The sudden emergence of such a large force from Ye Yunfei left everyone completely stunned.
Especially the armies of venomous creatures and poisonous bugs under Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. Their numbers were terrifyingly vast, swarming in from all directions like oceans of various colors.
The swarms of mosquitoes, flies, beetles, winged ants, dragonflies, and other tiny creatures under the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm clustered together densely. They could attack a Dark Faction member in tens of thousands at a single command, instantly drowning and gnawing them down to a skeleton in a horrifying display.
"Charge!"
Encircled by over a hundred black insects, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm waved its hand, commanding a swarm of poisonous bugs to charge towards the surrounding Earth Immortal experts.
Ye Yunfei recognized them as Black Realm Insects. Their bite force was astonishing, and they possessed spatial divine abilities, capable of gnawing through spatial barriers and all kinds of Formations. Once tamed by the Venomous King of Five, even Ye Yunfei had found them troublesome to deal with. Now, they were all under the control of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"My three Gu Children need to be let out for a run too."
Huang Shang let out a chilling laugh before waving his hand. Amidst a soaring sea of ghostly mist, three pitch-black children materialized. Their small bodies were covered in sinister runes, their eyes blood-red, emanating a bizarre aura.
These were the Gu Children that the Venomous King of Five had spent immense time and effort refining!
The Venomous King of Five had five Gu Children back then. Even before a proper battle commenced, they had forced Ye Yunfei to flee in disarray, a testament to their terrifying power.
"Huang Lao, have you already gained control over these three Gu Children?"
Ye Yunfei asked in surprise and delight through a voice transmission.
"Preliminary control, yes. Although I can't make them display their full combat strength yet, I can already control them and have them participate in battles."
Huang Shang replied with a smile.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As Huang Shang spoke, he commanded the three Gu Children to teleport, surrounding a Mid-Level Earth Immortal of the Dark Faction. Before the Earth Immortal could react, the three Gu Children rushed him, tearing him to shreds on the spot.
"Excellent. Their combat prowess is terrifying. You've gained three formidable new subordinates."
Ye Yunfei clicked his tongue in admiration.
"You don't need to touch these guys trying to surround me. Leave them to me!"
Ye Yunfei pointed at the thirty-odd Advanced Earth Immortals of the Dark Faction.
By this time, a massive number of venomous creatures and poisonous bugs were already besieging those thirty-plus Advanced Dark Faction Earth Immortals.
"Alright."
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, both Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately directed their hordes to bypass those Advanced Earth Immortals and attack other members of the Dark Faction instead.
"Alright, those who want to kill me, come and fight, then."
Ye Yunfei walked step by step towards the thirty-odd Advanced Earth Immortals, his tone indifferent.
Earlier, these Dark Faction Earth Immortals had tried to surround Ye Yunfei but were blocked by the hordes. Now, Ye Yunfei was actively walking towards them.
"Hmph!"
"This kid is too arrogant!"
...
Seeing Ye Yunfei's actions, the thirty-odd Advanced Dark Faction Earth Immortals all wore ugly expressions. A large group of them, Advanced Earth Immortals, were actually being looked down upon by a junior like this.
"Commander Lü! Commander Ba! It's you!"
At this moment, the commanders of the other seven Light Faction Battalions spotted Commander Lü of the 36th Battalion and Commander Ba of the 30th Battalion and became very excited.
"It's us! Battalion Leader Ye has brought us to reinforce you! Join the battle and slay the enemy!"
Commander Lü and Commander Ba replied simultaneously, their fighting spirits burning as they led their respective battalion's forces, charging towards the Dark Faction troops like tigers descending a mountain.
"Is that young man really Ye Yunfei?"
One commander asked curiously.
"Of course! He is Battalion Leader Ye Yunfei. With Battalion Leader Ye personally commanding, we have nothing to fear. Just focus on slaying the enemy!"
"You guys should attack! Stop asking questions! Kill the enemy first!"
Both Commander Lü and Commander Ba were extremely busy, passionately engaged in the slaughter.
Meanwhile, Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, leading the oceans of venomous creatures and poisonous bugs, created massive shockwaves through the Dark Faction ranks. Wherever they passed, Dark Faction members were eliminated in droves.
The Blood Clan Clone gripped a blood-red long blade. Its tall crimson body continuously released vast clouds of blood mist, transforming a large surrounding area into a blood-red sea.
Hoo... Hoo...
The Blood Clan Clone employed the Blood Mastery Technique, causing the blood vessels inside nearby Dark Faction members to continuously swell and burst. Sprays of blood splattered everywhere. Affected by this, these Dark Faction members lost nearly half of their combat power. Swept through by the Blood Clan Clone's crimson blade, they fell in rows like harvested wheat.
Having refined and absorbed far too many Earth Immortals' source blood in the recent past, the Blood Clan Clone now possessed the power to fight even a Peak Earth Immortal, let alone ordinary members of the Dark Faction.
Hu Miao, for her part, transformed into a faint, illusory fox shadow that flitted across the battlefield, constantly unleashing the inherited illusion techniques of the Ancient Celestial Fox Clan. Spell runes—weird and intricate—spread out like schools of deep-sea fish, pulling any nearby Dark Faction member into bizarre, surreal illusionary realms wherever they passed. Following that, nine thick fox tails materialized behind Hu Miao, like nine heaven-pillars, lashing forward and instantly annihilating large swathes of Dark Faction members.
The illusory techniques inherited by the Ancient Celestial Fox Clan were profound and incredibly powerful. Even Advanced Earth Immortals, once trapped within, would find it difficult to break free quickly.
Originally, the Dark Faction army held the upper hand on the battlefield. But now, suddenly struck by such fierce impact, they were forced into continuous retreat.
"Let's join the battle and kill the enemy too!"
Witnessing this scene and inspired by it, the seven Battalion Leaders became fiercely motivated. Roaring simultaneously, they led their respective battalion's forces in a frenzied charge forward.
Having long heard of Ye Yunfei's reputation, and now witnessing firsthand how his arrival immediately began turning the tide of the battle, these Battalion Leaders knew the rumors were true. Their fighting spirits soared!
Previously suppressed by the Dark Faction army and suffering heavy casualties, many members of these seven battalions had watched their comrades-in-arms fall one by one beside them. The hatred born of spilled blood ran deep. Now, they fought like they had been injected with stimulants, charging forward with reckless abandon.
Ye Yunfei glanced at his forces, revealing a satisfied expression. In large-scale battles like this, fighting spirit played a huge role, allowing an army to perform above its level. Conversely, without morale, even a force with superior overall strength might not secure victory.
"Kill!"
"Do not fear! Our Dark Faction army outnumbers theirs! As long as we unite our efforts, victory will be ours! Charge!"
At this moment, alarmed and furious, the Earth Immortals of the Dark Faction began shouting.
Hearing their Earth Immortals' cries, the Dark Faction army seemed to find its backbone and launched a counter-attack.
For a while, the two sides fought fiercely. The combat energy radiating from the battlefield seemed capable of overturning the boundless Chaotic Void into nothingness.
"Damn it!"
The expressions of the thirty-odd Advanced Dark Faction Earth Immortals turned even uglier.
Initially, the Dark Faction held a clear advantage in this fight. Now, due to Ye Yunfei's intervention, the Dark Faction army was instead being forced onto the defensive!
"Everyone, let us combine our strength to slay this Ye Yunfei first. Once Ye Yunfei is dead, the rest will be easy!"
"Moreover, Ye Yunfei is a target personally designated by the Patriarch. Capturing or killing him would be a great merit!"
One of the Advanced Dark Faction Earth Immortals said grimly.
"Good! Kill this punk first!"
The other Advanced Dark Faction Earth Immortals all nodded in agreement.
"Attack!"
The thirty-plus Advanced Dark Faction Earth Immortals roared in unison.
Boom! Boom!
With thirty-plus Advanced Earth Immortals gathering together and releasing their energy auras simultaneously, the spectacle was terrifying. The oppressive might resembled turbulent oceans churning the sky, seemingly ready to sweep away any obstacle.
"Come on."
Instead of retreating, Ye Yunfei took a step forward. Over twenty-five hundred Jiaos of his physical strength erupted like a torrential mountain flood, standing firm against the combined auras of the thirty-odd Advanced Earth Immortals.
Thump... Thump...
Ye Yunfei's right foot suddenly became heavier. Each stomp produced a colossal drumming sound, carrying an indescribable, terrifying rhythm—like echoes of the Great Dao itself. These rhythmical thunderous sounds seemed to reverberate within the hearts of the thirty-odd Advanced Earth Immortals, causing their own heartbeats to contract rhythmically.
"Be careful! This could be some kind of profound footwork martial technique!"
An Advanced Earth Immortal shouted, his voice filled with caution.
