The grey-robed girl looked very young, yet Ye Yun noticed her cultivation had already reached the Saint realm.
She was currently relying on a flying sword artifact, fleeing at a great speed. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of him.
Upon nearing, she urgently pleaded with Ye Yun.
"You are the senior who just broke through to the True Saint realm, aren't you? Please save me, and you can have anything you desire afterwards!"
Despite her rapid escape with the artifact, her energy consumption was immense, and she was nearing her limit.
In her eyes, Ye Yun was her last chance at survival, and she couldn't afford to be hesitant.
Just as she arrived, and before Ye Yun could utter a word, five streaks of light followed closely behind. Five figures in black robes surrounded them.
Ye Yun glanced at them and raised an eyebrow. "Quite a few have come. Five Profound Immortal realm cultivators..."
At this moment, the grey-robed girl still looked at him with pleading eyes.
The five figures who had surrounded them, upon seeing Ye Yun, exchanged glances, none daring to make a move rashly.
After all, considering the anomaly that had occurred there not long ago, the person before them was likely a powerful cultivator who had just broken through to the True Saint realm, far beyond their ability to contend with.
Seeing Ye Yun looking at them, the leader of the black-robed figures spoke in a deep voice.
"Esteemed Sir, we are operating under the cloak of night. We request your cooperation. Do not act rashly."
Clearly, he was attempting to threaten Ye Yun with the name of this fearsome organization.
Ye Yun had indeed been contemplating whether to meddle in this affair, but upon hearing the other party announce their name, he became somewhat interested.
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and said, "Nightfall? You mean the organization once led by Xing Wu? Wasn't it destroyed?"
Upon hearing this, the man let out a cold snort.
"That is none of your concern. We advise you not to interfere. Otherwise, if you anger Lord Xing Wu, even as a True Saint realm cultivator, you will not escape death!"
The names Nightfall and Xing Wu, when combined, were indeed enough to deter many in the Heavenly Domain.
Especially since rumors had already circulated in the Heavenly Domain that Xing Wu, the Sword Emperor of Night who was believed to have been annihilated, had returned to the Heavenly Domain.
It was precisely for this reason that he felt somewhat confident in making Ye Yun retreat.
However, these words struck Ye Yun as somewhat amusing. He smiled faintly and gazed at him, saying,
"If you are indeed Xing Wu's people, then that's excellent."
"It so happens that I have a close relationship with Xing Wu. I spoke with her not long ago. How is she doing now?"
At these words, the black-robed man's expression changed instantly, and the others exchanged stunned glances.
None of them had expected to encounter someone who actually had a connection with Xing Wu.
"Everyone, retreat!"
The black-robed man secretly transmitted, and all five scattered and fled.
Seeing this, Ye Yun let out a cold laugh.
"Since you've come, it's the perfect opportunity to test my sword!"
He then glanced at Xiao Xue and the grey-robed girl.
"Wait here for now."
With that, he summoned the Divine Abyss Sword, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Utilizing the Divine Light Movement Technique, Ye Yun's form transformed into a speck of light, and he instantaneously appeared behind one of the figures, raising his hand to unleash a sword strike.
"This guy... how is he so fast?!"
The targeted black-robed man felt the killing intent behind him, his face turning extremely grim.
As he turned his head, attempting to defend himself, his pupils contracted.
He saw the surging sword energy, unleashed by Ye Yun's strike, transform into an ice storm that shredded everything in its path, engulfing him.
The next moment, under this storm, he was reduced to a scattering of ice shards.
"Truly a good sword..."
Ye Yun admired the Divine Abyss Sword in his hand, finding it utterly pleasing.
It was indeed an immortal artifact; even when used purely for sword techniques, it provided a terrifying amplification of power.
However, this scene did not instill fear in the other four black-robed figures. Instead, they all paused their escape.
"This guy isn't a True Saint realm cultivator!"
They couldn't tell before, but now that Ye Yun had unleashed his Profound Qi, the aura emanating from him made the leader of the black-robed figures realize the truth.
"He's also just a Profound Immortal realm cultivator! He almost tricked us!"
The black-robed man snorted coldly and immediately transmitted to the other three.
"Since he's only at the Profound Immortal realm, what is there to fear? Let's go together and finish him!"
"Four against one, the advantage is ours. I don't believe he can turn the world upside down!"
Although Ye Yun's previous attack was potent, it was largely a surprise strike. In a head-on battle, the outcome was still uncertain.
This was his calculation, as the mission was extremely critical for them. They had to take risks.
The others agreed, turning their bodies and launching attacks towards Ye Yun from the opposite direction.
"Die!"
All four unleashed their full power, each utilizing the divine abilities of immortal realm cultivators, their trump cards, intending to finish Ye Yun with a single barrage.
No matter how powerful Ye Yun was, facing four divine abilities simultaneously would surely result in him being injured.
"Immortal Binding Lock!"
"Moon Slash!"
"Soul Seizure Technique!"
"Meteor Shower!"
Instantly, golden chains, thousands of meters long, coiled and swirled towards Ye Yun, sealing off his escape routes.
Following that, a brilliant arc of light resembling a moon disc, seemingly capable of cleaving anything, descended towards Ye Yun along with the Immortal Binding Lock.
The Soul Seizure Technique also launched a direct assault on Ye Yun's spirit.
The final Meteor Shower conjured thousands of fiery meteors, raining down upon Ye Yun.
In an instant, four divine abilities converged, presenting an extremely formidable threat.
Their terrifying power was unleashed at Ye Yun's location, causing violent roars. The scorching heatwaves threatened to burn through the sky.
The leader of the black-robed figures, seeing that their attacks had all hit their mark, let out a cold laugh.
"I thought he was so powerful, but it turns out he's just..."
However, before the last word could leave his lips, his gaze froze.
From the center of the explosion, a figure slowly emerged. It was Ye Yun, who had been targeted by their combined assault, walking out completely unharmed.
Encircling him were two layers of light, one red and one blue, which had blocked their attacks, including the spiritual assault.
"Two Heavenly Artifacts?!"
The leader of the black-robed figures had a complex expression. Heavenly Domain artifacts were incredibly rare. For an ordinary Profound Immortal realm cultivator, even a top-tier Spirit Artifact would be exceptional. Yet, this person produced two Heavenly Artifacts at once.
Considering the intensity of their attacks, even a top-tier Spirit Artifact wouldn't have withstood them. However, Ye Yun's defensive barriers remained completely intact.
There was no doubt that these were two Heavenly Artifacts, one for physical defense and one for spiritual defense.
At this moment, Ye Yun dispersed the defenses of the Immortal Jade and Divine Blessing Jade.
"The power is indeed decent, and acceptable. But it's useless."
He looked at the stunned four figures, a slight smile on his lips.
"Now, it's my turn."
With that, he locked onto one of them and instantly unleashed a divine ability.
"Man and Sword as One, Divine Moon Sword Art!"
Streams of light enveloped Ye Yun, and under his head, the cold radiance of the moon gathered, flowing into the sword's edge at an extremely rapid pace.
As he was about to strike, the black-robed figure he had targeted became extremely pale.
He had witnessed Ye Yun's speed earlier and knew he couldn't escape. Thus, he decided to fight with all his might.
"Life Burning Technique!"
Red light emanated from the black-robed man, his eyes turning bloodshot, and his aura surging dramatically.
With his power now greatly amplified, his cultivation soared to above the sixth level of the Profound Immortal realm. He poured all his Profound Qi into his sword and swung it at Ye Yun, desperately trying to fight his way out of this predicament!
Then... evidently, he was no more.
