At this moment, Ye Yunfei had already emerged from Tianying Hall. His Soul Power immediately surged out to sense his surroundings.
Five thousand meters!
Ye Yunfei discovered that the current range of his Soul Power perception had reached five thousand meters.
After refining over a thousand Soul Stones, his Soul Power had increased fivefold compared to before!
Boom…
At this moment, countless martial artists were launching full-scale assaults around the mountain where Tianying Hall stood, locked in fierce battles with the Shadow Beasts.
However, the number of Shadow Beasts was far greater—they were like vast, gray oceans guarding the mountain peak, blocking the waves of attacks from the human martial artists.
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze across the scene and found, to his surprise, over a hundred Shadow Beast Kings.
Each of these Shadow Beast Kings possessed formidable combat power and were engaging the young prodigies head-on.
"These people actually want to storm Tianying Hall? That's sheer wishful thinking.
Tianying Wang casually gave me fifteen Shadow Beast Kings, which clearly means there must be many more of them.
And even if these Shadow Beasts are defeated, Tianying Hall still holds a large number of remnant souls from the Tianying Clan. These youngsters would stand absolutely no chance," Ye Yunfei said softly with a laugh as he looked at those frantically attacking the mountain.
"Master, the combat prowess of these Shadow Beast Kings is truly remarkable," Hu Miao, who had appeared by Ye Yunfei's side, remarked.
"These Shadow Beast Kings can easily defeat ordinary practitioners at the Early and even Mid-Saint Realm.
Only a Late-Saint Realm expert could possibly hold their own against them," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"Look! That scoundrel couple has emerged from Tianying Hall!"
The moment Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao showed themselves, someone spotted them and shouted loudly.
Immediately, all eyes turned their way.
After all, in the history of the Eastern Region, these two were so far the only ones who had ever entered and exited Tianying Hall!
"Ye Yunfei!
Trash from the Great Qin Empire!
Get over here now!"
A roar resounded. In the distance, Chen Fan's gaze was locked fiercely on Ye Yunfei.
He had been locked in combat with three Shadow Beast Kings, but the moment he saw Ye Yunfei appear, he immediately retreated and roared.
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei frowned slightly. It seemed his identity had been exposed.
However, he had long been prepared for this. Since his likeness had been captured in portraits and widely circulated, having his identity discovered was only a matter of time.
"Qin An?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze suddenly swept across Qin An, and he instantly understood.
No wonder his identity had been exposed so quickly—it was definitely related to Qin An.
At this moment, Qin An's eyes were also fixed intently on Ye Yunfei, filled with boundless resentment and hatred, yet also gloating satisfaction.
The complete annihilation of the Qin Family in Yuanyue City was a debt he naturally bore day and night. However, he also knew that with his current strength, he was no match for Ye Yunfei. Otherwise, he would have already charged forward to fight Ye Yunfei to the death.
"You punk! A piece of trash from a backwater minor state, and you dare kill my Xiao Clan’s people! You really have the audacity!"
The Xiao Clan genius, Xiao Tianlong, also fixed his eyes on Ye Yunfei as he spoke coldly.
"Ye Yunfei, you dare kill my Chen Clan’s people. That is a capital offense.
Not only you, but the sect and family behind you will also suffer for your crimes!"
Chen Fan stood with his hands clasped behind his back and declared, his tone laced with threat. "However, if you immediately crawl over here, kneel before me, and surrender all the treasures you obtained from Tianying Hall, I might consider only killing you and sparing the sect and family behind you."
"Haha, Chen Fan, you have quite the plan. This trash killed my Xiao Clan’s people as well. The treasures he possesses also rightfully belong to my Xiao Clan!" Xiao Tianlong sneered wildly.
"Humph!
Treasures of this world are meant for those destined to possess them. Do you two clans truly think you can monopolize the treasures of Tianying Hall? Impossible!" Lei Lingzi retorted with a cold laugh.
Not only Lei Lingzi, but all the other young prodigies were also staring greedily at Ye Yunfei.
Everyone believed that since Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao had entered and exited Tianying Hall, most of the treasures collected inside must have fallen into their hands.
In the eyes of the crowd, Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao were now two plump sheep whom everyone wanted to take a bite out of, dividing those treasures among themselves.
At this moment, all the martial artists began to retreat, distancing themselves from the mountain where Tianying Hall stood.
The battle temporarily paused.
The Shadow Beasts remained on guard atop the mountain peak and did not pursue.
"You dare threaten the sect and family behind me?"
Under the watchful gaze of everyone, Ye Yunfei suddenly narrowed his eyes coldly, staring at Chen Fan like a wild beast ready to tear its prey apart.
"Humph!
Ye Yunfei, killing my Chen Clan’s people is a crime warranting punishment of nine clans! Do you truly believe the sect and family behind you can escape?!" Chen Fan sneered and shouted harshly.
Buzz…
The moment his words fell, five streaks of sword light flew out from Ye Yunfei and shot toward him like lightning.
"You punk! You’re courting death!" Chen Fan roared angrily and sent a palm strike forward.
Immediately, vast waves of azure Spiritual Qi surged from his palm, transforming into an azure dragon claw that smashed toward the five streaks of sword light.
As soon as this azure dragon claw appeared, its pervasive energy pressure erupted in all directions. Many martial artists nearby couldn’t withstand it and hastily retreated, feeling a chill invade their bodies.
The monster nurtured by the Chen Clan was indeed worthy of his reputation!
Many sighed inwardly in amazement.
Clang!
A clear, crisp sound rang out.
Five swords flew back and hovered in front of Ye Yunfei.
Chen Fan’s face turned ashen; his right arm was soaked in blood.
Everyone clearly saw five bone-deep sword marks on his right arm, a shocking sight.
How was this possible?!
Everyone was stunned to discover that Chen Fan had actually been wounded!
In just one exchange, this youngster from a remote minor state had actually injured Chen Fan!
"Trash!
Today, I will definitely cut you down!" Chen Fan’s face was twisted with extreme fury. His murderous gaze remained locked on Ye Yunfei as he spat each word out between gritted teeth.
He had been utterly enraged!
Boom…
Then, azure aura violently surged around Chen Fan’s entire body as he released an overwhelming, ocean-like wave of Spiritual Qi.
Bathed in this azure Spiritual Qi, Chen Fan’s hair, beard, and entire body turned azure, as if carved from azure-gold. Surging Spiritual Power churned around him like wind and thunder, causing the terrifying energy pressure to skyrocket and force the surrounding crowd to retreat.
"This is one of the Chen Clan’s inherited arts—the Primordial Azure Aura! The Spiritual Power cultivated by this technique is incredibly condensed, almost tangible!
Rumor has it that at profound levels, one can use Spiritual Power to manifest various weapons, comparable to high-grade Spiritual Treasures!" Many exclaimed in awe as they gazed at the highly condensed azure Spiritual Power Chen Fan had released.
Even Shangguan Feng, hailing from the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land, nodded inwardly in approval.
"Trash! Do you dare to fight?!" Chen Fan roared at Ye Yunfei.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei’s figure abruptly vanished.
In the next instant, he had appeared like a phantom not far in front of Chen Fan.
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Ye Yunfei replied with a cold laugh.
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger, and the Five Elements Spirit Swords shot out together, their sword aura dense and towering toward the heavens.
With the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation unleashed, a terrifying killing intent immediately permeated the space between heaven and earth.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar echoed from within Chen Fan’s body, and then a gigantic azure python materialized behind him, towering dozens of zhang high.
"The Chen Clan’s Devouring Heaven Python Bloodline!" someone immediately exclaimed in shock.
Legends said the Chen Clan of the Eastern Region possessed the bloodline of the ancient Devouring Heaven Python race. Once activated, its power was tremendously terrifying.
Roar!
That gigantic azure python abruptly roared and opened its massive maw as if to swallow heaven and earth, charging toward Ye Yunfei.
