Chapter 364: Not Yet Calculated

Liu Tianfeng and the disciples of Duan Tian Pavilion are currently surrounded by the Corpse Demon army.

At this moment they are no longer staging a fake fight; they are desperately battling the Corpse Demons, trying to carve out a way to survive!

Ye Liuyun released Qiong Qi and Lin Feier, then moved toward them. Only then did Liu Tianfeng see Ye Liuyun's true form.

When he saw Lin Feier beside Ye Liuyun, everything clicked instantly. It turned out Ye Liuyun had been playing him all along; Lin Feier had long been rescued by Ye Liuyun.

By now, only a handful of Liu Tianfeng's disciples remained by his side!

"Fine! Ye Liuyun, I admit you're a step ahead! But you can't kill me at all—I'm a member protected by the Alliance!" Liu Tianfeng said, looking at Ye Liuyun provocatively.

He also acknowledged that he had lost a round. Yet Ye Liuyun still couldn't kill him; he still had a chance to turn the tide.

Speaking so, he activated his Token and summoned a Metal Puppet. Ye Liuyun likewise immediately activated his Token and summoned a Metal Puppet.

Unexpectedly, after a spatial fluctuation only a single Metal Puppet arrived, and addressed both of them: "Since you two are both Alliance Guardians, for fairness you may engage in a life‑or‑death duel under my supervision, with no one else intervening. The victor will receive the Alliance's protection."

Liu Tianfeng was stunned; he hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to also be an Alliance Guardian. "Can we not use the Puppet either?"

The Metal Puppet replied immediately: "Neither of you specializes in the Puppet path as a Martial Cultivator, so you may not use a Puppet."

"Fine, I accept a duel!" Liu Tianfeng agreed at once, also drawing a holy artifact for Spiritual Soul Attack and hanging it around his neck.

He thought that without a Puppet, Ye Liuyun would be doomed if he used the holy artifact to block the Spiritual Soul Attack.

"I agree as well!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun also consented!

"Humph, this is a test of strength, and you still dare to answer—your courage is commendable!" Liu Tianfeng's smug smile returned, and he said boldly, unafraid.

"I love opponents as arrogant as you!" Ye Liuyun smiled, drew the Demon Slaying Sword from his back. He intended to test the blade‑intent seed's power on Liu Tianfeng. Since mastering it, he hadn't had a chance to spar with anyone.

Everyone stepped back, clearing space for their duel. Lin Feier anxiously asked Qiong Qi: "Can Young Master Ye defeat Liu Tianfeng, who's at Golden Core Ninth Level, without a Puppet or Spiritual Soul Attack?"

"I'm not too sure of his strength, but I know he isn't foolish! Since he dared to accept, he should be able to win!" Qiong Qi replied nonchalantly.

Upon seeing the holy artifact Liu Tianfeng produced, he realized it couldn't block Ye Liuyun's Spiritual Soul Attack. Yet it was clear Ye Liuyun didn't intend to win with that attack, so he must have his own plan.

Lin Feier also thought his words reasonable, but she still watched the two of them anxiously as they prepared to strike.

Both combatants gathered their forces. Liu Tianfeng's True Essence surged, unmistakably displaying the aura of Golden Core Ninth Level.

Meanwhile Ye Liuyun showed no True Essence fluctuation, yet his overwhelming aura was rapidly climbing. The blade‑intent seed in his Sea of Consciousness blossomed with light, releasing its blade intent outward.

Ye Liuyun's blade intent at this moment surpassed any mortal's understanding; it was far beyond what a Martial Cultivator of the Golden Core realm could resist with True Essence.

Confronted with that blade intent, Liu Tianfeng felt a hidden dread, sensing his own momentum being gradually suppressed, a sudden sense of helplessness. In his eyes, Ye Liuyun's figure grew towering, like an emperor gazing down upon him.

A blade‑shaped phantom over seventy zhang long coalesced instantly as Ye Liuyun raised his Demon Slaying Sword.

"Die!" Ye Liuyun barked coldly, slashing down with a single stroke!

"How can this kid wield such strong blade intent! My True Essence can't even condense!" Liu Tianfeng panicked internally.

Watching the blade descend, he could not muster a proper counterattack. He instantly realized he was about to be defeated.

He immediately begged Ye Liuyun for mercy: "I concede, I'm willing to make restitution!"

Ye Liuyun remained unmoved, continuing his slash. "Lin Feier is unharmed; why must you go for total annihilation? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from my Liu family?"

Ye Liuyun still remained unmoved.

At that moment, an elder of the Fifth Heavenly Gang appeared in the sky and said to Ye Liuyun: "Young Master Ye, show some mercy. I am Liu Fei, a Heavenly Gang elder of the Alliance. On behalf of the Liu family, I am willing to compensate for Liu Tianfeng."

"You're too late!" Ye Liuyun said, and finally a blade came down.

"Ah!"

Liu Tianfeng let out a harrowing scream, instantly sliced into shredded flesh that scattered in all directions!

"You… that was too extreme, wasn't it?" The elder, though angry, dared not strike.

He knew what being under the Alliance's protection meant. If he dared act, the Metal Puppet would also attack him, and even more Metal Puppets would rush in to eliminate him.

"Did I act extreme? Perhaps it's your Liu family that's being reckless. I warn you, when you speak to me, put away your clan's threatening act, it does nothing for me! The scheme Liu Tianfeng plotted against me is not yet settled; I'll come personally to demand an explanation!"

Ye Liuyun sheathed his sword, staring coldly at Liu Fei, showing no fear of his status or realm.

At that moment, his Token again notified him that his ranking on the Sacred List had risen to the twenty‑ninth place.

The Duan Tian Pavilion disciples present were now completely annihilated by the Corpse Demons.

Ye Liuyun released a warship, loading all the Corpse Demons onto it, then ordered: "Target the Jin Family—kill them all, leave none alive!"

"You, as an Alliance member, actually control Corpse Demons to attack the Human Race, what crime have you committed? I'll report you to the Alliance!" Liu Fei thought for a moment, then prepared to accuse Ye Liuyun.

"Since the Jin Family didn't resist the Corpse Demons, I'm just giving them a chance to fight them. Why is the Liu family so anxious? Go ahead and complain; I'm not afraid of threats!"

While speaking, he also sucked Liu Tianfeng's Storage Ring toward him, saying with a hint of sarcasm: "I'll first collect some interest on the compensation!"

Then, he ignored Liu Fei, and once again placed Qiong Qi and Lin Feier back into the Storage Ring, then donned the Invisibility Cloak and vanished before Liu Fei.

Liu Fei, his expression solemn, immediately took out a Transmission Talisman, contacting the Liu Clan chief to decide how to proceed. The Jin Family's previous misstep made him truly hesitant to act rashly.

He also realized that Ye Liuyun was a fearless killing star! The more he was threatened, the harsher his attacks. Moreover, Ye Liuyun's methods were so bizarre that he could disappear right before him and still command the Corpse Demon Army.

This meant he could strike any great clan at any time without even appearing himself. Though these Corpse Demon armies lacked the strength of Heavenly Gang elites, their sheer numbers were massive! Wherever they attacked a clan, the losses would be enormous.

Hearing Ye Liuyun's earlier words, it seemed he still intended to demand compensation from the Liu family.

He knew that when Ye Liuyun previously claimed compensation from the Jin Family, the Jin Family suffered terribly.

He dared not hide any detail, fearing his emotions might sway the clan's judgment. After reporting, he returned directly to the Liu family, awaiting further inquiries.
