Chapter 3368: Two Attacks

Everyone was stunned; in an instant an entire Demon Race army was wiped out. Even though they had already eliminated more than half earlier, there should still have been thirty to forty thousand Demon Race soldiers left.

Now they were all corpses, and none bore any wounds.

"Why are you standing there? Hurry and collect your own dead!" Ye Liuyun also ordered them to help clean the battlefield.

The Demon Race side was also monitoring the situation; not knowing what had happened to cause tens of thousands of soldiers to die instantly, they were taken aback.

Their attack on Ye Liuyun's forces was suppressed by Jiang Yuanhai's army with firepower tanks and heavy crossbows, and they failed.

Yu Xiaofeng led his army in a slow retreat. Ye Liuyun, before the Demon Race's other reinforcements arrived, pulled everyone into the Space World, then recalled the Kuailei and vanished into the void.

But suddenly he realized the space had been sealed, and the spatial barrier kept contracting, as if shrinking the space.

Ye Liuyun and his clones instantly scanned the surroundings with Golden Pupil, spotting a black‑armored Demon Race in the distance, waving a Formation Flag.

"Seal the void, then shrink the space, locking me inside?"

Ye Liuyun's mouth twitched upward as he hurled his full Spatial Power forward. Yet the spatial barrier created by the Formation Flag was composed of Formation, and his full‑strength punch failed to break the Formation.

"Cut!"

The two clones cut simultaneously, also signaling Ye Liuyun.

Thus the three of them combined their blade intent, merging Divine Core and Heaven and Earth Power, and slashed toward a single point.

Their slash opened a gap in the spatial barrier, but before they could rush through, the gap instantly repaired itself.

"This Formation isn't simple!"

Ye Liuyun thought this and immediately began condensing a Spirit‑Energy Beast. However, because the space was shrinking and suppressing it, the beast couldn't grow large. Yet its full‑force bombardment kept the Formation constantly damaged and repaired, slowing the spatial shrinkage.

"One isn't enough; bring two more!" The two clones immediately acted, each forming a Spirit‑Energy Beast, and together they bombarded a point.

The combined assault of the three Spirit‑Energy Beasts blasted a huge hole in the Formation, and one beast used its massive claw to pry the hole open, allowing Ye Liuyun and his two clones to burst out of the sealed space.

Then Ye Liuyun's first clone drew the Hunting Demon Bow and shot an arrow at the black‑armored Demon Race, blowing it apart; the second clone simultaneously used Spatial Power to shift the Formation Flag from its hand.

Ye Liuyun didn't linger, turned and left, tossing the Formation Flag to Qiong Qi in the Space World for defense.

"That Formation inside the flag is a good thing, huh? You don't want it?" After Qiong Qi refined the flag, he found the Formation was unbreakable by ordinary people.

However, Ye Liuyun thought that since he could break it once, he was confident he could break it again. If he used the Golden Pupil's White Light or added a few cuts with Time Power, he could also break it. So he was not interested in the flag at all.

Qiong Qi also took it without hesitation, saying it could be used against the Demon Race.

Just as Ye Liuyun was about to return through the void to his army, a sudden intense sense of danger surged in his mind. He abruptly halted, evading, and surrounded himself with overlapping void and Heaven and Earth Power.

The first clone raised an arrow and shot with the Hunting Demon Bow in one direction; the second clone used Red Eye to cast an illusion toward that direction.

"Whoosh"—a powerful surge of Heaven and Earth Power swept past Ye Liuyun.

Immediately another booming sound rang out; the Hunting Demon Bow clearly hit a person.

A black‑armored Demon Race emerged from Xingkong. Its original Heaven and Earth Power was strong, but the illusion from the second clone lowered its defense, and it was struck by an arrow from the first clone.

However, its physical body was robust and not pierced. After the illusion, it stopped hiding and, disregarding its wounds, launched a full‑force attack to its side.

"Bang"—another black‑armored Demon Race was punched, revealing its form.

Blood spurted from its mouth, and it flew far across Xingkong. Ye Liuyun immediately used Red Eye on the knocked‑back Demon Race, and the two, under the illusion's control, released their Soul into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun deliberately shifted the Soul‑Refining Cauldron in the Sea of Consciousness, letting them enter the sea, where they were covered by the Ten Thousand Gods Command, ready to perform Soul Search on them.

It turned out both were Demon Race experts with relatively strong Heaven and Earth Power, sent with the army to find a chance to deal with Ye Liuyun. Many such specially powerful Demon Race were dispatched.

But nearly half of them had already died in the battle. Ye Liuyun hadn't noticed when he killed these Demon Race elites; likely they perished amid the chaos, never showing their true strength.

The black‑armored Demon Race that just held the Formation Flag was also one of those elites.

These elites shared a trait: their Divine Soul Power was not very strong. The Demon Race feared sending the Red Demon Race would be noticed by Ye Liuyun, while other Demon Race types wouldn't attract his attention.

Ye Liuyun thought the two were somewhat useful, so he placed Slave Seals on them and took them back to give to Black Mountain as subordinates.

After they returned to the camp, Yu Xiaofeng also witnessed the incident and warned Ye Liuyun not to be careless, advising him not to take such risks again.

This time Ye Liuyun was once trapped by a Formation Flag and once ambushed by a Heaven and Earth Power elite; both were close calls, but no one can guarantee safety next time.

But Ye Liuyun felt that hiding wasn't a solution. If he didn't step forward, those Demon Race elites wouldn't act. It was better to draw them out and eliminate them.

Thus in the subsequent battle, Ye Liuyun personally led the Monster Beasts to the front line to command, attracting those Demon Race elites to act.

He deliberately paid attention this time and indeed found some Demon Race elites had died amid the chaos—some killed by firepower tanks, some by soldiers, and some had their Soul ripped away by Monster Beasts.

Even if he steps forward, as long as he doesn't ambush the Demon Race, those elites can hardly kill anyone near him.

"No wonder I never noticed any Demon Race elites before; they were all taken out like this! It seems these so‑called elites aren't the top‑most Demon Race."

Ye Liuyun thought that the true Demon Race elites should be comparable to his own strength; even if their True Essence was weaker, they should have other abilities matching his.

But the ones before him were clearly a notch below, only at the level of black‑armored elite soldiers—not the strongest.

So he remained vigilant; the Demon Race could send top‑tier elites at any moment, and he must constantly guard against ambushes.
