Chapter 1574: Gradually Wearing Down

Ye Liuyun saw Yan Tu and Yi Dao approaching the Wild Boar King, apparently intending to intervene and rescue it.

Thus he could only retreat to a distance, and the Wild Boar King consequently escaped the range of the curse attack.

However, the Wild Boar King's brain had already been scorched by anger.

Upon spotting Yan Tu and Yi Dao, it immediately charged and launched an attack.

"You're crazy?"

"We came to save you!"

Yan Tu shouted.

"It must be you two following me, secretly sabotaging me!"

The Wild Boar King roared at the two of them and even charged straight at Yan Tu.

"Idiot! Someone is secretly attacking you."

"Feel it now—has your attack lost its effect?"

"It's because we came to rescue you; that person was frightened away!"

Yan Tu hurriedly explained.

But upon hearing Yan Tu call it an "idiot," the Wild Boar King instantly grew even angrier.

It hated most being called stupid.

Although it sensed a bit and realized Yan Tu might be telling the truth, it now couldn't care less and just wanted to vent its anger.

Yan Tu dodged while defending, saying, "Come any closer and don't blame me for striking back!"

As the two fought, Yi Dao naturally had to split his attention slightly.

Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to slip into the void, approach the Wild Boar King, first slashing at Yi Dao with a blade, then launching a curse attack at the Wild Boar King.

The Wild Boar King had initially believed Yan Tu's words somewhat.

But now, when Yan Tu said he would retaliate, its life force began to drain again, so it truly thought Yan Tu was behind it and doggedly pursued him without letup.

Although its cultivation level was now inferior to Yan Tu's, its thick hide rendered it indifferent to his attacks, and it chased Yan Tu all over the place.

Yi Dao immediately sensed Ye Liuyun's approach and also felt his blade intent.

He raised his hand and released three sword qi in succession for defense and counterattack.

However, Ye Liuyun had by then been pursuing the Wild Boar King away from his vicinity; he wanted to draw his blade to attack Ye Liuyun, but no suitable opportunity remained.

Yi Dao also immediately gave chase to Ye Liuyun.

At this point, Ye Liuyun had already neared the Wild Boar King and began unleashing his curse techniques at full power.

&

Seeing Yi Dao closing in, he slashed again to block him.

He then decided to desist, retreated far into the void, left the area, and ceased attacking the Wild Boar King.

At this moment, the Wild Boar King's cultivation had fallen to the eighth heaven peak of the Celestial Venerable realm, essentially rendered half-useless by Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also avoided prolonged engagement, lest he be trapped by them.

He intended to wear down these Yin Souls slowly, bit by bit, until they were eliminated.

After fleeing far away, he sneaked back again and observed them from a distance using his Golden Pupil.

He saw that, under the combined assault of Yan Tu and Yi Dao, the Wild Boar King had been beaten into submission, its temper gone and its anger subsiding.

Yan Tu and Yi Dao were also explaining to it what had just happened.

Afterward, Yan Tu praised the Wild Boar King, and its anger vanished completely.

It immediately agreed to Yan Tu's invitation to join them in searching for Ye Liuyun.

Thus, the Wild Boar King once again became their bait, leading the way and using its roars to lure Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun pondered, then made contact with his clone and the Asura within the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.

"I will later lure Yan Tu and Yi Dao away."

"You two cooperate and seize the chance to kill that Wild Boar!"

Ye Liuyun directly handed the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner to his clone.

He then circumvented the Wild Boar King and launched another sneak attack on Yi Dao from behind.

This time he struck first, using the Vajra Divine Bow for long-range attack, loosing seven or eight arrows at Yi Dao in succession while also casting curse techniques on Yan Tu.

"My life force is draining!"

Yan Tu immediately shouted.

Yi Dao ignored him, focusing entirely on deflecting Ye Liuyun's arrows, daring not to be distracted.

At the same time, he used True Essence to shield his vital force, lest Ye Liuyun attack him similarly.

Yan Tu and Yi Dao then charged together at Ye Liuyun, hoping to overwhelm him two-on-one.

Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, ran while using his bow to block them, gradually drawing them away.

The Wild Boar King had also wanted to give chase, but at that moment the Asura and several Yin Souls appeared within its Divine Sense detection range.

Eager to replenish its energy, it rushed forward, only to be led farther away by the Asura.

The Asura and companions lured it, continually dodging into a Side Courtyard; the Wild Boar King, without hesitation, followed and charged inside.

&

Afterward, the formation activated, and Ye Liuyun's clone also appeared in the Side Courtyard, launching a curse attack on the Wild Boar King.

At that time, the Asura, while circling to evade the Wild Boar King, struck it with his Golden Feather Plume; a flash of golden light hit the joint of its front hoof.

It, caught off guard, suffered a great loss, flopping down with a plop, landing face-first in the dirt.

Under Ye Liuyun's curse onslaught, its life force drained even faster, and its cultivation plummeted rapidly.

Taking advantage of its lowered cultivation, the Asura again fired his Golden Feather Plume straight into the Wild Boar's head.

The wild boar's head was originally very hard, but when its realm and vitality dropped, it could not block the Golden Wing Feather attack; Asura directly pierced a small hole through it, and it fell to the ground.

Asura, not stopping, launched another Golden Wing Feather, directly piercing the Wild Boar King's heart.

Furthermore, with Ye Liuyun's curse attack, the Wild Boar King's vitality was instantly drained, and its spirit body vanished at once.

Asura immediately retracted the Golden Wing Feather, and the avatar retrieved the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.

The avatar also gathered the Side Courtyard's treasures, went to meet with Ye Liuyun, fearing that Yan Tu and Gui Shou Yi Dao would rush to rescue the Wild Boar King.

Yan Tu and Gui Shou Yi Dao had long noticed that the Wild Boar King was missing.

But they never cared about the Wild Boar King; their target was Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun ran here and there, but could not shake off their pursuit, so he directly used the Black Tower to teleport back to the base he had prepared beforehand, and the avatar also rushed to the base to meet with him.

When Ye Liuyun took out the Black Tower and spatial power surged, Yan Tu and Gui Shou Yi Dao knew he was going to flee.

Gui Shou Yi Dao also couldn't care about the arrow shot by Ye Liuyun, risking being hit by an arrow, he swung a blade, hoping to trade wounds with Ye Liuyun.

However, Ye Liuyun's arrow contained Buddha Light Power, piercing a hole in his left shoulder.

Before being teleported away, Ye Liuyun also indeed took a blow from him; his back clothing was slit open, the flesh was cut, but the wound was shallow, with no bleeding.

"Phew! Close call! It's been a long time since anyone could injure my physical body; Gui Shou Yi Dao is indeed not simple!"

After appearing at the base, Ye Liuyun sighed.

In Gui Shou Yi Dao's blade strike, the yin energy was especially strong; Ye Liuyun could only dispel it using Buddha Light Power, after which the wound quickly healed.

Moreover, this blade was very strange, also containing spatial power, almost instantaneous to launch and hit, making it hard to dodge.
