Chapter 363: Continue the Performance
Jin Lei and the others have already set up the ambush, quietly waiting for Ye Liuyun's appearance.
A woman, hair in disarray, body covered in blood and grime, her face impossible to discern. Moreover, her mouth was stuffed with a cloth strip, she was bound to a wooden stake, impersonating Lin Feier.
She is the maid beside Jin Lei, of the Heavenly Gang second tier. But she is now using a treasure that blocks detection, making any aura fluctuations completely invisible.
Liu Tianfeng, on the other hand, led some disciples of the Duan Tian Pavilion, weapons in hand, surrounding the wooden stake, looking highly vigilant. Other strong ones of Heavenly Gang Realm and Golden Core Ninth Level all carried treasures that concealed their aura, ambushed beneath the surrounding ground.
Ye Liuyun's space‑crossing Golden Pupil saw the entire situation clearly from afar.
At this moment, the surrounding area had gathered nearly one hundred thousand Corpse Demon Army.
Ye Liuyun did not rush to let the Corpse Demon Army charge forward; instead, using his space‑crossing Golden Pupil, he eliminated the underground ambushed Martial Cultivators one by one.
These Martial Cultivators were quietly ambushing underground, when suddenly their Divine Sense was pulled into the Thunder Fire Domain and extinguished, each silently and forever buried underground.
"Since you all love being buried underground, I'll grant you that!" Ye Liuyun's mouth corner lifted slightly as he continued his actions.
After he eliminated over thirty Martial Cultivators, Liu Tianfeng sensed something was wrong. The Divine Sense fluctuations of some people suddenly became undetectable to him.
He hurriedly used Divine Sense contact on several people, but found none responded.
He immediately drew his long sword, pointing at the throat of the woman impersonating Lin Feier. "Ye Liuyun, I know you're already here! If we don't meet soon, I'll finish this woman with a single sword!"
When he said that, the people ambushed underground also all prepared themselves.
So what he didn't know, after shouting for a long time, Ye Liuyun remained completely unmoved. And the people linked by Divine Sense to him were becoming fewer and fewer.
He frowned, then coldly said, "Ye Liuyun, do you think I truly dare not kill her?" As he said so, he thrust his sword into the woman's right chest.
"See? This is the consequence of you not appearing!"
He said that with his mouth, but his Divine Sense kept constantly communicating with that woman and Jin Lei. "There's no way, I have to sacrifice you a bit, using a self‑inflicted pain tactic!"
Ye Liuyun, far away, merely smiled and kept killing nonstop. There were indeed many ambushers; those of Golden Core Ninth Level and above numbered at least a hundred, it seemed the Duan Tian Pavilion had deployed everyone. At this point, Ye Liuyun had only killed nearly half.
Soon, from Ye Liuyun's Alliance Token, news came: "Saint List rank 69, Saint List rank 61, Saint List rank 53."
Ye Liuyun's ranking kept rising. "It seems the circle of ambushers inside includes many elite disciples of the Duan Tian Pavilion!"
Ye Liuyun killed while sneering to himself.
Liu Tianfeng had already thrust several sword strikes at that woman, yet Ye Liuyun still did not appear. Sweat beaded on his forehead. He hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to remain so composed.
After a brief discussion, he loudly said, "Ye Liuyun, if you don't come out now, this woman's chastity may not be saved!"
As he said so, he flicked the tip of his sword, pulling a piece of the woman's shoulder clothing aside, exposing her snow‑white skin. "How's that? Need me to continue?" The woman, meanwhile, frantically shook her head and struggled in cooperation!
"The performance is quite convincing! If I didn't know, I'd easily be fooled. Keep acting, I'm not in a hurry!" Ye Liuyun whispered, pursed his lips in a smile, and continued slaying those ambushing him.
He was about three hundred li away from Liu Tianfeng; he whispered, but Liu Tianfeng could not hear a thing.
At this moment Liu Tianfeng was also stunned. He gritted his teeth, hardened his heart. "Ye Liuyun, don't regret!" he said, extending a demonic claw toward the inside of the woman's clothing.
This time Ye Liuyun didn't even glance. He had nearly finished killing the ambushers, and now was letting the Hell Mingshe command the Corpse Demons to begin the assault.
Masses of Corpse Demons, hidden beyond three hundred li, upon hearing the order, began charging toward the center. Such a massive movement caused the very ground to tremble.
Liu Tianfeng and the others' Divine Sense had not yet perceived the Corpse Demons, but they sensed the earth shaking. Liu Tianfeng immediately ceased his performance, dispersing his Divine Sense to investigate.
When they saw the Corpse Demons charging through, their expressions grew solemn. Most of these Corpse Demons were of lower realms than theirs, so they weren't overly worried, but this development forced them to alter their plan.
Liu Tianfeng thought for a moment, then used Transmission Voice to Jin Lei: "These Corpse Demons were certainly summoned by Ye Liuyun. In a moment we'll feign defeat and retreat, leaving your maid behind to ambush Ye Liuyun!"
"What if they weren't summoned by Ye Liuyun? Should we first untie the rope that's binding her? That way, if the Corpse Demons try to kill her, she can resist!" Jin Lei said.
Liu Tianfeng disagreed. "Wouldn't that expose us? Ye Liuyun is certainly already here, observing us from afar! Otherwise, why did I assault Lin Feier, only for the Corpse Demons to launch a strong attack? Do you really want to kill Ye Liuyun?"
"Fine! I'll follow your lead!" he said, and Jin Lei communicated with the maid, telling her to wait and ambush Ye Liuyun.
Soon, the Corpse Demon Army arrived. Those who had hidden underground also emerged one after another. When they came out, they realized that of the nearly hundred ambushers, only a little over twenty had emerged.
Jin Lei and Liu Tianfeng both cursed Ye Liuyun's cunning in their hearts, but could not show it now. They had to pretend to fight the Corpse Demons, while striking and retreating.
However, they also discovered that no Corpse Demon was attacking the bound 'Lin Feier', so they relaxed, withdrawing farther and farther.
After they had retreated far, several Corpse Demons of Golden Core Eighth and Ninth Levels suddenly lunged at the bound woman, extending claws together. The woman, still bound and unable to resist, was clawed into her body by a few Corpse Demons; her heart and Golden Core were crushed, and she died a gruesome death on the spot, ripped apart by the Corpse Demons!
She, though a female of the Heavenly Gang Realm, was the most unjustly killed, never getting a chance to resist before the Corpse Demons eliminated her!
"Ah!" Jin Lei let out a wail, then charged back. He had known the maid for many years and truly could not bear to lose her.
But Liu Tianfeng hurriedly blocked him. "Retreat quickly, the plan has been uncovered by Ye Liuyun!"
"Get lost!" Jin Lei shouted. "Your damn plan caught no one, and it even killed my maid!"
Jin Lei was now so enraged he lost his head! He slapped Liu Tianfeng away with a palm, then rushed toward the Corpse Demons that had killed the maid.
When Ye Liuyun saw him charge back, he immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack. Though his space‑crossing attack weakens over distance, Jin Lei's realm was low, so restraining him was still no problem.
"Jin Family Clan Chief! At last we meet, and the time has come for you to pay the price!" Ye Liuyun's Soul, confronting Jin Lei's Soul, slashed down with a single strike.
"Never thought I, Jin Lei, would keep falling into your hands!" Jin Lei at this moment was completely defeated, offering no resistance at all.
"Not only you! All of you Jin Family must pay the price!" Ye Liuyun's icy voice made Jin Lei's Soul feel chilling. Only now did he realize how terrifying a Killer God he had offended.
At that moment, other Corpse Demons also seized the chance, leaping up to tear his Physical Body apart.
"Retreat! Retreat!" The Jin Family, seeing Jin Lei dead, could no longer worry about the Duan Tian Pavilion disciples and turned to flee.
Ye Liuyun didn't stop them. They had several Martial Cultivators of Heavenly Gang Realm, who couldn't be halted for a while! His target remained primarily Liu Tianfeng.
