“What's going on? Another person has broken into my abode, and their appearance and soul body aura are identical to this kid before my eyes! It must be this kid's doppelganger. So he's here to rescue someone!”
At this moment, the Five Immortals Poison King finally realized something was amiss.
“Wait, no. The energy aura of the kid inside the mountain is exactly the same as this kid's energy aura. It doesn't seem like a doppelganger... Both seem to be the real body. What's happening?”
The Five Immortals Poison King's Soul Power was exceptionally potent. He clearly sensed the situation inside the great mountain, causing his expression to change slightly.
“Kid, don't even think about rescuing anyone from my grasp!”
Subsequently, the Five Immortals Poison King flew into a rage. He saw that Ye Yunfei inside the mountain was locked in a fierce battle against the poisonous spiders, attempting a rescue.
Whoosh...
Accompanied by the Poison King's furious roar, even more poisonous spiders emerged from within the mountain, surging towards Ye Yunfei like tidal waves. Simultaneously, they cast out vast clouds of spider silk, weaving into sheet after sheet of webs in an attempt to ensnare Ye Yunfei.
Of course, this wasn't Ye Yunfei's real body but a Doppelganger Statue.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Doppelganger Statue employed the Time-Space Vanishing Technique, constantly shifting its position to evade those spider webs.
“Humph! You creatures, listen to my command!”
Just then, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm roared, releasing bursts of strange sonic waves that rushed into the interior of the mountain.
To Ye Yunfei's delight, the spiders inside the mountain sensed these strange sonic waves and immediately halted their movements, as if struck by a paralysis technique, remaining perfectly still.
“Damn it! You've taken control of so many of my Gu Insects!”
The Five Immortals Poison King was enraged. His figure blurred as he charged towards the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
“My underlings, attack him!”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm shouted.
Whoosh...
Immediately, waves of poisonous insects surged towards the Five Immortals Poison King like a tide, launching an assault.
Although these insects exploded one after another, crushed by the Poison King's terrifying energy pressure before they could even reach him, their sheer numbers were staggering. Even if they didn't fight back and simply let the Poison King slaughter them, it would likely take an immense amount of time to finish them all.
“Roar...”
Seeing these poisonous insects endlessly surging towards him, the Five Immortals Poison King was simply livid, roaring in fury.
After all, these poisonous insects were something he had painstakingly collected over a vast amount of time and effort before carefully cultivating them into Gu Insects. They could be considered one of his greatest trump cards. Never did he imagine that the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm would seize control of them and turn them against him! This feeling was unbearably frustrating.
Roar! Roar...
In his fury, the Five Immortals Poison King released streams of black runes from his body. These runes reeked of a vile stench, radiating sky-high killing intent. Wherever they passed, they corroded the very space, causing it to fester and crumble.
Roar!
Affected by the Poison King's outburst, the dozens of crocodiles also grew restless. Dense plumes of black smoke erupted from their bodies, instantly causing Ye Yunfei to feel slightly dizzy.
Once these crocodiles entered this enraged state, their combat power seemed to have increased, becoming immensely powerful, impervious to weapons, their energy auras enough to shatter the heavens.
“Be careful! This is Gu Poison. If living beings inhale too much of this poison, their consciousness will gradually fall under his control, becoming his obedient slaves!”
Huang Shang suddenly appeared beside Ye Yunfei, speaking with a grave expression.
Earlier, Huang Shang had followed the Doppelganger Statue into the interior of the mountain ahead to assist in the rescue. Now, seeing the Five Immortals Poison King begin unleashing Gu Poison, he immediately returned. For a Ghost Cultivator, such poison was also a valuable cultivation resource!
“Is it that potent?”
Ye Yunfei was somewhat startled upon hearing Huang Shang's words.
“Let me handle this Gu Poison. If I can absorb it, it'll be very beneficial for me.”
Huang Shang declared.
“Alright. I'll use Formations and ground arrays to deal with him. You absorb the Gu Poison.”
Ye Yunfei nodded in agreement.
“Kid, perish!”
The Five Immortals Poison King roared in fury. He thrust out a palm, reaching for Ye Yunfei. Wreathed around this palm was dense Gu Poison, smoky and sizzling, corroding the space as it extended.
Boom!
Simultaneously, his other hand shot rapidly towards the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, expanding continuously until it seemed like an all-enveloping sack of heaven, pulsing with the profound principles of a supremely skilled palm technique, aiming to forcibly drag the Silkworm into the center of his palm.
There was no denying that this Five Immortals Poison King possessed fearsome combat power. Ye Yunfei estimated secretly that if he were fighting alone, without the aid of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Huang Shang, and without having prepared this trap beforehand, he would definitely not be a match for this Poison King.
Without a doubt, this Five Immortals Poison King was the most powerful Perfected Earth Immortal Ye Yunfei had encountered so far!
Even after laying a trap, employing Formations, and receiving the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's assistance, Ye Yunfei still couldn't gain the upper hand against him after fighting for so long!
Boom! Boom...
Ye Yunfei stamped his foot, summoning hundreds of red fire dragons that manifested simultaneously, positioning themselves before both himself and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, intercepting the Poison King's two palms.
Bang! Bang...
The hundreds of red fire dragons were sent flying, exploding one after another.
Boom! Boom!
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, instantly deploying over a hundred formations. They rumbled through the air as they smashed towards the Five Immortals Poison King.
At the same time.
Inside the same great mountain.
The Doppelganger Statue had already rushed to Di Ming's side. It drew an Earth Immortal-grade longsword, severing the spider silk that bound Di Ming's body, and then lifted Di Ming down.
“Elder Di, I've finally found you.”
Ye Yunfei said to Di Ming.
“Young man, who are you?”
Di Ming felt dazed, somewhat confused about the situation. He didn't understand why this young man before him had come to rescue him, and how he knew his identity.
For Di Ming, this place was a terrifying forbidden ground, where a Poison King lived in seclusion, capturing and imprisoning large numbers of living beings as cultivation resources.
Under normal circumstances, let alone a junior like this young man, even a Perfected Earth Immortal would find it difficult to escape unscathed after venturing here. The Poison King living here was none other than the infamous Five Immortals Poison King, a prominent figure from the ancient times of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!
Therefore, the possibility of someone coming here to rescue him was something Di Ming had never dared to imagine. He had assumed he would surely die here.
“Elder Di, my name is Ye Yunfei.”
Ye Yunfei stated.
“Ye Yunfei... Could it be? Are you the rising talent of our Light Faction, Ye Yunfei?”
Di Ming was stunned momentarily, then suddenly came to a realization and blurted out.
“Yes, I am Ye Yunfei.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“So, you are Ye Yunfei!”
Instantly, Di Ming understood why Ye Yunfei had come to rescue him.
“Elder Di, this is no place to linger. Let's leave first, then we can talk.”
Ye Yunfei urged.
Outside, Ye Yunfei's real body, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Huang Shang were all engaged in a fierce battle with the Five Immortals Poison King. The outcome remained uncertain, and no one knew if the Poison King still possessed any formidable trump cards. After all, this was his territory. Therefore, Ye Yunfei had no intention of staying here long.
“Wait! There are five great mountains here. As far as I know, the interior of each mountain holds many captured members of our Light Faction. If we can rescue them, it will greatly strengthen our Light Faction's power.”
Di Ming suddenly interjected.
“Oh, is that so...”
Upon hearing Di Ming's words, Ye Yunfei hesitated slightly.
