"What?"
"How is that possible!"
"Senior Brother Yun Cong actually lost?"
"Even with the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, he still lost to this person. What kind of magic treasure is that whip in his hand?"
Exclamations rose from all around.
Inside, Xiang Yuncong was even more shocked.
He had long seen that the Soul Binding Rope in Yang Fei's hand was a top-grade magic treasure with immense power, which is why he brought out the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner from the start.
But he did not expect the power of that whip to be so terrifying, unable to resist even when he channeled the full power of the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner.
Fortunately, he hadn't been overconfident, otherwise, he feared he'd end up like Chai Xun.
While secretly relieved, he heard the sound of something slicing through the air again.
Xiang Yuncong was startled, knowing without looking that Yang Fei was swinging the whip at him once more.
He channeled his mana and curled his body under the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, avoiding direct contact with the whip.
Smack!
The explosive sound of the whip striking the air echoed again.
Xiang Yuncong felt his hand go numb, nearly unable to retain his grip on the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, which threatened to fly out of his hands.
Clenching his jaw, he forcibly held onto the handle.
Simultaneously, a domineering force crashed toward his Sea of Consciousness, almost breaking through by force.
Luckily, the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner's reflective effect deflected the attack for him.
"Be careful."
Just then, an urgent warning sounded.
Xiang Yuncong was startled, unsure of what was happening, and suddenly saw Yang Fei appear below him.
This person swung a blade at him.
Puff!
Xiang Yuncong quickly dodged, but Yang Fei shadowed him, the long blade slicing off Xiang Yuncong's left leg.
"Ah!"
The intense pain made Xiang Yuncong scream in agony and fear.
Yet, as he cried out in pain, his spiritual power scattered, and Yang Fei activated the Soul Binding Rope, the long whip coiling around Xiang Yuncong's waist and abdomen.
A domineering force swept through, instantly breaking into Xiang Yuncong's Sea of Consciousness, extracting the Primordial Spirit and soul.
In an instant, Xiang Yuncong fell into a death-like state, his body plummeting from the sky.
Yang Fei, having previously taken Chai Xun, did not glance at Xiang Yuncong's falling body, seized the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, and vanished again using instant teleportation.
Whoosh whoosh...
As his body disappeared, several flying needles and swords whizzed through the area he had just occupied, with several Foundation Establishment experts from the Flame Moon Sect coming to assist.
Seeing Yang Fei being forced back, one person quickly picked up Xiang Yuncong's body and, with a grasp from a distance, retrieved the severed left leg.
For Foundation Establishment cultivators, reattaching a severed limb is not difficult. Even at higher cultivation realms, they can achieve regrowth of the limb.
But reaching such realms requires reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
Xiang Yuncong was only at the later Foundation Establishment stage, unable to regrow a severed limb, but as long as the severed leg is preserved and reattached, it can work.
Meanwhile, after Yang Fei took Chai Xun, he captured Xiang Yuncong's Primordial Spirit and soul, severing a leg and retreating leisurely, the entire process taking merely a dozen breaths.
Returning to above the Mountain Protection Array, he looked at the crowd in the distance and laughed, "Who else wants to test my combat prowess?"
Cultivators from the Flame Moon Sect, Great Dao Sect, Zhong Family of Sunset Island, Feng Family of Fengtai, and He Family of Qingchuan, all Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, were filled with terror and horror, a deep and unexplainable fear and dread of Yang Fei surfacing within.
What exactly was in his hand that even the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner left by a Core Formation Master couldn't compete with?
First Chai Xun's soul was inexplicably taken, his body snatched, and then it was Xiang Yuncong's turn.
Even Xiang Yuncong's left leg was severed, and the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner lent by Master Li Yang was also taken.
These two, one a leading senior brother of the Great Dao Sect, the other the senior brother of the Flame Moon Sect, were both well-known Foundation Establishment stage experts in the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm, yet after reaching Earth, they were easily defeated by an earthly cultivator.
Though the few from the Flame Moon Sect took Xiang Yuncong's body, they couldn't awaken him, soon discovering Xiang Yuncong was suffering from Soul Loss Syndrome.
"Damn it, that brat's magic treasure can capture the Primordial Spirit and soul. Everyone, be careful."
"Indeed, Senior Brother Yun Cong is already soulless and cannot be awakened. Presumably, Daoist Chai Xun from the Great Dao Sect suffered the same fate."
"Even the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner can't withstand this whip's soul-capturing attack, I'm afraid the magic treasures we carry are even more fragile, what should we do?"
Everyone looked at each other, displaying expressions of terror and horror.
This fight simply couldn't be won.
As long as that person held that whip, he was invincible, unless someone could overwhelm him with superior strength, there was no way to contend.
For a moment, the sixteen Foundation Establishment cultivators from the five major sects and aristocratic families of the Southern Domain were at a loss with Yang Fei.
Within the Mountain Protection Array, the seven from the Lingxiao Sect watched as the cultivators from the Great Dao Sect, Flame Moon Sect, and the other three families were also crushed by Yang Fei, and felt a bit of schadenfreude for some reason.
If we from the Lingxiao Sect can't do it, neither can you from the Flame Moon Sect, Great Dao Sect, or the other three cultivation families.
This way, at least we won't be laughed at by these people.
Ye Wuya cleared his throat and coughed dryly, said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, hear me out."
Intimidated by Yang Fei's aura, the sixteen who retreated back to the Spirit Ship all looked to Ye Wuya.
Someone from the Great Dao Sect said, "Brother Ye, what on earth is going on?"
This person, named Wu You, had a fairly good relationship with Ye Wuya in private.
Ye Wuya sighed and said, "Brother Wu You, you should have seen, we from the Lingxiao Sect were also defeated by Fellow Daoist Yang Fei. Thanks to Fellow Daoist Yang Fei's mercy, we are still alive."
Wu You took a deep breath, showing some unwillingness on his face, but having seen the situations of Chai Xun and Xiang Yuncong himself, he had no choice but to believe what Ye Wuya said was true.
Aboard the Spirit Ship, other cultivators felt the same as Wu You.
They didn't want to believe that there existed a powerful cultivator on Earth who could crush them, but they had to face this harsh reality.
At least now everyone knew they were no match for Yang Fei.
Suppressing his complex emotions, Wu You asked Ye Wuya, "Who exactly is this person, clearly only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, yet possessing such formidable combat power?"
Ye Wuya replied, "He has already introduced himself to you. He is Yang Fei, an earthly cultivator. His realm is indeed only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, but he obtained the inheritance left by a super strong predecessor from a cultivation epoch on Earth, making his combat power far superior to what we know of the early Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, he acquired the magic treasure 'Soul Binding Rope' left by that predecessor, making him invincible below the Core Formation Master stage with it in hand."
"Soul Binding Rope?"
"Invincible below the Core Formation Master stage?"
"Inheritance from a strong cultivator of the last cultivation epoch?"
The crowd on the Spirit Ship gasped, their interest in this spiritually awakening planet piqued.
Ye Wuya continued, "Fellow Daoists, now that you have come to Earth and understand the situation here, Fellow Daoist Yang Fei will not let you leave, so why not, like us from the Lingxiao Sect, peacefully stay on Earth for now. Fellow Daoist Yang Fei will treat you well."
