"Ye Yunfei, how dare you act arrogantly in front of us! Get over here!"
That bald, muscular man was enraged. He extended a hand, which swiftly enlarged, transforming into a colossal palm of spiritual energy that blanketed the heavens and covered the earth as it surged towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's body sank as if he were shouldering a great mountain.
The power of a Minor Mystic Pill Realm expert was indeed formidable!
Ye Yunfei vibrated his physical strength, shaking off the energy pressure bearing down on his body. Activating the Shadowgale Robe, he retreated a few li in a flicker like a phantom flame-spark.
"Hmph! Ye Yunfei, your strength is indeed somewhat strange. However, that's the extent of it." The bald man was startled at first, then snorted coldly.
"Try tasting my blade!" The bald man turned his hand and grabbed, manifesting a heavy steel broadsword in his grasp.
As the words fell, the bald man swung his blade. A massive blade aura ten meters wide and several hundred meters long erupted, shaking heaven and earth as it cleaved towards Ye Yunfei.
Boom!...
The colossal blade aura tore through the sky, surging towards Ye Yunfei with overwhelming momentum.
"So powerful!" Gu Chengzhu, Cui Tianguo, Xie Changkong, and the other experts of the Tianxuan Continent all changed color. They had no doubt that if they faced such a blow, they would be instantly shredded!
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh and pointed with his hand.
The Five Elements Spirit Swords shot out, forming the Five Elements Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to block the incoming attack.
Clang!
The Five Elements Spirit Swords and that blade aura violently collided.
Frightening collision energy transformed into one mushroom cloud after another, soaring into the sky.
It was an even match!
As his cultivation realm increased, the power of the Five Elements Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation wielded by Ye Yunfei had also grown substantially. Even a mid-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm opponent was a matchable foe!
"Impossible!" roared the bald man. He was a Minor Mystic Pill Realm expert! Two moves in a row, and he hadn't been able to do anything to Ye Yunfei. He felt utterly humiliated.
The expressions of the other four foreign experts also turned grave. They realized Ye Yunfei's combat strength exceeded their expectations!
"Everyone, our primary mission this time is Ye Yunfei! And we absolutely cannot afford a mistake! To ensure success, let's all attack together!" Guluo said solemnly.
As the words fell, the five foreign experts simultaneously flashed, instantly encircling Ye Yunfei.
At this moment, the five foreign experts released their energy pressure without reservation.
Boom!...
The sky and earth were filled with howling energy hurricanes.
Heavens darkened, earth dimmed, sun and moon lost their light!
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat quickly!" Gu Chengzhu, Cui Tianguo, Xie Changkong, and the other experts of Tianxuan Continent all shouted, ordering their forces to withdraw.
Agh!...
Many Tianxuan Continent martial artists who were relatively close were blasted away on the spot, falling towards the distance like dumplings dropping into water.
A battle of this level was something even Grotto-Heaven Realm experts could not approach, let alone ordinary martial artists!
"Five Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts! Can Commander Ye handle them?"
At this moment, countless Tianxuan Continent martial artists were extremely tense. Everyone understood the fate of Tianxuan Continent rested entirely on Ye Yunfei alone. If Ye Yunfei won, Tianxuan Continent would be safe. If Ye Yunfei lost, its people would face a tragic end.
Facing the five Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts, Ye Yunfei remained calm and composed. Five spirit swords weaved around him, radiating surging waves of frigid sword aura.
"Ye Yunfei, that was just an appetizer! Now, witness my true sword art!" That bald man took the lead, stepping forward with a roar.
The large blade in his hand slashed out consecutively.
Boom!...
Ten terrifying blade rays, each hundreds of meters long, split the sky and rumbled towards Ye Yunfei.
The space between heaven and earth was filled with these ten blade rays.
The billowing blade aura carved deep trenches tens of meters deep into the ground below.
"Ye Yunfei, die!" An Ancient Demon Race member stretched out two demonic hands. They swelled immensely, transforming into two giant palms that he used to uproot a nearby mountain peak by its roots and hurl it towards Ye Yunfei.
That bewitching woman moved with astonishing speed, instantly arriving behind Ye Yunfei.
Her body then erupted with vast amounts of yellow smoke, instantly enveloping the area for a dozen li around.
Whoosh!
Within the billowing yellow smoke, the phantom of a gigantic scorpion's tail shot towards Ye Yunfei.
"Ye Yunfei, don't resist foolishly!" Guluo shouted. A column of black mist erupted from his crown, transforming into a ferocious, coiling black dragon that madly swept towards Ye Yunfei.
The remaining Ancient Demon Race member brandished two great iron hammers as he charged at Ye Yunfei. Each hammer strike caused heaven and earth to tremble violently.
Five Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts attacked together.
The power they unleashed was simply staggering!
A terrifying, tidal wave of pressure washed outwards in successive surges, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Retreat! Retreat further!" Gu Chengzhu bellowed.
The Tianxuan Continent army retreated again and again, not stopping until they had fallen back fifty or sixty li away, where they could barely stand their ground.
"Is this the might of a Minor Mystic Pill Realm expert? Forget fighting, I can't even stand steady near them," some Grotto-Heaven Realm experts couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you think Commander Ye can win?" someone else asked anxiously.
At this moment, all the martial artists of Tianxuan Continent fell silent. Before this, Ye Yunfei had been seen as an invincible existence in their hearts. But today was different. Ye Yunfei's opponents were the legendary Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts! And there were five of them!
At that moment.
"Ye Yunfei, now do you know the power of us Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts!" After all five foreign experts attacked, that bald man laughed wildly.
Under these circumstances, he didn't think Ye Yunfei had any means to counterattack.
"Frankly speaking, you've all disappointed me," Ye Yunfei shook his head, his expression full of disdain.
Roar...
Seeing Ye Yunfei's stubborn defiance, the five foreign experts were furious.
Suddenly.
Whoosh...
Ye Yunfei unleashed Heavenly Soul Sword, attacking the soul seas of each of the five foreign experts.
Agh!...
Caught off guard, the five foreigners cried out in agony, staggering back dozens of paces, both shocked and enraged.
Their offensive momentum instantly collapsed!
Two days earlier, in Dongyang Tianjun's tomb in the Northern Wastelands, Ye Yunfei had absorbed a huge amount of soul stones. His Soul Power intensity had increased by over a hundredfold! Naturally, the Heavenly Soul Sword he wielded now was also immensely more powerful!
"The Heavenly Soul Sword I can now unleash can easily injure a mid-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm expert," Ye Yunfei revealed a satisfied smile.
"Damn it! His Soul Power is that strong? And he's cultivated a powerful soul force martial art!" Guluo gnashed his teeth, his expression grim.
"Attack together!" Guluo growled.
Boom!...
The five foreign experts attacked again.
Ye Yunfei activated the Shadowgale Robe, instantly retreating to create distance from them.
Then, with a thought, he unleashed Heavenly Soul Sword once more.
Agh! Agh!...
The five foreigners cried out and retreated again, each of them frantic with anger, their gazes fixed venomously on Ye Yunfei. They were unable to withstand the Heavenly Soul Sword Ye Yunfei unleashed. A single soul force martial art move had rendered them helpless! They felt an unbearable frustration, as if they had strength but nowhere to apply it!
"Ye Yunfei, if you have guts, don't use your soul force martial art! Let's have a proper fight!" The bald man glared as if his eyes were spewing fire, shouting at Ye Yunfei.
"If you have guts, suppress your cultivation realm to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, then we'll have a proper fight," Ye Yunfei replied with a faint smile.
"Don't worry, everyone. We, the Ancient Demon Race, have long known that Ye Yunfei has cultivated a profound soul force martial art. Aoyue Demon King has prepared for this. Here are five illusionary-grade treasures capable of resisting soul attacks!" Guluo waved a hand, and five primary-grade Illusion Artifacts flew out.
Boom!...
The five primary-grade Illusion Artifacts were activated, hovering above the heads of the five foreign experts.
"Hahaha... Ye Yunfei, these are illusionary-grade treasures. You've probably never even seen one before. Now, we fear not your soul attacks!" The bald man laughed triumphantly.
"Just a few primary-grade Illusion Artifacts, nothing worth celebrating," Ye Yunfei found their words laughable.
The next moment.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A longsword, a small black pagoda, and a silver ancient seal flew out simultaneously, activated.
These were three advanced-grade Illusion Artifacts Ye Yunfei had obtained from Dongyang Tianjun's tomb.
"What?
Three advanced-grade Illusion Artifacts!
Impossible!"
The five foreign experts were utterly dumbstruck.
