While the group was still stunned, Ye Yunfei's two colossal fists had already shot out like lightning, crashing towards a Yuan Foundation Realm mid-stage expert.
This Yuan Foundation Realm cultivator was a middle-ranking student of Hudao Academy, hailing from the Eastern Region!
"Ye Yunfei, I'll fight you to the death!" Facing a Ye Yunfei who looked like a god of slaughter, the student felt a tremor of fear, but Ye Yunfei's onslaught was too ferocious and too fast—there was no dodging it.
Boom! Boom! ...
Thick waves of spiritual power gushed forth from his body one after another, his robes instantly puffing up like a balloon.
Rumble...
A silver fist imprint surged from within him, bolts of lightning and arcs of electricity coiling around it, crackling and hissing, radiating destructive energy.
This Lightning God Fist was a relatively advanced martial technique within Hudao Academy.
Boom! Boom! ...
With a series of punches, Ye Yunfei shattered the silver fist imprint inch by inch, forcing the student back step by step, blood continuously seeping from the corners of his mouth.
Boom!
The final fist, erupting like a volcano, struck towards the student.
"Stop!
Ye Yunfei, I'm also from the Eastern Region! We are fellow countrymen!
Spare my life!" Facing Ye Yunfei's terrifying assault and completely unable to fight back, the student cried out in terror and pleaded for mercy.
Pfft!
His body was punched into an explosion by Ye Yunfei, fracturing into more than a dozen pieces that flew out in all directions.
This meant that of the five students who had come to hunt him down, only one remained.
"Beast!
Ye Yunfei, you beast!
You know perfectly well they are from Hudao Academy, also from the Eastern Region, yet you so ruthlessly slaughtered them, killing four in a row!
A person like you is deranged and deserves death ten thousand times over!" The sole remaining student, his heart and courage both chilled, roared furiously.
Boom! Boom!
Two monstrous dragon arms swept across the sky, hammering towards him.
"Ye Yunfei, just you wait, I won't let you get away with this!" This student actually lost the courage to face Ye Yunfei, turning and fleeing.
Because Ye Yunfei's swift and decisive manner of killing one after another had given him the illusion that Ye Yunfei was invincible!
"You're not getting away!" Ye Yunfei sneered, his figure flashing as he closed the distance in a single step, appearing behind the student.
In terms of movement speed and body technique, Ye Yunfei was countless times superior!
"You came to hunt me down with empty hands; you should have anticipated the possibility of being countered! Now die!" Cold-blooded and ruthless, Ye Yunfei struck out several moves before landing a punch that turned the student into a cloud of blood mist.
"Die!Ye Yunfei whirled around and bellowed, his two thick dragon arms, each ten meters long, streaking through the air as they hammered towards two of the assassins.
Those two assassins were only at the early-stage level of the Yuan Foundation Realm. Faced with Ye Yunfei's furious assault, they didn't dare confront it head-on; their bodies flickered and disappeared from sight.
"Haha… You think those clumsy Stealth Arts are useful in front of me? Not a chance!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Two punches, Bang! Bang! Each struck at two specific areas of space nearby. The terrifying fist force made the entire area tremble, with the sounds of sonic booms echoing nonstop.
Ah! Ah!
Screams came from those two spots in space. The two assassins were instantly blown apart, sending flesh, blood, and bone fragments flying everywhere.
"Not good! So he can see through our Stealth Arts!" The remaining assassins were horrified.
Originally, as assassins of Tianyou Tomb, their greatest asset was this bizarre movement technique that allowed them to vanish.
Once this technique became ineffective, their combat power effectively dropped by half.
"Let's leave!" One of the assassins, realizing the situation had turned sour, immediately shouted.
"Do you think you can escape?" Ye Yunfei laughed and took a great step, instantly moving next to another assassin.
Swinging his two massive arms, he hammered them out in a sweep that could clear a thousand troops. The wild, devastating fist force seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth!
Pfft!
That assassin was immediately pounded into mush!
"Let's get out of here! This kid is too ferocious!" The remaining assassins were each terrified, their courage gone.
Although they were assassins, killing year-round and callous by nature, Ye Yunfei's combat power was too horrifying. His fighting style was incredibly brutal, often blasting people into nothing but bone dust.
Even these assassins were scared.
Whoosh! Whoosh! …
Having conceived the intention to retreat, the remaining assassins immediately activated their movement techniques and simultaneously vanished from sight.
But Ye Yunfei's Soul Power perceived their forms clearly.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei activated his Shadow Garb, multiplying his speed by tenfold. With just one step, he caught up to one of the assassins.
That assassin had employed his Stealth Art and was fleeing at full speed. How could he have imagined that Ye Yunfei could so precisely perceive his trajectory?
Pfft!
A single punch from Ye Yunfei directly blew him apart.
Next, Ye Yunfei continuously activated his movement technique, pursuing the fleeing assassins.
Pfft! Pfft! …
In moments, all the assassins had been annihilated by Ye Yunfei. Not a single one managed to escape.
In this battle, Ye Yunfei had killed fifteen experts at the Yuan Foundation Realm!
His menacing might utterly overwhelmed the heavens!
The fierce battle on the outskirts of the city had long alarmed the martial artists within the royal capital. The powerful individuals from the imperial family had arrived quietly quite some time ago.
Thus, in the distance, numerous martial artists were watching this great clash.
"That young man is too brutal, too bloody—he kills without batting an eye!"
"His combat power is terrifying! None of those Yuan Foundation Realm experts were a match for him, torn limb from limb!" …
Everyone watched with bated breath, their legs turning weak.
After the battle concluded, Ye Yunfei strolled leisurely towards the royal city, his hands clasped behind his back.
"We welcome the young hero!" The emperor, along with his full court of civil and military officials, personally came to greet him.
Each one was cautious and subservient, even not daring to meet Ye Yunfei's eyes.
"Young Hero, security in the royal city is too poor. You must have been greatly alarmed these past few days.
All this is my fault for ineffective governance.
I have prepared a palace banquet to ease your shock and am ready with generous gifts to make amends." Summoning his courage, the emperor spoke to Ye Yunfei, trembling with fear.
Two nights ago, Ye Yunfei was attacked within the imperial palace; today, another fifteen Yuan Foundation Realm experts had attempted to surround and kill him. The emperor feared Ye Yunfei would blame him.
With the combat power Ye Yunfei had just displayed, annihilating the royal family of the Ten Thousand Beasts Empire would be no difficult task.
"Unnecessary," Ye Yunfei waved a hand.
"Prince Zhenshou is a fine man. The Ten Thousand Beasts Empire should have him as emperor.
I have a relationship with Prince Zhenshou. Once he becomes emperor, should the Ten Thousand Beasts Empire need assistance, you can come find me at Hudao Academy," Ye Yunfei said flatly.
"So the Young Hero has a connection with my eldest son! That's wonderful!
Rest assured, Young Hero, I had already designated Prince Zhenshou as the next emperor long ago.
Soon, I will abdicate and have him govern the Ten Thousand Beasts Empire.
Good child, come forward quickly and greet the Young Hero!" Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the emperor hastily spoke and beckoned to Prince Zhenshou, who was following behind him.
"Greetings, Young Hero!" Prince Zhenshou immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
He was already Ye Yunfei's slave, but in front of others, they had to maintain appearances.
"Good. I will depart now." Ye Yunfei nodded. After finishing, he took out a flying ship, preparing to leave.
His mission to the Ten Thousand Beasts Empire was complete, and he had no desire to stay longer.
"Young Hero, please wait," the emperor suddenly called out.
"Oh?" Ye Yunfei looked back.
"Young Hero, my Third Princess is eighteen years of age and unbetrothed. Recently, she was kidnapped by sand bandits; fortunately, you acted heroically and rescued her.
I wish to present the Third Princess to you as a concubine, to serve you from now on, attending to your daily needs.
Third Princess, quickly come pay respects to the Young Hero!" the emperor declared.
"This humble one greets Young Hero! Young Hero's great kindness and virtue are forever remembered in this humble one's heart! I hope the Young Hero will take me in. From now on, this humble one will most assuredly serve as your slave and maidservant, attending to you with utmost devotion!"
A young woman with long, slender legs, a tall and perfectly proportioned figure rushed forward, kneeling before Ye Yunfei. Her beautiful eyes gazed at Ye Yunfei with a thoroughly meek and submissive air.
This was precisely the Third Princess that Ye Yunfei had rescued from the Black Wind Stronghold.
In her heart, she had already deemed Ye Yunfei a great hero and an excellent man. So when the emperor presented her to Ye Yunfei, she did not resist; on the contrary, she was deeply excited and yearned for it.
Her bold and passionate gaze fixed directly on Ye Yunfei, fervent like fire.
