"Forward!
Surround that boy, don't let him escape!"
A large group of Sword Emperor Pavilion forces appeared, rushing forward from all directions to encircle Ye Yunfei.
Xijian City was originally Sword Emperor Pavilion territory; there were many of their patrols both inside and outside the city walls.
"Ye Yunfei, it really is you!
Well, you actually dare to come to Xijian City. Are you tired of living?!"
A white-robed elder radiating sharp sword energy appeared. His gaze, as sharp as a blade, fixed on Ye Yunfei as he shouted harshly.
Dozens of swordsmen followed beside this white-robed elder, each emanating a powerful aura.
"City Lord Liu is here!"
"They say City Lord Liu possesses the cultivation of late-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm. Among Sword Emperor Pavilion's dozens of ordinary elders, he ranks near the top. He's been garrisoning Xijian City for years, and his reputation is far-reaching!"
...
Those watching the spectacle began to murmur and discuss upon seeing this white-robed elder.
"Ye Yunfei, since you've come today, don't think about leaving!
I advise you to obediently surrender. If you wait for us to make a move, you'll inevitably suffer some physical torment!"
City Lord Liu stared coldly at Ye Yunfei as he spoke.
He had heard of Ye Yunfei's exploits, but he felt that a junior, no matter how strong, had his limits.
"With characters like you, you think you can make me suffer physical torment?"
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze over the surrounding Sword Emperor Pavilion forces, a disdainful expression on his face.
"City Lord, let me capture this ignorant, insolent brat!"
A middle-aged man beside City Lord Liu, seeing Ye Yunfei's expression, couldn't suppress his anger. He took a step forward and shouted loudly.
"Be careful. This kid managed to cause so much trouble; he must have some ability."
City Lord Liu nodded.
"Hmph!
A green, wet-behind-the-ears brat! I don't believe he has any real capability!"
The middle-aged man sneered, drew a longsword, activated his movement technique, and charged towards Ye Yunfei.
This middle-aged man was a mid-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm expert!
Moreover, his swordsmanship talent was very high. Even cross-level battles against late-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm opponents weren't a problem for him.
Clang! Clang!...
The middle-aged man suddenly thrust his sword forward. Thousands upon thousands of sharp sword lights materialized, like a rain of swords, densely flooding towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands behind his back, showing no intention to dodge.
"What's going on?
Ye Yunfei actually isn't dodging?"
"Could he be scared stupid?"
"It seems the rumors are wrong. This kid's combat prowess isn't worth mentioning!"
...
Seeing Ye Yunfei standing there motionless, the crowd couldn't help but discuss animatedly.
"Kid, you're dead!"
The middle-aged man held his sword, its tip already pointing at Ye Yunfei's chest. Seeing that Ye Yunfei hadn't moved at all, he thought Ye Yunfei had already been suppressed by his energy pressure. A triumphant smile appeared on his face.
Clang!
The next moment, the sword struck Ye Yunfei's chest, emitting a crisp sound of metal impact and sending a shower of dazzling sparks flying.
"How... how is this possible?"
The triumphant expression on the middle-aged man's face instantly froze, replaced by one of disbelief.
Because he discovered that apart from leaving a shallow scratch on Ye Yunfei's chest, his sword thrust had done nothing.
Swipe!
At this moment, a golden longsword swept horizontally through the air. The middle-aged man was scared out of his wits. He reacted and desperately tried to retreat and dodge, but it was too late. The golden sword split his head in two.
'This Transform Body into Artifact secret art is really quite good,' Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
"What happened?
Ye Yunfei was struck head-on by a sword. Why is he completely unharmed?"
Everyone was stunned, unable to believe it.
"This kid is indeed strange!
Everyone, be careful!"
City Lord Liu's expression finally turned grave. He realized he had underestimated Ye Yunfei earlier.
"Being careful is useless."
Ye Yunfei said indifferently, taking step by step towards the Sword Emperor Pavilion forces.
Ye Yunfei's speed seemed slow, but in reality, it contained a profound mastery of Spatial Laws. Each step shortened the spatial distance, making his approach extremely swift.
Thump! Thump!...
With each step Ye Yunfei took, he casually killed one person.
Ye Yunfei now had the strength of late-stage World Fusion Realm. Relying purely on his spiritual energy intensity, he could already battle Heavenly Boundary Realm experts. His combat experience and skills went without saying. These ordinary Sword Emperor Pavilion forces were only fit to be instantly killed before Ye Yunfei!
"Attack together!"
City Lord Liu felt both shock and fury, knowing he had encountered a truly powerful opponent. With a loud shout, he drew his sword and charged towards Ye Yunfei at the head of his men.
The other Sword Emperor Pavilion experts beside City Lord Liu all also surrounded and attacked Ye Yunfei.
Clang! Clang!...
One sword after another, gleaming with cold light, constantly struck Ye Yunfei's body, eliciting strings of sparks as if striking iron.
Ye Yunfei didn't pay them any mind at all. Step by step, he killed one person after another. Anyone targeted by Ye Yunfei couldn't escape death!
"Kid, stop!"
City Lord Liu roared angrily, charging in front of Ye Yunfei and thrusting his sword.
Clang!
Ye Yunfei casually swung his sword, deflecting City Lord Liu's attack.
Clang! Clang!...
City Lord Liu's swordsmanship was exceptionally skillful. In his fury, his sword attacked continuously, as dense as a string of pearls.
Ye Yunfei, while fending off City Lord Liu's assault, continued killing the other Sword Emperor Pavilion personnel, still taking one life with each step.
"Damn it!"
City Lord Liu and the other Sword Emperor Pavilion experts were furious to the extreme but utterly helpless.
"This is too terrifying!"
The other spectators watching from the sidelines all felt a chill run down their spines.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei seemed like a murderous demon who had walked out from the depths of hell, slaughtering continuously, leaving a trail of bloody, mutilated corpses behind him.
Shortly after, almost all of the Sword Emperor Pavilion forces in Xijian City had been exterminated!
"Now it's your turn."
Ye Yunfei slowly turned around, looking at City Lord Liu and the few remaining Sword Emperor Pavilion experts, speaking coldly.
"Retreat!
We're going back to headquarters!"
City Lord Liu looked at the murderous aura radiating from Ye Yunfei and was utterly terrified. He had no fighting spirit left."Run now? Too late."
Ye Yunfei let out a cold laugh.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei utilized the Spatial Teleportation Art, catching up to City Lord Liu in a single step. A fist shot out.
After cultivating the Transform Body into Artifact secret art, Ye Yunfei's physical body had not only become harder but also increased in strength. He now possessed the power of three thousand jiao!
A single punch caused the space in front of his fist to continuously collapse, unleashing rolling energy hurricanes—extremely terrifying.
"Kid, I'll fight you to the death!"
City Lord Liu swung his sword back, clashing with Ye Yunfei's fist.
Clang!
Combined with his terrifying fist strength, Ye Yunfei's incredibly hard fist directly shattered City Lord Liu's longsword. He immediately followed with another punch, which happened to trigger the ten-fold power of the Tenfold Demon Forbidden Fist. The blow instantly blasted City Lord Liu apart, killing him on the spot.
Possessing a steel-hard body allowed Ye Yunfei to easily battle late-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm experts!
Next, Ye Yunfei utilized the Spatial Teleportation Art to pursue and kill the other Sword Emperor Pavilion experts. Moments later, they were all slain, with not a single one escaping.
While killing, Ye Yunfei had already sent the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hu Miao to plunder the valuables of Xijian City. They completely emptied all of Sword Emperor Pavilion's assets within the city.
"I'm going to destroy Xijian City now. Those who don't want to die, leave immediately."
Finally, Ye Yunfei stood in the sky above Xijian City, speaking indifferently. His rolling sound waves were like thunderclaps, shaking the entire city.
"Run!"
The inhabitants of the city, having just witnessed Ye Yunfei ruthlessly slaughter all the Sword Emperor Pavilion forces, and now hearing such words, dared not linger. They scrambled desperately to flee outside the city walls. In moments, Xijian City became a ghost town.
Ye Yunfei employed a body enhancement technique, enlarging his right foot like a golden mountain descending from the sky. After stomping several times, he completely crushed Xijian City, reducing it to ruins.
"Next target: destroy Tianjian City."
Ye Yunfei rushed towards another nearby city.
There were several cities near Sword Emperor Pavilion headquarters named with the character for 'sword.' These cities were all under Sword Emperor Pavilion's control!
Half a day later, Ye Yunfei arrived at Tianjian City. He fought his way in from outside the city walls, slaughtering any Sword Emperor Pavilion forces he encountered without exception!
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, as long as he didn't encounter a Half-Emperor expert, he was invincible!
Half an hour later, all of Sword Emperor Pavilion's forces within Tianjian City were completely wiped out!
Ye Yunfei soared into the sky and charged towards another city.
