"Hahaha…
I've long noticed you Light Faction folks gathering here, sneaking about.
Now that we've discovered you, none of you will escape!"
At this moment, a wild laugh rang out from a short distance ahead.
A contingent of the Dark Faction was in a standoff with a group from the Light Faction. A master of the Dark Faction stood at the forefront of his ranks, and the wild laugh just now had come from him.
"Who can or cannot escape will be known only after we fight.
Do you truly think our Light Faction fears your Dark Faction?"
Elder Xue stood at the front of the Light Faction's formation and spoke coldly.
"Elder Xue, we're surrounded by Dark Faction troops. It seems they came prepared.
Whether it's the number of Earth Immortal masters or the total number of troops, we are at a disadvantage," another Light Faction elder whispered beside him.
"We'll face soldiers with arms and flood with earth. Don't worry. Simply engage them in battle as you will," Elder Xue replied.
"Well said! When have we, the Light Faction, ever been afraid? Let's fight as we will!"
Several other Light Faction masters also spoke up one after another.
"Seems you're quite confident. Since that's the case, let's fight then.
I don't have that much time to waste on you Light Faction types anyway," the leading Dark Faction master sneered.
"Attack!"
With a wave of his hand from the Dark Faction master...
Boom!
The surrounding Dark Faction forces erupted simultaneously, releasing vast waves of dark energy and laws that shook the entire Confusing Space.
In the next instant, a group of Dark Faction masters charged first, rushing to attack the Light Faction forces.
The Light Faction members steeled themselves, each releasing their own energy auras in preparation for a fight to the death.
Right at this moment...
Buzzzzz…
A black cloud of insectoid creatures swept in from the depths of the distant Confusing Space, immense in number like rushing cosmic currents.
There were mosquitoes, moths, flies, beetles, mantises…
The countless insects beating their wings together produced a converging sound that shook the space.
These insectoid creatures all exuded a thick, pungent stench, with plumes of black smoke continuously diffusing from them.
"Be careful! It's poison!" a Dark Faction master yelled.
"Everyone, be careful! These insects all carry potent poison!" a Light Faction elder also shouted.
Boom!
Just then, another terrifyingly large swarm of creatures appeared, surrounding them from all directions.
Spiders, geckos, toads, earthworms, crocodiles, snakes…
A dense, ocean-like mass of various poisonous creatures continuously closed in, all exuding terrifying toxic mists.
"Careful! All these things carry deadly poison!"
The Dark Faction forces grew nervous, and one of their masters cried out loudly.
"These look like the poisons of the Five Immortals Poison King!
But the Five Immortals Poison King has already fallen. Could it be…"
Elder Xue watched the tide of poisonous insects and creatures rolling towards them, but instead of fear, he felt a spark of pleasant surprise.
"Hahaha…
You Dark Faction scum, try experiencing this Silkworm Lord's methods today!"
Suddenly, a hearty laugh rang out. A golden light shot over from afar, and a small golden dragon appeared before the crowd.
It was none other than the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm!
"It really is them! Ye Yunfei and the others have returned! Excellent!"
Seeing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Elder Xue was overjoyed and felt a wave of relief.
"Heh heh heh…
You Dark Faction trash, prepare to die."
A sinister, ghostly cackle suddenly sounded, followed by a jet-black figure shrouded in spectral fog.
Naturally, this was Huang Shang!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had acquired a large batch of the Five Immortals Poison King's poisonous insects, while Huang Shang had obtained the Poison King's Gu Arts, Poison Arts, and a huge collection of poisonous creatures.
Both the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Huang Shang wanted an opportunity to try out their new acquisitions. Now, encountering these Dark Faction forces was the perfect chance. Ye Yunfei, of course, indulged their wishes.
"Go ahead and make your move," Ye Yunfei appeared at this moment as well, saying with a smile.
"Good, let's do it!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, surrounded by a massive swarm of poisonous insects like a general leading a vast army, was extremely pleased with itself. With a wave of its golden claw, it commanded loudly.
Buzzzzz…
The dense swarm of poisonous insects rushed forth, surging towards the Dark Faction forces like crashing tidal waves.
Huang Shang also waved his hand, sending vast, mighty waves of poisonous creatures to attack from all directions, their momentum terrifying.
"Damn it! Where did all these cursed things come from?!"
The faces of the Dark Faction masters all changed dramatically, some looking both furious and flustered.
The next moment, the sky-blotting mass of poisonous creatures and insects clashed with the Dark Faction forces.
Roar!
Suddenly, dozens of crocodiles appeared. Their bodies were enormous, dripping with intensely foul-smelling venom. They pounced through the air, murderous intent rolling off them.
These crocodiles had all been tamed by the Five Immortals Poison King and were now under Huang Shang's control.
Dozens of crocodiles were equivalent to dozens of Earth Immortal masters!
With these dozens of crocodiles, plus the hordes of poisonous creatures and insects, their combat power was terrifying. In mere moments, they forced the Dark Faction forces into constant retreat, putting them at a disadvantage.
All this time, the Light Faction members hadn't even made a move yet. They stood there, a mix of shock and delight on their faces.
"Retreat!
All members, retreat immediately!"
The leading Dark Faction master suddenly roared.
He knew that if this battle continued, the Dark Faction would gain no advantage.
"Attack! Kill all these Dark Faction scum! Don't let a single one escape!"
Elder Xue shouted fiercely.
Kill!
At Elder Xue's command, the Light Faction forces finally surged forward.
Once the Light Faction joined the fray, the Dark Faction forces became even more disorganized and were slaughtered incessantly.
"Time to test my current combat power," Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Boom!
The next instant, Ye Yunfei swung his hand in a slash. A massive Spatial Longsword materialized and swept horizontally towards a nearby group of Dark Faction troops.
Thump! Thump!
Every Dark Faction member struck by the Spatial Longsword instantly exploded.
That single slash had brutally annihilated a whole section of Dark Faction forces!
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei appeared before an Advanced Earth Immortal of the Dark Faction.
"Spatial Prison!"
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
Boom!
An invisible prison cage manifested directly, enveloping the Advanced Earth Immortal's body.
"Such terrifying spatial martial arts!"
That Advanced Earth Immortal felt his body grow heavy, and his face couldn't help but change drastically.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei's fist was already upon him, carrying terrifying physical power.
On the journey back, Ye Yunfei had refined a batch of Earth Immortal-level magic treasures. Not only had his physical quality improved significantly, but his raw physical strength had also increased substantially.
This single punch caused the space ahead to shatter inch by inch, as if it would destroy everything. Its power was fearsome to the extreme.
