The sounds of blood spurting rang out as the two flying daggers pierced through the True Qi defenses of the Flame Gate Honored Offerer and embedded themselves into his shoulder blades, eliciting a scream of agony.
Xiao Yifeng swung the Minghong Blade in a fierce strike at his opponent. The sharp, vicious blade light shot out, instantly landing on the body of the other.
The Honored Offerer from the Flame Gate, at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, was sent flying and crashed to the ground, spewing fresh blood. A slash wound that spanned his entire torso was visible, with his internal organs faintly discernible within.
Seeing the Flame Gate’s only Honored Offerer grievously wounded as well, Yue Pengfei’s expression changed as he rushed over, only to find himself blocked by Tian Tu, who stood like an iron tower, entirely eclipsing the sky.
Xiao Yifeng walked over to the Honored Offerer, who, having sustained heavy injuries, found it difficult to move. His True Qi was in chaos, writhing around his body and leaving him extremely pale.
Approaching, Xiao Yifeng sneered, "Weren’t you asking me to surrender without a fight? I’m right here now. You can come and kill me."
Xiao Yifeng looked at the Honored Offerer with a face full of mocking amusement.
The Honored Offerer’s eyes widened with intense fear.
Xiao Yifeng once again deployed Soul Devouring. His eyes quickly filled with a blood-red hue as two crimson spirals formed, generating a terrifying devouring power that forcefully absorbed the Qi Condensation Realm peak-level Honored Offerer’s soul along with all his Essence Blood.
This time, Xiao Yifeng suffered no backlash. Nowadays, devouring the souls and Essence Blood of average peak Qi Condensation Realm strong ones posed no problem for him.
As the Soul Body and Essence Blood were devoured, Xiao Yifeng felt his Soul Power strengthen further, his spirit invigorated, and the power of his eyes became even more terrifying.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xiao Yifeng looked at the Flame Gate members engaged in a fierce battle with the Imperial Guards. His eyes narrowed, and he shot out four Flying Daggers.
In an instant, one Flame Gate member after another had their throats slit by the flying daggers, falling to the ground with thuds. In this short period, a dozen or so Flame Gate members were wiped out by him.
Another heavy sound echoed as Yue Pengfei was once again sent reeling back, his face pale and corner of his mouth dripping with fresh blood, his eyes looking at Tian Tu as if he were a monster.
Tian Tu was indeed a monster. Not only was his body terrifyingly robust, but also his power was extremely fearsome. Added to that, his massive frame exuded a crushing presence, making him appear as nothing less than a humanoid abomination. Under his attacks, Yue Pengfei had also suffered serious injuries.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yifeng glanced at Yue Pengfei and then said to Tian Tu, "Keep an eye on him!"
Immediately after, Xiao Yifeng charged deeper in, arriving at the place where Ye Yaxin and the others were detained.
Seeing Xiao Yifeng appear, Ye Yashi cheered with joy, rushing over and throwing her arms around him.
"I knew brother-in-law would definitely come to save us. You are our guardian deity," Ye Yashi said excitedly.
Xiao Yifeng pulled himself away from Ye Yashi and turned his gaze to Ye Yaxin, "Sorry for dragging you into this mess again!"
"It’s okay, I’m your fiancée. I’m willing to bear all this for you!" Ye Yaxin said amiably, showing a significant change from before, hardly recognizable as the same person.
"Elder Ye, I am sorry to see you have suffered!"
Xiao Yifeng’s gaze then moved to Elder Ye Tianxiong as he spoke.
Ye Tianxiong shook his head, sighing, "What a pity, all the servants and guards of the Ye Family have been sacrificed."
"Elder Ye, rest assured, for every person the Ye Family has lost, I will make Flame Gate pay tenfold, a hundredfold!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke with an icy tone, his eyes flickering with a cold glint.
"I’ll take you out now. It’s a bit bloody and cruel outside, bear with it."
After saying this, Xiao Yifeng led the two ladies and Elder Ye straight out.
When Ye Yaxin, her sister, and Ye Tianxiong saw the state of the manor, their faces changed drastically, and their eyes shimmered with shock.
Ye Yashi looked at the corpses and the bloody scene, her face turned pale, and she quickly closed her eyes.
"If you two are scared, just close your eyes. I’ll get you out of here,"
Xiao Yifeng said to the two women, then took the three of them outside before turning to Tian Tu and commanding, "Tian Tu, protect these three and get them out of here first."
"And what about you, Young Master?"
Tian Tu looked at Xiao Yifeng and couldn’t help but ask.
"Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. Make sure they are safe,"
Xiao Yifeng said with a heavy voice.
Tian Tu nodded and took the two sisters, Ye Yaxin, and Old Master Ye away from the place.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yifeng’s gaze swept towards Yue Pengfei, a cold smile playing on his lips, his eyes glittering with a deadly chill.
At that moment, Yue Pengfei, looking at Xiao Yifeng, had an extremely ugly expression on his face, his brows deeply furrowed, his demeanor filled with solemnity.
"Who would have thought that the Sect Leader of the mighty Flame Gate, the Dragon Head of the Northern Number One Great Power, would end up . Today marks the end of Flame Gate. From tomorrow on, there will be no more ’Flame Gate’ in China!"
Xiao Yifeng’s voice was filled with endless killing intent as he glared at Yue Pengfei, his murderous aura shocking all around.
Yue Pengfei’s body trembled, his face turned dark, and he stared back at Xiao Yifeng with a deathly gaze.
"Kid, I have to admit you’re quite arrogant and strong, and you have quite a powerful team behind you!"
Yue Pengfei glanced around at the Imperial Guards who were slaughtering Flame Gate members like deadly killers, then looked at Xiao Yifeng and said.
"But you may not know the power behind me. If Flame Gate falls today, you won’t be far from death either!"
Yue Pengfei snorted coldly.
"Are you talking about the so-called Fiery Flame Sect?"
Xiao Yifeng asked nonchalantly.
Yue Pengfei’s eyes narrowed.
"Of course. But what of the Fiery Flame Sect? It still won’t change the fact that Flame Gate will fall today, that you’re all destined to die by my hand!"
Xiao Yifeng stated each word sharply, every syllable filled with ruthless killing intent.
"Is that so? You’re quite bold, young man!"
A light, floating voice sounded from behind Xiao Yifeng. There appeared an old man dressed in a gray robe, with half-black, half-white hair, face full of wrinkles, and an ancient look, his deep and calm gaze bearing a transcendent aura.
Shi Ruqian, supported by Song Yue, saw the old man and hurriedly called out. He was an Executive Elder from the Fiery Flame Sect sent by her brother.
The old man, seeing Shi Ruqian’s pale face, weak breath, and the blood on her lips, rushed over immediately.
