Chapter 3700: Rapid Kill

At the same time, the Nine-Head Demon Dragon, also wearing an Invisibility Cloak, activated the world‑ending Black Lotus and killed the guards following Ye Liuyun.

Black Light enveloped those guards, and in a moment a multitude of guard corpses floated in Xingkong.

The two Xuanwu Monster Beasts and the Nine-Head Demon Dragon were quietly released by Ye Liuyun during his flight to ambush the Ninth Divine Son, intending to kill him with a single blow.

Even if he couldn't kill him, Ye Liuyun could still strike back in time.

But Ye Liuyun still overestimated the Ninth Divine Son; although his Sea of Consciousness contained a Defense Artifact, it failed to block the Black Light. The Black Light pierced the Defense Artifact and annihilated the Divine Son's Soul.

If the Ninth Divine Son had the Golden Light of Fortune to bolster him, it might have blocked the Black Light. However, he is merely a Divine Son; once he leaves the Royal City and Xingqiu, the protective effect of Fortune becomes negligible.

Ye Liuyun immediately released the powerful Kuailei around him and began slaying those Martial Cultivators. The Nine-Head Demon Dragon and the Xuanwu then erased all traces of the battlefield and, from afar, concealed themselves in Xingkong to prevent any escape.

Ye Liuyun also brandished two demonic blades, activating the red rubies on them, and with full force cut down the Martial Cultivators—one slash per person, no one could withstand it.

The others also coordinated, killing the Martial Cultivators at a very rapid pace.

The strong ones of the Dòngtiān Jìngjiè, who could normally dominate a region, fell before them like paper—collapsing as easily as chopping a melon or vegetable.

It was only at this point that they realized how terrifying Ye Liuyun and his group were.

"Retreat quickly; we are no match for them! Take the news that the Ninth Divine Son was killed back to the Royal Palace and let the God King deal with it!"

A Martial Cultivator sensed something was wrong, turned to flee, but was intercepted and slain by Zhan Kong.

Someone tried to escape past Zhan Kong, but before getting far, was struck by Black Light, and their Soul was annihilated.

"It's over; we can't get out!" Only then did they realize they had been tricked.

But Ye Liuyun's side kept pressing; within moments, more than half of them were killed.

【7】 The remaining dozen or so Martial Cultivators immediately surrendered; this time Ye Liuyun accepted their surrender, placed a Slave Seal on each, sealed them into the Space World, then led everyone to promptly erase the traces and rushed back to the Li Family.

The remaining over ten Martial Cultivators immediately surrendered, Ye Liuyun, however, this time accepted their surrender, after planting a Slave Seal on each of them he collected them into the Space World, then leading everyone he immediately cleared the traces, and then immediately rushed back to the Li Family.

On the way, he used a Transmission Talisman to inform Lǐ Chéngfēng of the facts.

"Is it still convenient for me to stay at the Li Family? If you think it's dangerous, I'll move elsewhere," Ye Liuyun asked bluntly. M..

Lǐ Chéngfēng was also startled; he was amazed that Ye Liuyun had resolved so many pursuers so quickly.

After thinking it over, he told Ye Liuyun to discard any tracking devices on the Divine Son and other subordinates, then return to the Li Family, and he also confirmed the wording with Ye Liuyun.

When Ye Liuyun returned to the Li Family, the scouts who had been guarding outside did not expect him to be back so quickly. Tracking people in Xingkong is too conspicuous and easily spotted, so none dared to follow; they could only wait in place.

Lǐ Chéngfēng also pretended surprise and asked Ye Liuyun, "How did you return so quickly?"

"Ha ha, I slipped that bunch of fools with a little trick; they're still chasing forward in Xingkong!" Ye Liuyun said, his voice tinged with pride.

Then he entered the Li Family together with Lǐ Chéngfēng. The Li Family pretended to activate a Defense Array, as if fearing the Ninth Divine Son might return.

The scouts outside immediately reported to their master; no one expected Ye Liuyun to eliminate so many pursuers in such a short time.

Only the God King knows that the Ninth Divine Son was taken down. The Divine Son's soul talisman left in the Royal Palace was shattered.

"Ye Liuyun really has guts, daring to strike the Divine Son directly; looks like I'll have to meet him personally tomorrow."

The God King also decided to meet Ye Liuyun in person tomorrow.

Ye Liuyun is now contemplating how to respond if the God King makes a move tomorrow.

Admitting to killing the Ninth Divine Son is certainly impossible. He is only concerned that the God King has already laid a trap, to…

…strike him preemptively.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun has already ordered the Western, Southern, and Northern armies to begin gathering, fully equipped and ready. If the God King forcibly seizes the Clone Puppet, the three armies will simultaneously charge toward the Central Dynasty.

Thus the God King received the news that night of the three armies' gathering and preparation. Especially the Southern and Western armies assembled the fastest, expected to reach the Central Dynasty's border in half a day.

The Northern army gathered more slowly, since it had only recently come under Wang Wenli's command and had not yet been battle‑tested.

The God King immediately realized that Ye Liuyun was already preparing. So he also considered whether to act against Ye Liuyun in advance.

Within Ye Liuyun's Space World, everyone is preparing for tomorrow's battle; it could become a cataclysmic war. As soon as the God King gives the order, the Martial Cultivators present will surely strike them down.

"Should we abandon the contest and return to the Western Region first? As long as you leave, the God King will definitely postpone acting against you," Lǐ Chéngfēng suggested to Ye Liuyun.

"But I need to see the God King's attitude, understand his true intentions. If I leave now, it will be difficult to infiltrate the Central Dynasty later."

Ye Liuyun also considered leaving first, but still felt that since he must face it sooner or later, it's better to act early. He believes giving the God King more time will only allow him to prepare more thoroughly.

Lǐ Chéngfēng did not object to Ye Liuyun's decision; after the Li Family confirmed cooperation with Ye Liuyun, they had already prepared to face the God King's actions.

Besides installing a Teleportation Array within the mansion, the Li Family's other descendants are also not in the Central Dynasty. If trouble arises, they each have safe places to hide.

Time quickly passed to the next day; Ye Liuyun, as usual, rushed to the arena under the Li Family's guards' protection.

Most of the audience did not know what happened last night, but some influential factions had already learned of the Ninth Divine Son's death.

They were surprised both by Ye Liuyun's strength and his audacity. They also speculated on the God King's stance, paying unusual attention to today's contest; if things go wrong, the world could plunge into chaos.

When Ye Liuyun entered the arena, he instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Did you really kill the Ninth Divine Son last night?" Li Yuan was the first to approach and ask via Transmission Voice.

"It wasn't me! I only learned this morning that he was killed. I merely diverted him at the time; I suspect someone tried to frame me," Ye Liuyun said, feigning sincere honesty to Li Yuan.

"Huh? Is everything you said true?" Li Yuan asked Ye Liuyun in surprise.

"Do I need to lie to you? I dared to admit killing the Seventh Divine Son; why wouldn't I admit killing the Ninth?" Ye Liuyun said seriously.

Li Yuan immediately relayed Ye Liuyun's exact words to the God King, leaving Wang Tianqi, who was about to rush to the arena, completely confused. Recent code conversions have been severe, giving us more motivation, faster updates; please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
