"Alright!" Elder Yan nodded.
"None shall live!" Ye Yunfei slowly turned, his gaze sweeping over the forces of the Dark Faction as a terrifying aura of killing intent radiated from him.
In the next moment, Ye Yunfei directly took out the Soul-Locking Bow and began loosing arrows in a frenzy.
Ye Yunfei targeted his shots primarily from the weakest targets upward.
Those Dark Faction members of weaker cultivation levels simply could not possibly resist the Soul-Locking Bow. Where the six long arrows flew, they mowed down entire swaths of Dark Faction troops, causing them to fall in droves.
The Soul-Locking Bow consumed energy at a tremendous rate, but Ye Yunfei possessed a Divine Chaos Meridian. An astonishing amount of energy was stored within his meridians and Dantian, making him utterly unconcerned about depletion. Furthermore, Ye Yunfei carried a vast quantity of various pills and rare treasures specifically meant for replenishing energy.
Therefore, while energy consumption might be a headache for others, for Ye Yunfei, it was a non-issue he didn't need to consider!
*Clang! Clang!...*
The six long arrows were like a harvest of death. In their wake, whether they were Mystic Immortals or those below the Mystic Immortal realm among the Dark Faction ranks, they fell incessantly. Corpses littered the ground, and blood flowed in rivers.
Among the Dark Faction personnel within this city, roughly half were the faction's own creatures, while the other half came from affiliated forces belonging to other races.
"Kid, I'm from the Three Immortals Temple of the Main World! Do you dare incur the wrath of our Three Immortals Temple by killing our members?!" a middle-aged Daoist priest roared at Ye Yunfei.
Around the middle-aged priest lay over a dozen corpses dressed in Daoist robes. These priests all belonged to the Three Immortals Temple. Having already submitted to the Dark Faction, they had come with them to fight the Light Faction.
"Brat! We are members of the Barbarian God Sect! If you dare kill Barbarian God Sect members, you will be ceaselessly hunted by our sect from this day forth, never knowing peace again!" A tall, muscular man with bulging muscles glared with furious eyes, bellowing at Ye Yunfei.
"Oh? So the Barbarian God Sect has also surrendered to the Dark Faction. Then members of that sect shall also die!" Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted over, and he spoke coldly.
*Clang! Clang!...*
The six long arrows shot forth, directly vanishing from sight.
"Roar... Kid, come at me! I'm not afraid of you!" Seeing Ye Yunfei shooting arrows at him, the muscular man was startled, but his aura didn't diminish in the slightest. On the contrary, it grew even fiercer as he wildly swung the two heavy hammers in his hands to block in front of himself.
The next instant, three long arrows appeared above his head, while another three appeared behind his back. Instantly, they blasted the man's tall, sturdy body apart. This muscular man possessed strength equivalent to an Intermediate Mystic Immortal and only excelled in physical power. Agility and speed were his shortcomings, leaving him powerless to dodge.
"I wonder how Qing Luo is doing now. According to Elder Yan, the conflict between the Reincarnation Palace and the other major forces in the Main World is exceptionally intense right now, so my Qing Luo must be exceptionally busy now."
After slaying the Barbarian God Sect man, Ye Yunfei suddenly thought of Su Qingluo.
"Something isn't right! Within the Ancient God Ruins, Barbarian God Sect members also participated in actions against the Reincarnation Palace. This indicates the Barbarian God Sect should be affiliated with one of those major forces. So why has the Barbarian God Sect now surrendered to the Dark Faction? Could it be..."
Ye Yunfei suddenly thought of this question, involuntarily frowning. Inside the Ancient God Ruins, he had personally witnessed Barbarian God Sect members following the forces of the major powers from the Main World to oppose the Reincarnation Palace. This proved the Barbarian God Sect was definitely affiliated with one of those major powers! Yet now, members of the Barbarian God Sect were mixed in with the Dark Faction—obviously abnormal.
"Could it be that the major Main World powers hostile to the Reincarnation Palace have already formed an alliance with the Dark Faction? If that's true... Reincarnation Palace is in a terribly disadvantageous position!" Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Through contact during this period, Ye Yunfei had already understood how terrifying the Dark Faction's overall strength was. They could casually dispatch a batch of True Immortals and Earthly Immortals! The Dark Faction was definitely one of the top-tier, most powerful forces within this expanse of space. Otherwise, they couldn't have launched the World-Destroying Wars multiple times. Ye Yunfei even felt the Dark Faction was likely the strongest super-power in this region, because according to his understanding, the Dark Faction held the upper hand in every past World-Destroying War!
"If those major powers truly allied with the Dark Faction, the situation would become extremely dire for the Reincarnation Palace. I wonder if the Reincarnation Palace knows about this yet. Should I go inform Qing Luo?" Ye Yunfei pondered.
"Kid, die!" At that moment, five True Immortals suddenly charged to Ye Yunfei's side. Three were from the Dark Faction, while the other two were humans.
These five True Immortals had long been quietly approaching Ye Yunfei from different directions. They revealed themselves simultaneously, all targeting Ye Yunfei for the kill. Among the five, three were Initial True Immortals and two were Intermediate True Immortals.
However, with Ye Yunfei's sensory abilities, he had long since detected every move of these five experts. With a single thought, he unleashed his Soul Sword.
"Ahh...!" The five True Immortal experts cried out in agony almost simultaneously, bleeding from all seven orifices as they stared at Ye Yunfei in horror. Their Soul Bodies had been wounded!
"Having two Soul Bodies truly is advantageous. I could unleash soul techniques endlessly without fear of soul power depletion," Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
Generally, in combat, if one continuously unleashes soul techniques numerous times, it was easy to cause soul power exhaustion, or even fatigue the Soul Body. Therefore, particularly powerful soul techniques could not be continuously deployed against enemies. They were only used as trump cards, unleashed at critical moments to catch foes unprepared. Continuously using the Soul Sword against enemies like Ye Yunfei did was unbearable for most people.
But Ye Yunfei possessed two Soul Bodies, and his Soul Power was exceptionally powerful. Even if he continuously used the Soul Sword in battle, he wouldn't suffer soul power depletion. Moreover, Ye Yunfei's soul sea was still sealed with a batch of War Remnant Soul energy! If his soul power truly ran dry, he could immediately refine these War Remnant Souls to replenish it!
And so, Ye Yunfei moved across the battlefield, primarily using the Soul-Locking Bow to slay enemies while occasionally unleashing other techniques and skills. He rapidly slaughtered batch after batch of Dark Faction troops. He was like a god of slaughter descended to the mortal realm, a sight people dared not look upon directly!
"Brother Ye's combat prowess is too terrifying! Compared to him, we aren't even worth a single mention. It's utterly disheartening!" At this moment, Yan Xiaoquan, Wu Wang, Zhou Ye, and Wu Tianyu found themselves idling, with almost no enemies left to kill. Ye Yunfei's speed was so swift they originally had opponents to fight, but Ye Yunfei charged over and instantly annihilated them.
In the end, the four simply stopped fighting and stood aside, watching Ye Yunfei slaughter the Dark Faction forces. They exclaimed in amazement repeatedly, admiring Ye Yunfei to the extreme. Yan Xiaoquan's beautiful eyes were fixed tightly on Ye Yunfei, not leaving him for a single moment!
Eventually, the majority of the Dark Faction forces were eradicated by Ye Yunfei, with only a small fraction managing to escape.
"Finished killing." Ye Yunfei halted his movements, stored away the Soul-Locking Bow, swept his gaze across the entire city, and spoke slowly.
"Two Dark Faction experts remain." Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted, discovering that of the three Resource Collectors, Elder Yan had already slain one. Two remained.
