"Hahaha... Enough talk! We'll be fighting regardless! Whoever wants what I have, bring it on!"
Right at that moment, Xuanlong Daozhang suddenly threw his head back and gave a wild, hearty laugh. The aura radiating from his body gradually intensified, as if an ancient primal behemoth was awakening.
Before this, when he was with Ye Yunfei, he had been calm and at ease, chatting and smiling. Now, facing these enemies, he had finally erupted.
Waves of chaotic mist could be seen continuously rising, intertwining with fragments of the Dao. Faintly, flashes of blood-colored lightning even crackled and roared like startling thunder, causing hearts to tremble with fear.
"Die!"
Then, before anyone could react, Xuanlong Daozhang exploded into action. With one step forward, he threw a punch towards an old man nearby. With a resounding boom, his fist crashed forth like a divine mountain, endless fragments of law swirling around it, utterly terrifying.
"Ahhh!"
That old man hailed from a major power in Tianxiong Domain and was a renowned expert in his own right. But faced with Xuanlong Daozhang's fist, he was scared out of his wits. He desperately tried to retreat, but it was too late. With a *pfft*, half his body was blasted apart, and he let out a miserable shriek.
*Boom!*
Xuanlong Daozhang, swift as lightning, delivered a follow-up punch, instantly annihilating the old man's remaining half-corpse and his Soul Body on the spot.
This old man was an expert at the late-stage World Fusion Realm. No one expected him to be killed by a single punch, utterly defenseless.
Everyone around them was startled and began stepping back in unison.
"Everyone, the situation is a bit off! Xuanlong Daozhang's strength seems to have recovered significantly! Everyone, be careful! Let's join forces and attack him together!" someone yelled.
In fact, all the masters present could see the situation was wrong. The combat power Xuanlong Daozhang was displaying was far greater than they had imagined!
*Boom! Boom!...*
Over a dozen old men attacked simultaneously, either summoning magic treasures or unleashing various ultimate killing moves, all directed at Xuanlong Daozhang.
These dozen or so old men were all top-tier experts from various major forces within Tianxiong Domain. It was them who had jointly hunted Xuanlong Daozhang for a period, forcing him to flee east and hide west, ending up in an extremely sorry state.
"Today, I'll let you lot get a taste of what I can do!"
Xuanlong Daozhang pointed a finger, and a white Dharma Wheel shot out from within his body, emitting a blinding radiance. Spinning at extreme speed, it sliced through the surrounding space, creating endless shards of time and space.
*Boom...*
That white Dharma Wheel kept spinning while continuously expanding, rumbling forward with crushing force. Everywhere it passed, masters paled with fright, hastily dodging.
*Boom! Boom!...*
Great explosions rang out one after another as Xuanlong Daozhang fiercely battled the dozen-plus old men.
Xuanlong Daozhang, standing alone against over a dozen top experts of Tianxiong Domain, showed not the slightest fear. Instead, he pressed forward step by step, actually gaining the upper hand from the very start.
"Not good! It seems his strength has recovered a great deal during this time! The combat power he's displaying now is much stronger than before!"
Right at the start of the fight, those dozen old men's expressions changed drastically. During their joint pursuit before, they had engaged Xuanlong Daozhang in numerous fierce battles. Each time, they held the advantage, almost shattering his palace. But this time, the combat power Xuanlong Daozhang displayed had suddenly and significantly increased!
"Everyone, today we must eliminate him! Otherwise, if he recovers further in the future, I'm afraid no one in the entire Tianxiong Domain will be his match!" an old man shouted.
"Yes! Everyone, let's all exert our full strength! No holding back! If Xuanlong Daozhang isn't removed, our factions will never know peace hereafter!"
Hearing this, the other old men felt a chill in their hearts, and someone else shouted.
*Boom! Boom!...*
The dozen-plus old men all attacked with their full power, aiming to kill Xuanlong Daozhang.
"All those with strength at the World Fusion Realm, come forward! Join forces to encircle and kill Xuanlong Daozhang together!" another old man roared.
Thus, all the World Fusion Realm experts in the vicinity rushed forward to participate in besieging Xuanlong Daozhang.
Simultaneously, the other masters and forces surrounding them had long since deployed their formations, encircling this entire area.
"Hahaha... You whelps, all of you, come at me!"
Despite being besieged by so many World Fusion Realm experts, Xuanlong Daozhang's fighting spirit soared, and he broke into loud laughter.
"What are you all waiting for! Seize that young man! I want to personally bring him before my grandson's grave and tear him apart by a thousand cuts!"
Elder Jing of the Sword Emperor Pavilion was also participating in besieging Xuanlong Daozhang. He turned his head and bellowed at the other experts and forces of the Sword Emperor Pavilion.
"Everyone, move now! Capture that boy!"
A Tianliang Sacred Land Elder also pointed at Ye Yunfei and yelled.
Immediately, people from the two major forces, Sword Emperor Pavilion and Tianliang Sacred Land, charged towards Ye Yunfei.
*Boom! Boom!...*
One energy-hand after another reached out, grasping towards Ye Yunfei.
In the eyes of those two factions' forces, Ye Yunfei was merely an ant at the Star-Gazing Realm—a realm not worth mentioning. They all wanted to be the first to capture Ye Yunfei, as doing so would earn them merit.
"Well then, let me accompany you all in a good fight," Ye Yunfei said with a faint smile.
"First, let's test the power of the One Thought Soul-Devouring Flower," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Not long ago, Ye Yunfei had just successfully cultivated this Soul Power martial technique and had been wanting to try it out.
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon three people charging towards him. With a thought...
These three individuals possessed excellent movement techniques and were the first to charge at Ye Yunfei, each reaching out to grab him.
Suddenly, all three shuddered, their faces showing shock and horror. They discovered a white flower bud had appeared within their Soul Seas, slowly blooming!
Then, they realized that white flower bud was devouring their Soul Power at a terrifying rate. Even more frightening, this white flower bud was slowly approaching their Soul Bodies, draining energy from them!
The One Thought Soul-Devouring Flower was an extremely overbearing Soul Power martial technique. Once planted within the target's Soul Sea, it would automatically bloom. During the blooming process, it would consume the target's Soul Force Energy and the energy of their Soul Body.
"Ahhh... What the hell is this flower?! Get out!"
These three discovered their Soul Force Energy and Soul Body energy were being devoured at an astonishing speed. Their heads felt like they were splitting open, and they couldn't help but scream miserably.
"Not bad," Ye Yunfei nodded. His gaze then shifted to four others, and he once again activated the One Thought Soul-Devouring Flower secret technique.
"Aah! Ahh..."
Those four first underwent drastic changes in expression, then soon clutched their heads and screamed.
What's going on?
Everyone else around them was greatly startled, showing puzzled expressions.
Among the seven people targeted by Ye Yunfei's One Thought Soul-Devouring Flower, four were at the early-stage World Creation Realm, and three at the mid-stage World Creation Realm. None had even begun to fight Ye Yunfei formally before they started clutching their heads and screaming.
This left the others rather bewildered. Their movements unconsciously slowed, and several of the giant hands reaching for Ye Yunfei paused momentarily.
"Let's try it on a late-stage World Creation Realm expert."
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon a late-stage World Creation Realm expert.
"You... What do you think you're doing!"
That late-stage World Creation Realm expert jumped in fright.
Just moments ago, Ye Yunfei had merely glanced at those seven people, resulting in them clutching their heads and screaming.
