Chapter 2792: Must Fight
Ye Liuyun immediately stretched out his hand, stopping them from handing over the Storage Ring.
"Don't be hasty! Since we've met, it's fate. How about a spar? We'll pick the opponents for a one‑on‑one duel; if you win, you can keep your Storage Ring. If you lose, whether you keep your life is uncertain!"
Following Liang Xue's suggestion, Ye Liuyun let these people step out one by one to practice with them.
The bandit leader, with a mournful face, said: "If you choose the opponents, we're doomed to lose! We'll just hand over the Storage Ring outright; please spare our lives!"
Ye Liuyun smiled: "Rest assured, I will never let your people face someone of a lower realm than ours. That should give you some confidence, right?"
The opposing bandits, hearing that the chosen opponents wouldn't be of lower realm and not understanding Ye Liuyun's meaning, dared not reply.
Ye Liuyun was unreserved, immediately sending A Xing out, then pointed at an opponent—a Zhuanzai Sanchong Martial Cultivator.
A Xing is currently in the late Zhuanzai Erchong stage, about to reach Zhuanzai Sanchong; sparring with that slightly weaker Zhuanzai Sanchong bandit is perfect for practice.
"Young master, you want me to fight that woman?" the bandit was also unsure of Ye Liuyun's intention.
"Correct. If you win, we won't take your Storage Ring and we won't kill you. But if you lose, even if she can't kill you, I'll give you an extra slash!" Ye Liuyun, fearing the bandit wouldn't act, threatened him deliberately.
"These rules..." the bandit hesitated, feeling the terms were in his favor.
"If you don't want to fight, then fight me directly!" at that moment, the Vermilion Bird‑incarnate Martial Cultivator said.
"I'll fight, I'll fight!" the Martial Cultivator, seeing the Vermilion Bird at the Zhuanzai Eightfold realm, stepped forward immediately. He didn't want to clash with the Vermilion Bird; that would be courting death.
Regardless of Ye Liuyun's purpose, he insisted on winning first. Whether Ye Liuyun's words were binding could only be judged after the fight. He knew that losing would certainly mean death.
"Don't panic; the young master just wants to spar with us, so give it your all!" the bandit leader, having guessed Ye Liuyun's intention, directly warned the bandits.
The Zhuanzai Sanchong bandit immediately understood and at once drew
a knife, forming a strict battle formation.
"Beauty, please make your move!" the bandit politely said to A Xing, daring not to show any disrespect.
"Let me go first?" A Xing smiled, also drawing a knife: "Alright, just don't regret it!"
Speaking that, A Xing activated his knife intent and slashed forward.
Her knife intent was all taught by Ye Liuyun; although far weaker than Ye Tiandao's, it still made killing a bandit quite easy.
Moreover, she used her full strength, all her knife intent, combined with True Essence and Demon Qi, and slashed. The opposing bandit, also wielding a knife, was completely suppressed and couldn't even lift his blade.
With a startled "Ah!", A Xing's slash split him in two.
A Xing reached out, retrieved his Storage Ring, stood with the knife, and did not return to Ye Liuyun, clearly ready to fight again.
A Xing had cultivated a Dual-Element Pill; that slash only used the True Essence inside one pill. Moreover, they possessed Storage Yuan Stones, so fighting a few more rounds was no problem.
The bandits stared dumbfounded.
"That's not a beauty, she's clearly a female demon!" some bandits thought to themselves.
They saw A Xing split a person in two with a single slash without blinking, and thought she was overly ferocious.
In fact, the people around Ye Liuyun had experienced countless major battles, far bloodier than this. Seeing such a small skirmish, they barely reacted.
"You!"
Ye Liuyun raised his hand and pointed at another Zhuanzai Sanchong bandit.
The bandit, frightened, shrank his neck and waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't beat you! I concede!"
"Oh? Not fighting means death!" Ye Liuyun reminded the bandit.
The bandit, in a sobbing tone, said helplessly: "If you hit me, it's also death!"
"Kill him!"
Ye Liuyun directly ordered the Zhuanzai Ninth three-eyed Foreign Tribe. The tribe emitted a brief Technique flash that instantly melted the bandit's head.
"You, come out!" Ye Liuyun immediately pointed at another Zhuanzai Sanchong bandit.
That bandit trembled, unable to think, and feared being killed outright!
"If you want to survive, the only way is to win!" Ye Liuyun reminded him.
Hearing that, the bandit steeled himself and swung his palm at A Xing. Worried he couldn't defeat A Xing, he used a surprise attack. A Xing easily evaded with Spatial Power, counter‑slashed, and
another blade slash toward the bandit.
The bandit reacted swiftly, dodged, and attacked A Xing again.
A Xing saw his quick reaction and strong Spatial Power, and immediately released Demon Qi, enveloping the bandit. The bandit was instantly shrouded by Demon Qi and nervously emitted Divine Sense to probe A Xing's movements.
But A Xing surged into the Demon Qi, launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on the bandit, and directly devoured his Soul.
When the Demon Qi dissipated, only the three-eyed Foreign Tribe's corpse remained in the starry sky. Even the Storage Ring had already been casually taken by A Xing.
"She's a female demon, absolutely a female demon!" the bandits feared A Xing, thinking her strength might not even match a Zhuanzai Sichong.
Ye Liuyun immediately pointed at another Zhuanzai Sanchong bandit.
The bandit knelt and begged for mercy, daring not to fight, and was directly killed by the three-eyed Foreign Tribe. Afterwards, Ye Liuyun pointed at another.
That bandit also dared not fight, fearing he was no match for A Xing.
"Stop stalling; do you want to be killed outright? Go fight, and you still have a chance to survive! At least you can give the next person a chance to live. After all, True Essence is finite; she can't fight indefinitely!"
The bandit leader directly scolded the Zhuanzai Sanchong bandit.
He seemed to understand that Ye Liuyun wanted to use them for practice; if they didn't please Ye Liuyun, they might all end up dead here.
The Zhuanzai Sanchong bandit had no choice but to step out and fight A Xing desperately. His strength was greater than the previous bandits, but unfortunately his True Essence was exhausted by A Xing, who then beheaded him.
After this battle, A Xing finally returned to Ye Liuyun's side and did not strike again. After all, the opponent was of a higher realm, her Storage Yuan Stone's True Essence was nearly depleted, and lacking confidence to win the next round, she simply gave up.
Next, Piao Yun, Lin Feier, Qing Yan, took turns, and only stopped after they had exhausted all the Zhuanzai Sanchong bandits.
One bandit with relatively solid True Essence won a round against Piao Yun. Ye Liuyun then let him stand on the other side.
The other bandits, seeing that winning meant survival, immediately felt hopeful. Moreover, that bandit had badly injured Piao Yun with a palm strike, but Ye Liuyun did not blame her; he simply sent Piao Yun into Space World for healing.
