"You laid an ambush here specifically to kill me.
Who are you?"
Ye Yunfei asked, staring at the black-robed man.
"Who I am is not important.
Ye Yunfei, today you must die."
The black-robed man replied indifferently.
As soon as the words fell.
BOOM…
An absolutely terrifying energy pressure erupted from his body like a volcanic explosion.
The energy pressure of a Primordial Soul Realm expert was indeed terrifyingly powerful.
BOOM…
The space within the palace shook violently, seeming unable to bear the force.
Then.
Whoosh!
The black-robed man transformed into a streak of black light, charging towards Ye Yunfei at extreme speed.
A mighty deluge of energy pressure surged towards Ye Yunfei like a roaring tsunami.
Ye Yunfei's body instantly sank down heavily.
Da Di Daozhang was oppressed to the point of his body immediately bending over, nearly kneeling on the ground.
Ye Yunfei shuddered, releasing semi-Jiao strength from his body.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he teleported Da Di Daozhang into the Phantom Tower.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei activated his Heavenly Shadow Robe and retreated at full speed.
The energy pressure released by a Primordial Soul Realm expert was simply too formidable, invisibly slowing Ye Yunfei's movement speed significantly.
BOOM…
The black-robed man's figure, carrying immense energy, rushed towards Ye Yunfei like a tidal wave crashing against the shore.
"Taste my Five Ghosts Yin Blade!"
The black-robed man gave a sinister laugh. Suddenly, his body emitted a bizarre black energy that distorted all light in the surrounding space.
Then, he raised his right hand, using it as a blade, and chopped down at Ye Yunfei.
On the hand-blade, five fierce ghostly faces materialized, emitting harrowing, mournful cries, as if weeping, begging for mercy, or confessing!
BOOM…
The hand-blade, accompanied by the five ghostly faces, instantly arrived in front of Ye Yunfei.
ROAR…
Ye Yunfei roared, punching out with both fists simultaneously. He executed the first eight moves of the True Demon God-Slaying Fist in a continuous, linked combo.
BOOM…
A giant golden sphere three hundred meters in diameter shot out from Ye Yunfei's dantian, erupting with rolling golden radiance as it smashed towards the black-robed man.
Buzz… Buzz…
Five spirit swords shot forth, forming the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, grinding and shredding forward.
ROAR…
A dazzling round totem wheel appeared behind Ye Yunfei. Nine Divine Beasts simultaneously charged out from the wheel, pouncing forward to attack.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword, attacking into the black-robed man's Soul Sea.
It could be said, at this moment, Ye Yunfei had employed all his means!
Facing a Primordial Soul Realm expert, Ye Yunfei dared not show the slightest carelessness.
BOOM… BOOM…
Both sides' attacks collided violently.
BANG…
After a few exchanges, Ye Yunfei's body was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground in the distance.
"Indeed, I still cannot defeat a Primordial Soul Realm opponent yet."
Ye Yunfei scrambled up quickly, wiping the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. His expression was extremely grim.
"How is this possible!
You were actually able to withstand a few moves from me and suffered only light injuries!"
The black-robed man was utterly shocked, barely able to believe it.
He was a Primordial Soul Realm expert!
Even a Great Mystic Pill Realm cultivator would be unable to withstand a single move from him!
"What an extraordinary prodigy.
Even more prodigious than Tang Yang from all those years ago!
However, it is often heavenly-chosen geniuses, prodigies like you, who do not live long.
Accept your death obediently!"
The black-robed man said coldly.
As soon as the words fell.
BOOM…
The black-robed man's body shot forward like a cannonball, rushing towards Ye Yunfei at extreme speed.
Whoosh…
Ye Yunfei retreated rapidly.
However, this black-robed man's strength was too overwhelming. In his every action, he seemed to control this space. In moments, he had caught up to Ye Yunfei.
BANG…
After a few more exchanges, Ye Yunfei's body was blasted away again, crashing into the distant wall and coughing up blood continuously.
This time, Ye Yunfei's injuries were even heavier.
"Die!"
The black-robed man laughed maniacally, charging towards Ye Yunfei at extreme speed.
"With just you, killing me is still impossible."
Ye Yunfei climbed to his feet. Inside his body, a blue-green energy was rapidly repairing his fleshly wounds.
The Greenwood Emperor Body possessed powerful self-regenerative abilities.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei's injuries were healing rapidly!
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei did not linger to fight. He turned and charged towards the palace entrance.
"Hahaha…
You cannot escape."
The black-robed man gave swift chase.
Soon, he caught up to Ye Yunfei again.
BANG!
In less than two moves, Ye Yunfei was struck by his palm. Ye Yunfei's body was thrown far away once more, crashing to the ground and vomiting great mouthfuls of blood.
Ye Yunfei simply flipped over, stood up without a word, and rushed towards the palace gates.
Soon, Ye Yunfei was overtaken again.
BANG…
In a mere single move, Ye Yunfei was sent flying again.
But Ye Yunfei tumbled, got up, and immediately ran.
"He can still run?
I've hit him several times now, why is he still alive and kicking!
Just how is he unkillable?!"
The black-robed man was somewhat dumbfounded.
As a Primordial Soul Realm expert, he had struck Ye Yunfei's body several times consecutively, yet Ye Yunfei was still moving freely!
This was simply inconceivable!
Considering his battle prowess, even if it was a peer of equal level he struck, they would likely be dead!
Whoosh!
Taking advantage of the black-robed man's momentary daze, Ye Yunfei had already charged to the palace gates.
"Old bastard, I'll remember today's events."
Ye Yunfei stood at the palace entrance. He glanced back at the black-robed man, his teeth gritted as he spoke.
Then, Ye Yunfei turned and ran out of the palace.
"Halt!"
The black-robed man shouted in shock and anger, suddenly accelerating and transforming into a streak of black light charging towards Ye Yunfei.
RUMBLE…
At this moment, he exerted his full strength. Rushing energy pressure like a mountain collapsing and an ocean pouring out surged towards Ye Yunfei.
BANG…
Ye Yunfei's body was struck by the terrifying energy, directly being hurled away and flung outside the palace gates.
"Damn it!
Just why is this brat unkillable?!"
Inside the palace, the black-robed man's face was filled with rage.
However, he did not pursue outside.
Ye Yunfei's body shot out of the palace like a cannonball, landing on the plaza outside with a crash.
Outside the palace, Tang Bo, Elder Jin, and a group of students were waiting when they suddenly saw Ye Yunfei being flung out.
Because the interior of this palace had been arranged with barrier formations.
Therefore, what happened inside was unknown to those outside.
Even powerful experts like Tang Bo and Elder Jin hadn't noticed anything amiss.
"What happened?"
Everyone's gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei who had crash-landed on the ground.
Tang Bo's figure flashed, arriving beside Ye Yunfei. With a flick of his sleeve, he helped Ye Yunfei up.
The current Ye Yunfei's clothes were disheveled, he was stained with blood, covered in wounds, and injuries were everywhere.
"Looks like Su Ye failed the assessment!"
"I said so all along. How could someone at the Grotto-Heaven Tenth Realm possibly pass the Intermediate Student assessment?!"
…
The students in the plaza saw Ye Yunfei's disheveled state and immediately began murmuring.
"Su Ye, what exactly happened in there?"
However, Tang Bo was the first to sense something amiss and asked aloud.
"Something might have happened inside the assessment palace!
Let's go in and take a look!"
Elder Jin said gravely.
He knew that, given Ye Yunfei's combat power, he should absolutely not be unable to defeat five late-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm puppets!
