Finally.
A moment later.
A party numbering over a hundred descended from the sky, instantly surrounding Ye Yunfei and his group of several dozen.
"Junior Brother Ye, they're from the Tianyan Sect," a student promptly whispered to Ye Yunfei.
"Mmm," Ye Yunfei gave a slight nod.
"So Ye Yunfei really is here!"
Every one of the Tianyan Sect members fixed their gazes on Ye Yunfei, their expressions filled with extreme delight.
However.
Before any of the Tianyan Sect members could speak, Wen Zi had already charged forward in large strides, hands on her slender waist.
"This is a robbery!
Hand over everything you've got!
If you don't cooperate, hehe, Ye Yunfei won't be polite with you!"
Wen Zi declared with impressive bravado, pointing a finger at Ye Yunfei. There was a distinct flavor of riding on someone else's coattails.
Ye Yunfei could only shake his head wryly at the sight.
"What?
This little wench dares to say she's robbing us?
She's got some nerve!"
"Is there something wrong with this wench's head?"
The hundred-plus Tianyan Sect disciples were caught between anger and amusement.
Among this group, there were at least thirty-plus experts in the Yuan Foundation Realm.
Nine of them were even at the late stage of the Yuan Foundation Realm!
And beside Ye Yunfei, there were only thirty to forty students from Hudao Academy, not a single late-stage Yuan Foundation Realm expert among them.
Who was strong, who was weak—it was obvious at a glance.
"How dare you!
Are you all looking for death!
Ye Yunfei, get them! Show them what's what!"
Wen Zi was so furious her willow-leaf eyebrows shot up. She waved at Ye Yunfei and shouted.
"Hahaha…
Fortune, this is truly fortune!
Ye Yunfei, I never thought we'd finally find you!
Now, there'll be no escaping! Alright, surrender yourself obediently. Don't think about resisting.
I know you have some skills.
But before us, you have no possibility of resistance.
I heard you discovered a treasure trove in that underground world.
Hand it over now.
And that advanced technique of yours, hand that over as well.
Perhaps I can consider sparing your life!"
From among the Tianyan Sect disciples, a man in a red cape stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as he laughed heartily. This man was the leader of this Tianyan Sect party, possessing late-stage Yuan Foundation Realm strength.
"Utter nonsense," Ye Yunfei said indifferently, a look of disdain on his face.
"Enough noise!" A fierce smile spread across the man's face.
"Move!
Seize Ye Yunfei first!"
The man waved his hand. Immediately, over a dozen Tianyan Sect disciples surged forward. All of them were at the Yuan Foundation Realm, each releasing rolling streams of spiritual power.
The power within Ye Yunfei's body surged forth, gathering into his right palm, which he then swung forward.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei's right palm swelled in the wind, transforming in an instant into a colossal palm covering an area of several acres.
This giant palm was not formed by condensed spiritual power. It was a genuine physical manifestation of his Body Divine Ability—a palm of flesh and blood.
Rumble…
The enormous palm, carrying terrifying force, rose high and slapped down towards those dozen-plus Tianyan Sect disciples.
The surrounding clouds stirred; space itself groaned!
This one slap hammered down, violently imprinting a palm-shaped crater several acres wide into the ground.
Thump! Thump! Thump…
From within the crater came muffled thuds and successive agonized screams.
Then.
Ye Yunfei retracted his palm.
Inside the palm-print crater lay over a dozen thin, flattened humanoid pancakes, drenched in fresh blood.
"What?!"
The Tianyan Sect leader stared at those dozen humanoid pancakes, his eyes wide and mouth agape, completely dumbfounded.
The other Tianyan Sect disciples also trembled like sifting chaff, expressions of utter horror on their faces.
To slap over a dozen Yuan Foundation Realm experts to death with one palm—such combat power was simply outrageous, utterly unimaginable!
"Junior Brother Ye is practically a deity!"
The Hudao Academy students were also profoundly shaken, their gazes towards Ye Yunfei filled with boundless awe and admiration.
Even the normally energetic Wen Zi was struck dumb for a moment by Ye Yunfei's divine display.
Then.
"Haha, now you know how powerful we are!
Enough chatter. Hand over everything you have, right now!"
Having regained her wits, Wen Zi shouted at the Tianyan Sect disciples. Though petite in stature, her voice was anything but small. With her hands on her slender waist, she commanded considerable presence.
"That's right!
You heard Senior Sister Wen!
Do as she says. If you offend Senior Sister Wen, you'll suffer for it!"
Infected by Wen Zi's spirit, the Hudao Academy students also stepped forward to help intimidate the enemy, glaring and shouting angrily at the Tianyan Sect disciples.
These students knew Wen Zi was close to Ye Yunfei. Therefore, currying favor with Wen Zi was equivalent to currying favor with Ye Yunfei.
In terms of actual strength, they wouldn't dare approach Ye Yunfei directly to try and win his favor. The combat power he had displayed was simply too frightening—swift to kill, even turning people into pancakes.
But winning Wen Zi's favor was much simpler. So these students positioned themselves around Wen Zi, like a group of enforcers.
"Ye Yunfei!
You dare slaughter members of our Tianyan Sect!
Your crimes are monstrous! Simply monstrous!
Aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of our Tianyan Sect?!"
Finally, the Tianyan Sect leader snapped out of it, fuming with rage, and roared.
"Attack together!
Everyone, attack together! Hack Ye Yunfei to pieces!"
The leader screamed maniacally.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Immediately, the hundred-plus Tianyan Sect disciples erupted with power. Rolling tides of spiritual power filled the air in an instant, causing the very space around them to rumble continuously.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei moved directly, activating his Body Divine Ability. An arm shot out, instantly enlarging into a thick, thirty-meter-wide golden giant arm. His palm swept forward, seizing several dozen Tianyan Sect disciples in its grasp right then and there.
After activating the Body Divine Ability, Ye Yunfei's palm was several acres wide. It was as if a giant hand had grabbed several dozen flies.
Currently, Ye Yunfei's physical strength had reached ten million jin. Moreover, he had already awakened the Body Divine Ability in both his hands and feet.
Dealing with these Yuan Foundation Realm and True Manifestation Realm martial artists was far too simple—it was practically child's play!
"What?!"
The Tianyan Sect leader was utterly stupefied.
The means displayed by Ye Yunfei were beginning to surpass his understanding!
Everyone else present also stared at Ye Yunfei and that thick golden giant arm as if looking at a monster.
"Let me go!"
"Senior Brother Qin, save us!"
…
The several dozen Tianyan Sect disciples trapped within Ye Yunfei's palm were scared witless, their hearts trembling with terror. Yet they couldn't move a single muscle, reduced to desperately crying for help.
