‘So you are Ye Yunfei.’
Xiao Ziyang hovered high in the air, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze sharp as lightning as he coldly swept it over Ye Yunfei before speaking.
‘As a new student, you should just concentrate on your cultivation quietly and not show off.
Yet, relying on a smidgen of power, you stir up trouble everywhere. Not only that, you have repeatedly provoked our Xiao Sect. In fact, within the Small World of the Crystal Mines, you wounded and killed many disciples of my Xiao Clan.
These are all capital offences.
Today, I have come here precisely to mete out your punishment.
Do not resent me for bullying the younger generation. The truth is, your crimes are monstrous; you have earned death a thousand times over.’
Xiao Ziyang stood with hands behind his back, his eyes icy as they stared at Ye Yunfei while he delivered his slow, deliberate speech.
‘Hmph!
A mere True Manifestation Realm insect, trash of a dog—is he really worth the three of us dealing with him together?
This is practically using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.’
Tang Tianhao swept his gaze over Ye Yunfei, his face filled with disdain. Clad in black robes with long hair, he exuded an intensely masculine and tyrannical aura of spiritual energy. The faint, low rumble that emanated from his body with the slightest movement exuded formidable power.
‘Hm.
This kid, facing the three of us, can still remain so composed and calm. Frankly speaking, such temperament and stability is quite impressive.
However, Ye Yunfei, your greatest mistake was offending our Xiao Sect.
Originally, you had a bright future ahead. Now, it will be cut short prematurely. What a pity.’
The tone in Zhuge Xing's words carried a sense of mockery, like a cat crying over a mouse.
‘Heh. Relying on three scruffy mongrels like you to cut me short prematurely?
What a joke.’
Ye Yunfei’s gaze was also filled with interest as he spoke.
‘What?!
Scruffy mongrels?!’
‘Facing three Mystic Liquid Realm masters, Ye Yunfei actually called them scruffy mongrels!
That’s just too arrogant!’
‘He’s simply asking for death!’
...
Nearby, most of the students who heard were struck dumb.
‘Good one, Boss!
You bunch of mutts, if you don’t want to die, get the hell out of here!
Otherwise, don’t blame the Boss if he’s not polite!’
Wu Heishan voiced his support for Ye Yunfei, shouting loudly.
‘What?!
Roar...!’
The three Mystic Liquid Realm experts instantly erupted in rage, torrents of spiritual energy pressure soaring skywards.
The very air around them seemed to boil with the fury of these three Mystic Liquid Realm experts, rumbling and roaring, shaking the ground.
‘Outrageous!
Ye Yunfei, you dog, how dare you insult the three leaders of our Xiao Sect! You simply do not know your place!’
‘Ye Yunfei, kneel down immediately and kowtow in apology!’
‘This is pure treason! Your crime warrants death ten thousand times over!’
...
The members of the Xiao Sect were also infuriated by Ye Yunfei’s words, each one pointing at him and cursing angrily.
Xiao Ziyang was the main leader of the Xiao Sect, while Tang Tianhao and Zhuge Xing were both vice-leaders.
These three were the pillars of the Xiao Sect, idols to all its members, and revered highly.
Now that the three had been insulted, the Xiao Sect members were burning with righteous indignation, their anger even greater than if they themselves had been insulted.
‘Leaders! No need for you to act! Allow us to teach Ye Yunfei a lesson!’
Several dozen Xiao Sect members charged forward, surrounding Ye Yunfei from all sides.
Every one of them was in the Yuan Foundation Realm!
‘Capture him!
I’d like to see just how much substance he has, daring to act so arrogantly before us!’
Xiao Ziyang said coldly, watching Ye Yunfei.
‘Go!’
‘Go hard! Cripple him first, then we’ll talk!’
...
The several dozen Xiao Sect members rushed forward together, each one fierce and menacing.
Ye Yunfei didn't move a muscle, a cold sneer on his face.
‘Brat, at death’s door and still putting on an act!’
In the blink of an eye, the dozens of Yuan Foundation Realm cultivators had all closed in on Ye Yunfei. Seeing his utterly calm and relaxed attitude, they all flew into a rage.
‘SCRAM!’
Ye Yunfei suddenly roared. His right palm shot out like lightning, employing his Physical Body Divine Ability, instantly transforming into a gigantic palm spanning several acres of land that swept out horizontally.
‘What?!’
Confronted with Ye Yunfei's enormous palm, those dozens of Yuan Foundation Realm cultivators all gawked in stunned disbelief.
This was because they felt an immense, utterly irresistible power rolling towards them, pinning their bodies in place completely, rendering them unable to move.
They could only stare in terror at the colossal palm sweeping towards them.
*Crash! Bang! Clatter!*...
Like an autumn gale sweeping away fallen leaves, the bodies of those several dozen Yuan Foundation Realm cultivators were swatted away one after another, sent flying.
Ye Yunfei’s physical strength exceeded a thousand kilograms. Even a casual horizontal sweep was more than these Yuan Foundation Realm cultivators could resist.
A single move had defeated dozens of Yuan Foundation Realm experts!
Instantly, the atmosphere in the surroundings fell deathly silent.
Everyone stared at Ye Yunfei with wide, disbelieving eyes.
That was dozens of Yuan Foundation Realm experts!
One slap had sent them all flying?
It was like swatting away a swarm of flies!
‘So terrifying!’
It was a good while before the students watching the excitement from the sidelines reacted, exclaiming one after another in astonishment.
‘Not bad.’
Deep within the grounds of Hudao Academy, Xie Changkong, the six Protecting Elders, Dean Shangguan, and Dean Zhou all couldn't help but nod.
The potency of Ye Yunfei's physical strength even left them somewhat taken aback.
‘Roar…!’
Xiao Ziyang, Tang Tianhao, and Zhuge Xing let out low, furious growls of shock and anger.
‘Good, good, excellent!
Ye Yunfei, no wonder you dared to repeatedly provoke our Xiao Sect!
So you possess some ability, after all!’
Tang Tianhao gnashed his teeth.
‘However, this is far, far from enough.
Whoever dares to provoke our Xiao Sect is destined for a wretched end!
Now, I will personally step forward and cripple you!’
Tang Tianhao said viciously, striding forward step by step to approach Ye Yunfei.
His strength was at the early stage of the Mystic Liquid Realm, and he ranked thirteenth on the Hidden Dragon Stele Overall Ranking of Hudao Academy!
He was renowned throughout the entire academy!
‘Look!
Tang Tianhao is taking action personally!
He’s a Mystic Liquid Realm expert!’
Immediately, the surrounding students once again gasped in shock.
‘Tell me, is Ye Yunfei a match for Tang Tianhao?’
Some students couldn’t help but whisper.
‘I think Ye Yunfei probably isn’t a match for Tang Tianhao.
Ye Yunfei's combat power is indeed terrifying.
A single person defeating dozens of Yuan Foundation Realm experts.
However, the Mystic Liquid Realm is different.
Mystic Liquid Realm experts are a whole major realm above the Yuan Foundation Realm; they cannot be compared at all.’
‘True.
I don't have high hopes for Ye Yunfei either.
I think, at most, Ye Yunfei might manage to hold his own against Tang Tianhao for a brief moment.
But he will definitely lose.
He cannot possibly defeat a Mystic Liquid Realm expert!’
...
Many students voiced their opinions, the majority believing Ye Yunfei was no match for Tang Tianhao.
‘Brat, offending our Xiao Sect was the biggest mistake of your life!’
By now, Tang Tianhao had walked right up to Ye Yunfei, sneering coldly as he spoke, his tone dripping with cruelty.
