As soon as his words fell.
Swish!
A pitch-black dagger abruptly appeared, carrying immense energy as it shot towards the gray-robed elder with thunderous speed.
With his enhanced Soul Power, the flying sword technique Ye Yunfei employed now possessed astonishing lethality.
"Ye Yunfei, I'll fight you to the death!" the gray-robed elder roared, slamming out a palm. Spiritual power surged, and the phantom of a Devouring Heaven Python materialized, lunging forward to block.
Roar!
The python’s demonic aura towered to the heavens, its roar shaking the skies as it released vast clouds of azure mist.
Swish!
The Void Blade flashed past, instantly cleaving the Devouring Heaven Python in two and causing it to explode violently.
"Bad news!"
The gray-robed elder's face paled in alarm, and his figure shot back in retreat.
The combat prowess Ye Yunfei displayed was utterly terrifying.
Even in his shock, the elder felt a deep sense of unwillingness. How could this junior rise at such a dreadful speed? In a single move, he had been forced into such a pathetic state.
Swish!
After severing the python, the Void Blade's momentum didn't falter in the slightest. It continued towards the gray-robed elder with astonishing speed.
"No!"
The gray-robed elder cried out. He never expected this black dagger to be so terrifying. He unleashed every means at his disposal, even retrieving a Primal-tier magical treasure to defend himself.
But it was useless.
Swish!
The Void Blade pierced through all his defenses, spearing his heart and passing straight through his body.
A single move! A mid-stage True Manifestation Realm expert was instantly slain!
"Ye Yunfei, how ruthless you are."
With complicated emotions in his eyes, the gray-robed elder looked at Ye Yunfei in his dying moments, his heart filled with utter unwillingness.
Then, his body slowly slid down, its vitality extinguished.
"It's Ye Yunfei! Weren't they saying he was dead?"
"Did he come to take revenge on the Chen Clan?"
"How is this possible? In such a short time, he's already grown this powerful!"
"Heavens! Instantly slaying a True Manifestation Realm expert! Such strength is too terrifying!"
...
By now, the onlookers finally realized that this fearsome young man before them was the legendary Ye Yunfei.
Instantly, the entire scene erupted with gasps of shock and awe.
"Members of the Chen Clan, come out! The debt between I, Ye Yunfei, and your Chen Clan is long overdue for reckoning!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly shouted, his roar like a tsunami of sound waves that surged directly into the Chen Clan headquarters.
The heavens and earth trembled; the very sky boomed!
"So domineering! He actually dares to block the main gates of the Chen Clan headquarters and openly provoke them!"
"Probably in the entire Eastern Region, only Ye Yunfei would dare do something like this!"
...
Countless people voiced their shock. This was the Chen Clan headquarters, a great clan of the Eastern Region! Someone actually had the gall to stand before their gates and issue a challenge. This was an absolutely stunning, earth-shattering event that had never occurred before!
"Insolence!"
"You impudent brat!"
"Ye Yunfei, since you're not dead, you should have found a place to hide and laid low. Yet you dare to come here and provoke our Chen Clan so brazenly! You're simply seeking death!"
...
Within the Chen Clan headquarters, all the high-ranking members exploded with rage. They could no longer contain themselves, storming out of their secluded chambers.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
One True Manifestation Realm expert after another soared into the air and charged out.
Over a hundred such experts appeared simultaneously. Each radiated terrifying spiritual pressure as they streaked across the sky towards Ye Yunfei's position.
Boom! Boom!
The sheer number of them unleashing their pressure at once was horrifying. The very heavens and earth around them shook, seemingly unable to bear the load.
The watching crowd backed away in fear, terrified of being caught in the crossfire. Being injured or killed accidentally by the fury of these Chen Clan elites meant there would be nowhere to lament.
"Look! All the big shots of the Chen Clan are coming out!"
Exclamations erupted from the crowd.
A total of over one hundred and thirty True Manifestation Realm experts surrounded Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao. Each wore an ashen, furious expression and a frosty gaze.
Their eyes locked onto Ye Yunfei with murderous intensity.
No matter the final outcome, today's events would undoubtedly spread across the entire Eastern Region. The Chen Clan's reputation would suffer a steep decline, even turning them into a laughingstock. A junior had come to block the gates of their headquarters...
"Ye Yunfei, you have great courage indeed! How dare you come to Chen City, destroy our walls, and kill our clan members!"
An elder with white hair and beard fixed his cold gaze on Ye Yunfei.
"Old fool, you talk too much rubbish," Ye Yunfei replied with a faint smile.
He had already come to their doorstep killing people. What use were such words?
"If we're going to fight, then let's fight," Ye Yunfei stated, taking a step forward.
"So be it. Then we shall fight," the white-haired elder proclaimed loudly. "Everyone, the little thief Ye Yunfei's combat power is exceptional. There's no need to stand on ceremony or chivalry. Attack together and kill him as one!"
"Good! Let's attack together!"
"If we don't kill this little thief, the shame suffered by our Chen Clan can never be washed clean!"
The other True Manifestation Realm experts of the Chen Clan all voiced their agreement.
Everyone knew the grudge between the Chen Clan and Ye Yunfei was one of life and death, with no room for holding back.
Boom! Rumble…
When over a hundred True Manifestation Realm experts attacked simultaneously, the sight was utterly terrifying. A vast, oceanic torrent of spiritual pressure surged outwards.
Violent spiritual power filled the air within dozens of miles, shaking the very earth and mountains and raising clouds of dust.
"Haha... Then let us battle in full!"
Ye Yunfei laughed wildly. His violent physical strength erupted, causing the surrounding air to compress and explode with continuous, thunderous detonations.
He activated both the Heaven-Devouring Blood-Tempering Physique Art and the Greenwood Emperor Body simultaneously. The result was both a boiling of blood and aura alongside a brilliant radiance of green light.
The Five Elements Spirit Swords and the Void Blade also appeared simultaneously, hovering beside Ye Yunfei and emanating astonishing killing intent.
"KILL!"
The over one hundred Chen Clan True Manifestation Realm experts charged from all directions.
"SLAY!"
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger. The Five Elements Spirit Swords and the Void Blade shot out, instantly tearing an early-stage True Manifestation Realm expert limb from limb, grinding him to pieces.
Single Thought Births Demon!
Ye Yunfei fixed his attention on a mid-stage True Manifestation Realm expert charging in the front. Instantly, a demon overflowing with baleful aura appeared within the expert's soul sea.
"Ah!"
The mid-stage expert immediately shrieked in agony, blood flowing from his mouth, ears, eyes, and nose simultaneously.
Ye Yunfei threw a punch across the distance, blasting him into fragments.
The battle had barely begun, and the Chen Clan had already lost two True Manifestation Realm experts instantly!
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei activated his Heavenly Shadow Robe, leaving numerous afterimages in his wake. At a glance, over a dozen phantom images of Ye Yunfei flickered across the battlefield.
It became impossible to tell which was real and which was false.
Ye Yunfei's movement speed was simply too fast.
The Chen Clan experts kept attacking desperately, but for the moment, they couldn't land a hit on him at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
While swiftly shifting position, Ye Yunfei sent three lightning-fast punches with his right fist.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Each punch blasted a single early-stage True Manifestation Realm expert to death!
"Die, you little thief Ye Yunfei!"
A late-stage True Manifestation Realm expert locked onto Ye Yunfei's true body with his Soul Power and charged. He held twin blades in his hands, slashing towards Ye Yunfei.
Waves of blade radiance surged forward like a raging tide to engulf Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei employed Single Thought Births Demon.
Immediately, the late-stage expert's body convulsed violently. His face contorted in pain as he wailed in agony.
Bam!
Ye Yunfei took a single step to appear before him and threw a fist, shattering him into pieces.
"SLAY!"
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger. The Five Elements Spirit Swords and the Void Blade shot forward, tearing a mid-stage True Manifestation Realm expert limb from limb.
With Ye Yunfei's current combat power, killing True Manifestation Realm experts was far too simple.
His physical strength, the Five Elements Spirit Swords, the Void Blade, and Single Thought Births Demon—each of these methods could easily overpower True Manifestation Realm experts.
Now that Ye Yunfei was employing all of them, the sheer lethality he displayed was indescribable.
Ah! Ah!
On the battlefield, screams erupted one after another.
True Manifestation Realm expert after True Manifestation Realm expert died miserably.
In mere moments,
over forty True Manifestation Realm experts had been slain by Ye Yunfei!
It was as easy as slaughtering chickens or dogs!
In the distance, the watching crowd members felt chills crawl down their spines as they looked at Ye Yunfei as if he were a peerless demon.
"The little thief Ye Yunfei's combat power is too terrifying. If this continues, he'll kill us all! Quickly, activate our Chen Clan's Flood-Grade Treasure!"
Finally, terror gripped the hearts of the Chen Clan True Manifestation Realm experts. Someone shouted in desperation.
Boom!
A Flood-Grade Treasure was activated, spraying glorious light and releasing an energy pressure that instantly drained the color from the heavens and earth!
