"Hahaha... Quite right! But it's too late for you to realize that now, old crone. Your time has come!"
At this moment, the appearance of the Xiao Family woman from earlier had completely changed, transforming into a thin, middle-aged man. He reached up and peeled off an exquisitely crafted human skin mask from his face, while his originally curvaceous female figure utterly vanished.
A beauty had become a middle-aged uncle!
"That fellow's disguise technique is truly remarkable," Ye Yunfei, who was watching clearly from a distance, couldn't help but mutter softly in admiration.
"This old woman from the Xiao Family is definitely no match for them. The opponents have so many Heavenly Immortals, and their cultivation and strength aren't inferior to hers," the Remnant Soul transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"What has happened to Huanhuan and Yueyue?!" Liu Laolao, both furious and alarmed, shouted sharply.
"Haha… Need you ask, old crone? To tell you the truth, those twins fell into our hands long ago. But to make doubly sure and cut off any loose ends, an old thing like you must die," a man among the opponents laughed loudly.
"Could it be that Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue have truly been captured?" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown upon hearing this man's words.
"Just who are you people? How dare you move against members of our Xiao Family! Do you truly think our Xiao Family is easy to bully?" Liu Laolao demanded, shocked and enraged.
"Hmph, your Xiao Family's power is indeed not weak, but not everyone is afraid of you," the man snorted coldly.
"It seems I'll have to get involved in this matter," Ye Yunfei said to himself upon hearing this.
"The opponents have so many Heavenly Immortals. How are you going to rescue her? You are no match for these Heavenly Immortals at all," the Remnant Soul told Ye Yunfei.
"If it's not the Black Wind Group who captured Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, then it must be that Zhan Yuan. Although these Heavenly Immortal experts are strong, my goal is to rescue people. So, I just need to find out where Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue are now. Once I know their whereabouts, I'll go rescue them directly. I simply need to avoid head-on confrontations with these Heavenly Immortal experts," Ye Yunfei reasoned after some thought.
With the Time Boots, Ye Yunfei wasn't overly afraid of Heavenly Immortal experts even now. Moreover, his cultivation in the Dao of Time had risen dramatically recently, bolstering his confidence.
"How do you plan to find out where Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue are?" the Remnant Soul asked.
"I don't know, but they do. I'll just go capture a few, then force the information out of them. That should reveal the truth," Ye Yunfei said after a moment's thought, pointing at the people besieging Liu Laolao in the distance.
Those people included Heavenly Immortals and also some Golden Immortals.
Having spent some time with Ye Yunfei, the Remnant Soul knew that once he made a decision, it was difficult to dissuade him, so it simply stopped speaking.
Right then, under the combined assault of several Heavenly Immortal experts among her opponents, Liu Laolao finally could no longer hold out. She was struck, her body sent soaring through the air before crashing down in the distance, spitting blood. Her injuries were clearly severe.
"You thieving curs! I'll fight you to the death!" Liu Laolao scrambled back to her feet, a mix of shock and fury on her face.
The fact that her opponents had so many Heavenly Immortal experts clearly meant they had come prepared. Liu Laolao knew her situation was extremely perilous, but the enemy Heavenly Immortals had already surrounded her on all sides. Even fleeing now would be difficult.
Gripping a longsword in each hand, Liu Laolao swung them madly, unleashing soaring, sharp sword radiance that blossomed like a peacock's fan as she charged toward the Heavenly Immortal experts.
The Xiao Family was an ancient, prestigious clan, and the various secret techniques and cultivation methods passed down within its ranks were quite advanced. Now, fighting with her life on the line, the combat prowess Liu Laolao displayed was formidable.
Liu Laolao knew she had to break out of this encirclement first, only then could she figure out a way to save Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to protect herself.
"Everyone, watch out! She's trying to break out! We must kill her, otherwise there will be endless trouble later! We've all been marked by her aura and the look of our Soul Bodies!" Someone among the surrounding Heavenly Immortal experts shouted, realizing Liu Laolao's intent.
The Heavenly Immortal experts surged forward, attacking Liu Laolao with their full power.
The Golden Immortals at the rear also activated their magical treasures one after another, bombarding Liu Laolao.
Though Liu Laolao's strength was considerable, besieged by so many experts of similar level, she was in a sorry state.
*Swish…*
Just then, Ye Yunfei activated his Time Boots. In a flash, he appeared right beside one of the Golden Immortal experts. Reaching out, a terrifying surge of Immortal Power energy poured forth, instantly subduing and capturing this Golden Immortal expert before transporting him into the Phantom Tower.
"Since I've made a move, I might as well catch a few more," Ye Yunfei thought.
Then, moving swiftly, Ye Yunfei captured four or five more Golden Immortals in succession, imprisoning them all within the Phantom Tower.
"These guys are either from the Black Wind Group or the Zhan Family. Kill them all," Ye Yunfei thought coldly as he looked at the Golden Immortals.
Ye Yunfei knew that both the Black Wind Group and that Zhan Yuan harbored intense killing intent toward him and wouldn't let him off easily. So, when encountering their people now, he naturally wouldn't show any mercy.
*Bam! Bam!*
Ye Yunfei attacked rapidly, killing over a dozen people with single punches in the blink of an eye.
With the Time Boots, Ye Yunfei's movement speed had greatly increased, and the speed of his attacks had also accelerated significantly during combat. As the saying goes, in martial arts, speed reigns supreme. When speed reached a certain level, it formed a terrifying combat force. The dozen or so unfortunate souls didn't even understand what was happening before Ye Yunfei's fist shattered their skulls, killing them on the spot.
Only then did the others realize something was amiss. They turned to look at Ye Yunfei in surprise. Even the Heavenly Immortals besieging Liu Laolao glanced in his direction.
"It's that Ye kid!" After clearly seeing Ye Yunfei, the men shouted in surprise.
"I've learned from the Dark Faction that this Ye kid hails from a remote world cluster called the Three Thousand Worlds!"
"How insolent! A kid from a remote world cluster dares to oppose us!"
They were both shocked and furious, especially seeing the dozen headless corpses Ye Yunfei had left behind. It made them realize Ye Yunfei's combat power was anything but ordinary.
"It's him!" Liu Laolao also recognized Ye Yunfei.
"Everyone, attack together! Kill this brat!" a Heavenly Immortal yelled.
There were at least over a hundred of these people. Although Ye Yunfei had killed over a dozen, many remained. Now they all began to converge on Ye Yunfei.
"Let's join forces and kill this old woman from the Xiao Family first!" the Heavenly Immortal experts intended to continue besieging Liu Laolao.
"Kid, prepare to die!" By now, the others, led by a Perfected Golden Immortal who roared while brandishing two heavy broadswords, were already charging at Ye Yunfei with murderous intent.
Ye Yunfei threw a punch directly at him. The speed of his strike was astonishing, reaching the Perfected Golden Immortal's chest before he could even react.
"So fast!" Startled by Ye Yunfei's speed, the Perfected Golden Immortal barely managed to block the punch with his two broadswords. However, he underestimated Ye Yunfei's physical strength.
Ye Yunfei's physical strength erupted, and with one punch, he sent the two broadswords flying. Then, with a wave of his hand, he slashed out a massive sword beam, directly cleaving the Perfected Golden Immortal's body in two. Even his Soul Body was shattered, perishing on the spot.
Ye Yunfei's current combat power was already equivalent to a Heavenly Immortal's. Even facing a Primary Heavenly Immortal head-on wouldn't be a problem. Killing a Perfected Golden Immortal was, of course, effortless.
"You want to kill me? Then I'll kill all of you," Ye Yunfei said coldly. He had no patience for these enemies.
Since his rebirth, Ye Yunfei had cultivated a decisive, ruthless character throughout his journey. When facing foes, he eliminated them thoroughly, never harboring any mercy.
Next, Ye Yunfei used his movement technique. With every step, he invariably appeared in front of an opponent, then threw a punch, smashing that person's skull.
With the Time Boots, Ye Yunfei's speed was too astonishing. His opponents couldn't even perceive his movement trajectory. Only when he appeared right before them, with his fist already approaching their heads, did they sense his arrival. But by then, it was too late. In the next instant, their heads were shattered by Ye Yunfei's fist.
Thus, moving at an astounding speed and delivering one punch per kill, Ye Yunfei slaughtered fifty or sixty of his opponents in mere breaths. And these were all Golden Immortals.
"The Time Boots accelerate your speed while also affecting the flow of time in the space around your opponents, slowing them down. That's why you can kill them so easily. These Time Boots are truly a magnificent treasure," Hun Lao remarked.
"Indeed," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
While speeding him up, the Time Boots also influenced the speed of his opponents, slowing them down. This combination of fast and slow gave Ye Yunfei an even greater advantage, allowing him to kill with ease.
"This is nothing. The Time Boots are a Demigod level treasure. Although you've refined them, you can't yet exert their full power. As your realm and strength increase in the future, their power will grow even stronger," the Remnant Soul said.
"Kid, stop right there!" At this point, the Heavenly Immortals finally realized something was seriously wrong. In such a short time, most of the men they had brought had already been killed by Ye Yunfei.
"Those who kill shall be killed. This is just the interest," Ye Yunfei sneered.
*Bam! Bam! Bam!...*
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei's figure flickered as he continued killing, delivering punches with blinding speed, taking out another dozen or so lives in rapid succession.
The others desperately wanted to dodge, but Ye Yunfei was too fast and his power far surpassed theirs. All they could do was watch helplessly as Ye Yunfei appeared before them, smashed their skulls with a fist, and then they lost consciousness.
"Kid, you're courting death!" The Heavenly Immortals witnessing this scene were livid, their eyes bulging with rage as they roared.
"Though this kid's cultivation realm is low, his speed is too fast. We must stop him, otherwise he'll slaughter all our people!" a Heavenly Immortal shouted.
"You all keep dealing with that old Xiao Family woman. I'll handle this kid!" an Intermediate Heavenly Immortal declared.
*Swish!*
The Intermediate Heavenly Immortal charged toward Ye Yunfei.
Even before arriving, he unleashed a terrifying pressure of energy that rolled forth like a vast ocean.
"Kid! You're fast on your feet, huh? But I'll seal this space! Let's see how you use your speed then!" the Intermediate Heavenly Immortal bellowed.
"You alone can't seal me," Ye Yunfei sneered, activating the Time Boots. A surge of powerful temporal energy erupted as his figure flickered and vanished, reappearing far away in an instant.
Though the Intermediate Heavenly Immortal's sealing energy was strong, the Time Boots were a Demigod level treasure and remained utterly unaffected.
"How is that possible?" The Intermediate Heavenly Immortal was shocked to see Ye Yunfei seemingly unhindered by his energy pressure.
Under normal circumstances, a Golden Immortal facing an Intermediate Heavenly Immortal's energy pressure would probably be instantly crushed to the ground, unable to move, or even gravely injured. Yet Ye Yunfei was completely unscathed.
"Kid! Where do you think you're escaping to?!" The Intermediate Heavenly Immortal flew into a rage and gave chase.
But Ye Yunfei's speed was too great. He kept shifting his position, teleporting every time. It seemed as if reaching any location required no time at all—a mere thought brought him there immediately.
The Intermediate Heavenly Immortal chased him back and forth several times but couldn't even touch a hair on Ye Yunfei's head.
Fuming with rage, the Intermediate Heavenly Immortal hopped up and down in fury, utterly helpless.
"Excellent. With the Time Boots, even if I encounter an Intermediate Heavenly Immortal in the future, I won't need to fear. Even if I can't defeat them, I can evade them with ease," Ye Yunfei thought, immensely pleased with the Time Boots.
"Young man, lend me a hand. I need to get away from here," Ye Yunfei suddenly received a Sound Transmission.
It was Liu Laolao's voice.
"I don't want to get involved in your matters," Ye Yunfei replied coolly after a moment's thought and a sweeping glance at Liu Laolao.
During their last encounter, this Liu Laolao hadn't been particularly pleasant to him. Despite him protecting Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, none of the Xiao Family members, including Liu Laolao, had expressed a word of gratitude; instead, they had been full of suspicion and skepticism.
Thus, Ye Yunfei held no fondness for the Xiao Family.
"I must escape quickly so I can find a way to rescue Huanhuan and Yueyue. So, for Huanhuan and Yueyue's sake, help me get away from here," Liu Laolao transmitted.
"Alright then. For Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue's sake, I'll help you this once," Ye Yunfei replied after some thought.
Because Ye Yunfei genuinely hoped Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue were safe.
In the next instant, Ye Yunfei's figure flickered and he appeared, with astonishing speed, not far from Liu Laolao. With a wave of his hand, he hurled out hundreds of Golden Immortal level magical treasures. Every one of these treasures was inscribed with advanced formation patterns, constituting several dozen sophisticated combat formations. All these formations erupted simultaneously now, releasing an immense pressure of energy like a bursting flood, crashing toward the Heavenly Immortals encircling Liu Laolao.
"Kid! You're courting death!" the Heavenly Immortals, shocked and furious that Ye Yunfei dared to attack them, retaliated together.
*Boom! Boom!...*
The Heavenly Immortals struck out at the treasures. Most were smashed to pieces and utterly destroyed by the force of their blows.
"Mark my words! Our Xiao Family will avenge this insult! I will definitely uncover your identities!" Right then, Liu Laolao declared coldly. Taking advantage of the Heavenly Immortants' momentary distraction, she executed an extremely advanced movement secret technique, shifting her position like a shadow, broke through the encirclement, and fled toward the distance.
Distracted for that brief moment, the Heavenly Immortants were enraged by Liu Laolao's escape and immediately gave chase.
*Boom! Boom!...*
Ye Yunfei waved his hand again, tossing out hundreds more Golden Immortal level treasures that formed over a dozen combat formations, unleashing roiling formation power that bombarded the pursuing Heavenly Immortals.
"Damn it! Brat, you're dead!" The Heavenly Immortants roared furiously.
But in that instant of opportunity, Liu Laolao had already escaped far away.
"I'll make you pay for this!" a Heavenly Immortal, his face contorted with rage, charged at Ye Yunfei.
"Heh... Just you wait," Ye Yunfei, having been prepared, let out a cold laugh, then turned and vanished, appearing in the distance in an instant.
"Chase him! Don't let that brat escape! I won't rest until I kill him!" someone shouted, and immediately quite a few began pursuing Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei employed his Time Boots and Space Teleportation Token in combination, and within moments, he vanished without a trace.
The pursuers left behind couldn't even perceive which direction he had gone.
