Chapter 1697: Chapter 1697: Human Wave Tactics, Encirclement and Assassination

"Perhaps, they really are the prodigies who sealed themselves from ancient times," Ye Feng thought to himself.

For this, he was not too worried.

The disciples of the Misty Sect are all very formidable. Even if more ancient prodigies come, they will not fear; instead, they will regard the opponents as whetstones to hone themselves.

...

Black Prison Demon Sect.

Ten Rebirth Ponds were operating at full capacity.

Each Rebirth Pond can perform rebirth twice a day. Over half a month, the Black Prison Demon Sect has already cultivated hundreds of young prodigies with cultivation levels over the fortieth layer.

These individuals were dispatched throughout the universe.

On the surface, they are recluse geniuses with no apparent ties to the Black Prison Demon Sect.

"Sect Master, you are truly great!"

A Seventy-layered Immortal Emperor said joyfully because he found that the cultivators after rebirth had their malicious thoughts reduced to one-tenth of the peak level.

This was indeed a good thing!

"Through the Rebirth Ponds, it seems we can even forcibly cleanse ourselves. Even if we enter the Black Prison again, we won’t be hunted by the Black Prison Demon Beasts."

Another Seventy-layered Immortal Emperor was similarly thrilled.

"This is indeed good news."

"As long as the rebirth is successful, although the cultivation level temporarily drops by three minor realms, it can diminish the malice within us. We will no longer be recognized by Black Prison Demon Beasts as Black Prison convicts, and it’s as if we have truly escaped."

"Yes, this feature is very powerful."

"Truly worthy of the Sect Master, only he, a Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor, could create such a Divine Artifact."

The other Immortal Emperors were eager to try it.

"This feature was something I hadn’t expected," Hei Sha Immortal Emperor laughed, "Initially, I only wanted to create the younger generation, who would have thought the Rebirth Pond would have such a miraculous auxiliary function."

He finished speaking, utterly overjoyed in his heart.

To be honest, what Hei Sha Immortal Emperor feared most wasn’t Ye Feng but the Black Prison Demon Beasts.

Once they escape, they could instantly devour those of them who are filled with intense malice.

Now, upon learning that the Rebirth Pond can diminish the malice within them, Hei Sha Immortal Emperor was overjoyed.

"Alright, next, it’s our turn for rebirth," Hei Sha Immortal Emperor said.

Upon hearing his words, the Immortal Emperors were overjoyed.

"However, before that, first arrange for those hundreds of prodigies beyond the fortieth layer to hunt down the disciples of the Misty Sect. Kill as many as possible. These people, on the surface, are recluse geniuses and have no connection to us, the Black Prison Demon Sect, so there’s no need to worry about suspicion."

Hei Sha Immortal Emperor said.

"Understood."

"We will arrange for those prodigies to go and hunt down the disciples of the Misty Sect immediately, starting with the recently renowned Huo Yunjie first."

"Send out the Fifty-layered Immortal Emperors immediately!"

...

In the depths of the starry sky.

Huo Yunjie stepped on a sharp sword, traversing through the meteorite layer at great speed, reaching a supercontinent with a radius of tens of millions of miles.

This is an Immortal Realm.

It reached the Grand Thousand World level, housing dozens of Immortal Emperors, a few of whom reached the fortieth-layered Immortal Emperor level, all were members of the Black Prison Demon Sect.

Dong!

Huo Yunjie landed in a grand hall, looking around; his gaze fell on the few fortieth-layered Immortal Emperors.

"It’s Huo Yunjie!"

"Damn it, why is he here?"

"Escape!"

The few Immortal Emperors of the Black Prison Demon Sect turned and fled, one even crushed a jade pendant, directly triggering a detonation array in this world.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Huo Yunjie snorted coldly.

Clang!

A dazzling golden Sword Qi slashed out, instantly killing the few fortieth-layered Immortal Emperors.

He didn’t stop, continuing to wield his sword.

This time, tens of thousands of Sword Qi delved underground, destroying the core of the detonation array, causing the ground to quake violently, like a ninth-level earthquake.

Fortunately, the earthquake came and went quickly.

The losses in this Immortal Realm were not much. Though many beings were buried by the collapsing mountains, it was far better than having the entire Grand Thousand World blown apart.

"Finally, I’ve dealt with you."

Huo Yunjie muttered softly.

He collected the storage rings of these Immortal Emperors and flew deeper into the starry sky, preparing to hunt down other Immortal Emperors of the Black Prison Demon Sect, both to practice and to kill enemies.

"Huo Yunjie, you have caused countless slaughters, you are a sinner through and through!"

"Huo Yunjie, you deserve to die!"

"Huo Yunjie, on behalf of the Recluse Genius Youngsters Alliance from ancient times, I have come to kill you to prevent further slaughter."

Several shouts came.

Immediately, a young prodigy at the Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor level arrived to kill, followed by dozens of prodigies above the fortieth layer, all with a bone age less than ten thousand years.

"It’s you!"

Huo Yunjie’s expression changed.

Recently, hundreds of top-tier prodigies mysteriously appeared across the universe, all under ten thousand years in bone age, with a cultivation level over the fortieth-layered Immortal Emperor.

Huo Yunjie originally thought these top-tier prodigies had nothing to do with him.

But who knew they actually wanted to kill him!

"I’ve slain only Immortal Emperors from the Black Prison Demon Sect, each and everyone guilty of heinous crimes. Why are you stopping me? Could it be you cannot distinguish right from wrong?"

Huo Yunjie said in a deep voice.

"Die!"

But what greeted Huo Yunjie was not the voice of these top-tier prodigies, but countless sword lights, blade shadows, mountain river treasured seals, and other terrifying attacks.

"Damn it!"

"You are determined to kill me!"

Huo Yunjie realized that these people were indeed here to kill him. At first, he couldn’t understand it, but after thinking it over, he felt these prodigies probably saw him as a threat to their position.

Once they kill him, they would have one less powerful competitor, increasing their chances of proving the Dao.

He had no idea that these individuals were, in fact, Immortal Emperors of the Black Prison Demon Sect!

"Infinite Golden Light!"

Huo Yunjie held a sword with one hand and clasped a sword seal with the other, struggling to form a golden domain in front that successfully blocked most of the Immortal Emperors’ assault.

"Die for me!"

Unexpectedly, another Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor level prodigy attacked from the side, spitting out a sharp Sword Qi that instantly penetrated Huo Yunjie’s chest.

"Pff!"

Huo Yunjie spat out a mouthful of blood, swiftly swinging his sword towards that Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor, but the opponent smirked strangely and flew away, dodging the attack.

"Encircle and kill him!"

Another Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor sneered.

Their group, joining forces, included Immortal Emperors with cultivation levels between forty to fifty, sufficiently formidable to hunt even Fifty-layered Immortal Emperors.

Meanwhile, Huo Yunjie, just a Thirty-seventh-layered Immortal Emperor, although capable of exerting King-level nine-star combat power, could only fight a Forty-five-layered Immortal Emperor with One-Star King’s prowess at best.

"Kill!"

This group of Immortal Emperors sneered, persistently attacking from afar, not giving Huo Yunjie any chance to get close.

A moment later.

Rip!

One of Huo Yunjie’s arms was severed by a Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor, the wound on his chest widened, blood gushed out, and it seemed he could no longer hold on.

"So, you’ve decided you must kill me?"

Huo Yunjie held the sword with both hands, coldly eyeing the present Immortal Emperors.

"Of course, we must kill you."

"You are a top genius, a King-level nine-star power. If we don’t kill you, how can we establish ourselves as victors?"

"Even Ye Feng cannot interfere, otherwise that would be a violation!"
