Hearing those shrill shouts, a flicker of cold light flashed in Ye Yunfei’s eyes.
Some distance away, a large group of Ancient Demon Race members was blocking the path of ten Heavenly Dao Academy students.
"So that's where they were," Ye Yunfei thought inwardly upon seeing those students.
This time, a total of fifty members from the Heavenly Dao Academy had entered the Divine Fall Land. Including Du Fan, Ye Yunfei had already found and gathered twenty-eight around him.
Another four had been killed.
The remaining seventeen students had not been seen all this time. Who would have thought he would encounter ten of them now?
As for the other seven... it was likely they were no longer among the living.
"Hmph!" sneered a young Ancient Demon Race member, standing nine meters tall and holding a giant iron hammer. "I've been searching for you Heavenly Dao Academy trash throughout the Divine Fall Land. I never expected it would take me this long to finally find you! All of you from the Heavenly Dao Academy deserve to die!"
This young Ancient Demon was at the early Soul Formation Realm!
"You Heavenly Dao Academy scum listen well! This is the Second Crown Prince of our Ancient Demon Race! Consider it an honor to die by the Second Prince's hand today!"
"Second Crown Prince, let's just attack directly. I want to drain these Heavenly Dao Academy wretches dry of their blood!"
"Also, remember to strip them of every last treasure on their bodies. They've toiled hard for over ten days—everything they’ve gained belongs to us now!"
...
The other Ancient Demons roared with maniacal laughter.
"Everyone, stay close and fight back with everything we've got!" whispered the ten students to each other for encouragement, their faces pale. They huddled together.
The strongest among these students was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm. They stood no chance against that Second Crown Prince!
"Attack!" The Second Crown Prince let out a ferocious laugh and bellowed.
Boom...
He raised the massive hammer in his hand, unleashing a torrent of demonic power and pressure as he swung it towards one of the students.
Swish!
A figure abruptly appeared before that student.
Clang, clang...
Five surging rivers of sword light appeared, intertwining as they shot towards the Second Crown Prince.
Clang, clang...
Startled and furious, the Second Prince swung his great hammer with all his might, desperately parrying the five sword lights. He was forced back step by step.
"Ye Yunfei! It's you!" The Second Prince retreated dozens of steps before finally getting a clear look at the person who had suddenly appeared before him—it was Ye Yunfei.
"It's Ye Yunfei!" The other Ancient Demons were also shocked.
After all, Ye Yunfei had once stormed into the Demon Realm, forcing the upper echelons of the Ancient Demon Race to hide. Every member of the Ancient Demon Race held a deep-seated fear of him.
"Senior Brother Ye!" Upon seeing Ye Yunfei, the ten students were both shocked and overjoyed.
"Don't worry. It's fine now," Ye Yunfei nodded to the ten students.
"Now, go over and kill all these Ancient Demon scum. Strip every last item from their bodies," Ye Yunfei continued.
"What?!" The ten students were stunned.
"Go. With me here, nothing will happen," Ye Yunfei said.
"Alright!" Gritting their teeth, the ten students charged towards the Ancient Demons.
"Seeking death!" Enraged, the Second Crown Prince abruptly raised his massive hammer and brought it crashing down towards one of the students.
Swish!
Ye Yunfei willed it, unleashing the Heavenly Soul Sword.
"Ah!" The Second Crown Prince let out a miserable scream, feeling as if his head was about to explode, the pain unbearable.
The Heavenly Soul Sword Ye Yunfei could now wield was effective even against cultivators at the late-stage Soul Formation Realm, let alone one at the early stage.
Swish, swish...
Next, Ye Yunfei continuously unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword. In an instant, all the Ancient Demons began howling in agony.
Struck by the Heavenly Soul Sword, these Ancient Demons lost all ability to fight back.
Under a flurry of attacks from the ten students, they were almost completely slaughtered in moments.
Only the Second Crown Prince remained.
The ten students swarmed him, launching a concerted assault.
The Second Prince wanted to retaliate, but Ye Yunfei unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword, hitting his Soul Body several times in a row. He screamed repeatedly, forced to retreat again and again.
"Ye Yunfei! If you dare kill me, our Ancient Demon Race will never let you go!" the Second Crown Prince roared in terror.
"The Ancient Demon Race will soon be exterminated," Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
"It's Ye Yunfei! He's over there!" At that moment, an angry voice suddenly rang out.
"Ye Yunfei! You bastard! You got me crippled by that golden bull! It's either your death or mine!" Then came another furious roar.
In the distance, a wave of martial artists was rapidly approaching—disciples from major forces like Wu Kun, the Princess of Jiuli, and others.
Among them was one person dripping with blood, missing an arm and a leg! Nearly half his body was gone!
This person was precisely the gold-armored warrior from the Tongtian Sect in the Tianma Starfield. He had been attacked by the golden bull earlier. Relying on that Innate Treasure, he barely escaped with his life, but his arm and leg were shattered in the process.
He blamed Ye Yunfei for this.
Because it was Ye Yunfei who led that golden bull to attack their group.
"Ye Yunfei! You caused the deaths of so many disciples from our Sun Moon Sect. This is a sea of blood vengeance!" shouted a tall, thin man wearing a long black-and-white robe sternly.
This man was a young genius of the Sun Moon Sect!
"Ye Yunfei, our Flowing Moon Sect disciples initially had no grievances with you. However, many of our disciples have now died because of you. Unless you hand over the Demigod herb on your person, our Flowing Moon Sect will definitely seek revenge for this grudge!" a white-robed youth said coldly.
"Ye Yunfei, our Jiuli Royal Dynasty also has many young geniuses who died because of you!" The beautiful eyes of the Princess of Jiuli also fixed on Ye Yunfei as she spoke through gritted teeth.
"Ye Yunfei, you are responsible for the deaths of so many from our Martial Tribe. You are steeped in blood debts—prepare to repay them!" Wu Kun declared with murderous intent.
...
One expert after another spoke up, all glaring furiously at Ye Yunfei.
The golden bull Ye Yunfei had provoked had caused heavy losses for the disciples of these major forces, with half dead or injured!
Now, enemies had met—eyes red with hatred!
Moreover, these disciples from the major forces all believed Ye Yunfei likely possessed a Demigod herb, or a treasure of equivalent value. Otherwise, there was no explanation for why he would have released those thirteen Demigod herbs earlier!
"Lord Wu Kun! Save me! Ye Yunfei wants to kill me!" Seeing Wu Kun, the Second Crown Prince of the Ancient Demon Race immediately cried out for help.
"Kill him," Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
"Die!" The ten students attacked with all their strength.
The Second Prince wanted to resist, but Ye Yunfei unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword several times in a row, all strikes landing on his Soul Body. He lost all ability to fight back.
"Ah!" The ten students swarmed him, directly killing the Second Crown Prince.
Simultaneously, the ten students also collected all the spatial rings from the Ancient Demons and handed them to Ye Yunfei.
"What is everyone waiting for? Attack together! Join forces and kill Ye Yunfei!" bellowed the red-armored warrior from the Tongtian Sect. His hatred for Ye Yunfei had reached the extreme.
Just at that moment.
"Oh no! That fire-breathing monkey seems to be chasing us! Run! It can kill even a late-stage Soul Formation Realm expert instantly!" Suddenly, someone nearby screamed in alarm.
Boom! Rumble…
In the distance, on the horizon, a massive sea of fire appeared, dyeing half the sky red.
Standing amidst the billowing, churning flames was a red-furred monkey, its eyes shooting out terrifying beams of light.
"Run!" Seeing the red monkey on the horizon, all the martial artists were so frightened their legs went soft. They fled with all their might.
In truth, the monkey wasn't actually chasing them.
But these martial artists were already terrified—scared birds fleeing at the twang of a bowstring. Who would dare stay?
"Let's leave the Divine Fall Land first! We'll settle the score with Ye Yunfei after we get out!" the Princess of Jiuli said after a moment of thought. Then she led the disciples of the Jiuli Royal Dynasty away swiftly.
"Hmph!" Wu Kun shot a venomous glare at Ye Yunfei, then also turned and left rapidly.
"Ye Yunfei, just you wait! This grudge will be repaid!" the red-armored warrior from the Tongtian Sect declared through gritted teeth before turning to leave as well.
In a short time, the disciples from all these major forces scattered.
Ye Yunfei swept his sleeve, enveloping the ten students, and also left quickly.
"Look! We found the exit! It's over there!" Not long after, near the border of the Divine Fall Land, the crowd discovered a spatial portal suspended in mid-air.
"Out we go!" Martial artists rushed towards that portal one after another.
This expedition into the Divine Fall Land had truly come to an end!
