Just moments after Ye Yunfei’s spaceship left the Karakum Desert.
Another spaceship rapidly arrived, stopping in the air above the spot where Ye Yunfei had just slain the fifteen Demon Camels.
‘They seem to have already taken action. Demon Camels usually gather in groups of a dozen or so. Could they have already completed this task?’
Five students stepped out of the spaceship, looking at the nearly sand-buried bloodstains below in surprise.
‘It seems the two of them are quite formidable in combat,’ one of the students remarked.
‘They’re nothing but two ants to us. Let’s hurry and catch up to kill them, so we can report back to Elder Ruan,’ another student said.
‘We have full knowledge of all the tasks they accepted. We know exactly where they are heading. Don’t worry, they can’t escape. Let’s pursue!’
One student laughed.
Thus, the five students returned to their spaceship and chased after Ye Yunfei’s vessel.
Shortly after these five students’ spaceship departed.
Yet another black spaceship, ghost-like, appeared in the sky above this desert.
‘Ye Yunfei has already left the Karakum Desert. Relay the information. Mobilize personnel and set up an interception!’
A middle-aged man inside the ship said solemnly.
Whoosh!
The spaceship trembled lightly and instantly sped away.
Over the next few days.
Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang traveled at their fastest speed to reach one destination after another.
Among the tasks Ye Yunfei had accepted, the strongest targets were, at most, at the late stage of Minor Mystic Pill Realm.
For Ye Yunfei, they posed neither difficulty nor challenge!
One could say that Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang spent most of their time on travel.
Once they reached their destination, Ye Yunfei would take action, completing the tasks in almost no time.
Ye Yunfei was quite satisfied with the spaceship Elder Tang had given. At full speed, it sometimes took only half a day to reach the next destination.
Five days later.
Northern Wastelands, Zhao Province.
Within the territory of Tianjin Empire, Sky-Blue Mountains.
A spaceship cruised slowly at high altitude over the Sky-Blue Mountains.
‘According to the intel, the lair of the Cold-Blooded Thirteen Hawks should be within this Sky-Blue Mountain range. However, the mountains are too vast. Moreover, the Cold-Blooded Thirteen Hawks are vicious bandits who have committed every evil deed; each one is cruel and cunning. They are bound to be well-hidden. Finding them quickly won’t be easy.’
Inside the spaceship, Da Di Daozhang said with a furrowed brow.
‘No need to search,’
Ye Yunfei said.
Then, Ye Yunfei had the spaceship stop.
Ye Yunfei stepped out of the ship.
Gu gu…
Ye Yunfei opened his mouth and drew a mighty, deep breath.
Like a whale gulping seawater, he drained all the air within a several-mile radius.
Then, Ye Yunfei unleashed the Lion's Roar Technique of the Feral Lion Tribe.
‘Cold-Blooded Thirteen Hawks! Come out here and face your death!’
Ye Yunfei roared.
This roar was like the trumpeting of dragon-elephants, stirring mountains and rivers, terrifying all directions.
Boom…
Centered on Ye Yunfei, a visible wave of sound, vast and mighty like a tsunami in full surge, swept out in all directions.
Immediately, down in the mountain range, forests crumbled one after another under the sonic assault, reduced to ruins.
Viewed from afar, it seemed as if a super typhoon had swept through. Across the sprawling mountains, countless woods were destroyed, beasts stampeded, and birds fled, leaving utter chaos.
‘Let’s change position and call out a few more times. The Cold-Blooded Thirteen Hawks will definitely hear,’
Ye Yunfei said to Da Di Daozhang as he returned to the spaceship.
Next, Ye Yunfei changed positions several times within the Sky-Blue Mountains, utilizing the Lion's Roar Technique and shouting repeatedly.
Finally.
‘Seeking death! A puny Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm and a mid-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm dare to provoke us!’
Finally, thirteen fierce figures converged from all directions, encircling Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang.
In fact, they had heard Ye Yunfei’s first shout.
Their delayed appearance was due to them secretly observing, trying to gauge the newcomers’ strength.
Now, they had confirmed that those provoking them were two young lads—one at Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm and one at mid-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm!
‘Oh, finally decided to show yourselves?’
Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
Whoosh whoosh…
Thirteen men radiating killing intent surrounded Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang.
These thirteen men all exuded an aura of bravado, their faces and bodies crisscrossed with scars from blades and swords, faint halos of bloodlight hovering around them.
Clearly, each was a desperado who had lived long by the knife!
‘Two greenhorns dare to provoke us! Speak! Which sect or family do you two brats come from!’
One of the men, built like an iron tower with fierce eyes, shouted sharply.
‘You are the Cold-Blooded Thirteen Hawks?’
Ye Yunfei asked calmly, his hands clasped behind his back.
‘That’s right. We are the renowned Cold-Blooded Thirteen Hawks. Little punk, you’d better answer our boss’s question honestly. Angry him, and we’ll skin you alive later. Don’t come crying then.’
A one-eyed big man with only a single eye remaining said mockingly.
Ha ha ha…
The other men laughed and jeered in agreement.
They had already treated Ye Yunfei and his companion as lambs for slaughter.
‘You have no need to know who we are. Because you are about to die.’
Ye Yunfei said flatly.
‘Seeking death! Brat, I’ll dig your heart out and eat it bite by bite!’
A vicious-looking, short but burly man roared savagely. His hands transformed into eagle claws, phantom shadows flashing as he lunged toward Ye Yunfei’s heart.
This man’s cultivation was at mid-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the man’s dual claws to strike his chest with a thunderous impact.
‘Too weak.’
Ye Yunfei sneered coldly.
Ye Yunfei had mastered the Greenwood Emperor Body to great perfection; how could a mere mid-stage Small Core Formation cultivator injure him?
‘How is this possible? Even a late-stage Small Core Formation expert would be half-dead from my claw strike! He’s completely unharmed!’
The man, both shocked and afraid, hastily retreated.
But it was too late.
Ye Yunfei threw a punch, instantly piercing through the man’s body with a bloody hole and shattering his heart.
‘This kid is strange! Kill him together!’
The remaining twelve hawks were both shocked and furious, attacking simultaneously.
Boom boom…
Several violent attacks struck Ye Yunfei’s body at the same time like crashing waves.
Ye Yunfei’s body swayed slightly, the flow of Qi and blood within him accelerating a bit.
However, he suffered no injury whatsoever.
Standing in the center, Ye Yunfei retaliated with punches while enduring their assaults.
Bang bang bang…
Ye Yunfei delivered one punch per man. In the blink of an eye, eight were slain.
Only four of the Cold-Blooded Thirteen Hawks remained!
All four were at the late stage of Minor Mystic Pill Realm!
Click clack…
The remaining four’s teeth began to chatter slightly with fear.
They finally realized that this seemingly young lad before them was not the lamb they had initially presumed, but a terrifying prehistoric beast.
‘Run!’
One man shouted, turning to flee.
‘Too late.’
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly, activated his Heavenly Shadow Robe, caught up to the man in a single step, and punched him dead.
The remaining three men lost all will to fight, each desperately trying to escape.
But Ye Yunfei’s speed far surpassed theirs. He chased them down one by one and eliminated them all.
Thus, the notorious Cold-Blooded Thirteen Hawks plaguing the region were eliminated by Ye Yunfei.
‘Another task completed.’
Ye Yunfei flicked his sleeve with a smile.
‘At this rate, it won’t take long to accumulate ten thousand Contribution Points.’
Da Di Daozhang said.
At that moment.
Clap clap clap…
A round of applause sounded.
Five young men then stepped through the air, locking onto Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang.
‘Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Junior Brother Su Ye has just entered the Heavenly Dao Academy, yet his strength is astonishing. Truly remarkable.’
One of the young men, who had a jade-like face and was waving a folding fan, said with a smile. He was the one who had just clapped.
‘You are also students of the Heavenly Dao Academy?’
Ye Yunfei asked with a frown.
These five young men were all Great Mystic Pill Realm experts!
‘Indeed. We are all students of the Heavenly Dao Academy,’
The fan-wielding man replied.
‘And your purpose in seeking us out?’
Ye Yunfei inquired.
‘We are here to kill you,’
Another man in a purple robe stated coldly.
‘Why?’
Ye Yunfei’s expression darkened.
‘Since you two are about to die, I’ll tell you. The reason the five of us have come to kill you is because you killed the Liu Family’s eldest young lady from Tianzhou, offending Elder Ruan.’
The fan-wielding man said with a smirk.
‘Ruan Shiguang!’
Ye Yunfei uttered coldly.
‘Why waste so many words on this ant? Just kill him and report back to Elder Ruan.’
A burly man said impatiently.
‘You five will die here. There will be no chance to report back to that old man.’
Ye Yunfei shook his head.
