Chapter 3038: Strongers' Siege

"It seems my news has already spread. Then let them come; you needn't worry, I have a way to deal with them."

Ye Liuyun replied to Leng Qingxiao. He had already felt the pursuit of Martial Cultivators, and although he couldn't understand how the news spread so quickly, he didn't really care.

He has now captured more than ten Guiyi Seventh/Eighth Layer strongers, already possessing enough strength to handle those Martial Cultivators. Now Tang Xinyao and his own people have been recalled to the Space World. Those left outside are the captives he seized. With these people, he is not worried at all.

Even if a large number of Martial Cultivators dare to launch a strong attack on him, he will unleash firepower war chariots, wiping out as many as come.

Moreover, Magic Vine has, in recent days within the clone's Space World, broken through to Guiyi Eighth Layer; relying on the power around it, it can also handle many dangers.

Thus Ye Liuyun did not change his direction or route, continuing straight toward the deep‑sea trench.

In the deep sea, Ye Liuyun also sent his first clone to protect Long Nv, fearing someone might ambush her. The deep sea is not without danger, and the sea beasts that attack Long Nv are generally stronger than a blue whale. So Long Nv's danger is indeed considerable.

After the first clone descended, it also helped Long Nv capture a Guiyi Seventh Layer octopus, hiding beneath the blue whale to covertly protect them.

On the road ahead, the blocking strongers they encountered grew increasingly numerous. Ye Liuyun fought nonstop each day, refining his Mysterious Origin into a very compact form.

Then, he and his two clones took turns entering battle to train; after returning, they condensed the Mysterious Origin, so that in the future the three of them could breakthrough together.

The captives he seized also kept dying in battle. Yet he frequently captured some strongers as reinforcements, so his force consistently remained at a size of over thirty people.

His Spatial Power was improving at just the right time, at least helping him evade several Guiyi Seventh Layer strongers' attacks, sparing him considerable injury.

But the Martial Cultivators pursuing them kept following from behind, and their numbers kept growing. These people, seeing that the Martial Cultivators near Ye Liuyun were of very high realms, dared not act, waiting until they had enough numbers to strike together.

So Ye Liuyun didn't mind them following; he simply waited for them to gather enough people for a great battle.

Those people's realms varied, and they quickly amassed over 150 individuals, among whom were some family disciples led by strongers, all crowding together.

Seeing the numbers were about right, they surrounded Ye Liuyun and his group.

"It's about to begin!"

Ye Liuyun also sent the Monster Beast, Demon Beast, and Tang Xinyao and others out, to find suitable opponents to fight.

"Roar!"

The Monster Beasts revealed their true forms, and with a roar accompanied by Lei Ming, they opened the prelude to the great battle.

In this battle, each side's numbers were not large, yet the battlefield's scope was not small. Strongers require more space when fighting, and lower‑realm Martial Cultivators dare not approach them.

So the strongers mostly fought in the high skies, while those of slightly lower realms fought on the sea surface.

Ye Liuyun and his second clone went to find two Guiyi Sixth Layer Martial Cultivator trainees.

The other strongers were left to those captives to handle. His two Guiyi Eighth Layer captives also fought opponents of the same realm. Such stronger‑vs‑stronger fights are hard to kill the opponent in a single blow.

Both sides had roughly equal numbers of Guiyi Sixth and Seventh Layer strongers and Martial Cultivators, so now no one could spare help for him; his subordinates also lacked anyone to deal with ordinary Guiyi Sixth Layer Martial Cultivators, so most of those ordinary Guiyi Sixth Layer strongers set their sights on Ye Liuyun.

This was also the plan they had devised in advance, knowing they lacked this kind of combat power, so Ye Liuyun essentially had no chance to slowly practice various forces.

His Monster Beast, Demon Beast, and Tang Xinyao and others, being able to withstand attacks from Guiyi Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators was already good enough; they also couldn't attend to him.

He is now facing thirteen ordinary Guiyi Sixth Layer Martial Cultivators, so taking hits is unavoidable. The first clone and Long Nv also wanted to come up to help Ye Liuyun, but he stopped them, warning them to be wary of underwater ambushes.

However, after taking two initial bombardments, Ye Liuyun quickly adapted, fully unleashing his Spatial Power, slipping into the void, and began swiftly killing those Martial Cultivators.

He and his second clone first employed space compression, using a space lock to kill two Martial Cultivators, then used Space Translocation to forcibly move those two Martial Cultivators into his own Space World, planting a Slave Seal on them so they would go out to fight for him.

The remaining combat became much easier for him. Fighting these people, he knew his danger was low, so he did not employ Time Power.

During that time, a Martial Cultivator tried to poison Ye Liuyun, but it had no effect at all. There was also a Demon Cultivator; Ye Liuyun was too lazy to act himself, so he let the Sealing Demon Tablet absorb its power directly.

When only two opponents remained, he and his second clone each took one, and practiced Heaven and Earth Power.

But just as he began to relax, a Guiyi Seventh Layer stronger rushed at him, punching him skyward.

At the same time, the first clone, also underwater, discovered a Guiyi Eighth Layer Martial Cultivator accompanied by two Guiyi Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators, coming into the deep sea to ambush them.

These three Martial Cultivators had just arrived. They knew Ye Liuyun still had a blue whale, so they came underwater to scout, intending to subdue that blue whale first.

But upon seeing a black true dragon and a Martial Cultivator guarding here, whose realms were not high, they immediately charged at them.

The first clone then used Time Power to freeze time, planting a Slave Seal on the Guiyi Eighth Layer Martial Cultivator that was rushing closest.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun also sensed the first clone using Time Power.

Under this Time Power, his Soul would not be greatly affected, so he immediately released his own Soul, surged into the Guiyi Seventh Layer Martial Cultivator's Sea of Consciousness, and pulled its Soul over as well.

"This method isn't bad—one person uses Time Power, and the other two can take the opportunity to act simultaneously!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

Ye Liuyun and the first clone simultaneously planted Slave Seals on the opponents, ending the time freeze. The first clone and Long Nv, still underwater, began sparring with those two Guiyi Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators.

Long Nv, wearing blue sea battle armor, could easily handle one; the first clone took the other for practice. The newly subdued Guiyi Eighth Layer Martial Cultivator was sent by him to the sea surface to reinforce Ye Liuyun.

On Ye Liuyun's side, he immediately sent the newly subdued Guiyi Seventh Layer Martial Cultivator to assist the others in battle.

At this moment, a Guiyi Eighth Layer enemy, noticing that the Guiyi Seventh Layer Martial Cultivator's ambush had failed and had instead been controlled by Ye Liuyun, immediately threw out a treasure to block the opponent's attack, and then used Spatial Power to launch a surprise assault on Ye Liuyun.

He used Spatial Power, flashing to Ye Liuyun's side, originally thinking that with his Spatial Power, Ye Liuyun could not dodge at all.
