Chapter 1520: Floating Up to Heaven

Ye Liuyun watched happily, but did not act immediately; he was still waiting for an opportunity.

At this moment, Luo Tianming and the others in the valley leapt into the air one after another, dodging the poisonous smoke below.

Suddenly, a martial cultivator's head was directly cut in half.

Then, martial cultivators screamed as their arms were cut off at the shoulder and they fell down.

At this time, Luo Tianming and the others saw that some extremely fine threads, carried by crossbow bolts, were shot from one side of the mountain wall to the other.

Those crossbow bolts that had just flown overhead were ignored; now they realized that the crossbow bolts were not the goal, but the arrangement of these threads was.

Many martial cultivators had been drugged and poisoned; although some doses were not fatal, in their panic they all quickly took to the air, using their own strength to crash into the threads and be sliced by them.

Thus, some martial cultivators picked up their weapons and began to clear the threads.

Ye Liuyun and his clone then began to shoot arrows, specifically targeting those martial cultivators clearing the threads.

Above their heads, threads were everywhere.

If these things were not cleared, they would not dare to rush into the air to attack Ye Liuyun.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun and his clone used the Shadow Concealment Secret Art, shooting an arrow and then changing position, making it impossible for them to find their location.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun and his clone also secretly used Space Translocation to store the dragon elephant corpses into the Space World as meat reserves, without delay.

Ye Liuyun seized the opportunity and shot an arrow at Luo Tianming.

Luo Tianming did not dodge or evade; he took the arrow head-on.

"It seems this guy also wears a protective treasure under his outer clothing!"

Ye Liuyun was not surprised by this.

At that moment, he no longer wasted time attacking Luo Tianming, but instead tried to kill as many other martial cultivators as possible.

Seeing the chaos and heavy casualties in the valley, the dragon elephant soldiers immediately began to retreat, not expecting to retreat into a formation at the valley entrance.

The ground suddenly collapsed, revealing upside-down spears below.

The gravity within the formation continuously pressed those soldiers toward the spears.

At the same time, crossbow bolts kept shooting from both sides.

In the end, nearly five hundred soldiers and dragon elephants had no survivors.

"Go back!"

The Soldier Leader shouted loudly, leading the soldiers who had not yet entered the formation to retreat back into the valley.

"Well done!"

Ye Liuyun could not help but praise, and began to use spatial power to collect the dragon elephant and soldier corpses.

On his side, after a brief separation, many martial cultivators broke through the threads and prepared to charge forward.

At this point, he calmly returned to his clone, activated the Heaven-wandering Boots, and swiftly withdrew.

Because he and his clone had been using the Shadow Concealment Secret Art all along, even after he had left for a long time, those martial cultivators were still searching for their traces on the cliff.

Some high-realm martial cultivators also began to break formations with force, dismantling one by one the formations and mechanisms set up by Meng Zhangxing.

These people finally walked out of the valley.

After coming out and counting, the number of martial cultivators had decreased by one-third, and many still bore injuries; some still had the effects of drugs or poison not fully worn off.

The dragon elephant soldiers suffered the heaviest losses, with nearly half killed in action.

Moreover, many of the dead dragon elephant and soldier corpses had also disappeared.

"These damned bastards! If I had known earlier, I would have just killed them outright!"

Luo Tianming, having been ambushed, felt suffocated in his chest and felt ashamed.

He did not care about those casualties.

At this moment, he wished he could immediately catch up with Ye Liuyun and the others, tear them to pieces, and thus urged everyone to hurry on.

But now there are many wounded, all needing rest.

A Tianzun Realm martial cultivator advised: "They now have no way back; they can only keep going deeper into the Sunset Mountain Range.

Even if the flames ahead cannot kill them, that boundless burial ground will be their grave."

If Ye Liuyun and the others go further, they will encounter two extremely dangerous places.

One is the Volcano Cluster of the Sunset Mountain Range's flames; the other is the boundless burial ground spoken of by martial cultivators.

Ye Liuyun's map does not mark the name of that area, only marking it as a burial ground.

The Boundless Burial Ground is the most dangerous area discovered by the Empire's scouts; martial cultivators who enter never return.

Luo Tianming thought the same.

Moreover, looking at the condition of the wounded in the troop, if he pressed too hard, it would also cause dissatisfaction among some.

So he also had to endure and let everyone rest on the spot.

After Ye Liuyun withdrew, seeing no one pursuing, he went all out in the direction indicated by the Transmission Talisman.

The speed of the Heaven-wandering Boots allowed him to catch up with the group in over half a day.

"How is it?

What's the effect?"

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun, Meng Zhangxing asked.

Others also looked at Ye Liuyun with faces full of expectation.

After all, everyone had been busy for half a day and hoped to see some effect.

"Haha! You really have some skill!"

Ye Liuyun directly praised: "The effect is very good; I roughly killed one-third of their combat power! The combination of mechanisms, formations, and poison is simply superb!"

"Of course! I, the Young Master, am not simple either!"

Hearing this, Meng Zhangxing also became proud.

He was always being outshone by Ye Liuyun; finally he had a chance to show his face, so of course he wanted to show off a bit.

Then Ye Liuyun walked alongside everyone, explaining how those traps exerted their power!

Meng Zhangxing, on the other hand, was fully enjoying the feeling of being admired.

"These mechanism traps can actually cause such great lethal force against Martial Cultivators!"

A Ya also didn't expect that some ballista and spear mechanism installations could kill Martial Cultivators.

"The key is to use them in conjunction with Formation, poisons, etc., to bring out the advantage of the mechanisms!"

Ye Liuyun also said.

"Of course, every team member is someone I carefully selected! Each person has his use; when we work together, the effect will be even better!"

Meng Zhangxing said proudly.

"All right! I know you're amazing! If you keep being this proud, you'll get carried away!"

Luo Yun laughed and said to Meng Zhangxing.

Meng Zhangxing rolled his eyes at him: "You can't let me float a bit longer? I hardly have this chance to show off..."

Everyone chatted while walking, not in a hurry.

Because the Black Python had already informed Ye Liuyun, Luo Tianming's team was resting in place and did not catch up.

"If we go further ahead, are we about to reach the vicinity of the volcano in the Sunset Mountain Range?"

Guo Da asked.

"Yeah! Then I want to train there, I'm afraid I'll end up encountering Luo Tianming and his group!"

Ye Liuyun also said worriedly.

"What's there to fear! Then we'll rely on the terrain and wipe out another batch of them!"

Meng Zhangxing said indifferently.

"I think you're really getting carried away! They've suffered a loss once, will they fall for it again?"

Luo Yun retorted.

"That's not necessarily true! It depends on the scale of the layout!"

Guo Da, however, seemed to have everything under control.
