The middle-aged man threw out another three treasures and activated them instantly.
A massive energy hand, along with the three Deity-level treasures, completely surrounded the two sisters, leaving them with nowhere to flee.
The short-statured middle-aged man, hands clasped behind his back, walked step by step until he stood before the two sisters. His greedy eyes roamed incessantly over their slim and well-proportioned figures.
"Excellent, exactly my type! And they're sisters—a rare find indeed! Looks like my luck with women hasn't run dry lately. You two don't need to resist. Just come along quietly. Throughout these years, no woman I've set my eyes on has ever managed to escape." The middle-aged man assessed their bodies, his eyes gleaming as he chuckled lewdly.
"Come on, let me get a good feel." He then reached out a hand directly toward Xiao Yueyue's body.
"Get away from me, you disgusting creature!" Xiao Yueyue screamed in fright.
"Scream away, scream louder. The louder you scream, the more I like it," the middle-aged man's voice dripped with obscenity.
"Huanhuan-jie, let's be sisters again in our next life." Feeling utterly hopeless, two lines of crystalline tears streamed down Xiao Yueyue's face as she sent a mental message to Xiao Huanhuan.
Xiao Huanhuan didn't know how to respond, for she herself had already resolved to commit suicide. She understood all too well that if she and her sister fell into this man's hands, they would suffer all manner of humiliation and indignities.
"Huanhuan-jie, for some reason, I suddenly miss Young Master Ye. If only he were here. If he were here, he would definitely keep us safe." Xiao Yueyue said through her tears.
Right at that moment.
"Dare to touch my friends? You have quite the nerve. Just how many lives do you have for me to take?"
A calm voice rang out, followed by a figure approaching at a shocking speed from the distance.
"Who dares speak to me like that?" The middle-aged man flew into a rage upon hearing it and whirled around abruptly.
Then he laid eyes on a familiar face. His complexion instantly turned deathly pale, his entire body chilling as if he had fallen into a ten-thousand-year ice pit.
"How... how can it be that little killing god Ye Yunfei? Why is he here?" Fear and trepidation seized the middle-aged man's heart, even causing his body to tremble slightly.
Ye Yunfei's movement speed was simply too fast. No sooner had his words fallen than he arrived beside Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue. With a flick of his sleeve, he sent the three Deity-level treasures flying. Then, he swung his palm upward, *pfft*, directly smashing the colossal energy hand into nothingness.
The terrifying force from Ye Yunfei's attack sent the middle-aged man staggering back several steps.
"He's only a Demigod, so why does he possess such dreadful strength?" Seeing Ye Yunfei arrive and casually destroy his treasures and the energy hand he had conjured, the man cried out inwardly with bitter resentment. Then, he turned and fled.
He knew full well that with his own power, there was absolutely no way he could be a match for Ye Yunfei. He was only a Primary Void God, while Ye Yunfei had already slaughtered many Primary Void Gods of the Guardian Faction before, even killing Intermediate Void Gods. His fearsome reputation was long established.
"And where do you think you're fleeing to?"
Xiao Ziming had been following closely behind Ye Yunfei. At this moment, he intercepted the middle-aged man.
"Die!"
Having worried for the better part of the day before finally finding the two sisters, Xiao Ziming was seething with rage. With a furious roar, seeing the man trying to escape, he charged forward to attack directly.
"Young Master Ye... is it really you? Have you come to save us? Am I... dreaming?"
The sudden turn of events had left Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue utterly dumbstruck. They stood there, trembling all over with excitement, yet they couldn't quite believe it.
Just moments ago, they had been completely hopeless, resolved to die. Suddenly, Ye Yunfei had descended like a celestial savior, appearing beside them and resolving their dire predicament. This outcome was too fortuitous, making the sisters doubt whether they were hallucinating.
"You're not dreaming. It's really me. Elder Xiao of your Xiao Family is here too. Rest assured, you two are safe now." Ye Yunfei looked at the two sisters standing there dazedly and said with a smile.
"Wonderful! Huanhuan-jie, we're not dreaming! We're saved! Ye Yunfei came to save us!"
Xiao Yueyue finally came to her senses, overflowing with extreme excitement, and cried out loudly.
Then she did something astonishing. She rushed over, threw her arms around Ye Yunfei, and buried her face in his chest, sobbing bitterly from pent-up anguish.
"Ye Yunfei, do you know I almost killed myself just now? I almost died! And I know Huanhuan-jie intended to do the same. If you had been any later, you wouldn't have seen us again!" Recalling her recent ordeal, Xiao Yueyue felt deeply wronged, her tears falling like raindrops on pear blossoms.
With Xiao Yueyue clinging to him, her fragrant scent filling his embrace, Ye Yunfei could feel her soft, cotton-like form. And within that softness, two distinct points of pressure stood out sharply, leaving him momentarily speechless.
But he understood her emotional state.
"Alright, Miss Yueyue, everything is fine now. I'll kill this fellow right away to vent your anger," Ye Yunfei said soothingly.
After crying in Ye Yunfei's embrace for a while, Xiao Yueyue suddenly snapped out of it and released him, her face flushed crimson.
At this moment, Xiao Ziming and the middle-aged man were locked in fierce combat.
Although Xiao Ziming had only recently broken through to become a Deity, the Xiao Family was an ancient lineage with a long history. Their ancestors had passed down several exceptionally advanced techniques and secret arts. Xiao Ziming himself possessed considerable talent. Now, he was locked in a fierce struggle with the Guardian Faction Deity, neither gaining a clear upper hand.
"Damn it! This guy only became a Deity recently, yet he can fight me to a standstill!" The middle-aged man was inwardly shocked. However, the greatest source of pressure came from Ye Yunfei standing to the side.
"This is bad. This kid Ye Yunfei was the main force of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds on the battlefield earlier. Why does he have time to run here to rescue these two women now? Unless..." The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed. He shrewdly sensed that something major must have occurred on the battlefield. Otherwise, Ye Yunfei, the core main force of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds army, wouldn't have left the battle specifically to rescue someone.
Even if these two women were truly important, other Deities or puppets from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds could have been sent for the rescue. The fact that Ye Yunfei personally came here seemed to imply something.
"Has... has our Guardian Faction... actually lost this battle?" The middle-aged man began to panic. The pressure Ye Yunfei exerted on him was already immense. Now, with these thoughts, he became even more unsettled.
He feigned an attack as a distraction, then immediately turned and dashed toward the distance, seeking to flee this Small World.
"Do you think you have the right to flee in my presence?" Ye Yunfei chuckled coldly and immediately unleashed the Moon Soul Slash. A cold, clear full moon appeared within the middle-aged man's soul sea, descending to cleave his Soul Body.
Simultaneously, more than thirty planets radiating fearsome Soul Power energy appeared, like massive boulders raining densely down upon his Soul Body.
"Ah!" The middle-aged man let out a wretched scream, blood trickling from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth simultaneously. His body convulsed as if struck by lightning, sent flying backward.
"Young Master Ye, let me be the one to kill him!" Recalling how Xiao Huanhuan and her sister had nearly fallen into this man's hands and suffered disgrace, Xiao Ziming couldn't suppress his blazing anger. He wanted to personally slay this middle-aged man to vent the hatred in his heart.
"Very well, Elder Xiao. He's yours." Ye Yunfei nodded.
This middle-aged man's Soul Body was already wounded, his combat power undoubtedly plummeting significantly. Ye Yunfei believed he was likely no match for Xiao Ziming now. Moreover, with himself standing nearby, there was no need to worry about Xiao Ziming being in danger.
Sure enough, during the ensuing battle, the middle-aged man's combat power dropped sharply from the start. He was completely overwhelmed by Xiao Ziming. Such combat was highly beneficial for Xiao Ziming, serving as practical battle experience.
Finally, with an enraged roar, Xiao Ziming blasted the middle-aged man's physical body into a cloud of blood and gore.
Amidst the shower of flesh and blood, the man's Soul Body attempted to sneak away into the distance. But Ye Yunfei was prepared. With a thought, a cold, clear full moon directly cleaved his Soul Body in two. Then, over thirty Soul Power planets swarmed forward, devouring his Soul Body completely.
"Huanhuan, Yueyue, are you two alright?"
Having obliterated the middle-aged man's physical body, Xiao Ziming immediately rushed over, concern evident in his voice as he asked after the sisters.
"Elder Xiao, we're fine. It's fortunate you and Young Master Ye arrived in time to save our lives." By now, Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Huanhuan had settled down emotionally and answered.
"Remember from now on, the moment you find yourselves in danger, find a way to contact me, Young Master Ye, or any Deity on our side immediately. Do not leave the battlefield on your own again." Xiao Ziming lectured the two sisters.
"Rest assured, Elder Xiao, we'll learn from this lesson." The two sisters nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice. This harrowing lesson was one they would certainly not forget.
"This Small World is a place where the Guardian Faction stores cultivation resources."
Having devoured the Soul Bodies of so many Guardian Faction Deities, Ye Yunfei was already thoroughly familiar with the layout of this Guardian Faction headquarters.
During the earlier battle, whenever Ye Yunfei killed a Deity, he would habitually collect all the wealth they left behind.
However, from the memories of those Guardian Faction Deities, Ye Yunfei knew that within the headquarters, there was a place specifically used to store various cultivation resources and heavenly treasures: this very Small World.
"Most of the wealth the Guardian Faction has plundered and accumulated over the years should be stored within this Small World." The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang had all followed Ye Yunfei here to search for the two Xiao sisters. At this moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was using his racial talent to sense the aura within the Small World. His eyes gleamed as he exclaimed with delight.
Without even waiting for Ye Yunfei to speak, he transformed into a streak of golden light and shot off toward a distant location.
