Chapter 1684: Frenzied Battle with Corpse Demons

Ye Liuyun and his clone both donned armor at this moment.

Facing so many Corpse Demons of the Tianzun Realm, they also had to ensure proper protection.

Otherwise they wouldn't be opponents.

Sure enough, when the Corpse Demons came up, a barrage of attacks rained down on them all at once.

The two continuously dodged while counterattacking, using Space Translocation to surge into the midst of the Corpse Demons, constantly shifting positions to avoid being swarmed.

Ye Liuyun's Demon Slaying Sword was most effective against the Corpse Demons.

His clone also employed Buddha Light Power, and its performance was decent.

Of course, the two also took a lot of hits.

If it weren't for the armor bearing the blows, in a short while the two would have collapsed to the ground.

The Martial Cultivators who hadn't arrived yet were also dealing with the Corpse Demons that burst out, so they couldn't rush over in time.

The truly powerful Corpse Demons were all here with Ye Liuyun; the ones outside were merely bait, of low realm and weak strength.

But they were still some distance away, and had to stop to slay Corpse Demons and harvest yuan cores, so their speed naturally couldn't be fast.

Ye Liuyun and his clone were also fighting desperately at this point.

Attacks from all directions were beyond what they could block.

They were relying entirely on the armor to bear the blows.

All their attention was devoted to killing Corpse Demons, one per strike.

Qiankun Palm kept being swung, slapping the Corpse Demons.

In a short time, a large swath of Corpse Demons was slain.

However, the armor of Ye Liuyun and his clone, constantly bearing attacks, began to show signs of cracking.

"Ka!"

The armor on Ye Liuyun was the first to emit a cracking sound.

Ye Liuyun and his clone could no longer worry about the armor; they would block as much as it could.

Now only relentless melee remained.

The two also began to fight while retreating outward, trying to get closer to the Martial Cultivators, but their progress wasn't rapid.

The Corpse Demons kept intercepting them.

"How much longer until we arrive?

The armor is cracking!"

Ye Liuyun urged Qiong Qi.

"Hold on a bit longer, we're almost there! If not, just use the Formation Plate to block!"

Qiong Qi was also racing desperately.

He knew how sturdy his self-forged armor was.

Ye Liuyun had only been fighting for a short while before the armor gave way, showing how fierce the attacks were!

"No need for the Formation Plate yet, hold on!"

Ye Liuyun and his clone were also cheering each other on, trying to rely as little as possible on external aid.

"Boom, boom, bang, bang..."

Countless attacks rained down on the two like raindrops.

The armor on their bodies, especially the chest, back, and shoulder‑arm areas, was already being knocked off.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun realized he couldn't hold on any longer and immediately threw out a Formation Plate.

"Switch bows!"

At the same time, he called out to his clone.

The two each produced a Vajra Divine Bow and a Bloodthirsty Demon Bow, firing arrows outward from within the Formation Plate.

But the Formation Plate couldn't withstand the onslaught of so many Corpse Demons and collapsed quickly.

Ye Liuyun simply set up another seven or eight Formation Plates, trying to block another wave.

He and his clone kept drawing bows, then used Space Translocation to shuttle Storage Yuan Stones back and forth, promptly replenishing Mysterious Origin.

When these Formation Plates were about to be exhausted, the two paused briefly, used Storage Yuan Stones to finish replenishing Mysterious Origin, and donned Divine Rank armor again.

Once the Formation Plates were all shattered, the two once more charged forward wielding their swords.

This time, Ye Liuyun also released the nearby Yellow Sand Stone Man and several late‑stage Tianzun beasts.

That was all the forces around Ye Liuyun capable of joining the battle.

All other strengths were too weak; sending them out would only be suicide!

The beasts and the stone man used divine artifacts to block attacks, shouldering much of the pressure for Ye Liuyun and his clone, at least preventing them from being attacked from front and back.

Especially the Yellow Sand Stone Man, whose two long spears swept in unison, essentially blocked the attacks behind Ye Liuyun and his clone.

Ye Liuyun and his clone's rate of slaying Corpse Demons increased greatly.

The air was filled with the "puff" of blades striking Corpse Demons and the booming of armor being hit.

A few late‑stage Tianzun beasts, after killing several Corpse Demons, were swarmed and torn apart by the Corpse Demons.

In such dense combat among Tianzun elites, without extremely strong defense, one simply cannot block attacks from all directions.

Although they possessed divine artifacts, they could only fend off attacks from one side; a moment's lapse and they'd be hit by Corpse Demons.

Their only role was to temporarily divert many Corpse Demons away from Ye Liuyun.

Only the Yellow Sand Stone Man, following Ye Liuyun's orders, wielded its two long spears in an impenetrable dance, not attacking, merely shielding Ye Liuyun and his clone's backs.

The three stood back‑to‑back, advancing and retreating together, which proved even safer.

Ye Liuyun and his clone had long since stopped counting.

All that was before his eyes were Corpse Demons, and he couldn't even trace them.

They only knew to kill Corpse Demons on sight, striking with a blade and then following with a palm.

Each time True Essence was about to run out, they immediately replenished it with a Storage Yuan Stone.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun discovered that the Mysterious Origin inside the Storage Yuan Stone had also been exhausted.

Ye Liuyun and his clone, to conserve Mysterious Origin, could no longer even use Qiankun Palm; they could only rely on blade intent and Buddha Light Power to fight the Corpse Demons head‑on.

The two had no idea how many Corpse Demons they had slain, but suddenly noticed that fewer Corpse Demons were before them, and the attacks from the Corpse Demons were no longer as relentless.

Their Divine Rank armor had long since shattered again! Their Physical Body had been battered and clawed by Corpse Demons, becoming a mass of mangled flesh.

Just as Ye Liuyun was about to dismiss his clone and don the Hunting Demon Armor, he suddenly realized that there was no longer any shadow of a Corpse Demon before him.

He hurriedly turned, intending to help the Yellow Sand Stone Man eliminate a few opponents behind him, but found that there were no Corpse Demons in front of the Yellow Sand Stone Man either; turning back again, his clone had also finished the fight, cleaving the last Corpse Demon with Yi Dao.

Then the clone also turned to help them, wearing the same expression as Ye Liuyun.

Only then did the two look around and see that the bodies strewn haphazardly across the ground were all Corpse Demon corpses.

"Did we kill all of them?"

"How long have we been fighting?"

Both asked the question simultaneously, but then they both burst into laughter.

They had been far too tense just now; a moment's carelessness could have let these Corpse Demons finish them off, and the two had forgotten everything, fighting purely on instinct.

The Yellow Sand Stone Man had been battered into fragments, though his vital points were unharmed; he would have to wait for Qiong Qi to arrive before he could be repaired.

Ye Liuyun collected it.

At the same time he sent his clone back into the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate Mysterious Origin.

He then released the Metal Puppet, ordering them to gather Yuan Pills.

He simply slumped on the ground, panting for a while, then took out a Spirit Stone to absorb and restore Mysterious Origin.

Just after he finished absorbing, he noticed a Martial Cultivator rushing over.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun immediately rose, fearing the Martial Cultivators might seize his loot.
