Chapter 3625: A Decisive Showdown

"So what? I have more Mercenaries than just these!"

Ye Liuyun, without changing expression, bluffs, refusing to let his momentum weaken.

Sun Que heard that and frowned. He does have some Kuailei in his possession, but they are only spares or weaker ones, the servants he usually keeps to help with artifact refining, which are different from the combat Kuailei.

A hundred Metal Puppet battle troops consume a lot of resources, and he doesn't have enough resources to forge more. Losing half of them in a single battle actually pains him.

"Then what do you mean? Do you insist on a fight that ends in mutual destruction?" Sun Que asked Ye Liuyun.

When Ye Liuyun heard his tone, he immediately guessed that even if he truly had Kuailei, he would be reluctant to release them all.

So he instantly retorted, "And if not? I've killed so many, and you Sun clan have looted several gilded armors; you won't just let it go, will you?"

"Hmph! Of course not. You must compensate me for my two Dòngtiān Jìngjiè Kuailei and these Kuailei battle troops!" Sun Que replied defiantly.

"Then fight, no more empty words!"

Ye Liuyun immediately released all remaining Mercenaries from the Space World.

Suddenly another one hundred fifty Mercenaries appeared, causing Sun Que to squint.

"Looks like this kid is ready to go all out against me!"

He thought that if they forced a hard clash, the result could indeed be a mutual ruin.

Thus a hard clash seemed unprofitable; his resources would be exhausted, leaving him unsafe. Once the Royal Mansion's army arrives, he won't be able to escape.

So he shifted his gaze and said to Ye Liuyun, "You release Mercenaries, I'll release Kuailei, and keep fighting—it's just consumption, meaningless.

How about this: we each fight, and the loser must surrender and hand over all resources to the victor!"

"How would I know you won't cheat?" Ye Liuyun asked directly, as if ready to agree.

Chen Yueying immediately warned Ye Liuyun: "You can't agree to him; this guy surely has many treasures—he's an Artifact Refining Master. Even three or four treasures would be a lot; how can you fight him?"

"Hmm, makes sense!" Ye Liuyun pretended to nod, yet still refused to fight him. In truth, Sun Que's suggestion matched his own desire; otherwise he wouldn't want his Mercenaries to all die here.

"Let's keep fighting; I'm not afraid of consumption—I still have people in my hand!" he again tried to intimidate Sun Que.

"That damn kid still has people in his hand? No way, we must not clash hard with him!" Sun Que was truly taken in by his bluff.

He immediately proposed, "Neither of us uses Kuailei, assistants, or treasures; we fight bare‑handed based on pure strength. If you're uneasy, we can sign a Divine Soul Contract!"

"He must think his Divine Soul is strong enough, so he's fearless, right?"

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had long seen that Sun Que's Divine Soul Power was far stronger than an ordinary person's, almost on par with his own.

As for True Essence and Physical Body, they are only slightly above average, not especially remarkable. Ye Liuyun cannot see Bloodline Power, but assumes Sun Que's isn't too weak, otherwise he couldn't achieve so much in artifact refining. Still, he doesn't believe Sun Que's Bloodline Power could surpass his.

That is indeed Sun Que's prized Trump Card. If his Divine Soul Power weren't strong, he couldn't capture so many souls into Kuailei.

"Fine, we'll sign the Divine Soul Contract!" Ye Liuyun agreed decisively.

He added, "But the loser must become the victor's slave, signing a Master‑Servant Contract. Do you dare?"

Chen Yueying this time did not object. No assistants, no treasures—she believed Ye Liuyun could not lose to Sun Que.

Now it was Sun Que's turn to hesitate. He couldn't fathom why Ye Liuyun would forgo assistants,

nor treasures—what means could surpass him?

Even if this kid is strong, his overall strength can't span so many realms to challenge me, right? At least he's not an Artifact or Pill Refining Master; his Divine Soul Power isn't regularly honed, certainly not as strong as mine!

After pondering, he thought Ye Liuyun was bluffing and agreed.

Thus the two began drafting the contract details; after a long while they finally signed, even drafting the subsequent Master‑Servant Contract together, so that the loser would instantly become the other's slave.

Then both stripped off their armor, took up no weapons, and prepared to strike.

Their subordinates circled the battlefield to prevent any interference.

Sun Que's Kuailei released Dòngtiān Jìngjiè pressure, and the massive Mercenary and Kuailei defense line kept even assassins at bay, so Ye Liuyun wasn't worried about disruption.

"I'm curious, what ability do you actually have to dare a hard clash with me?" Sun Que asked while still chatting with Ye Liuyun.

"You'll find out once I make a move!" Ye Liuyun replied with a mysterious smile.

"Pretending to be mysterious!" Sun Que scoffed, immediately circulating True Essence, unleashing Bloodline Power, and pressing toward Ye Liuyun.

"His Bloodline Power really isn't that strong!" Ye Liuyun, after sensing it, also erupted his own Bloodline Power, suppressing Sun Que.

"So this kid's Bloodline Power is actually that strong!"

Sun Que was also startled by Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power.

His Bloodline Power ranks among the best of his peers, yet he didn't expect Ye Liuyun to suppress him to a realm akin to the eighth layer of Taixu.

Moreover, after the clash he realized Ye Liuyun's Physical Body was strong. In Ye Liuyun's attacks, Heaven and Earth Power was especially mobilized, allowing him to hold an even match.

Yet the blade intent of Ye Liuyun's Divine Core Blade required Sun Que to use his True Essence at full force to block each time.

"Never expected I'd find a treasure! After I return, I could turn this kid into a Kuailei, which would compensate for my zombie Kuailei losses."

Sun Que, having matched Ye Liuyun, wasn't angry at all; he was actually pleased, as he could make use of Ye Liuyun's blade intent and Physical Body.

They fought for a long time without a decisive outcome. Both landed multiple blows on each other, yet their Physical Bodies withstood the attacks.

"Hehe, here's some extra seasoning!" As they fought, black vapor suddenly emanated from Sun Que's fist.

Ye Liuyun sneered, "You think you're the only one who can use poison!"

He said, and black‑green poison gas also billowed from Ye Liuyun's fist, seemingly far more toxic than Sun Que's.
