-Emperor level! We must seize them! Move! Surround Ye Yunfei!"
An old man waved his hand, taking the lead as he rushed toward Ye Yunfei.
Dozens of Sword Emperor Pavilion personnel behind him followed suit, charging over.
"Move!"
An old man from the Heavenly God Palace also led a group of men, charging from another direction.
"Look! Elder Qiu and his group have arrived!"
Suddenly, a Golden Crow Sect disciple pointed at the distant horizon and cried out in delight.
They saw an old man leading several dozen people speeding over, reaching the area in moments.
The Golden Crow Sect disciples hurried forward to meet them.
"Elder Qiu, it's that kid! The large cauldron in front of him seems to have the aura of a rare flame! We received news that the Tianhuang Demon Forest likely holds the legendary Primordial Yellow Demon Fire, so we rushed here immediately, only to find that brat got to it first and took it away!" The golden-shirted man spoke to the elder.
"Rest assured. With me here, no one can take the Primordial Yellow Demon Fire!" The elder addressed as Elder Qiu nodded.
"Who are they?"
At this time, Elder Qiu of the Golden Crow Sect noticed the Sword Emperor Pavilion and Heavenly God Palace personnel, a look of caution appearing on his face.
"Ye Yunfei, let's see where you can escape to this time!"
Now, the Sword Emperor Pavilion and Heavenly God Palace forces had completely surrounded the flat area where Ye Yunfei stood, each one radiating killing intent.
For this operation against Ye Yunfei, both the Sword Emperor Pavilion and Heavenly God Palace had dispatched a large number of Heavenly Boundary Realm experts.
Both factions' Divination Masters had deduced the approximate region where Ye Yunfei was located, but not his precise position. As a result, their forces had split into several groups, searching simultaneously in several nearby regions for any trace of Ye Yunfei.
Those who had come here were only part of each force.
Yet, there were still quite a few Heavenly Boundary Realm experts among them!
Specifically, Sword Emperor Pavilion had eight Heavenly Boundary Realm experts!
Heavenly God Palace had six Heavenly Boundary Realm experts!
Combined, the two factions had a total of fourteen Heavenly Boundary Realm experts surrounding Ye Yunfei, all of whom had locked onto Ye Yunfei's aura and were ready to attack at any moment.
"Be careful. There are many of them!"
Master Xuanlong appeared beside Ye Yunfei. Seeing over a dozen Heavenly Boundary Realm experts surrounding them, he couldn't help but be secretly alarmed, sensing the pressure.
"These fellows? No need to worry," Ye Yunfei replied, standing calmly on the flat ground. He swept his gaze over the Sword Emperor Pavilion and Heavenly God Palace forces, speaking blandly.
"Ye Yunfei, how dare you be so arrogant! You're nothing but a wet-eared brat! Who gave you the right to dismiss us so contemptuously!" a Sword Emperor Pavilion Heavenly Boundary Realm expert roared in anger.
"Heh. 'To make a man perish, the heavens first make him mad.' At such a tender age, you dare oppose our Sword Emperor Pavilion. This brat will die without a proper grave!" another Sword Emperor Pavilion Heavenly Boundary Realm expert sneered.
Whoosh!
The instant he finished speaking, Ye Yunfei executed a Spatial Shift, taking a single step to appear directly in front of him.
"Whether I perish is still unknown, but you will definitely perish before I do," Ye Yunfei retorted with a cold laugh.
"You're courting death, brat!"
The Sword Emperor Pavilion Heavenly Boundary Realm expert was horrified, never expecting Ye Yunfei's movement technique to be so terrifying. A longsword appeared in his hand, and he thrust it towards Ye Yunfei.
Boom…
Torrential sword energy diffused outward like an ocean. The terrifying sword energy carved one pitch-black spatial rift after another in this space.
Yet Ye Yunfei didn't dodge or evade, allowing the longsword to strike directly at his chest.
Clang!
The sword seemed to have struck a copper wall and an iron fortress, sending dazzling sparks flying in all directions.
"How is this possible? Brat, is your body forged from solid gold?"
The Sword Emperor Pavilion expert was flabbergasted. He discovered his thrust had only pierced a wound roughly one inch deep into Ye Yunfei's chest, and not a single drop of blood flowed out. Within that wound, there was only a lustrous golden color.
"You pierced me with one sword; I strike you with one fist," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei punched forward, an overwhelming tide of fist force crushing its way ahead.
"You…"
Feeling the terrifying fist force, the Sword Emperor Pavilion expert couldn't help but be alarmed and swiftly retreated. Though his swordsmanship was formidable, his unarmed combat skills were quite ordinary.
Boom…
Just as this Sword Emperor Pavilion expert was retreating, five dazzling sword dragons suddenly descended from the sky, forming a profound Sword Formation as they came to shred and slaughter the expert.
With the vast, ocean-like terrifying sword energy behind him, the Sword Emperor Pavilion expert found there was nowhere left to retreat. Gritting his teeth, he threw a punch back at Ye Yunfei.
The fists of both sides collided.
"How is this possible? Brat, how can your flesh be so hard? How can your strength be so immense!" the Sword Emperor Pavilion expert screamed in terror.
Pfft…
His arm directly exploded, then half his body followed suit, shattering to pieces.
Generally speaking, sword cultivators only focused on cultivating the Sword Dao. When it came to tempering the physical body, they could not even be compared to Ye Yunfei—the gap was simply too vast.
Although this Sword Emperor Pavilion expert possessed mid Heavenly Boundary Realm strength, he was still punched to the point of having half his body shattered by Ye Yunfei's fist.
Pfft…
The Five Elements Spirit Swords swept through, thoroughly shredding this Sword Emperor Pavilion expert.
In less than two moves, a Heavenly Boundary Realm expert had been slain.
"How is this possible?!"
Everyone surrounding the area was stupefied.
Since when did Heavenly Boundary Realm experts become so weak?
