"Ye Yunfei, what's wrong with you!
You're too foolish! Is sacrificing yourself for me... worth it..."
Seeing Ye Yunfei on the verge of exploding right before her, Su Qingluo could no longer hold back her emotions and screamed.
She knew that even with Ye Yunfei's monstrous talent and strength, using his physical body to withstand the combined attacks of five Earth Immortals left him little chance of survival.
In her frantic state, she didn't care about anything else. She grabbed hold of Ye Yunfei and retreated at top speed.
'I thought Su Qingluo was doomed, but I never imagined some kid would appear out of nowhere to save her!'
'That kid actually threw away his own life for Su Qingluo!'
'And it looks like Su Qingluo has known him for a long time!'
'Their relationship is definitely not ordinary!'
'They're already embracing. Their relationship is certainly not ordinary!'
'Who would have thought that the lofty master of the Reincarnation Palace would have fallen for some unknown youth!'
At that moment, on the battlefield, everyone's focus was on Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo. Having witnessed Ye Yunfei save Su Qingluo at the last possible second, they now saw Su Qingluo actually embracing Ye Yunfei in front of everyone, tears streaming down her face. Heated discussions erupted among the onlookers.
"Damn it!
How could Qing Luo act this way? Even if this kid saved her, she can't lower her status by embracing him in public!"
Far away, Granny Long leaned on her cane, her expression turning dark as she watched the scene.
Although Su Qingluo's safety had given her a sigh of relief, seeing Su Qingluo being so affectionate towards Ye Yunfei instantly ignited rage in her heart, for she had never held a favorable opinion of him.
"This..."
The Reincarnation Patriarch felt equally complex upon seeing this.
Of course, he was thoroughly relieved that Su Qingluo was unharmed. If something happened to her, it would be a tremendous loss for the Reincarnation Palace and would cause the palace's army to lose morale, making it even harder to deal with the current situation.
However, he could tell that Ye Yunfei's self-sacrifice had instantly elevated Su Qingluo's feelings for this young man. She had even stepped forward to embrace him on the spot—a genuine expression of emotion.
From this, it seemed deep affection would take root!
In the Reincarnation Patriarch's mind, some unknown youth with no background was simply not worthy of the esteemed master of the Reincarnation Palace!
"Damn it!
Our combined attack could have completely defeated Su Qingluo. Who could have imagined this foolhardy kid would suddenly appear and save her!"
The five Earth Immortal experts were furious and extremely unwilling. They had finally seized the opportunity earlier to swarm together and launch a killing attack on Su Qingluo—the best chance to utterly defeat her—only to have it sabotaged now.
*Crack...*
At that moment, the fissures on Ye Yunfei's body grew larger and larger. His entire form was on the brink of disintegration.
Moreover, blood seemed to pour from his body as if it cost nothing, drenching his entire form and turning him into what seemed like a man of blood.
"Ye Yunfei, how are you!"
Su Qingluo held Ye Yunfei in her arms, unleashing various divine arts and using the Reincarnation Palace's secret healing techniques, trying desperately to forcibly restore his body. But it was useless. Ye Yunfei's body continued to split apart, crumbling away piece by piece. In a matter of moments, it had cracked into several fragments, causing Su Qingluo to cry out in desperation.
"No! Young Master Ye seems..."
In the distance, Elder Zhuge and the large group of Reincarnation Palace members who had followed Ye Yunfei earlier watched as his body continually fractured, their hearts filled with anxiety.
"Young Master Ye is our great benefactor! If anything happens to him, how can we ever repay his kindness?
What should we do now!"
Elder Zhuge and the others were deeply distressed, wishing they could rush over immediately to find a way to save Ye Yunfei.
But the space around Ye Yunfei was filled with numerous Earth Immortal experts radiating terrifying auras of energy. Elder Zhuge's group, who had ventured with Ye Yunfei before, simply didn't have the power to get close. They could only watch helplessly.
Moreover, with Ye Yunfei currently held in Su Qingluo's embrace, they dared not approach.
"Ye Yunfei!
This kid's name is Ye Yunfei. I know who he is now. He's that junior who recently led a group of Reincarnation Palace forces to destroy a large number of our branch strongholds!"
Suddenly, a Qingxuan Sect elder pointed at Ye Yunfei and shouted.
Not long ago, Ye Yunfei had led a group of Reincarnation Palace forces to eliminate a batch of branch strongholds belonging to the five great powers. Those powers had already dispatched experts to conduct detailed investigations and had roughly discovered Ye Yunfei's appearance and Soul Body aura. Now, with the real person before them, elders from these factions finally recognized him.
"What?
The junior who recently destroyed so many of our branch strongholds is this kid?
How audacious!
But he's facing retribution now. A fine death!"
The upper echelons of the five great forces flew into a rage, glaring at Ye Yunfei and yelling one after another.
With so many of their branch strongholds destroyed, suffering huge losses in manpower and resources, they harbored bone-deep hatred for Ye Yunfei.
"On second thought, that kid's body is ridiculously tough. Getting hit by five Earth Immortals combined, he didn't immediately explode into nothing!
If it were anyone else struck by five Earth Immortals simultaneously, they probably wouldn't even leave a trace of ash behind."
Some couldn't help but marvel, suddenly realizing how frighteningly tough Ye Yunfei's body truly was.
"Attack!
Surround and kill that little vixen Su Qingluo!"
At that moment, Mo Xiangtian, the Five Poisons Immortal Child, and the three Dark Faction Earth Immortals exchanged sound transmissions and began closing in on Su Qingluo again.
After embracing Ye Yunfei, Su Qingluo immediately employed her movement technique, continuously backing away. But the movement techniques of those five Earth Immortals were terrifying as well. They caught up in an instant, preparing to strike.
The process—from Ye Yunfei's body being shattered, Su Qingluo clutching his form, to their rapid retreat—sounds lengthy in description, but in reality, it happened in an extremely short time. Merely a few breaths.
"Qing Luo, don't be sad. I'm alright.
I'll use a formation to deal with these five. You use the opportunity to distance yourself from them, then find a way to counter them.
Don't fight them head-on!"
Just as Su Qingluo, holding Ye Yunfei's fracturing body, felt frantic with worry, she suddenly heard a sound transmission. It was Ye Yunfei's voice.
The truth was, the Ye Yunfei being held by Su Qingluo was a Doppelganger Statue!
Back when Ye Yunfei refined the Doppelganger Statues, he had already discovered that these nine statues meant nine additional lives for him. In critical moments, he could let these nine statues take the brunt for his main body!
"What?
Ye Yunfei, are you really alright?
Why did I almost lose all sense of your Soul Body earlier? I thought your Soul Body had already been shattered!
Are you truly unharmed?"
Su Qingluo had been in the depths of despair when she suddenly heard Ye Yunfei's sound transmission. Her delicate frame trembled. She found it hard to believe, feeling both shock and delight as she opened her mouth to ask.
