"Everyone, come out and take action! Let's kill as many of the Dark Faction as possible!" Ye Yunfei sent voice transmissions to Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hu Miao.
Rumble...
As he spoke, Lin Fei took out a large handful of formation flags and tossed them out continuously, instantly setting up several dozen Formations that descended upon the Dark Faction troops, trapping a large group of them at once.
Many Earth Immortal experts were also caught within the Formations, roaring furiously as they desperately attempted to break the arrays.
Having encountered the Ten Thousand Laws Vine in the Colorless Abyss and repaired several ancient Formations and seals under its guidance, obtaining a part of the ancient formation inheritance, Ye Yunfei's current mastery of Formations was far superior to before. The Formations he now laid possessed formidable power.
"Kill!"
Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hu Miao, having long been eager, charged out and rushed toward the Dark Faction forces.
Like a boundless ocean, swarms of poisons and venomous creatures followed Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm as they surged toward the Dark Faction, releasing vast clouds of poisonous smoke and miasma that instantly filled this stretch of space.
Huang Shang, furthermore, utilized his poison arts, releasing copious amounts of deadly toxins that silently spread throughout the area. Of course, Huang Shang controlled them carefully, ensuring these lethal poisons had no effect on the allies.
It had been some time since Huang Shang obtained the poison arts of the Five Immortals Poison King. Spending most of his time studying and cultivating within the Phantom Tower, while his poison skill level might temporarily not match the Poison King's, he had absolutely become a master of poisons!
"Ah... I think I'm poisoned, I feel awful!"
"I'm poisoned too, my whole body feels weak and limp!"
...
Soon, many members of the Dark Faction began to suffer from poisoning, their bodies racked with pain and weakness, crying out in shock.
"Old Huang, your poison arts have become quite formidable!" Seeing this, Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Boom... Boom...
Ye Yunfei once again threw out a large batch of formation flags, trapping even more of the Dark Faction within Formations.
By now, almost half of the Dark Faction forces were encircled by Ye Yunfei's Formations.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei released his Blood Clan Clone, unleashing overwhelming blood mist that directly enveloped the surrounding space, transforming it into a crimson sea.
Then, a blood-colored longsword appeared in the Blood Clan Clone's hand, gleaming with an eerie luster. It charged up to an Advanced Earth Immortal of the Dark Faction and slashed.
"A Blood Clan!"
Sensing the energy pressure emanating from the Blood Clan Clone, this Advanced Earth Immortal of the Dark Faction paled in fright, rapidly retreating while simultaneously attacking to block.
Clang!
After a deafening metallic clash, all of the Dark Faction Advanced Earth Immortal's defensive measures were actually shattered by a single slash from the Blood Clan Clone.
"Our Dark Faction has never had any grudge with your Blood Clan! Why are you attacking me!" the Advanced Earth Immortal roared furiously.
But the only reply was a series of wild, blood-colored sword lights. Within just a few moves, he was forced into a disadvantageous position, appearing utterly wretched.
The Blood Clan Clone had devoured the essence and blood of countless Advanced Earth Immortals, even that of Perfected Earth Immortals. Fighting against a single Advanced Earth Immortal was not difficult.
With Ye Yunfei, Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and the Blood Clan Clone joining the fray, the Dark Faction forces began to fall into disarray, being forced to retreat repeatedly under the onslaught.
Although this group of Dark Faction forces had over twenty Earth Immortal experts, Huang Shang commanded roughly thirty-odd venomous crocodiles — equivalent to over thirty Earth Immortal experts. Combined with the terrifying numbers of poisons and venomous creatures, plus an expert like Ye Yunfei, these Dark Faction forces were simply no match!
In short, with Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm present, they feared not the enemy's numbers!
"Let's move too!"
Elder Zhuo of the 35th Battalion bellowed, leading his battalion's troops to charge forward, following behind Ye Yunfei to join the killing.
"Kill!"
Seeing this, Commander Lü's blood also boiled with fervor. With a loud shout, he led the 36th Battalion's troops forward into the fray.
The members of the 35th and 36th Battalions had long witnessed Ye Yunfei's terrifying strength, so they weren't overly shocked by the current battlefield situation.
The 30th Battalion, however, was different.
"This..."
Leader Ba stared at Ye Yunfei, Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and the boundless ocean of poisons and venomous creatures, then at the Dark Faction forces who were being utterly defeated and forced to retreat in moments. For a moment, he was dumbstruck.
It must be noted, prior to this, all four of the 30th Battalion's bases had been destroyed by this very group of Dark Faction forces. He had been leading the remnants of the 30th Battalion, fleeing everywhere in retreat from their pursuit. That alone spoke volumes about the overall strength of these Dark Faction troops!
Yet now they were being soundly defeated in moments!
"Commander Lü, you still haven't told me who this young man is!"
Leader Ba suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing that this young man before him was absolutely no ordinary figure.
"He is the leader of the 35th Battalion, Ye Yunfei!" Commander Lü replied to Leader Ba as he charged towards the Dark Faction forces.
"So he is the Ye Yunfei of the 35th Battalion! Seeing him in person surpasses his reputation!"
Leader Ba suddenly understood. Some time ago, Ye Yunfei led the 35th Battalion to wipe out a batch of Dark Faction nests in one go, causing a sensation among the various battalions of the Light Faction and making his name famous.
"Leader Ba, what are you waiting for? Join the fight! Senior Chu has ordered that from now on, all our battalion's forces should follow Leader Ye, unite together, and fight the Dark Faction side by side!" Commander Lü shouted to Leader Ba.
"Good! Having Leader Ye lead us, the 36th Battalion, is indeed an excellent choice!"
After thinking for a moment, Leader Ba spoke.
"Kill!"
The next moment, Leader Ba waved his hand, leading the 30th Battalion's troops to charge forward and join the battle.
Three of the 30th Battalion's bases were destroyed, with large numbers of members killed or injured. Now facing these Dark Faction members again, enemies encountering each other with eyes blazing red with hatred, every member of the 30th Battalion roared as they charged forward, venting the fury in their hearts.
The strongest among this batch of Dark Faction forces were the five Advanced Earth Immortals. Moments later, all were slain by Ye Yunfei and the Blood Clan Clone, as Ye Yunfei specifically targeted the enemy's Advanced Earth Immortals.
After killing these five Advanced Earth Immortals, the remaining Dark Faction forces weren't worth mentioning.
"Withdraw! Everyone, retreat!"
Soon, the remaining Earth Immortal experts of the Dark Faction realized that continuing like this would lead to their complete annihilation. They began shouting one after another.
"Wanting to escape now? Too late."
Ye Yunfei sneered, deploying the Time-Space Annihilation Art, continuously tossing out one formation flag after another, setting up even more Formations to trap the fleeing Dark Faction forces.
As for those Dark Faction members previously trapped in Formations, it was simply impossible for them to break Ye Yunfei's arrays; even wanting to flee was out of the question.
Moments later, this entire group of Dark Faction forces was completely wiped out!
"This kind of battle is extremely beneficial for me! I had too few opportunities to participate in real combat for training in the past, spending most of my time in closed-door cultivation. Starting now, I need to increase this type of practical experience," Huang Shang said to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes. Actual combat and experience are most beneficial for growth," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Not enough to kill, simply not enough to kill! Let's hurry and find more of the Dark Faction to slaughter!"
At this moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, surrounded by a swarm of venomous creatures like a triumphant general, swaggered over, seemingly unsatisfied, shouting loudly.
"Don't worry. There will be plenty more battles like this coming up," Ye Yunfei said.
"Brothers of the 30th Battalion who have fallen, your vengeance has been avenged!"
After the battle ended, Leader Ba stood within the chaotic void, facing the direction of the 35th Battalion's four bases, shouting loudly, his eyes rimmed red.
The other members of the 30th Battalion were all emotionally stirred, some weeping loudly, others laughing hysterically.
Not long ago, all four of the 30th Battalion's bases were successively attacked by the Dark Faction, with almost half of their members killed—the casualties were extremely heavy.
Now that this batch of Dark Faction forces had been completely annihilated, the 30th Battalion's great vengeance was repaid. This left these remnants of the 30th Battalion feeling both comforted and sorrowful, their emotions complex.
"War is too cruel," Hun Lao, watching the weeping and laughing members of the 30th Battalion, spoke.
"Yes. War is always cruel," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Leader Ye, from now on, the members of our 30th Battalion will follow you and obey your commands!"
Leader Ba suddenly turned and arrived before Ye Yunfei, saying clearly.
"Good. From now on, let us stand together and strive to kill even more of the Dark Faction!" Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Report! The 26th Battalion is in dire straits!"
From the distant chaotic void, a middle-aged man came rushing hastily.
"Everyone, prepare for battle once more!" Ye Yunfei said in a low voice.
"Prepare for battle!"
The members of the three battalions, hearing Ye Yunfei's words, roared in unison, the mighty sound waves sweeping across the sky.
As they looked at Ye Yunfei standing before them, each and every member of the three battalions was filled with fighting spirit!
