'Kill them!'
Ye Yunfei waved his hand and said coolly.
Boom...
Ten Half-Emperor experts simultaneously rushed forward to attack the old Wizard and Da Wangye.
All ten were advanced Half-Emperors, hailing from ancient times, and possessed formidable combat prowess!
Under the siege of these ten experts, the old Wizard and Da Wangye instantly found themselves overwhelmed and began losing ground.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei appeared before an initial-stage Half-Emperor expert from the Jiao Clan and threw a punch.
Rumble...
Releasing over ten thousand 'Jiao' worth of physical body strength, it created a terrifying visual effect. The very space distorted, shattered, and collapsed under the path of his fist.
Aah...!
The initial-stage Half-Emperor was terrified out of his wits and turned to flee, only to find himself immobilized and suppressed by the terrifying physical strength radiating from Ye Yunfei's fist—there was no escape.
Puff!
Ye Yunfei's fist plowed onward, directly smashing that initial-stage Half-Emperor into a mist of blood, utterly annihilated in both body and spirit.
This time, Ye Yunfei had deliberately amplified his power and specifically targeted his Soul Body, achieving the effect of a one-punch, permanent kill.
'Your turn next.'
Ye Yunfei turned and looked towards the Jiao Clan's last remaining Half-Emperor expert.
This was an intermediate-stage Half-Emperor!
'Second Prince, let's go!'
The Jiao Clan's Half-Emperor, having long lost his fighting spirit after witnessing Ye Yunfei's terrifying combat power and his entourage of numerous Half-Emperor allies, was thoroughly frightened now that Ye Yunfei fixed his gaze on him. He dashed to the Second Prince's side, preparing to take his charge and flee.
Whoosh!
'Heh... since you've already taken action against me, don't think about running. And you,' Ye Yunfei said, sneering, appearing behind the pair in a single step via Spatial Instant Movement, 'weren't you just talking big about taking my little sister back? Why are you running now?'
There was no way Ye Yunfei would let them escape.
'Brat! You've killed three of my Jiao Clan's experts! Our clan will certainly seek retribution for this!' The Jiao Clan Half-Emperor roared angrily, flicking his sleeve to sweep up the Second Prince before shooting towards the horizon like a meteor chasing the moon at incredible speed.
'Time Reversal Technique!' Ye Yunfei uttered softly with a cold smile.
Rumble...
A powerful surge of time energy and laws instantly erupted and rapidly expanded, enveloping the Jiao Clan Half-Emperor and the Second Prince.
In that moment, to their horror, they realized they could not only not move forward but were also being pulled backwards by a terrifying force.
Before coming to the Vermilion Bird Realm, Ye Yunfei had almost completely refined and absorbed all the Time Crystals and Space Crystals he possessed. Both his time energy and space energy had been greatly enhanced!
Coupled with his recent sudden breakthrough to the Half-Emperor realm, which had indirectly increased all his energies and laws, the power of the Space-Time Reversal Art he unleashed now was vastly greater, capable of restraining even a Half-Emperor expert!
'Oh no!' The Jiao Clan Half-Emperor's face paled in fear.
Puff!
Ye Yunfei's fist had already crossed the air, shattering the Half-Emperor's skull in one blow.
'Brat! You actually killed all the experts I brought! Aren't you afraid of our Jiao Clan's revenge?!' roared the Jiao Clan Second Prince.
'You think I'll fear your Jiao Clan after slaughtering openly in the Vermilion Bird Realm?' Ye Yunfei sneered, reached out, grabbed the Second Prince directly, sealed his cultivation, and teleported him into the Phantom Shadow Tower.
Ahhh!
At that moment, several pained screams rang out. The four Half-Emperor experts Ye Yunfei had first released had already completely annihilated the five Miao Clan Half-Emperors. They turned and charged towards the old Wizard and Da Wangye, joining the assault against them.
By now, a total of fifteen Half-Emperor experts were besieging the old Wizard and Da Wangye!
The duo couldn't withstand the assault; their bodies had already been blasted apart several times.
'Da Wangye and the old Wizard truly deserve their reputations as the strongest Half-Emperor experts in the Vermilion Bird Realm. Just two of their Clones possess such combat power; their main bodies must far surpass ordinary Half-Emperors,' Ye Yunfei noted to himself.
Right then, the fifteen Half-Emperor experts swarmed forward and instantly blasted the old Wizard and Da Wangye to smithereens—this time they were annihilated in both body and spirit!
'Oh no! Da Wangye and the Wizard have been shattered! Let's get out of here!'
The group of Miao Clan members witnessing this scene turned pale with terror and scattered to escape.
'Kill all the surrounding Miao Clan forces. Leave none alive!' Ye Yunfei commanded calmly.
Those still lingering nearby were all underlings of the old Wizard and Da Wangye. Ye Yunfei naturally showed no mercy.
The fifteen Half-Emperor experts, upon receiving Ye Yunfei's order, immediately rushed out in all directions and unleashed a massacre, wiping out every single Miao Clan member in the vicinity in the blink of an eye!
'Mother, Xiao Fei, let's enter the Zhuque Divine Grotto now.' Ye Yunfei waved his hand, teleporting the fifteen Half-Emperor experts back into the Heavenly Dao Tower, then soared into the air, heading towards the Zhuque Divine Grotto.
'Must we truly go inside?' Miao Ziqiong seemed reluctant.
'Mother, let's go in and see,' Xiao Fei said to her.
'Alright then,' Miao Ziqiong replied, stroking Xiao Fei's head. Seeing the expectation in her daughter's eyes, she could only nod in agreement.
Ye Yunfei employed his movement technique and advanced across the high skies of the Vermilion Bird Realm at a staggering speed.
Along the way, Ye Yunfei saw countless beings within the Vermilion Bird Realm flocking towards the Zhuque Divine Grotto. Groups upon groups gathered, continuously converging like locusts descending upon a field.
At the same time.
Outside the entrance to the Zhuque Divine Grotto.
'Dammit! My Clone was actually destroyed!'
An old man clad completely in black robes revealed an expression of fury.
This elder was the Miao Clan's old Wizard!
And this was his main body!
He had dispatched a Clone to preside over the wedding between the Jiao Clan Second Prince and Xiao Fei, while his main body had come here to the Divine Grotto's entrance in advance.
'My Clone was also shattered!' Another elder nearby said angrily.
This elder was the Miao Clan's Da Wangye!
Both Da Wangye and the old Wizard were here!
They had almost simultaneously sensed the destruction of their Clones.
As veteran, peak Half-Emperor experts, they had invested an incalculable amount of time, energy, and painstaking effort to refine those two Clones to their current power. It was no exaggeration to say their Clones' combat power rivaled that of an advanced-stage Half-Emperor expert!
To think they were now lost, all their hard work destroyed in an instant!
'Old Wizard, the Zhuque Divine Grotto has opened. Let's enter. We'll settle the score for the destruction of our Clones after we emerge,' Da Wangye said to the old Wizard.
'Very well,' the old Wizard nodded.
