"Detestable human brat! That body was, to this day, the most satisfactory one I had found, and you actually shattered it!
You deserve death!"
Li Changqian's Soul Body had actually managed to escape, appearing in the distance. He fixed a hateful, venomous glare on Ye Yunfei, his words grinding out through clenched teeth.
"Oh?"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat surprised.
It had to be said, with Ye Yunfei's current strength, not just a Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator, but even a Half-Emperor expert could have their physical body and Soul Body shattered simultaneously by a single punch. Yet this Li Changqian, as a Heaven Ascension cultivator, had managed to make his Soul Body escape from under Ye Yunfei's fist. This indicated that his Soul Body was certainly unusual.
"Could it be..."
A vague possibility surfaced in Ye Yunfei's mind.
"Human brat! You dare to act savagely upon entering our territory!
Attack!
Destroy their Soul Bodies and seize their physical forms!"
The sect leader was incensed, roaring out the order.
Hong! Hong...
As the leader's command echoed, the experts of the Spring Autumn Sect all around them erupted. Howling with savage roars, their murderous rage surging to the heavens, they pounced towards Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao like a pack of ravenous jackals.
"Since you seek death, don't blame me then!"
Ye Yunfei's expression turned cold as he spoke frostily.
He then drew a long sword and executed his Thousand Swords Return to One sword technique. Razor-sharp, ethereal sword beams tore through space with ease, sweeping towards the onrushing Spring Autumn Sect experts like a deluge.
Pu! Pu! Pu...
Almost every sword beam Ye Yunfei unleashed struck one person with uncanny accuracy.
These so-called experts of the Spring Autumn Sect possessed no ability to resist against Ye Yunfei's sword strikes.
It was a complete, one-sided annihilation—one sword strike, one kill!
Within a dozen or so breaths, most of the Spring Autumn Sect's high-ranking members within this hall had been slain by Ye Yunfei, leaving only the sect leader himself!
The sect leader possessed Perfected Half-Emperor strength, the strongest existence within the Spring Autumn Sect.
Sword in hand, Ye Yunfei stared at the leader with a cold smirk.
"You are too vicious, brat!
Fine! Let's see how many you can kill!
All members of our Spring Autumn Sect, enter now and surround this boy!"
The leader's face turned green with fury. Like a beast provoked, he let out a guttural roar.
Following his command, every living being within the headquarters of the Spring Autumn Sect halted their actions, lifted their heads, and cast hateful gazes towards the location of the hall.
"The leader commands: surround and kill that human boy!"
"Kill him!"
...
In the next moment, roars erupted from all the beings within the Spring Autumn Sect headquarters. They radiated violent, primal auras, then charged towards Ye Yunfei's hall like madmen.
Beings densely packed like a tidal wave surged from both the sky and the ground, instantly surrounding the hall.
Roar! Roar...
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, the nine divine beasts and the Blood Clan Clone materialized, charging outwards in different directions.
The strength of these nine divine beasts and the Blood Clan Clone was equivalent to that of Perfected Half-Emperors—even surpassing that of ordinary Perfected Half-Emperors!
Facing beings of ordinary strength, the divine beasts and the Blood Clan Clone were engaged in a slaughter of absolute dominance. Wherever they went, members of the Spring Autumn Sect fell in droves, like wheat being harvested.
Huu...
Amidst the battle, the Blood Clan Clone suddenly activated its Blood Control divine ability, unleashing a rolling tide of bloody mist that instantly engulfed the entire hall.
Gurgle...
The blood within almost every being's body began to boil, then burst through their blood vessels, flowing out through their skin. Within moments, churning fresh blood was everywhere in the hall.
Shortly after, the hall was piled with scattered limbs and shattered flesh, forming rivers of blood.
"Cease! All of you retreat!"
The leader shouted loudly, finally realizing that no matter how many of his followers there were, it wouldn't be enough for Ye Yunfei to slaughter.
"Damn it!
He destroyed my physical body!
I searched for that body for so long before finding it!
Shattered by a single sword strike of his!"
"Leader, we cannot spare this human boy! He is utterly detestable!"
"Brat! Return my body to me!"
...
To Ye Yunfei's astonishment, the Soul Bodies of those Spring Autumn Sect high-ranks he had just slain were all still present. One by one, they reappeared beside the leader, fixing Ye Yunfei with venomous glares and shrieking their hatred.
Not only were their Soul Bodies still present, but each one was brimming with powerful Soul Force Energy, appearing completely unharmed.
Furthermore, with his keen perception, Ye Yunfei sensed that even the ordinary members of the Spring Autumn Sect, whose bodies had been shattered, still had their Soul Bodies intact. They reappeared, floating in the distance, glaring angrily at him.
"Their Soul Bodies are too bizarre! They haven't suffered any damage at all."
Hun Lao, also feeling that things were highly abnormal, sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"You are dead, detestable human boy!"
Those Soul Bodies ground their teeth one by one, their faces twisted with ferocity.
"I suspect they are related to a certain race.
The Soul Race."
Ye Yunfei replied.
"The Soul Race!
You're saying these fellows belong to the Soul Race?
No wonder their Soul Bodies are so powerful—their bodies shattered yet their Soul Bodies completely unharmed!
If they are of the Soul Race, then it makes perfect sense!"
Hun Lao, being widely experienced, had heard of the Soul Race before. Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, he suddenly had an epiphany.
"Back when I traveled the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds with Ancient Desolate Great Emperor, I once encountered the Soul Race. Dozens of Soul Race members attacked the Great Emperor at the time, and he slew them all.
According to the Great Emperor, the Soul Race's most formidable method of attack lies in Soul Force martial techniques.
If these fellows are truly of the Soul Race, you must be extremely careful of their Soul Force techniques," Hun Lao advised Ye Yunfei.
"I understand.
In fact, I have also cultivated one of the Soul Race's inherited secret arts. In a real fight, I am not afraid of them."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Truly unexpected... There are so many Soul Race members hidden within the Tianpo Realm."
Hun Lao sighed.
"Collective attack!"
Just at that moment, the sect leader suddenly roared.
Aaah...
Following his command, all the Soul Bodies in the surroundings and the beings in other parts of the headquarters all howled in fury.
Every Soul Body unleashed a surge of powerful Soul Force Energy, vast and mighty, converging together into a tempestuous ocean of soul force that swept towards Ye Yunfei.
The sheer volume of Soul Force Energy resembled a tsunami connecting sky and earth, or numerous volcanoes erupting simultaneously. The effect it produced was astounding.
Hong long long...
Under the onslaught of this terrifying Soul Force Energy, the space around Ye Yunfei continuously collapsed and exploded.
"It really is a Soul Force martial technique!
These fellows are definitely the Soul Race!"
Feeling the terrifying attacks of Soul Force Energy, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but exclaim.
