Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu discovered that the moment their longswords pierced into Ye Yunfei's body, they immediately encountered enormous resistance. The swords penetrated at most half a finger's depth before they could advance no further.
And the black longswords in their hands were met with a powerful rebounding force, directly shattering them, leaving only the hilts.
Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu each held a sword hilt, somewhat at a loss.
"Zhou Ye, Wu Tianyu, what are you two doing?! Ah! I get it now, you two have also betrayed us like Mo Qi and joined the Dark Faction!" Seeing this scene, Yan Xiaoquan and Wu Wang couldn't help but be greatly shocked. Yan Xiaoquan shouted furiously.
"More like my body is far harder than even Mystic Immortal-grade magical treasures." At this moment, Ye Yunfei's gaze was fixed on Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu as he sneered.
After all, Ye Yunfei's physical body had already fused with hundreds of Mystic Immortal-level magical treasures. One or two Mystic Immortal-grade artifacts were absolutely incomparable to Ye Yunfei's flesh.
Bang! Bang!
Ye Yunfei's fists blasted out.
Terrible physical strength augmented his fists, producing immense crushing pressure that suppressed Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu in place, rendering them unable to move.
"Not good!" Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu paled in fright.
Boom…
Suddenly, waves of dark energy erupted endlessly from within the two's bodies, surging skyward. Simultaneously, their appearances underwent a drastic change—their bodies continuously grew taller, revealing their true forms.
They weren't the real Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu at all, but two Dark Faction beings disguised as them!
However, they carried the heavy auras of Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu, even their Soul Body signatures were identical, which was why Ye Yunfei, momentarily unobservant, had nearly fallen into their trap.
Fortunately, Ye Yunfei's physical body was incredibly robust. Being stabbed by them was like an itch—it amounted to nothing.
"So they weren't Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu!" Only then did Yan Xiaoquan realize their true identities, exclaiming in surprise.
"Brother Ye, be careful, these two are Advanced Mystic Immortals!" Wu Wang shouted a warning.
Boom! Boom!
After revealing their true forms, the two Dark Faction beings each unleashed a black seven-storied pagoda that erupted with formidable energy pressure, suppressing towards Ye Yunfei.
The two seven-storied pagodas continuously enlarged, traversing the air, immediately shattering the space where Ye Yunfei stood.
"Kill this brat!" All the other forces that had just charged out from the three hidden Formations also rushed towards Ye Yunfei.
Some of these forces were from the Dark Faction, while the majority belonged to the Heavenly God Palace!
Because Ye Yunfei sensed their energy auras!
"Ye Yunfei, you destroyed our Heavenly God Palace's branch in the Xianling Realm! Today, we'll use you to sacrifice to the souls of our fallen!" An old man pointed at Ye Yunfei, howling furiously.
"Oh? So, this trap was likely set by people from the Main World's Heavenly God Palace specifically to deal with me," Ye Yunfei sneered after hearing the old man's roar.
Boom…
At this moment, the two black pagodas had already smashed to a position right before Ye Yunfei, releasing vast energy pressure like a dark tidal wave about to engulf him.
Bang! Bang!
Ye Yunfei threw two consecutive punches, smashing the two seven-storied pagodas away.
"Too strong!" The two Dark Faction beings showed looks of shock and fury. Simultaneously, they each drew a black longsword and thrust them towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei neither dodged nor evaded. With two 'bam' punches, he directly blasted the two Dark Faction beings' bodies apart. Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, he transported their flesh-and-blood essence and Soul Bodies into the Illusionary Shadow Pagoda for his Bloodline Clone to refine.
Ye Yunfei knew that the bloodline essence and Soul Bodies of Dark Faction beings were somewhat special. If not refined quickly, they would immediately vanish.
Clang! Clang!
The two black longswords struck Ye Yunfei's chest simultaneously and were repelled.
"Two masks... could it be these two Dark Faction members wore these masks to deceive my senses, making me mistake them for Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu at first?" Ye Yunfei noticed that after blasting the two Dark Faction beings apart, two masks floated down. He waved a hand and collected them.
"This brat's combat power is formidable!" The forces surrounding and attacking Ye Yunfei were shocked to see him kill two Advanced Mystic Immortals with just two punches. Some members of the Heavenly God Palace even wanted to retreat.
But it was already too late.
Whoosh…
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, releasing several sharp sword energies that swept across.
Thud, thud…
Immediately, a group of people were bisected at the waist.
Especially those at the Heavenly Emperor Realm or below were utterly unable to withstand the sword energies Ye Yunfei unleashed.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei employed the Time-Space Annihilation Art, appearing directly before a middle-aged man charging towards him. With a 'bang,' their bodies collided directly.
This middle-aged man was a Primary Mystic Immortal.
Ye Yunfei's movement speed was far too fast for him, so fast he had no time to react.
With a 'puff,' the middle-aged man's body directly exploded, transforming into a blood mist.
The scene looked like an egg being smashed against a hard rock!
To the average Mystic Immortal-level being, Ye Yunfei's body was the difference between rock and egg!
Boom, boom…
Ye Yunfei's fists continuously blasted out, each punch smashing one opponent, sometimes even several at once—no suspense whatsoever.
As the fight escalated, Ye Yunfei utilized a physical body divine ability, his arms continuously enlarging until, in the blink of an eye, they resembled two colossal flood dragons sweeping left and right, crushing a vast swath wherever they passed.
In just a few breaths, he had killed all the forces that had swarmed him, leaving only the old man who had pointed and cursed at Ye Yunfei standing there, face pale with terror, trembling uncontrollably, not daring to act any further.
"Brother Ye is truly ferocious!" Wu Wang couldn't help but say with a trembling voice as he and Yan Xiaoquan witnessed Ye Yunfei go berserk and annihilate a large group in an instant, feeling a chill in their hearts.
The key point was that these slaughtered forces were all quite strong, with many Mystic Immortal experts among them!
"You are from the Main World's Heavenly God Palace, correct?" Ye Yunfei stared at the old man, asking indifferently.
"Yes… Ye Yunfei, you are too cruel! You kill without hesitation! Aren't you afraid you will provoke the wrath of our Heavenly God Palace after slaughtering so many of our members?" The old man looked at Ye Yunfei with terrified eyes, summoning his courage to speak.
Of course, he absolutely did not dare to fight Ye Yunfei again.
"It doesn't matter. Your Heavenly God Palace is in collusion with the Dark Faction. Even if your palace doesn't come looking for me, one day I will come for you all." Ye Yunfei wore an expression of disdain as he spoke coldly.
"Ye Yunfei, just you wait! Our Heavenly God Palace will never let this go!" At that moment, the old man suddenly turned and fled, seemingly employing a rather advanced secret technique, instantly putting a large distance between himself and Ye Yunfei.
"You cannot escape from me." Ye Yunfei sneered.
Whoosh! The Soul Sword shot out, instantly piercing into the old man's soul sea.
Boom, boom…
This old man was an Advanced Mystic Immortal; his own Soul Power energy was quite decent. Moreover, his soul sea was arranged with three Soul Power-type magical treasures. All three artifacts simultaneously manifested, moving to block the Soul Sword.
However, the hardness of these three Soul Power artifacts simply couldn't compare to the Soul Sword; they were directly repelled.
Crack…
The old man's Soul Body had a small portion sliced off by the Soul Sword. He emitted a shrill, miserable scream.
However, Ye Yunfei did not kill the old man completely. Instead, with a wave of his sleeve, he reduced the old man's flesh to a bloody mist and transported his mutilated Soul Body into the Illusionary Shadow Pagoda.
"Brother Ye, your combat power is terrifying. Even Advanced Mystic Immortals are instantly killed before you!" Wu Wang came before Ye Yunfei, continuously praising.
"What about Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu? Could they have already been killed?" Meanwhile, Yan Xiaoquan began searching for the real Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu.
"No, they haven't been killed. They've been imprisoned. Right over there." Ye Yunfei flashed to a corner of the plaza. With a turn of his palm, several Formation Flags appeared, which he threw out simultaneously.
With a boom, three Formations manifested ahead.
A hidden formation, an isolation formation, and an illusion formation!
Trapped at the center of these three Formations were two people!
These two were already sealed, unable to move their bodies or speak.
Because these three Formations were quite powerful, the two inside couldn't sense anything outside the Formations, so they were completely unaware of the arrival of Ye Yunfei's group.
Nor did they know a great battle had just occurred outside.
However, Ye Yunfei's trio, standing outside the Formations, could clearly see the two individuals.
"Zhou Ye, Wu Tianyu! Great! They're indeed still alive." The moment Yan Xiaoquan saw the two inside the Formations, she exclaimed joyfully.
"The Heavenly God Palace needed Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu to lure us over; they still had use for them, so they wouldn't kill them." Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"That should be it. Otherwise, Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu would have been killed long ago." Wu Wang nodded, agreeing with Ye Yunfei's reasoning.
"Let's break the formations and rescue them first." Yan Xiaoquan said.
"That's easy." Ye Yunfei turned his palm, revealing three small Formation Flags. These were formation-breaking flags, specifically used to crack Formations.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, throwing out the three formation-breaking flags. The three Formations were shattered with the sounds.
"What's happening? The three formations trapping us seem to have been broken!" Inside the formations, Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu immediately sensed it and exclaimed joyfully.
"Zhou Ye, Wu Tianyu, how are you two!" Yan Xiaoquan had already rushed over, arriving directly before the two, calling out.
Yan Xiaoquan directly acted, removing the seals on Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu's bodies.
Yan Xiaoquan was an Intermediate Mystic Immortal; her strength wasn't weak. Removing some energy seals wasn't difficult for her.
"Yan Xiaoquan, it's you! And Wu Wang! So it was you two who came to rescue us!" Seeing Yan Xiaoquan and Wu Wang, Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu were overjoyed.
"We came to rescue you. But the main rescuer wasn't us two, it was Brother Ye. If Brother Ye hadn't acted, just relying on Xiaoquan and me, saving you would have been very difficult." Wu Wang also walked over and spoke.
"Brother Ye? Could it be our teammate we haven't met yet, Ye Yunfei?" After their seals were removed, Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu stood up, stretching their limbs. Hearing Wu Wang's words, they were stunned and looked towards Ye Yunfei.
"Correct. I am Ye Yunfei." Ye Yunfei nodded in reply.
"Alright, our squad now only has the five of us left. Next, let's discuss and prepare to start the official mission. We've already wasted a lot of time." Yan Xiaoquan's tone turned solemn.
