Chapter 2435: Traveling Together

"You kid, stop showing off; wait until I'm healed and we'll fight again!"

Sha Erman shouted in protest.

"Sure! I'm ready anytime!"

Ye Liuyun echoed.

Sha Erman knew Ye Liuyun meant well, so he didn't refuse and simply collected everything.

And he truly wasn't lying; he really wasn't very wealthy.

He wasn't from a rich family; his resources were self‑accumulated, being able to cultivate on his own was already good, and he hadn't amassed any fortune.

Afterward, Sha Erman began restoring Mysterious Origin.

At this point, the injuries inside his body had almost fully healed.

"What did this kid give me to drink?

The healing effect is that good!"

He mused inwardly.

Not only his internal injuries, but even the surface wounds were beginning to heal.

Ye Liuyun stood outside the protective shield, keeping watch for him.

Although Ye Liuyun's sudden enlightenment was interrupted, his long‑term comprehension of blade intent was enough to upgrade the blade‑intent seed again.

This peak state of Great Achievement blade intent, after his blade intent was enhanced, allowed him to dispatch any beast that tried to attack him with a single slash.

Even beasts as massive as mountains and far stronger than him, when he applied a bit of Heaven and Earth Power, were split open with a single slash, unstoppable.

Weaker beasts before his blade intent whined, crawled, and trembled.

Thus, gradually only strong beasts dared to attack Ye Liuyun, and not one or two at a time; sometimes a small pack would appear.

Ye Liuyun was not frightened at all, brandishing the Demon Slaying Sword to slaughter all around.

Sha Erman, inside the protective shield, felt gratified, believing he had contributed to Ye Liuyun's blade‑intent improvement.

But he immediately thought that if he later fought Ye Liuyun, he might no longer be a match.

He instantly began to focus his energy on cultivation.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun outside also sensed how hard Sha Erman's protection was.

His blade intent was now stronger, yet beasts still often bypassed him to attack the shield.

Cultivation differs from sudden enlightenment; it can shield the senses and remain unaffected.

But the enlightenment process requires the protective shield to be undisturbed, showing how much effort Sha Erman exerted.

Thus after slaying beasts, he stored the meat as food reserves, and threw all the Crystal Stones straight into the shield.

When encountering robbers, the stolen Storage Rings were also tossed in.

Sha Erman indeed had a method to quickly restore True Essence; after a day, his True Essence fully recovered.

He opened his eyes to so many resources beside him and was stunned.

But seeing Ye Liuyun still continuously slaying beasts and tossing Crystal Stones inside, he immediately understood.

So he promptly put on the armor Ye Liuyun had given him and went out to help fight.

But he was shocked by Ye Liuyun's armor.

"This is a fine piece!"

He praised it inwardly.

The armor had double‑layered defense, and even the arms still bore a shield, fitting his habits perfectly.

He immediately took out the two defensive light spheres Ye Liuyun had given him and found they were high‑grade.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also finished off the beasts before him and began clearing the area.

"What are you standing around doing?"

Ye Liuyun saw him staring at the defensive light sphere and asked aloud.

"You gave me something rather valuable!"

Sha Erman felt a bit embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift from Ye Liuyun.

"Oh, you mean the item! No matter how good something is, it can't match your protective sentiment!"

Ye Liuyun didn't mind, telling him to collect the Crystal Stones on the ground, then come out to eat grilled meat.

"Do you still have these?"

Sha Erman was still uneasy, fearing Ye Liuyun would give him all the good resources.

"I still have them; feel free to use them!"

Ye Liuyun reassured him, so he gathered those items.

But he refused the Crystal Stones, saying, "These are all your own results; I can't take them!"

Ye Liuyun didn't argue, immediately collected the resources, and smiled, asking, "We can at least eat the grilled meat, right?"

"Haha, that's a must!"

Sha Erman laughed along.

Ye Liuyun immediately started grilling meat with Sha Erman, eating while fighting.

Some beasts were drawn by the scent of grilled meat; when few arrived, Sha Erman dealt with them, when many came, Ye Liuyun took over.

Both were in good spirits, their temperaments matching.

After this life‑and‑death bond, they agreed to travel together from now on.

Just as they were enjoying the meal, the aroma of grilled meat attracted a group of Martial Cultivators.

The group comprised twelve Martial Cultivators; half were strong like Liao Yunyang, and the remaining six were comparable to Sha Erman.

"Shall we avoid them first?"

When Sha Erman discovered them, he immediately reminded Ye Liuyun.

Actually, Ye Liuyun's Soul power is far stronger than his; he had already detected this group.

However, he instead felt it was just right, as it would allow him to capture more strong ones.

Especially those six strong Martial Cultivators; he definitely intends to make them his own.

"No need, my Space World also has people; I can deal with them!"

Ye Liuyun told Sha Erman the truth.

Sha Erman also relaxed, hurriedly finishing the remaining grilled meat in his hand.

Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, continued eating at a leisurely pace, as if he hadn't noticed those people at all.

When those people drew near, seeing that Ye Liuyun and Sha Erman showed no trace of fear, they were also quite puzzled.

The leader sized up their attire and couldn't help sneering, "A soldier, an assassin, still putting on airs here?"

The others joined in a bout of laughter.

"Hurry up and grill some meat for us; if we eat our fill, we might spare your lives!"

Another strong one also said.

Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun couldn't help laughing, holding up a freshly grilled piece of meat as if nothing were wrong, and asked Sha Erman, "You're already full—still eating?"

"Eat! Why not eat!"

Sha Erman took it and bit off a big mouthful.

"So fragrant!"

He also added a compliment.

"Playing tricks!"

One Martial Cultivator from the other side couldn't help exclaiming, stepping forward to attack.

Ye Liuyun, however, released the fourteen Martial Cultivator strong ones stationed beside his clones and incarnations, causing the twelve opponents to be dumbfounded.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

The opposing leader Martial Cultivator immediately changed his tone, wearing a fawning smile.

"Who's misunderstanding you?"

Ye Liuyun retorted.

One Martial Cultivator strong one from the other side, however, put on a brave front and said to Ye Liuyun, "You may be somewhat stronger, but if you think you can subdue us all unscathed, you will inevitably pay a heavy price."

"It would be better if we each step back; we'll leave some resources as compensation, and we can part ways here—how about that?"

"What?"

"Pay a price?"

Ye Liuyun smirked contemptuously, then released ten Metal Puppets, surrounding them completely.

At the same time, he and his clone launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on the two strongest Martial Cultivators in their group, instantly implanting Slave Seals on both.
