Mo Chenzi was both terrified and furious, knowing he was no match for Ye Yunfei.
Zhou Duantian couldn't even block a single strike even with the Divine Sword Sect's supreme treasure in hand, so what chance did he have?
Thus, Mo Chenzi had no intention of fighting Ye Yunfei. The moment he saw Ye Yunfei charging towards him, he turned and fled.
Ye Yunfei let out a hearty laugh and slashed his sword towards Mo Chenzi's back.
"Ye Yunfei, stop! We can talk!"
Feeling immense danger, Mo Chenzi screamed in shock and anger.
But it was already too late. With a crisp *crack*, his physical body was blasted into countless pieces.
Ye Yunfei's sleeve swept out, directly collecting Mo Chenzi's remains and his Soul Body.
Just like that, the once arrogant Mo Chenzi was completely suppressed and sealed by Ye Yunfei with just a single move.
Of course, Ye Yunfei understood in his heart that this wasn't due to his own strength, but rather the power he had borrowed from Heavenly Net Sword God's longsword.
"Ye Yunfei, please stop!
We can talk.
Truly, there is no need for matters between you and our Divine Sword Sect to escalate to this life-and-death level of enmity. If you are willing..."
At this moment, an elder wearing voluminous robes stepped out from the crowd and addressed Ye Yunfei.
This elder was the prediction and divination expert most valued by Zhou Duantian. He understood that, given the astonishing combat prowess Ye Yunfei was currently displaying, no swordsman within the Divine Sword Sect was his opponent.
Under these circumstances, reconciliation with Ye Yunfei was the best possible course of action. If they continued to resist stubbornly, the outcome awaiting the Divine Sword Sect would undoubtedly be utterly miserable.
"I have nothing to say to traitors."
Ye Yunfei sneered, his figure flickering. Supported by the potent Sword Path energy, his speed was astonishing—exceeding that of ordinary Chaos Gods. In an instant, he arrived before the elder and slashed his sword down.
The elder, shocked and furious, waved his sleeve and immediately conjured over a dozen Chaos God-level magical artifacts, half of which were tools specifically used for divination and augury.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!...*
One artifact after another activated continuously, moving to block Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei sneered, lightly sweeping his longsword forward. A plain-looking sword light flashed past.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!...*
All dozen-plus artifacts exploded.
Witnessing this, the elder felt his soul leave his body in terror and immediately turned to flee.
But it was too late. A sword light flashed past, directly causing his physical body to explode and scatter into pieces.
"Little bastard surnamed Ye, stop!"
By this time, Zhou Duantian had already reconstituted his physical form. He charged towards Ye Yunfei along with the other Chaos Gods of the Divine Sword Sect.
These senior members of the Divine Sword Sect understood clearly that none of them could defeat Ye Yunfei one-on-one. Therefore, they attacked simultaneously, raising their swords and roaring as they slashed towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei gripped his sword with both hands and performed a horizontal sweep.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!...*
Swords shattered on the spot, one after another. Senior members of the Divine Sword Sect were cut down instantly, their bodies blasted apart one by one.
"So strong!"
Exclamations of amazement sounded.
"Hahaha…
Satisfying! So satisfying!
The Divine Sword Sect is finally receiving its retribution."
Across the Sword Realm Continent, many remaining Remnant Souls roared with excited laughter, feeling a deep sense of cathartic vengeance.
"Young Master Ye, show no mercy! Kill all the traitors of the Divine Sword Sect!"
"Utterly destroy the Divine Sword Sect's headquarters! Make them taste the price of betraying the Sword Realm Continent!"
"Zhou Duantian, you wicked thief! Back then, you colluded with the Blade Realm to invade our Sword Realm Continent. Now, your retribution has arrived!"
...
One Remnant Soul after another gazed at the Divine Sword Sect headquarters, shouting their grievances.
Naturally, Ye Yunfei would not show any leniency. His longsword struck out repeatedly, blasting apart the bodies of the Divine Sword Sect's senior members one after another.
"We must flee, we must flee immediately.
This boy is too terrifying. We are not his match at all."
The few remaining Divine Sword Sect seniors completely crumbled, losing all will to fight. They turned and fled—Zhou Duantian among them.
Zhou Duantian knew the Divine Sword Sect was finished. Continuing the fight held no meaning.
The combat prowess Ye Yunfei displayed was too horrifying. With a single sword strike, he could instantly defeat a Chaos God. Even he, an Advanced Chaos God, had absolutely no power to resist against the longsword in Ye Yunfei's hand.
Up to this point, Ye Yunfei had already blasted his body apart twice consecutively.
If it weren't for his higher cultivation realm and the few precious sword pills left behind by the Divine Sword Sect's forebears, which he possessed, he likely wouldn't even be able to reconstitute his body by now.
"Flee, everyone, flee!
Where there is life, there is hope. Let us leave this place first and settle accounts with this little beast later when the opportunity arises."
Zhou Duantian sent a Sound Transmission to the other surviving elders.
"Want to flee?
It won't be that easy!"
Ye Yunfei replied coldly, his face filled with murderous intent. He employed his Sword Path movement technique to pursue relentlessly after the Divine Sword Sect's fleeing seniors, his longsword striking out again and again.
One after another, the remaining Divine Sword Sect elders had their bodies blasted apart, their pitiful screams echoing.
Meanwhile, the other members of the Divine Sword Sect were also fleeing for their lives in panic. Ordinary sect swordsmen, witnessing their usually lofty elders being slaughtered by Ye Yunfei one sword strike at a time—as easily as splitting melons and chopping vegetables—were utterly terrified. They fled like a receding tide into the distant void.
Ye Yunfei brandished his sword, unleashing one flash of sword light after another.
Each flash of sword light blasted apart either a Divine Sword Sect elder or a group of Divine Sword Sect members.
Empowered by astounding amounts of Sword Path energy and profound Sword Path laws, Ye Yunfei's movements were incredibly swift. Compared to him, the ordinary Divine Sword Sect disciples were far too slow, having absolutely no chance of escaping his grasp.
"Young Master Ye, should I send my people to assist in pursuing the remnants of the Divine Sword Sect?"
The Old Geomancer transmitted a message to Ye Yunfei.
"There is no need. They cannot escape," Ye Yunfei replied.
At this moment, with Ye Yunfei's relentless sword strikes, the Divine Sword Sect's casualties were mounting.
"You heartless little bastard, Ye Yunfei!"
Zhou Duantian watched as the Divine Sword Sect's members were massacred by Ye Yunfei. His eyes nearly bled with rage, and he couldn't help but roar furiously.
"You cannot bear it anymore?
Back then, how many innocent swordsmen of the Sword Realm Continent died because of your collusion with external enemies?
Now, your Divine Sword Sect is merely paying the inevitable price—and even this is far from enough!"
Ye Yunfei sneered.
As he spoke, his longsword danced ceaselessly, executing even more members of the Divine Sword Sect.
"Old dog, your turn now."
Ye Yunfei's gaze landed on the roaring Zhou Duantian, and he gave a cold smile.
By this time, Zhou Duantian was already in the distant void, about to leave the area of the void containing the Sword Realm Continent.
Ye Yunfei's figure flickered as he gave chase.
"Ye Yunfei, you damnable little creature, wait! You have annihilated my Divine Sword Sect, destroyed my lifelong's work. I will settle this debt with you one day!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei chase after him, Zhou Duantian's expression changed drastically. He turned and fled, leaving behind a hateful roar.
Ye Yunfei exerted the full extent of his movement technique, instantly piercing through space and arriving right behind Zhou Duantian.
"Damnation! Why is his speed so fast?"
Zhou Duantian was greatly alarmed.
In his desperation, Zhou Duantian waved a hand. Ten statues flew out from his sleeve, each transforming into an exact copy of his original form.
Now, there were a total of eleven identical-looking Zhou Duantians, each fleeing in a different direction.
"This is some kind of substitute magical artifact, and an extremely clever one at that," Hun Lao immediately informed Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed, I can't seem to distinguish which one is the real Zhou Duantian," Ye Yunfei admitted with a light frown.
Then, Ye Yunfei's longsword flashed rapidly, sending out swift sword lights—each chasing after a separate Zhou Duantian.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!…*
One Zhou Duantian after another was blasted apart on the spot. In an instant, more than half were destroyed.
At that moment, raging flames erupted from within one of the Zhou Duantians. His speed suddenly increased severalfold, transforming into a nearly imperceptible strand of sword light that shot directly out of the void space encompassing the Sword Realm Continent.
"That's the real Zhou Duantian! He managed to escape!" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cried out.
"I never expected this fellow to possess such a clever substitute magical artifact. Otherwise, he could not have gotten away!" Hun Lao also felt a tinge of regret.
Watching Zhou Duantian escape the Sword Realm Continent's void, Ye Yunfei felt a wave of fury rising within him. He turned and looked at the remaining Divine Sword Sect members, his figure flickering as he charged towards them, sword flashing to strike.
Each slash of his sword caused a group of Divine Sword Sect swordsmen to explode.
Even Zhou Duantian was no match for Ye Yunfei, let alone the ordinary disciples of the Divine Sword Sect.
Group after group of Divine Sword Sect swordsmen were slain, exploding one after another. From afar, that portion of the void resembled a sky where bloody fireworks were continuously blooming.
"Spare us, Young Master Ye! Please have mercy!"
Soon, many Divine Sword Sect swordsmen completely broke down, kneeling on the spot, kowtowing and begging Ye Yunfei for mercy.
"Traitors do not deserve mercy," Ye Yunfei stated coldly, his sword slashing without hesitation.
The casualties among the swordsmen during the Sword Realm Continent's fall had been enormous. The Divine Sword Sect was one of the chief culprits. Ye Yunfei would not let pity sway him now just because these remnants begged for their lives.
Ye Yunfei raised and lowered his sword, staining the rivers crimson with blood. Shortly after, most of the Divine Sword Sect's swordsmen had been slain.
"Young Master Ye, the survivors here are subordinates I secretly cultivated within the Divine Sword Sect. I beseech you to spare them."
Just as Ye Yunfei was about to swing his sword and exterminate the last of the Divine Sword Sect swordsmen, Gan Qingyang arrived from afar and spoke.
"Subordinates you secretly cultivated?"
Ye Yunfei, holding his sword, glanced at Gan Qingyang and showed a trace of hesitation.
Then, Ye Yunfei stirred his thoughts, employing a mind-reading technique to examine the thoughts of the last surviving Divine Sword Sect swordsmen.
"It is indeed true. They are disciples secretly groomed by Elder Gan."
Ye Yunfei soon read the inner thoughts and memories of these swordsmen, confirming they were indeed cultivated by Gan Qingyang within the Divine Sword Sect.
Hence, Ye Yunfei sheathed his longsword, his figure flickering as he descended into the heart of the Divine Sword Sect headquarters.
The Divine Sword Sect's Gengjin Sword Formation, which served as their defensive barrier, had already been shattered by Ye Yunfei. Therefore, anyone could now enter the headquarters unimpeded.
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power and heart power to begin his perception.
After a short while, he arrived before a certain palace deep within the headquarters. With one slash of his sword, he shattered the palace gates and strode inside.
Inside the palace, numerous spirit tablets were arranged—each tablet representing a past Divine Sword Sect swordsman who had left a mark. Some of these tablets still contained lingering traces of Remnant Souls or Soul Power imprints.
Clutching his sword, Ye Yunfei walked into the palace. The immense Sword Path energy radiating from the longsword immediately caused every spirit tablet within to shake violently.
"Esteemed souls, I believe you are all now aware of the various events that have befallen the Divine Sword Sect, aren't you?
All these years, concerning the misdeeds of your Divine Sword Sect, you elders and ancestors must have been aware of at least some part of it.
Now, I have slain most of your Divine Sword Sect swordsmen. Should any of you ancestors harbor dissatisfaction or seek vengeance, come and face me now!"
Ye Yunfei declared coldly, his sword held firmly.
