"Well, gentlemen, we meet again. What's wrong? You don't seem too pleased to see me?" Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, sweeping a glance over the Luohai Trading Company's higher-ups as he chuckled softly.
"Ye Yunfei! Your heart was pierced! How are you not dead?!" No matter what, Ren Xuantang couldn't accept the reality before his eyes. His gaze fixed fiercely on Ye Yunfei as he asked in a raspy voice.
"You? Killing me, Ye Yunfei? Do you honestly think that's possible?" Ye Yunfei sneered coldly.
Having said that, Ye Yunfei took a single step forward.
RUMBLE...
This step appeared utterly ordinary, yet when Ye Yunfei's foot landed, it was as if a Primordial Archaic Bull was treading the earth, shaking the heavens and the earth. The entire ground of Luohai City began to tremble violently!
BANG!
Ye Yunfei threw a fist punch through the air. The Mountain-Piercing Divine Strike of the True Fiend God-Slaying Fist was unleashed. A terrifying wave of fist force blasted towards one of the Luohai Trading Company higher-ups.
That higher-up was horrified, retreating desperately. This man possessed strength at the Early Stage True Manifestation Realm.
BANG!
He drew a silver war halberd, gripped it with both hands, and with all his might swung it forward even as his figure hastily retreated.
CLANG!
The silver war halberd was sent flying by the violent fist force.
THUMP!
The terrifying fist force, its momentum undiminished, struck the higher-up's body, blasting it to smithereens on the spot, breaking it into pieces.
Ye Yunfei's current physical body strength had already reached two point five million jin. Combined with the Mountain-Piercing Divine Strike from the True Fiend God-Slaying Fist, the power was absolutely horrifying. A single punch had killed a Early Stage True Manifestation Realm expert!
But this was only the beginning.
Ye Yunfei took his second step.
RUMBLE...
The ground of Luohai City trembled intensely once more.
BOOM...
Ye Yunfei threw another fist, aiming at a higher-up with True Manifestation Realm Middle Stage cultivation.
"Damn it!" That higher-up, caught between shock and rage, snarled savagely, resisting desperately.
But it was useless.
THUMP!
His body was struck by the aerial fist force, sent flying backward like a kite with a cut string, spurting blood repeatedly.
BANG!
Ye Yunfei delivered a follow-up punch.
PUFF!
That higher-up's body exploded into fragments right then and there.
His third step.
The earth shook.
Ye Yunfei threw a punch, blasting apart the head of a higher-up with Early Stage True Manifestation Realm strength, turning him into a headless corpse.
Next came his fourth step, his fifth step...
With each step Ye Yunfei took, he employed the aerial fist force to kill another person. Those Luohai Trading Company higher-ups, though each tried desperately to evade and defend, were helpless. Before Ye Yunfei's physical might of two point five million jin, they appeared far too weak. They possessed little power to resist.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yunfei took seven steps in a row, blasting seven Luohai Trading Company higher-ups to death. One step, one True Manifestation Realm expert killed! As easily as chopping melons or slicing vegetables!
After killing seven in a row, Ye Yunfei stood with hands behind his back once more, smiling coldly as he watched the remaining higher-ups.
At this moment, the headquarters of the Luohai Trading Company fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared at Ye Yunfei with fearful, horrified eyes. No one dared make a sound. All felt icy cold, as if plunged into a ten-thousand-year ice cavern, facing a peerless demon!
The Luohai Trading Company originally had over twenty True Manifestation Realm experts. Last time, Ye Yunfei had killed four. This time, seven more had been slaughtered. That meant Ye Yunfei had already eliminated half of the company's True Manifestation Realm experts!
At this point, the remaining higher-ups of the Luohai Trading Company were all trembling with fear, their courage to fight utterly gone. They knew that with the company's current strength, there was no possible way to stand against Ye Yunfei. Last time, they'd only barely defeated him with over twenty True Manifestation Realm experts plus three hundred mysterious knights.
Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and Elder Zhang, standing behind Ye Yunfei, also felt a tremor of awe upon witnessing such terrifying combat prowess displayed.
After a few moments of this deathly silence, Ren Xuantang finally worked up the nerve and snarled at Ye Yunfei, "Ye Yunfei! What do you actually want!"
"That should be obvious—I intend to wipe out your Luohai Trading Company," Ye Yunfei said lightly, flicking his fingers.
"Ye Yunfei! Our Luohai Trading Company has stood in the Eastern Region for over two hundred years! We have profound depth, tens of thousands of members, and countless allies! Do you truly intend to make an enemy of us?!" Ren Xuantang shouted, his gaze towards Ye Yunfei venomous with hatred.
"Moron," Ye Yunfei shook his head and sneered.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Ye Yunfei sent out three consecutive punches.
RUMBLE...
A horrifying tidal wave of aerial fist force, each attack terrifying to the extreme, thundered as it shot towards three Luohai Trading Company higher-ups: Ren Xuantang, and one each at the True Manifestation Realm Early and Middle Stages.
"AHHH!" The Early Stage cultivator shrieked as his body was shattered into pieces, dying miserably on the spot.
The Middle Stage cultivator was sent flying, spurting blood repeatedly, his aura wilting—clearly grievously wounded.
"Ye Yunfei, you damned brat! I'll fight you to the death!" Facing the avalanche of incoming aerial fist force, Ren Xuantang roared furiously.
BOOM...
Powerful waves of spiritual energy pressure erupted from within his body, his aura skyrocketing instantly. Two white fist imprints materialized simultaneously. They swelled upon encountering the wind, growing larger and larger until they resembled two giant millstones, moving to block the incoming aerial fist force.
THUMP! THUMP!
The two white fist imprints collided with the aerial fist force. Like two balloons, they simply exploded and shattered.
PUFF... PUFF...
Ren Xuantang's figure was jolted violently back dozens of steps. He coughed up blood repeatedly, his face pale. He was a Late Stage True Manifestation Realm expert, the strongest combatant within the Luohai Trading Company. Yet, even facing Ye Yunfei, he lacked the power to resist.
"Ye Yunfei... What will it take for you to spare my Luohai Trading Company? I can offer compensation. We have operated for many years and accumulated massive wealth. I'll give you half of the Luohai Trading Company's entire wealth! Just... spare us." Ren Xuantang clenched his teeth and made the offer.
He knew fighting was hopeless. Continued stubbornness would lead to unthinkable consequences. He had no choice but to bow his head and submit.
HSS! The remaining Luohai Trading Company higher-ups collectively drew in sharp breaths at Ren Xuantang's words. Remember, the Luohai Trading Company was a primarily merchant-oriented force, its business spread across the entire Eastern Region. The wealth it had accumulated was simply terrifying in scale. Half of the Luohai Trading Company's wealth would undoubtedly be a staggering, astronomical sum!
Undeniably, the condition Ren Xuantang offered was extremely tempting.
Both Ren Xuantang and the other higher-ups turned their eyes to Ye Yunfei, feeling considerably more at ease. They believed Ye Yunfei could not possibly refuse.
"Though it's a massive loss of wealth... life is still the most important thing," each higher-up thought privately.
"Actually," Ye Yunfei chuckled contemptuously upon hearing Ren Xuantang's offer, "If I just kill all of you, the entire wealth of the Luohai Trading Company will fall into my hands anyway. Wouldn't that be even better?"
