"It's fine, I have a tough hide. I should be able to hold out until then!"
Ye Yunfei shouted.
Boom!
Right as he was speaking, a massive golden seal smashed into Ye Yunfei's back, sending him flying. The spot that was hit was a bloody mess, a gaping hole appearing, from which blood gushed out in torrents.
"How is this possible! This brat's body is too damn tough! We've hit him so many times, yet he's still fine. He can stand up normally and fight normally!"
Even though they sent Ye Yunfei flying time and again, the Earth Immortal experts besieging him were each filled with shock and fury. Because they had discovered that Ye Yunfei was incredibly resistant to punishment!
Their attacks could injure Ye Yunfei, but that was the extent of it! Each of their attacks only inflicted some wounds on Ye Yunfei, unable to cause greater damage. Especially those Advanced Earth Immortals; they were confident that a single punch from them could crush thousands, even tens of thousands of beings at Ye Yunfei's realm into dust. Yet now they found they couldn't do anything to him.
"This is no way to keep going! No matter how much of a beating you can take, you can't let them just keep pounding on you! Keep fighting like this and you'll die sooner or later!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei getting beaten up so miserably, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but cry out.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei was blasted again, and this time it was by the combined attack of several Earth Immortal experts. His body was sent tumbling through the air, and thick cracks immediately appeared all over his frame. Blood cascaded out, instantly dyeing his entire body crimson.
"Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, you're always boasting that you can traverse any formation or restriction in the world! How come you can't tunnel out of this city! Always bragging when it's not needed, but when you're truly needed, you're useless!"
Hu Miao shouted at the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"I'm studying the Dark Faction's formations inside this city right now! I should see through them soon, then I'll take Ye Yunfei and tunnel us out!"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm retorted.
"Then hurry up!"
Hu Miao urged.
"Stop with the nonsense! Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, hurry up and study this city's formations. Best to figure them out quickly and get us out. Also, let's go all out! Let's help Ye Yunfei fight the enemies together!"
Huang Shang said.
At that moment, Huang Shang released a wave of dense ghostly mist that continuously spread, making the entire interior of the city look sinister and haunted. Numerous ghostly shadows drifted everywhere within the city, attacking the Earth Immortals from all directions. Huang Shang had refined and absorbed many Earth Immortal-level Soul Bodies recently, causing his strength to skyrocket in a short time. Now, even facing these Earth Immortal experts head-on, he could barely put up a fight!
"Don't worry, I'm fine. And soon, I'll be able to break the formations in this city."
Knowing that Hu Miao and the other two were worried, Ye Yunfei spoke up. At the same time, he unleashed all sorts of techniques and martial skills to retaliate. Even though he was injured, Ye Yunfei's combat power still remained at its peak. This made the Earth Immortals even more shocked and angry, while they secretly couldn't help but admire him in their hearts.
Because they understood that even if they themselves were subjected to attacks from so many Earth Immortals and hit so many times in the body, they'd either be dead or utterly crippled. Yet this junior before their eyes kept getting sent flying by them but rushed back again and again to restart the fight. Such a formidable body forced these Earth Immortal experts to admit its toughness.
"Fortunately, before I came, I fused quite a few Earth Immortal magic treasures using the 'Transform into Tool' secret technique, which caused a qualitative leap in both my body's quality and strength. Combined with the other cultivation techniques and secret arts I practice, I've barely managed to hold on until now."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
At the same moment.
A group of people arrived outside this world. At the forefront were Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu!
"This should be the world! This is a Dark Faction stronghold! I sense Ye Yunfei's aura! Let's go, let's get inside!"
Old Man Chu sensed for a moment, then charged in first. The members of the Light Faction behind him also surged forward, rushing into the world ahead.
"Over there! There's a fight going on over there!"
Just after entering the world, Chan Master Tianwu pointed towards a location on the distant continent and shouted.
Whoosh!
Old Man Chu had already activated his movement technique, charging towards the city where Ye Yunfei was. Although that city was heavily enveloped by the Dark Faction's eighteen Net of Heaven and Earth Formations, the energy released by so many Earth Immortal experts fighting inside was terrifying. It transmitted out even through the formations, spreading throughout the entire world long ago. Moreover, underneath that city, vast amounts of Earth Qi Energy and Earth Dragons were wildly assaulting those eighteen Net of Heaven and Earth Formations, creating even more terrifying commotion. The entire continent was shaking violently as if being sifted.
Therefore, as soon as Chan Master Tianwu and Old Man Chu entered this world, they immediately discovered Ye Yunfei's location.
Back inside the city.
Boom!
An Earth Immortal from the Qiantang Empire punched Ye Yunfei from behind. A golden dragon coiled around the golden fist, its punch power horrifying, instantly punching a hole straight through Ye Yunfei's back.
"Little bastard Ye Yunfei! We'll avenge the deep-seated blood feud of our Qiantang Empire now! Die!"
This Qiantang Empire Earth Immortal roared furiously, his killing intent overwhelming.
*Clang, clang...*
The golden longsword in his hand slashed towards Ye Yunfei, slicing through the space wherever it passed, the cut surfaces as smooth as tofu.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei's Formless Heart Sword and Soul Swords directly invaded this Earth Immortal's soul sea, causing his movements to slow down for a split second. Ye Yunfei took advantage to retreat.
But eight Earth Immortal experts attacked simultaneously from the rear, all blasting towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei swept his hand, sending out sword lights that slashed towards the Earth Immortals respectively. At the same time, he waved his other hand, bringing out eight Earth Immortal magic treasures that all blasted towards those eight Earth Immortals. Then he executed the Time-Space Illusion Technique, instantly appearing in another location.
Bang!
Before Ye Yunfei could steady himself, five Earth Immortal experts attacked, four of whom were Advanced Earth Immortals.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei was struck by one of the Advanced Earth Immortals, his body sent flying sideways. This time, a small half of Ye Yunfei's body was blown apart; directly, one-third of his fleshly body vanished, with flesh, blood, and bone fragments flying everywhere.
"Everyone, don't stop! This brat can't hold on much longer, he's about to be beaten to death by us!"
An Earth Immortal from the Qiantang Empire roared loudly and pounced towards Ye Yunfei.
Right at that moment.
Ye Yunfei suddenly smiled.
"Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, help me go invisible immediately! We're preparing to break out!"
Ye Yunfei sent a mental message to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Oh? You've found a way to break out?"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm asked, startled.
"Yes, just do as I say!"
Ye Yunfei said.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm together used various invisibility secret arts to completely conceal Ye Yunfei's body, directly melting into the space within the city.
Those Earth Immortal experts suddenly couldn't sense Ye Yunfei's aura anymore and were greatly alarmed.
"Don't worry, everyone! The eighteen Net of Heaven and Earth Formations are still up! At most, Ye Yunfei has just turned invisible somewhere within the city's space. He absolutely cannot escape! Find him!"
A Dark Faction Earth Immortal shouted.
"Haha... Who says I can't escape? Haven't I just come out? Wait for me, I will definitely come back to settle accounts with you all!"
Outside the city, Ye Yunfei suddenly appeared and sneered.
"Impossible! That must be Ye Yunfei's clone!"
That Dark Faction Earth Immortal absolutely refused to believe it, roaring in disbelief.
"That... seems to be the main body of that Ye Yunfei brat, not like a clone."
"Indeed, his aura is exactly the same as his main body's. It should be the main body."
All the Earth Immortal experts inside the city, shocked, immediately used their Soul Power to sense. As a result, they discovered that the Ye Yunfei who appeared outside the city now seemed to indeed be the main body.
"Let's chase after him quickly! Otherwise, he'll get away!"
All the Earth Immortals inside the city were frantic.
"Quick, open the formation! Let us out to chase after that brat!"
An Earth Immortal from the Qiantang Empire looked at the Dark Faction Earth Immortals and urged.
"Alright!"
One of the Dark Faction Earth Immortals nodded. With a wave of his hand, he caused the eighteen Net of Heaven and Earth Formations to tremble simultaneously, gradually dimming.
Seeing this, the other Earth Immortal experts all prepared to rush out to deal with Ye Yunfei.
"We've already severely injured that brat! He won't get away!"
One Earth Immortal expert shouted fiercely.
"It's time now!"
Outside the city, watching the eighteen Net of Heaven and Earth Formations gradually dimming, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sneer coldly.
"Not good! The one outside the city isn't Ye Yunfei's main body! Ye Yunfei's main body is still inside the city! I can sense his aura! Don't shut down the eighteen formations!"
Right at this moment, a Dark Faction Earth Immortal screamed in panic.
The other Earth Immortal experts also looked in that direction and indeed sensed Ye Yunfei's aura there, their faces instantly paling.
"How can that be? The Ye Yunfei outside the city is clearly also his main body!"
An Earth Immortal expert cried out, puzzled and confused.
*Rumble rumble...*
At that moment, beneath the city, the entire ground began shaking wildly. Boundless Earth Qi Energy, like massive black oceans, continuously poured into the city. Tens of thousands of Earth Dragons also drilled into the city.
Boom!
The ground beneath the city suddenly collapsed, revealing a gigantic pit. The entire city instantly fell into this colossal pit, dropping into the subterranean world below.
The Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts knew things were very bad and desperately urged the eighteen Net of Heaven and Earth Formations, wanting to protect the city.
But these Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts were shocked to find that under the impact of Earth Qi Energy as vast as the sea, and under the charge of thousands upon thousands of Earth Dragons, the eighteen Net of Heaven and Earth Formations actually began to disintegrate.
"These eighteen Dark Faction formations were too powerful. If I hadn't seized the moment when their power weakened to break them, I'm afraid it would have been extremely difficult to crack them."
Ye Yunfei looked at the eighteen formations he had already broken and sighed inwardly.
"Haha... Welcome to my territory!"
Ye Yunfei laughed loudly. The eighteen Net of Heaven and Earth Formations were already broken, and the entire city had fallen deep underground. Now it was within Ye Yunfei's territory.
"You had this trick all along! Why didn't you use it earlier! Unnecessarily taking a beating, was that comfortable?"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, both delighted and exasperated by the sudden turn of events, said to Ye Yunfei.
"I've also been studying those eighteen Dark Faction formations all this time. I just barely managed to think of this method of breaking them."
Ye Yunfei replied.
"Master, I didn't expect you secretly left a Doppelganger Statue outside before entering the city! Those Dark Faction guys thought your main body had already left, so they shut down the eighteen formations inside the city. Then Master took the opportunity to use Geomancy Technique to break the formations! So brilliant!"
Hu Miao shouted out in praise.
"Indeed, exactly so."
Ye Yunfei chuckled.
"Not good!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei's expression, all the Earth Immortal experts knew things had taken a turn for the worse.
"Attack! Ye Yunfei is already severely injured! Whatever tricks he's playing are useless! Let's join forces and kill him!"
A Dark Faction Earth Immortal expert roared and charged at Ye Yunfei to kill him.
"Right! Everyone, keep attacking! Kill this little bastard!"
Two Earth Immortal experts from the Qiantang Empire charged to surround Ye Yunfei from another direction. Following them, the other Earth Immortal experts also charged from different directions. This was an underground world, but the surrounding mud, stones, and dirt seemed non-existent to them.
"Heh heh... Now that you've come to my territory, I won't allow your impudence!"
Ye Yunfei sneered coldly. This patch of land beneath the city had been controlled by Ye Yunfei using the Compass Earth Commanding Art!
*Rumble rumble...*
Ye Yunfei formed a hand seal and pointed a finger. Mighty torrents of Earth Qi Energy, like vast black oceans, surged from all directions towards those Earth Immortal experts. Countless Earth Dragons densely intertwined, instantly forming several dozen earth formations that moved towards the Earth Immortals, immediately trapping five or six Earth Immortal experts.
At the same time, large amounts of mud, stones, and dirt pressed in on these Earth Immortal experts from all directions.
In short, within this subterranean world, almost everything at this moment was attacking those Earth Immortal experts.
Whoosh!
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei's body directly disappeared, merging with the surrounding black Earth Qi. This was a very advanced movement technique within the Geomancy Technique called 'Qi Fusion Art'! It allowed one to fuse one's body with Earth Qi underground, becoming part of the Earth Qi, making it impossible for enemies to find.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei's body, fused with the Earth Qi, directly flowed away from his original position.
"Huh? Where is that brat? I can't sense him!"
The Earth Immortal experts, currently resisting the Earth Qi, Earth Dragons, and surrounding earthen matter, suddenly realized Ye Yunfei had vanished. They were all enraged.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei appeared behind an Intermediate Earth Immortal.
"I haven't killed an Intermediate Earth Immortal before."
Ye Yunfei looked at the Intermediate Earth Immortal before him and sneered.
At the same moment.
Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu brought the members of the Light Faction to the space above the city, but all they saw was a massive, bottomless pit. That city was gone.
"There was originally a city here, but now it has fallen to the bottom of this abyss!"
Chan Master Tianwu pointed at the dark, pitch-black pit below and said.
