Chapter 3457: Unafraid of Threats

With a "Boom", Ye Liuyun and that Kuailei both stepped back a few paces, but Ye Liuyun was unharmed, while the stone Kuailei's fist had a large chunk blown off, appearing uneven.

"This jade divine bone is indeed formidable—I feel no pain at all!" Ye Liuyun looked at his fist and arm bone, finding himself unharmed, and immediately gathered his strength, preparing to strike again.

But that stone Kuailei, just like the previous one, erupted with the aura of the Ninth Realm, then bowed to Ye Liuyun in submission.

This time Ye Liuyun had experience; he first used Divine Sense to communicate with that stone Kuailei, making it recognize him as master, guarding outside the stone chamber, together with the previous stone Kuailei to protect his safety.

The stone Kuailei also told Ye Liuyun that after he refined that armor and spear, the stone chamber's door would automatically open.

Ye Liuyun successfully entered the stone chamber again. Inside there was only a set of armor and a spear. Ye Liuyun refined them effortlessly, and then the stone door opened once more.

This time his stay in the stone chamber was much shorter than before. Refining the armor and weapon was also very simple.

Ye Liuyun was also not skilled with the spear, so on the spot he gave both the armor and spear to Xiao Yunfang.

When he came out again, none of the Martial Cultivators asked him what treasure he had obtained; they knew asking would be pointless.

Ye Liuyun now had two Great Void Ninth Level stone Kuailei by his side. Even if they all rushed together, they could not break the Kuailei's defense. The old man who bore a grudge against Ye Liuyun also hid at the back, afraid to speak, fearing Ye Liuyun would seek him out.

Ye Liuyun couldn't be bothered to argue with them, and headed straight for the final stone chamber.

The Martial Cultivators' hearts sank even further. Ye Liuyun had already taken two of the three treasures from the stone chambers; if he took another, nothing good would remain. Yet now, even if they tried to block him, they couldn't stop him; they could only watch helplessly.

"Enough already—do you really intend to take all the good things here?" the strongest Martial Cultivator finally blurted out.

"What then? You lack the ability to take it, yet you won't let others have it?" Ye Liuyun retorted directly.

"We just haven't thought of a solution yet! Even if we all attack together, we might not be able to defeat that stone man!" the Martial Cultivator insisted.

Ye Liuyun shrugged and said indifferently, "Then if you have the ability, go ahead and strike! You can even try to snatch it from my hands—I'm not stopping you!"

That Martial Cultivator, angered by him, was momentarily speechless, then finally said, "You… so young, yet so greedy and shameless! With so many of us here, do you really intend to offend us all?"

"Heh, say whatever you like! But what can you do to me?"

Ye Liuyun gave a light laugh; threats were what he feared least. In such a situation, anyone would act the same—if they could take something, they would, leaving nothing for others. All treasures are obtained by ability; why should he have to leave some for others?

Faced with the two stone Kuailei guarding behind Ye Liuyun, these Martial Cultivators were all at a loss for words. Without strength, any talk is wasted. Even some open-minded individuals had already launched a wave of illusion attacks while fully on guard.

Ye Liuyun also approached within ten zhang of that stone Kuailei.

"This time he won't be three realms above me, will he?" he wondered in his heart.

But just as he finished that thought, the opposing stone Kuailei's realm indeed became Great Void Fifth Level.

"Indeed!" Ye Liuyun praised himself for guessing correctly.

"Haha! Let's see how you fight this time!" the strongest Martial Cultivator, seeing this, couldn't help but laugh.

Those Martial Cultivators still staring at Ye Liuyun couldn't help but smile, thinking his greed would bring retribution.

Actually, some had already guessed that this stone Kuailei would increase its realm; they were just watching the spectacle, with no one bothering to warn him.

"How to fight? Heh, let's drag it out—see who can't endure!"

Ye Liuyun then gave a cold laugh and launched an attack at that stone Kuailei.

The Myriad Gods Command in his Sea of Consciousness also flashed again.

At this point the Martial Cultivators realized that as long as Ye Liuyun slowly wore down those stone Kuailei, the Yin Soul attacks they suffered would not cease.

Indeed, Ye Liuyun did not clash head-on with that Kuailei this time; instead he adopted a delaying tactic, fearing that excessive force would break the Kuailei.

The Great Void Ninth Level stone Kuailei was also quite formidable as a fighting force and could not be destroyed. Therefore he didn't use a blade, but relied solely on his physical body and left arm to contend with the Kuailei, seeking its weakness and striking occasionally.

"Stop quickly!"

At that moment, the strongest Martial Cultivator suddenly shouted at Ye Liuyun.

He was worried that as their remaining numbers dwindled from fighting, they would be even less able to take Ye Liuyun down, so he wanted Ye Liuyun to cease fighting to make the illusion disappear.

He even wanted to approach Ye Liuyun to lure that stone Kuailei into attacking the Yin Souls produced by the illusion. However, those stone Kuailei lacked sentience and had no reaction to the Yin Souls generated by the illusion.

"Go kill him!"

Ye Liuyun, however, gave an order to a stone Kuailei. That stone Kuailei immediately struck out, also attacking the strongest Martial Cultivator.

"What are you doing?" that Martial Cultivator exclaimed, startled, not expecting Ye Liuyun to have the stone Kuailei attack him.

"Kill you! How can you not see that, you idiot!" Ye Liuyun, while fighting, chatted with him. Anyway, his pressure was much lower, for he was facing only a Great Void Fifth Level Kuailei. Even if he didn't defend, letting it strike randomly wouldn't kill it. Moreover, he still wore a six‑rank gilded armor.

"You're ruthless; I apologize, I admit my fault—will that do? Have your stone Kuailei help me block an attack, and I will surely repay you!" the Martial Cultivator could only resign himself to apologizing and begging Ye Liuyun for mercy.

The stone Kuailei's attack sent him flying with a single blow, both arm bones shattering.

Yet Ye Liuyun did not let the stone person stop at all; he merely said lightly, "No need for your thanks. After you die, I will personally take whatever I need."

"Are you trying to seize the opportunity to kill us all?" the Martial Cultivator, seeing the stone person rush at him again, tried to bind the others together with himself.

"Exactly, junior, don't bully people too much! Seeing so many of us Martial Cultivators suffer, you still won't cease fighting!"

The old man who still bore a grudge against Ye Liuyun, at this point could no longer hold back, so he also blamed these illusion attacks on Ye Liuyun, hoping to rally everyone to deal with him.

"Damn it!" At that moment, the bearded Martial Cultivator, while fighting, suddenly cursed: "It's you two bastards who drove that kid mad, dragging us into disaster as well!"

"Your petty schemes— that kid saw through them long ago. Threats—do they work? You two idiots, go seek death yourselves, don't drag us down with you."
