Chapter 2834: Man Not Even a Beast

Liao Tianyang moved first, suddenly accelerated, and rushed toward that Unified Realm Martial Cultivator.

The Martial Cultivator immediately sensed the killing intent, leapt into the air, and intercepted Liao Tianyang in mid‑air, clearly not wanting Ye Liuyun and the others to interrupt their robbery.

The Martial Cultivator and Liao Tianyang were evenly matched, fighting with no clear advantage. A clone then shifted Heishan to the Martial Cultivator's side, letting Heishan also strike, together taking down the Martial Cultivator.

Ye Liuyun and the others surged straight to the city's sky and first flung the Magic Vine downward.

"Help us keep those robbers in sight, release them bit by bit. We're practicing!" Ye Liuyun ordered the Magic Vine, then charged at a Sevenfold Sovereign robber. The others each went to find their own opponents.

The Magic Vine first burrowed underground, then extended countless vines, encircling all the robbers,

Bai Hu saw the numbers were large, released the Bai Hu Legion as well, and practiced together. Biquku

Chi Lian transformed into a human shape, staying outside the Magic Vine to absorb the robbers that the vines had trapped.

The Unified Realm Martial Cultivator, seeing that Ye Liuyun's side also had a Unified Realm Magic Vine, realized he was no match and turned to flee into the starry sky.

"Chase, must kill him!" Ye Liuyun unhesitatingly ordered Heishan and Liao Tianyang.

Thus the two pursued from left and right, chasing while flanking the Martial Cultivator.

Both were equipped with Storage Yuan Stones, so in battle they would certainly outlast the Martial Cultivator. Moreover, their strengths were comparable, so the Martial Cultivator would inevitably be exhausted before them.

Seeing those few strong ones employ Spatial Power to chase in the starry sky, Ye Liuyun relaxed and devoted himself to slaying the ground robbers with full force.

He also captured a few Soul Searches, learning that the robbers came from a star system with many Unified Realm Martial Cultivators. Recently, one of their Martial Cultivators had broken through to the second layer of the Unified Realm and, fearing other Unified Realm strong ones would surpass him, began attacking some Unified Realm strong ones.

Originally over a hundred of them had fled with that Unified Realm Martial Cultivator. Afterwards they spent the journey robbing, expanding their ranks, acquiring resources, and have now grown to over a thousand.

However, when they left here, they would not take all thousand; those of weaker realms would be killed, and they only recruited Zhuanzai Jingjie late‑stage Martial Cultivators. Those

Zhuanzai Jingjie Sixth Layer and below Martial Cultivators were merely coaxed in for use.

"These robbers are utterly wicked; you need not be polite, be sure to kill them all!"

Ye Liuyun didn't care whether these robbers were brought by the earlier strong ones or later summoned; in any case they were wholly evil, and Ye Liuyun had no intention of keeping them.

Everyone happily slaughtered them. After one batch was killed, the Magic Vine released another batch. By the end, the people around Ye Liuyun dwindled, all having exhausted True Essence and returning to cultivate, preparing to breakthrough.

Heihu grew fiercer with each battle, replenishing his True Essence by defeating opponents and devouring Yuan Dan. That murderous momentum was quite similar to Bai Hu's.

Ye Liuyun examined its Yuan Dan and True Essence with his Golden Pupil, finding it was indeed not far from the Unified Realm. He then decided to nurture it properly.

In the ensuing battle, Ye Liuyun helped Heihu devour the Souls of several Martial Cultivator strong ones, boosting its Divine Soul Power.

The remaining fighters kept battling until only a few robbers were left, everyone exhausted, when Ye Liuyun helped the group devour their Souls.

Chi Lian had also absorbed enough Bloodline Power. This time Ye Liuyun had her distribute the surplus Bloodline Power to Heihu.

Heihu was flattered and surprised, not expecting Ye Liuyun to have raised both its Divine Soul Power and its Bloodline Power.

Moreover, it sought revenge for the monster beasts, and Ye Liuyun fulfilled that, slashing every robber without exception; now only the strongest Unified Realm Martial Cultivator remained.

After the battle, Ye Liuyun gathered everyone into the Space World, withdrew with Heihu outside the city, awaiting Heishan and Liao Tianyang's return. Through Liao Tianyang's and Heishan's Slave Seals he learned that the Martial Cultivator had now exhausted True Essence, could no longer run, and Heishan and Liao Tianyang would soon be able to eliminate him.

However, what Ye Liuyun did not expect was that some Martial Cultivators inside the city, seeing Ye Liuyun's group also fatigued and lacking strong protectors, actually organized over two hundred strong ones and surrounded Ye Liuyun.

They did not realize that the Unified Realm Martial Cultivator strong ones had been driven away by Ye Liuyun's side. They also could not discern the Magic Vine's realm, assuming it was merely a special plant.

"What do you mean?" Ye Liuyun asked them puzzledly.

"Hand over the resources those robbers stole from us, and we'll let you go!" an elder led, saying.

Ye Liuyun's mouth dropped open in shock, and he asked with a wry smile: "I saved you, yet you not only fail to thank me but come to rob me?"

A young man beside the elder retorted slyly: "Those resources were originally ours. You needn't worry, we won't take much, just reclaim what belongs to us!"

"Heh, repaying kindness with hatred?" Ye Liuyun smiled lightly and retorted: "What if I don't hand them over?"

"Why bother! You're already exhausted. Don't sacrifice your lives here over some resources!" the elder, pretending to be kind, urged Ye Liuyun.

Heihu could no longer stand it, low‑growling, baring his teeth at them, his battle spirit soaring.

Ye Liuyun thought to himself: "These people are truly not even beasts. No wonder Liao Tianyang said that after a Human Martial Cultivator reaches the Unified Realm, further advancement is the hardest. It must be because human hearts are too complicated!"

He gently patted Heihu, comforting him: "You're already tired from fighting, take a rest!"

The elder still thought Ye Liuyun was about to concede, and smiled, nodding.

But Ye Liuyun suddenly flicked his wrist, releasing the Magic Vine from the Storage Ring. Once out, the Magic Vine emitted Unified Realm pressure and then used its vines to encircle those Martial Cultivators.

Only then did those Martial Cultivators realize that Ye Liuyun had a strong companion, a strange Unified Realm Monster Beast.

The leading elder immediately apologized to Ye Liuyun, even offering resources to make amends!

"Too late!"

Ye Liuyun not only had the Magic Vine encircle those strong ones, but also instantly unleashed a hundred thousand Demon Race army to besiege the city, then gave a single command.

"Raze the city!"

He wanted those Martial Cultivators to regret to the core, watching their own kin inside the city be annihilated.

"Roar!" All Demon Race soldiers shouted in unison, excitedly charging into the city.

"No! We realize our mistake!"

"It's our greed, we accept punishment! Please, young master, show mercy!"

"The civilians inside are innocent; if you wish to kill, kill us!"

These Martial Cultivators also pleaded in a chorus. The city's people were their kin, and they hadn't anticipated that their greed would bring a cataclysm upon the entire city.
