Although Ye Yunfei had already cultivated the Greenwood Emperor Body, the two physique-refining cultivation techniques could be practiced simultaneously.
The Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Body Art focused on enhancing physical strength, while the Greenwood Emperor Body further increased the body's resilience.
The two complemented each other perfectly!
"Alright, let's go back into that valley and search for the Ancient Demon Race corpse!" Ye Yunfei decided immediately.
In this lifetime after his rebirth, what Ye Yunfei craved most was to swiftly raise his power and return to the seat of the Heavenly Emperor as soon as possible!
Moreover, Ye Yunfei believed that with his current strength and hidden cards, even if he couldn't defeat all those Earth Corpse Monkeys, escaping unscathed wouldn't be difficult.
Besides, if things truly came to a life-or-death situation, he could always directly activate the Transmission Talisman and teleport away.
Thus, Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao headed once more in the direction of the valley.
"Hand over all the Ancient Demon Crystals on your person immediately. Otherwise, don't blame us for getting rough!"
After walking for a short while, a loud shout suddenly erupted nearby.
"That's unfair! You disciples from the great clans won't collect Ancient Demon Crystals yourselves, yet you dare block the road to rob us of ours!"
"Exactly! You're sabotaging the assessment competition!"
...
Immediately, several indignant voices retorted.
"Hahaha... Fairness? You actually demand fairness? Let me tell you the truth. In this world, the fist is the only hard truth! Whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules! Only fools talk about fairness. Cut the nonsense and hand over all your Ancient Demon Crystals now! Otherwise, you can try and see whether you can activate your Transmission Talismans faster, or our swords are quicker. And even if you manage to escape by luck, once the assessment is over, we will come looking for you. Heh heh, I'm afraid your sects and families will also be implicated then!" A domineering voice rang out.
"Oh? Someone is robbing Ancient Demon Crystals?" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but pause.
"These guys truly have no shame. From the sound of it, they seem to be from one of the major clans," Hu Miao said.
"Alright, let's not bother with them. Hurry to that valley and see if there really is an Ancient Demon Race corpse. There are only a few hours left before the assessment ends. Time is running out," Ye Yunfei said and continued walking with Hu Miao.
However,
just at that moment.
"You two, stop! Roll over here right now!"
A roar sounded from the left, about six or seven hundred meters away. Then, several young men from that direction rushed over as if flying.
"Hehehe, Master, you didn't want to get involved, but they insisted on coming after us," Hu Miao covered her mouth and laughed.
"Heh, in that case, let's grant their wish," Ye Yunfei sneered coldly and stopped walking.
Soon, the young men arrived.
"You two, hand over every single Ancient Demon Crystal on your person immediately!" one of them roared even before he got close.
"Ah!
It's Ye Yunfei!"
Finally, when the young men reached them, they recognized Ye Yunfei and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Ye Yunfei, you actually didn't die!"
These young men all looked at Ye Yunfei with shock and suspicion.
Ye Yunfei had been completely surrounded by over a hundred thousand Earth Corpse Monkeys in that valley. All these disciples from the great sects and clans had believed Ye Yunfei was certainly dead.
Never did they expect Ye Yunfei to still be alive now.
"You want to rob my Ancient Demon Crystals?" Ye Yunfei swept a cold gaze over the young men.
"Let's go!"
The young men exchanged a glance and, quite decisively, turned and fled.
They knew there was no way they could be a match for Ye Yunfei.
"Haha, you think you can come as you please and leave as you wish? Nothing in this world comes that cheap," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but let out a loud laugh.
The young men didn't say a word, fleeing for their lives.
But the next moment, Ye Yunfei's figure appeared before them like a ghost, blocking their path.
Ye Yunfei's speed was at least a hundred times faster than theirs!
*Slap! Slap!...*
Ye Yunfei flicked his right hand out and, within a single move, knocked all these young men unconscious.
He also casually took all the spatial rings from their bodies.
Ye Yunfei's movements were too fast; these young men had absolutely no chance to resist.
"Let's go. Let's go see what's happening over there," Ye Yunfei unfolded his movement technique and dashed towards the left.
Hu Miao followed behind.
How fast was Ye Yunfei's speed?
In less than two seconds, he arrived at a grassy field.
In the grass, over a dozen young men had five other young men surrounded in the center.
The five surrounded young men each wore expressions of terror and anger.
The dozen or so young men, however, all had arrogant expressions, their auras oppressive.
"I'll count to three. If you don't hand over the Ancient Demon Crystals on your person, don't blame us for being impolite!" a man in green robes sneered, pointing at the five young men.
This green-robed man was none other than the Chen Clan's Chen Ziqian!
He had brought over a dozen Chen Clan juniors and was robbing other young martial artists of their Ancient Demon Crystals.
"Heh, the Chen Clan people are quite impressive," a cold laugh sounded at that moment.
Then, a man and a woman appeared on the scene.
The speed of this man and woman was truly too fast. They appeared before any of these Chen Clan juniors noticed them.
Chen Ziqian's face immediately darkened, his sharp and aggressive gaze fixing on the newcomers.
"Ye Yunfei!
It's you!"
Upon seeing them, Chen Ziqian was struck dumb with shock.
"It's Ye Yunfei!"
The other Chen Clan juniors were also greatly astonished.
"Ye Yunfei, you actually haven't died yet!" Chen Ziqian asked, unable to believe it.
"Were you hoping I'd die?" Ye Yunfei sneered.
"Ye Yunfei, since you're not dead, then... did you obtain the Ancient Demon Crystals from that valley?" Suddenly, Chen Ziqian thought of this and asked tentatively.
"Of course," Ye Yunfei waved a hand, and thousands of Ancient Demon Crystals were taken from his spatial ring, suspended before him, sparkling and glimmering like a sky full of stars.
*Hiss!*
Seeing the densely packed Ancient Demon Crystals floating before Ye Yunfei, both Chen Ziqian and the other Chen Clan juniors couldn't help but suck in cold breaths of air, utterly shocked.
During this period, they had been fighting demonic beasts everywhere, going through life-and-death struggles, yet they hadn't even managed to gather one hundred Ancient Demon Crystals.
Seeing the assessment was about to end, they thought of the idea of robbery and had been running all over to rob other young martial artists.
Never did they expect Ye Yunfei to casually pull out thousands of Ancient Demon Crystals.
"This is only a part of them," Ye Yunfei said lightly.
"Only a part!"
Chen Ziqian and the Chen Clan juniors all trembled.
"Ye Yunfei, those Ancient Demon Crystals originally belonged to us. If we hadn't led the charge to break in, you would have had no chance to enter that valley," Chen Ziqian's eyes shone brightly, fixed greedily on the Ancient Demon Crystals before Ye Yunfei, swallowing hard as he spoke.
"Idiot."
Ye Yunfei waved a hand and stored all the Ancient Demon Crystals back into his spatial ring.
"Alright.
You five, leave," Ye Yunfei said to the five young martial artists surrounded by the Chen Clan juniors.
"We can leave?"
The five young martial artists were overjoyed.
They too had heard of Ye Yunfei's name.
"Who dares to leave!"
Chen Ziqian couldn't help but fly into a rage.
*Boom!*
Hu Miao took a step forward, unleashing a surge of terrifying demonic power that crushed forward.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!...*
Immediately, all the Chen Clan juniors were sent flying back by the force.
Chen Ziqian was also forced to retreat several steps.
"Go," Ye Yunfei waved at the five young martial artists.
"Thank you!"
The five young martial artists were ecstatic, immediately turning and fleeing, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.
"Now, hand over every single Ancient Demon Crystal you have on your person.
Otherwise, don't blame me for getting rough," Ye Yunfei said with a cold sneer.
"What?!
Ye Yunfei, you already have so many Ancient Demon Crystals, yet you still want to rob ours?!" Chen Ziqian cried out, both shocked and furious.
"If you can rob others, then of course, I can rob you.
Hu Miao, attack!" Ye Yunfei commanded.
"Yes, Master," Hu Miao chuckled, immediately deploying her Illusion Art.
Immediately, threads of illusory laws swept towards the Chen Clan juniors.
Having greatly increased in power, the potency of the Illusion Art Hu Miao wielded was naturally even more formidable.
The next moment,
including Chen Ziqian, all the Chen Clan juniors fell into a state of stupor.
Ye Yunfei moved. In less than a second, he robbed them of everything on their persons.
Then, he and Hu Miao activated their movement techniques and vanished in an instant.
"Ah!
Damn you, Ye Yunfei! I worked so hard to collect ninety-five Ancient Demon Crystals, and you stole them all from me!"
Soon after, the furious roar of Chen Ziqian echoed behind them, filled with rage and panic.
