"What?
Ye Yunfei is still alive?"
In front of Hudao Academy, everyone turned to look.
The two sides that had been fighting also stopped.
"We're done for!"
The members of the four top factions trembled all over at the sight of Ye Yunfei, as if a basin of ice and snow had been poured over them, chilling them to the bone.
Meanwhile, the people of Hudao Academy let out earth-shattering cheers.
"Headmaster Ye is back alive!"
The high-ranking members including Xie Changkong were each incredibly agitated. Every single one of them finally let out a deep sigh of relief. Everyone understood that with Ye Yunfei's return, Hudao Academy's crisis was over.
"Brother Fei, I knew you were still alive!"
"Boss, it's great to see you! Boss is mighty and undefeated! You bunch of worthless top factions, just wait for my boss to beat you up!"
"I told you, that big freak wasn't a man destined to die young!"
...
Within Hudao Academy's ranks, Zhou Mu, Wu Heishan, Wen Zi, Xiao Hui, Long Yingying, and the others shouted especially loudly. Wu Heishan, in particular, yelled at the top of his lungs, utterly thrilled.
"Haha! I knew my son, the son of Ye Tianpeng, wouldn't die so easily!"
Deep within Hudao Academy, Ye Tianpeng, hearing the roars from outside, immediately flew out. The moment he saw Ye Yunfei, he couldn't hold back his tears and laughed heartily.
"Good! Good! Good!
The true dragon of our Ye Family is safe and sound!"
The seven elders of the Ye Family each growled lowly in excitement.
Under the gazes of the crowd—filled with shock, fear, or excitement—Ye Yunfei approached step by step, his hands clasped behind his back.
Ah!
As Ye Yunfei took a step forward, one of the Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm experts surrounding Xie Changkong suddenly let out a wretched scream, his body flying backward to die on the spot.
Ah!
Ye Yunfei took another step forward, and another Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert screamed miserably, blood flowing from his nose and mouth, clearly beyond saving.
Ah!
Yet another Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert flew backward.
Just like that, Ye Yunfei took eight consecutive steps in mid-air.
With each step, a Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert fell dead!
After eight steps, all eight Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm experts surrounding Xie Changkong were dead!
What made the surrounding people even more terrified was that no one had seen how Ye Yunfei made his move.
Because, throughout the entire process, Ye Yunfei had kept his hands clasped behind his back, as if taking a leisurely stroll!
Only those Grotto-Heaven Realm experts understood that Ye Yunfei had likely used a Soul Power combat technique to kill them.
That's right. Those eight Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm experts had been killed by Ye Yunfei using his Heavenly Soul Sword.
Given Ye Yunfei's current Soul Power level, the Heavenly Soul Sword he unleashed could even contend with a mid-stage Minor Profound Elixir expert, let alone these Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm experts.
After killing the eight Tenth Level experts, Ye Yunfei had already walked to a position close by. His cold eyes swept over the members of the four top factions.
At this moment, though Ye Yunfei hadn't uttered a single word, his ferocious might shook the heavens!
Clack clack…
Within the ranks of the four top factions, many were already trembling with fear, their teeth chattering uncontrollably.
Ye Yunfei's temperament was well known to everyone. He was the type to definitely repay vengeance, never showing mercy!
"Dean Xie, don't worry. No one can destroy our Hudao Academy."
At this point, Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon Xie Changkong.
"Haha…
With you back, I'm certainly not worried!"
Xie Changkong laughed heartily. At the corner of his mouth, blood seeped out—an injury sustained from being besieged by the eight Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm experts during the earlier fight. Had it not been for the Hudao Stele, Xie Changkong would have died long ago. Yet, his face was now filled with nothing but joy and excitement.
Ye Yunfei's eyes moved to the other high-ranking members, nodding and smiling at them. All of them were extremely moved.
"Father, don't worry. I'm fine."
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted into the distance, landing on Ye Tianpeng, and he spoke with a smile.
"Being fine is good enough!"
Ye Tianpeng was filled with gratified warmth, his eyes red-rimmed.
Then.
Ye Yunfei's eyes turned cold and sharp. He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the forces of the four top factions.
"You four factions have constantly provoked our Hudao Academy. Did you truly think that I, Ye Yunfei, am soft-hearted and wouldn't kill you all?"
Having said that, a cold sneer appeared on Ye Yunfei's face.
"Today, your blood shall stain this land crimson, as a warning to the world.
All who dare violate Hudao Academy shall be granted no quarter!"
Buzz buzz…
As soon as Ye Yunfei's words fell, five spirit swords shot out abruptly.
Their blades were crystalline and dazzlingly brilliant, instilling awe. Sword energy spread like a vast sea, shaking this expanse of heaven and earth.
"Damn it!
How is this calamity still alive?"
At this moment, the high-ranking members of the four top factions all trembled in their legs, almost turning to flee right away.
Earlier, the eight strongest Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm experts among the four top factions had all been slain by Ye Yunfei.
Now, there were still over a hundred Grotto-Heaven Realm experts remaining.
However, these Grotto-Heaven Realm experts had completely lost their will to fight!
There wasn't even anyone who dared to meet Ye Yunfei's gaze directly.
Not long ago, Ye Yunfei had slaughtered over four thousand Grotto-Heaven Realm experts from the Otherworldly Army in a single battle. His fierce might was too overwhelming!
"Ye Yunfei, I admit that this time, my Shenfeng Sect has gone too far.
Our two reclusive elders were killed by you just now, which can also be considered a hefty price paid.
As long as you are willing to spare our Shenfeng Sect, I swear that our Shenfeng Sect will never oppose you again from now on, and never provoke Hudao Academy again.
Furthermore, our Shenfeng Sect will also pay a large sum in compensation, guaranteed to satisfy you!"
A certain elder of the Shenfeng Sect suddenly gritted his teeth, braced himself, stepped forward, and spoke up.
He was the Grand Elder of the Shenfeng Sect. His status within the sect was almost comparable to that of the sect leader.
Buzz…
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger, and the five spirit swords surged forward in a twisting slaughter. In an instant, this Shenfeng Sect Grand Elder was shredded to pieces.
"There's no need for compensation. That's because all four of your factions will be exterminated today.
All the assets and resources of your four factions shall belong to Hudao Academy."
Ye Yunfei stated coldly.
"Ye Yunfei, my Shenfeng Sect has stood tall in the Tianxuan Continent for several hundred years! Our heritage is ancient, and our foundations run deep. How could you destroy us just by saying so!"
Another elder of the Shenfeng Sect stepped out, angrily cursing.
Buzz…
The five-element spirit swords surged forth as one, instantly grinding this elder into dust.
Seeing Ye Yunfei act with such decisive ruthlessness, everyone present felt chills of terror.
"Everyone, Ye Yunfei will definitely not let us off!
Let's all attack together and fight him with everything we've got! Only then might we have a sliver of a chance to survive!
Otherwise, none of us will escape!"
The leader of the Shenfeng Sect roared lowly.
"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei offered no nonsense. With a pointed finger and a light shout, he commanded.
The five spirit swords, gleaming with five-colored brilliance, their sword energy like a vast sea, surged toward the Shenfeng Sect's forces for slaughter.
"Attack together!"
The thirty-odd Grotto-Heaven Realm experts of the Shenfeng Sect all gritted their teeth and stepped forward in unison.
Ye Yunfei's attitude had made them understand that reconciliation was absolutely impossible!
Their only choice was a fight to the death!
