Chapter 141: Bringing the Fight to Their Doorstep

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Bringing the Fight to Their Doorstep

Onlookers stared, their eyes wide. They simply couldn’t believe what they were seeing!

What kind of power and speed was that?!

In a single move!

He had instantly killed an expert at the Mid-Star Stage!

And!

It was an instant kill!

It seemed the rumors about Ye Yunyi weren’t true after all!

’Just what was his true power?!’

’He has to be at the Late-Star Stage at the very least!’

’Don’t tell me he’s already reached the Half-Step King Level or even King Level?!’

Th-this was...

Terrifying!

The two other Patriarchs snapped back to reality. "You!"

The next moment!

Ye Yunyi turned to face them, his eyes looking at them as if they were already dead.

He then rushed toward them, shaping one hand into a spear and thrusting it forward!

"This—!"

The Patriarch scrambled to block, but in that fleeting moment, he could have sworn he saw a metallic sheen blooming on Ye Yunyi’s hand.

PFFT!

The instant Ye Yunyi’s hand touched the Patriarch, it passed through him like a knife through tofu!

A clean puncture!

In through his chest and out through his back!

Ye Yunyi then turned to the last man and unleashed a single chop with his hand.

Before the man could even block, his head was sent flying into the air!

A spray of blood blossomed in the air!

In a matter of moments!

Three experts at the Mid-Star Stage had been slain!

Everyone present was completely stunned!

In the distance...

The Eighth King General arrived.

She surveyed the scene.

The corner of her mouth twitched.

She looked at Ye Yunyi, her face a mask of utter disbelief.

’This guy!’

’Just how strong is he now?!’

Ye Yunyi surveyed the situation, his eyes dark and grim.

He then put his fingers to his lips and let out a sharp whistle.

The next moment!

In the distance!

A sonic boom ripped through the air!

Then, everyone saw a colossal black bird take to the sky!

Ye Yunyi grabbed the youth who had nearly pissed his pants in fear, then leaped from the ground, soaring straight up!

He landed squarely on the black bird’s back!

Then, they flew off into the distance.

"Hey!"

The Eighth King General called out.

She then turned to the crowd.

Seeing it was Shangguan Yulan, everyone bowed their heads. "Eighth King General!"

"Eighth King General, you’ve returned!"

Shangguan Yulan had no time for the Patriarchs’ greetings. "Where is Ye Yunyi going?"

"We don’t know either."

"But I have a feeling... Lord Ye, could he be heading straight for the Fire Barrier? For the Medicine Alliance?"

At these words, a jolt went through everyone’s hearts.

’That must be it!’

After all, they had all heard something of Ye Yunyi’s temperament.

He didn’t tolerate even the slightest offense.

’He’s definitely going straight for them!’

As they thought of this, their lips twitched. There he went again, charging in all by himself.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Yulan was examining the grisly state of the three Patriarchs.

The more she looked, the more shocked she became.

’That power, that speed!’

’He must have already reached King Level!’

’She had still underestimated him!’

’And on top of that, Ye Yunyi was an experienced Alchemist!’

’He was an absolute treasure trove!’

After her inspection, Shangguan Yulan concluded, "From this day forward, the Medicine Alliance will likely cease to exist."

Her single statement plunged everyone into silence.

’Even the Eighth King General herself said so!’

「A short while later, inside the Medicine Alliance headquarters at the Fire Barrier.」

Alliance Leader Kong Jian sat in the reception hall, a growing anxiety churning in his heart.

’It really was a bit late!’

’He should have sent his men sooner. After all, the fragrance of that medicine had spread across half the Cyan Ink Barrier!’

’What kind of quality was that?!’

’A medicine like that...’

’You probably couldn’t even trade a King-level Beast’s Crystal Core for it!’

’If his men were too late and someone else consumed the medicine...’

’He’d regret it to death, wouldn’t he?’

The thought made him feel as if ants were crawling all over him.

He could only console himself with the thought that as long as they brought the person back, it would still be a great victory. Once he had someone like that, he could just force them to refine more medicine.

Kong Jian grew excited at the thought.

But in the very next moment...

He heard the sound of something tearing through the air outside!

He immediately walked outside.

He looked up at the blood moon in the sky.

But!

Then!

A massive shadow fell over him!

It blotted out the sky!

Hmm?!

’What is that?!’

Kong Jian looked up at the sky and froze.

’What a huge bird!’

Then!

He saw several figures leap down from it!

THUD!

With a heavy thud, dust and smoke billowed everywhere!

Two figures emerged from the dust cloud.

One of them was a member of his very own Medicine Alliance!

Kong Jian stared at the man, stunned once more.

’What the hell? Didn’t I tell him to take three Patriarchs to the Cyan Ink Barrier and bring that person back?’

’What’s the meaning of this?’

When the youth saw Kong Jian, it was as if he’d seen his savior. "Alliance Leader! Alliance Leader! The three Patriarchs... he killed them all!"

BOOM!

The words hit Kong Jian like a physical blow. His pupils contracted as he struggled to believe what he was hearing.

The next instant!

He knew who he was facing.

’Run!’

’If I don’t run now, when can I?!’

But then, CRACK!

The sound of a bone snapping echoed as he suddenly felt the strength drain from his leg.

He collapsed heavily to the ground.

An instant later, excruciating pain shot through him.

He looked down to see his leg was already broken.

"AHH!"

"AHHH!"

"Stop screaming." Ye Yunyi walked over and stomped his foot onto Kong Jian’s face. "Summon them. I want all the higher-ups of the Medicine Alliance here."

「A short while later.」

Someone knocked on the door of a room in another part of the building.

"What is it?"

A man emerged from the room and saw a panicked-looking person outside. "The Alliance Leader is summoning you to the main hall."

Hmm?

The man understood at once. ’The Alliance Leader brought him back?’

’That was fast!’

The man grew excited. ’Excellent! The Medicine Alliance’s power is about to get another boost.’

’If we get our hands on that recipe, the Medicine Alliance’s status will skyrocket!’

But then he noticed something was off. The man before him was trembling like a leaf.

He was clearly terrified out of his mind.

"What’s wrong with you? Why are you shaking so badly?"

"The Alliance Leader’s been captured! Some kid came and stormed the place!"

What?!

The man was completely dumbfounded.

’Holy shit!’

’Is this guy that tough of a target?!’

Huh?!

’He stormed our headquarters?!’

’Didn’t we send three Mid-Star Stage Patriarchs this time?’

’And they not only failed to capture him, but got wiped out instead?!’

He was no fool.

He immediately tried to slip away and run in the opposite direction.

But!

The next moment!

A black shadow appeared before him, blocking his path.

"Get out of my way!"

The man looked at the black-robed figure before him and attacked at once.

’I’m at the Late-Diamond Stage!’

’How dare this person block my path!’

But his attack was easily blocked. Feeling the immense power radiating from the figure before him, the man’s expression changed drastically.

’An expert!’

’This is bad!’

The threat of death instantly enveloped him.

"Spare me, spare me!"

In an instant, he understood the situation and began to beg frantically for his life.

Then, he was hauled up and dragged toward the main hall.

When the man arrived at the main hall, he discovered he wasn’t the only one who had been dragged there.

There were dozens, perhaps even a hundred, of these black-robed figures!
