The Flying Sky Yin Monkeys were first trapped within the Thirteen Flame Dragon Terrain and now enveloped by over a hundred Formations, making any attempt to break free and escape impossible in a short period.
Now that they were all confined within the boundaries of the Thirteen Flame Dragon Terrain—Ye Yunfei's domain—the thirteen gigantic crimson flame dragons, under Ye Yunfei's command, erupted with overwhelming murderous aura. They weaved back and forth around the monkeys, their released energy pressure suppressing the Flying Sky Yin Monkeys as if they had fallen into quicksand, making their movements difficult.
"Brat! We belong to the Flying Sky Yin Monkey Tribe of the Netherworld! Laying hands on us is tantamount to challenging the Netherworld, and to challenge the Netherworld is to defy the Yellow Springs!
The Light Faction is currently at war with the Dark Faction, having our hands full. Do you really want to make an enemy of the Yellow Springs as well!"
Elder Li Chou first desperately tried to break the Formations, but after a moment he found little effect. Realizing the direness of the situation, he glared furiously at Ye Yunfei and spoke sharply.
"Hahaha…
You've already come to our doorstep to deal with Battalion Commander Ye, and we're not allowed to fight back?
What a joke!"
Elder Chi said, laughing heartily.
Seeing the killing terrain and the Formations Ye Yunfei had set up, the five elders of the 35th Battalion felt certain these measures could handle the Flying Sky Yin Monkeys, their expressions relaxed one by one.
Having followed Ye Yunfei and slain many Earth Immortal experts of the Dark Faction, the current strength of these monkeys, while formidable, wasn't enough to intimidate the 35th Battalion.
"Battalion Commander Ye, attack! Kill them all," Elder Zhuo transmitted his thoughts to Ye Yunfei. "The Flying Sky Yin Monkey Tribe is known for their savage temperament. Since they've set their sights on you, reconciliation is impossible."
"I understand."
Ye Yunfei nodded, then stepped forward into the Formations, arriving in front of the Flying Sky Yin Monkeys. He looked at them with a cold sneer.
"Brat, you'll die!"
Elder Li Chou, still racking his brains for a way to break the Formations trapping him, was overjoyed to see Ye Yunfei suddenly appear before him.
He thought if Ye Yunfei remained outside the Formations, he might not be able to reach him, but now that Ye Yunfei had actually come within striking distance, it was practically asking for death!
A mere True Immortal was weak as an ant to him!
Boom!
Elder Li Chou attacked immediately. He extended a claw wreathed in dark death energy, accompanied by terrifying energy pressure, as he swiped towards Ye Yunfei, instantly shattering a large piece of space.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei unleashed his Formless Heart Sword and a Soul Sword to attack Elder Li Chou's Soul Sea. He also retrieved an Earth Immortal-grade longsword and executed the Myriad Swords Return to One technique. In a flash, he clashed dozens of times with Elder Li Chou.
Both combatants moved at incredible speed, the dozens of exchanges occurring in an instant.
With a bang, Ye Yunfei was sent flying backward, the tiger's mouth of his hand bleeding and his arm going numb. He was secretly startled.
"There's indeed some skill to you!
Let's go again!"
Elder Li Chou was even more shocked internally. After all, his combat prowess was equivalent to that of an Advanced Earth Immortal. Yet now, a junior with merely True Immortal strength had actually fought him head-on for dozens of rounds and remained unharmed, only forced back by the impact.
Moreover, the Formless Heart Sword and Soul Sword techniques used by Ye Yunfei also filled him with great astonishment. Had his reaction not been swift, he might have been hit.
Boom!
Brimming with rage, Elder Li Chou attacked again. His two claws continuously enlarged, radiating overwhelming black light. Every single fingernail extended, sharp beyond compare, shredding the space they passed through into tatters.
"Battalion Commander Ye, be careful!" Elder Zhuo urgently transmitted. "It is said the claws of Flying Sky Yin Monkeys are innately incomparably hard. They can even directly shred Earth Immortal-level magical treasures!"
"Rest assured. This is my domain. No matter how strong he is, it's useless," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile, then stomped his foot, directly activating the Thirteen Flame Dragon Terrain.
Boom!
The thirteen colossal crimson flame dragons charged over from all directions, spewing raging flames from their mouths, their dragon claws rending the heavens. The simultaneous assault of the thirteen red dragons instantly sent Elder Li Chou flying backwards.
"Attack!"
Seeing Elder Li Chou being blasted away, several Earth Immortal-level Flying Sky Yin Monkeys roared with fury, shrieking as they pounced towards Ye Yunfei.
"Kill!"
Having just broken through to Advanced Earth Immortal, Elder Zhuo was itching for a fight to test his new prowess. He directly charged forward, engaging one of the Flying Sky Yin Monkeys.
The other elders of the 35th Battalion also rushed up, each intercepting one Earth Immortal-level Flying Sky Yin Monkey, and a fierce battle erupted.
The remaining Flying Sky Yin Monkeys also let out strange cries and charged forward, their baleful aura flooding the sky.
Compared to the forces of the 35th Battalion, these Flying Sky Yin Monkeys were vastly outnumbered, but each possessed a fierce, brutal temperament and showed no fear at all, as if they were courting death.
Ye Yunfei stomped his foot again, and a sea of crimson flames erupted, sweeping up these Flying Sky Yin Monkeys and sending them tumbling backwards one after another.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, deploying over a hundred Formations which he continuously tossed out, landing around Elder Li Chou. Combined with the earlier Formations and the Thirteen Flame Dragon Terrain, they now encircled him like an iron barrel.
Then, Ye Yunfei temporarily set aside Elder Li Chou, confident that the elder absolutely could not break free in a short time. He turned and walked towards the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe's Holy Son.
"Not bad. After all this time apart, you've actually become an Earth Immortal," Ye Yunfei said directly upon arriving before the Holy Son, sensing his energy aura.
"Protect the Holy Son!"
A group of Flying Sky Yin Monkeys clustered around the Holy Son, each glaring at Ye Yunfei with ferocious, wary eyes.
"Brat, what do you think you're doing!" one Flying Sky Yin Monkey shrieked harshly, thick killing intent radiating from its body. "The Holy Son's status is noble, far beyond what you can afford to offend!"
"Oh, is that so," Ye Yunfei said with a faint smile.
At this moment, the Holy Son stared at Ye Yunfei with a complicated gaze.
He had previously been controlled by Ye Yunfei using the Puppet Soul Threads technique, becoming Ye Yunfei's slave.
After returning to the Netherworld, the Great Elder of his tribe used an ancient inheritance secret art to perform a forced empowerment on him, forcibly pouring the energy of several long-deceased powerful ancestors into his body. This forcefully elevated him to the Earth Immortal realm in a very short time.
With this dramatic surge in strength, he could suppress the controlling Puppet Soul Threads within his Soul Sea. This time, he specifically came to find Ye Yunfei precisely to kill him, to completely eradicate the hidden danger of those Puppet Soul Threads in his Soul Sea.
Because the Puppet Soul Threads technique was an extremely domineering and terrifyingly destructive Soul Power secret art. Once a living being's Soul Body was controlled by Puppet Soul Threads, the threads would directly fuse with the Soul Body, becoming a component of it, impossible to remove. There was only one way to completely eliminate the Puppet Soul Threads—to kill the caster, and the threads would automatically vanish.
