"I estimate that even an expert at the Heavenly Emperor level might not be able to force their way in against these sword energies. Just what is the origin of this Sword Grave? The sword energy left behind remains this terrifyingly potent even after such a long time has passed. Even a Heavenly Emperor-level master might not leave behind sword energy this fearsome!" Hun Lao couldn't help but gasp repeatedly as he stared at the boundless sword energies surrounding the ancient city.
"'One Sword Levels the World' is merely one of the sword techniques that spread out from within, yet its power is so immense. This Sword Grave's origin is definitely extraordinary. That's also part of the reason I wanted to come here and take a look. There must be even more profound sword techniques inside," Ye Yunfei nodded and replied.
"Hahaha… Finally caught up with this brat!"
"This kid made us chase him for most of the day. Now we've finally got him!"
...
Just at that moment, a group of people came rumbling in. Seeing Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao, they all erupted into wild laughter.
A silver umbrella hovered above them, pouring down streaks of resplendent divine light that enveloped and protected the group.
"That tree truly is extraordinary! The profundity of the Spatial Laws it emits is extremely high-grade! Kill that brat, and this tree shall belong to our Tianjian Sect!" A man dressed in white robes examined Hun Lao with a greedy expression. Sword auras constantly emanated from his body, creating an imposing and stern atmosphere.
Upon hearing the white-robed man's words, Hun Lao's face instantly darkened with displeasure.
The other members of the Tianjian Sect also scrutinized Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao with condescending gazes. All these beings hailed from the Main World, each arrogant and conceited. When they encountered beings from other worlds, it was as if lofty nobles and royalty had met country bumpkins—their sense of superiority was overflowing. They didn't give Ye Yunfei a second glance. In their eyes, Ye Yunfei was already a dead man, and Hun Lao had become their future possession.
"Piss off if you want to live!" Ye Yunfei snapped irritably.
What?!
The Tianjian Sect members were stunned for a moment by Ye Yunfei's words, their faces instantly darkening one by one.
"You punk! How dare you speak to us like that? A role as insignificant as an ant, yet you dare to show off before us? You're overestimating your own strength! Brat, hand that tree over to us immediately, then close your eyes and await death. We might grant you a quick and painless end. But if you offer even the slightest resistance, our Tianjian Sect has plenty of methods to make you wish for death but find it beyond reach!" The white-robed man took a step forward, pointing a finger at Ye Yunfei as he barked harshly, his tone overbearing, as if he would brook no resistance.
"Heh heh…" Hearing the man's words, Ye Yunfei was somewhat speechless, but a fierce killing intent surged in his heart.
"These creatures from the Main World really have an excellent opinion of themselves. They don't take you seriously at all," Hun Lao said with a cold sneer. Hun Lao understood Ye Yunfei's temperament and knew killing intent had been aroused.
"Junior Brother Lu, there's no need to waste words on this brat. Just go over and kill him directly," a man with a tall, slender build and an imposing demeanor spoke indifferently at that moment. This man was the small leader of this Tianjian Sect group and also the strongest among them—a Perfected Half-Emperor!
"Good! I'll finish him off right now!" That Junior Brother Lu took a step forward, advancing toward Ye Yunfei. With a palm strike, torrents of sword auras blossomed from his palm, resembling cascading waterfalls of white silk as they swept towards Ye Yunfei.
"Nothing special," sensing the attack, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sneer coldly. This Junior Brother Lu's realm was that of a Medium Half-Emperor. His sword path level was indeed quite decent, but before Ye Yunfei, it was no match. Ye Yunfei didn't even bother blocking his sword auras, allowing them to slash against his body. Clangs and chimes rang out as sparks flew everywhere, but these sword auras couldn't harm Ye Yunfei in the slightest.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei cast the Time Reversal Art. A powerful wave of Time Energy enveloped Junior Brother Lu directly, freezing him in place, even forcing his movements to regress. Having an exceptionally rich combat experience, Ye Yunfei punched out with his right fist. Vast and mighty physical power poured forth, augmenting his fist.
With a *Pfft!* sound, Junior Brother Lu's head was instantly shattered, turning into a mist of blood, obliterating both form and spirit!
"Such trash dares to challenge me?" Ye Yunfei casually flicked his sleeve, shattering Junior Brother Lu's headless body into nothingness, a look of disdain on his face.
"How is this possible?!" The Tianjian Sect members were dumbstruck, utterly unable to believe what they had just witnessed. That Junior Brother Lu was a Medium Half-Emperor, yet he was instantly killed by a Primary Half-Emperor, and it looked effortless! These beings had come from the Main World, holding themselves in high regard outside. They were supposed to be the ones leapfrogging realms to kill beings from the external worlds, yet now a youngster from the outside had leapfrogged realms to kill one of their Main World comrades! This was completely inverted!
"Damn it! You insolent brat! You actually dare to kill someone from our Tianjian Sect!" The Tianjian Sect leader, Senior Brother Lü, roared furiously.
"Senior Brother Lü, we'll avenge Junior Brother Lu!" Before their leader could act, three other Tianjian Sect members charged forward, shouting in unison.
Boom…
Grasping their longswords, the three Tianjian Sect members unleashed endless, domineering sword auras that blanketed the sky and covered the earth as they swept towards Ye Yunfei. Two of these three were Medium Half-Emperors, the other an Advanced Half-Emperor. Now fighting with full power, every sword aura they unleashed contained fearsome sword path energy. The space in front of Ye Yunfei shattered continuously under their onslaught, the vast torrent of sword auras seemingly capable of annihilating everything.
Sensing the sword auras unleashed by these three, Ye Yunfei did not evade. Instead, his right hand shot out instantly.
Over ten thousand *Jiao* of physical power surged out and was released, shaking the surrounding space until it wobbled like a sieve. At the same time, countless thick bolts of lightning erupted, roaring like thunder, resembling silvery dragons charging forward alongside Ye Yunfei's palm.
Clang! Clang! Clang…
Every single sword aura was blocked barehandedly by Ye Yunfei's palm. Each sword aura that made contact instantly exploded upon his palm, turning into wisps of green smoke amidst showers of sparks.
"How is this possible?! This brat's physique is that resilient?!" Watching Ye Yunfei once again block sword auras with his bare body, the Tianjian Sect members were stunned, their jaws hanging open. The sword auras of their Tianjian Sect were renowned for their dominance, sharpness unrivaled, famously proclaimed to cleave through anything. And now someone was blocking them with their fleshly body?!
How could these Tianjian Sect members know that Ye Yunfei possessed astonishing achievements in tempering his body? Demon God Blood Fusion Body Forging Art, Greenwood Emperor Body, Mysterious Magnetic Glazed Body, Thunder God Tyrant Body Art, Primordial Universe Body Forging Chapter—one could say every body-forging technique Ye Yunfei cultivated was of extremely high caliber. Moreover, Ye Yunfei's body had already fused with massive amounts of Orichalcum! The solidity of his physique had reached a truly astonishing level!
"Retreat! Quickly retreat!" Seeing the situation, the Tianjian Sect leader, Senior Brother Lü, immediately knew things had gone awry and shouted urgently.
