Ye Feng Appears!

*Boom!* The terrifying pressure forced every cultivator across Yuntian City to stoop, while those below the Soul Formation Realm were slammed violently to the ground. Dense, suffocating killing intent surged straight into the clouds, nearly condensing into physical form! The old man behind the young woman let out a cold snort, a sharp glint abruptly flashing in his turbid eyes. A formidable aura surged forth instantly, enveloping the surrounding hundred zhang of space. He Yuanting's pressure was completely blocked outside, and the young woman slowly came to a halt. Li Guanqi snapped his head up toward the Taixuan Sword Sect, his lips quivering slightly. He knew that there was likely only one reason for He Yuanting to be so enraged... The white-browed elder narrowed his eyes, his brow furrowing slightly. Turning his gaze toward the Taixuan Sword Sect, he murmured, "What madness has seized He Yuanting? It was one thing not to come greet us, but what is he doing now?" Hearing this, the young woman frowned, recalling her father's instructions before their departure. Turning back to the elder, she asked softly, "He is that He Yuning's father?" The elder nodded slightly. Just then, a burst of golden light erupted, abruptly tearing through the Taixuan Sword Sect's protective barrier! A figure flew at blinding speed toward Yuntian City. Suddenly! A powerful aura roared to life from within the crowd! A man clad in a black robe held a longsword, forcefully resisting the oppressive might crashing down from the heavens as he burst into action! This surging pressure was at the early Void Refining Realm, yet its razor-sharp edge was extraordinarily fierce. Terrifying sword intent rose from the ground, soaring straight into the clouds! This terrifying force instantly punched a hole dozens of zhang wide clean through the cloud layer. The sheer momentum made even the white-browed elder behind the young woman let out a soft murmur of surprise. Right after, a golden sword light flared, cleaving violently into the barrier at the center of the square! *Clank-clank-clank!* The chains rattled, and Li Guanqi jerked his head up the moment he sensed this aura! His eyes were filled with disbelief! His voice trembling, he rasped in a murmur, "Old Ye..." *Boom! Crash!* The barrier shattered. First Elder Liu Dongshi of the Taixuan Sword Sect changed expression and shouted harshly: "Hmph! He actually has an accomplice!" "Black Armor Guard! Capture him! Execute them together shortly and hang their heads for all to see!" Inside the broken barrier, Liu Chuan's eyes narrowed. Drawing a longsword behind his back, he blurred and appeared before Ye Feng in an instant! Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Ye Feng, who had been missing for several years. He had already been in Zhongzhou for some time and had happened to hear this news. Without a second thought, he had rushed to Yuntian City. *Boom!* With a single strike, Ye Feng forced Liu Chuan back, then swept his blade around in a wide arc. The terrifying sword light instantly grievously wounded a swath of Black Armor Guards. Yet incoming sword lights still tore his black robe to shreds, revealing his handsome face. "Big Brother, wait for me! I'm here to save you!" Several hideous scars now marked Ye Feng's face, however, and his long golden hair was tied back behind his head. Unseen for years, the youthful innocence Ye Feng once had was long gone, replaced by maturity and composure. His eyes resolute, golden light exploded beneath Ye Feng's feet as he moved like lightning, arriving beside Li Guanqi in the blink of an eye! He gripped his longsword tightly with both hands and stamped hard against the empty air, coiling his body like a savage beast. The space beneath his feet shattered as he pounced like a man-devouring monster. *Roar!* The roar of a tiger reverberated in all directions; the phantom of a golden tiger seemed to manifest around Ye Feng, roaring toward the heavens. Wherever he passed, the terrifying power tore fissure after fissure into the sky behind him! The young woman's eyes narrowed slightly. She had not expected that a mere Zhongzhou in the Taiqing Domain could produce such a monstrously talented figure! After all, the golden-haired youth before her had not even reached twenty years of age! "Tiger's Roar: Mountain Cleaver!" A fierce cry rang through the sky, so swift that not even Liu Chuan, who was closest, could intercept him in time. Sparks burst from the friction between blade and air as the terrifying sword light struck the chains behind Li Guanqi! Yet at that very moment, the chains piercing Li Guanqi's body suddenly flared with mysterious golden patterns! *Clang!* A deafening crash rang out. The charging Ye Feng was thrown back in an instant, hurled backward at an even more terrifying speed! Ye Feng's brow was knit with gravity; a sweet taste rose in his throat, but he forcefully swallowed the blood down. Li Guanqi turned pale. The shaking chains sent violent shockwaves through his blood and qi, driving the stone spikes deeper into his flesh. Forcing himself to stay conscious, Li Guanqi used every ounce of strength in his body to roar at Ye Feng: "Run! Leave me!" Sword light flashed incessantly in Ye Feng's hand, weaving an impenetrable defense that parried all the attacks from the surrounding Black Armor Guards. Twisting his sword, he unleashed several rapid slashes, cutting down all the Black Armor Guards around him! Blood sprayed, severed limbs flying through the air. Covered in blood, Ye Feng planted himself between the Black Armor Guards and Li Guanqi. Looking at the numerous experts surrounding him, his face showed not the slightest trace of fear. Ye Feng turned his head toward Li Guanqi and suddenly broke into a grin. Seeing this brought tears to Li Guanqi's eyes; that foolish grin was identical to the one he had always worn. Ye Feng turned back, leaving Li Guanqi only with the sight of his resolute back. Blue veins bulged across Ye Feng's right arm, and as the flesh writhed, the entire arm turned pitch-black. Chilling ghostly qi drifted out, and his right eye instantly turned blood-red! With the transformation of his arm, his entire aura changed drastically! An eerie, sinister power welled up, causing Ye Feng's aura to surge dramatically. *Boom!* The void within fifty zhang of Ye Feng began to collapse and fracture, unable to bear his immense pressure! A wisp of black mist crept onto the blade, and his terrifying sword intent climbed once more! At this moment, the old man behind the young woman stepped forward sharply, extending a hand to shield her. His eyes sharp as he looked at Ye Feng, he said in a deep voice, "He has been to the forbidden ground of the Taiqing Domain... the Purgatory Abyss!" "To walk out of the Purgatory Abyss... alive..." "Just what kind of conviction did he hold when he went in?!" "This youth... has limitless potential!" Even the young woman could not help crying out in shock, "What? The Purgatory Abyss?!" "Elder Li, you mean he walked out of the Purgatory Abyss?" By now, He Yuanting was less than ten thousand zhang from Yuntian City, capable of arriving in mere breaths. First Elder Liu Dongshi could no longer keep his composure. He knew that Liu Chuan and the Black Armor Guards alone could never handle this golden-haired youth. Letting out a cold snort, light flashed beneath his feet as he drew his sword and charged! A terrifying aura erupted instantly. The pressure of the peak mid Void Refining Realm and Ye Feng's pressure each claimed half the sky. Almost simultaneously, both unleashed their origin energy domains. But right then, the corners of Ye Feng's mouth curled up slightly, and the sword in his hand let out a clear, ringing cry. His spiritual terrace's Sword Ruins hummed, and he murmured softly: "Soul Release: Ghost Slash!" "Ghost Slash: Shura World Extinction!" *Boom!* Liu Dongshi's pupils contracted to pinpricks. Without hesitation, he poured his strongest primal energy into his sword momentum. "Great Xuan Bright Sword!" *Boom!* A colossal explosion resounded, instantly demolishing every building within a thousand zhang! A crisp cracking sound rang out as two deep gashes were severed into the chains pinning Li Guanqi's shoulders. The golden patterns on the chains suddenly dimmed, and Li Guanqi felt the power suppressing his body instantly lighten! The pitch-black sword coffin abruptly materialized! And He Yuanting's figure had already appeared within Li Guanqi's line of sight!
