Chapter 3698: Hidden Power

The God King slowly shook his head: "From how quickly they are clearing out the Western Region's chamber of commerce, it's clear that Ye Liuyun has indeed returned. Keep searching! Send people to investigate the Southern Region Demon Race headquarters and the Northern Night Shadow headquarters as well."

The God King, after Bai Yunmu left, also couldn't help rubbing his head.

If he cannot be sure of Ye Liuyun's true location, rashly attacking his Clone Puppet would indeed risk provoking Ye Liuyun's retaliation.

He now hopes someone can eliminate Ye Liuyun's Clone Puppet during the contest, to draw Ye Liuyun out.

At this moment, the Clone Puppet, having won a round, was resting beneath the arena.

The battle on the arena continued, and fights between strong opponents aren't decided in an instant. He took the chance to observe some opponents' strength.

Most duels between experts are brief; knowing they're outmatched, they simply concede, and the opponent doesn't finish them off. Only Ye Liuyun would encounter opponents who insist on killing him.

The contest lasted until afternoon; only a few contestants died, and a few more withdrew with serious injuries.

Because the remaining participants exceeded thirty, Ye Liuyun entered the arena a second time.

This time, his opponent turned out to be a Martial Cultivator who concealed his realm; his true realm was the Fifth Stage of Dong Tian. The cultivator also carried several strong allies of the Second and Third Stages of Dong Tian, who had not previously entered the fight personally.

Ye Liuyun guessed that this battle would likely reveal some of his power; otherwise he couldn't possibly defeat that Martial Cultivator.

As expected, at the start of the contest, the cultivator released his companions—thirty‑two in total—half were strong Second and Third Stage of Dong Tian practitioners, the other half were of the First Stage of Dong Tian, and not even a Great Void Ninth Level cultivator.

The cultivator himself then attacked Ye Liuyun, clearly sent by his mortal enemy to try to kill him.

They thought Ye Liuyun's power should be shown by now; even if he still had a Trump Card, a Fifth Stage of Dong Tian cultivator could handle it.

Ye Liuyun immediately released the Kuailei and Monster Beast beside him; Gu Changhong, with Hei Hu and a demon concubine, set up a Formation, while Killer God and Bà Tiān helped fend off the ranged attacks.

Zhan Kong and Qian Meng stayed in place on standby. Several Monster Beasts tossed talismans outward to block attacks, buying Gu Changhong time to arrange the Formation.

Ye Liuyun, wielding the Item, shot down the two fastest‑charging Martial Cultivators, causing the others to recoil and slow down.

Three more cultivators released their Soul Sources, charging into the Sea of Consciousness of Ye Liuyun, Killer God and Bà Tiān, but none returned.

The ordinary Martial Cultivators lacked Divine Soul Power compared to them, so they never activated any Formation defense within the Sea of Consciousness; they simply poured their Soul Sources into it and were instantly annihilated.

Finally, before the opponents could charge, their Formation was completed. Any cultivator who surged forward was trapped by the Formation, and two more were slain on the spot by Killer God and Bà Tiān.

Ye Liuyun raised his hand and loosed two more arrows; the two cultivators were again blown apart, startling the others into retreating two steps.

"Charge! That kid can't fire many arrows now, and their Formation isn't unbreakable! We must cut them down today!"

The opposing Fifth Stage of Dong Tian cultivator shouted, no longer hiding his realm, unleashed all his strength, activated Spatial Power, and charged at Ye Liuyun.

Zhan Kong, behind Ye Liuyun, suddenly vanished, surged into the void, and intercepted that cultivator right there in the emptiness.

"Kill!" The cultivators opposite also rushed forward. Under someone else's control, they could only fight desperately.

Ye Liuyun's expression remained unchanged, standing steadily as he shot arrow after arrow. Moreover, the Item in his hands was even more powerful; anyone he aimed at was either dead or wounded.

The wounded were Martial Cultivators protected by armor and treasures, barely able to block his arrows.

The Nine-Head Demon Dragon swept with Technique, instantly cutting down several cultivators.

Two Xuanwu Monster Beasts had already deployed a Formation; after using Black Light to annihilate a cultivator, they immediately shifted positions.

The thirty‑two opposing cultivators were quickly halved.

"Boom—" the void burst open, and Zhan Kong and that cultivator surged out. Their Spatial Power was clearly evenly matched.

Zhan Kong's realm was slightly lower, but after channeling the ruby in his arm, he gained the upper hand, blasting the opponent's both arms to pieces.

The cultivator was restoring his injuries with True Essence when Ye Liuyun locked onto him with another arrow and fired.

In desperation, the cultivator tossed a treasure to block, but the arrow's aftershock still blasted him away, worsening his wounds.

Only then did Ye Liuyun sheath the Item and, wielding twin blades, charge at him.

"Block him!" the cultivator shouted, and two Third Stage of Dong Tian cultivators rushed to assault Ye Liuyun, but he cut each down with a single slash.

"Damn, this guy really concealed his power!" the opposing cultivator realized, noting that Ye Liuyun could easily slay even Third Stage of Dong Tian cultivators.

At that moment, Qian Meng behind Ye Liuyun moved, dashing toward the leading cultivator, while Zhan Kong slipped back into the void again, clearing a path for Qian Huan.

Gu Changhong, Hei Hu, Killer God and Bà Tiān also surged forward, pairing up, surrounding Ye Liuyun to share the pressure.

Only the Nine-Head Demon Dragon remained within the Formation, its apocalyptic Black Lotus still concealed. The two Xuanwu Monster Beasts gathered and began using treasures to capture the cultivators' souls.

Ye Liuyun, twin blades in hand, kept charging forward, slashing any approaching cultivator with a single stroke.

Meanwhile, the leading cultivator, as if maddened, charged at Ye Liuyun despite his unhealed wounds. In fact, he was already under Qian Meng's illusion, sent to deliver a head to Ye Liuyun.

He had just been gravely wounded; while distractedly treating his injuries, he fell under Qian Meng's illusion.

Ye Liuyun seized the chance, slashing his neck with one blade, then another strike cleaved his head apart.

Then everyone surrounded the remaining cultivators and exterminated them all, leaving no surrendering cultivator alive. They swiftly cleared the battlefield, gathering bodies, Storage Rings, weapons and other resources.

The entire arena was once again shocked by Ye Liuyun's sheer ferocity.

"Too ruthless, that's definitely a Killer God!"

"Did you notice? Every opponent who engages this kid gets wiped out, even surrendering is not accepted!"

Ye Liuyun didn't care about their chatter; these people came to kill him, so he shows no mercy. Capturing prisoners would reveal the strength of his Divine Soul Power, so he simply kills everyone to avoid future trouble.
