Boom...
The force of Soul Power unleashed by Ye Yunfei collided head-on with the Soul Force Energy of the six Half-Emperor experts. In an instant, a vast expanse of space collapsed, causing terrifying consequences.
Boundless waves of Soul Power energy swept out in all directions, instantly crushing to death numerous creatures who were too slow to avoid it.
The level of battle between Half-Emperors was simply too terrifying. For ordinary beings, even a slight touch of the aftermath meant annihilation.
"Too horrible, run!"
The creatures gathered around were frightened out of their wits, fleeing for their lives.
Miao Ziqiong and Xiao Fei, however, were under Ye Yunfei's protection and felt nothing at all.
"How is this possible? This brat's Soul Power energy is so potent it can withstand a combined attack from the six of us!"
A Half-Emperor expert of the Jiao Clan exclaimed in shock.
The other five Half-Emperors also found it hard to believe.
An Initial Half-Emperor possessing such formidable Soul Power energy!
"I said if you dared to make a move, I'd kill your grandson immediately. You still moved. My apologies. This grandson of yours must die."
With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Yunfei first teleported his mother and Xiao Fei into the Phantom Shadow Pagoda. Then, holding Miao Haoyu aloft, he spoke with a cold smile.
"Little bastard, how dare you!"
Da Wangye roared in fury.
"Of course I dare."
Ye Yunfei smirked coldly.
"Grandfather, save me! Brat, release me now, or else..."
Feeling the thick killing intent emanating from Ye Yunfei, Miao Haoyu was scared out of his wits and screamed.
Pfft!
Before Miao Haoyu could finish his sentence, Ye Yunfei's palm shook, releasing a fearsome blast of spiritual energy that shattered Miao Haoyu into a bloody mist. Both body and soul were obliterated.
"You damned brat! You killed my grandson! A thousand deaths would not be enough for your crime! I will not let you go!"
Watching his grandson die a miserable death before his very eyes, Da Wangye's eyes nearly burst from their sockets as he roared furiously.
"Heh heh...
What's this? This is merely the beginning. Over all these years, the persecution you inflicted upon my family... this account is far from settled. Even if you wanted to let me go, I wouldn't let you go."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
"Die, you little beast!"
Da Wangye, looking half-mad, charged toward Ye Yunfei.
With a punch, a shimmering, illusory vermilion bird erupted from behind him, its entire body wreathed in blazing flames. It let out a piercing cry as it pounced towards Ye Yunfei.
Rumble...
Da Wangye's fist continuously enlarged, accompanied by the blazing vermilion bird, shaking the very heavens and earth.
Ye Yunfei brought his palms together, then pushed them forward.
A golden speck of light appeared and shot forward.
Boom...
In the next moment, the golden speck erupted in a terrifying explosion, instantly shattering the space at that point and creating a dark, empty void.
Da Wangye's fist was halted by this fearsome blast, forcing him back a significant distance.
Solar Detonation!
Yet another Imperial Technique!
"The effect isn't ideal enough."
Ye Yunfei frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.
Before coming to the Vermilion Bird Realm, Ye Yunfei had cultivated three Imperial Techniques: Law Spear, Solar Detonation, and Seamless Fist.
He also now understood that Da Wangye's true form must be exceedingly powerful. Because just one of his Clones possessed such battle strength!
It had to be understood that while Ye Yunfei's current cultivation was only at the Initial Half-Emperor level, his comprehensive combat power was already equivalent to a high-level Half-Emperor!
"Die, brat!"
The old Wizard abruptly appeared behind Ye Yunfei. Clapping his palms together, a massive tortoise shell surged from within him, emanating a vast and imposing energy pressure. It spun rapidly, continuously enlarging, and came pressing down on Ye Yunfei.
Clang!
Ye Yunfei threw a punch, sending out a massive fist that teleported across space to collide with the tortoise shell, producing a tremendous clang.
The tortoise shell was directly sent flying.
Seamless Fist!
In truth, Seamless Fist's most powerful effect was in ambush attacks. With a single punch, it could instantly traverse layers of space, striking targets at a distance without them ever noticing.
"Everyone, be careful! This brat's cultivation level is low, but his combat strength is formidable!"
The old Wizard shouted.
Rumble...
Four massive Jiao Dragons, each radiating a terrifying level of energy pressure, arrived overhead and bore down on Ye Yunfei with overwhelming momentum.
Each dragon spanned a thousand meters, their bodies as thick as mountain ranges, imposing a sense of immense oppression.
Boom...
Following Ye Yunfei's intent, a massive circular wheel rose behind him. Within the wheel, nine Divine Beasts pushed together, sending the great wheel rolling forward with unstoppable momentum.
With a thud, one Jiao Dragon failed to dodge in time and was sent flying backward by the collision.
Of the four Jiao Clan Half-Emperor experts, three were at the Initial level and one at the Intermediate level. To Ye Yunfei, they were hardly worth mentioning.
Thump! Thump!
Immediately after, two more of the Jiao Clan's Initial Half-Emperors were sent flying by the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel.
Swish!
Ye Yunfei's figure blurred, moving with an inconceivable speed. In a flash, he appeared before one of the Jiao Clan's Initial Half-Emperors.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei threw a punch.
Currently, Ye Yunfei's physical body strength was around ten thousand jiao. A full-force punch could easily pulverize an Intermediate Half-Emperor!
A torrent of utterly terrifying physical power surged out, enveloping the Jiao Clan Initial Half-Emperor and drowning him in an instant.
Alongside the terrifying physical power, countless thick arcs of lightning flickered like enormous jiao dragons, pouncing towards the Half-Emperor expert.
"Save me, everyone!"
Sensing the horrifying physical power contained within Ye Yunfei's fist, this Initial Half-Emperor's expression changed wildly in fear, and he screamed for help.
But it was already too late.
Not only did Ye Yunfei's fist contain dreadful power, its speed was also extreme. It arrived before the Half-Emperor instantly, leaving him no room to dodge.
Crash!
Flustered, the Jiao Clan Initial Half-Emperor had no choice but to punch out, meeting Ye Yunfei head-on.
Bang!
Ye Yunfei's fist swept through, striking the Jiao Clan Half-Emperor expert and blasting him into a bloody mist.
"Ah! Brat, you actually destroyed my physical body!"
The expert's Soul Body appeared in the distance, wailing bitterly. His Soul Body was wrapped in a cloud of bloody mist, rapidly wriggling as it prepared to reconstitute the body.
This Half-Emperor's life force was quite tenacious!
"It's often said the Jiao Clan possesses extraordinarily stubborn vitality. That seems to be true now that I've seen it!"
Ye Yunfei glanced at the Jiao Clan Half-Emperor expert, thinking to himself.
Given Ye Yunfei's battle power, he could easily annihilate an Initial Half-Emperor instantly. Yet this Jiao Clan expert's Soul Body survived the blow. It indeed spoke of a strong life force.
In the next moment.
Swish!
A towering figure, wreathed in billowing bloody mist, appeared beside the Half-Emperor expert. It opened its mouth and inhaled, generating a powerful suction force that forcibly drew out the Half-Emperor's source essence blood.
Blood Clan Clone!
Recently, this Blood Clan Clone had absorbed the bloodline essence of numerous Half-Emperor experts. Its combat power was now equivalent to that of an Intermediate Half-Emperor, even approaching a high-level Half-Emperor!
Now that the Blood Clan Clone executed its Blood Control Divine Ability, this Half-Emperor expert simply couldn't withstand it.
"Ah... My source essence blood! It's the foundation for reconstituting my body! You're actually stealing my source essence blood? Stop!"
The Jiao Clan Half-Emperor expert screamed in horror.
However, in less than a single breath's time, all his source essence blood was drained clean by the Blood Clan Clone.
Only a Soul Body remained!
"You brat, wait! I'll remember today's grudge! I will take revenge!"
The Initial Half-Emperor's Soul Body dared not linger. It immediately turned to flee.
Shoom!
Ye Yunfei reached out and grasped. A Law Spear materialized in his palm. He aimed it at the fleeing Soul Body and hurled it forward.
Thwump!
The Law Spear shot through space, accurately impaling the Initial Half-Emperor's Soul Body, which then detonated, vanishing without a trace.
Aaah!
At this moment, another of the Jiao Clan's Initial Half-Emperors found himself set upon by two Divine Beasts that tore off a good portion of his body. He let out a shrill, agonized scream.
Pfft!
Ye Yunfei raised another Law Spear and threw it with force, piercing straight through this Initial Half-Emperor's head.
Another Half-Emperor expert slain!
Because Ye Yunfei moved with such blistering speed, Da Wangye and the old Wizard simply couldn't react in time to rescue anyone.
Now, the remaining two Jiao Clan Half-Emperor experts were being besieged by the other Divine Beasts. They were barely holding on, their faces deathly pale with fright.
When they started the fight, they never imagined Ye Yunfei's combat power could be so horrifying, easily killing two Initial Half-Emperors!
"You brat! How dare you kill experts of our Jiao Clan! You've stirred up great trouble! Our Jiao Clan will not let you get away with this!"
Seeing that two out of the four Half-Emperors he had brought had fallen, the Jiao Clan Second Prince felt shock and rage. He roared at Ye Yunfei.
"Little beast, cease your rampage!"
In his fury, Da Wangye rushed before Ye Yunfei and activated a scarlet nine-tiered spire, blasting it towards him.
Simultaneously, the old wizard charged forward as well, once again manifesting that tortoise shell and sending it crashing down upon Ye Yunfei.
Both were treasures at the Half-Emperor level!
Clang! Clang!
Ye Yunfei threw two consecutive punches, directly blasting these two Half-Emperor treasures away.
Not long before, after breaking through to the Initial Half-Emperor level, Ye Yunfei had immediately used the Heaven Metal Clan's "Refine the Body into a Vessel" technique to refine and fuse dozens of Half-Emperor treasures into his body.
Currently, his physical body contained several dozen fused Half-Emperor treasures!
A mere two Half-Emperor treasures, even if they struck Ye Yunfei head-on, would be incapable of harming him.
Furthermore, Ye Yunfei possessed horrifying physical power. He could easily repulse them outright.
"This brat's combat strength is too high!"
Seeing this, both Da Wangye and the old Wizard narrowed their eyes, revealing apprehensive expressions.
By now, around the plaza, nearly half of the gathered beings had disappeared.
With so many Half-Emperor experts battling here, ordinary creatures simply didn't dare remain.
For beings of average strength, in such a terrifyingly high-level battle, receiving even the slightest collateral damage meant ruin beyond recovery.
It was far better to keep a great distance.
At the same time, many members of the Miao Clan were also in a rush to enter the Vermilion Bird Divine Grotto. They had no interest whatsoever in staying behind to watch.
Only a handful of Da Wangye's and the old Wizard's subordinates remained standing guard around the area.
"Alright. No point wasting any more time on you. Mother and Xiao Fei still need to enter the Vermilion Bird Divine Grotto."
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Since the Da Wangye and old Wizard before him were merely two Clones, Ye Yunfei didn't intend to spend any more time on them.
Boom...
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei teleported ten Half-Emperor experts out of the Cosmic Dao Pagoda, all of them charging forward to attack.
"Impossible!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei suddenly gain another ten Half-Emperor experts by his side, Da Wangye and the old Wizard were dumbfounded.
