Chapter 2827: Annihilation Once More
"Full force, blast through the Formation!" The opposing Leader, also impatiently urging the rear army to go all out in rescue.
Ye Liuyun at this moment waved a hand, ordering the Demon Race army forward.
The Demon Race army immediately began moving, marching in orderly ranks forward. Boom— Boom— the synchronized footstep sounds shook hearts to a tremor. The remaining Empire front forces were almost instantly devoured by them.
The opposing rear army of two hundred thousand pressed the attack on the trapped Formation without holding back, soon blasting it apart, but the rescued soldiers numbered no more than ten thousand; the ground was covered with a thick layer of charred corpses, the deaths utterly tragic.
"For our Xing Xi, to resist the Demon Race invasion, all forces, attack!"
The opposing Leader, upon seeing that, turned especially red‑eyed.
"Kill! Eradicate the Demon Race!"
He shouted at the front, leading the remaining army to charge toward Ye Liuyun and his group. As for Chi Lian, he was too lazy to bother, simply letting the army charge through.
But he hadn't expected that Chi Lian would again use Teleportation, reappearing within their army, continuously siphoning their Bloodline Power. Qiong Qi had set up more than twenty small Teleportation Arrays and Defense Arrays for Chi Lian, deliberately allowing her to teleport freely and endlessly absorb these people's Bloodline Power.
"Martial Cultivators in the rear, what are you waiting for? Join the fight!" The Leader immediately called the rear Martial Cultivators to deal with Chi Lian. He himself kept leading the army forward.
The Martial Cultivators behind the army also charged at Chi Lian. Seeing this, Chi Lian thought these Martial Cultivators possessed stronger Bloodline Power than the soldiers, so she stopped moving with the army and began siphoning the Martial Cultivators' Bloodline Power.
"Tiandao, strike!" At this moment Ye Liuyun also commanded Ye Tiandao to act.
Ye Tiandao immediately led those Martial Cultivator elites, charging forward to slay the enemy forces. Then the Monster Beasts beside Ye Liuyun, including the Vermilion Bird and the Bai Hu legion, also surged forward, ripping a huge opening in the opposing army.
The Ice Power they unleashed was instantly melted by the Vermilion Bird's flames.
"Roar!"
The Tiger‑Head Beast King also let out a roar, leading the Demon Race army to charge forward. The warcars and Puppet Beasts immediately seized the breach created by Ye Tiandao, continuing to tear apart both sides.
Several giant Demon Race warriors rushed over, swinging their spiked clubs in a sweep, clearing a path for the Demon Race army behind them.
Both sides roared thunderously, slashing toward the same spot.
Suddenly, thousands of Spirit Cat Warships appeared in the sky, continuously bombarding the Empire's rear army; each bombardment annihilated a bunch of soldiers, preventing them from maintaining any formation, turning the entire army into a scattered mass.
Some soldiers used Ice Power to form an ice wall, but they were too weak to block the warships' bombardments.
In fact, at this moment the Empire's army had already lost its numerical advantage, all fighting desperately to resist the Demon Race invasion.
"Silver‑Armored Legion, attack!" The Grand Leader issued another order, sending the Silver‑Armored Legion into action.
Ye Tiandao immediately exerted his full Blade Intent, snatching the sword from the Empire soldiers' hands and then blasting toward their Silver‑Armored troops. Afterwards, his clone performed another Blade Intent.
The entire Silver‑Armored legion was more than half wiped out by the two rounds of Blade Intent from the two of them, and the remaining few were no longer a threat.
Ye Tiandao waved his hand, and several Martial Cultivators of Dominant Ninth Tier immediately charged forward, striking the remaining Silver‑Armored soldiers.
Not long after, Chi Lian teleported back beside Ye Liuyun. Hundreds of the Martial Cultivators who had attacked her were sucked dry into desiccated corpses. Having reached her limit of absorption, she returned to release some.
Ye Liuyun and some of his companions simultaneously observed the battlefield and received the Bloodline Power she transmitted.
On the battlefield, the Demon Race army gradually formed a semicircle, aiming to encircle the Empire's forces.
As for those Martial Cultivators, they contributed little. By the time they surged to the front of the ranks, the Spirit Cat Warships had already bombarded them down to few. At the front line, warcars, Puppet Beasts and Energy Cannons killed another wave.
They were utterly unsuited to this kind of battle where attacks could come from any direction at any time; their Divine Sense couldn't keep up. Lacking coordination, they couldn't even defeat a few ordinary Demon Race soldiers; approaching them meant certain death.
Both sides were already locked in close combat. Ye Tiandao was fighting the opposing Leader at a spot. The Spirit Cat Station Warship had withdrawn, surrounding their army from behind to prevent escape.
Just as the battle seemed decided, Ye Liuyun's mouth curved upward, he looked up at the Xingkong, and simultaneously performed a Space Translocation, moving his clone into the Xingkong.
Within the Xingkong, from two small Flying Boats descended two squads of Martial Cultivators. Each had over a hundred members, led by a few Dominant Ninth‑Tier elites, with most members being Dominant Seventh‑Eighth‑Tier strongmen.
They disguised themselves as ordinary Martial Cultivator Flying Boats, appearing to watch the surroundings, and were now preparing to strike the Demon Race army on the battlefield and Ye Liuyun's group.
Ye Liuyun used Space Translocation to send his clone near a Martial Cultivator squad; the clone immediately wielded Time Power to freeze time, then began placing Slave Seals on the Martial Cultivators one by one.
After he finished his task and Time Power recovered, he again translocated Ye Liuyun into the Xingkong. The two used Golden Pupil to teleport each other, their coordination flawless.
Those Martial Cultivators originally planned to strike together toward Ye Liuyun's location, but just as they assumed their stance, Ye Liuyun again employed Time Power, beginning to place Slave Seals on all of them.
Soon, the over two hundred Martial Cultivators became Ye Liuyun's captives.
Later, the two returned again. The remaining Empire troops on the battlefield, seeing themselves surrounded by the Foreign Tribe with no escape, gathered together and used Ice Power to construct an ice wall, sealing themselves inside to delay time while awaiting rescue.
Ye Liuyun left behind those nearby who possessed Ice Power, and gathered the others into the Space World, rushing them over to absorb the Ice Power released by those soldiers.
The Demon Race army was all gathered up by Ye Liuyun, leaving only a few warcars, Energy Cannons, and Spirit Cat Warships, along with the Martial Cultivator elites he captured, to encircle the soldiers.
Then he leisurely absorbed the Ice Power they released, taking as much as the soldiers emitted, continuing until they were completely drained.
During this time, Martial Cultivators kept arriving to harass them, but were all eliminated by Ye Tiandao directing the Martial Cultivator experts.
Ye Liuyun and his companions spent half a month exhausting the soldiers inside, and only after the internal resources were depleted did they dismantle the ice wall and surrender. Yet even after their surrender, Ye Liuyun still ordered Chi Lian to drain the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers.
Some soldiers protested to Ye Liuyun, saying that having surrendered, they should not be killed!
Ye Liuyun replied indifferently: "You didn't surrender voluntarily; you were forced. If it weren't for wanting your Ice Power, I would have already sliced this ice wall open with Yi Dao!
You only made a small contribution to us before death. If you want to blame anyone, blame your own Empire for sending you to die!"
