"Ye Yunfei is right below, being besieged! Let's go down!"
Old Man Chu's perception was incredibly powerful. By now, he had already clearly sensed the situation within the subterranean world beneath them and spoke decisively.
Whoosh!
Old Man Chu's figure flashed as he charged downwards into the earth.
"Down we go! Time for battle! Let those Dark Faction bastards know the people of our Light Faction aren't to be trifled with!" Chan Master Tianwu roared, following close behind.
In fact, ever since entering this world, Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu had already fought several battles against Dark Faction forces, slaying large numbers of their members.
This world was a Dark Faction stronghold, garrisoned by a substantial force. Naturally, those Dark Faction troops wouldn't let members of the Light Faction pass through easily upon discovery. So after Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu led their Light Faction forces into this world, they had essentially fought their way here.
At this moment, deep within the underground world, Ye Yunfei, riding on streams of earth energy, suddenly appeared behind an Intermediate Earth Immortal and launched an attack swift as thunder and lightning.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei struck with his left fist, his power amplified by a staggering seven million flood dragon's worth of physical strength. The mud, stones, sand, and soil ahead parted violently under the force. The terrifying punch made the Intermediate Earth Immortal's face drastically change color.
Simultaneously with the punch, Ye Yunfei also unleashed sword techniques, Soul Swords, Formless Heart Swords, and various other secret arts to assist the attack.
Under this storm-like assault from Ye Yunfei, that Intermediate Earth Immortal began to panic slightly.
"The kid's here! Everyone, get over here!"
The Intermediate Earth Immortal bellowed, immediately notifying the other Earth Immortal experts.
Hearing this, the other Earth Immortal experts all turned and rushed towards his position.
"Ye Yunfei, you're seeking death!"
A golden Buddha statue erupted from this Earth Immortal expert's body, constantly enlarging to float above the Intermediate Earth Immortal's head. It radiated waves of brilliant Buddhist light, enveloping and protecting his physical form.
Then, gripping a monk's staff with both hands, this Intermediate Earth Immortal swept it horizontally towards Ye Yunfei.
This was an Intermediate Earth Immortal from the Western Church!
Most of the techniques and martial arts practiced by the Western Church were related to Buddhist disciplines.
However, before this Intermediate Earth Immortal's attack could even get close to Ye Yunfei, it was blocked by vast amounts of earth energy and numerous Earth Dragons, triggering a series of violent energy explosions.
This patch of earth was already under Ye Yunfei's control; all earth energy and Earth Dragons obeyed his commands.
Immediately afterwards, a combined assault from Ye Yunfei, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm whistled towards this Intermediate Earth Immortal.
"Everyone, come help me!"
Sensing the terrifying mix of incoming attacks, the Intermediate Earth Immortal was so frightened he immediately turned to flee, no longer daring to fight.
"Time to test the Three-Corpse God-Slaying Needles. I haven't used them once since refining them," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
In a great battle within Samsara Palace last time, Ye Yunfei had been ambushed by the Three-Corpse God-Slaying Needles. Fortunately, his tough Soul Swords managed to block the three needles, allowing him to escape disaster and subsequently subdue them.
Szz! Szz! Szz!
At a thought from Ye Yunfei, three pitch-black God-Slaying Needles silently shot out and immediately turned invisible.
At this moment, the Soul Swords and Formless Heart Swords Ye Yunfei had deployed had already invaded that Intermediate Earth Immortal's Soul Sea and were jointly assaulting his Soul Body.
Shocked and enraged, the Intermediate Earth Immortal activated three Earth Immortal-level Soul Power defense artifacts within his Soul Sea to resist.
Szz! Szz! Szz!
Three black needles suddenly appeared within his Soul Sea, transforming into three barely perceptible black dots that instantly arrived before his Soul Body and struck it.
"Ahhh...!"
The Intermediate Earth Immortal let out a wretched scream, blood flowing simultaneously from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
"Now die!"
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Yunfei took a single step to arrive beside the Intermediate Earth Immortal. One punch sent the golden Buddha statue above his head flying, followed by another punch that connected with his body.
Clang! Clang!...
Simultaneously, several other sharp sword beams slashed down onto the Intermediate Earth Immortal's form.
With a loud bang, the Intermediate Earth Immortal's body exploded, torn to pieces.
Although this Intermediate Earth Immortal's physical body was extremely tough, Ye Yunfei's possession of seven million flood dragons' worth of physical power was simply too terrifying!
Added to that, Ye Yunfei had already cultivated the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One Great Art to the level of forty thousand swords returning to one. The combined forces directly blew this Intermediate Earth Immortal apart.
This was Ye Yunfei, relying on his own strength, blasting apart an Intermediate Earth Immortal.
The moment he blasted apart this Intermediate Earth Immortal, Ye Yunfei's mental perception underwent a subtle, instantaneous change, seeming to ascend to a higher level.
Now, Ye Yunfei truly possessed the strength to battle Intermediate Earth Immortals!
His Blood Clan Clone immediately appeared, employing Blood Controlling Great Art to directly harvest this Intermediate Earth Immortal's bloodline essence, giving him no chance to reconstitute his physical body.
"Ahhh... Brat, you just wait! I will have my revenge!"
The Intermediate Earth Immortal's Soul Body issued a venomous shriek as it fled into the distance.
Szz! Szz! Szz!
The three black needles flashed once and vanished, striking the Intermediate Earth Immortal's Soul Body.
"The Three-Corpse God-Slaying Needles are truly first-rate for ambushes!" Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
The power displayed by the Three-Corpse God-Slaying Needles differed depending on the user. Ye Yunfei's Soul Power level was far superior to Dragon Granny of Samsara Palace's, so the needles' potency in his hands was naturally much greater.
"Ahhh...!"
Struck once more by the Three-Corpse God-Slaying Needles, the Intermediate Earth Immortal cried out in agony.
"This one belongs to me!"
Huang Shang transformed into a ghostly shadow, faint and elusive, and charged forward.
Ye Yunfei was faster than Huang Shang. In an instant, he closed in behind the fleeing Soul Body of the Intermediate Earth Immortal and threw a punch.
The Soul Body of this Intermediate Earth Immortal was already severely wounded; how could it withstand simultaneous attacks from Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang? In less than three exchanges, it was directly shattered, ending its existence for good.
Huang Shang employed ghost cultivation techniques, gathering all the Soul Body fragments left behind by the Intermediate Earth Immortal to refine and absorb them.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
By now, the other Earth Immortal experts had all rushed over, unleashing wave after wave of ferocious attacks that whistled towards Ye Yunfei.
With a point of his finger, Ye Yunfei commanded endless earth energy, dense swarms of Earth Dragons, and numerous powerful earth Formations to surge forth in a grand tide, besieging those Earth Immortal experts.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei once again employed the Vaporization Art from his Geomancy, directly merging with the earth energy and instantly appearing far away, completely evading all the attacks.
"Ye Yunfei!"
Right at that moment, Ye Yunfei heard a familiar shout.
"The two Seniors have brought the Light Faction forces here!"
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power detected Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Once he had entered the underground realm, Ye Yunfei wasn't really afraid of those Earth Immortal experts anymore. Now, with so many reinforcements suddenly arriving, his confidence soared even higher!
"Two Seniors, let's save the talk for later. First, let's join forces and kill these enemies!"
Ye Yunfei immediately sent a sound transmission to Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu.
"Did you just kill an Intermediate Earth Immortal from the Western Church?" Chan Master Tianwu asked.
Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu had just arrived when Ye Yunfei slew that Intermediate Earth Immortal, and they had happened to witness it.
"Yes," Ye Yunfei nodded in reply.
"Hahaha… Well done!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's affirmative answer, Chan Master Tianwu burst into hearty, unrestrained laughter.
"Very impressive," Old Man Chu also nodded in praise.
They were the ones who had first noticed Ye Yunfei, secretly nurtured him, and brought him into the Light Faction. Now, seeing Ye Yunfei possessing such formidable strength naturally filled them with great joy.
Moreover, they had hurried here specifically to rescue Ye Yunfei. Finding him completely unscathed and having instead slain a powerful enemy allowed them both to breathe a sigh of relief.
Previously trapped within that city, although Ye Yunfei had been wounded by the combined attacks of those Earth Immortal experts, his physical body's quality was simply too exceptional. It had fully recovered within a short period, and he was perfectly fine now.
