Ye Yunfei understood that if things continued this way, the members of the Light Faction in this city would be slaughtered to the last man!
"Heh heh… Brat, no need to be anxious. For this battle, your Light Faction will definitely lose. All of its members, including you, will be killed." At this moment, the black-robed man battling Ye Yunfei saw his anxious expression and sneered.
The seven black holes he unleashed had temporarily pinned Ye Yunfei in place, seemingly placing him in a difficult situation. And since this black-robed man still had several high-level techniques he hadn't yet used, he felt he could completely suppress the young man before him.
"It seems the Light Faction has been secretly nurturing the younger generation, wanting to contend with our Dark Faction in the next World-Destroying War. It's just a pity that all the young talents they've cultivated will eventually become nourishment for our Dark Faction," the black-robed man said with a mocking expression.
Right then.
"We are ready to seal those seven black holes!" Hun Lao sent a mental message to Ye Yunfei.
"Good! Seal them immediately!" Ye Yunfei nodded.
Boom!
Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm acted simultaneously. Boundless spatial energy erupted and swept directly towards the seven black holes that were spewing Dark Energy to seal them.
The next instant, all seven black holes were sealed simultaneously and began to slowly fade away.
"How is this possible? This is a forbidden secret art of our Dark Faction! How could this human brat know how to break it?" The black-robed man couldn't quite believe it.
At the same time as Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm sealed the seven black holes, Ye Yunfei took out a large handful of Formation Flags and flung them outward. In an instant, dozens of Formations materialized and descended upon the black-robed man.
Instantaneous Formation Creation!
Ye Yunfei had continuously been comprehending the Heavenly Formation Secret Records, never slacking off in his study of Formations despite his busyness. Because of this, the Formations Ye Yunfei was laying down now were even more powerful than the ones he'd created back in the Ancient God Ruins!
Dozens of Formations encircled the black-robed man completely, causing him to alternate between shock and fury. He employed various methods, frantically trying to break the Formations, but in the short term, he was unable to shatter them all.
Ssss!
Ye Yunfei focused his will and unleashed a Soul Sword, aiming it at the Soul Body within the opponent's Soul Sea.
Ye Yunfei's current level of Soul Power was already equivalent to that of an Earthly Immortal. Combined with the incredibly sturdy Soul Sword, using it against an Advanced True Immortal resulted in terrifying lethality.
During the earlier phase of the battle, the reason Ye Yunfei hadn't yet employed the Soul Sword against his foe was because he wanted to test the true combat power of an Advanced True Immortal and see what effect unleashing his current full strength against one would be.
But the current situation was critical, and Ye Yunfei could no longer afford such considerations.
"Impossible!" The black-robed man possessed keen perception and naturally sensed the Soul Sword instantly. Feeling the potent Soul Power energy contained within it sent a shiver down his spine.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In his panic, one Soul-Power-type magical treasure after another manifested within his Soul Sea, rushing to intercept the Soul Sword.
However, Ye Yunfei's Soul Sword had been forged from Nine-Aperture Chaos Soul Stone, making it impossibly hard. Even Earthly Immortal-level masters couldn't destroy it. The various Soul-Power treasures within the black-robed man's Soul Sea simply couldn't withstand it. They were shattered one after another.
"Damn it!" Discovering that all his Soul-Power treasures within his Soul Sea had been destroyed, the black-robed man trembled with fear. He desperately tried to retreat, but the surrounding space was completely sealed off by Formations, leaving him no room to escape.
Argh!
Finally, the black-robed man's Soul Body was injured by the Soul Sword. He let out a wretched scream as his body was sent flying backward. His aura instantly weakened significantly.
Whoosh!
Without even looking back, Ye Yunfei activated his Space-Time Vanishing technique and appeared instantly beside Elder Yan. He immediately threw out another large handful of Formation Flags. One Formation after another constantly manifested, descending upon the Dark Faction expert currently battling Elder Yan.
"Elder Yan, I will trap all three of these Perfected True Immortals. You can deal with them slowly. All other members of the Dark Faction, leave to me!" Ye Yunfei sent a mental message to Elder Yan.
"Instantaneous Formation Creation! What a high level of skill in Formations!" Seeing Ye Yunfei casually erect dozens of powerful Formations, Elder Yan was both shocked and delighted.
"Roar…" The Dark Faction expert, who had been locked in fierce combat with Elder Yan, was suddenly surrounded by so many Formations, caught somewhat off guard. In his rage, he let out a furious roar.
Ssss!
Ye Yunfei willed it, and another Soul Sword shot out, attacking this Dark Faction expert.
"How could this brat's Soul Power be so terrifying?!" The Dark Faction expert couldn't help but be greatly alarmed, retreating repeatedly. Because he sensed that this young human's Soul Power energy seemed even stronger than his own!
Boom! Boom!
Within this expert's Soul Sea, one Soul-Power-type magical treasure after another was activated, rushing to block the Soul Sword.
Shockingly, over twenty Perfected True Immortal-level treasures were hidden within his Soul Sea. Activated simultaneously, their defensive capabilities were astonishing.
This Dark Faction expert had a special status as a Resource Collector, carrying a very comprehensive set of various equipment on his person.
After the Soul Sword shattered all twenty-plus Perfected True Immortal-level treasures, its power finally diminished somewhat.
Ye Yunfei retracted the Soul Sword.
"Ye Yunfei's combat strength is actually this formidable! I underestimated him before!" Seeing Ye Yunfei force this Dark Faction expert into a constant retreat upon arriving, Elder Yan was greatly astonished.
After all, he had just exchanged dozens of blows with this Dark Faction expert and still hadn't gained the upper hand!
"It seems Ye Yunfei's combat power is no weaker than an old-timer like me. How laughable that I kept scrutinizing him with a judging eye before. The younger generation is indeed fearsome, truly fearsome…" Elder Yan couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei turned and charged towards the other two Resource Collectors, arriving immediately behind one of them.
Boom! Boom!
Repeating his technique, Ye Yunfei directly threw out another large handful of Formation Flags, setting up dozens of Formations that descended upon this Resource Collector.
"Brat, you can deploy Formations, but I have Formation-Breaking Flags!" This Resource Collector possessed strong Soul Power and had already clearly sensed Ye Yunfei's every move. Seeing Ye Yunfei use Formations against him, he let out a loud shout.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
One after another, black Formation Flags shot out from within his body, constantly enlarging to become tall, black flagstaffs.
These were all Formation Flags specifically designed for breaking Formations!
"So you have Formation-Breaking Flags, so what? Let's see how many you can break!" Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei swung his hands repeatedly, consecutively flinging out two more batches of Formation Flags.
Each batch of flags created thirty to forty Formations.
The two batches combined created over sixty Formations, surrounding the Resource Collector in a grand display. Each Formation emitted powerful Formational energy, and quite a few shot out thick beams of Formational energy pillars that rained down upon the Resource Collector like a storm.
Although the Formation-Breaking Flags released by this Resource Collector had some effect, facing over sixty Formations, their ability to break Formations was somewhat overstretched.
Ssss!
Ye Yunfei directly unleashed his Soul Sword, attacking this Resource Collector's Soul Body.
The Resource Collector was both shocked and furious, retreating repeatedly, appearing thoroughly flustered.
By this time, Ye Yunfei was already charging towards the third Resource Collector. Using the same methods, he trapped the third Resource Collector within moments.
The Soul Sword and Formations were two of Ye Yunfei's most formidable trump cards!
When used in concert, they were fully capable of dealing with Perfected True Immortals!
"Excellent, truly excellent!" Seeing this, Elder Yan couldn't help but cry out in praise, letting out a sigh of relief.
Once the three Resource Collectors were trapped by Ye Yunfei, the crisis for the Light Faction members was largely resolved.
"Elder Yan, dealing with these three is up to you now. I'll give you a Formation Flag. With this flag, the Formations I've laid will have no effect on you whatsoever. As for all other members of the Dark Faction, leave them all to me!" Ye Yunfei retrieved a Formation Flag and teleported it in front of Elder Yan as he spoke.
