Weren't you just in agreement?
Ye Yunfei looked at the woman as he asked the question, completely ignoring the pursuers encircling them. To him, eight Perfected Golden Immortals could be wiped out with a wave of his hand.
I didn't know your strength earlier," the woman retorted with annoyance. "With a cultivation base like yours, how could you possibly help us?
Set your mind at ease," Ye Yunfei said indifferently. "If you lend me those two tokens for half a day, I guarantee your safety.
Is that for real?" Seeing Ye Yunfei's confident demeanor despite being surrounded, the woman couldn't help but feel a flicker of curiosity.
Of course it is. But I won't force you. If you don't wish to make the deal, I'll leave now.
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ha ha... This kid is hilarious, a complete idiot. His mind doesn't seem quite right.
He actually fantasizes about rescuing people from within our encirclement!
With his power level, he couldn't withstand a single blow before us, yet he has the nerve to discuss saving people right in front of us as if we aren't even here!
If this brat isn't putting up a brave front, then he's definitely a fool!
...
The members of Heavenly God Hall listened to the conversation between Ye Yunfei and the woman and couldn't hold back their laughter, believing Ye Yunfei was overestimating himself.
Brat! We are from Heavenly God Hall! If you don't want to bring disaster upon your clansmen and your master behind you, kneel down immediately and commit suicide to atone for your crime! If you make us do it ourselves, I'll memorize the aura of your Soul Body. After we leave this Void Secret Realm, I'll send someone to investigate your origins. Then I'll exterminate your family, your sect, and everyone closely connected to you will be implicated.
Believe me, with the power of our Heavenly God Hall within the Chaotic Void Sea, we can accomplish this easily!" one of them pointed at Ye Yunfei and declared.
Are you threatening me? Ye Yunfei's face darkened as he spoke coldly.
You brat" The man took a step forward, raising his voice sharply, about to say something more.
Aaah!
Suddenly, the man let out a miserable shriek, his body hurtling backward, blood gushing from all his orifices, before he crashed headfirst into the ground in the distance. His head lolled to the side, and he died on the spot, his life force rapidly fading.
What happened?
Everyone was startled. That man had been a High-Level Golden Immortal, yet he was instantly slain. Crucially, none of them could discern what method Ye Yunfei had used to kill him.
Be careful everyone, this kid is strange! one of the Perfected Golden Immortals growled in a low voice.
Sis, he's amazing! Seeing Ye Yunfei suddenly employ a bizarre technique to kill someone, the siblings were both shocked and delighted. The younger brother immediately transmitted a sound to his sister.
Young Master, I agree. We'll hand our two Heartforce Tokens over to you! Feeling a sliver of hope to escape their predicament, the sister immediately sent a sound transmission to Ye Yunfei.
Young Master, even if you can't save both of us, if you can rescue my younger brother, we'll give you both of our Heartforce Tokens! she added.
Deal, Ye Yunfei replied.
In truth, this woman had already agreed once before, but after Ye Yunfei revealed himself and she saw his cultivation realm, she became doubtful.
Let's move! Kill the two men first, then capture the woman. They have two Heartforce Tokens on them. If others find out, they might come to snatch them from us.
This city is in complete chaos right now; fighting is everywhere! one of the Heavenly God Hall members shouted.
Right! Let's attack together and deal with this punk. Don't be afraid of him. Although his technique is strange, his cultivation realm is low, so no matter how strong he is, there are limits. There are so many of us; why should we fear him alone! someone else followed with a yell.
Boom...
The surrounding Heavenly God Hall members all released their energy auras one after another, like erupting volcanoes, shaking the entire street. The violent energy swept out, nearly shattering the buildings flanking the roadway. However, there seemed to be some protective restriction within this city, as profound runes shimmered into view, shielding the entire street and all its structures.
Kid, die! A High-Level Golden Immortal had stealthily circled behind Ye Yunfei. He now erupted into action, gripping a massive mountain-splitting axe that continuously enlarged, carrying terrifying energy as it cleaved toward Ye Yunfei.
Careful! There's a sneak attack!" The siblings saw it clearly and shouted a warning simultaneously.
Ye Yunfei was their only hope for escape now; they didn't want to see him get hit.
Aaah…
Before the siblings' shouts had even finished echoing, the High-Level Golden Immortal let out a shrill scream and flew backward, crashing into the ground in the distance. Blood flowed from all seven orifices as he convulsed violently.
Boom! Boom!
At the same time the High-Level Golden Immortal launched his sneak attack, the other Heavenly God Hall members also moved, unleashing a barrage of ferocious attacks toward Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei didn't even look. With a mere thought, he executed the Formless Heart Sword, launching indiscriminate attacks.
The speed of a Mental Force energy attack was far faster than that of Soul Power.
In an instant, the Formless Heart Sword struck almost all of the surrounding Heavenly God Hall members simultaneously.
Aah! Aaah! Aaaaah!
Shrieks rang out continuously one after another. Bodies of Heavenly God Hall members were sent flying, crashing onto the street pavement below. Some died miserable deaths on the spot; others clung to their last breath, convulsing; others shrieked in agony...
In that single moment, most of the Heavenly God Hall forces had been dealt with.
Only the eight Perfected Golden Immortals remained standing there, faces pale and bodies trembling slightly.
Trickles of blood seeped from the corners of their mouths, their expressions filled with shock and horror.
They too had been struck by the Formless Heart Sword. However, because Ye Yunfei had attacked so many targets simultaneously, the power of the strikes had diminished somewhat, allowing them to hold on for the moment.
How is this possible? The eight Perfected Golden Immortals stared at the Heavenly God Hall members littering the ground around them, unable to believe their eyes.
They finally understood the terror of the young man before them. Because they knew in their hearts they definitely couldn't have accomplished such a feat themselves.
So powerful! Sis, I never imagined he'd be this strong! Witnessing this scene, the siblings were utterly shocked. The younger brother transmitted excitedly.
Yes, it seems we are saved! The sister was also extremely excited, nodding repeatedly.
Attack together! The eight Perfected Golden Immortals exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and spoke in low voices simultaneously.
However, before they could even make a move, Ye Yunfei unleashed the Formless Heart Sword once more.
Aah…
Almost simultaneously, the eight Perfected Golden Immortals cried out in pain, staggering backward with ghastly pale faces, blood streaming from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths.
What kind of technique is this? It's too bizarre, too terrifying! The siblings felt a chill run through their hearts as they watched.
Now, you can go die.
Ye Yunfei strode confidently toward the eight Perfected Golden Immortals.
Quick, flee! Knowing they were absolutely no match for Ye Yunfei, the eight Perfected Golden Immortals let out low roars in unison, turned, and fled separately toward opposite ends of the street.
Thinking of running now? Too late. Ye Yunfei sneered.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei activated his Time Boots. His figure blurred as he gave chase, instantly appearing behind one of the Perfected Golden Immortals. A single punch blasted the man's body into a mist of blood.
Then, with every step Ye Yunfei took, he caught up to another Perfected Golden Immortal and punched them to death.
In less time than it takes to breathe, the remaining seven Perfected Golden Immortals were all slain!
All members of Heavenly God Hall had been exterminated!
Only the gory remnants of flesh and rivers of blood remained on the street!
He's too terrifying! At this moment, the siblings stared at Ye Yunfei with extreme awe, their bodies trembling slightly.
Sis, this person is too scary. After killing so ferociously, will he turn on us? the younger brother transmitted worriedly.
We shouldn't need to fear. I already struck a deal with him. He rescues us, we give him the two tokens," the sister replied, forcing herself to stay calm.
In reality, her heart was also uneasy. Having witnessed Ye Yunfei's terrifying strength, she knew that with his power, he could have easily seized their belongings without any negotiation.
Be polite when you speak to him later. Remember, on no account anger him! He's even more frightening than these Heavenly God Hall people! the sister transmitted a reminder.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After finishing off the Heavenly God Hall members, Huang Shang and the Blood Clan doppelganger appeared simultaneously, rushing toward the blood and soul fragments left behind by the eight Perfected Golden Immortals and began refining and absorbing them.
Ye Yunfei had exercised great control during the fight. While killing these eight Perfected Golden Immortals, he had taken care not to damage their bloodline essence and soul essence, specifically leaving them for the doppelganger and Huang Shang.
A ghost cultivator, and a Blood Clan member! Seeing Huang Shang and the Blood Clan doppelganger, the siblings were shocked anew.
You two" Ye Yunfei turned to face the siblings and began speaking.
Here are the two Heartforce Tokens. They're yours! We're true to our word, you can be assured!" Before Ye Yunfei could finish, the sister had already pulled out two Heartforce Tokens and placed them before Ye Yunfei, speaking quickly.
May we two leave now? the woman asked.
Both siblings felt somewhat uneasy facing Ye Yunfei. Primarily, the method he had just used to kill people was far too bizarre. They had no idea what technique or secret art Ye Yunfei had employed to slaughter so many Heavenly God Hall members instantly. The eight Perfected Golden Immortals had seemed as weak as eight little chicks before him.
In the eyes of these siblings, Ye Yunfei seemed akin to a humanoid ferocious beast.
You two, wait a moment. Don't leave just yet." Ye Yunfei took the two Heartforce Tokens and spoke.
Why? We've given you the tokens, what more do you intend to do? Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the siblings were frightened.
They seem quite afraid of you," Hun Lao chuckled from within.
Do not misunderstand. I won't take your tokens; I'm only borrowing them for half a day. Once I'm done, I will return them to you," Ye Yunfei said with a faint smile.
Young Master, are you… speaking the truth? The siblings exchanged glances, the sister asking tentatively.
It must be understood that within this city at this moment, countless beings were engaged in brutal slaughter for the sake of seizing these tokens.
Furthermore, nearly everyone who had entered the Void Secret Realm and survived until now had likely gained some harvest, meaning almost everyone carried treasures.
Consequently, murder to seize treasures was becoming increasingly common.
Before encountering Ye Yunfei, the siblings had witnessed many such incidents, so naturally, they were very wary of him.
Of course it is true. You can rest assured. I, too, keep my word, Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
Sis, this person seems reasonable, doesn't seem like an utterly wicked sort," the younger brother transmitted.
Then let's wait here for now. If he doesn't intend to make things difficult for us, waiting for him here shouldn't be dangerous. If he does intend to cause trouble, we probably couldn't escape even if we tried," the sister thought it over and transmitted her decision.
Alright, since that's the case, we shall follow your wishes, Young Master, and wait a while," the woman spoke, her words extremely courteous, striving to avoid provoking Ye Yunfei.
Very well.
Ye Yunfei nodded, then walked to a secluded spot beside the street. With a wave of his hand, he instantly set up dozens of Formations, carving out a small Formations space, and entered it to begin comprehending the two tokens.
The two tokens floated before Ye Yunfei. His two Soul Bodies simultaneously began their comprehension without interfering with each other.
Ye Yunfei understood that as time passed, the beings trapped in this city would undoubtedly fight more viciously for the Heartforce Tokens, as it was related to their ability to leave this bizarre city.
He estimated that many malicious individuals would likely be looting and killing anyone they encountered within the city.
Ye Yunfei was concerned that during his comprehension, Heavenly Immortal level experts might appear, so he set up dozens of Formations for protection.
Sis, look! He seems to be comprehending the two tokens! But I tried perceiving them before and sensed nothing. Those tokens don't seem to contain any profound Mental Force Laws," the younger brother transmitted.
How could your perception compare to his? What you can't perceive, he might sense with ease. He's specifically seeking these Heartforce Tokens to comprehend, which means he must be able to perceive what lies hidden within.
He has terrifying strength and exceptional talent. I wonder which major faction he hails from? the sister mused.
Huh? Sis, the more I look at him, the more familiar he seems. Have I seen him somewhere before? the younger brother suddenly uttered in surprise.
Seen him before? the sister was taken aback.
Ah! I remember! Sis, look! Isn't he exactly the target on these two bounty notices! the younger brother cried out in shock. He then pointed a finger, sending a stream of Soul Power information into his sister's mind sea.
You're right! It's definitely him! the sister was also astonished.
Forget it. Let's try not to inquire about his affairs. His strength is too bizarre and terrifying; we're better off not provoking him," the sister added after a moment.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, most of the day had passed.
Ye Yunfei was nearing the end of his comprehension of the two Heartforce Tokens.
Right at that moment…
Look! There are three youngsters in this street! Two young men and a woman!
A voice rang out.
Then, a group of people rushed into the street, their gazes locking onto Ye Yunfei and the siblings.
Not good! Sis, there are three Heavenly Immortal experts! Looks like one Intermediate Heavenly Immortal and two Primary Heavenly Immortals!
The situation is extremely dangerous! We have to flee immediately! Let's escape down the other end of the street!" The younger brother looked at the newcomers and instantly paled drastically.
Within this group, there were actually three Heavenly Immortals!
But… Young Master is in closed-door cultivation comprehending the tokens. If we just leave, he'll be caught completely off guard. His situation would be extremely perilous," the sister said, glancing at Ye Yunfei, who was seated nearby in tranquil meditation.
Sis, we can't afford to worry about that anymore! If we don't go now, it'll be too late! With our strength, we can't protect him!" The younger brother anxiously urged.
Young Master, three Heavenly Immortal experts have arrived! We must leave immediately, the sister transmitted a frantic warning to Ye Yunfei.
Look! That kid has two tokens in front of him! Ha ha! Perfect! This is truly like finding something without even looking for it after exhausting all efforts!" By now, the newcomers had spotted the two Heartforce Tokens floating before Ye Yunfei. Overjoyed, they began shouting.
Surround those three! Don't let them escape! a Primary Heavenly Immortal bellowed.
The others immediately charged toward Ye Yunfei and the siblings.
Sis, we need to go! the younger brother cried out in fright.
Yet, the sister still hesitated for a second.
At that moment…
Ye Yunfei suddenly stood up. With a wave of his hand, he withdrew all dozens of Formations he had previously set up.
‘After comprehending two more tokens, my level of Mental Force Laws has risen another significant step!’ Ye Yunfei thought to himself, feeling quite satisfied.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei appeared beside the siblings.
My thanks to you both. These two tokens are now returned to their original owners, Ye Yunfei said, handing the two tokens to the sister.
But we are facing powerful enemies…" the sister said urgently.
No need for concern. They cannot hold us here.
Ye Yunfei smiled.
As his Mental Force energy and Mental Force Laws continued to rise, Ye Yunfei's confidence grew. Even facing Heavenly Immortal experts, he wouldn't panic.
Whoosh! Whoosh…
Ye Yunfei activated his will, unleashing the Formless Heart Sword.
Aah! Aaaah…
One after another, the charging figures shrieked in agony, blood streaming from their orifices before they collapsed to the ground, dead on the spot.
Let's go.
Ye Yunfei flicked his sleeve, enveloping the siblings, and spoke.
In the next instant…
Whoosh! Ye Yunfei shot into the distance with the siblings in tow, vanishing down the street.
Roar… After them!
Watching their subordinates fail to hold Ye Yunfei back and instead see over twenty of them slain in an instant, the three Heavenly Immortals were both shocked and furious. They roared and took the lead in pursuing the direction Ye Yunfei had fled.
Sis! He got us out! We're safe! As Ye Yunfei carried them at high speed, the siblings were shocked and overjoyed, understanding they were now safe. The younger brother transmitted excitedly.
A short while later…
Ye Yunfei brought the siblings to another street, releasing them.
Alright. We've shaken off the pursuers. Here are your two tokens." Ye Yunfei pushed the two Heartforce Tokens back into the sister's hands.
After speaking, Ye Yunfei turned to leave.
Wait, Young Master…" Seeing Ye Yunfei depart, the sister gritted her teeth and called out.
