Chapter 3191: The True Strongman

Jiang Yunmo does not want Ye Liuyun's army to be wiped out, so while negotiating with Ye Liuyun, she unintentionally revealed a lot of the dynasty's movements to him.

Ye Liuyun originally didn't want to waste words with her. Ever since Jiang Yunmo terminated the equal contract with him, Ye Liuyun no longer regarded him as a friend or partner, only as a mutually utilitarian relationship.

But when he saw Jiang Yunmo's words, he still gave her a lot of information, so he patiently lingered with Jiang Yunmo, coaxing out all the information she knew.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun and his clones took turns to the Xingkong to monitor the situation; whenever anyone approached, they would instantly kill them without exception, lest someone use the Space World to bring people in and catch them off guard.

Finally, he ordered the army to leave only the camp tents, while the soldiers all returned to the Space World to cultivate and prepare for battle. He alone stayed in the main tent, awaiting the dynasty's strongmen to arrive.

He also wanted to spar with a Fire Seal Dynasty strongman, to see how great the gap in strength between him and those people really was.

The dynasty's Martial Cultivator strongman didn't keep Ye Liuyun waiting long; soon a Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivator appeared near the Xingqiu where Ye Liuyun was, while the first clone was stationed in the Xingkong monitoring the situation.

The first clone was practicing Heaven and Earth Power, using it to conceal itself within the Xingkong.

That strongman was still more than a shichen away from Ye Liuyun, and as if unintentionally, his gaze swept over the clone.

Although the first clone was spotted by him, it clearly felt a surge of Heaven and Earth Power sweep over it.

"He found me; looks like Heaven and Earth Power isn't weak!" the first clone immediately reported to Ye Liuyun.

Facing such a strongman, Ye Liuyun didn't dare be careless; he instantly halted cultivation and came out to meet the enemy together with his clones.

When that strongman spotted Ye Liuyun, he suddenly wrapped himself with Heaven and Earth Power and vanished into the Xingkong.

He was still relatively far from Ye Liuyun's position, and Ye Liuyun's Heaven and Earth Power wasn't as strong as his, so he could only use Divine Sense to probe and lock onto the strongman's location.

His Soul power has now become so great that it can even detect the various elemental forces in the air, so even if this person wraps himself with Heaven and Earth Power, Ye Liuyun can still perceive him.

He merely used Divine Sense to lock onto that Martial Cultivator strongman, feeling how he wielded Heaven and Earth Power. His Golden Pupil also saw the Martial Cultivator's appearance: a gaunt old man with a single goatee, who often ran his hand over it.

When he drew near, the first clone suddenly donned the Hunting Demon Armor, took out the Hunting Demon Bow, and shot an arrow. The Hunting Demon Bow and Hunting Demon Armor are a set; once the armor is worn, the bow's power is also amplified.

Ye Liuyun knew his Heaven and Earth Power wasn't a match for his, so he first used the Hunting Demon Bow to force him to reveal himself or wound him, then would duel him with Heaven and Earth Power.

But unexpectedly, the gaunt old man's surrounding Heaven and Earth momentum was too strong; although it also exposed his own position, the Hunting Demon Bow failed to injure him, as his surrounding Heaven and Earth momentum deflected it.

"What powerful Heaven and Earth Power!"

Feeling his Heaven and Earth Power, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but imitate it; with one palm he also mobilized Heaven and Earth momentum, slapping toward the gaunt old man.

"Hahaha!"

The gaunt old man, seeing Ye Liuyun's Heaven and Earth Power, let out a burst of mocking laughter.

"Such weak Heaven and Earth Power, yet you dare to strike!"

The gaunt old man immediately struck, a palm driving Heaven and Earth momentum toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's Soul power clearly sensed how he exerted force and mobilized Heaven and Earth momentum, so he instantly delivered another palm, channeling even stronger Heaven and Earth momentum to meet the strongman's palm.

"Boom, boom"—two booming sounds, the gaunt old man's palm dissolved both of Ye Liuyun's successive palms, and when it struck Ye Liuyun, little force remained.

Ye Liuyun also mimicked him, invoking Heaven and Earth momentum to shield himself, deflecting his palm as well. The two ended up evenly matched.

The gaunt old man hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to learn so quickly; his Heaven and Earth Power surged considerably in an instant.

At this moment, the first clone also sheathed the Hunting Demon Bow, switched to the Heaven Devourer, and a blade intention slashed out, merging with Divine Core and Heaven and Earth momentum, cutting toward the gaunt old man again.

Ye Liuyun and the clone's blade intentions were already strong, and after merging with Heaven and Earth momentum, the gaunt old man had to respond with full force. Thus he was forced to reveal himself, delivering a palm to meet Ye Liuyun's slash.

Simultaneously, Ye Liuyun also struck with a palm, employing Spatial Power, hoping to slam that Heaven and Earth Power directly onto the gaunt old man's body.

But to his surprise, his combined-force palm failed to work. The Heaven and Earth momentum he gathered vanished entirely after being shifted by Spatial Power.

The gaunt old man also sensed the spatial fluctuation and immediately mounted full defense; the Heaven and Earth momentum around him suddenly spun, instantly doubling in strength.

Yet he was also puzzled: after the spatial fluctuation, nothing happened. So he was very perplexed, not knowing what Ye Liuyun was up to.

Ye Liuyun gave an awkward smile, letting the clone continue to slash and hold the gaunt old man, while he kept training. This time he first familiarized himself with Heaven and Earth momentum palm by palm, then used Spatial Power to shift little by little.

However, the small amount of Heaven and Earth Power he initially shifted couldn't even harm the gaunt old man.

Only then did the old man realize that Ye Liuyun was merely beginning his practice; earlier Ye Liuyun had been greedy, overexerting himself, and hadn't actually delivered any force.

This made him so angry that even his goatee curled up..

But he couldn't hit Ye Liuyun either. The clone's blade intention was already enough to keep him busy, and with Ye Liuyun attuning to Heaven and Earth momentum, the clone's Heaven and Earth momentum kept growing, already overwhelming him beyond Ye Liuyun.

So gradually, he stopped defending against Ye Liuyun's attacks, letting him play on his own side.

However, Ye Liuyun's performance was unstable; sometimes a palm struck without any Spatial Power, so the palm force was entirely Heaven and Earth momentum, and he had to divert attention to defend.

"Damned brat!" the gaunt old man cursed, then directly released his Soul, charging toward the clone's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun's earlier battle had already been reported back to the dynasty by the defeated Leader, so the strongmen arriving this time knew his Sea of Consciousness contained a treasure that defends against Spiritual Soul Attack, and dared not easily try to attack him.

The gaunt old man also only dared to attack the clone, hoping to eliminate it first before focusing on Ye Liuyun.

But when his Soul surged into the clone's Sea of Consciousness, it became trapped in overlapping voids and couldn't emerge. Simultaneously, Poison Soul Flower and Nether Ghost Fire tainted his Soul, causing his Soul to be extinguished shortly thereafter.
