Chapter 3314: Reducing Casualties

Yue Tianyang regarded the Void‑Tier pills in her hand as a treasure; only after making a great resolution did she allow herself to take them out and ingest them.

But what she didn't know was that the ten thousand soldiers they had captured had already, at Ye Liuyun's side, taken the Void‑Tier Marrow‑Cleansing Pill and been equipped with Void‑Tier armor and weapons.

Her other two treasures were also insufficient in front of Ye Liuyun. In fact, she and her remaining Guardian Warriors could deal with a Demon Lion monster beast using only a wind‑thunder fan.

Their strength lies in Bloodline Power; once that gap is closed, defeat is already sealed.

On the appointed day, Yue Tianyang led twenty‑five thousand Guardian Warriors and a million Martial Cultivators watching the battle, rushing to the Xingqiu where Ye Liuyun and his troops were stationed.

The million spectators all halted from afar. They truly came to watch the battle, and also to guard against Ye Liuyun's side from cheating.

Yue Tianyang was at the front of the formation, with Guardian Warriors behind her lined up neatly, each mounted on a green wind wolf.

They were still speculating that Ye Liuyun's side could not possibly tame that many ferocious beasts in a month, so they would have an advantage in numbers of combat power.

Ye Liuyun, however, never gave his army any orders; he alone went to the front of the formation, then released from the Space World the ten thousand female soldiers and fifteen thousand black‑armored soldiers, all mounted on ferocious beasts to meet the battle.

Yue Tianyang had not previously known that Ye Liuyun had folded the entire planet into the Space World, and had thought they possessed some huge spatial treasure capable of holding so many people.

She never even imagined that anyone could cultivate the Space World to such a size, let alone contain an entire Xingqiu. She also possessed a Space World, but it was only as large as a Side Courtyard, enough to store some essential supplies.

But when she saw those ten thousand neatly equipped female soldiers, she was shocked.

These female soldiers' gear was all Void‑Tier armor and weapons, and even their green wind wolves were fitted with True‑Tier armor; the whole army was armed to the teeth.

Moreover, the aura of these ten thousand female soldiers was markedly different. Their sword intent and Heaven and Earth Power had greatly increased, and their temperament would surely change.

Behind those ten thousand female soldiers stood fifteen thousand black‑armored elite soldiers, each also equipped with Ninth Layer Summit ferocious beasts. This greatly exceeded Yue Tianyang's expectations.

In this way, they no longer held any advantage in combat power, and their Bloodline Power advantage would be severely weakened.

The formation Leader Ye Liuyun rode on Lei Ming's back, and on his two sides were two avatars riding on a nine‑headed demon dragon and a vermilion bird respectively. Leng Qianyu rode a Demon Lion, mingling among the black‑armored elite troops; during battle, the two of them would seal the void.

The only thing is that both sides rode green wind wolves, so there was no need to fight in the void; they could just fight directly.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun had his female soldier Leader Yue Ying step forward to tell Yue Tianyang what training they had undergone during this period, what resources they had used, what techniques they had learned, and what equipment they had been provided.

The Guardian Warriors on the opposite side listened with envy, learning that even their green wind wolves had received pills that enhanced various abilities, and they kept envying.

Yue Ying's mention of certain resources, techniques, and equipment moved Yue Tianyang as well. Upon learning that each of them had taken the Void‑Tier Marrow‑Cleansing Pill and equipped Void‑Tier armor and weapons, she became even more unsettled.

Ye Liuyun said to Yue Tianyang: "Yue Tianyang, when facing us, you actually have no chance of winning. Your advantage in Bloodline Power is now gone.

If we wanted to completely annihilate you to seize your resources, you would have been wiped out long ago. With just my fire and Thunder and Lightning Power, I could eradicate you entirely.

I suggest, to reduce casualties, you may randomly select some people to duel and test their strength. There's no need to have the two armies clash, sending soldiers to die pointlessly.

Later, if you are still unwilling to accept, I can give you another chance; if you have any treasures, feel free to bring them out for a trial! What do you think of my suggestion?"

Yue Tianyang glanced at the ten thousand female soldiers opposite her and did not wish to meet them in combat, after all they had once been Guardian Warriors. She wanted to rescue them, not to have both sides suffer mutual defeat.

Moreover, if Yue Ying's words were all true, they would inevitably be doomed to lose. At least the armor and weapons those female soldiers wore were not fake.

So Yue Tianyang also accepted Ye Liuyun's suggestion: "Alright, I accept your proposal; we need not have the two armies clash, just select some people for a trial."

"Then go ahead!"

Ye Liuyun also stepped aside, allowing her to name anyone at will.

Yue Tianyang first selected Yue Ying, because she was well aware of Yue Ying's previous strength and could clearly see her improvements, then she randomly chose twenty female soldiers.

Subsequently, Yue Ying and those twenty female soldiers stood together, waiting for her to send someone out to fight.

Yue Tianyang also stepped forward herself, then randomly selected another twenty female soldiers, showing no intention of deception.

Then the two sides engaged in one‑on‑one duels.

As expected, Yue Ying's Yi Dao, employing sword intent and Spatial Power, directly sliced Yue Tianyang and sent her flying, winning the round without a second strike. Yue Tianyang hadn't even reacted, never having imagined Spatial Power could be used that way.

Afterwards, some female soldiers used fist techniques, some used spear techniques, some employed Heaven and Earth Power or Spatial Power, and some used Spiritual Soul Attack; all of them easily defeated Yue Tianyang's subordinates in one or two moves.

Even their green wind wolves were at a disadvantage, as Yue Ying's side held the advantage; their Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power far surpassed those of the opposing green wind wolves. Moreover, because they were all armored, the Physical Body advantage was never displayed.

Yue Tianyang and the Guardian Warriors she brought could say nothing at this point.

"Too easy!"

They all saw that if Yue Ying's ten thousand men intended to kill them, it would be far too easy. It was also thanks that they hadn't launched an all‑out charge; otherwise, half of them would already be dead now.

Yue Tianyang grew even more desperate. The Marrow‑Cleansing Pills, Void‑Tier armor and weapons she relied on turned out to be the standard issue for the opponent's ordinary soldiers.

"There truly is no chance of victory!" she thought, already foreseeing their defeat.

But to make them surrender outright and cede half the Xingqiu, she would definitely fight to the end.

So she could only step forward again and reveal her own Trump Card.

The Demon Race Kuailei emitted a swirling mass of Demon Qi, and even the Martial Cultivators watching from afar could feel the pressure of a third‑grade Void‑Tier. Moreover, the Soul‑Stabilizing Tower was even more terrifying; Divine Soul Power pressure instantly enveloped the entire arena, and before a target was identified, even their own allies had to exert all their strength to withstand it.

However, all the soldiers on Ye Liuyun's side remained unmoved. They each possessed talismans that defended against Spiritual Soul Attack, and with their strong Divine Soul Power, the Divine Soul Power pressure barely affected them.
