"What?
They're from the Autumn Wind Group?"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's roar, the expressions of the seven Deities and that Liu Ju instantly changed.
"You're really from the Autumn Wind Group?"
One of the seven Deities asked.
"That's right, we are from the Autumn Wind Group.
You dare provoke members of our Autumn Wind Group? You're asking for death," a man beside the tall middle-aged man said viciously.
"Oh no, we've actually offended the Autumn Wind Group!"
The seven Deities inwardly groaned in despair.
Because they had long heard of this notorious faction.
It was said that every member of the Autumn Wind Group was brutal and savage by nature, with murderous instincts, engaging in bloody professions of robbery, arson, killing for hire—all sorts of death-defying deeds.
Moreover, the people of this faction were extremely cunning and acted mysteriously. Rumors said that several righteous factions had once attempted to join forces to exterminate the Autumn Wind Group, but to this day, no one knew the true location of the Autumn Wind Group's headquarters. So even if someone wanted to wipe out this faction, they wouldn't know where to find them.
And anyone targeted by this faction would be relentlessly hounded, a true fight to the death.
"The Autumn Wind Group... it seems this should be a faction specializing in robbery, murder, and arson.
Generally speaking, such factions are quite troublesome, because they're mostly filled with those audacious, utterly reckless individuals," Hun Lao transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"It's fine. I'm least afraid of vicious fights. Besides, I'm currently in a disguised state; they won't be able to recognize me at all," Ye Yunfei replied with a laugh.
"Sister Ju, these Autumn Wind Group fellows are extremely troublesome. What should we do?"
After learning the identity of these pursuers, the seven Deities all felt somewhat apprehensive.
"What bullshit 'Group'? They will all die."
Right at this moment, Ye Yunfei let out a loud roar. His figure flashed as he charged in front of the person who had just spoken.
A massive golden light sphere rushed out from Ye Yunfei's dantian, forming a terrifying energy field. Simultaneously, he activated the Nine Dragons Supreme Step and the Emperor Heart Method, creating an Emperor Domain.
The combined effect of these two domains instantly caused that Deity's figure to stall.
And at this moment, Hu Miao also unleashed her Illusion Arts. A multitude of intangible illusory realms instantly materialized, enveloping this Deity.
Under the joint suppression of Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao, that Deity immediately felt immense pressure, his movements beginning to slow.
"How is this possible?"
Shocked and furious, this Deity—an Intermediate Void God—was being suppressed by the techniques of a mere Perfected Demigod.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei's fist continuously expanded, carrying terrifying force as it blasted towards him.
After unleashing the Great Divine Strength Fist, Ye Yunfei used his other hand to execute the Imperial Dao Divine Fist. Both fists punched forward together, causing the space where the Intermediate Void God stood to cave in deeply.
"What are you waiting for?
Attack!
Currently, our best course of action is to cooperate with this young master and kill all these Autumn Wind Group people. Only then can we avoid future trouble," Liu Ju, having snapped back to reality, transmitted her voice to the seven Deities.
"Right. Only by killing all these Autumn Wind Group people can we permanently eradicate any future threats."
The seven Deities also came to their senses. No longer hesitating, they immediately charged forward to attack.
With Liu Ju and the seven Deities joining the fray, a great battle instantly erupted.
At this moment, with a *bang*, the Intermediate Void God who had just been attacked by Ye Yunfei was sent flying after just a few moves under the combined efforts of Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao.
Hu Miao was now a Deity, and the Illusion Arts she unleashed could even impose a certain disorienting effect on Intermediate Void Gods, capable of instantly plunging them into layers of illusion.
In clashes between experts, even a moment of disorientation could bring fatal consequences.
Combined with Ye Yunfei's formidable combat prowess, it wasn't long before he managed to send this Intermediate Void God flying.
Then, Ye Yunfei gave chase and teamed up with Hu Miao to deal with this Intermediate Void God.
Ye Yunfei's body had fused with Star Mother Sand, Divine King Fruits, and True Phoenix Divine Fire. His physical quality and strength had increased significantly compared to before entering the True Phoenix Tomb. Even against an Intermediate Void God, he had plenty of leeway. Coupled with Hu Miao's coordination, within a few moves, a single punch blew apart this Intermediate Void God's body.
"Master, I realize our combined combat power isn't a simple one-plus-one increase. It multiplies by at least five or six times," Hu Miao, fighting alongside Ye Yunfei in seamless coordination and defeating enemies one after another, was exhilarated and called out to Ye Yunfei.
"Of course! My Hu Miao's Illusion Arts are not to be taken lightly. Even these Intermediate Void Gods would succumb to them."
"Master, after becoming a Deity, I can finally stand side-by-side with you in battle. For a long time before, I couldn't really help you much."
"You're an Ancient Exotic Beast with noble bloodlines. Becoming a Deity was inevitable, and becoming a Void God is just the beginning. In the future, you'll become an even higher-realm, more powerful Deity," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Of course!" Hu Miao replied, very pleased.
As they spoke, Ye Yunfei had already charged in front of another Primary Void God, blowing him apart with just one punch.
Given Ye Yunfei's current strength, encountering ordinary Primary Void Gods usually meant he could defeat them instantly.
Immediately afterward, Ye Yunfei consecutively blasted apart several more Primary Void Gods, also devouring their Soul Bodies.
Whenever Ye Yunfei made his move, Huang Shang would immediately get ready. Once Ye Yunfei shattered the opponent's body, Huang Shang would rush forward and join Ye Yunfei in attacking the opponent's Soul Body.
Meanwhile, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm specialized in collecting the treasures left behind by these Deities whom Ye Yunfei had shattered.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was extremely fast, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Transforming into a streak of golden light, it would flash by and cleanly snatch away all the valuables left by the Deities, leaving not a single piece of anything valuable behind.
Liu Ju and those seven Deities each engaged members of the Autumn Wind Group, launching fierce attacks.
Thus, of the original eighteen Autumn Wind Group members, eight were tied up by Liu Ju and the seven Deities. The other ten were mostly already blasted apart by Ye Yunfei, and the remaining three or four had lost all will to fight.
Seeing Ye Yunfei's imposing, invincible figure, they dared not step forward to engage him. Instead, seizing the opportunity, they turned to flee.
"Hahaha...
Thinking of escaping now? Don't you think it's a little too late?"
How could Ye Yunfei let them flee so easily? His figure flickered as he unleashed the Nine Dragons Supreme Step to pursue them while simultaneously employing Soul Swords and Intangible Heart Swords to impede the fleeing Autumn Wind Group members.
These Autumn Wind Group members were already terrified by Ye Yunfei's slaughter. Facing a murderous Ye Yunfei, not one of them had the guts to fight him, all frantically trying to escape.
"Damn it! Where did this guy come from?
That little wretch actually found such a terrifying powerhouse. Had we known, we wouldn't have chased her," the Autumn Wind Group members regretted to the extreme at this moment.
Originally, they thought with over ten Deities on their side, dealing with Liu Ju would be easy. Little did they expect such a fearsome character would appear out of nowhere.
So far, eight out of the eighteen Autumn Wind Group members had been killed by Ye Yunfei. Another eight were entangled by Liu Ju and the seven Deities, and the remaining two were desperately trying to flee.
But Ye Yunfei's speed was far faster. He caught up to one of them instantly and, together with Hu Miao, attacked.
This Deity, solely focused on fleeing and filled with panic, could only unleash at most seventy to eighty percent of his strength. In the blink of an eye, after a few moves, Ye Yunfei's fist blasted him apart.
Then, together with Hun Lao, Ye Yunfei annihilated his Soul Body.
At this moment, there was still one Deity desperately fleeing towards the distance.
"Damn it!
I thought that little wretch would be easy to bully, that we could get both riches and beauty. Who would have thought such a terrifying guy would appear halfway, causing so many of our Autumn Wind Group to die.
This grudge must be avenged!
Just wait, I've memorized the auras of these guys clearly. After we leave the True Phoenix Tomb, our Autumn Wind Group will definitely take revenge on these people. Our Autumn Wind Group is not to be trifled with!"
This Deity roared with fury in his heart as he desperately fled into the distance.
However, he was also secretly grateful he hadn't been intercepted. It seemed he might successfully escape.
But at that very moment, five tall, bronze figures suddenly appeared ahead, blocking his path, and simultaneously pounced to attack him.
"These are puppets?
Damn it! How could several such terrifying puppets suddenly appear?
It seems the True Phoenix Tomb is truly fraught with danger everywhere!" the Deity couldn't help but roar lowly.
He didn't know that these five puppets had been placed there in advance by Ye Yunfei, thinking instead that he had just been unlucky to encounter them.
Moreover, the moment these five puppets appeared, he could already sense that they all possessed energy equivalent to Intermediate Void Gods. The moment they charged forward, they launched a ferocious, combined assault on him.
Although this Deity was an Intermediate Void God, facing five puppets with Intermediate Void God strength simultaneously, he stood no chance. In moments, the five puppets swarmed him and utterly shattered his body, even breaking his Soul Body into pieces.
"No! I won't accept this!
My luck has been so good since entering the True Phoenix Tomb, repeatedly obtaining so many precious treasures. I can't just fall here. I must escape!"
After his Soul Body was shattered, this Deity's Remnant Soul fragmented into several pieces, fleeing in different directions. He planned for these fragments to all escape the area, then find a chance to reunite later. As long as his Soul Body remained intact, he wouldn't truly be considered fallen.
Of course, his realm and strength would suffer a massive setback; his realm might even drop. But at the very least, he wouldn't perish right then and there.
However, just at that moment, Huang Shang, along with Ye Yunfei's more than twenty Soul Power Planets, simultaneously appeared, encircling those Remnant Soul fragments before launching an attack.
A longsword radiating powerful Soul Power energy also whistled forth—a Soul Sword unleashed by Ye Yunfei.
Within mere moments, Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang jointly utterly annihilated these Remnant Soul fragments.
And at this time, Ye Yunfei had already turned to assist the seven Deities.
The opponents of the seven Deities, seeing Ye Yunfei had, in such a short time, cut down the majority of their comrades as easily as chopping vegetables, paled in terror, their hearts trembling with fear. They desperately wanted to turn and flee.
But the seven Deities stubbornly entangled them, giving them no chance to escape.
Then Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao rushed over and shattered these Deities one by one.
"Haha, Sister Ju! The danger is over!
Do you believe us now?"
The seven Deities were extremely excited, laughing heartily.
"How is this possible?
A Perfected Demigod actually possesses such heaven-defying strength? Could it be that this person's realm isn't Perfected Demigod, but he's using some highly advanced method to conceal his true realm?
So I misjudged him?"
Having watched Ye Yunfei slay Deity after Deity, Liu Ju was already utterly shocked.
