Chapter 301: Alien Evil Demon
Outside the border checkpoint, the remaining Corpse Demons kept attacking for a little over half a day, then could no longer mount an effective assault.
Ye Liuyun could finally rest completely.
At this point, the others had largely recovered their strength and all joined the defense, instantly boosting the checkpoint's defensive capability.
Seeing that they had recovered, Ye Liuyun put forward another idea.
"Instead of just holding this position, we should go on the offensive. I suggest forming a raid squad to strike the Corpse Demon territory. Perhaps we could even destroy the Foreign Tribe's Altar! Only those above the Holy Realm may join; those below the Holy Realm are too risky. What do you think?"
As soon as Ye Liuyun said that, someone immediately voiced agreement.
"Attack in place of defense, I agree! I'll join the raid squad!" Mo Ya was the first to step forward.
"I'll join too!" Lin Feier also stepped forward.
Other people wanted to join, but Ye Liuyun didn't let them.
"After all, defense is still important. The three of us, plus ten fierce beasts, makes the target smaller and more agile."
Later, Ye Liuyun packed ten Yuan Dan realm fierce beasts into a Storage Ring. Lei Ming leapt onto Ye Liuyun's shoulder and refused to get off, so Ye Liuyun had to take her along.
Before departing, Ye Liuyun gave the Formation Flag that Qiong Qi had left to him to Bai Hu, and instructed Liang Xue and Hao Chengfeng: "If a Heavenly Gang Realm strongman attacks the checkpoint, raise the Formation Flag for defense; don't fight head‑on."
Then Ye Liuyun slipped out of the checkpoint with Mo Ya and Lin Feier, quietly penetrating deep into the Corpse Demon territory.
Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense spread out, allowing them to evade countless Corpse Demon patrols. Even when they met small groups of Corpse Demons, they dealt with them swiftly, leaving none to escape.
The three of them flew through the air, crossing many cities throughout the night. Suddenly, Ye Liuyun sensed a city ahead exuding a strong evil aura, very similar to the Foreign Tribe aura he had encountered before.
Thus he concluded that a Foreign Tribe was present and that an Altar linked to them existed here. He didn't know their strength. Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil, though much stronger now, still couldn't see through completely, especially near the central Altar where the evil aura was overwhelming.
So he sent Hell Mingshe to scout.
Hell Mingshe's scarlet eyes and blood‑red core pulsed as it sensed information emanating from within the city.
"There is one at roughly the fourth‑fifth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, and two at the first‑second level. There are forty‑to‑fifty Corpse Demons of the Holy Realm. I can only sense their Soul power now. These Foreign Tribe are exceptionally strong; I estimate the strongest could match your Skeleton Puppet."
Hell Mingshe cautiously analyzed: "Moreover, the Foreign Tribe's aura here is especially dense; their Altar may have already opened a portal to their space. They could summon reinforcements at any moment."
Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then said: "We'll make some noise on the outskirts to draw them out and eliminate them one by one. If they don't take the bait, we'll retreat and avoid a head‑on fight. If we can first take out those two first‑second level Heavenly Gang foes, we can then face the strongest. I'll draw their fire; you two go destroy the Altar. Agreed?"
"Alright!" Mo Ya and Lin Feier both agreed.
Thus the three approached the city. Nearing it, Ye Liuyun first eliminated a Yuan Dan realm Corpse Demon, then fled the city.
Other Yuan Dan realm Corpse Demons heard the commotion and rushed over, only to be cut down one by one by Ye Liuyun and his companions.
Soon a Foreign Tribe of the Heavenly Gang Realm arrived. It was Mo Ya and Lin Feier's first time seeing such a being. This Alien Evil Artifact was covered in black scale armor, limbs like claws, fingers like hooks, its body twice the size of a human, with a beast‑like head, eyes as large as bronze bells, and two protruding fangs.
Ye Liuyun had previously destroyed a Foreign Tribe's Soul, so he was mentally prepared. He coordinated with Hell Mingshe; Hell Mingshe attacked the Soul while Ye Liuyun wielded the Demon Slaying Sword, slashing at the Alien Evil Artifact.
Mo Ya and Lin Feier also struck together, each swing failing to pierce its scale armor. Ye Liuyun, however, easily cleaved off one of the creature's arms with a single slash.
His Demon Slaying Sword, reinforced by a Golden Dragon, was not only sharper but also embedded with a demon‑driving stone, making it especially effective against such evil beings.
He aimed for the head, but the Alien Evil Artifact blocked with its hand, causing the hand to be cut off.
The creature let out a painful roar, alerting two other Foreign Tribe within the city. Ye Liuyun immediately delivered another blow, decapitating it, and with a swift slash extracted its Crystal Core.
This Foreign Tribe's Crystal Core resided in its head, unlike Corpse Demons. Hell Mingshe instantly devoured the creature's Soul.
"Damn, both came out together, what do we do?" Hell Mingshe asked nervously.
"Fight! You and the Skeleton Puppet jointly attack the strongest Foreign Tribe; I'll handle the weaker one first. Mo Ya, Feier, you two take the fierce beasts to destroy the Altar and use the beasts to block the Corpse Demons for us."
Ye Liuyun said this, releasing the fierce beasts and the Skeleton Puppet. He then rushed toward the two incoming Heavenly Gang strongmen and slashed at them.
Lin Feier murmured, "Can he handle a Foreign Tribe of Heavenly Gang level?"
Mo Ya simply replied, "Trust him!" and charged into the city with the fierce beasts.
Lin Feier gritted her teeth, drew her sword, and pursued. If time allowed, she truly wanted to see how Ye Liuyun slashed the Foreign Tribe.
Ye Liuyun single‑handedly faced a Heavenly Gang realm Foreign Tribe strongman, employing Buddha Light, Nether Ghost Fire, the Soul Domain, and the Nine Dragons Mountain-flipping Seal, continuously slashing with his sword, which proved highly effective.
The creature was terrified of Buddha Light and Nether Ghost Fire, and with the Nine Dragons Mountain-flipping Seal's defense, Ye Liuyun sustained little injury and cleaved the being in two.
On the other side, Hell Mingshe's Soul barely held against the fourth‑level Heavenly Gang Foreign Tribe, while the Skeleton Puppet's Buddha Light Power and Nether Ghost Fire clearly suppressed it, keeping the evil creature tightly restrained.
Until Ye Liuyun dealt with the reinforcements, the strong evil creature couldn't escape. Finally, a punch to its back chest from Ye Liuyun, powered by Buddha Light, melted a huge cavity through its body.
Seeing this, the Skeleton Puppet tossed its weapon and lunged at the Alien Evil Artifact, its Buddha Light piercing straight through the creature's body.
The creature's Soul was also eradicated by Ye Liuyun and Hell Mingshe, and was absorbed by Ye Liuyun's Thunder Fire Domain.
Hell Mingshe had recently absorbed many Souls, so it handed them over for Ye Liuyun to absorb. Ye Liuyun didn't have time to absorb them, so he simply recalled the Skeleton Puppet and rushed toward the Altar.
Lei Ming, bearing ten fierce beasts, was surrounded by dozens of Corpse Demons; at the first clash, half the beasts were destroyed. Fortunately, without the Alien Evil Artifact's command, the Corpse Demons were dim‑witted, only chasing the beasts and not pursuing Mo Ya and Lin Feier.
Lei Ming, with the remaining beasts, circled inside the city, drawing the Corpse Demons away. Once Ye Liuyun arrived, they counterattacked, slaying the Corpse Demons one by one.
