"It seems not everyone here is ignorant," the man in red said with a smile, glancing at his two companions. He was quite candid.
"That's right, we don't belong here. We are powerful beings from another great world."
Hearing this, Ye Yun showed a thoughtful expression. Judging by their strength, they likely didn't hail from a world subordinate to the Heavenly Domain. This left only one possibility: they were from a great world similar to the Heavenly Domain. Though it was just a guess, given their origin, it might very well be the truth...
Finally, Ye Yun looked at the trio and nodded slightly. "It seems you possess quite a bit of useful information. Will you surrender obediently, or shall I first pin you to the ground and thrash you, and then you surrender?"
The three exchanged glances at his well-intentioned warning and then burst into laughter. The man in red looked at Ye Yun, holding his forehead as he laughed heartily. "Hey, it seems you haven't grasped the situation. It's three against one now. Don't you even know where the advantage lies?"
"Well, I think the advantage is mine," Ye Yun said with a faint smile, showing no inclination to take these three seriously. In his eyes, these three outsiders were a gift package. If they truly came from a great world like the Heavenly Domain, they would undoubtedly possess a lot of crucial information for him right now. As for their strength, although all were at the peak of the Emperor tier, their auras didn't seem very stable. These three wouldn't even be able to defeat Xing Lian back then.
However, they clearly weren't convinced. The man in red's eyes gradually turned cold, and his tone became as frigid as ice. "Is that so? It seems I'll have to draw my sword to prove it."
"Indeed, that's what I'm thinking too..." Ye Yun tightened his grip on the God Slayer Sword.
Just then, the man in red in front of him conjured a black longsword in his palm, emanating a powerful dark aura. It was likely an Emperor Arm. The other two also revealed their weapons, indicating they had no intention of giving Ye Yun a one-on-one fight. After all, this wasn't playtime; if a group fight was possible, who would be foolish enough to engage in a one-on-one duel?
"Do you need my help?" Xing Wu glanced at Ye Yun. Although she hadn't reached the peak of the Emperor tier yet, she could probably hold off one of them without issue. However, Ye Yun had no intention of letting her take such a risk. He waved his hand and said with a light smile, "No need. Just seal off the surroundings, and don't let these three escape later."
"Understood. I've got this," Xing Wu nodded immediately, her delicate body retreating slightly. At the same time, the Celestial and Demonic Realm Map in front of her erupted with light.
"Scroll of the Celestial!" As she spoke, the abyss world, which had been utterly lifeless, began to teem with life at a visible rate. It transformed into a vibrant green, like a grove of Senluo Trees enveloping the entire Holy City. The Celestial and Demonic Realm Map, a treasure born from the Abyss Continent itself, hadn't been able to fully display its power in the Heavenly Domain, but here, it was like a fish in water!
This miraculous sight brought a gleam to the eyes of the many Abyss clan members trapped in the plaza. They had returned; it seemed they had truly returned, their former Lady Xing Wu!
The three peak Emperor-tier cultivators were also stunned by this massive change. "What a powerful artifact. We underestimated you." The red-haired man raised an eyebrow. "But that's all. We'll deal with this guy first, and then we'll have some fun with you!" With that, he turned and looked at the other two behind him. "Let's go together and take down that guy first!"
The other two nodded in unison. Then, the three of them dispersed, surrounding Ye Yun from three directions. Following that, powerful Xuan Qi erupted from them, each condensing formidable Xuan skills. Although they believed they held the advantage, they still needed to be cautious when necessary.
"Go!" With a command, the three attacked almost simultaneously. Their coordination was excellent; the three attacking together formed an interlocking formation. No matter which direction Ye Yun dodged, he would be surrounded.
However, Ye Yun had no intention of dodging from the start. "Your Xuan skills are not bad, but there are too many loopholes..." Ye Yun glanced at the three, standing still in his original position. Only the God Slayer Sword in his hand continuously swung out brilliant sword light around him as the three approached. There were no overly flashy sword moves; as the saying goes, the greatest principles are the simplest. Every seemingly casual sword strike from Ye Yun contained unimaginable and surging power. When it met the weapons of the attackers, a power capable of destroying stars erupted at the point of collision. The immense force from the sword edge instantly made their faces change drastically, and their bodies were jolted backward repeatedly.
"What's going on, this guy's power..." The man in red's face darkened, finding it hard to believe Ye Yun's unexpectedly immense strength. They naturally wouldn't know how long Ye Yun had trained under an extraordinarily formidable sword cultivator, allowing him to reach a level of power control second only to deities, even though he was only at the peak of the Emperor tier. This was the evaluation he had received from Ning Qianqin, who had said: "Not bad, not bad. With this, as long as you don't encounter true deities, no one in all the myriad worlds will be your match."
Not to mention that the three he faced now were merely peak Emperor-tier cultivators with rather unstable foundations. Ye Yun glanced at the three who had been repelled and said with a smile, "Is your attack over? Now it's my turn. Any objections?"
The three desperately wanted to say, "Yes, we object!" But Ye Yun gave them no chance to speak. The edge of his sword ignited with the dual blessings of the True Phoenix Flame and the Heavenly Law of the Sword! An incredibly terrifying pressure descended upon the entire Holy City with the appearance of these two forces. Since the opponents were not weak, Ye Yun didn't want to waste time and decided to go all out to end the battle quickly!
Ye Yun lightly tapped his foot, and his sword-wielding figure shot out like a fiery meteor, transforming into a blazing light that seemed capable of burning everything. With a single downward slash, the white-clothed man closest to him was engulfed by the torrential flames, knocked flying immediately and defeated. Then, the blue-clothed man was submerged by the overwhelming, crushing flames in the same manner. As for the man in red, seeing Ye Yun's attack approach, he initially tried to block it with his sword. However, as the destructive heatwave washed over him, his face contorted in shock. Without hesitation, he raised his hands, held his sword above his head, and shouted, "I surrender!!!"
