The Thunder Beast spewed out rolling lightning, transforming into a sea of thunder. Combined with the formidable divine power of the Thunder Beast, wherever it went, large swathes of the Expeditionary Army's forces fell.
The Vermilion Bird's combat power was even greater. Carrying with it a vast sea of flames, wherever it went, the terrifying incinerating energy instantly turned the soldiers of the Expeditionary Army into ashes!
The Vermilion Bird's current combat strength had reached a level where it could initially contest against an early-stage Heaven Tribulation Realm expert!
Facing this Vermilion Bird, the Expeditionary Army's forces were like child's play!
It could be seen that wherever the Vermilion Bird passed, all members of the Expeditionary Army, including those of the Divine Bridge Realm, were either instantly burned to ash or directly pulverized by its charge, showing not the slightest ability to resist.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei drove the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, like five dragon-like blades surging forward, killing all in their path.
However, Ye Yunfei did not kill those with Imperial Realm cultivation—whether early, middle, or late stage. He merely wounded or knocked them unconscious.
Because Ye Yunfei intended to enslave these Imperial Realm experts.
With the increase in his own realm, Ye Yunfei estimated he was now capable of subduing late-stage Imperial Realm martial artists!
“Incredible!”
The combat power Ye Yunfei displayed left countless people dumbstruck.
“Dammit!”
The Great General's expression drastically changed, his gaze toward Ye Yunfei growing apprehensive.
“Now it's your turn!”
Ye Yunfei's gaze suddenly fixed on the Great General.
*Swoosh!*
Activating the Shadowgale Robe, Ye Yunfei charged toward the Great General.
*Hong…*
The Vermilion Bird spread its pair of blazing wings, following close behind Ye Yunfei.
*Rumble…*
The Vermilion Bird opened its beak and spewed out a vast, rolling sea of flames that blotted the sky as they surged toward the Great General.
“Ye Yunfei, let's see exactly what you're made of!”
Gritting his teeth, the Great General roared fiercely.
*Shua!*
A strangely-shaped black longsword appeared in his hand. He slashed out a crescent blade of dark light, like a black crescent moon shooting toward Ye Yunfei.
*Shua! Shua!…*
The Great General instantly slashed ten times consecutively. Each slash launched a dark crescent blade, tearing through the long sky like rippling waves of black.
These black blade lights swept through the void, causing the surrounding space to tremble faintly, as if unable to bear their might.
This Great General was a late-stage Divine Bridge Realm expert.
Moreover, he was a formidable existence considered peerless among his own tier.
His combat power slightly surpassed even Chu Ji's!
*Hong…*
The Vermilion Bird suddenly accelerated, rushing ahead of Ye Yunfei. Its sharp claws continuously enlarged as they struck forward repeatedly, shattering each dark blade light upon impact.
By the time the Vermilion Bird destroyed the final dark blade, it had already charged right before the Great General.
*Rumble…*
The Vermilion Bird opened its beak and spat a torrent of searing flames akin to lava, crashing toward the Great General.
“Get back!”
Alarmed and enraged, the Great General desperately retreated while his inky black longsword grew in size, slashing toward the Vermilion Bird.
*Clang!*
The Vermilion Bird's claws shot out simultaneously, directly smashing the black longsword aside.
*Rumble…*
The next moment, the Vermilion Bird's claws were already clawing at the Great General's body.
*Hong! Hong…*
Dazzling divine radiance suddenly blossomed in layer upon layer across the Great General's body's surface.
One treasure garment after another continuously materialized. More than ten such garments wrapped tightly around his body.
These treasure garments were, in essence, also magic treasures.
However, treasure garments belonged to a category of magic treasures that were difficult to refine, hard to obtain, and extraordinarily precious.
The price of a single treasure robe was often dozens, even hundreds, of times higher than a magic treasure of the same grade!
Thus, only the truly wealthy would wear over ten treasure garments.
*Clang! Clang…*
The Vermilion Bird's claws continuously hammered against the surface of the Great General's body.
Furthermore, a vast amount of fearsome, lava-like flames had already submerged the Great General, fiercely blazing upon him.
“Hmph, you think these treasure garments can save your life?”
Seeing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
“Five-Sword Chain!”
Ye Yunfei let out a light shout.
*Clang! Clang…*
The five spirit swords connected into a straight line, their sword intents merging together as they struck the treasure garments on the Great General's body.
Among the various transformations of the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, the Five-Sword Chain possessed the sharpest penetrating power!
Every impact pierced through and destroyed one treasure garment on the Great General's body.
Having absorbed over three hundred Heaven Origin treasures and more than fifty Primal treasures, the five spirit swords' grades far surpassed those of the robes on the General's body!
“How is this possible!?”
The Great General, witnessing his treasure garments continuously being destroyed, was scared out of his wits.
By now, he had already realized that he was no match for this Vermilion Bird before him.
“Ye Yunfei! I am the Great General of the Star Nation's Expeditionary Army! If you dare harm me, the Star Nation royal court will never let you go!”
The Great General cried out in terror.
“Is the Star Nation something great?”
Ye Yunfei wore a disdainful expression.
*Clang! Clang…*
Even as he spoke, Ye Yunfei continuously drove the Five-Sword Chain. In the blink of an eye, he pierced through every treasure garment on the Great General's body.
*Hong…*
The Vermilion Bird's claws shot out simultaneously, striking the Great General's body like lightning.
*Bang!*
The Great General was sent flying high into the air, continuously spurting blood, his face instantly pale as paper.
*Rumble…*
At that moment, the Thunder Beast also arrived at an astonishing speed, charging violently and colliding into the Great General with its mass of rolling thunder.
*Hong…*
The Vermilion Bird also charged forward.
The Thunder Beast and the Vermilion Bird came from left and right, hitting the Great General at the same time.
The terrible energies released by the two great divine beasts suppressed the Great General, leaving him utterly helpless!
*Bang!*
The Great General’s body was sent flying once more, his surface covered in blood-red cracks—a shocking sight.
This impact inflicted severe injuries upon the Great General, leaving his aura utterly withered and at its lowest ebb.
*Swoosh…*
In a single step, Ye Yunfei arrived before the Great General. His hand shot out like lightning, grabbing hold of the Great General and directly sealing his cultivation.
“Not good!
The Great General has been captured!”
At this moment, all soldiers of the Expeditionary Army cried out in alarm.
All combat on the battlefield halted.
“How could this be?”
Everyone stared at Ye Yunfei and the Great General he held in his hand, finding it somewhat hard to believe.
The Great General was the leader of the Expeditionary Army and its most powerful existence.
Up until now, leading this Star Nation Expeditionary Army, the Great General had conquered cities and seized territories everywhere, his ferocious might making many star domains tremble at the mere mention of his name.
But now, he was being carried like a helpless chick, his whole body covered in blood and filth.
“Kill.”
Ye Yunfei spoke softly.
*Hong! Hong!*
The Thunder Beast and the Vermilion Bird charged out simultaneously, pouncing to slaughter the Expeditionary Army forces.
“Run!”
The terrifying combat power displayed by the two divine beasts, coupled with the capture of their highest-ranking commander, extinguished any last shred of fighting spirit in the Expeditionary Army soldiers. One by one, they turned and fled.
“Excellent!
The Expeditionary Army is defeated!”
“There’s hope for us to reclaim our homes!”
This turn in the battle excited countless officers and soldiers of the Five-Domain Allied Army, causing them to roar and shout. They understood that the Star Nation's Expeditionary Army had been utterly defeated!
One must remember, these were the main forces of the Star Nation’s Expeditionary Army!
Over the recent period, the Star Nation's Expeditionary Army had arrived bearing overwhelming, sky-high ferocity, invading five star domains. They had already occupied three star domains one after another, causing widespread fear and panic.
Because of these Expeditionary Army forces, countless people across the five domains had suffered tragic deaths, countless had lost their homes, had their families destroyed and had to leave their native lands.
Now, these very forces had been utterly defeated by Ye Yunfei alone.
“Let's go kill them!
Beat them while they're down!”
Chu Ji was also immensely excited, roaring loudly.
“Kill!”
All forces of the Five-Domain Allied Army, led by Chu Ji, gave chase and slaughtered the Expeditionary Army soldiers who were desperately fleeing.
