Chapter 1809: Ten Soul-Chasing Slashes

Lei Ming and the others were also left outside by Ye Liuyun, following him to gain experience.

After killing those martial cultivators, the group also suffered huge consumption.

After Ye Liuyun and the others finished cleaning the battlefield, they immediately changed locations, fearing other martial cultivators would target them again.

They headed toward Yin Soul Mountain, walking for nearly seven or eight days, with at least three or four battles each day.

Their group of seven or eight couldn't conceal their presence even if they tried.

Here, meeting anyone on the road almost always meant immediate combat; the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—was fully displayed.

Ye Liuyun and the others consistently showed an early Third Stage cultivation, fearing opponents would notice and avoid them, so they could gain more combat experience.

Xiao Yunfang didn't know; she still thought they were truly early Third Stage cultivators, just exceptionally strong fighters.

After Quan Zhicheng recovered, his clone also let him out to keep fighting, without slacking.

That day, Ye Liuyun led everyone to a mountain hollow, letting them rest a bit.

Ye Liuyun and his clone often took turns training, but their cultivation was still far from the late Third Stage, lacking a considerable amount of Mysterious Origin.

He had planned to train here for two more days before moving on, but unexpectedly, a martial cultivator wielding a long blade tailed them and followed.

"An early Fourth Stage martial cultivator!"

"Before that martial cultivator could get close, Ye Liuyun noticed him."

"However, he saw that the martial cultivator was alone, so he didn't rush to alert the others; he merely sent out his clone secretly to set up an ambush in preparation for a sneak attack."

"When the martial cultivator drew nearer, Lei Ming and the others also noticed him, but seeing Ye Liuyun remain still, they all tacitly stayed silent."

"There's a Fourth Stage martial cultivator coming over!"

"After Xiao Yunfang's Divine Sense detected him, she immediately jumped up and shouted a warning."

"Only then did Ye Liuyun rise to his feet and go out to meet him."

"Lei Ming and the others merely opened their eyes and looked toward that martial cultivator."

"Not so great! I saw you take down many martial cultivators, yet your vigilance is so poor—I don't even feel like killing you anymore!"

"That martial cultivator sent a voice transmission from afar."

"You could just leave! Maybe you'll live a few more days!"

"Ye Liuyun also sent a voice transmission, saying:"

"Your mouth is pretty fierce."

"But as Soul-Chasing Slash, I never let my prey escape!"

"That martial cultivator continued to approach calmly."

"With an early Fourth Stage cultivation, can you handle him?"

"Xiao Yunfang asked worriedly:"

"Ye Liuyun, however, smiled and countered: 'What if I can't handle him?'"

"Can you take him down?"

"You..." Xiao Yunfang was left speechless by Ye Liuyun's provocation.

"Although he had seen Ye Liuyun fight an early Fourth Stage martial cultivator before, he still gripped his spear and shield tightly, feeling that at least blocking one strike for Ye Liuyun would be good."

"Ye Liuyun silently drew his Demon Slaying Sword and walked toward Soul-Chasing Slash."

"I've heard of you; you seem to be a famous expert from Innocent City!"

"Soul-Chasing Slash also nodded in acknowledgment: 'Not bad.'"

"Kill me, and you'll become famous."

"But I admire you—daring to face me with only an early Third Stage cultivation!"

"After approaching, he planted his long blade into the ground and sized up Ye Liuyun from head to toe."

"Your sword is not bad—I want it!"

"Soul-Chasing Slash finally fixed his gaze on Ye Liuyun's sword."

"Hum!"

"The Demon Slaying Sword trembled, showing its contempt for him."

"Ye Liuyun also smiled and said softly: 'Then you're not worthy!'"

"Soul-Chasing Slash nodded: 'Commendable spirit! Draw your sword!'"

"I'll give you three moves!"

"Ye Liuyun had long used his Golden Pupil to see through him, thoroughly understanding his strength."

"All right, I accept!"

"He smiled slightly, slowly raising his sword, gathering power, and chopping down, as if in slow motion."

"Moreover, after the slash, no sword light was seen emanating outward."

"But Soul-Chasing Slash dodged sideways, and a black blade qi flashed from beneath his ribs, piercing out through his back."

"What strong sword intent and spatial power!"

"Soul-Chasing Slash also didn't expect Ye Liuyun's sword intent and spatial power to be so strong, and perfectly coordinated."

"This first strike left him somewhat careless."

"Moreover, Ye Liuyun's slash was infused with Demon Qi, and his wound surprisingly failed to heal immediately."

"He immediately raised his own long blade as well."

"\"How? You haven't even gone three moves, and you're already unwilling to let me have them? \""

"Ye Liuyun mocked."

"\"You're strong; I underestimated you! \""

You are strong, I underestimated you!

Soul-Chasing Slash acknowledges the Dao.

"But you still have to die!"

Soul-Chasing Slash said, raising the long blade, and slashed diagonally at Ye Liuyun.

He also shouted: "Ten Soul-Chasing Slashes!"

Ye Liuyun flipped his hand up, and a blade intent rose to meet it.

But Soul-Chasing Slash, without waiting for the two forces to collide, again issued a Yi Dao, and then another Yi Dao.

Next, it was Yi Dao faster than Yi Dao, Yi Dao more mighty than Yi Dao.

His blade intent, although not as strong as Ye Liuyun's, but True Essence can be much stronger than Ye Liuyun's, so using True Essence to compete with Ye Liuyun's blade intent can also be fairly matched.

Moreover, his blade intent is actually not affected by Ye Liuyun's blade intent.

Ye Liuyun initially also wondered why his blade intent couldn't suppress the opponent's blade intent.

But he soon realized that this guy's main cultivation is not blade intent, but True Essence.

Even if he holds a firewood stick, he can emit the same power.

When Ye Liuyun received his sixth strike, he felt his blade intent could hardly withstand it.

Thus he also merged with Mysterious Origin, and they fought up to the seventh strike.

But just as Soul-Chasing Slash was about to unleash the eighth strike, he should have mobilized more True Essence, yet suddenly felt his True Essence stagnate, causing this eighth strike he unleashed to be not as strong as the seventh strike.

As for the ninth strike, he hesitated again about whether to continue chopping, so this ninth strike's power was about the same as the eighth strike.

Originally, his ten-strike slash focused on each Yi Dao being stronger than the previous Yi Dao, but this interruption actually meant that Ye Liuyun had already broken his ten-strike slash.

His cultivation method relies on the cyclic use of True Essence, making True Essence boil more and more, and each time the True Essence drawn out becomes greater.

Finally, the tenth strike, even a Yi Dao can burst forth all his True Essence.

But now, interrupted by Ye Liuyun, he has no choice but to start over.

His tenth strike, too, was not unleashed again, and he simply stopped.

Just as he was about to start over from the beginning, Ye Liuyun gave him no chance.

Ye Liuyun also slashed Yi Dao after Yi Dao, each Yi Dao infused with Demon Qi.

Moreover, each Yi Dao used a different Spatial Power.

Blade aura emitted, near and far, some directly cut into his body by Ye Liuyun using Spatial Power.

Therefore, Soul-Chasing Slash also had to defend with all his might.

Regulating his Spatial Power to oppose Ye Liuyun.

Unfortunately, his Spatial Power still fell a bit short of Ye Liuyun's, and his body already bore several deep knife wounds that could be seen down to the bone.

His "Chasing Soul Ten Slashes" never got a chance to be used again.

Just coping with Ye Liuyun's attacks alone, he was already unable to keep up.

If he even dares to pause slightly, it could result in a fatal wound.
