Chapter 1742: Tactical Application

The spectators outside were speculating about what tactic Ye Liuyun would use this time to fight these people.

The five Martial Cultivators also gathered and charged toward Ye Liuyun and his group, facilitating coordination and cover for each other.

Upon seeing them, Ye Liuyun immediately made adjustments.

"Lei Ming and I will block with Demon Qi; you listen to my Divine Sense for command and strike blindly with weapons!"

Ye Liuyun gave a signal to everyone, and instantly his whole body surged with Demon Qi.

Lei Ming also released Demon Qi, and in an instant it enveloped both his allies and the opponents.

"Bad! Can't see!"

The opposing Martial Cultivators quickly reacted, and the one at the rear tried to retreat.

Ye Liuyun would not let them escape; he immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack.

At the same time, he unleashed a Buddha-Demon Vajra from his divine realm to strike a Martial Cultivator.

Lei Ming also brandished the Great Scissors, cutting a Martial Cultivator cleanly at the waist.

The other women could not see, and merely held their weapons in front of them.

"Horizontal slash to the right front!"

Ye Liuyun used his Divine Sense to command Man Shu, who eliminated another probing Martial Cultivator.

At this moment, the Buddha-Demon Vajra also smote a Martial Cultivator dead, then Ye Liuyun retracted it.

Only one Martial Cultivator remained; hearing his comrades' cries, he panicked.

He had previously refrained from reckless attacks, fearing to hurt his allies.

Now, after a few more cries, he no longer held back and, aiming at where he imagined Ye Tiandao stood, delivered a palm strike.

Ye Liuyun, fearing Ye Tiandao was injured, stepped forward with his body, using his gilded armor to block the blow, and Lei Ming's Great Scissors arrived immediately.

Ye Liuyun also swung a blade, and together with Lei Ming's flanking attack, they sliced the Martial Cultivator into four pieces.

His Soul was not wasted; Ye Liuyun ultimately devoured it.

However, they did not immediately withdraw the Demon Qi.

"Everyone, be alert: the remaining team of two dual-level Martial Cultivators may act soon, and they won't give us a moment to breathe.

Lei Ming, note: in the next battle, you must use all your strength, releasing all Ice Power without holding back! Long Nv and Ye Tiandao protect Lei Ming.

Man Shu, reserve your strength for the final battle!"

While speaking, Ye Liuyun absorbed Mysterious Origin from the Storage Yuan Stone, then he and Lei Ming withdrew the Demon Qi.

When the Demon Qi had dispersed halfway, everyone saw that only Ye Liuyun and his four companions were still standing, and applause rose like a tide.

"Charge!"

At this moment, the Martial Cultivator who had previously looked down on Ye Liuyun and his group rushed forward with his men before Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming could fully withdraw the Demon Qi.

They wanted to deny Ye Liuyun's group any respite and eliminated them outright.

He thought Ye Liuyun and his companions were already largely depleted.

Especially Ye Liuyun—though he is only a mid-level Tier One, his strength is the greatest.

He judged that point quite accurately.

After three rounds of expenditure, Ye Liuyun's True Essence should be exhausted; this cheap opportunity, he could not ignore.

Pei Yong, seeing him charge forward at this moment, couldn't help but shake his head.

Both out of contempt for that Martial Cultivator and concern for Ye Liuyun's safety.

Moreover, this team's purpose was clear: to directly assault Ye Liuyun, while the two on the flanks evidently aimed to hold back the others, allowing the three to focus their initial attack on Ye Liuyun.

Yuan Tianyu had not yet recovered from the shock of Ye Liuyun's Demon Qi release, and his heart rose to his throat again.

Bai Muyu secretly rejoiced, "Look, you still haven't died this time!"

However, when they surged forward, Lei Ming released all his Ice Power, while Ye Liuyun employed the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to disrupt the early-stage dual-level Martial Cultivators, and simultaneously charged forward with his blade toward the three approaching Martial Cultivators.

"Kill!"

Ye Liuyun let out a loud shout and swept a full-force blade outward.

The blade, imbued with strong intent, also infused with Mysterious Origin and Demon Qi, struck as Lei Ming's Ice Power just took effect; while they were momentarily stunned, the blade cut through.

Lei Ming's Ice Power was originally not strong, but they did not expect him to release it, catching them off guard; their bodies were slightly frozen.

Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming's coordination timed perfectly.

Moreover, his Primordial Spirit Secret Technique affected the dual-level Martial Cultivator; a third of his True Essence suddenly could not be mobilized, and a layer of frost appeared on his face.

Thus, Ye Liuyun's blade, striking just as the three were being frozen, sliced all three at the waist.

The dual-level Martial Cultivator, unwilling to accept defeat, froze in place, sensed trouble, and immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on Ye Liuyun, but Ye Liuyun was not at all concerned.

Long Nv and Ye Tiandao immediately surged forward, tossing Lei Ming backward to Man Shu; the two then, in the same motion, charged at the remaining two lowest-tier Martial Cultivators, wielding blade and fork together for a single killing strike!

"Good!"

Pei Yong, seeing Ye Liuyun's tactical coordination, couldn't help shouting approval!

The audience throughout the venue kept cheering continuously.

At that moment, the last dual-level Martial Cultivator also led his team forward, likewise unwilling to give Ye Liuyun any breathing room.

The crowd, just as they began to cheer, grew tense again.

"These people are ruthless! They don't let them catch a breath!"

A Martial Cultivator sighed.

Yuan Tianyu, having just exhaled, felt his heart tighten again.

"Shameless!"

She added another curse.

At this moment, Lei Ming's True Essence was exhausted; he crouched at the rear of the formation, holding the Great Scissors in one hand, on guard.

Her crouching stance was also ready for transformation.

Long Nv and Ye Tiandao, Yi Dao and Yi Cha, stood in front of Lei Ming, defending for her.

Man Shu just stood still in place.

Ye Liuyun stood at the front of the formation.

He this time also had no chance to use Storage Yuan Stone to replenish energy, and could only rely on the remaining half of Mysterious Origin.

But in this battle, the key was not her, but Man Shu.

He only needed to use Primordial Spirit Secret Technique together with Man Shu to control those double‑layer Martial Cultivators, and they would have won.

This time the opponent had five people, still in the same formation as last time: three gathered together to charge at Ye Liuyun, while the two on either side a short distance away provided cover.

"Seal!"

Man Shu opened her mouth, and an extremely strong Ice Power swept over the five of them; at the same time, Ye Liuyun's Primordial Spirit Secret Technique was immediately applied to those double‑layer Martial Cultivators.

Simultaneously, Ye Liuyun charged the Demon Slaying Sword, pouring all the remaining Mysterious Origin into it.

"You better live up to it!"

Ye Liuyun sent a Transmission Voice through the Demon Slaying Sword.

"Buzz!"

The Demon Slaying Sword also emitted a buzzing sound.

"Swish!"

A blade flash swept out horizontally.

Ye Liuyun this time also performed a horizontal sweep.

But this time his single slash swept across the five opponents.

Man Shu's Ice Power was far stronger than Lei Ming's, and all her True Essence was Ice Power, which she unleashed instantly.

The five opponents, even if mentally prepared, used True Essence to start resisting, but they were still temporarily sealed.

The three highest‑level Martial Cultivators reacted quickly; seeing Ye Liuyun's blade flash approaching, they could not break the ice seal, and immediately released their Souls, together assaulting Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

And the five opposing Martial Cultivators were each split in two by Ye Liuyun's single slash.
