Chapter 3772: Thunderfire Inferno

After Ye Liuyun and his allies completed the encirclement of the opposing 300,000-strong army, they finally prepared to act.

"Golden Crow Fire Spirit, emerge, I've found you a chance to act recklessly!"

Ye Liuyun released the Golden Crow Fire Spirit.

The power of his few Fire Spirits and Lightning Spirits is too great; he rarely releases them. The current strength of the Fire Spirits and Lightning Spirits can, by fire alone, annihilate early-stage Martial Cultivators of the Cavern Heaven without problem.

Ye Liuyun thought that the present situation was perfect for the Fire Spirits and Lightning Spirits to act.

The Golden Crow Fire Spirit was released first. Its golden‑red form, like a solid Golden Crow, appeared in the Xingkong. The massive Golden Crow seemed large enough to surpass even the Golden Roc.

The crucial point was the scorching golden flame that illuminated the entire Xingkong. The soldiers around the Fire Spirit were instantly turned to ash, without even a chance to scream.

Sss!

The Golden Crow Fire Spirit surveyed the surroundings and, excited, let out a screech.

"Burn it, scorch everything!"

Ye Liuyun also gave the order.

From afar, on a Flying Boat a day's journey from Ye Liuyun, Wan Xinghai and the others saw the Golden Light.

"What is that? The sun? It seems to have wings and is still moving!"

They were far away and couldn't see clearly.

"I'll go! To be visible from this distance, no wonder Brother Ye had Shào Donglái and the others hide first; something big must be happening there!" Jin Biao shouted outright.

"Hurry, go see!" Xiao Qing urged Wan Xinghai.

Wan Xinghai was unmoved: "Are you sure this is something we can get involved in?"

"... Get a bit closer, but not too close!" Xiao Qing immediately changed her tone.

Wan Xinghai's Flying Boat continued at its original speed.

The Golden Crow Fire Spirit released by Ye Liuyun had now surged into the army; wherever it passed, everything turned to ash, unstoppable.

Even high-level Martial Cultivators who dared to block the Golden Crow Fire Spirit were shot dead by the Clone Puppet with a Godslaying Bow.

"Lightning Spirit, you come out and move around too!"

Ye Liuyun felt the Golden Crow alone was a bit overwhelmed, so he also released the Lightning Spirit!

A five‑colored lightning image also appeared in the Xingkong; in an instant, flashes and thunder cracked, and the nearby soldiers were blown to pieces.

"Go ahead, no holding back!"

Ye Liuyun truly let them loose!

With a "crack" sound, the Lightning Spirit answered Ye Liuyun with lightning, and the entire Xingkong was suddenly shrouded in mysterious lightning; where the Lightning Spirit passed, the five‑colored lightning was most intense.

The areas traversed by the Fire Spirit and Lightning Spirit became a field of flying ash.

"Lightning!"

This time, Wan Xinghai and the others saw it.

They saw the flashing lightning against the backdrop of the Golden Crow.

What they didn't see was that the entire Xingkong had become like a furnace; the 300,000 troops were being shattered and fled in disarray.

Even without approaching, everyone could feel the unbearable heat; those far away were scorched, let alone those near.

Soldiers enveloped by the lightning furnace lost even the courage to flee, trembling in place, awaiting being split into char and ash.

The five‑colored heavenly punishment lightning raged within the Golden Crow flames, no longer needing the Clone Puppet's intervention; no one could withstand their combined assault.

A large number of soldiers fled toward the three Xingqiu belonging to the Shào family. Ye Liuyun and the Clone Puppet gathered all the puppets, leisurely trailing the Golden Crow Fire Spirit and Lightning Spirit, pursuing the retreating army.

The golden‑red flames and lightning also closed in on the Xingqiu. The aura of death shrouded the ground. Some quick‑witted Martial Cultivators began to flee in panic.

The scorching wave quickly draped the planet like a dragon.

Bai Yunmu was also dumbfounded; she hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to be so ruthless, daring to unleash such massive slaughter. Ye Liuyun didn't care; since they came to kill him, why shouldn't he strike back instead of just waiting to be killed?

This was a battlefield; even though there were only two of them, it was still a battlefield—either you die or I perish. He had no reason to be merciful in such a situation.

The Golden Crow Fire Spirit and Lightning Spirit grew more excited the more they killed. Such free rein was rare; they unleashed their power, comparing whose might was greater.

The ultimate essence of flame and lightning is destruction, and these two beings demonstrated it vividly. Wherever they passed became scorched earth; occasional remnants of flying ash could be seen, while most had been burned into void.

The Xingqiu before them ignited the moment the Golden Crow Fire Spirit approached; under the Lightning Strike, the stationed troops suffered over half casualties almost instantly.

The soldiers who hadn't yet evacuated could no longer leave; everyone began to burn. With relentless Lightning Strikes, the planet's surface turned into a furnace, appearing from afar as a massive fireball crackling with lightning.

"Next!"

Ye Liuyun didn't let the Fire Spirit and Lightning Spirit linger, and immediately rushed toward the Shào family's next Xingqiu.

It wasn't until then that the Shào Clan Chief believed Shào Donglái's advice and announced an immediate withdrawal. They took whatever valuables they could, leaving the rest behind.

In such times, survival was paramount; the entire Shào family fell into chaos.

Yet even so, many couldn't escape in time; some received no notice and were already unable to flee.

Not only the Shào family, but also Bai Yunmu and the remaining 100,000 troops began a full‑speed retreat, abandoning camps and supplies; the army stopped marching in formation, all scrambling for survival.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil witnessed this, yet he still ordered the Golden Crow Fire Spirit and Lightning Spirit to scorch all three Shào Xingqiu.

There was no other motive, just to establish his might.

He was showing off to God King Wang Tian, telling him this is the consequence of scheming against him.

Wan Xinghai and the others watched the glowing fireballs from afar, stunned into silence.

After a long while, Wan Xinghai was the first to exclaim, "Elder Ye is truly ferocious!"

He felt that calling him Brother Ye was no longer enough to express his admiration.

"Do you think we truly belong with such a figure?" Xiao Qing murmured, a bit dazed.

"With a boss like this, we'll be invincible!" Jin Biao said, his face full of anticipation.

Shào Donglái and Fù Yúntáng, who had fled earlier, watched the battle from distant Xingqiu, seeing the golden sun streaked with lightning and the illuminated Xingqiu one by one.

The two remained silent, unsure what kind of monster they had encountered.

After a long while, Fù Yúntáng spoke first: "Donglai, I think you should advise your family not to have any more designs on Brother Ye in the future!"

Shào Dōnglái didn't reply, just nodded heavily.

To oppose Ye Liuyun again will easily bring about the extermination of your clan!

The defeated and fleeing Bái Yúnmù returned directly to the Central Dynasty via the Teleportation Array. As for the God King's order, he couldn't fulfill it; whoever can do it should take his place. From now on, if there are any more orders to kill Ye Liuyun, he won't dare accept them either.
