"Master, there are six Star Bridge Realm experts hidden here. They are using an Illusion Formation to conceal themselves."
Hu Miao sent a sound transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"I see them," Ye Yunfei nodded.
How could a mere Illusion Formation deceive Ye Yunfei?
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the next moment, six black-robed figures materialized not far away simultaneously. They were indeed six Star Bridge Realm experts!
These six Star Bridge Realm experts were shrouded in black robes, and their facial expressions were somewhat stiff, clearly wearing masks or having used some secret technique to conceal their true faces.
"Where is my father?" Ye Yunfei demanded, his eyes fixed on the six black-robed figures.
"Hehe… Ye Yunfei, never mind your father for now. You should be thinking about how you'll manage to leave here alive," a black-robed figure sneered.
"Is my father really in your hands or not?" Ye Yunfei's face darkened.
"Enough chatter, Ye Yunfei! Hand over the Demigod herbs immediately! We've heard you obtained not just one, but many Demigod herbs in the Divine Fall Land. Hand them all over! Also, all the various techniques and martial arts on you, surrender them all! If you want to live, obediently do as we say. Otherwise, this place today will become your burial ground!" A black-robed figure shouted fiercely, taking a step forward.
Boom! Rumble…
In the surrounding starry space, formations appeared one after another. Vast formation energy roiled and seethed. Over two hundred formations in total tightly sealed this patch of starry space airtight.
Moreover, every single formation was highly sophisticated! It was clear these six Star Bridge Realm experts had invested heavily to deal with Ye Yunfei. Just deploying these over two hundred sophisticated formations in space would require a massive amount of precious formation materials!
"Haha… Ye Yunfei, within this area of space, you cannot traverse the void any longer! Better surrender peacefully!" that black-robed man laughed loudly.
"It seems my father isn't in your hands after all. You merely lured me here," Ye Yunfei stated coldly, his gaze fixed on the six black-robed men, enunciating each word.
"Does it still matter now whether it was a lure or not?" a black-robed man sneered.
"Everyone, this Ye Yunfei kid is a bit peculiar. We must not underestimate him. Let's combine our strength to capture him first, then interrogate him at our leisure!" another black-robed man said solemnly.
"Agreed!" The other five black-robed figures all closed in on Ye Yunfei simultaneously.
"Just the lot of you won't be enough to take me. You deceived me using my father. There will be a price to pay for that." Ye Yunfei's tone was icy.
Among the six black-robed men before him, two were at the middle stage of the Star Bridge Realm, and three were at the initial stage.
"Haha… Ye Yunfei, surely you don't think the six of us, plus all these formations, can't handle you, do you? Fine, let me see just how capable you really are!" A black-robed figure burst into wild laughter.
Boom!
He strode towards Ye Yunfei, one hand stretching out, instantly transforming into a palm several acres wide. It reached forward like lightning, blotting out a patch of starry space as it pressed towards Ye Yunfei.
Boom! Boom!
The other five Star Bridge Realm experts were unwilling to fall behind. They extended their hands one after another, reaching out to seize Ye Yunfei.
Everyone understood that in this situation, whoever captured Ye Yunfei first would get to search his body first and obtain the treasures on him. Naturally, no one wanted to lag behind.
Six Star Bridge Realm experts attacking simultaneously was terrifying, releasing a torrential surge of energy pressure.
Ye Yunfei was prepared. He instantly activated the Heavenly Shadow Robe and took a step back, putting distance between himself and the six Star Bridge Realm experts. While traversing space within this area was impossible, normal dodging and maneuvering weren't restricted.
"Ye Yunfei, don't waste time! You can't escape!" a black-robed figure dashed towards Ye Yunfei like lightning, shouting fiercely.
"Who said I was trying to escape?" Ye Yunfei's tone was calm.
As his words fell.
Ye Yunfei retrieved three jade bottles, opened their lids, and sucked in a breath. Ten pills flew out from each bottle, rushing into his mouth.
Thirty Blood-Melting Vitality Pills!
In the past, Ye Yunfei had refined Berserk Pills, a type of temporary potential-exploiting pill. Blood-Melting Vitality Pills were also a type of temporary potential-exploiting pill, but their medicinal potency was countless times stronger than Berserk Pills!
With thirty Blood-Melting Vitality Pills entering his stomach, a horrifying wave of medicinal power erupted like torrents wildly rampaging through Ye Yunfei's body.
Then.
Puff! Puff! Puff…
From every pore on Ye Yunfei's body, streams of blood-red Origin Essence Blood continuously spurted out, enveloping his physique.
Origin Essence Blood Shattering Technique!
A secret art of the Blood Clan!
This secret technique was one of Ye Yunfei's trump cards, allowing him to temporarily exploit his potential to the maximum.
Roar! Roar…
Fearsome beast roars emanated from within Ye Yunfei's body.
Under the combined effect of the thirty Blood-Melting Vitality Pills and the Origin Essence Blood Shattering Technique, Ye Yunfei's aura at this moment had reached an utterly terrifying level.
"What secret art is this?" The black-robed figure who had rushed in front of Ye Yunfei exclaimed in alarm.
"Blood Beast Devouring the Heavens!" Ye Yunfei's hoarse voice rang out.
This was the first stance of the Seven-Stance Inheritance Secret Art of the Blood Clan!
Roar!
A blood-colored ferocious beast, as large as several acres and resembling both a snake and a dragon, materialized. Exuding a bloodthirsty aura, it pounced towards that black-robed man.
"Courting death!" the black-robed man bellowed in fury.
Boom! Boom…
The blood beast and the black-robed man engaged in fierce combat, their battle making the starry space tremble.
This black-robed man possessed strength at the initial stage of the Star Bridge Realm. Ye Yunfei's current power was sufficient to contend against an initial-stage Star Bridge Realm expert!
Whoosh! Whoosh…
Amidst the billowing blood mist, figures began to appear continuously. Ye Yunfei's one hundred and forty-five Imperial Realm slaves had emerged from the Phantom Tower!
All one hundred and forty-five Imperial Realm slaves had consumed Blood-Melting Vitality Pills, their strength greatly enhanced. Forming the Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Battle Formation, a blood-colored dragon materialized and lunged towards that black-robed man.
The blood-colored dragon forced the black-robed man's expression to change drastically as he retreated repeatedly.
Roar…
Seizing the opportunity, the blood beast opened its maw and bit down, instantly clamping onto the black-robed man's arm.
"A mere creature conjured by a technique, what can it do to me!" the black-robed man roared.
However, in the next instant, his expression changed completely.
He discovered the blood in his entire body was beginning to rage, continuously streaming into the blood beast's mouth!
Swoosh!
At the same time, Ye Yunfei, like a phantom, had already closed the distance and was standing right behind this black-robed man.
"You little brat, you're asking for death!" Under Ye Yunfei's various fierce assaults, the black-robed man was both shocked and enraged. He threw a punch backward.
Bang!
Ye Yunfei neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the black-robed man's fist to strike his chest.
Bang!
Ye Yunfei's own punch arrived later but landed first, smashing into the back of the black-robed man's skull.
This was a life-risking move.
The black-robed man, assuming Ye Yunfei would definitely dodge, had not guarded against Ye Yunfei's fist. How could he have imagined Ye Yunfei wouldn't evade?
Ye Yunfei's chest directly exploded, a bloody hole appearing clear through. The organs inside were shattered.
Bang!
The black-robed man's skull was directly smashed apart by Ye Yunfei's fist.
Although his cultivation power was strong, the quality of his physical body was far inferior to Ye Yunfei's.
"Dammit!" The other five black-robed figures watched, their eyelids twitching.
They had been merely a step slower, and a Star Bridge Realm initial-stage expert had just perished like that!
"The Bloodline Essence of one initial-stage Star Bridge Realm is barely enough for me to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Body Art," Ye Yunfei thought to himself. He grabbed the corpse of this black-robed man, activated the Heavenly Shadow Robe, and took a step back, putting distance between himself and the other five.
While retreating, Ye Yunfei waved his sleeve, collecting all the Imperial Realm slaves back into the Phantom Tower.
Then, Ye Yunfei performed a secret technique of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Body Art to extract the black-robed man's Bloodline Essence.
Generally speaking, the grade of a living being's Bloodline Essence is first determined by its race, and then by the being's cultivation level. These Star Bridge Realm experts before him, though human, had a high spiritual cultivation level, so their Bloodline Essence was worth collecting.
"I said earlier that deceiving me using my father would come at a cost," Ye Yunfei's cold gaze swept over the five black-robed men as he spoke frigidly.
"Everyone, we absolutely must not underestimate this lad. Let's attack together!" a black-robed man said slowly.
At this moment, the five black-robed men's gazes towards Ye Yunfei were filled with solemn gravity, not a trace of their earlier contempt remaining. Ye Yunfei's killing of that initial-stage Star Bridge Realm expert had impacted them too greatly!
Six Star Bridge Realm experts surrounding a late-stage Divine Idol Realm youngster, and one of them was killed in return? If such a thing spread, it would surely shake the entire cosmic starry heavens!
