With Ye Yunfei's current strength and the tenfold acceleration, his speed was simply astounding.
Whoosh…
One couldn't even see a afterimage before Ye Yunfei had already caught up to that Ancient Demon Race expert.
Whoosh!
The Heavenly Soul Sword pierced into the soul sea of this Ancient Demon Race expert.
Hum…
The Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation spun forward, slicing away.
Having lost all fighting spirit and focused solely on fleeing, this Ancient Demon Race expert was shredded to a bloody mist on the spot by the Five Elements Spirit Swords in his haste.
At this point, all Soul Formation Realm experts and most of the Primordial Soul Realm experts among the Ancient Demon Race in Tianlan City had been slain by Ye Yunfei alone!
Hu Miao, Huang Shang, Elder Feng, Tang Biao, and Tang Wu were busy chasing down and killing the remaining forces of the Ancient Demon Race all over Tianlan City.
Hu Miao and Huang Shang were particularly deadly, each mowing down entire swathes of enemies!
Hu Miao's illusion techniques and charm arts were formidable. When she unleashed these secret arts, entire groups of Ancient Demon Race beings would fall under her spell, standing rooted to the spot, completely defenseless.
Huang Shang's ghost arts were even more astonishing. Wherever he went, eerie ghost mists billowed, and spectral shadows danced in masses. A constant murmur of soul-summoning whispers echoed, like vengeful spirits seeking revenge.
One soul body after another of the Ancient Demon Race was dragged away by a bizarre force, flying towards Huang Shang before being devoured.
"This…"
The martial artists who had come to attend the Fourth Prince's Emergence Ceremony in the square were all dumbfounded.
The turn of events had completely exceeded their expectations.
Earlier, when Ye Yunfei had just revealed his identity, most people had not taken his side, believing his audacity in storming Tianlan City to be sheer arrogance and suicidal folly.
Who could have imagined that, in mere moments, all the Ancient Demon Race experts in Tianlan City would be slain by Ye Yunfei!
"What should we do?"
The young talents from various sects and clans who had been invited looked at the divinely imposing Ye Yunfei, glancing at each other uncertainly.
Many of these geniuses wanted to step forward and fight Ye Yunfei.
After all, this was a prime opportunity to make a name for themselves. If they could defeat Ye Yunfei in such a setting, they would surely become renowned across the entire Profound Starfield!
However, witnessing Ye Yunfei slay so many Soul Formation Realm experts of the Ancient Demon Race in one go, those who wanted to act all hesitated. They simply had no confidence in defeating Ye Yunfei!
"We should just leave.
They say this Ye Yunfei is cruel and bloodthirsty. If he gets carried away killing, he might target us as well, not just the Ancient Demon Race!"
Soon, the crowds who had come to attend the ceremony in the square began to quietly slip away, not daring to stay any longer.
Later on, even the well-known young geniuses of the Profound Starfield started to depart.
Among them were a few young talents who believed their combat prowess was no weaker than Ye Yunfei's. However, in this situation, risking their lives for the Ancient Demon Race's sake against Ye Yunfei was utterly unnecessary.
Finally, the square was almost completely emptied.
Thus concluded the originally grand and spectacular Emergence Ceremony for the Fourth Prince of the Ancient Demon Race!
"Yan'er, we should leave too."
In the end, Duanmu Xue sighed and said to Yan'er.
The events unfolding before her left her a bit speechless.
Ye Yunfei's strength had astounded her immensely.
She truly couldn't understand it. The spiritual power fluctuations emanating from Ye Yunfei's body clearly indicated only Early Primordial Soul Realm. Yet, the combat skills he displayed were simply world-shaking, allowing him to effortlessly slay one Soul Formation Realm expert after another!
Moreover, his decisiveness in battle and utter lack of mercy made one shudder with fear.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei stood suspended in mid-air, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze slowly sweeping over the Ancient Demon Race members being hunted. He appeared cold and utterly unfeeling.
"Sister Xue, rest assured, I think Ye Yunfei won't attack us," Yan'er said.
"Even if he won't attack us, we shouldn't associate with him too closely.
Next, the higher-ups of the Ancient Demon Race will certainly be enraged and launch a frenzied retaliation against Ye Yunfei.
Under such circumstances, we must know how to keep our distance.
Otherwise, the Ancient Demon Race might harbor a grudge against our Duanmu Clan," Duanmu Xue explained.
"I understand, Sister Xue," Yan'er nodded.
Though she was mischievous and playful by nature, she was not unreasonable. She knew Sister Xue's words made sense.
"Yan'er, these pill bottles are for you. They'll be useful for your cultivation."
At that very moment, Ye Yunfei's voice suddenly sounded within Yan'er's soul sea.
Whoosh, whoosh…
Three jade vials shot over, hovering before Yan'er.
"For me?" Yan'er couldn't help but be taken aback, immediately looking towards Ye Yunfei, who stood high in the sky.
Ye Yunfei's gaze met hers, and he offered a faint smile.
"What kind of pills are these…"
Overcome by curiosity, Yan'er opened the three jade vials.
"Fourth Grade Dao Pills!"
Then, she froze on the spot, her little face filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible!"
Duanmu Xue leaned over to look and was also utterly stunned into silence.
For her and Yan'er, Fourth Grade Dao Pills were treasures worth a fortune!
For core disciples of the Duanmu Clan, obtaining a single Fourth Grade Dao Pill was extremely difficult unless awarded by the clan's higher-ups.
But now, Ye Yunfei had given her thirty Fourth Grade Dao Pills in three bottles at once. This gift was far too extravagant!
Strictly speaking, Yan'er had just met Ye Yunfei; they were practically strangers!
"Ye Yunfei, I can't accept these. The Dao Pills are too valuable!" Yan'er said.
"Heh, Yan'er, please keep them.
These Dao Pills are nothing much to me.
I have plenty more," Ye Yunfei chuckled.
"You have plenty?
Are you that wealthy?" Yan'er blinked.
"Indeed.
I am indeed very wealthy," Ye Yunfei replied with a laugh.
"Then… alright," Yan'er hesitated for a moment before accepting the three jade vials.
"Young Master Ye, thank you for bestowing such a generous gift upon Yan'er!" Duanmu Xue cupped her fists from afar, her expression complex.
Ye Yunfei had given Yan'er so many Fourth Grade Dao Pills but hadn't offered her a single one. It was clear she held no significance in Ye Yunfei's eyes.
"Alright, you should leave quickly.
Don't get too deeply involved with me," Ye Yunfei waved dismissively at Duanmu Xue, speaking blandly.
"Farewell!" Duanmu Xue's heart tightened upon hearing this. That was precisely what she feared.
Thus, Duanmu Xue hurriedly led her clansmen away.
By then, the square was almost deserted.
Hu Miao, Huang Shang, Elder Feng, Tang Biao, and Tang Wu had also long left the square, hunting down Ancient Demon Race forces throughout Tianlan City.
The Ancient Demon Race troops garrisoned in Tianlan City were no match for them and scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives.
Half an hour later.
Not a single living Ancient Demon Race member remained within Tianlan City.
Only corpses littered the ground.
Half of the Ancient Demon Race forces in Tianlan City had been slaughtered, the other half had escaped.
"Everyone, let's begin. Collect all the valuables from Tianlan City," Ye Yunfei declared clearly.
"Understood."
Hu Miao, Huang Shang, Elder Feng, Tang Biao, and Tang Wu all nodded.
Moments later.
All the wealth of Tianlan City had been completely looted!
Including the spatial rings of all the slain Ancient Demon Race experts, everything was gathered up.
"Let's go.
To the next city."
Ye Yunfei said.
Then, a flying ship soared into the sky, disappearing beyond the horizon in an instant.
