Chapter 367: Unending Frenzy

After Ye Liuyun left, his Divine Sense scanned the surrounding environment.

"The Corpse Demons here are indeed generally a realm higher than those in the Northern Region!"

Ye Liuyun released the others from the Storage Ring. "Let's have a good fight, then go back to prepare for a breakthrough!"

He also drew his Demon Slaying Sword and rushed toward an Altar. The occasional Heavenly Gang Realm Corpse Demons were all having their souls devoured by the Hell Mingshe.

His blade intent gradually rose during the battle. The domineering intent on him grew stronger as well. Low‑realm Corpse Demons didn't dare approach him at all.

Moreover, his blade intent requires no True Essence, so fighting it saves a lot of stamina. Relying only on momentum, even Golden Core Ninth Level Corpse Demons cannot block a single strike.

Once the fight starts, Ye Liuyun enters a self‑less state, fighting wildly without pause, hacking away continuously, even forgetting the passage of time.

Where these people passed, a trail of Corpse Demon corpses was left behind.

Not long after, the commotion of their battle attracted more and more Corpse Demons, but they still couldn't halt their advance.

All of them fought across stages, digging into their potential. Except for Ye Liuyun, when the others grew tired they let Ye Liuyun store them in the Storage Ring, have them recover inside the Xuan Kong Shi, then release them to fight again.

Until dusk, after Lei Ming emerged for the third time, exhausted, and shouted for food, Ye Liuyun finally let the Hell Mingshe control the surrounding Corpse Demons and drive them away.

"This fight was exhilarating! I feel my blade intent has risen a lot," Ye Liuyun said happily while grilling meat for everyone.

"Indeed! Our realms are becoming more stable; we'll be able to breakthrough soon!" the others also felt they had gained much.

Their battle during the day had already attracted many people. Whether they wanted to recruit them or join them, Ye Liuyun turned them all away.

The scent of the night‑time barbecue drew even more people.

Besides the barbecue aroma, what puzzled these people was why the Corpse Demons didn't attack them. Lighting a fire at night in a Corpse Demon‑ridden area is essentially attracting them.

Yet in this vicinity there isn't a single Corpse Demon; even when one passes by, it goes around.

At the gathering point, He Yue, Feng Wu‑hen, Feng Jie and others who wanted to recruit Ye Liuyun had already recruited over ten people and, drawn by the scent, rushed here.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense spotted them from afar, and he complained, "Those annoying people are back! Seriously, they won't even let me have a peaceful meal!"

Everyone knew a fight was about to break out, so they hurriedly finished the barbecue in their hands.

Soon, the distance between the sides closed, and those people also saw Ye Liuyun.

"It's that kid, still alive! And he's got a few beauties with him!" Feng Jie exclaimed in surprise, "He really knows how to enjoy himself!"

"Ye Liuyun!" At that moment, a Northern Region disciple in his party recognized Ye Liuyun. The other Northern Region disciples immediately halted.

"Who? Is that the kid's name?" Feng Wu‑hen asked disdainfully.

"His name is Ye Liuyun! He's a killing star of our Northern Region. He wiped out the Jin Family, one of the four great clans of the Central Region! Our Northern Region's Duan Tian Pavilion was also destroyed by him! Never provoke him!" the Northern disciple said, fear still in his eyes.

"Is this kid really that strong?" Feng Jie looked toward Ye Liuyun, puzzled.

"Let's just drop it, we shouldn't go over there! We had no grudge to begin with, no need to cause trouble." He Yue also clearly didn't want trouble.

Feng Wu‑hen laughed, "Would I be scared of a Fifth‑Level Golden Core kid? Don't listen to those baseless rumors. There's no one here, perfect for my revenge. This kid dared to hurt my Divine Sense; how could I let him go?"

Saying that, he charged forward first, and the others followed. He Yue, helpless, had to follow as well to see.

"It's not a rumor!" the Northern disciple muttered. The few of them dared not advance, merely waiting in place, watching.

Ye Liuyun's mouth twitched slightly. "Since you brought this on yourself, don't blame me!"

When they arrived, Feng Wu‑hen coldly said to Ye Liuyun, "Our score should be settled! Come out and fight!"

Feng Jie, joining the commotion, said to the beauties near Ye Liuyun, "Ladies, I, Senior Brother Feng, am ranked twenty‑first on the Sacred List. From now on, follow us; this kid offended my senior brother and will be eliminated immediately!"

Feng Wu‑hen was also pleased with Feng Jie's flattery, swept his gaze over the other women, and his eyes lit up. "I didn't notice before, but now I see these women are really quite pretty!"

"Hmph! I think you're the ones who'll be eliminated," Lei Ming mocked.

Wu Qingcheng and the others all smiled. That smile almost made Feng Wu‑hen stare blankly. He felt that every frown or smile from Wu Qingcheng could melt his soul, far surpassing He Yue beside him.

"Senior Brother Feng!" He Yue, seeing Feng Wu‑hen's dazed look, called him displeased.

If it were before, Feng Wu‑hen would have rushed over to coax her, but this time he not only remained unmoved, he stepped forward two more paces and asked Wu Qingcheng, "How should I address you, miss?"

Wu Qingcheng turned to Ye Liuyun. "Another rogue; kill him now to avoid future trouble!"

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun replied, then glanced at Feng Jie and said to Lei Ming, "That one's for you!"

"Alright!" Lei Ming also sprang up, charging toward Feng Jie.

Ye Liuyun drew his Demon Slaying Sword. "You dare to make a move on my woman? You must be bored to death!"

In an instant, a ferocious blade intent erupted from Ye Liuyun, startling the opponents and making their hearts tremble.

Feng Wu‑hen was also startled, but he said, "Some skill! But your blade intent still isn't enough to watch!"

"Is that so? I'm only afraid you'll die watching!"

As Ye Liuyun spoke, the blade‑intent seed in his Sea of Consciousness erupted, a domineering blade intent crushing Feng Wu‑hen's breath, while a blade over eighty zhang long, formed from the intent, slashed straight at Feng Wu‑hen.

Feng Wu‑hen's True Essence was blocked, so he presumed he couldn't resist and released a Soul, launching a Spiritual Soul Attack at Ye Liuyun.

The Soul attack has always been his trump card. His Soul had been cultivated to Soul Master Level 7, giving him two Souls. Thus he released his strongest Soul to attack Ye Liuyun.

His Soul attack was unmatched even by a Heavenly Gang Realm Second‑Tier Martial Cultivator. Yet when it surged into Ye Liuyun, it immediately lost its link to him.

"Puff!"

His Soul was back‑fired, spitting a mouthful of blood violently.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun's blade intent also struck. Feng Wu‑hen had no strength to retaliate and was sliced by Ye Liuyun into powder, leaving no bones.

Ye Liuyun's Token instantly transmitted a message: his ranking on the Sacred List had risen to twenty‑first.

"How could this be?" He Yue could not believe what she saw. She had thought Feng Wu‑hen invincible, yet he couldn't even withstand a single strike from Ye Liuyun.

"Feng Wu‑hen is protected by the Alliance, why isn't a Metal Puppet appearing?" she muttered.

"Me too!" Ye Liuyun said, but his eyes were fixed on Lei Ming's fight.
