At this moment, the area outside the Xiaotian Realm was densely packed with the forces of the Dark Faction, their rolling killing intent shaking this section of the chaotic void.
Each member of the Dark Faction held a weapon or a magical treasure in hand, glinting coldly and exuding powerful energy auras.
“This time, we must utterly annihilate the 35th Battalion!
Among the thirty-six battalions of the Light Faction, this 35th Battalion’s strength originally ranked near the bottom. But after that brat Ye Yunfei joined some time ago, its overall power surged dramatically, wiping out many of our Dark Faction’s nests. This time, we must uproot them completely—kill every single member of the 35th Battalion. Even if that brat Ye Yunfei returns from the Colorless Abyss, there’d be nothing he could do,” a Dark Faction Earth Immortal expert standing at the entrance to the Xiaotian Realm said coldly, his gaze icy.
This Dark Faction Earth Immortal expert’s aura was vigorous and powerful, surrounded by over a dozen other Earth Immortal experts. Clearly, he was the leader.
“Report! Our forces have already breached this Small World and are currently fighting the Light Faction’s 35th Battalion inside!
Our strength holds the upper hand; the 35th Battalion forces are already in full retreat,” a Dark Faction member rushed out from the Xiaotian Realm and reported loudly to the lead Earth Immortal expert.
“Heh, I thought this Light Faction’s 35th Battalion was something formidable. Turns out it’s this pitifully weak.
Let’s go in.
Leave a portion of our forces to guard the world entrance here. Every single member of the 35th Battalion must be killed—not a single one escapes,” the lead Dark Faction Earth Immortal said coldly, then led a group of men into the Xiaotian Realm.
At this time, inside the Xiaotian Realm, six Light Faction Earth Immortals were leading the 35th Battalion’s forces in a standoff against the Dark Faction’s massive army.
One Advanced Earth Immortal stood at the very front, with five other Earth Immortals gathered behind him.
The Advanced Earth Immortal standing at the forefront was a deputy surnamed Guan. He had been temporarily dispatched by Old Man Chu and Zen Master Tianwu to replace Ye Yunfei.
Following Deputy Guan were the five elders of the 35th Battalion.
At the moment, both Deputy Guan and the five battalion elders looked rather grim.
Because everyone could see the situation the 35th Battalion now faced was extremely dire.
The Dark Faction forces that had stormed into the Xiaotian Realm had at least a dozen Earth Immortal experts!
Their numbers also surpassed those of the 35th Battalion!
“Everyone, we have no chance of winning this battle.
Pass down the order: Have everyone prepare, look for opportunities to escape if possible, and minimize casualties as much as we can!” Deputy Guan sent a Sound Transmission to the five battalion elders.
The five elders all nodded. In their hearts, they understood this was the only possible course of action now.
“If only Commander Ye were here... If Commander Ye were here, no matter how many men or how many Earth Immortal experts came, our 35th Battalion would have nothing to fear.”
The same thought suddenly crossed the minds of the five elders. However, they only kept it to themselves, not daring to voice it, as it would be disrespectful to Deputy Guan.
Although Deputy Guan’s personal strength wasn’t particularly formidable, his character was good, and he had been dispatched by Old Man Chu and Zen Master Tianwu themselves.
The five elders immediately relayed Deputy Guan’s command using Sound Transmission.
“Attack!”
Just then, the lead Dark Faction expert from outside had entered. His eyes swept over the 35th Battalion forces, filled with contempt. With a wave of his hand, he issued a cold command.
“Kill!”
Immediately, over a dozen Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts took the lead in the charge, rushing towards the 35th Battalion like over a dozen erupting volcanoes. The energy they released shook the entire Xiaotian Realm.
Among this dozen-plus Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts, there were actually five Advanced Earth Immortals!
So, the reason was that the 35th Battalion’s fame had skyrocketed in the recent period. Under Ye Yunfei’s leadership, they had wiped out many Dark Faction nests in one go. Because of this, the Dark Faction had specially dispatched so many experts, leading elite forces, to deal with the 35th Battalion this time.
“To think this 35th Battalion would be so pathetic!
Truthfully, there was no need for us to send so many experts. It’s a waste of military resources,” a Dark Faction Earth Immortal expert standing far away and not yet participating sneered as he spoke.
“The main reason is we’ve had too many of our nests destroyed by this 35th Battalion. Even a few Revered Masters have taken note and personally ordered that this 35th Battalion must be annihilated,” another Dark Faction Earth Immortal expert beside him replied.
At this moment, besides the lead Dark Faction Earth Immortal expert, there were at least four or five other Earth Immortal experts standing idly by, watching the show without joining the battle.
Now, the fierce battle had begun. The forces of the two factions collided, then engaged in fierce one-on-one duels.
However, as the difference in strength between the two sides was far too great, after just a brief moment, the Light Faction was already at a disadvantage, forced into continuous retreat.
Deputy Guan and the five elders continuously sent Sound Transmissions, urging all members of the 35th Battalion to seize any opportunity to escape.
Yet in this situation, for members of the 35th Battalion to try and flee this world would be extremely difficult.
Because the Dark Faction still had many experts and forces not participating in the battle, watching intently from the sidelines. Once they spotted any 35th Battalion members trying to escape, they would undoubtedly intercept.
“It seems our 35th Battalion is about to face a great calamity this time!
If things go badly, we might be wiped out!”
Witnessing the course of the battle, the five battalion elders felt a deep sorrow and despair in their hearts.
“To think the 35th Battalion would be destroyed under my watch…” Deputy Guan’s expression was also extremely grim.
Just as the forces of the two major factions were engaged in fierce battle within the Xiaotian Realm, Ye Yunfei returned!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm brought the Phantom Tower directly to the entrance of the Xiaotian Realm, and then Ye Yunfei emerged from within.
Huang Shang and Hu Miao also appeared, standing beside Ye Yunfei, while the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm perched on Ye Yunfei’s shoulder. All of them were seething with killing intent.
“Who are you?!”
A squad of Dark Faction members was currently guarding the Xiaotian Realm’s entrance. Seeing three beings suddenly appear, they were startled and then shouted sternly.
Rumble…
Ye Yunfei did not speak. He simply backhand swiped, activating a bodily divine ability. His palm continuously expanded, instantly blotting out a large swath of space. The physical force it released was terrifying to the extreme, causing the space ahead to buckle and shatter inch by inch.
The destructive power wrought by two thousand five hundred *Jiao* of physical strength was too dreadful. The Dark Faction members tasked with guarding the entrance, suddenly subjected to such terrifying power, could only feel their bodies stiffen, their mouths go dry, their thoughts stall, their minds go blank. They couldn’t move a muscle.
Puff! Puff!...
Ye Yunfei’s giant palm swept across. Wherever it passed, the Dark Faction members popped like black bubbles one after another, exploding instantly.
In less than a breath, every single Dark Faction member stationed at the entrance had been slain—not a single one remained!
Moreover, a series of dark space fissures were left behind. Turbulent torrents of spatial fragments continually spilled forth from these rifts, churning and roaring.
“Used a bit too much force,” Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
“Awesome, master!” Hu Miao cried out.
“Straight out of legends, a prehistoric tyrant dragon!” the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
