"Be slain!"
Ye Yunfei hand-sealed a technique, pointed at the massive azure python, and lightly commanded.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With Ye Yunfei's shout, the Five Elements Spirit Swords emitted thunderous roars this very moment, peals of thunder that pierced the sky, carrying the might to shake mountains and rivers.
The five long swords simultaneously struck that giant serpent, piercing straight through its form.
Roar!
The azure serpent let out a mournful hiss, instantly turning much more ethereal and illusory.
In Ye Yunfei's eyes, the Devouring Heaven Python Bloodline that Chen Fan had unleashed was pitifully thin and not worth mentioning.
While the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was a set of sword formations Ye Yunfei had specifically collected, far more advanced and ingenious than any technique or martial skill Chen Fan could wield.
"How is this possible!"
Chen Fan retreated several steps, utterly shocked and furious.
Swoosh!
A figure, without any warning, abruptly appeared right in front of him.
Swish!
Chen Fan only felt a patch of coldness at his throat—a sharp, pointed sword was already pressed against his larynx.
"You..."
Chen Fan stared at the Ye Yunfei standing before him as if seeing a ghost.
Ye Yunfei's movement speed was far too fast.
Too fast for him to see clearly!
Even more so, impossible to react to!
Not only Chen Fan failed to see clearly, but no one in the surrounding area saw exactly how Ye Yunfei had appeared before Chen Fan.
A moment ago, the onlookers had only vaguely sensed a figure flashing past, and the next moment, they saw Ye Yunfei already standing before Chen Fan, holding a sword against his throat.
How is this possible?!
Everyone around, including all those young prodigies, found it incredible, their gazes fixed on Ye Yunfei with shock.
"The Heavenly Shadow Robe increases my speed tenfold. Coupled with the Swift Gale Steps, the effect is truly excellent," Ye Yunfei nodded inwardly, feeling satisfied.
"You just threatened my sect and family?"
Ye Yunfei's tone was bone-chillingly cold.
"Ye Yunfei, what do you think you're doing! I'm from the Chen Clan! My grandfather is the Great Elder of the Chen Clan! How dare you lay a hand on me..." Chen Fan, ashamed and furious, spat out harsh words.
Sssst!
Before his words finished, Ye Yunfei pushed his sword forward slightly. The tip pierced half an inch in, and blood immediately welled up.
Chen Fan's face filled with terror. Sensing an aura of death, he didn't dare utter another syllable.
"Enough! Ye Yunfei, do not bring ruin upon yourself!"
Suddenly, a sharp reprimand rang out.
"Hm?"
Ye Yunfei tilted his head to look.
A man with a feathered crown and purple robes stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at Ye Yunfei with a look of superiority.
"I am Shangguan Feng, a Core Disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land. I order you to release Chen Fan immediately. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences," Shangguan Feng said coldly.
Chen Fan was the grandson of the Chen Clan's Great Elder, holding a high status within the clan. So, Shangguan Feng didn't mind stepping in to help, seeing it as a way to forge a connection.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to order me? Is a Core Disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land all that impressive?" Ye Yunfei looked at Shangguan Feng and suddenly spoke lightly.
This kid simply has no regard for heaven and earth!
Once Ye Yunfei spoke, nearly everyone around scoffed in derision.
In the Eastern Region, the three Sacred Lands wielded the strongest power.
Even the five great clans and the nine great sects must bow their heads before the three Sacred Lands.
In truth, the three Sacred Lands ruled the Eastern Region!
Core disciples of the three Sacred Lands traveled through the Eastern Region; wherever they went, they were akin to imperial envoys in the mortal world—lofty and superior, looked up to by all.
Chen Fan of the Chen Clan, Xiao Tianlong of the Xiao Clan, Luo Qingwu of the Luo Clan, Lei Lingzi of the Lei Clan, Huang Yitian of the Huang Clan, Ximen Yijian of the Famous Sword Villa, Zhang Cang, the Holy Son of the Yin Yang Sect... these were the core talents of the five great clans and the nine great sects.
Yet before Shangguan Feng, they all ranked lower.
Now, someone actually dared to question Shangguan Feng's seniority! This was nothing short of challenging the authority of the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land!
"Brat, I'll give you one last chance. Release Chen Fan immediately and then offer an apology. Otherwise, I will personally ensure you are pursued to the bitter end!"
At this moment, Shangguan Feng's gaze grew ice-cold to the extreme.
"Ye Yunfei, let go! Even if you don't think of yourself, think of your sect and family behind you! If you dare defy Senior Brother Shangguan Feng's orders, he only needs a word, and your sect and family will be reduced to ashes!"
Having seen Shangguan Feng step forward to speak for him, Chen Fan regained some courage and shouted at Ye Yunfei.
"Heh. And here I thought you'd have learned better than to threaten me with my sect and family at a time like this." Ye Yunfei couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
Sssst!
The sword in Ye Yunfei's hand thrust deeper, stabbing deep into Chen Fan's throat. Blood spurted violently.
"Guh..."
Chen Fan's body stiffened. Fear reached its peak in his eyes.
Then, his gaze gradually began to scatter as his life force faded away.
Following that, with a thud, his body dropped towards the ground below.
All the surrounding onlookers stared dumbfounded, finding it somewhat hard to believe the scene before their eyes.
Chen Fan, renowned for so long and of formidable prestige, had been slain just like that!
"Yet kill him I did. If you think you can do something about it, try and bite me," Ye Yunfei looked at Shangguan Feng and flashed a toothy grin.
In truth, Ye Yunfei knew that since he had killed members of the Chen Clan and humiliated Chen Fan publicly, even if he let Chen Fan go now, Chen Fan would surely launch a fanatical retaliation later.
Might as well end him with one sword right now—far less troublesome.
"Outrageous!"
Shangguan Feng's face flushed crimson with anger, trembling all over.
Clang...
The void sang with the hum of a sword as a long blade soared into the sky, emanating a dense aura of killing intent.
This long sword was a magic treasure at the True Artifact level!
Shangguan Feng waved his hand, grasping the sword.
With the sword in hand, his aura turned sharp and piercing. His eyes were like sharp blades, giving people a stinging sensation that felt like their skin was being cut.
"Kid, today, you will surely die!"
Shangguan Feng fixed his sharp gaze on Ye Yunfei, enunciating each word.
The moment his words fell...
Swish! Swish! Swish!...
Incessant streams of sword energy, each the thickness of a finger, kept slicing out from his body, spreading in all directions like schools of deep-sea fish.
In the blink of an eye.
The area within a radius of ten zhang was entirely covered under the domain of his sword energy!
Now, Shangguan Feng stood proud with sword in hand.
The sword's might surged to the heavens.
The man was the sword.
The sword was the man.
They merged into one inseparable unity.
"Sword Momentum! That's the legendary Sword Momentum!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
Above Sword Intent lay Sword Momentum.
The number among the younger generation in the Eastern Region who could cultivate the Sword Dao to the realm of "Momentum" could be counted on one hand.
"That is the Three-Part Sword Momentum!"
Ximen Yijian of Famous Sword Villa stared fixedly at Shangguan Feng and said heavily.
"Die!"
Shangguan Feng grasped the sword with both hands and slashed out.
Instantly, the space within a ten-zhang radius twisted and contorted.
Hum!
A sword radiance so sharp it was indescribable slashed towards Ye Yunfei.
Fierce Sword Momentum, with overwhelming force, swept up from the ground as if propping up the heavens, rising high into the firmament, surging and rolling like a tide!
"You want to play at swords with me?"
Looking at the sword radiance hacking towards him, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but shake his head with a light chuckle.
After all, when Ye Yunfei was the Heavenly Emperor in his past life, he had cultivated in sword techniques to the level of comprehending Sword Laws!
Sword Laws were far, far mightier than Sword Momentum.
Even though, with his current strength, Ye Yunfei definitely could not wield Sword Laws.
Nevertheless, it was still something mere Three-Part Sword Momentum could never compare to.
