"According to the records in my racial memory, there already existed a force called the Blood Bandits in antiquity.
As the name suggests, everyone in this force is a pack of thieves and bandits, engaging entirely in activities like plundering homes, burning, killing, and looting.
Their methods are extremely cruel; exterminating clans and annihilating worlds are frequent occurrences, giving them a notoriously vile reputation.
Furthermore, members of the Blood Bandits are highly cunning. If they encounter a powerful expert, they immediately bow their heads and submit, even going so far as to actively curry favor.
In other words, this force specializes in bullying the weak. That's why the Blood Bandits, despite being evil and employing brutal methods, have persisted and been passed down until the present.
A force able to survive and develop to this day must certainly have significant overall strength."
Hun Lao, hearing Ye Yunfei's question, immediately searched through his racial memory and indeed found some memories regarding the Blood Bandits.
"Indeed, a force that can last so long must have solid foundations, and its strength won't be weak either."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
At this moment, the two sides had already clashed. Those who were surrounded understood well that being targeted by the Blood Bandits left no path for survival. Even kneeling and begging for mercy might not guarantee a reprieve from death. It was better to risk everything in a fight. Thus, they all rallied their spirits, unleashed their attacks, and charged toward the Blood Bandits together.
"Our Yang Family had no enmity with you Blood Bandits, but you killed one of our elders. This is a grudge that cannot share the same sky!"
Yang Feng and another Yang Family elder simultaneously charged towards a Fifth-Level Sovereign God from the Blood Bandits.
"Our Blood Bandits have killed far, far too many people. If we're talking about grudges, our list is countless. As for revenge, a minor clan like yours wouldn't even get to the front of the line."
The Blood Bandits' Fifth-Level Sovereign God glanced disdainfully at Yang Feng, speaking with scorn.
*BOOM!*
A painting shot out from within Yang Feng's body. This painting depicted a world.
This world primarily consisted of a star-filled cosmos, with various stars twinkling and rumbling incessantly through the celestial expanse.
Yang Feng flicked his hand, and the cosmos from the painting surged forth, giant stars rolling forward according to specific trajectories, crushing everything in their path.
The other Yang Family elder took out a golden war halberd, continuously enlarging it, and chopped forward.
Facing the combined assault of the two Yang Family members, the Blood Bandits' Fifth-Level Sovereign God stood his ground without retreating or evading. He clenched his right fist into a punch.
The phantom of an ancient, ferocious beast manifested, rushing forth from his fist and brandishing thick, savage claws to smash directly against the golden war halberd, then proceeded to shatter star after giant star.
"Being able to die beneath my Qiongqi Annihilation Fist can be considered enlightening for you folk from a minor clan."
The Blood Bandits' Fifth-Level Sovereign God chuckled coldly.
*BOOM!*
He threw another punch. The ferocious beast from before reappeared, this time appearing even larger and emitting a more terrifying aura.
Just as Yang Feng and the other Yang Family elder were being forced to retreat continuously,
Ye Yunfei's figure appeared beside them, throwing a punch of his own. A massive Divine Dragon manifested.
*BOOM!*
Two fists collided.
"Who is this guy?
He actually dares to block my fist head-on?!"
The Blood Bandits' Fifth-Level Sovereign God was greatly startled to see a cold-faced, unfamiliar young man suddenly appear before him.
"He's only at the Heavenly God level!
How is this possible?"
Next, the Fifth-Level Sovereign God saw clearly that this young man who suddenly appeared to block his fist was actually only at the Heavenly God realm.
A Heavenly God blocking a Fifth-Level Sovereign God's fist head-on? This was too unbelievable. He even suspected he might be hallucinating.
"Young Master Ye, it's you!"
Yang Feng and the Yang Family elder were both shocked and overjoyed when they recognized the newcomer.
"Now that Young Master Ye is here, we're saved."
Yang Feng and the elder exchanged a look, their hearts surging with excitement.
Because both of them knew that although Ye Yunfei was a Heavenly God, his actual combat power far surpassed theirs, both being Sovereign Gods. He also possessed numerous techniques and methods. It was highly likely he could rescue them.
Originally, the Yang Family Patriarch and the elder had been resolved to fight to the death. But seeing Ye Yunfei's arrival suddenly gave them hope to survive.
Ye Yunfei didn't waste words. He cast a cold glance at the Blood Bandits' Fifth-Level Sovereign God, then immediately unleashed the Mind Reading Art, followed by the Heart Sword.
"How can this be?!"
That Fifth-Level Sovereign God's Soul Body was suddenly subjected to such a terrifying attack, his countenance instantly shifting drastically.
Next, he discovered over thirty weapons, emitting dreadful Soul Power energy auras, had appeared around his head and launched a savage assault.
These weapons possessed extreme penetration power, completely ignoring the obstruction of his divine energy. In an instant, they all slammed into his head, blasting his skull to pieces then and there.
When Ye Yunfei moved, Hu Miao had long since employed her clan's illusion techniques, simultaneously enveloping this Fifth-Level Sovereign God within several illusions.
Faced with the combined assault of Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao, this Fifth-Level Sovereign God was utterly helpless.
Ye Yunfei directly made his move, sealing up the now-defenseless Fifth-Level Sovereign God of the Blood Bandits, including his physical body and Soul Body.
Thus, not even two breaths after Ye Yunfei appeared, he and Hu Miao had jointly and decisively suppressed and sealed a Fifth-Level Sovereign God.
With Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao's current combat power, even fighting a Fifth-Level Sovereign God alone could yield victory, let alone a coordinated attack.
Moreover, the cultivation techniques and secret arts practiced by Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao were extremely peculiar. Ordinary Sovereign Gods would often be suppressed and sealed before they even realized what was happening.
Whether it was Soul Power energy or heart-force energy, the attacks they launched were extremely swift and difficult to defend against. Therefore, these two types of energy could often achieve the element of surprise in battle, striking where the enemy is unprepared and achieving instant subjugation.
Especially the Heart Sword unleashed with Ye Yunfei's current heart-force level could be considered one of his most formidable combat methods at present.
"Young Master Ye is truly formidable!"
Yang Feng and that Yang Family elder, witnessing Ye Yunfei suppress and seal a Fifth-Level Sovereign God with a single move, were filled with immense admiration.
"Do I feel like Young Master Ye's strength seems to have taken a significant leap compared to before?
It seems Young Master Ye must have gained substantial benefits within Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Cave Mansion."
The Yang Family elder transmitted his words to Yang Feng via Sound Transmission.
"Absolutely, but the main reason is Young Master Ye's own innate talent. Otherwise, being so young and at the Heavenly God realm, he couldn't reach his current heights by relying on luck alone."
"Correct, Young Master Ye's current strength is primarily due to his own talent.
Naturally, his luck is undoubtedly top-tier.
Possessing talent and good fortune, Young Master Ye's future achievements will be boundless. Therefore, our Yang Family must befriend Young Master Ye. This is an opportunity for us."
Yang Feng nodded, speaking openly.
"Kid, who are you?
How dare you attack a member of our Blood Bandits?!"
At this moment, the other surrounding individuals all looked towards Ye Yunfei with astonished gazes.
Because the combat power Ye Yunfei displayed was too terrifying; he had almost instantly defeated a Fifth-Level Sovereign God.
"Young Master Ye, these fellows are from the Blood Bandits, an evil force passed down through long eras.
Although their reputation is foul, they indeed possess frighteningly profound foundations. Don't provoke them lightly. We should find a way to leave here as soon as possible."
Yang Feng transmitted his words to Ye Yunfei.
He feared that because of him, Ye Yunfei would incur the Blood Bandits' enmity.
"I know of the Blood Bandits."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Kid, since you've killed a member of our Blood Bandits, you'll pay with your life!"
Three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods from the Blood Bandits simultaneously surrounded Ye Yunfei, murderous intent swirling around them.
"With the likes of you, you aren't qualified to demand my life."
Ye Yunfei glanced at the three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods, speaking coldly.
"Kid, you dare speak to us in such a tone? You simply have a death wish!"
The three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods, seeing the disdain in Ye Yunfei's eyes, instantly flew into towering rages.
"Stay out of my way if you want to keep your lives."
Ye Yunfei's words were icy.
Having understood the situation of the Blood Bandits force, Ye Yunfei didn't harbor the slightest bit of goodwill towards them.
"Kid, you're asking for death!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words only fueled their rage. The three Blood Bandits' Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods attacked simultaneously.
Ye Yunfei also willed his intent, unleashing the Mind Reading Art to simultaneously disrupt the thoughts and notions of the three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods, followed by the Heart Sword, attacking the Soul Bodies of all three Sovereign Gods in an instant.
Hu Miao made her move at the same time, using the illusion path energy released by the Primordial True Fox Stele to instantaneously set up a dozen or so illusions, enveloping the three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods within them.
Ye Yunfei swung his sword and chopped. In moments, the bodies of these three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods were sliced in two.
"Damnation!
Everybody attack! Deal with this kid first!"
The other Blood Bandit members, witnessing this scene, were both shocked and furious. They immediately abandoned the others, simultaneously turning to encircle and attack Ye Yunfei.
"Let's go."
Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to Yang Feng and the Yang Family elder, then teleported them into the Phantom Shadow Tower.
Simultaneously, he waved a hand and laid down two or three isolation Formations, placing them between himself and the Blood Bandits' members. Then, Ye Yunfei deployed a Teleportation Formation, instantly teleporting away.
With the continuous improvement of his formation skills, Ye Yunfei had increasingly started utilizing Formations during confrontations.
*BOOM BOOM BOOM...*
Seeing Ye Yunfei attempting to teleport away, the Blood Bandits members grew anxious and unleashed one ferocious attack after another.
But the Formations Ye Yunfei laid down were extremely resilient. Unable to break them in a short time, these Blood Bandit members could only watch helplessly as Ye Yunfei teleported away.
As for the others who had just been surrounded by the Blood Bandits, they had long since taken advantage of the opportunity to slip away quietly.
"Damn it all! We let all those targets escape!
It's all that kid's fault. If he hadn't appeared and barged in and interfered, we would have butchered that batch of fat sheep long ago."
Seeing all their targets had fled, the Blood Bandits members hopped and fumed with rage.
"Remember that kid. If we encounter him in the future, we must settle accounts with him.
Now, there's no need to waste time here. Let's continue searching for the next batch of targets."
The leading Sixth-Level Sovereign God of the Blood Bandits cast a cold glance in the direction Ye Yunfei had departed, then waved a hand and led his group away swiftly to seek their next batch of plundering targets.
