"That battle formation is truly formidable!"
Ye Yunfei watched as the Netherworld Five Elders were driven into a panicked retreat, feeling a mix of shock and delight.
Ye Yunfei could tell that the ten young men might not be a match for the Netherworld Five Elders in single combat. However, the battle formation they formed together was profoundly profound, unleashing astonishing combat power. In just a few moves, they had forced the Netherworld Five Elders to flee and not dare to fight anymore.
"Moreover, the battle formation formed by these ten youths seems to be bolstered by some special energy from this small mountain hamlet, making its power even greater."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"Hehe... Young Master Ye, your vision is sharp, seeing things clearly."
Mr. Liu seemed to know what Ye Yunfei was thinking and said with a smile.
At this moment, at the entrance of the mountain hamlet, after chasing away the Netherworld Five Elders, the ten youths turned around and charged toward the other Golden Immortal experts.
Those Golden Immortal experts had just witnessed with their own eyes the monster formed by the Netherworld Five Elders being defeated by these ten youths in just a few moves, and even suffering severe injuries. How could they dare to engage? They retreated in fear, and a few timid ones turned and fled immediately.
"Damn it! What kind of village is this anyway? It's too terrifying!"
By now, most of the Golden Immortal experts were filled with dread and began to feel afraid.
The Yin Seed might be precious, but if they lost their lives here, it wouldn't be worth it!
At this moment, Dark Ancestor's expression was extremely grim. The Yin Seed he had painstakingly nurtured with so much effort and time had been taken by Ye Yunfei, and Ye Yunfei was now within this small mountain hamlet right before his eyes. To retrieve the Yin Seed, he absolutely had to enter this small hamlet and find Ye Yunfei. But entering this hamlet now was not easy.
"As long as we all attack together, we have a chance to break through! What's there to fear from a mere remote little mountain hamlet!"
Seeing the Golden Immortal experts retreating and some even fleeing, Dark Ancestor angrily shouted.
These Golden Immortal experts had all come to snatch the Yin Seed and were, in a sense, his enemies. However, under the current circumstances, Dark Ancestor knew that only by pooling the strength of these Golden Immortal experts would they have a greater chance of attacking the hamlet.
"Everyone, don't be afraid! Although this battle formation is formidable, as long as we combine our strength and attack together, we have a chance to break it!"
The nun also declared in a loud, clear voice.
"What are you all afraid of? You're all Golden Immortal experts! How can your courage be so small? If we gather together and act as one, we won't have to fear them!"
The burly man gripping the iron hammer also shouted loudly.
These three top experts were still cooperating to deal with that Ancient Cauldron. They knew that only by gathering the strength of these Golden Immortal experts could they possibly invade this small mountain hamlet. If these Golden Immortals all fled, then breaching this hamlet relying on just the few of them would be much more difficult.
"That's right! What's there to be afraid of? If we combine our strength, we can definitely defeat these guys!"
Bolstered by the words of these three top experts, the Golden Immortal experts' confidence surged, and they turned back and gathered together.
"Did not know their place until it was too late! Since you refuse to recognize what's good for you, don't blame our village for starting a slaughter!"
Seeing this scene, the village chief couldn't help but grimace.
"Village Guard Team, listen up! Starting now, you are permitted to slaughter!"
The village chief ordered sternly.
"Village Guard Team receives the order!"
The ten youths all perked up and responded in unison.
Boom boom...
All ten youths raised the long spears in their hands high, aiming at the Golden Immortal experts. Dazzling spear lights erupted from each spear shaft. Countless spear lights interwove, continuously spreading out, as if forming a domain—a world of spears!
The giant long spear above the ten youths trembled slightly, releasing a terrifying pressure of energy.
"Kill!"
The Golden Immortal experts simultaneously charged forward to attack.
Each Golden Immortal expert unleashed their most prized cultivation techniques and martial skills or summoned their most powerful treasures, launching their attacks together.
The ten youths shouted in unison, raising their spears together and thrusting forward.
Boom...
The colossal spear above shot forward fiercely, colliding with the attacks of the Golden Immortal experts.
"Let's attack too. Drive these fellows away quickly, lest they disturb Mr. Liu here!"
The village chief said sternly.
Then the village chief, The Farmer, The Fisherman, a few other villagers, and that Yellow Dog all charged forward together, once again clashing with the Golden Immortal experts.
"Ahh..."
A few moves later, a miserable scream rang out. A Golden Immortal expert was pierced through the torso on the spot by that gigantic spear. The spear then lifted the expert's body high into the air, gave a fierce shake, and blasted the body apart, turning it into a mist of blood.
"Too terrifying! If I keep fighting, my life will be lost here! I don't want that Yin Seed anymore!"
This Golden Immortal expert's Soul Body appeared in the distance, his face filled with terror as he shrieked in a shrill voice.
Then, without even waiting to reform his body, the Golden Immortal turned and fled, disappearing into the distance in an instant.
Boom...
That massive spear struck out toward another Golden Immortal expert.
This Golden Immortal expert was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.
"Everyone, help me!"
This Golden Immortal expert shouted.
But the giant spear was too fast, arriving before him in the blink of an eye. In his panic, the Golden Immortal raised the longsword in his hand to block it.
A loud *clang* rang out. The Golden Immortal was sent flying backward, and the longsword in his hand was knocked away.
"I'm not fighting anymore!"
Terrified, this Golden Immortal expert turned and fled.
*Pfft!* The giant spear pierced through this Golden Immortal expert's body, then shattered his physical form.
Another Golden Immortal expert defeated instantly!
In the ensuing battle, five or six more Golden Immortal experts were slain on the spot by the battle formation of the ten youths.
Seeing this, the remaining Golden Immortal experts began to feel scared. They realized the battle formation formed by these ten youths was far too terrifying!
Not to mention single combat, even if they attacked together, it was not certain they could win.
Furthermore, besides these ten youths, this mountain hamlet had other experts joining the fight, such as the village chief, who was an extremely formidable expert!
"Forget it, I don't want that Yin Seed anymore. This mountain hamlet's strength is too terrifying. We can't possibly break in. If we keep fighting like this, I'll lose my life!"
One Golden Immortal expert decided to retreat, turned, and left, disappearing from sight in moments.
"Ahh..."
Just as this Golden Immortal expert was leaving, another scream sounded. Yet another expert had his head shattered by that massive spear, his Soul Body completely extinguished, dying on the spot.
"I don't want that Yin Seed either! Life is more important!"
Seeing this scene, another Golden Immortal expert grew fearful and turned to leave.
Seeing someone take the lead, several more Golden Immortal experts departed one after another.
Thus, the remaining Golden Immortals lost even more fighting spirit and also left in succession.
In the end, only Dark Ancestor, the nun, the burly man, and seven Golden Immortal experts from the Dark Faction remained.
Dark Ancestor had originally brought eleven Golden Immortal experts from the Dark Faction here, but three had been killed, leaving seven now.
"Damn it!"
Dark Ancestor's expression was extremely ugly.
The nun and the burly man also wore somewhat gloomy expressions.
These three top experts had been jointly attacking that Ancient Cauldron. After fighting for so long, they had failed to inflict any damage on the cauldron whatsoever.
That Ancient Cauldron stood unmoving like a pillar that stabilized the seas. No matter how the three top experts attacked, it showed no reaction!
Moreover, the cauldron was still continuously releasing vast amounts of terrifying energy, forming a huge energy barrier blocking the path into the village.
At this moment, Dark Ancestor, the nun, and the burly man all felt a sense of helplessness rising in their hearts. Within the Golden Immortal realm, they were among the top-tier, first-class experts. Yet now, their combined efforts could not overcome what appeared to be a very dilapidated ancient cauldron.
"Village Guard Team, continue and kill these fellows!"
The village chief pointed at the remaining seven Dark Faction Golden Immortal experts and said to the ten youths.
The ten youths all raised their spears and charged forward together, frightening the Dark Faction Golden Immortals into retreating.
"You three fellows should stop causing trouble here and leave quickly. Our village doesn't welcome outsiders like you. If you know what's good for you, leave on your own. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The village chief turned around, his gaze landing on Dark Ancestor and the other two experts, speaking impatiently.
"Hmph, big talk! If it weren't for this cauldron, I would have long since broken into this mountain village and slaughtered everyone inside, leaving not even a chicken or dog alive. How dare you be so insolent in front of me!"
Hearing the chief's words, the burly man couldn't help but snort coldly and speak sharply.
"You? You can't even enter our village, let alone talk about leaving not a chicken or dog. But since you've already shown murderous intent, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Hearing the burly man's words, the village chief's voice immediately turned icy.
As the village chief, his duty was to safeguard the peace of this village. Now someone was threatening to enter the village and slaughter everyone, which crossed his bottom line.
The village chief immediately formed hand seals, consecutively making several magic seals and sending them into the Ancient Cauldron high in the sky. The cauldron suddenly erupted with a tremendous burst of energy that rumbled forth, directly suppressing toward the burly man.
Ancient and profound runes emerged from the body of the cauldron. Each rune was as heavy as a mountain, seemingly containing extremely terrifying energy.
Boom...
The Ancient Cauldron tore through the air, carrying a kind of dreadful, overwhelming force. It vaguely seemed as if heavenly principles had descended to punish the world.
Feeling the terrifying energy carried by the cauldron, the burly man's face changed drastically. However, relying on his high skill and boldness, he refused to retreat half a step. He fiercely raised the great hammer in his hand and smashed it forward.
*CLANG!* An earth-shattering metallic crash resounded as the Ancient Cauldron and the burly man's hammer collided, making the entire world tremble. Then the burly man felt boundless and endless energy surging toward him—energy far too terrifying for him to withstand.
The burly man's hands were simultaneously split open, dripping with blood. Then he could no longer hold onto the iron hammer in his hands; it flew away.
The burly man's body was also sent flying backward.
"Too terrifying!"
The burly man felt his blood and energy churning within his body; his internal organs seemed about to explode. Cracks had already appeared all over his body, with blood seeping from each one.
Boom...
What frightened the burly man even more was that the Ancient Cauldron trembled violently once more and charged toward him again, carrying that terrifying energy.
"What are you two waiting for? Why aren't you helping me? If I fall, then with just the two of you, trying to defeat this cauldron will be even more difficult!"
The burly man said to Dark Ancestor and the nun.
Dark Ancestor and the nun remained silent, attacking simultaneously. Dark Ancestor waved the large black banner in his hand, while the nun activated the old wooden fish in front of her. Both slammed their attacks toward the Ancient Cauldron.
The burly man gestured with his hand, summoning his great iron hammer back, then raised it high and smashed it toward the cauldron. The three top experts once again joined forces to attack the cauldron.
The village chief sneered, then formed hand seals, consecutively sending several magic seals into the Ancient Cauldron. The seemingly shabby, worn-out cauldron suddenly erupted with rolling divine radiance, illuminating the entire world brightly.
Boom...
As the cauldron spewed forth rolling divine radiance, the energy it released also instantly surged dramatically, rushing forward with astonishing speed. Before the burly man could react, the cauldron was already in front of him, smashing toward him.
*CLANG!*
In his fluster, the burly man raised his huge hammer and fiercely slammed it against the cauldron. Following a tremendous crash, the tall, burly man's body was sent flying backward, coughing up blood repeatedly.
Both Dark Ancestor and the nun were greatly shocked, because the burly man's combat power was extremely strong, not much weaker than theirs. Now that this man had been injured by the cauldron, it meant this cauldron could likely injure them as well!
Boom...
That glittering, dazzlingly radiant cauldron erupted with terrifying energy once more and charged toward the burly man.
The burly man let out a shout, turned, and fled.
"Somehow, I feel the body-refining cultivation technique this fellow practices resembles a heritage of the Great Strength Demon God?"
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was still at Mr. Liu's home, having a meal with Mr. Liu and Rong'er. The food was lavish, and Mr. Liu and Rong'er were both very hospitable, so Ye Yunfei patiently accompanied them. However, his Soul Power was constantly perceiving the events happening outside.
Ye Yunfei had noticed this burly man for a while now, feeling that the body-refining technique he cultivated was very similar to the body-refining heritage of the Great Strength Demon God.
Right now, that burly man had already utilized movement techniques and was fleeing into the distance.
Having been struck by the cauldron earlier, he was severely injured and did not dare to continue the fight.
"Now it's your turn, you two fellows!"
The village chief's sharp gaze turned toward Dark Ancestor and the nun.
"I never imagined that an unremarkable, remote little mountain hamlet actually conceals crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and even possesses a magical treasure of such immense power."
The nun's expression was very complex. Originally, she had thought that with her strength, entering the space-time of the Three Thousand Worlds, she could act with impunity. Never did she expect that after fighting for most of the day now, she couldn't even take half a step into this little mountain hamlet before her eyes.
