At this moment, Ye Feng’s clothes had already completely shattered, and he was only wearing his battle armor.

If it weren’t for the top-grade Holy Artifact armor, Ye Feng would have already died just now.

Ye Feng’s body was riddled with wounds, but he had already grasped the approximate limits of his abilities.

By unleashing his full potential and using the Heaven Slaying Sword, Ye Feng could achieve combat power surpassing Super Five, capable of slaying even mid-stage Asking cultivators with a single strike. Even when faced with late-stage Asking experts, the power of the Heaven Slaying Sword could become slightly more formidable.

Of course, if a late-stage Asking expert faced him cautiously, Ye Feng wouldn’t be able to match their prowess.

In truth, Ye Feng still had another trump card: by burning his life force, he could activate both the Heavenly Mirror and the Heaven Slaying Sword simultaneously.

In that case, Ye Feng might be able to surpass six levels and kill his opponents.

However, Ye Feng knew that even if he activated both the Heavenly Mirror and the Heaven Slaying Sword, he wouldn’t be able to defeat the Daoist Academy’s dean.

"Ye Feng, are you alright?" At this moment, the Second Elder and Guardian Liu Huayuan quickly moved to Ye Feng’s side, positioning themselves protectively in front of him, vigilantly watching the Daoist Academy’s dean.

Subsequently, Liu Huayuan helped Ye Feng up, and Ye Feng embedded the Heaven Slaying Sword into the ground, leaning against it.

Ye Feng coldly stared at the Daoist Academy’s dean, maintaining his composure without a trace of fear.

Guardian Liu Huayuan anxiously said, "Dean, Ye Feng is already seriously injured and has been punished. Please spare him and do not attack him further. If Ye Feng dies, it will surely be a great loss for our Daoist Academy!"

The Second Elder also anxiously pleaded, "Dean, Ye Feng is a Supreme Daoist God, an unparalleled existence in the universe. Given a few more decades, Ye Feng will undoubtedly transcend these heavens and lead us to the universe’s pinnacle, surpassing the Daoist Academy’s most glorious era. Please, Dean, grant Ye Feng a chance; do not kill him!"

"Let go!" The Daoist Academy’s dean sternly ordered, his voice laced with True Essence, causing it to explode and shake the heavens and earth.

Endless sound waves echoed, making the trembling Void shake frantically. Enormous whirlpools appeared upon the Space Barrier, twisting constantly, and the sound waves made the minds of those within the Daoist Academy tremble, ears buzzing with pain, and eyes filled with anguish, unable to withstand the terrifying sound waves.

Yet Ye Feng remained calm, looking toward the Daoist Academy’s dean, while the Second Elder frantically asked, "Dean, can’t you really give Ye Feng another chance? Everything today cannot be entirely blamed on Ye Feng. The deaths of the Grand Elder, the Second Elder, and everyone from the Holy Fire Sect were self-inflicted!"

The Daoist Academy’s dean frowned, his gaze growing murderous: "Even if they were at fault, they didn’t deserve death! Ye Feng is extremely arrogant. He just joined the Daoist Academy and already attracted three formidable adversaries for us: the Wanda Chamber of Commerce, the Holy Fire Sect, and the Blue Moon Sect, each not to be trifled with. The Grand Elder and the Fourth Elder even died at his hands.

This person simply doesn’t respect me. If I don’t kill him today, where is the dean’s dignity? I’ll say it one last time, step aside, or I will kill you both. Today, Ye Feng must die!"

Everyone had already felt the dean’s resolute intent to kill, their eyes filled with helplessness, not expecting the dean to be so determined to kill Ye Feng. The Second Elder bit his teeth and stood at the forefront.

"Guardian Liu Huayuan, quickly take Ye Feng and leave. I’ll hold back the dean for you!" The Second Elder urged anxiously.

At this moment, the dean’s face had turned completely grim: "Second Elder, have you gone mad? Do you know what you’re doing? Do you really think I won’t dare to kill you? Don’t forget, I’m the dean!"

However, the Second Elder’s eyes displayed determination, shouting loudly, "I’ve already said it, I won’t let you kill Ye Feng. Ye Feng is our future; if you want to kill him, then kill me first!"

"You’re courting death!" Instantly, the dean was furious, his shout echoing, shaking the heavens and earth.

The Grand Elder displayed a look of facing death unflinchingly, looking at the dean, while Liu Huayuan turned to Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, let’s leave!"

However, Ye Feng shook his head and sat down, leaning against the Heaven Slaying Sword: "No need..."

Then, Ye Feng looked at the Second Elder and said, "Second Elder, thank you for your assistance, come back, he can’t kill me..."

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone was stunned, then found his words laughable.

The terrifying power of the dean was witnessed by all, and although Ye Feng was already remarkably defiant of the heavens, he was still no match for the dean, who easily defeated him.

The dean possessed enough strength to easily kill any martial artist present, yet Ye Feng still spoke so casually, daring to say that the dean couldn’t kill him, which everyone found laughable.

The Second Elder immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "Ye Feng, stop talking; the dean’s power is far too terrifying. You’re no match for him. At this point, stop joking and quickly escape!"

Yet Ye Feng remained calm, despite his ragged appearance, unfazed and unpressured: "Do I look like I’m joking? You both, step back!"

"But!" Liu Huayuan and the Second Elder hesitated, not wanting to leave Ye Feng.

If the dean killed Ye Feng just like that, all their efforts would have been in vain.

"No buts! Step back!" Ye Feng intensified his tone, directly ordering the Second Elder and Guardian Liu Huayuan.

Suddenly, they both felt the immense pressure Ye Feng exuded, and with a helpless shake of their heads, they sighed: "Well... if that’s the case, we’ll step back..."

At this moment, both Liu Huayuan and the Second Elder were filled with doubt. Even at this time, Ye Feng dared to remain so calm, not knowing what other trump card Ye Feng hadn’t used.
