“It’s too late.”
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly.
In the next instant, he cast the Time Reversal Art, instantly enveloping the three Tianjian Sect members before him.
The bodies of the three Tianjian Sect members simultaneously sank and became immobile, startling them so much their expressions drastically changed.
“Now you can try my sword art.”
Ye Yunfei drew his longsword and slashed out a colossal blade of sword light, cleaving straight toward the three Tianjian Sect members.
The might of this single sword strike was enough to shatter heaven and earth!
One Sword to Pacify the World!
As his strength increased, the power of the One Sword to Pacify the World technique Ye Yunfei unleashed grew ever stronger.
“Don’t kill me!”
Feeling the force of the sword light Ye Yunfei had released, the three Tianjian Sect members were scared out of their wits. One of them cried out for mercy, disregarding everything.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
The colossal sword light swept across, directly severing the heads of those three Tianjian Sect members.
Another instant kill!
After this, the remaining Tianjian Sect members dared not look down on Ye Yunfei anymore. Their gazes as they looked at him grew solemn, filled with apprehension.
Four Tianjian Sect members killed instantly in succession — of course those sect members realized that the young man before them wasn’t as weak as they had imagined; on the contrary, he was monstrously powerful!
“Quick! Quick, run!”
At that moment, a group of beings scurried miserably toward this direction from afar, each of them wounded, dripping blood, and some even with severed limbs — a truly wretched sight.
Behind this group, several batches of beings chased at high speed while roaring with laughter, occasionally unleashing several streaks of terrifying sword energy that slashed forward.
“You beings who emerged from the Main World are too domineering! We never provoked you. We even avoided you and kept our distance, so why must you hunt us down?” Among the group being pursued, many cried out angrily.
This hunted group was precisely the people from the Sword-Guarding Manor.
Within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, Sword-Guarding Manor was an extremely powerful force, famous throughout the realm for its sword path. They had dispatched a vanguard of elite disciples this time to explore the Sword Grave. Never did they expect that shortly after entering the Sword Grave, they would become prey hunted for sport by those beings from the Main World, forced to flee continuously under their relentless chase.
“Hahaha… Indeed, you have not provoked us. However, we just want to hunt you down — for fun, you see. What about it? Not happy about it? Well, even if you aren’t, it’s no use! Who asked you to be so weak! You beings from these outside worlds are far too weak, all mere ants unworthy of consideration, only good enough to be tortured and slaughtered at our mercy!” A coarse-looking man with a full beard, wielding a longsword, roared with laughter. As he spoke, he raised his sword and hacked forward, sending a massive blade of sword light manifesting and rolling onward.
“Ahhh…!”
A Sword-Guarding Manor disciple ahead was cleaved in two by the sword strike, his entrails spilling out as he wailed in agony. However, as this disciple was at the Heavenly Boundary Realm Completion level, his vitality was comparatively tenacious. He swiftly reassembled his body and desperately resumed his escape.
“Hahaha… These fellows are utterly feeble!”
The pursuers in the rear all laughed heartily, seeming to relish the feeling of tormenting others.
In truth, these beings were all disciples of major sects within the Main World, who would not normally act with such vicious brutality. But now that they had descended from the Main World into the outside realms, they had become wildly inflated with arrogance, completely unable to regard beings from these outside worlds as equals. It was as if higher-level beings were looking down upon lower-level beings — they had lost all sense of pity, even finding pleasure in tormenting and slaughtering for sport. This situation was akin to an elephant stampeding on ants on the ground — the differing levels of existence meant no sense of empathy whatsoever.
In the blink of an eye, the people from Sword-Guarding Manor rushed over and saw Ye Yunfei and those Tianjian Sect members.
“Oh no! There are Main World beings here too! Let’s escape in another direction!”
The Sword-Guarding Manor group paled in fear, hurriedly changing course in an attempt to flee toward a different direction.
“Hey, Senior Brothers and Sisters of Tianjian Sect! Quickly help block those fellows! Don’t let them escape!”
The pursuers chasing from behind shouted.
Swoosh! Swoosh…
More than a dozen beings from the Tianjian Sect contingent immediately activated their movement techniques and dashed out, blocking the path of the Sword-Guarding Manor disciples.
The strength of those Tianjian Sect members was far too formidable — almost all of them were Half-Emperors! And there were even Perfected Half-Emperors among them!
By contrast, the Sword-Guarding Manor disciples were too weak; most were at the Heavenly Boundary Realm, and only two were Initial Half-Emperors. Therefore, faced with those dozen or so Tianjian Sect members, the Sword-Guarding Manor disciples possessed not a shred of power to resist. Once blocked, their faces drained of blood in terror, not daring at all to attempt a forced breakthrough.
“Hahaha… Keep running, why aren’t you running now!? You bastards made us chase you so hard! Now… prepare to pay the price!”
The bearded, coarse man reached them first, gripping his longsword as he sneered and closed in on the Sword-Guarding Manor disciples.
“Make them all kneel! They will submit to our… judgment!”
A man of short stature also caught up, his face bearing a sinister smile as he spoke.
Soon, the other beings caught up as well, surrounding the Sword-Guarding Manor disciples.
“Everyone, gather close to me! Prepare to fight to the death! No matter what, our Sword-Guarding Manor has no weaklings who kneel to the enemy!” A beautiful young woman brimming with heroic aura, gripping a longsword, shouted firmly from among the Sword-Guarding Manor disciples.
This beautiful woman’s surname was Xiao. At Initial Half-Emperor level, she possessed the greatest strength among this group of Sword-Guarding Manor disciples, and she was the one leading this expedition. The disciples around her all called her Senior Sister Xiao.
The Sword-Guarding Manor disciples all crowded behind Senior Sister Xiao, their faces pale. They all understood the situation was dire — the strength of those Main World beings was too terrifying; they simply stood no chance against them!
“Tsk tsk… This little lady isn’t bad-looking at all…” Numerous Main World beings sized up Senior Sister Xiao from head to toe with appreciative, lecherous gazes.
“Hmm? This kid is here too! Excellent!”
At this moment, the pursuing beings who had caught up suddenly spotted Ye Yunfei and couldn’t help but feel great joy.
These Main World beings all coveted Hun Lao, so Ye Yunfei was one of their primary targets!
“You people of Tianjian Sect secretly chased after this kid — don’t tell me you wanted to hog him all for yourselves and monopolize that tree!”
“Thankfully we caught up in time! Otherwise, your Tianjian Sect might have really gotten away with taking that tree!”
…
The beings from the other factions spoke up one after another.
Hearing these words, the Tianjian Sect members all wore slightly ugly expressions.
It was true — they were the first to catch up to Ye Yunfei and had intended to seize the tree by force. However, not only did they fail to seize the tree, they had even lost several members.
This outcome left them feeling utterly humiliated!
