"Brother Ye, they're coming in. It looks like twelve Perfected Void Gods have arrived!"
Inside the city, Lu Shi stood beside Ye Yunfei, feeling a bit tense. After all, having so many Perfected Void Gods gathered in one place would make any young powerhouse nervous.
"Only twelve Perfected Void Gods? I'm a little disappointed," Ye Yunfei said, shaking his head as he looked at the twelve Perfected Void Gods leading the way.
Back in the Eighth Void, Ye Yunfei had already fought ten Perfected Void Gods each time and killed them all. His strength had been steadily increasing since then, so facing twelve Perfected Void Gods now was completely pressure-free.
Not just Ye Yunfei, but Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang were also quite relaxed.
"Master, after we finish off all these guys, we'll be able to make another big haul. These people are quite strong, and they've been exploring and treasure hunting in this Yangming Secret Realm for so long. Their harvests must be very rich," Hu Miao said, her eyes shining with excitement as she watched the people entering the city.
"We'll split these people's Soul Bodies between the two of us, and then I'll start secluding myself for a breakthrough. With so many high-quality Soul Bodies as resources, my realm and strength are sure to take a leap forward," Hun Lao was also very excited. His condition was already on the verge of a breakthrough; obtaining the Soul Bodies of so many Deities right now would make it a sure thing.
Soon, over a hundred people swarmed into the abandoned city.
"Be careful, everyone. There are many Formations inside," the twelve Perfected Void Gods at the front sensed the aura of the Formations in the city as soon as they entered and warned out loud.
The twelve Perfected Void Gods advanced, releasing their energy pressure that surged and tumbled, causing the entire city to shake and tremble as if it couldn't bear the weight.
"Hmph, there are indeed oddities here," one of the Perfected Void Gods suddenly snorted and said.
As he spoke, he punched forward. Several Formations immediately appeared at that location, and one of them actually showed cracks from his punch and began trembling continuously.
Then, with a few more moves, this Perfected Void God destroyed two Formations ahead of him.
"Is that all there is to it?" the Perfected Void God sneered, looking somewhat pleased with himself.
"Everyone, the aura of Formations is everywhere in this city. That youngster is most likely hidden in one of the Formations. Let's split up and search, and find him," another Perfected Void God proclaimed loudly.
The twelve Perfected Void Gods flashed about, releasing their powerful Soul Power energy and began a carpet search of the city. The others immediately scattered to search everywhere.
"Alright, let's reveal ourselves. No need to waste more time," Ye Yunfei and Lu Shi stood inside a small Formation space, watching the people coming and going around them as they spoke.
Then Ye Yunfei pointed a finger, and the small Formation space slowly began to materialize before everyone's eyes.
"They're here!"
As soon as Ye Yunfei and Lu Shi appeared, many people around them spotted them.
Immediately, everyone closed in, with the twelve Perfected Void Gods being the fastest, directly surrounding Ye Yunfei and Lu Shi.
The twelve Perfected Void Gods each released their energy pressure, crashing towards Ye Yunfei like raging stormy waves.
"Be careful, everyone. Since this kid dared to wait for us here, he must have prepared. We cannot be careless," one Perfected Void God said gravely.
"So what if he's prepared? We have well over a hundred people here. Are we supposed to be afraid of just the two of them?" another Perfected Void God said disdainfully.
"The two of you, confess truthfully. Were the Watchers from our Guardian Faction who went missing before killed by you?" a Perfected Void God from the Guardian Faction stepped forward, his sharp, piercing gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as he demanded gravely.
"Were the people from our Tianhai Sect also killed by you?" a Perfected Void God from the Tianhai Sect also harshly shouted.
"Yes, I killed them all. Every single one of your people from these factions was killed by me," Ye Yunfei said calmly, his hands clasped behind his back as he looked at the people before him.
"Brother Ye, I've counted. There are about a hundred and fifty of them here, and more are continuously streaming in," Lu Shi, standing beside Ye Yunfei, quietly counted their numbers and then sent a sound transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Just stand there and watch. Don't worry about anything else. Also, that invisibility talisman is working well; it's perfectly concealing your appearance and aura. Even these Perfected Void Gods might not recognize you. Try not to expose your identity," Ye Yunfei said to Lu Shi.
"Brother Ye, they probably already know my identity. Hiding won't do any good," Lu Shi said.
Ye Yunfei had given the invisibility talisman to Lu Shi for him to conceal his appearance and aura.
"Them knowing is one thing. You hide your identity now, and just don't admit it later. After I kill them all, there will be no evidence," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
He knew that after killing so many people, once they left, the related major factions would certainly launch a frenzied investigation, which might implicate Lu Shi and the Lu Family.
"Just who are the two of you? Which faction do you come from? Why did you kill so many of our Guardian Faction? Aren't you afraid of incurring the heaven-shaking wrath of our Guardian Faction, even implicating the sects and families behind you?" A Perfected Void God from the Guardian Faction stared intently at Ye Yunfei and Lu Shi and shouted.
"One of you two must be Lu Shi of the Lu Family! Which one is Lu Shi? Step forward and confess!" someone demanded.
"Babbling so much even as death draws near. Alright, don't waste my time anymore. Prepare to die, all of you," Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh.
"Kid, you dare to act so arrogant even at death's door! Let's attack! Seize the two of them, then apply every imaginable cruel torture we can think of on them, make them regret ever crossing us!" Someone pointed angrily at Ye Yunfei and Lu Shi and shouted.
"Then let's see whose death is truly at hand," Ye Yunfei said with a faint smile.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei stomped his foot.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within the city, a massive number of Formations continuously emerged. One Earth Formation after another rose from beneath the ground. Dense clusters of Formations and Earth Formations almost instantly divided the city into several different zones, trapping the hundred-plus people in separate areas.
This was exactly the effect Ye Yunfei wanted. By using Formations and Earth Formations to separate these people, he could deal with them in batches much more easily.
"Time to act," Ye Yunfei said softly.
Immediately, two to three hundred Deity-level puppets appeared, charging toward those trapped by the Formations and Earth Formations.
"There really are many fearsome puppets here!"
Seeing the large number of puppets, many people cried out in alarm.
The distress messages they received earlier had all said this city held many powerful puppets, and now they finally saw them.
"Get away from me!"
A Perfected Void God, simultaneously attacked by five or six puppets, roared in anger and raised a five-story pagoda in his hand.
Each level of this five-story pagoda was a different color, emitting different divine radiances.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The five or six puppets surrounding him were directly knocked back continuously.
The strongest among these puppets were at the Advanced Void God level, so facing a Perfected Void God, they were quickly forced back.
However, these puppets' bodies were incomparably tough. After being forced back, they sustained no damage and soon charged forward again.
The twelve Perfected Void Gods were each assaulted by five or six puppets. They could still handle it, even gaining the upper hand during the fight, periodically sending the puppets flying.
As for the others, they weren't so fortunate.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
In the city, screams rang out one after another without end. The Primary Void Gods and Intermediate Void Gods were continuously surrounded and killed by the puppets. Even those at the Advanced Void God level appeared very flustered facing these puppets.
"It seems these twelve fellows still require my personal intervention," Ye Yunfei said calmly as his gaze fell upon the twelve Perfected Void Gods.
After speaking, Ye Yunfei walked towards one of the Perfected Void Gods, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Kid, come here and die!"
That Perfected Void God had just repelled the five or six puppets attacking him. Seeing Ye Yunfei walk toward him so casually, he flew into a rage. Energy surged wildly from within his body like a stormy sea, pressing down towards Ye Yunfei.
Then two war halberds appeared in his hands. Brandishing them madly, he hacked at Ye Yunfei from the left and right.
Ye Yunfei activated his will and directly executed the Moon Soul Slash.
Having refined so many Deity Soul Bodies during this period, his Soul Power energy had reached an astonishing level. The Moon Soul Slash he unleashed now was something no ordinary Perfected Void God could withstand.
"Ah!" The Perfected Void God let out a miserable shriek.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei had already activated a white short sword, transforming it into a streak of blindingly fast white light that slashed towards him.
"Not good! This is a True God-level artifact! And this kid's energy intensity is terrifying! I don't think I can block this slash!"
Feeling the incredible aura emanating from the white short sword, the Perfected Void God's face instantly turned ashen as he desperately retreated.
He released over a dozen Perfected Void God-level magic treasures at once, activating them simultaneously to block the white short sword. But it was utterly useless. All the treasures were pierced through like blocks of tofu. Then the white short sword struck his body with a *crack*, slicing him cleanly in two.
"A mere Perfected Void God. It's not like I've never killed one before," Ye Yunfei said disdainfully, looking at the bisected Perfected Void God.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing this, the other eleven Perfected Void Gods stared dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.
Defeating a Perfected Void God in one move! Such combat power was shocking!
"It seems I still underestimated Brother Ye's strength," Lu Shi muttered with a bitter smile as he witnessed this scene. Yet at the same time, his heart was set at ease.
