Chapter 300: The Counteroffensive Begins

Ye Liuyun once left a Divine Sense seal on Liang Xue. So whenever Liang Xue gets close, he can sense her.

Sure enough, Liang Xue arrived with more than thirty disciples supplied by the Water Moon Palace, cut a path open, and rushed toward Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun ushered them into his camp.

"What, you haven't been apart long and you already miss me?" Ye Liuyun asked, pulling Liang Xue.

It drew the crowd to cover their mouths and giggle.

Liang Xue's face flushed bright red at his words, and she coquettishly retorted, "Not at all! I'm only here by Water Moon Palace's orders to slay Corpse Demons."

"Young Master, you were the one who suggested we first come to reinforce Young Master Ye, yet you won't admit it!" a female disciple of Water Moon Palace exposed Liang Xue's statement, making her even more flushed, as if she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.

She immediately changed the subject. "I came with important news for you!"

Ye Liuyun smiled, "Alright, speak. I'm listening!"

Ye Liuyun kept holding Liang Xue's hand. Liang Xue struggled twice but couldn't break free, so she gave in.

"The six major sects have already dispatched elders and many disciples to the battlefield, aiming to seize this chance and crush the Corpse Demon Army in one blow. They may still need a day or two to arrive. I only brought a small group ahead to reinforce and to bring this news to you," Liang Xue said.

Upon hearing this, everyone became excited. A massive battle was about to unfold!

"Oh? Roughly how many did each sect send?" Ye Liuyun, somewhat surprised, asked hurriedly.

"Each sect sent at least fifteen Holy Realm elders and about two thousand Sea Transformation disciples," Liang Xue replied.

"Great!" Ye Liuyun and the others cheered together.

"Then what do we do? Can't we counterattack?" Mo Ya asked, worried that with more people his own fighting would diminish.

"Then we must fight even harder! And fight more arduously! We'll rally in one surge, drive the Corpse Demons back into the barbarian border, seize the pass, and then hold it! This mission is likely very daunting; what's your opinion?"

Ye Liuyun didn't claim full authority; after all, the task is daunting and will surely require sacrifices, so he sought others' opinions.

"We're fine!" Mo Ya, the most belligerent, said.

"We are as well!" Lin Feier said firmly.

"What about you? Will you join us?" Ye Liuyun asked Liang Xue.

"Of course, otherwise why would we be here! What, do you look down on us women?" Liang Xue shot him a glare and retorted.

"How could I dare! You're still not even here yet!" Ye Liuyun immediately pretended to be shy, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Some people unfamiliar with Ye Liuyun thought to themselves, "Is this still the Killer God? How different he is from the legend!"

In fact, Ye Liuyun has always been like this: exceptionally kind to his own, but utterly ruthless toward enemies.

After finalizing the attack plan, Ye Liuyun released Wu Qingcheng, Yu Er, and Ru Yue.

They endured a hard battle, then cultivated for about fifty days, and all advanced in realm.

Wu Qingcheng broke through to the Eighth Sea Transformation, Yu Er reached the Sixth Sea Transformation, and Ru Yue attained the Third Sea Transformation. Liang Xue saw this and was extremely envious.

"I just broke through to the Eighth Sea Transformation, and I didn't expect you all to have done the same?"

The others, upon seeing this, found it even more unbelievable! They concluded that anyone connected to Ye Liuyun eventually becomes a monster, with their realms soaring rapidly.

After everyone was ready, Ye Liuyun's counteroffensive officially began!

These past days, the Corpse Demons' Holy Realm and Sea Transformation elites had been heavily worn down by Ye Liuyun's forces; when Ye Liuyun surged forward, they could no longer hold. Especially, Ye Liuyun's Hell Mingshe's killing power was enormous!

Liang Xue, seeing that Ye Liuyun could soar and had already broken into the Holy Realm, felt happy for him. This brought him a step closer to seizing a top ten spot on the Holy List.

Their counterattack plan focused first on exterminating the Corpse Demons behind them. Thus, most Holy Realm combat power was assigned to sweep away the Corpse Demons encircling them from the rear.

Ye Liuyun himself led Lei Ming, Mo Ya, Lin Feier and a few Holy Realm disciples to draw the Corpse Demons' attention. More than thirty Corpse Demons, Demon Race, and Xuemo Holy Realm forces saw this as a chance to eliminate Ye Liuyun, so they ignored other battlefields and rushed straight at him, intending to wipe him out in one blow.

Over thirty attacks, aside from a few that tried to block Lei Ming, Mo Ya and the others, the rest converged on Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun wielded the Demon Slaying Sword in one hand, operated the Nine Dragons Mountain-flipping Seal, and simultaneously unleashed the Hell Mingshe to attack.

After the Nine Dragons Mountain-flipping Seal expanded, it could block many attacks, yet numerous still struck him.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The attacks hit Ye Liuyun, each emitting a booming sound.

But Ye Liuyun acted as if nothing were wrong. Even when wounded, he recovered quickly.

He never even defended; he killed anyone he could, eliminating the opposing Holy Realm opponents one by one. Several Xuemo disciples, seeing the unfavorable turn, tried to flee, but the Hell Mingshe targeted them first.

Ye Liuyun would rather let Corpse Demons escape than spare these people. When dealing with humans, they inflict damage even greater than that of Corpse Demons.

He first eliminated several Xuemo members, then turned to the Demon Race. As for the Corpse Demons, they knew no fear, so they didn't retreat but fought Ye Liuyun head‑on.

Thus, after wiping out the Xuemo and Demon Race saints, the remaining Corpse Demons became much easier to kill. Ye Liuyun dispatched them almost one per sword swing, quickly annihilating the high‑end Holy Realm forces.

Meanwhile, the rear of the whole force, most of the Holy Realm combat power, eliminated the Corpse Demon Army in large swaths, swiftly clearing the Corpse Demons behind them and then driving the two wings of Corpse Demons forward.

Subsequently, Ye Liuyun's side formed a line, herding the Corpse Demon Army toward the border, then constricting the two ends of the pass toward the center, squeezing the Corpse Demons out of the pass bit by bit.

The Corpse Demons' resistance was fierce, with heavy casualties on both sides. Ye Liuyun continuously manipulated the Mountain-flipping Seal to smash hard, trying to minimize the loss of the beasts.

Ye Liuyun's team suffered few human casualties, but the beasts kept falling.

From dawn till nightfall, Ye Liuyun's side finally pushed the Corpse Demon Army out of the pass and seized the city.

Each unit had lost over half its people; Ye Liuyun's beast contingent suffered losses exceeding two‑thirds, leaving just over a thousand beasts of varying realms.

"Take the time to rest; we still have to hold this place for a day."

Ye Liuyun himself led the beasts to guard the city, allowing everyone to go recover their True Essence.

He placed Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng, Yu Er, and Ru Yue back into Storage Rings, sending them into Xuan Kong Shi to recover. He also sent Lei Ming, Bai Hu, and Shi Yuan into Xuan Kong Shi for recovery.

Outside the city, the Corpse Demons kept assaulting, but their Yuan Dan Realm elite forces were few, so they had little effect and could not breach Ye Liuyun's defenses.

Ye Liuyun divided the beasts into three squads, rotating them on the walls for defense; for a while, the beasts got alternating rest and were much more relaxed.
