Chapter 1812: Those Who Block Me Die

Ye Liuyun and his companions stayed in place for two hours, until they had killed every Martial Cultivator nearby cleanly; then the clone returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to rest and swapped Ye Liuyun out.

In the dense forest, the ten‑li radius around them had been reduced to scorched earth, not even a large stone remained; everything had turned to powder.

Ye Liuyun recalled Lei Ming and the others back into the Xuan Kong Shi, letting them return to recover their True Essence; he then proceeded forward with Xiao Yunfang and Quan Zhicheng.

Xiao Yunfang and Quan Zhicheng were so shocked that they dared not speak to Ye Liuyun, silently keeping pace behind him.

The road ahead was smooth, but before they could exit the dense forest, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected hundreds of Martial Cultivators gathering at the foot of the mountain, including several Fourth Realm Martial Cultivators.

He guessed they were all waiting for Yin Soul Mountain to yield a great treasure.

On Yin Soul Mountain, lingering yin energy swirled, forming layers of dense mist.

Because the distance was greater and the obstructions more numerous, Ye Liuyun could not see the situation on the mountain clearly.

"Stop cultivating!"

Ye Liuyun suddenly halted.

He needed to let Lei Ming and the others fully recover.

He presumed another major battle lay ahead.

He himself also returned to the Xuan Kong Shi and began cultivating.

"What's wrong with him?"

Xiao Yunfang and Quan Zhicheng, seeing Ye Liuyun's cautious expression, felt somewhat worried.

Nevertheless, they still drew out the resources they had gathered, striving to restore themselves to their peak condition as quickly as possible.

Ye Liuyun and his clone at this moment simultaneously absorbed the Mysterious Origin from the Storage Yuan Stone, preparing to immediately break through the Third Realm Late Stage for the upcoming battle.

Directly absorbing the Mysterious Origin from the Storage Yuan Stone, his Mysterious Origin replenishment speed was, of course, very fast.

His cultivation realm quickly broke through to the Third Realm Late Stage.

Subsequently, he and his clone immediately consolidated the realm, absorbed Divine Crystals, and refilled the Storage Yuan Stone.

This process was not peaceful; Martial Cultivators frequently came to harass them.

Ye Liuyun would simply release his clone, using Spiritual Soul Attack or cloaking it with an Invisibility Cloak for assassinations, minimizing disturbance to avoid attracting more Martial Cultivators.

The Yin Souls of Yin Soul Mountain have been howling increasingly frequently these days, likely heralding a major event.

Ye Liuyun had only managed to cultivate for three days, and the Storage Yuan Stone was not even half full.

But to prevent trouble at Yin Soul Mountain, he could only let his clone continue cultivating Mysterious Origin.

The others had prepared for battle, yet Ye Liuyun made them keep cultivating, striving to break through their realms.

He himself only took Xiao Yunfang and Quan Zhicheng, hurrying toward Yin Soul Mountain.

Xiao Yunfang and Quan Zhicheng, seeing Ye Liuyun's solemn expression and hearing the Yin Souls' howls, sensed danger ahead, yet never spoke of retreat.

When their Divine Sense also perceived the situation ahead, they finally understood why Ye Liuyun's expression was so solemn.

"We can't go any further!"

Xiao Yunfang called out to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun and his two companions were at this moment also spotted by others.

But no one took them seriously.

There were only three of them, and the displayed realms showed that only Xiao Yunfang's was at the Third Realm Late Stage, posing no threat to them.

"Exactly! If we go out there, it would be nothing short of a death sentence!"

Quan Zhicheng also added his counsel.

Ye Liuyun also halted, saying to Xiao Yunfang and Quan Zhicheng, "I must go.

But you two can now retreat.

I won't blame you!"

Having said that, he continued forward.

The Yin Soul Mountain ahead might involve a major conspiracy of the Foreign Tribe; he must investigate it thoroughly, and even with countless dangers ahead, he would not halt his steps.

Xiao Yunfang watched Ye Liuyun's back, her long spear in hand switched to the fifth‑grade long spear that Ye Liuyun had given her, and then silently followed.

"Fine! Killing one more is profit for me!"

Quan Zhicheng let out a sigh and also followed.

That actually caught Ye Liuyun off guard.

He halted again, reminding the two, "This time, I truly might not be able to look after you! You could die here!"

Xiao Yunfang said nothing, but stood firmly beside Ye Liuyun, conveying everything with her demeanor.

Quan Zhicheng, however, laughed, "As a Mortal Realm Martial Cultivator, reaching this place is already quite difficult.

But I hope you can keep going, so that the Divine Realm can see that we Mortal Realm Martial Cultivators can also create miracles.

I lack that ability; perhaps I myself cannot even leave the City of No Guilt.

But you can.

Even if today I block a palm for you, take a blade, dying would be worth it!"

Ye Liuyun really hadn't expected Quan Zhicheng to say such words.

These past days, Quan Zhicheng had seen hope in Ye Liuyun, which prompted his huge transformation.

Previously, he thought it better to die than to survive miserably, taking each day as it came.

But Ye Liuyun's repeated miracles eventually made him believe that Mortal Realm Martial Cultivators can also create miracles.

Thus he would rather die than not, following Ye Liuyun to experience the glory of a Mortal Realm Martial Cultivator.

Xiao Yunfang's and Quan Zhicheng's actions indeed moved Ye Liuyun.

But being moved is one thing.

If a real fight breaks out soon, he truly might not be able to look after them.

Perhaps today is the last day they meet.

Originally, a feeling of sorrow also rose in his heart.

A weak Martial Cultivator's life is indeed worthless.

But Quan Zhicheng's words also made him feel that, even in death, he must die with great heroism.

"Fine! Today we'll kill for a thrill and show them the glory of Mortal Realm Martial Cultivators!"

Ye Liuyun shouted loudly.

The three of them together walked out of Mi Lin.

"Kid, you also came?"

Don't go forward any more.

That ahead is not a place you should go; come and stay with us!"

The talkative elder they had met while eating, upon seeing Ye Liuyun and the others, spoke up to warn them.

These Martial Cultivators were divided into two echelons.

Those of ordinary realms stood at the edge of Mi Lin, unwilling to advance.

The few Martial Cultivators standing ahead were almost all in the Fourth Realm.

There were also several major forces, each led by a Fourth Realm Martial Cultivator with a squad, standing ahead.

Obviously, they intended to seize the initiative.

If a precious treasure appears, they have the advantage of distance.

The Martial Cultivators behind, lacking strength, can only scavenge.

Ye Liuyun nodded at the elder to thank him for the warning, yet did not stop his steps.

Directly ahead, there was a Martial Cultivator suffused with Demon Qi, in the Fourth Realm.

Without turning around, he warned Ye Liuyun and the others: "If you're not strong enough, moving forward any further means death!"

Ye Liuyun, expressionless, said domineeringly, "Those who block me shall die!"

"Alas!"

The elder helplessly shook his head and sighed, "That kid insists on courting death!"

Many other Martial Cultivators, hearing Ye Liuyun's words, snickered.

"What a delusional frenzy this fellow has! Seriously seeking death?"

The few Fourth Realm Martial Cultivators standing ahead also laughed.

"Black Demon! Seems your reputation isn't enough! A Third Realm Martial Cultivator dares to treat your words as nonsense!"

Someone began to mock that Demon Cultivator.
