Chapter 3649: Bloodline Assassin
"Rune Attack!"
Ye Liuyun did not hesitate and immediately ordered everyone to launch a rune attack. Gu Changhong also stepped in this time, continuously casting sealing runes to restrict the Mingshe's attacks.
The Demon King, Bà Tiān, Black Tiger and Thousand Illusions all stood guard around Ye Liuyun, keeping watch for him.
Ye Liuyun then drew the Godslaying Bow and shot an arrow at the Mingshe's head.
Locked by the Godslaying Bow's ferocity, the Mingshe startled. Gu Changhong's sealing rune formation already made it feel deeply endangered, and this made it even more alarmed.
It did not expect humans could use such a method against it. It immediately released its Soul, hoping to kill Ye Liuyun and Gu Changhong with the advantage of Divine Soul Power, but after its Soul burst out of the Sea of Consciousness, it seemed to hit an invisible wall and was reflected back.
At this moment, Li Yuan also activated his Black Pupil, beginning to devour the Mingshe's Soul power.
With a booming blast, the Mingshe was only at the Third Stage of Dong Tian, while Ye Liuyun's arrow from the Godslaying Bow carried the power of the Fifth Stage of Dong Tian.
The snake's head was blown apart by Ye Liuyun's arrow; now its Soul could not return to the Sea of Consciousness. The Mingshe's Physical Body collapsed instantly.
"Swish"—a Black Shadow seized the chance and rushed toward Ye Liuyun.
The Demon King beside Ye Liuyun reacted swiftly, charging at the Black Shadow. Then, with another booming blast, a killer was blown apart by the Demon King into a cloud of blood mist.
"Aoo!"
At that moment, the Mingshe let out a roar, unleashing all its Soul power; despite some loss to its Soul, it broke through Gu Changhong's sealing formation and charged straight at Ye Liuyun, evidently seeking revenge for its Physical Body.
Li Yuan, seeing this, immediately stopped devouring the Mingshe's Soul, intending to use the Mingshe to eliminate Ye Liuyun first.
After the Mingshe lost its Physical Body, only its Soul form remained. Though it could not absorb it all at once, it was no longer worried.
He felt relieved inside; had Ye Liuyun not blasted the Mingshe's Physical Body with a single arrow, he would have needed several Kuailei to deal with the Mingshe.
"Another opponent gone, that kid is doomed! There's still another killer!"
At that instant, Li Yuan spotted another killer, dashing into the freshly burst blood mist and charging at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun now sensed a sense of danger, not from the Mingshe, but from the still‑concentrated blood mist.
The Kuailei Bà Tiān beside him kept his eyes on this last killer and lunged forward with its Physical Body.
What no one expected was that Bà Tiān met only a desiccated corpse draped in an invisibility cloak.
Then the blood mist suddenly drifted toward Ye Liuyun. Before it arrived, the Mingshe's Soul surged straight into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.
Qian Meng, who tried to block the Mingshe's Soul, was blasted away by its overwhelming Divine Soul Power. Black Tiger's immobilizing formation was also shattered by the Mingshe's powerful Soul.
Logically, with such a mighty Soul, Ye Liuyun should have at least been stunned briefly when fighting it.
Yet he did not pause a moment; his entire body erupted with terrifying Bloodline Power, instantly pinning the blood mist in place.
"Collect!"
In the next instant, Ye Liuyun used Spatial Power to compress the blood mist and draw it into the Sea of Consciousness.
His Golden Pupil saw clearly that the blood mist contained a person's entire Bloodline Power, with its Soul fused inside. Such an assassination method must stem from the mindset of someone who, if unable to kill the opponent, chooses to become a martyr.
When Xue Wu Hen's Soul was enveloped by the Ten Thousand Gods Command's Golden Light, he realized that the Underworld God had already been shrunk by the Ten Thousand Gods Command, still struggling but unable to break free of the Golden Light's shackles.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun also opened a void, intending to absorb the Mingshe's Soul into the Soul‑Refining Cauldron.
Seeing the Soul‑Refining Cauldron, the Mingshe knew it was doomed and immediately pleaded with Ye Liuyun, asking for mercy and offering to hand over control of the Secret Realm.
Ye Liuyun, upon hearing this, thought of another question for the Mingshe and first placed a Slave Seal on it, postponing its death.
Xue Wu Hen did not struggle, merely asking Ye Liuyun whether the female killer's Soul was still present.
Learning that the female killer's Soul indeed remained, he excitedly requested Ye Liuyun to transfer her Soul as well, wishing to die together with her.
"Why should I help you fulfill your dying wish?" Ye Liuyun retorted.
Xue Wu Hen thought for a moment, then said to Ye Liuyun, "I cannot reveal Ye Ying's information, but I can tell you a secret of the Central Dynasty."
"Tell me then; if it benefits me, I will grant your request," Ye Liuyun's voice came across calmly.
Meanwhile, outside Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, Xue Wu Hen's and the Mingshe's Physical Bodies fell to the ground simultaneously.
Xue Wu Hen's Physical Body became a desiccated corpse; he had embraced certain death, draining all his power out of his body.
The Mingshe's massive Physical Body could support a lot of food. Ye Liuyun casually collected the Mingshe's corpse and then looked toward Li Yuan.
"Interesting!"
Li Yuan also looked at Ye Liuyun, originally thinking that without his intervention Ye Liuyun was doomed, but he didn't expect Ye Liuyun not only eliminated the Mingshe but also instantly killed Xue Wu Hen.
After witnessing this assassination method, he realized it was Ye Ying's top killer, Xue Wu Hen. Only Xue Wu Hen could attack others in this way.
"I didn't expect your Sea of Consciousness to contain a treasure; your Bloodline Power is so strong!"
Li Yuan continued chatting with Ye Liuyun, showing no hint of worry.
Ye Liuyun didn't mind his earlier deliberate leniency; they were opponents, and Li Yuan using the Mingshe against him was normal.
"I'm curious about the functions of your two pupils," Ye Liuyun chatted with him.
"Just try it and you'll know," Li Yuan said provocatively.
At the same time, Gu Changhong, the Demon King, Bà Tiān, Black Tiger and Qian Meng all began to surround Li Yuan and the Kuailei beside him.
"If you want a group brawl, I'm certainly not a match; I must decline! I can't beat you, but I can still run away," Li Yuan said to Ye Liuyun, proposing a duel.
Ye Liuyun then used Transmission Voice to tell the others to hold back. He also wanted to spar with Li Yuan to test his pupil abilities.
Seeing everyone pause, Li Yuan's mouth twitched upward. In his view, Ye Liuyun, like those other rich heirs, was reckless and unaware of death.
If not for Black Tiger and Gu Changhong, the two rune masters, he would have no reservations. He remained confident in his pupils, and his cultivation realm was far higher than Ye Liuyun's.
