To put it simply, the power Ye Yunfei had displayed was simply incomprehensible.
At only the late-stage Great Mystic Pill Realm, besieged by over a thousand martial artists—including more than three hundred Primordial Soul Realm experts—not only did he not lose, but he had instead gained the upper hand, nearly exterminating the entire Liu Family forces!
Seeing such a scene was enough to make one's blood run cold.
For a time, both inside and outside Willow City fell into a deathly silence.
Only the rolling residual waves of energy left over from the battle remained, transforming into howling hurricanes that surged and roared.
The ground was littered everywhere with severed limbs and shattered bones; rivers of blood flowed.
The thick scent of blood soared straight into the sky.
At this moment, Willow City was like a grave!
Clack clack...
Many cowardly martial artists were already trembling all over, their upper and lower teeth clattering together.
"Your turn!"
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept towards the other Primordial Soul Realm experts.
These Primordial Soul Realm experts consisted of Ancient Demon Race members, those from the Tianji Sect, and others from various forces within the Xuanhuang Star Domain.
With a movement of his body, Ye Yunfei rushed into that Roc manifestation, merging with it as one.
Boom!
The Roc's pair of sky-shading wings suddenly flapped, its enormous form surging forward.
In the next instant, it strangely teleported in front of a Primordial Soul Realm expert.
Bang!
The Roc's two wings, each over a hundred meters long, swept forward in a pincer attack, directly slicing that Primordial Soul Realm expert into four pieces. He died miserably on the spot.
"Attack together! Combine our strength against him! Don't let him pick us off one by one!"
A towering Ancient Demon Race member, seven or eight meters tall, roared.
And then…
Boom! Boom!
Fifty to sixty Ancient Demon Race experts emerged simultaneously, all at the Primordial Soul Realm.
The Ancient Demon Race relied on their physical advantages; their combat power generally surpassed that of human martial artists of the same rank!
During the previous battle, these Ancient Demon Race experts hadn't charged at the very front. They had intentionally lurked at the back.
Their intention was to let other martial artists exhaust Ye Yunfei first, while also gauging his true combat power.
Thus, only now did they finally charge forward.
"Correct!
Attack him simultaneously!
We have superior numbers, there's no need to fear him!"
A grey-robed middle-aged man appeared, shouting loudly.
Embroidered on the robe of this grey-robed middle-aged man was the image of a tortoise shell. He was from the Tianji Sect!
Fifty to sixty Primordial Soul Realm experts from the Tianji Sect followed beside this grey-robed middle-aged man, charging towards Ye Yunfei together.
These Tianji Sect experts hadn't initially joined the attack against Ye Yunfei with full force either, preferring to let others risk their lives against him first.
"Kill!"
The experts from the Ancient Demon Race and the Tianji Sect acted in unison, simultaneously encircling and attacking Ye Yunfei.
Boom! Boom!
They launched their attacks at the same time. One surge of berserk energy attack after another, or one activated magic treasure after another, blasted towards Ye Yunfei.
Swoosh!
Facing these attacks, Ye Yunfei did not meet them head-on. Instead, he utilized spatial energy, vanishing into space and disappearing.
The next moment.
"Damn it!"
The faces of those Ancient Demon Race and Tianji Sect experts all turned gloomy.
Ye Yunfei's technique of vanishing into space at will gave them a massive headache.
Shiing!
In the next instant, a streak of black light abruptly appeared behind an Ancient Demon Race member at the mid-stage Primordial Soul Realm.
Roar...
This demon felt a crisis of death, his hair standing on end. He roared in fury.
However, the Dark Thorn's speed was truly too fast. Before this demon could muster any reaction, the Dark Thorn had already pierced through his heart.
Boom…
At the exact moment the Dark Thorn pierced that demon's heart, a Roc appeared in front of another Ancient Demon Race expert, crashing into him.
Bang!
That demon's tall demonic body was shattered on the spot. Countless demonic blood and shattered bones rained down from high in the sky.
Roar…
At this moment, the Gluttonous Beast also appeared behind a third Ancient Demon Race expert. Its dark, abyssal mouth fiercely bit down, crushing half of that demon's demonic body.
In less than a second.
Three Ancient Demon Race experts were killed simultaneously!
From then on…
Shiing Shiing…
A streak of black light flickered in and out of existence, moving at a shocking speed and from uncanny angles, continuously assassinating those Primordial Soul Realm experts.
The Dark Thorn was originally a top assassination tool of the Tianyou Tomb, possessing formidable assassination capabilities.
Ye Yunfei had refined the Void Blade into it, making the Dark Thorn's assassination power even more terrifying.
Primordial Soul Realm experts found it extremely difficult to evade!
One Primordial Soul Realm expert after another was continuously killed by the Dark Thorn.
Coupled with the Roc and the Gluttonous Beast, they slaughtered the Primordial Soul Realm experts, causing them to shriek miserably and perish continuously.
Ye Yunfei, meanwhile, stood at a distance, watching those constantly dying Primordial Soul Realm experts with a cold smile!
"Ye Yunfei, die!"
That grey-robed middle-aged man executed a bizarre movement technique, rushing towards Ye Yunfei like a wisp of grey smoke.
Boom…
With a flick of his sleeve, a palm-sized turtle shell flew out. It grew with the wind, continuously expanding.
In an instant, it transformed to the size of several acres of land, rumbling as it crushed towards Ye Yunfei.
On the surface of the turtle shell was the image of an innate Eight Trigrams Diagram, flashing brilliantly and releasing a terrifying, oppressive energy might that seemed capable of suppressing space, time, and the passing years.
"I truly never imagined that Tianji Sect's techniques actually contained some laws of time."
Seeing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but nod inwardly.
However, these faint traces of time laws were utterly insignificant in Ye Yunfei's eyes.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei executed the Heavenly Soul Sword, attacking the grey-robed middle-aged man's soul sea.
Hum!
The Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation dragged along a vast sea of bright sword qi, grinding its way towards that grey-robed middle-aged man.
Ah...
In less than three moves, that grey-robed middle-aged man was utterly ground to dust, his body shattered into pieces.
As time passed, the number of Primordial Soul Realm experts Ye Yunfei killed continued to increase.
Earlier, over three hundred Primordial Soul Realm experts had encircled him.
By now, the Primordial Soul Realm experts still alive numbered less than a hundred!
And out of the over a thousand martial artists who had besieged Ye Yunfei, only around three hundred remained!
In other words, two-thirds of the over a thousand martial artists who had besieged Ye Yunfei had been killed by him!
Both inside and outside Willow City, the ground was littered with severed limbs and mangled flesh. A single glance revealed a scene of carnage and bloodshed everywhere, akin to a slaughterhouse!
Those who remained were also thoroughly terrified, their fighting spirit completely extinguished.
All the martial artists who had participated in besieging Ye Yunfei, including the Primordial Soul Realm experts, were now stealthily retreating, putting distance between themselves and Ye Yunfei.
They were genuinely afraid!
"Retreat!
All members of our Zixia Gate, retreat immediately!"
The Master of Zixia Gate was utterly terrified. Leading the several dozen remaining members of his sect, he prepared to flee.
"Since you came, you might as well stay."
It would have been fine if the Zixia Gate Master hadn't spoken, but as soon as he did, Ye Yunfei's gaze locked onto him. "Stay," he said coldly.
Hum…
With a point of his finger, Ye Yunfei sent the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation grinding its way over.
"Ye Yunfei, Young Master Ye, Sir Ye... have mercy! Spare me..."
The Zixia Gate Master's face turned pale with fright. He actually began to cry out loudly for mercy.
The strength of the Zixia Gate was even weaker than that of the Tianzhou Liu Family. Even the Liu Family had been almost completely wiped out by Ye Yunfei; what did a mere Zixia Gate amount to?
Sadly, Ye Yunfei would show not a shred of mercy towards his enemies!
Ah! Ah…
The Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation ground its way through, and in moments, it annihilated all members of the Zixia Gate, including its master, leaving not a single soul behind.
"Wretched offspring! Why did you provoke such a terrifying murderous demon king, leading to the destruction of our Zixia Gate!"
Just before dying, filled with boundless regret and resentment, the Zixia Gate Master couldn't help but curse his already-dead son.
"The Zixia Gate is finished too!"
At this moment, all present had long been completely dumbstruck, staring at Ye Yunfei with horrified gazes.
In everyone's eyes, the current Ye Yunfei stood amidst a sea of gore and mountain of corpses, enveloped in layers of bloody light, like a god of slaughter who had walked out from the Nine Nether Abyss!
"Yanran, the Liu Family is finished, the Zixia Gate is finished, so many Primordial Soul Realm experts have been killed... You are saved. Our Jiang Family is saved!"
At this moment, on the high platform at the center of the square, beside Jiang Yanran, her mother stared at Ye Yunfei with stunned eyes, saying excitedly.
"Yes... we are saved.
I never imagined... his strength was actually this formidable!"
Jiang Yanran's beautiful eyes remained fixed on Ye Yunfei as she replied with a bitter smile.
"Elder Zhuogu! If you don't make your move now, we will all be slaughtered!"
Right at this moment, an Ancient Demon Race expert suddenly roared.
"Soul Formation Realm experts are finally about to make their move, huh?"
Ye Yunfei chuckled faintly.
Just as the crowd was bewildered...
Boom! Boom!
One figure after another, exuding terrifyingly powerful auras, continuously appeared.
In moments, over a dozen Soul Formation Realm experts appeared simultaneously, like over a dozen living volcanos releasing torrential waves of power that caused the heavens and earth to shake violently.
"No!
These are Soul Formation Realm experts!"
On the high platform at the square's center, Jiang Yanran couldn't help but feel her heart sink as she murmured.
"Lady Jiang, we have come to rescue you."
Right then, an old man shrouded in a gloomy, ghostly aura suddenly appeared beside Jiang Yanran.
"Hehe, Sister Jiang, look how concerned our master is about you, sending us specifically to rescue you," said an extremely enchanting young woman who also appeared beside Jiang Yanran, smiling with endless charm.
