Chapter 3182: Abundant True Essence

Li Konghan was the first to be killed by a Technique from Ye Liuyun. He knows that as long as Li Konghan dies, the remaining who wish to surrender will no longer be bound by the contract's restriction.

After Li Konghan's death, the strong soldiers around him did not surrender immediately, but clearly the fighting was no longer as desperate as before.

Ye Liuyun led his team to withdraw and block Li Konghan; Qin Mu also reacted at once, realizing that Ye Liuyun lacked enough troops to encircle Li Konghan.

Considering that Ye Liuyun originally had few pursuers, all elite soldiers, they thought Ye Liuyun only wanted to scare them away and then focus on besieging Li Konghan.

Qin Mu immediately ordered his unit to halt, then chased after Ye Liuyun to kill. He thought Ye Liuyun's elite soldiers were both the Warship that bombarded them and the pursuers, so True Essence should be nearly exhausted. Fighting the remaining soldiers of Li Konghan would also deplete True Essence.

He hoped to take advantage and turn the tide. If lucky, he might even rescue the army under Li Konghan.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense noticed that Qin Mu not only did not retreat, but also brought troops to chase back, and his mouth curled up.

Qin Mu's approach would be fine against ordinary army soldiers. But his soldiers are equipped with Storage Yuan Stone, so they don't care about that consumption at all.

Ye Liuyun only silently reminded his soldiers to consume and replenish simultaneously, always be ready to fight again. Even if they annihilate Qin Mu's and Li Konghan's armies, they must be prepared for enemy reinforcements.

Therefore his five thousand elite soldiers prepared to face at least four or five waves of Ninefold Strong opponents; some of Qin Mu's slain scattered soldiers are merely slightly stronger practice fodder for them.

Opposite Li Konghan's deployed thousand soldiers, as soon as they emerged they realized Li Konghan had been killed. Moreover, the over one hundred soldiers at the front suddenly vanished, frightening the rear troops into an immediate halt.

But they surveyed the battlefield and found the ground army already surrounded by enemy forces, with five thousand Ninth Realm soldiers there, encircling the ground elite soldiers.

In the air, the approaching forces were Ye Liuyun's five thousand elite soldiers. On both sides, Monster Beasts wielded Black and White Light, sweeping continuously, causing large swaths to fall, leaving no escape.

When Li Konghan was alive, they had no choice but to carve a bloody path for him. Now that Li Konghan is dead, their desperate fighting is useless and only invites even more savage slaughter.

These people now lack command and immediately begin scattering toward directions they deem safe.

Ye Liuyun's five thousand soldiers immediately split into several units, corralled the fleeing individuals back, gathering them together. Those people now number only five or six hundred, and facing elite soldiers ten times their number, they surrender at once.

Although Qin Mu's army has returned to kill again, by the time Qin Mu arrives they will be nearly wiped out. They would not dare gamble their lives.

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered his soldiers to disperse and pull these Reinforcement Troops into the Space World. Those Reinforcement Troops attempting to bargain were killed on the spot, not even allowed to finish speaking. The remaining soldiers, at the sight, dared not utter a word and were instantly taken into the Space World.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun's elite unit has turned around, preparing to confront Qin Mu again.

When Qin Mu led his troops to charge again, he found Ye Liuyun's elite unit showed little fatigue or fear. He felt an uneasy sense of something wrong.

But now he is already too close; if he does not fight and flee, he will be pursued all the way by Ye Liuyun.

So he gritted his teeth and immediately ordered everyone to charge. His army had not formed proper formations, relying solely on numerical superiority to try to wear out Ye Liuyun's elite unit.

But Ye Liuyun only let out a cold laugh, used Time Power again, first to kill Qin Mu, then to capture the Ninth Realm guard elites beside him.

When Time restored, Qin Mu died on the spot, his Soul was devoured, and the surrounding guards were swept away by Ye Liuyun, leaving a large gap in the formation.

On Ye Liuyun's side, a line of Ninth Layer Late Stage soldiers launched the strongest attack toward them.

Then the second row of soldiers surged forward, another barrage, followed by the third and fourth rows, wave after wave of bombardment, nonstop, striking into their ranks.

After several rounds of bombardment, Ye Liuyun's army had also advanced close.

"Kill!"

Ye Liuyun led his soldiers in a unified shout, charging at the opposing army.

That orderly, resonant roar frightened the opposing soldiers, making them shiver. With Qin Mu dead, they lost all fighting spirit and immediately turned to continue fleeing.

Some Ninth Layer Late Stage elite soldiers wanted to avenge the Leader, but found Ye Liuyun's troops all dressed alike, unable to locate the Leader.

Regardless of whom they attacked, besides that person's counterattack, the other four beside them would also strike together, unleashing a stronger combined attack toward them.

These soldiers showed no sign of True Essence depletion, as if they possessed inexhaustible True Essence; often a single combined strike could eliminate one of their elites.

After several attempts, the elites in their ranks fell one by one; the remaining survivors could no longer withstand the assault and could only flee. Those who couldn't escape surrendered outright, but were casually taken into the Space World, after which those soldiers kept pressing forward, and they could not discern who the Leader was.

Monster Beasts also charged forward, surrounding a unit of Seventh/Eighth Level Realm soldiers and began to spar.

While Ye Liuyun commanded his troops to chase Qin Mu's defeated soldiers, suddenly several Martial Cultivators with strong Divine Soul Power attempted to ambush the Monster Beasts.

These were strongmen dispatched by Jiang Yuntian. Their attempt to ambush the women failed, being intercepted by a Second Clone, so they turned to attack the Monster Beasts instead.

What they didn't expect was that the Monster Beasts' Divine Soul Power was even stronger. Their souls, once surged into the beasts' Sea of Consciousness, could not emerge.

The Monster Beasts also devoured Dragon Soul and a lot of Divine Soul Power. Their own application of Divine Soul Power may be slightly different, but their inherent Divine Soul Power is not weak. Moreover, techniques such as Soul‑shaking Wave, flame, lightning, spatial overlap, and various protective methods have been cultivated, so the Sea of Consciousness's defense is strong; once a person's soul enters, it is a one‑way trip.

The ground army is the same; the Ninth Realm soldiers in Li Konghan's army were the first to surrender, followed by large numbers of Seventh/Eighth Level Realm soldiers.

By the time the mid‑stage Seventh/Eighth Level soldiers surrendered, Li Zhaoyuan's forces had already killed almost all of them. The Reinforcement Troops belonging to them, after the Leader was killed, surrendered even faster.

They were originally soldiers of the Feihong Xing system; their earlier surrender was forced. Now that the contract controlling them has become invalid, they immediately laid down their weapons, unwilling to fight their own.
