Chapter 368: Three‑Eyed Foreign Tribe

Lei Ming did not transform into a beast form. Instead, she wielded a silver hammer, fighting Feng Jie in human shape.

The silver great hammer flashed with blood‑colored lightning, smashing Feng Jie and forcing him to stagger backward continuously.

"Relying on a Spirit‑Grade weapon to bully me, what skill is that!" Feng Jie could no longer bear it and shouted.

"Ah! You say I took advantage of you? Fine, I won't use a Spirit‑Grade weapon and will still defeat you!" Lei Ming said, puffing out her belly. She then sheathed the hammer, drew two daggers from her waist, and attacked Feng Jie again.

Just as she rushed forward, Feng Jie suddenly produced a Spirit‑Grade long sword and slashed at Lei Ming!

Ye Liuyun had intended to intervene, but held back! Letting Lei Ming take a hit would make her less gullible in the future. Yet his heart raced with anxiety, fearing Lei Ming might be seriously injured!

Lei Ming did not expect the opponent to use that move. In the critical moment, a sudden beast roar shocked Feng Jie, nearly causing him to drop his sword.

Lei Ming's body suddenly swelled, Blood Thunder enveloped her, pushing Feng Jie away. Yet Feng Jie's slash still struck her left shoulder. The Spirit‑Grade weapon scratched Lei Ming's scale armor, causing blood to flow!

The sudden turn startled Feng Jie, who stared at the mountain‑sized thunder dragon beast before him, his mouth hanging open in shock!

Lei Ming was truly enraged. Thick bolts of Blood Thunder, as wide as water buckets, rained nonstop on Feng Jie, blasting him into ash!

Roar!

Lei Ming let out a great roar toward the remaining people, causing them to step back in fear. He Yue, however, collapsed onto the ground.

"Feng Jie is dead too!"

She stared in disbelief at everything before her. She never imagined that her supposedly strong senior brother Feng Wind and Feng Jie would be defeated so easily by the opponent. Truly a pushover!

Ye Liuyun may appear to be at a low realm, but his combat power is overwhelming; even the Monster Beast beside him is incredibly fierce, already fighting at the Third Layer Realm.

Lei Ming's anger had not yet faded, and she tried to seize Feng Jie's long sword for venting, but Ye Liuyun's quick eyes and hands snatched the sword away. He said to Lei Ming, "I'm taking this sword! You're still angry—who told you to believe everything others say! I'll grill some meat for you, consider it compensation for your injuries."

Lei Ming glared at Ye Liuyun with righteous vigor, her front claws thundering twice on the ground, shaking the earth as if protesting Ye Liuyun. Upon hearing him mention grilling meat, her anger eased a bit; she transformed back into human form and rushed over.

Ye Liuyun examined the wound on her back, gave her a Healing Pill, and then actually grilled some meat for her.

Bai Hu and Shi Yuan reverted to their true forms and lunged at the remaining people.

The remaining people had long lost their fighting spirit; seeing two more Monster Beasts appear, they all turned and fled.

"Enough!" Ye Liuyun didn't let Bai Hu and Shi Yuan chase them; he merely drove them away, since they held no real hostility toward him.

He Yue heard Ye Liuyun recall Bai Hu and Shi Yuan, gave him a grateful glance, and led the group away.

After they returned, they finally saw the few Northern Territory disciples waiting in the distance!

The disciple who first recognized Ye Liuyun sighed and said, "I warned you earlier not to provoke that Killing Star, but you didn't believe me. Now you see, right?"

Another added, "Luckily he never intended to kill you; otherwise you couldn't have escaped! He not only has a Tian Gang Liu Chong puppet, but can also summon a Corpse Demon Army. At his command, the nearby Corpse Demons would all come. You didn't see any Corpse Demon approach even when he was grilling meat here!"

"Then why didn't you say so earlier!" a Eastern Territory disciple snarled, grabbing his collar.

"You left before we finished speaking! How can you blame us!" the Northern Territory disciple shouted in panic.

"Enough!" He Yue, irritated by their bickering, let out a sudden shout. Calmly he said, "We can't blame others; we're only to blame our own arrogance! Stop arguing, let's return to the rendezvous point!"

She now had no Feng Wu Hen leading the team and dared not venture deeper. She could only seek stronger allies and join another group's party.

Ye Liuyun, while grilling meat for Lei Ming, instructed her, "You're improving; now you even listen to the enemy's words!"

"Who knew he was so cunning!" Lei Ming complained.

Ye Liuyun tapped her head and warned, "Remember, regardless of deceit, when fighting an enemy you must eliminate it as quickly as possible, without worrying about the method. Got it?"

"Oh! Got it!" Lei Ming hurriedly nodded, then immediately grabbed a piece of grilled meat and began gnawing.

After Lei Ming ate the grilled meat, Ye Liuyun re‑examined her wound; the cut had closed, leaving only a faint reddish mark.

"Never be that foolish again, understand?" Ye Liuyun said with a hint of concern.

"Big brother, you feel sorry for me?" Lei Ming's big eyes flickered at him, making him a bit embarrassed.

Lei Ming cheered, diving headfirst into Ye Liuyun's arms, cooing affectionately.

"Alright! Now that we're fed and rested, let's press on, kill a few more, and reach the Altar before dawn. There'll be another big battle then! Everyone stay cautious from now on."

Ye Liuyun patted Lei Ming and led the group onward.

From then on, he stopped using sword intent, instead wielding the newly seized long sword, relying solely on his Physical Body's strength to fight the Corpse Demons.

Midway through the journey, Lei Ming retreated into the Xuan Kong Shi to breakthrough. Wu Qingcheng, Yu Er, and Ru Yue all went back to rest. Only Shi Yuan and Bai Hu, equally belligerent, stayed; so Ye Liuyun took the two of them and kept pressing forward.

The final three were all covered in wounds, yet their bodies radiated murderous aura!

"You two, go rest as well; there might be another battle at the Altar. I'm done fighting, taking a break before preparing to assault the Altar."

Ye Liuyun stored the two in a Storage Ring, took a Healing Elixir, donned the Invisibility Cloak, and moved toward the city where the Altar stood.

From afar, he projected his Divine Sense to scout the city's interior.

Inside the city, there were over twenty Corpse Demons of the Heavenly Gang Realm, and the Altar's location exuded an extremely strong evil aura.

Ye Liuyun was startled, silently speculating, "An Alien Evil Artifact guards here? Even with a Skeleton Puppet, I might not match that artifact."

He was pondering when a powerful Divine Sense wave surged from the city, and immediately an evil aura locked onto him.

"Human, now that you're here, you won't leave!"

An Alien Evil Artifact hovered above the city, staring toward Ye Liuyun. Besides its two normal eyes, it bore a third eye on its forehead—closed, not opened. The creature had no horns and was covered in black scale armor.

"Alien Evil Artifacts can look like this? What a sight!" Ye Liuyun, sensing its realm as Tian Gang Liu Chong, breathed a sigh of relief. His attempt to flee halted instantly.

"This alien isn't simple; even with the Invisibility Cloak, it can pinpoint my location!" Ye Liuyun thought.
