Chapter 3354: Style Shift

In the previous battle Ye Liuyun didn't unleash the Sealing Demon Tablet because he feared it would go straight to smash the enemy army's Leader; in that case the Tablet could be besieged by the Demon Race's strongmen, and he might not be able to retrieve it at all.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun led the ten thousand female soldiers to withdraw at full speed. Qingfeng Lang used Spatial Power to retreat, and the Demon Race could no longer catch up, forced to regroup temporarily.

This battle saw the Demon Race lose sixty to seventy thousand soldiers, which isn't a heavy loss for a two‑million‑strong army. However, even though they won, they all felt a kind of power they couldn't unleash.

Ye Liuyun doesn't clash with them head‑on; they also don't know the details and must be wary of ambushes, so they can only proceed steadily and cautiously.

Qi Sang and the other Martial Cultivator strongmen were also unsure of Ye Liuyun's intent. Qi Sang took a big loss; his Divine Soul Power was certainly much weaker than before, yet Ye Liuyun neither attacked nor pursued.

Therefore, even while the Demon Race's great army rested, they kept a tight formation, and the Ninth Layer Summit elite among the soldiers never dared to relax their patrols around the camp and the Leader's residence.

Qi Sang and the other strongmen constantly used Divine Sense to monitor the surroundings; any slightest movement would make them tense.

From afar, Ye Liuyun saw their vigilant posture with his Golden Pupil and silently laughed to himself.

"Probably after a few more rounds, these short‑tempered Demon Race will have to change their tactics! We must be ready to evacuate at any moment, lest we get trapped," Yu Xiaofeng analyzed more calmly.

Ye Liuyun also agreed with Yu Xiaofeng's analysis, knowing the Demon Race would eventually be unable to hold back.

"That's perfect—use the chance to eliminate more Demon Race. Otherwise they always fight so steadily, and I never get a chance to act!"

After a brief discussion, Ye Liuyun sent a clone out to use his Golden Pupil to observe the enemy, while he returned to the clone's Space World to accelerate cultivation of his Divine Soul Power.

After waiting two more days, the Demon Race's great army saw Ye Liuyun's side had gone silent, so they launched the whole force again, pursuing Ye Liuyun toward the next Xingqiu.

Ye Liuyun's side kept the same tactic—fight while withdrawing; as soon as the enemy truly engaged, they retreated immediately. He only emerged during combat; otherwise he stayed in the clone's Space World, using the time to accelerate and fully assimilate a new soul source.

The two clones took turns emerging, using the Soul‑Refining Cauldron to boost Divine Soul Power as much as possible.

This time when Ye Liuyun withdrew, the Demon Race didn't send anyone to chase, wanting to see what he would do, so their casualties were even smaller.

Yet Ye Liuyun's side truly withdrew, retreating to the next Xingqiu, showing no sign of any arrangement.

Although the Demon Race didn't know what scheme Ye Liuyun had, this method proved effective, so they continued to advance steadily, recapturing the lost Xingqiu step by step.

Only when they forced Ye Liuyun onto the final Xingqiu did they finally halt.

Because the Demon Race kept pausing, Ye Liuyun's new soul source now already shows facial features. Give Ye Liuyun a few more days, and he should be able to fully complete the refinement of the new soul source.

At that moment, the Demon Race finally couldn't hold back and dispatched two squads of elite soldiers to ambush. Each squad consisted of three thousand soldiers of Ninth Layer Summit rank, truly elite troops.

Although they acted covertly, the two elite squads couldn't evade the clones and Yu Xiaofeng's Golden Pupil; when they gathered within the army, they were spotted.

The Demon Race also knew that at such close range they couldn't hide from them, so they didn't try to conceal much, charging from two directions to catch them off guard with speed.

At this short distance, those elites didn't use Flying Boats or Warships; instead they arrived even faster...

Ye Liuyun immediately emerged from the Space World, deployed ten thousand female soldiers, led by Ye Tiandao on one side and by Yue Ying on the other, to confront those Demon Race elite troops.

The Demon Race side kept watching Ye Liuyun's movements; seeing him change his style this time and start to engage, they all turned their attention to this battle.

In fact, Ye Liuyun merely saw a rare opportunity and let the female soldiers go out to practice. These ten thousand female soldiers have been accelerating cultivation inside the clone's Space World for several years.

Currently, all their previous weaknesses have been remedied, and their realms have risen to Return to One Nine Layers Late Stage. With Qingfeng Lang's support on the ground, employing Bloodline Power, fighting these Ninth Layer Summit Demon Race troops is just right to truly test their cultivation results.

Therefore, this time Ye Liuyun didn't release the Sealing Demon Tablet or any Monster Beast, merely letting them fight on their own.

Once the two sides clashed, the female soldiers and Qingfeng Lang together unleashed Bloodline Power to suppress the Demon Race elite, then used their newly cultivated strength to overwhelmingly slaughter them.

Those Demon Race elite didn't expect such a grim fate. Their realms were immediately suppressed to Ninth Layer Early Stage; some couldn't even withstand Qingfeng Lang's attacks, let alone the female soldiers'.

From the outset they were surrounded and exterminated by the female soldiers, and the battle ended without even a single hour passing.

The Demon Race's great army and the elites were far away, unable to feel the Bloodline Power released by the female soldiers, assuming the women's strength was so great that even slaying Return to One Nine Layers Summit elites was effortless.

So for a while they dared not send more elite troops to ambush. Yet half a month of this stalemate inflamed the Demon Race's temper, and some Leaders could no longer restrain themselves from leading troops into battle.

The Demon Race Leaders also thought that since elites and ambushes were ineffective, they had to rely on the sheer numbers of the great army for this fight.

So he immediately dispatched the remaining four hundred thousand front troops, sending three contingents of one hundred thousand each to encircle the Xingqiu where Ye Liuyun was, with the main force behind ready to support any front at any time.

After seeing their movements, Ye Liuyun and Yu Xiaofeng promptly made corresponding arrangements.

Both felt it was a chance to annihilate a Demon Race front army, ultimately choosing to strike the Demon Race's leftmost army. After the fight they would withdraw, and could also capture another Xingqiu in a different direction, turning it into a garrison base.

By then, Ye Liuyun's soul source should be nearly fully assimilated, and Jiang Yuanhai's five hundred thousand army should have arrived. They could then launch a counterattack to wipe out the Demon Race's two‑million‑strong army.

Ye Liuyun pre‑emptively transferred Yu Xiaofeng and the black‑armored soldiers aboard the Warship into the Space World, leaving only an air warship stationed there, where Qiong Qi and other Formation Masters set up multiple formations, awaiting the Demon Race's deployment.

When the three Demon Race assault forces drew near, Ye Liuyun used Spatial Power to leave the Flying Boat and fly toward the left‑side army.

He first arrived at the rear of that army, deployed the female soldiers, then moved to the right side, releasing the Demon Race's three‑ten‑thousand strongest soldiers and firepower combat vehicles, without committing the entire Demon Race army to battle.
