Chapter 3602: Demon Race Turmoil

Ye Liuyun also did not leave the Demon Race army, but stayed with them, continuously pushing forward.

The cultivation realms of the Demon Race army's soldiers rose rapidly. They can advance their realms by devouring. Thus, with ample resources, the army's average strength has already reached the Mid Great Void realm.

Moreover, this Demon Race army is battle‑experienced and well coordinated, so wherever they go they sweep away all obstacles. The number of strong fighters and soldiers in the army is also expanding rapidly.

Ye Liuyun and his companions kept following the Demon Race army, using treasures such as the Sealing Demon Tablet and Zhenmo Tower each battle to suppress Demon Race elites. Consequently, they swiftly seized several Xingqiu, and the Demon Race came to control a vast territory.

At the same time, the Demon Race army on the frontier also launched an attack on Pingyang Guan.

Their assault had been plotted for a long time; the arrow on the string had to be released. The frontier instantly gathered five hundred thousand Demon Race troops, and at the outset they fought several major battles with the border garrison, each side suffering tens of thousands of casualties.

While the Demon Race was replenishing its troops, it also discovered Ye Liuyun's Demon Race army, immediately sent envoys to negotiate, mistakenly assuming they were also Demon Race and urging them to consider the overall situation and unite against outsiders.

The Demon Race had already begun its assault on humans and obviously did not intend to stop easily. Ye Liuyun let Heishan and other leaders give a feigned assent, yet they still fought when needed, with no slowdown in progress.

Some Demon Race elders found themselves unable to attend to them for the time being, so they could only summon a few Demon Race masters to go kill the leaders of Ye Liuyun's Demon Race army.

Meanwhile, Du Hansong's situation was also precarious; he was trapped in Pingyang Guan by the Demon Race army, awaiting no support and forced to rely on his own soldiers. At this moment the Demon Race could not withdraw troops to deal with Ye Liuyun's forces.

Song Qing also mobilized nearby city garrisons to assist, but they were shattered by a single strike of the Demon Race army. Those soldiers, even Du Hansong himself, did not want them, and they could not break into Pingyang Guan at all.

Song Qing also began gathering the army around the Royal City, preparing to march to the front to support Du Hansong. He knew that Pingyang Guan could not be held, and his reign as Heavenly King would not last long.

He also called all Martial Cultivators across the realm to rush to the frontier to slay the Demon Race. However, his reputation was poor, so few Martial Cultivators answered the call.

Some great families and factions that wished to intervene would wait until Song Qing was forced from power before acting.

The cities under Ye Liuyun's control all refused Song Qing's orders, citing various reasons for not lending troops. They even disguised soldiers as Mercenaries and sent them outside the city to avoid conscription.

Mercenary groups were the same, all laying down their banners, conserving strength, and rarely undertaking missions—almost as if they vanished overnight.

After the frontier line vanished, other Demon Race units began crossing Pingyang Guan in packs, slaughtering human Martial Cultivators everywhere. Many cities' Martial Cultivators spontaneously organized to resist the Demon Race's small squads.

Both sides fought to the death upon meeting. The entire Xingqiu that houses Pingyang Guan was engulfed in battle, and the Demon Race continued spreading to neighboring Xingqiu.

Ye Liuyun also recognized this as a good opportunity and immediately ordered Heishan to continue advancing toward the Demon Race's stronghold.

Demon Race Clan Chief Tie Tuo instantly ordered the Demon Race on the preceding Xingqiu to gather and confront Ye Liuyun's army, also dispatching several renowned Demon Race strongmen to the front.

One of them was the Demon Race strongman Fan Tongtian, whose Bloodline Power is immense, making him a bloodline butcher on the battlefield. Another was Clan Chief Tie Tuo's son Tie Li He, who wields a Demon Subduing Pestle, a treasure whose effect resembles the Sealing Demon Tablet, suppressing any Demon Race who sees it.

Several other Demon Race strongmen also each carried treasures. Their realms are all Great Void Ninth Level, so their power far exceeds that of ordinary Demon Race.

Their orders were to lead some Demon Race strongmen to first eliminate the leaders of Ye Liuyun's Demon Race army, disperse its forces, and then reinforce the front line.

When Ye Liuyun's army launched its attack, these Demon Race strongmen did not act, but observed Ye Liuyun and the other army leaders.

Ye Liuyun, leading the Demon Race strongmen forward, clashed with the local Demon Race strongmen. Ye Liuyun swung his Demon Slaying Sword, and with two Demon Slaying Swords and Evergreen Vine working together, he was virtually unstoppable.

After being reforged with meteorite material, his Demon Slaying Sword became far sharper and absorbed much of the purple metal's power, radiating a layer of violet light from afar.

Coupled with the Sealing Demon Tablet and spellcraft, even Fan Tongtian and Tie Li He found him hard to deal with.

"This guy has too many treasures, Chang Kuo, you use illusion to attack that Human Martial Cultivator later, try to snatch all his treasures!"

"Even if we can't take his treasures, we must hold out until we eliminate those strongmen first!" Tie Li He then assigned tasks to everyone.

Then he continued: "Fan Tongtian, cooperate with Chang Kuo, strike from both sides to kill that Human Martial Cultivator; I'll first deal with the Lei Long Shou using the Zhenmo Tower…"

After assigning the tasks, Tie Li He immediately seized the chaos, leading those Demon Race strongmen to blend into the mass of Demon Race…

At this moment, Ye Liuyun, leading his men, was fighting vigorously when suddenly the Golden Light of the Ten Thousand Gods Command flashed in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Huh? Who's casting illusion on me!" Ye Liuyun, unaffected, was searching for the Demon Race strongman using illusion on him when suddenly a bloodline suction fell onto him.

The Demon Race that was siphoning his Bloodline Power was easier to locate; following the suction, Ye Liuyun saw a blood‑red scaled Demon Race absorbing bloodline energy.

Moreover, it was not only draining Ye Liuyun but also his companions. Fortunately, the refined blood within Ye Liuyun's body blocked the suction again.

Yet many Demon Race strongmen nearby could not evade the bloodline drain; a considerable amount of their bloodline power was instantly siphoned away.

"Master, this Demon Race's bloodline‑absorbing power is overwhelming; I fear I can't hold out long!" Chi Lian immediately rushed forward to confront the suction.

But she quickly realized the Demon Race's bloodline‑absorbing power was strong and kept intensifying. So she promptly sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun for help.

"Sealing Demon Tablet and Evergreen Vine!" Ye Liuyun immediately summoned those two non‑bloodline treasures to confront Fan Tongtian.

At that moment, the Ten Thousand Gods Command in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness continued to emit an even stronger radiance, indicating that the Demon Race casting illusion on him was also intensifying its attack.

Ye Liuyun scanned the surroundings with his Golden Pupil. The battlefield they fought on was a clash of elite fighters from both sides, surrounded by Demon Race masters, so Ye Liuyun could not easily locate the illusion‑casting Demon Race.
