Chapter 3051: Death Threat

Those mist‑hidden evil spirits did not just sit and wait for death.

When they found they could not handle Ye Liuyun's Spiritual Soul Attack, they frantically besieged his Defense Array Plate.

This was already their last habitat; if they did not fight with all their might, they would have no retreat.

Their Divine Soul Power was not a match for Ye Liuyun's, yet their strength was by no means weak.

Ye Liuyun and his two clones, faced with the mist‑hidden evil spirits that suddenly surged to attack his Defense Array Plate, also gave their all, slashing all the souls of the evil spirits that rushed forward.

But he suddenly noticed that some mist‑hidden evil spirits were devouring the mist shed by their comrades to empower themselves.

Moreover, these mist‑hidden evil spirits hid behind other spirits, so Ye Liuyun could not reach them even when he tried to attack.

Clearly, these spirits possessed higher spiritual intelligence and were not so easy to deal with.

Ye Liuyun and his clones slashed with soul blades while using their Golden Pupil to unleash Nether Ghost Fire, scorching the mist‑hidden evil spirits until they howled.

The evil spirits bombarded the Defense Array Plate with a roar, shaking the Defense Array wildly and turning the scene into chaos.

Seeing the Nether Ghost Fire constantly being extinguished, Ye Liuyun immediately employed Spatial Power to seal off the surrounding space as much as possible, then released another burst of Nether Ghost Fire, incinerating all nearby mist‑hidden evil spirits.

One mist‑hidden evil spirit, while devouring a companion's mist, realized the space was sealed and that it had been ignited by Nether Ghost Fire; it let out a howl, shattered the sealed space, and lunged straight at Ye Liuyun's Defense Array Plate.

With a booming blast, the mist‑hidden evil spirit slammed into the Defense Array Plate at full force, and as it broke through, it was itself shattered.

The clone immediately followed by unleashing Golden Crow Holy Fire, burning all the mist in the surrounding space.

Ye Liuyun promptly set up another Defense Array Plate, resuming his defense.

The mist‑hidden evil spirits here were too powerful; he dared not be careless.

At this moment, the surrounding evil spirits all retreated beyond the detection range of his Spatial Power.

Ye Liuyun could no longer sense the mist‑hidden evil spirits, only knowing that they would not attack for the time being.

But unlike before, this time a wailing cry from distant mist‑hidden evil spirits echoed.

Ye Liuyun thought the sound came from those spirits being attacked.

Since he entered, the mist‑hidden evil spirits have only made sounds when under attack.

Now, only the stronger among their own kind could attack them.

Ye Liuyun furrowed his brow: "Could some mist‑hidden evil spirit be devouring its peers to grow stronger?"

Immediately, the few of them dared not wait any longer, unleashing Golden Crow Holy Fire and Thunder and Lightning Power at full strength, burning aimlessly in all directions; even a little burn would clear the mist, making it easier to locate targets.

For a moment, they indeed enveloped many mist‑hidden evil spirits.

The three of them slashed with soul blades, killing many more mist‑hidden evil spirits.

Their surroundings cleared, creating an even larger area.

All the mist was forced to the peripheral area of the cave.

Ye Liuyun and his clones kept releasing Golden Crow Holy Fire, but the subsequent attacks were evaded by the mist‑hidden evil spirits, scorching only some mist.

"Keep burning, incinerate the mist; what remains will be the mist‑hidden evil spirits."

Ye Liuyun sent a Transmission Voice to his two clones, urging them to continue using their Golden Pupil to release Golden Crow Holy Fire.

One Golden Crow after another surged toward the mist.

Suddenly, a grayish True Essence attack thundered against Ye Liuyun's Defense Array Plate.

With a boom, before they could intercept, the Formation Plate was outright destroyed.

"They've become stronger!"

Ye Liuyun and his clones both felt the force of that blow.

Thus the three of them immediately wielded Spatial Power together, surrounding themselves with layers of void so that attacks could not reach them.

At that moment, attacks from several directions of mist simultaneously hurled toward them from afar.

Ye Liuyun instantly countered, first unleashing Nether Ghost Fire at those mist clusters, locking onto the positions of several mist‑hidden evil spirits, then activating his soul blade to slash their souls.

He then used Nether Ghost Fire again, dispersing all the mist.

Immediately after, they continued stacking void around themselves to fend off attacks from other mist‑hidden evil spirits.

However, by the time they finished stacking void and burned again, those mist‑hidden evil spirits had already shifted positions.

"At least four remain!"

The clone was already keeping track of the opponents' numbers.

At this point, the howling from the mist rose again, likely indicating the mist‑hidden evil spirits were still devouring their peers to boost strength.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil flashed, and a Golden Crow immediately burned toward the source of the sound.

But he only saw a larger mist shadow dart away instantly.

Ye Liuyun sent the Golden Crow to chase the mist shadow, but it clearly failed to catch up as it escaped.

Yet the larger mist shadow he saw made Ye Liuyun and his two clones uneasy; evidently that spirit's power had grown.

"Use spatial compression, spatial slicing, and freely attack the distant dense‑mist regions."

Ye Liuyun immediately made a decision and began attacking at will.

But to their surprise, this attack proved highly effective.

Almost every dense‑mist region concealed a relatively strong mist‑hidden evil spirit.

These spirits were suddenly struck by Spatial Power; even if they were immortal, the mist on their bodies was greatly weakened by the sudden assault.

While they were attacking those mist‑hidden evil spirits, another attack suddenly thundered toward the Formation Plate, breaking through their defense in a single blow.

"There is a strong one among these mist‑hidden evil spirits!"

Ye Liuyun also warned his two clones.

The strong mist‑hidden evil spirit struck their Formation Plate twice, and its power clearly grew each time.

Once their Defense Array Plate was breached, other mist‑hidden evil spirits immediately launched attacks at them.

The attack power of these mist‑hidden evil spirits had already caught up with that of a ninth‑layer Martial Cultivator.

The space set up by Ye Liuyun and his group overlapped, and this time it didn't stop the attacks of those mist‑hidden evil spirits, which blasted them to their bodies.

Fortunately, the remaining strength was small, and they all shouldered it with their Physical Body.

At the same time, they also used soul blades and Nether Ghost Fire to slay several mist‑hidden evil spirits that had exposed their positions.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun and his two clones felt a sharp tightening in their hearts, each sensing the threat of death.

A massive cloud of mist surged toward them, and an attack shot out from that mist.

Ye Liuyun and his clones had no time to think further; they simultaneously emitted Black Light, striking the mist‑hidden monster's Sea of Consciousness.

With a booming "boom," Ye Liuyun and his two clones were blasted away, their bodies riddled with cracks.

If their Physical Body hadn't recently been greatly enhanced, they might all have been killed outright by that blow.

"This is definitely the power of Return to One Nine Layers Late Stage!"

Ye Liuyun assessed the strength of that strike and immediately took Life Spring Water to heal his wounds.

At the same time, together with his clones, he released the fifty Martial Cultivator strong ones, keeping them guard beside him.
