Chapter 3253: Panicked and Directionless

Jiang Yuantang had never been chased so desperately before.

The hundred Martial Cultivators he released were killed along the way, their numbers dwindling.

With no other choice, he could only release another three hundred Martial Cultivators to intercept. These were already the last batch of Martial Cultivators he carried.

He regretted in his heart, feeling his protective power was still too little and that he had underestimated Ye Liuyun. But now he had no other way and could only try to stall.

The warship ahead of him was also rushing here at full speed, getting closer and closer.

But the three hundred Martial Cultivators were immediately surrounded by the thousand elite soldiers pursuing them. The other two flanking squads of elite soldiers were about to block his Grand Hall.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun's Metal Puppet Beast kept bombarding the Grand Hall, and it seemed it could no longer be defended.

So Jiang Yuantang decisively abandoned the Grand Hall, and after charging out, released three hundred Metal Puppets to block the soldiers flanking from both sides, then launched a Void-tier First Rank Flying Boat to continue escaping.

The Flying Boat also had a Defense Array, which could temporarily withstand the Metal Puppet Beast's impact.

Ye Liuyun and his group quickly reached the battlefield, where the thousand elite soldiers were slaughtering the three hundred Martial Cultivators, having already killed more than half.

They did not stop, leapt over, and continued to pursue Jiang Yuantang. The thousand elite soldiers immediately split five hundred of them to chase after Ye Liuyun.

Soon, they caught up with the three hundred Metal Puppets.

These three hundred Metal Puppets were only at the Return to One Ninth Layers Late Stage, truly Ninth Rank, not very powerful, but of decent quality, relatively resistant to attacks and unfazed by Soul attacks, so soldiers would take a bit longer to kill them.

Those Metal Puppets were already nearly half dead and had been gathered by two squads of soldiers, so when Ye Liuyun's party passed, another five hundred elite soldiers joined Ye Liuyun, leaving five hundred soldiers enough to finish off the remaining Metal Puppets.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun's group could not be shaken off, Jiang Yuantang had to unleash a few of his powerful protective forces.

The two Return-to-One Ninth Layer Summit Martial Cultivators had power that matched the elder guarding the Treasure Vault whom Ye Liuyun met inside the Hong Tian Secret Realm. Moreover, the two looked strikingly alike, as if

they were twin brothers.

"They must know a combined attack technique!"

Ye Liuyun thought of this, kept the chase going, and ordered his two clones to launch Technique attacks directly.

Each of them fired a white Technique, and the two Martial Cultivators' heads melted before they could even act. Then the two clones gestured, sucking the bodies in, leaving no trace, so the Fire Seal Dynasty could not determine the origin of the white Technique.

Jiang Yuantang did not expect that the two strong ones he released were eliminated before even launching an attack.

So he could only release a fierce beast, a male stag adept at Soul attacks and also a group attack. As soon as it appeared, Ye Liuyun and the Second Clone together used Soul Red Eye to affect its Soul, while the First Clone employed purple light to shatter its Soul.

"What a waste of a powerful Soul!" Ye Liuyun transmitted a voice to the First Clone, expressing regret.

"Another one dead!"

Jiang Yuantang, piloting the Flying Boat in his escape, was even more shocked. These were the strongest forces around him; even Ninth Layer Summit elites could not handle them, yet before Ye Liuyun and his companions, they were wiped out before they could even launch an attack.

He understood that the two Martial Cultivators ahead were killed by that powerful white Technique, but he could not discern how the stag was slain.

"Ye Liuyun really has this many strong allies!" he thought cautiously, fearing someone might give him the same treatment.

In truth, Ye Liuyun only did not want to reveal his Time Power, fearing that Jiang Yuantang might have Soul-strong allies who would uncover his secret. Otherwise he could have caught Jiang Yuantang immediately and killed him.

Jiang Yuantang's Flying Boat could not hold out much longer; the Metal Puppet Beast kept assaulting it, its defense was about to fail, its speed could not be increased, and it could not shake off Ye Liuyun.

Jiang Yuantang, helpless, abandoned the Flying Boat again, enveloped himself in an energy light sphere for protection, and kept fleeing. At the same time, he hurled a Demon Wolf behind him.

However, this Demon Wolf had green eyes and immediately launched an attack on Ye Liuyun upon appearing. Its green eyes could devour an opponent's Soul.

It had thought it could capture Ye Liuyun with a single strike, intending to fully siphon his Soul, but

found it could not draw Ye Liuyun's Soul at all. Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, shrouded by the Ten Thousand Gods Command Golden Light, blocked the green light it emitted.

At that moment, the First Clone fired another white Technique, melting the wolf's head instantly, giving it no chance to act again, lest it attack others.

Simultaneously, the Second Clone's curse also struck Jiang Yuantang.

Jiang Yuantang's shield could block physical and Soul attacks, but not curses.

Jiang Yuantang was already wounded, his defense weakened, and now his life force was rapidly draining, heightening his panic. Moreover, he did not know who was attacking him again, leaving him unable to defend.

He now feared Ye Liuyun, never expecting even his Demon Wolf's green light could not kill Ye Liuyun.

The First Clone then fired a white Technique at his Golden Light shield, but the shield blocked it.

But the shield soon gave way. Jiang Yuantang immediately switched to another and kept fleeing. Against the relentless Puppet Beast attacks, Jiang Yuantang could do little else but toss treasures outward to constantly block its assaults. wap.

At this moment, Luo Yu's Puppet Beast also chased after him. Two Void-tier Double Rank Puppet Beasts pursued him, bombarding nonstop. Fortunately, he had many treasures to keep throwing, which could sustain him for a while.

He now had no protective power left beside him. Yet the warship opposite was already very close. He estimated he could hold out until he met up with the Imperial Guard.

The opposing warship also halted, and fifty thousand golden‑armored Imperial Guard were forming ranks.

To block the two Puppet Beasts and allow him to merge smoothly with the Imperial Guard, Jiang Yuantang released another Zombie Puppet.

This Zombie Puppet, forged over a long time, had no special abilities, but was especially resistant to attacks.

Sure enough, the Zombie, relying only on its physical body, blocked the attacks of the two Puppet Beasts without being damaged.

The Second Clone was the first to fire a Black Light, instantly destroying the Divine Sense that controlled the Zombie. The Zombie immediately froze in place, then was bombarded by a Puppet Beast, yet remained unharmed.

The Second Clone instantly sucked it in, preventing Luo Yu's Puppet Beast from attacking it again.
