As the words faded.
Ye Yunfei’s figure had already bypassed Deng Xianxian and arrived before Senior Brother Yang.
"What kind of dog-shit thing are you that you dare order me to hand over the Seven Divinities Flower?"
Ye Yunfei sneered.
Then.
Boom...
He threw a direct punch.
"Trash, you're seeking death!"
Senior Brother Yang was both startled and furious. He hadn't expected Ye Yunfei's movement speed to be so swift.
So fast that even he almost failed to react!
However, he was after all an expert at the Late Stage Earth Realm and, coming from the Zhencang Sect, naturally possessed certain capabilities.
Swish!
The longsword at his waist actually leapt out on its own.
Shhh-chi-chi...
Sharp, formless qi waves continuously shot forth from that longsword, shredding the surrounding air with desolate sounds of rupture and collapse. All nearby flowers, plants, and shrubs were also completely torn apart.
"Sword Intent!
Senior Brother Yang has truly comprehended genuine Sword Intent!"
The Zhencang Sect disciples behind Senior Brother Yang cried out in shock.
"Trash,"
Senior Brother Yang smiled arrogantly, grabbing the sword with lightning speed as a silvery-bright sword beam erupted, cleaving towards Ye Yunfei.
"No!"
Deng Xianxian screamed.
"Senior Brother Yang, please show mercy with your sword!"
"Brother Yunfei, run fast!"
...
Several shouts rang out simultaneously in the area.
However, Ye Yunfei neither dodged nor evaded. His fist slammed straight ahead.
Boom!
A loud explosion.
Ye Yunfei's fist directly collided with that sword beam.
Pfft!
The seemingly terrifying sword beam shattered upon impact.
Then, Ye Yunfei's fist continued its advance, a terrifying force enveloping Senior Brother Yang.
"Impossible!"
Senior Brother Yang was utterly horrified, retreating desperately.
Shhh!
A pitch-black dagger abruptly appeared behind his skull, shooting towards the back of his head like lightning.
"Trash, I'll fight you to the death!"
Sensing the unnatural wind at the back of his head and finding himself attacked from both front and rear, Senior Brother Yang had no path of escape. Gritting his teeth, he threw a punch, meeting Ye Yunfei head-on.
Bang!
Senior Brother Yang's entire arm exploded upon contact, turning into a mist of blood.
Then, Ye Yunfei's fist landed on his torso.
Bang!
Senior Brother Yang's body exploded directly, not even having time to let out a scream.
Bone fragments scattered everywhere in the air.
In just two moves, an Late Stage Earth Realm expert was killed!
Deathly silence enveloped the surroundings.
"The combat style of pure physical strength is truly exhilarating.
Direct and overbearing!"
Ye Yunfei felt extremely satisfied.
"Now, do you think I have the strength to leave the Heavenly Beast Forest safely with the Seven Divinities Flower?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned towards Wu Yuechan as he asked her indifferently.
Earlier, when Senior Brother Yang drew his sword, Wu Yuechan had called out for him to show mercy.
This had earned her a bit of Ye Yunfei's goodwill.
Therefore, after speaking, Ye Yunfei did not give her a hard time.
"What about you all? Do you want to seize the Seven Divinities Flower from me?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept over the few Zhencang Sect disciples who had come with Senior Brother Yang as he asked.
"Run!"
These few Zhencang Sect disciples were scared out of their wits, turning to flee immediately.
It was no joke; even the powerful Senior Brother Yang had been shattered by a single punch.
They weren't even enough to stuff the gaps between his teeth!
"We'll meet again."
Leaving behind those words, Ye Yunfei turned and strode towards the outer edges of the Heavenly Beast Forest.
What Ye Yunfei was most concerned about in his heart right now was the upcoming Four-Clan Mine Seizing Competition in Yuanyue City.
"Ye Yunfei, Ye Yunfei..."
Deng Xianxian called his name several times from behind, but Ye Yunfei's movement technique was incredibly swift. Within moments, he had gone far away, disappearing from sight.
"So, all this time, I was the one who underestimated him."
Wu Yuechan watched Ye Yunfei's receding figure, revealing a bitter smile.
She was now certain that it really had been Ye Yunfei who killed that seventh-order demonic beast earlier, saving her life.
She also finally understood why Ye Yunfei showed no fear facing an Late Stage Earth Realm Senior Brother Yang.
And why, with so many Earth Realm experts vying for that Seven Divinities Flower, it had ended up in Ye Yunfei's hands in the end.
It was because Ye Yunfei truly possessed that strength!
"If he can kill Senior Brother Yang with one punch, then I am far from being his match.
How laughable that I kept telling him to keep a low profile.
With his strength, does he need to keep a low profile before me?"
Wu Yuechan's smile grew a bit more bitter as she shook her head.
"Senior Sister Wu, Senior Brother Yang is dead. What should we do about this matter?"
Jia Zhao suddenly spoke up.
"The jianghu is perilous. Our Zhencang Sect disciples go out for training every year, and there are always casualties.
Even among fellow disciples of our Zhencang Sect, mutual killings often occur.
Senior Brother Yang wanted to kill Ye Yunfei but ended up being killed by him instead.
Let's not involve ourselves in this matter.
Alright, it's time for us to return to the sect as well."
After thinking for a moment, Wu Yuechan replied.
"Senior Sister Wu, Ye Yunfei said he comes from Yuanyue City. Yuanyue City doesn't seem far from the Heavenly Beast Forest. What if we…"
Deng Xianxian suddenly suggested.
At that moment.
Ye Yunfei had already activated his movement technique, striding outward through the Heavenly Beast Forest.
Along the way, he encountered many more martial artists who had come to seize the Seven Divinities Flower.
Ye Yunfei naturally showed no mercy.
He directly crushed them.
Several hours later.
Ye Yunfei finally emerged from the Heavenly Beast Forest and arrived at the outer Heavenly Beast Town.
Ye Yunfei bought a fast horse and galloped swiftly back in the direction of Yuanyue City.
The journey from the Heavenly Beast Forest to Yuanyue City took the better part of a day.
Ye Yunfei felt he had to hurry.
Just moments after Ye Yunfei left Heavenly Beast Town.
A group of people rushed out in pursuit from within the Heavenly Beast Forest.
Their leader was a young man wearing a golden robe, a jade crown on his head, and a brocade belt around his waist.
Xiao Wuhen!
The Third Young Master of the current Prime Minister Xiao!
"Kid, you won't escape even if you grow wings!
After him!"
Xiao Wuhen waved his hand, leading a large group of subordinates in pursuit in the direction Ye Yunfei had left.
Yuanyue City.
Qin Family.
"Young Master Qin An has emerged from seclusion!"
A loud shout rang out.
Then, the entire Qin residence bustled with excitement.
Everyone who heard the news rushed swiftly towards the direction where Qin An had been in seclusion.
The gate of a secret room slowly opened.
A youth in purple robes, hands clasped behind his back, walked out slowly. His expression was aloof, and every gesture he made carried an arrogance capable of looking down upon the world!
Qin An!
"Haha, An'er, you've finally emerged!"
The Qin Family Patriarch, Qin Xiong, walked forward with a beaming smile.
"Congratulations on Young Master Qin An emerging from seclusion!"
"Young Master Qin An is the hope of our Qin Family. Each of his seclusion sessions for cultivation is a tremendous contribution to our Qin Family."
...
The other Qin Family members also showered flattery, with endless words of praise.
"An'er, this seclusion session, your strength…?"
Qin Xiong asked excitedly.
"Mid Stage Earth Realm."
Qin An said indifferently.
What?!
As soon as Qin An's voice fell, everyone present was utterly stunned.
"An'er, you mean you are now at Mid Stage Earth Realm?
Not Early Stage Earth Realm?"
Excited, Qin Xiong's breathing also became somewhat hurried.
"That's right.
Father, it's all thanks to the Profound Elemental Pill you gave me.
It allowed me to break through to Mid Stage Earth Realm in one fell swoop."
Qin An's expression remained very composed, possessing a quality of being unruffled by praise or criticism.
"Good! Good! Good!
Haha, An'er, you've truly surprised and delighted me!"
Qin Xiong's face flushed red with excitement.
He had initially thought Qin An would break through to Early Stage Earth Realm during this seclusion.
He never expected he would reach Mid Stage Earth Realm in a single breath!
"Indeed worthy of being a Heavenly Spirit Body. This cultivation speed is truly terrifying!"
"Young Master Qin An is too monstrous!"
"With Young Master Qin An, it's hard for our Qin Family not to rise!"
...
The other Qin Family members were also extremely shocked, exclaiming one after another.
