Then, Ye Yunfei gently clenched his fists, and a roaring sound akin to a tsunami erupted from within his body, as though a primordial behemoth was roaring inside.
The terrifying power of his physical body caused the surrounding space to shake violently, vibrating intensely.
"My current physical strength has reached roughly twenty-five million jin," he said to himself. "Defeating a Second-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert wouldn't even be difficult now."
A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Yunfei's face.
"Then, starting from now, there's no need for me to keep lying low when traveling across the Tianxuan Continent."
Ye Yunfei spoke softly to himself.
"Alright, it's time to end this seclusion."
Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower.
"I should go see how Wu Heishan and the others are doing."
Stepping out of the secret chamber, his gaze turned towards the area designated for Seed Students as he murmured.
Wu Heishan, Du Gu Huan, Xiao Hui, Yuan Dayong, and the others had all become Seed Students and had long since moved into that designated area.
However, just as Ye Yunfei was about to activate his movement technique and soar into the air...
Swish, swish, swish...
Seven pitch-black, ink-like longswords abruptly appeared within the surrounding space, each sword aimed at a vital point on Ye Yunfei's body.
"Assassins from Tianyou Tomb!"
Ye Yunfei's expression darkened.
"This time, I'll make sure you come but never leave!"
Killing intent blazed fiercely in Ye Yunfei's eyes.
Each of the seven longswords emanated the spiritual pressure of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
This time, there were seven assassins with strength at the Grotto-Heaven Realm!
Among them, five were at the First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm, and two were at the Second-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm!
The five longswords, like venomous snakes, arrived around Ye Yunfei's body with astonishing speed in an instant.
Ye Yunfei immediately activated his Greenwood Emperor Body. All over his body, dazzling green radiance bloomed forth.
Boom...
Horrifying physical strength poured out from him, like a hundred thousand volcanoes erupting simultaneously.
Then,
Ye Yunfei's fists shot out like lightning, one after the other.
In the same moment, he threw seven consecutive punches.
Ye Yunfei intended to use his bare flesh to forcefully clash against those seven longswords!
"Heh heh...
An arrogant brat, daring to clash with our swords using just his flesh!"
A sinister, cold laugh sounded.
Seven Grotto-Heaven Realm masters, striking with their full power, and a junior actually dared to meet them with his fists.
He was far too audacious!
Clang! Clang! Clang...
Before that sinister laughter faded, seven distinct metallic clashing sounds rang out, almost at the same time.
"How is this possible?!"
The figures of seven black-clad old men wearing specially made masks appeared, each letting out low exclamations of shock.
"You people of Tianyou Tomb have come repeatedly to assassinate me. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
Ye Yunfei snorted coldly.
As soon as the words left his mouth...
Hum...
Five spirit swords shot out from within Ye Yunfei's body, forming the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, slashing towards one of the assassins.
Szzz!
The Void Blade shot out from Ye Yunfei's chest, vanished instantly, and then reappeared already slicing in front of another assassin.
With Ye Yunfei's current spiritual power realm being early Mystic Liquid Realm, the power of the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and Flying Sword Technique he executed naturally increased significantly as well.
Killing any Mystic Liquid Realm martial artist instantly was no problem.
Even against First and Second-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm experts, they could exert considerable restraining force now.
Boom!
A one-meter-diameter Blazing Sun surged violently from Ye Yunfei's dantian, emitting dazzling golden radiance, rumbling forward to crush a third assassin.
Roar...
A brilliant circular diagram soared into the sky from Ye Yunfei's back.
On the nine-square grid of that diagram, three Divine Beasts, the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, and the Glutton, appeared simultaneously, each releasing waves of savage, primal aura from antiquity. They pounced towards three assassins respectively.
Ye Yunfei's speed was too fast. In the same breath, he unleashed multiple skills and martial techniques, attacking six assassins at once!
Those six assassins never imagined that Ye Yunfei would be so ferocious, so bold, as to attack six of them simultaneously.
Moreover, what shook them was that every technique and martial skill Ye Yunfei deployed was extraordinarily powerful!
Then, Ye Yunfei fixed his gaze on the last assassin,
a master with the strength of the First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm.
"You die first!"
Ye Yunfei took a step forward, all twenty-five million jin of physical strength channeled into his fists.
Boom, boom...
Ye Yunfei unleashed the True Demon God-Slaying Fist techniques, from the first move to the seventh, all in one breath, striking towards that assassin.
With his current physical strength, defeating a Second-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert wasn't hard, let alone a First Level one.
Frighteningly powerful fist imprints whistled through the air towards the assassin.
The assassin was utterly powerless to resist Ye Yunfei's god-like strength.
He was forced to retreat step by step.
Smash!
In less than two breaths' time, Ye Yunfei's fist connected with the assassin's body.
"Ah!"
The assassin let out a miserable cry as his physical body directly exploded, transforming into a bloody mist that scattered with the wind.
Twenty-five million jin of physical strength acting upon a human body—one could easily imagine the destructive power!
"How is this possible?!"
The other six assassins, seeing Ye Yunfei kill a First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert with a single punch, were all startled, unable to believe it.
"Your turn!"
Ye Yunfei locked onto another First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm assassin. Activating the Shadow Heaven Cloak, with a *whoosh*, he instantly teleported right in front of the assassin, face to face.
With the recent significant improvements in both his spiritual power realm and physical strength, Ye Yunfei's movement speed naturally increased tremendously.
Coupled with the tenfold speed increase of the Shadow Heaven Cloak, once activated, the effect was truly terrifying!
He was so fast that these First and Second-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm experts couldn't perceive his movement, nor react!
"You're seeking death!"
The assassin, both shocked and furious, swung his sword to slash at Ye Yunfei.
Swoosh...
The inky-black longsword surged with an extreme, horrifying pressure of spiritual power. Like a black dragon, it coiled up a roaring hurricane, pouncing towards Ye Yunfei.
Boom, boom...
Ye Yunfei's fists shot out like lightning.
Twenty-five million jin of physical strength, combined with the True Demon God-Slaying Fist, created a lethality that was far too terrifying.
The very space nearly cracked from the impacts.
Smash!
That First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm assassin could only block two moves before Ye Yunfei's fist smashed him apart, obliterating both form and spirit.
"Be careful!"
"This brat's battle power is very strange!"
The remaining five assassins felt chills creeping up their spines.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei's movements were too fast. In an instant, he appeared before yet another First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert.
"Attack together, don't give him a chance to defeat us one by one!"
The other four assassins hastily raised their longswords, thrusting at Ye Yunfei from different angles.
But Ye Yunfei employed the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, Flying Sword Technique, Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, and Heavenly Soul Sword to block those four assassins.
"Die!"
Ye Yunfei's fists lashed out like lightning, pressing forward relentlessly, bombarding that First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm assassin.
Fist imprints, like one cannon shell after another, forced the assassin to retreat continuously.
The inky-black longsword in his hand swung desperately, creating a wall of dark sword light.
But it was useless.
He was merely First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm; he was no match for Ye Yunfei at all.
After sparring with Ye Yunfei for two breaths' time, he actually turned to flee, trying to hide.
"Haha, can you escape?!"
With one step, Ye Yunfei rushed behind him and threw a punch.
