"All of you must die!"
Ye Yunfei stood majestic and peerless, unleashing several more consecutive punches that exploded another four or five Deities into oblivion.
Of the thirteen Deities from the Guardian Faction who had charged at him earlier, more than half had already been pulverized by Ye Yunfei. The remaining few wore terrified expressions, immediately turning to flee.
However, the fifteen Deity-level puppets had already surrounded them; escape was impossible. The next moment, the fifteen puppets swarmed forward, utterly annihilating these remaining Guardians.
From the moment the thirteen Deities charged at Ye Yunfei, to him releasing the fifteen puppets, to Ye Yunfei swiftly demolishing Deity after Deity — the entire process was extremely brief, because Ye Yunfei's movements were simply too fast and decisive.
A veteran of countless battles who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Ye Yunfei knew that in chaotic melees like this, the key to killing enemies was speed. The faster, the better, cutting through the chaos like a hot knife through butter. Therefore, once he acted, he showed no mercy, his actions clean and efficient.
And so, all thirteen Deities from the Guardian Faction were slaughtered by Ye Yunfei. Their Soul Bodies could not escape either; all were seized by Ye Yunfei, dragged into his soul sea, and devoured using his Soul Power Planet Method.
"I've devoured quite a few Deity-level Soul Bodies lately," Ye Yunfei mused. "Both of my Soul Bodies seem to be undergoing a qualitative transformation. My Soul Power energy has increased dramatically, and my attainment in the Soul Power Planet Method has also reached a new level."
After consuming the thirteen Deity Soul Bodies in quick succession, Ye Yunfei sensed his two Soul Bodies had elevated to a new tier, his Soul Power energy level skyrocketing. After all, the Soul Power energy contained within thirteen Deity Soul Bodies was no trivial matter.
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon a distant Intermediate Void God from the Guardian Faction. At his mental command, he executed Moon Soul Slash.
A miserable shriek rang out. That Intermediate Void God bled from all seven orifices, his Soul Body wounded on the spot.
"Everyone, save me!" the Intermediate Void God cried, immediately turning to flee. He reached the far distance in an instant, his face deathly pale, lacking even the courage to look back at Ye Yunfei.
"Excellent!" Ye Yunfei smiled in satisfaction. "With the enhancement of my Soul Power, my Moon Soul Slash can now injure the Soul Bodies of Intermediate Void Gods."
"He's too strong!" Both sides watching from afar couldn't believe their eyes. Ye Yunfei had just slain thirteen Deities from the Guardian Faction in such a short span of time.
Since Ye Yunfei's return to this secret base, the number of Deities from the Guardian Faction he had slain had approached twenty! One could say that, of the Deity forces the Guardian Faction had deployed for this operation, more than half had been wiped out by Ye Yunfei alone — a devastating loss.
"Hahaha…
Young Master Ye, that's splendid!"
The Great Leader watching from afar couldn't help but roar with laughter. The pleasant surprise Ye Yunfei brought him was immense. "You are practically the nemesis of those Guardian Faction scum!"
"If Ye Yunfei is not eliminated, he will become a severe hidden threat to our Guardian Faction!" A Guardian Faction Intermediate Void God gritted his teeth as he stared venomously at Ye Yunfei in the distance.
"Damned!"
The Second Chief, seeing Ye Yunfei consecutively slaughter so many Guardian Faction Deities, began to pale. He had always known Ye Yunfei was powerful, but never to such an extent. Ye Yunfei killing close to twenty Guardian Deities had drastically altered the power balance. The Guardian Faction had held absolute superiority initially, but with the loss of around twenty Deities, their strength was severely diminished.
"Hahaha…
Young Master Ye, you truly are a lucky star for our Restoration Faction!" The Great Leader looked excitedly at the fifteen puppets surrounding Ye Yunfei. "It seems it is not yet our Restoration Faction's fate to be extinguished today!"
The other Restoration members were equally stirred.
"Everyone, we actually suspected Young Master Ye of being a spy before. We truly deserve to die! Thankfully, Young Master Ye is here today. Our Restoration Faction still has hope!" Among the six Restoration Deities, including Tang Tao, who had returned with Ye Yunfei, all felt a mix of excitement and shame at witnessing Ye Yunfei's valor. After all, stirred by Liu Feng earlier, they had all participated in besieging Ye Yunfei.
"Everyone, listen!" the Great Leader transmitted his voice to all Restorers. "The Guardian Faction's strength has now been greatly weakened. Let's concentrate our forces and break through! This secret base is compromised and can no longer be used."
Then, he sent a private message to Ye Yunfei. "Young Master Ye, you must be careful. For this operation, the Guardian Faction has deployed Advanced Void Gods, along with several highly potent magical treasures. While you are powerful, confronting an Advanced Void God would still be somewhat… challenging for you."
"Advanced Void God?" Ye Yunfei inwardly frowned upon receiving the Great Leader's message. He understood clearly: the main reason he could so easily defeat Primary and Intermediate Void Gods was his divine physique, relying primarily on physical force. The combat characteristics of physical power were efficiency and unrestrained force; once you overpowered your opponent, absolute suppression came easily, allowing for quick kills. However, it also had drawbacks — lacking variation, employing singular methods. Against an opponent stronger than oneself, it could seem clumsy and inadequate. Deity Power energy allowed for more variation and profundity, possessing wondrous applications that physical power simply couldn't match.
Right at this moment, a young man burst into the Small World from outside with a large group of men, arriving before the Second Chief.
It was Liu Feng.
"Reporting to Master," Liu Feng said to the Second Chief. "Most of those Restorers carrying out external missions have been slain by the men I led. The only regret is that lad Ye Yunfei managed to escape."
"Well done," the Second Chief nodded with a smile. "The reason I sent those Restorers out was precisely to create the opportunity for you to lead men to eliminate them."
"Liu Feng! You despicable spy!" shouted the six Deities who had returned with Ye Yunfei, their faces twisted with fury at Liu Feng's words. "You even falsely accused Young Master Ye of being a spy earlier, causing us to nearly fall for your scheme!"
"Ye Yunfei has already returned," the Second Chief pointed towards Ye Yunfei.
"Ye Yunfei! So, you've returned as well," Liu Feng spotted Ye Yunfei and immediately shouted loudly. "You escaped quickly last time. Where do you think you'll escape to now?" A gleaming silver long spear flew out from his forehead, radiating vast lances of spear light — none other than that Advanced Void God treasure.
"Thank you for the warning, Great Leader. I will be careful," Ye Yunfei transmitted back, ignoring Liu Feng. "Great Leader, I believe the most urgent matter is to lead everyone away from this base and find another location to settle. As long as we preserve our strength, we can always rebuild."
"Agreed, Young Master Ye," the Great Leader replied. "The enemy's Advanced Void God will make his move soon. Later, I will take responsibility for stalling that Advanced Void God, while you lead the retreat for everyone else. Given your strength, I believe that as long as you don't encounter an Advanced Void God directly, no one should be able to stop you."
"Very well," Ye Yunfei answered.
"Master, allow me to go and kill Ye Yunfei," Liu Feng demanded murderously.
"He is powerful. Moreover, those fifteen puppets around him are all Deity-level," the Second Chief said with a slight frown. "Killing him won't be easy."
"What? Those fifteen puppets are all Deity-level?" Hearing this, Liu Feng's expression faltered slightly, his gaze shifting to the puppets surrounding Ye Yunfei. If those were fifteen Deity-level puppets, plus Ye Yunfei himself, that constituted a tremendously powerful force.
"So what if they're fifteen puppets?" Liu Feng retorted to the other Deities beside him. "We join forces and strike together to slay Ye Yunfei."
The Deities Liu Feng had just brought back numbered more than a dozen. At his command, the group of over ten Deities surged forward alongside Liu Feng to attack Ye Yunfei.
"Hu Miao, Hun Lao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Xiaoyao Shen," Ye Yunfei instantly messaged his companions as he watched Liu Feng and the over ten Deities charge towards him. "Deploy every technique at your disposal later, hold nothing back. I intend to eliminate every last one of these fellows."
Finishing his transmission, Ye Yunfei took a single step forward, executing the Nine Dragons Supreme Step. He took nine consecutive steps, moving at extreme speed. Nine colossal dragon silhouettes materialized simultaneously. An ancient Emperor Phantom image also appeared behind him. Four enormous golden light spheres then shot forth from Ye Yunfei's dantian.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's aura reached its peak. A terrifying energy field centered on him rapidly expanded outwards in all directions, suppressing everything within its range.
"Ye Yunfei, die!" an Intermediate Void God roared, hurling a crimson spear that pierced through the void, arriving before Ye Yunfei in an instant. Ye Yunfei punched forward. *Clang!* The crimson spear was sent flying back.
With a mental command, Ye Yunfei unleashed Moon Soul Slash. A full moon materialized within that Intermediate Void God's soul sea, slashing directly towards his Soul Body.
The Intermediate Void God's face instantly drained of color. Before he could react, Ye Yunfei strode forward, arriving right in front of him. A massive fist, carrying torrential fist energy, slammed towards him.
"Ye Yunfei, how dare you wreak havoc!" Liu Feng bellowed. He had already charged to Ye Yunfei's front, gripping the silver long spear with both hands as he thrust it viciously at Ye Yunfei's chest.
