The force contained within Ye Yunfei's palm was utterly terrifying, having completely immobilized this disciple of the Azure Profound Sect.
With a crack, the disciple's body exploded as if he were nothing but a weak egg.
How was this possible?
The other Azure Profound Sect disciples were stunned and speechless; how could they have expected that this unfamiliar young man would possess such immense power?
"Who is he? Why did he suddenly come out to help us?"
The dozen or so disciples from the Reincarnation Palace were also deeply puzzled.
"No matter who he is, most of the enemies' attention is on him now. Get ready, look for an opportunity, and prepare to break out at any moment."
The leading Reincarnation Palace disciple transmitted a voice message to the others.
"Senior Brother Meng! This boy's physical strength is too great! You'll probably need to deal with him personally!"
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was still advancing step by step towards Meng Qingshan. The several Azure Profound Sect disciples standing beside Meng Qingshan watched Ye Yunfei's murderous approach and were so frightened they quietly retreated.
Ye Yunfei's act of killing a Perfected Heavenly Emperor with a single slap had dealt a massive shock to these Azure Profound Sect disciples.
"I'll kill you with my own hands, you brat!" Meng Qingshan said through gritted teeth.
Swish!
A longsword suddenly appeared in his hand, unleashing a sword beam of five colors infused with the aura of chaos, sweeping horizontally towards Ye Yunfei.
"That's a fine sword. I'll take it."
Ye Yunfei glanced at the longsword, nodded slightly, and spoke.
This sword simultaneously contained the essence of the Five Elements; it was highly likely to be forged from five different rare metals of the Five Elements, making it more advanced than any other sword Ye Yunfei possessed, which is why he took a liking to it at first sight.
"You want my sword? Pity you won't be alive to take it!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Meng Qingshan felt deeply insulted. His anger peaked, turning into a sneer.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand and sent forth a sword beam. With a clang, it blocked Meng Qingshan's longsword.
Ye Yunfei had cultivated his peerless sword art to the realm where all ten thousand swords become one. Though Meng Qingshan was a Mystic Immortal and wielded a superior sword, Ye Yunfei could still handle him with ease.
Meng Qingshan's body jerked violently and he retreated dozens of steps, a look of shock and dismay on his face.
"Brat, what kind of sword art is this?" he asked indignantly, never imagining Ye Yunfei's swordsmanship would be so profound.
Boom...
Just as Meng Qingshan was speaking, Ye Yunfei's fist had already arrived before him, growing larger like a divine mountain, unleashing an awe-inspiring force.
"Impossible!"
Meng Qingshan instinctively tried to dodge, but found he couldn't move his body an inch.
Even the Barbarian God Sect's Elder Zhong, whose strength was equivalent to a Peak Mystic Immortal, had been killed by Ye Yunfei. Although Meng Qingshan possessed the power of an Initial Mystic Immortal and was a disciple of the Azure Profound Sect — practically peerless among those of his level — he still could not withstand Ye Yunfei's terrifying physical strength.
Ye Yunfei reached out and grabbed Meng Qingshan, lifting him up as easily as he would a chick. Then, Ye Yunfei sealed his power.
Meng Qingshan's longsword naturally now belonged to Ye Yunfei.
"Brat, you actually cultivated your body to this degree! Are you a disciple of the Barbarian God Sect? Your sect has always deferred to our Azure Profound Sect; even your Sect Master often pays visits to our Sect Leader at the Azure Profound Sect. How dare you kill a member of our Azure Profound Sect! Aren't you afraid your Sect Master will find out?"
Seething with indignation, Meng Qingshan roared. He suspected Ye Yunfei was a disciple of the Barbarian God Sect. Within the Main World, there weren't many sects dedicated solely to body tempering, with the Barbarian God Sect being a particularly famous one, and this time they had sent many people to the Ancient God Ruins.
"Brat, let Senior Brother Meng go immediately!"
Seeing Meng Qingshan captured in Ye Yunfei's palm, the other Azure Profound Sect disciples were both terrified and furious, yelling out admonishments.
The members of the other factions who had joined the assault on the Reincarnation Palace disciples also stopped fighting, their attention completely drawn to this scene.
The dozen or so Reincarnation Palace disciples felt immense relief, but were equally perplexed, unable to understand why Ye Yunfei would suddenly help them.
"Brat, release Senior Brother Meng now! Senior Brother Meng is the nephew of our Azure Profound Sect's Ninth Elder. If you harm him, the consequences..."
One Azure Profound Sect disciple pointed his sword at Ye Yunfei and shouted.
Puff!
With a flick of his wrist, Ye Yunfei sent out a sword beam that instantly turned the disciple into a bloody mist.
Originally, Ye Yunfei had no intention of provoking major forces from the Main World. But now, Su Qingluo was involved, especially after hearing the Azure Profound Sect might pose a threat to her. All caution was thrown to the wind.
"Go and die."
Ye Yunfei said coldly, his palms moving continuously, unleashing razor-sharp sword radiance. Each beam inevitably killed one or several Azure Profound Sect disciples.
This group of Azure Profound Sect disciples was relatively weak; the strongest was Meng Qingshan, while the others were mere Heavenly Emperors, no match for Ye Yunfei.
Those from the other factions who had joined the siege against the Reincarnation Palace disciples were also caught up, casually slain by Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's killing speed was too fast. In just a few breaths, he had slaughtered every one of them.
Only the dozen or so Reincarnation Palace disciples remained, standing there in terror.
Just moments ago, they had felt sword energy surging around them and blades of light rolling past. In the blink of an eye, all the enemies encircling them were dead.
Such methods were too frightening!
The key point was that the person doing this was a nobody!
"You..."
Held in Ye Yunfei's grasp, Meng Qingshan witnessed with his own eyes Ye Yunfei wipe out all his men in moments, feeling extreme shock and fury.
"Why does the Azure Profound Sect want to target Palace Lord Su? Do you know?"
Ye Yunfei looked at the Reincarnation Palace disciples and asked.
"Young Hero, we don't know the reason. The Azure Profound Sect's strength is comparable to our Reincarnation Palace's, and the two have always kept to their own affairs. Logically, the Azure Profound Sect shouldn't actively provoke our Reincarnation Palace, let alone move against Palace Lord Su.
Once Patriarch Lunhui becomes enraged, the Azure Profound Sect likely wouldn't be able to withstand it! Because Patriarch Lunhui of our Reincarnation Palace is among the top-tier powerhouses in the Main World!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's question, the leading Reincarnation Palace disciple hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and replied.
Ye Yunfei had killed Azure Profound Sect disciples without a second thought, showing no restraint whatsoever. Therefore, these Reincarnation Palace disciples didn't dare show any disrespect towards him.
"Young Hero, thank you for saving us earlier. We must hurry now to inform Palace Lord Su and let her be prepared," the Reincarnation Palace disciple said.
"In that case, I'll go with you."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and replied.
Upon learning that Su Qingluo might be in danger, Ye Yunfei naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch.
