"You..."
The five Yuan Foundation Realm experts stared at Ye Yunfei with looks of utter disbelief.
Less than two seconds to slaughter over a hundred True Manifestation Realm cultivators!
Ye Yunfei's methods had thoroughly intimidated them.
Although they themselves possessed Yuan Foundation Realm strength, they were self-aware enough to know they absolutely did not possess such capabilities!
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's cold gaze swept over the five Yuan Foundation cultivators.
Meeting that indifferent stare, the five couldn't help but feel a pang of fear in their hearts.
"Kid, you actually killed so many of my Heavenly Lion Sect's disciples!" one of the Yuan Foundation cultivators said, mustering his courage.
"Those who dare provoke me must die. That includes you," Ye Yunfei stated flatly.
"Kid, do you actually intend to kill us! However strange your strength might be, you are still only at the True Manifestation Realm! To think of killing the five of us at the Yuan Foundation Realm—you're far too arrogant!" Senior Brother Lu roared angrily.
Even as he spoke, Ye Yunfei suddenly raised a fist and threw a punch across the distance, aimed squarely at one of the early Yuan Foundation Realm cultivators.
As the fist shot forward, strands of Profound Yellow Heavy Qi materialized upon it.
Boom...
A ferocious, unimaginably powerful fist force instantly blasted to that early Yuan Foundation cultivator's front.
Pfft!
That early Yuan Foundation cultivator didn't even have time to scream before his body directly exploded, transforming into a cloud of bloody mist.
With five million jin of raw physical strength, compounded by the Profound Yellow Heavy Qi, the combined force of Ye Yunfei's air-punch amounted to at least six or seven million jin!
How could a mere early Yuan Foundation Realm cultivator possibly withstand it?
"What?!"
The remaining four Yuan Foundation Realm cultivators paled frightfully, a chill rising from their hearts.
A punch across empty space, instantly killing a Yuan Foundation Realm expert!
Such combat power, in their eyes, was simply demonic!
Pfft!
Ye Yunfei's movements didn't cease. He threw another punch, blasting another early Yuan Foundation cultivator into a cloud of bloody mist.
Of Heavenly Lion Sect's five Yuan Foundation experts, there was one late-stage, two mid-stage, and two early-stage cultivators.
"You..."
The remaining three Yuan Foundation cultivators were collectively chilled to the bone, a mix of shock and fury.
Boom! Boom!
Ye Yunfei swung his fist twice more in rapid succession.
Pfft! Pfft!
The two mid-stage Yuan Foundation cultivators' bodies were simultaneously shattered, flesh, blood, and dismembered limbs spraying across the sky.
Now, only one remained!
It was that Senior Brother Lu, possessing late Yuan Foundation Realm strength.
He was the one leading this contingent of Heavenly Lion Sect disciples entering the Crystal Mine Minor World.
Who would have thought that now, the entire force had been utterly annihilated!
Senior Brother Lu stared at Ye Yunfei, trembling from head to toe, his face deathly pale, not a shred of fighting spirit left.
He suddenly felt intense regret.
Regret that moments ago, he shouldn't have provoked this seemingly weak young man who was, in fact, terrifying to the extreme!
Swish!
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei took a step forward, instantly appearing right in front of Senior Brother Lu, his cold eyes fixed upon him.
"Young man, I was wrong! You've already killed so many of my Heavenly Lion Sect's disciples. Let's consider the matter between us settled! I will no longer be your enemy!"
This Senior Brother Lu had actually lost the courage to fight.
Having witnessed over a hundred of Heavenly Lion Sect's disciples perish right before his eyes, his spirit had already broken!
Now, he only wished to get as far away from this terrifying, murderous young man as possible!
How could he dare to raise a hand?
"Too late. From the moment you began provoking me, you were already dead," Ye Yunfei shook his head.
The words barely fell.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei punched out, dazzling yellow light blooming from his fist.
This time, there were no fancy techniques.
Only five million jin of raw physical strength, compounded by ten strands of Profound Yellow Heavy Qi!
"Kid, I'll fight you to the death!"
Senior Brother Lu, in his terror, threw both fists forward simultaneously. Appearing above each fist was the image of a giant lion roaring at the heavens.
But it was useless.
Pfft!
Where Ye Yunfei's fist passed, the boxing technique Senior Brother Lu had manifested, along with his physical body, instantly exploded, vanished, then ceased to exist.
Senior Brother Lu didn't even get a chance to scream.
Wen Zi immediately rushed forward, collecting all the spatial rings from the over one hundred Heavenly Lion Sect martial artists and inspecting them.
"Looks like these guys also managed to dig up a small crystal ore vein. Even if it's just low-grade spirit crystal stones, it's still a decent haul!" Wen Zi exclaimed excitedly after checking them over.
"We spent all that effort searching for half a day and had to dig ourselves just to get one vein. Far less hassle than just robbing others! Ye Yunfei, why don't we specialize in robbing people from now on!" Wen Zi suggested.
"Forget it. If others don't provoke me, I don't provoke others. Robbing people proactively without reason goes against my nature. We'd better just keep honestly searching for crystal ore veins," Ye Yunfei laughed.
In truth, Ye Yunfei was not a cruel, bloodthirsty person.
The principle he upheld was: If others don't provoke me, I don't provoke others.
But if they do provoke me, I will repay them double!
"Hah, acting like a good guy now. Just now, you killed over a hundred people without blinking an eye," Wen Zi scoffed, pursing her lips.
"That's because they provoked me first. Alright. We should get moving," Ye Yunfei said.
Then, Ye Yunfei and Wen Zi continued forward, penetrating deeper into the Crystal Mine Minor World.
Over the next few days, Ye Yunfei and Wen Zi successively found several more crystal ore veins.
Initially, all they found were small crystal ore veins.
But as they gradually ventured deeper, they began encountering quite a few medium crystal ore veins!
This was simply unimaginable in the outside world.
To know, in the Central Continent, a single medium crystal ore vein was enough to sustain a third-rate, even a second-rate force!
Yet within this Crystal Mine Minor World, quite a few existed.
The main reason was that this Crystal Mine Minor World had been discovered for the first time. It was an undeveloped small world.
Therefore, all the forces who entered this Crystal Mine Minor World this time had reaped decent harvests, more or less.
As Ye Yunfei and Wen Zi advanced deeper into the world, they also harvested several small veins and one medium vein.
Along the way, they naturally encountered many demonic beasts.
Most possessed strength equivalent to Beast Emperors.
Such strength was, of course, easily handled by Ye Yunfei.
Simultaneously, they occasionally encountered martial artists attempting to block their path and rob them.
Ye Yunfei showed no mercy, directly killing them on the spot.
Two days later.
Ye Yunfei and Wen Zi were advancing when suddenly—
"You people from the Shenfeng Sect are going too far! Our Hudao Academy disciples discovered this crystal ore vein first! You actually dare to brazenly come and seize it!"
An enraged voice sounded up ahead.
"Hmm?"
Ye Yunfei was slightly taken aback, releasing his Soul Power to sense the area ahead.
There, he saw two groups confronting each other.
Nearby lay a medium crystal ore vein.
The two factions were members of the Shenfeng Sect and Hudao Academy.
The Shenfeng Sect group numbered over a hundred fifty.
The Hudao Academy group only had about fifty.
The Hudao Academy side was clearly at a disadvantage.
"Hahaha, heavenly treasures belong to those destined to obtain them! Who decreed this medium crystal ore vein must belong to your Hudao Academy? If you know what's good for you, scram right now. Otherwise, you'll all die!"
A burly man declared in a domineering tone.
"Do you Shenfeng Sect disciples actually dare to kill us Hudao Academy members!" a Hudao Academy student challenged.
"Hahaha, we're killing you precisely because you're from Hudao Academy! Attack! Don't let a single one escape!"
The burly man laughed maniacally.
Immediately, the two groups began fierce combat.
However, with greater numbers and power, the Shenfeng Sect side gained the upper hand as soon as the fighting started.
The Hudao Academy disciples were completely surrounded, forced onto the defensive, barely able to return attacks.
A short while later.
The Hudao Academy side began to suffer casualties, howls of pain rising from their ranks.
"Hahaha, kill! Kill all these Hudao Academy trash!"
The Shenfeng Sect members were boiling with killing intent, attacking without any restraint.
"Retreat! Quickly retreat!"
The leader of the Hudao Academy group, a late Yuan Foundation Realm expert, roared upon seeing the unfavorable situation.
Then.
Gripping a halberd in his hands, he fought desperately, and surprisingly managed to carve a bloody path through the encirclement and break out!
Next, he activated his movement technique and fled into the distance!
"No! Senior Brother Deng has run away!"
"Senior Brother Deng, save us!"
...
The Hudao Academy students still trapped within the encirclement were dumbstruck, crying out one after another.
It must be known that Senior Brother Deng was the captain of this small squad and also their strongest fighter. Who could have imagined he would flee at a critical moment?
With this, the remaining Hudao Academy students were even less of a match!
It seemed these several dozen Hudao Academy students were doomed to die.
"Should we intervene?" Wen Zi asked Ye Yunfei.
