Chapter 3882: Numerical Advantage

"That's fine!" Lei Ming also had to agree; having a fight is better than letting her go back to train.

Moreover, she currently isn't sure she can defeat a cultivator at the First Realm of He Dao. It depends on what kind of law power the opponent wields.

The gap between the He Dao Realm and the Cave Heaven Realm is too great; law power is far beyond what a Martial Cultivator's True Essence can resist.

If the opponent's law power is too strong, even if they are only at the First Realm of He Dao, they can still kill cultivators at the Second or Third Realm of He Dao.

Just like Hou Yunfeng, although he is at the Second Realm of He Dao, his full-power punch can kill a cultivator at the Sixth Realm of He Dao. If the opponent has no way to counter or evade his law power, death is certain.

Ye Liuyun also, for this reason, does not want Lei Ming to take risks. He has already decided to let the Skeleton Puppets act this time.

The experts sent by the Great Qi Dynasty are too many. Besides three Martial Cultivators at the Second Realm of He Dao, there are six at the First Realm of He Dao, and for each of the three stages of the Cave Heaven Realm there are over thirty Martial Cultivators.

Using this strength to deal with them, the opponent is obviously determined to win.

But Ye Liuyun suddenly released three hundred First Realm of He Dao puppets, surrounding them and leaving those people stunned on the spot.

"Kill!"

Ye Liuyun gave the order, and he and those beside him charged forward. The puppets also partly moved—some attacked the six Martial Cultivators of He Dao, some helped the Monster Beasts fight.

Most of the Martial Cultivators trapped by the puppets couldn't break the encirclement; they could only fight to the death.

While the three Second Realm of He Dao experts saw the situation turning bad and immediately tried to break out of the encirclement to flee, the First Realm of He Dao Skeleton Puppets certainly couldn't stop them.

But the Clone Puppet used Spatial Power, appearing before them, and with one slash each, sent them flying back.

Now they had victory in hand, so he didn't use Time Power but relied on sword intent to fight them. Yet one guard holding a spear and wearing armor actually blocked Ye Liuyun's slash.

This guard had mastered spear intent, and his Spatial Power was also not weak; evidently he was the most well-rounded expert among the three.

Thus Ye Liuyun chose this guard and fought him in one place.

The guard's law was actually of the illusion type, applicable not only to his movement but also to his spear; a thrust produced five spear phantoms, making real and fake indistinguishable.

If the clone didn't have Golden Pupils, it really couldn't fight him. The two figures flickered in the void; the guard was fast, but the clone was faster, often using Spatial Power to lock him down, rendering him suddenly immobile.

As soon as he broke free from the Spatial Lock, the clone's blade arrived. After a few rounds, the clone gained the upper hand.

The other two Martial Cultivators: a power-type fighter was completely crushed by Hou Yunfeng with one punch that exploded him.

The one fighting Long Nv with a sword had sharp sword intent, and Long Nv's power-type staff technique each had their own strengths and weaknesses; they fought fiercely.

Hou Yunfeng paid attention to Long Nv's battle, ready to assist at any moment.

His punching speed had increased considerably, largely making up for his shortcomings; against opponents without fast movement skills he could handle them all.

Ye Liuyun then led the Demon Lion and Shadow against early-stage Cave Heaven Martial Cultivators; Bai Hu led the Stone Ape, Vermilion Bird, Crimson Silk Snake, and Little Blue Ice against mid-stage Cave Heaven Martial Cultivators; Lei Ming and the Nine-headed Magic Dragon were responsible for late-stage Cave Heaven Martial Cultivators.

Aside from Ye Liuyun's level of battle, the other two realms' battles needed Skeleton Puppets to help block the opponent's extra manpower.

Ye Liuyun's group had Time Power, making dodging attacks or killing opponents very easy.

After the Demon Lion absorbed the Space Crystal, its Spatial Power surpassed Ye Liuyun's, so the opponent couldn't find his trace. Moreover, his realm had reached the late Fourth Stage of Cave Heaven, making killing early-stage Cave Heaven Martial Cultivators very easy.

The Shadow was never detected by the opponent and silently took them out with the Soul-crushing Bell.

After disposing of the early-stage Cave Heaven Martial Cultivators, they went to reinforce Bai Hu's group, taking over opponents from the Skeleton Soldiers and killing them.

Lei Ming and the Nine-headed Magic Dragon also had a great time. The Skeleton Soldiers surrounded the late-stage Cave Heaven Martial Cultivators one by one, letting them out for practice.

No need for the Magic Vine to act; it just waited for them to finish, then went to pick up corpses to devour, starting to clean the battlefield.

Seeing they were enjoying the fight, Ye Liuyun didn't join in but let them finish off those Martial Cultivators.

Long Nv fought her opponent for half a day; neither could gain the upper hand. Finally Long Nv released the Dragon Soul from the Coiled Dragon Staff, together with her own bloodline and Dragon Might, shocking the opponent into submission and actually capturing him alive.

That Martial Cultivator's bloodline power was weak, and though his Divine Soul Power wasn't weak, it was far no match for the Dragon Soul. After receiving the Dragon Soul allotted to her, Long Nv let Sun Que and others help refine the nine Dragon Souls into the Coiled Dragon Staff.

These nine Dragon Souls differ from the previous ones; they are basically peak existences of the He Dao Realm, so releasing just one Dragon Soul can easily suppress Long Nv's opponent.

The guard fighting the clone was also hacked all over by the clone.

Although he had some combat ability, his law power was completely suppressed by the clone's law power; he wasn't as fast and often got ambushed by the clone.

The clone never dealt a killing blow, just lightly slashing and fleeing; he couldn't catch up. Over time, the guard could barely lift his spear, his arms and shoulders sliced several times.

Each time the clone's two magic blades cut him, they drew out a bit of his Soul and bloodline power, and also carried Demon Qi, affecting wound healing.

When the guard first had abundant True Essence, he could still use True Essence to squeeze out the Demon Qi, but as the battle continued, his True Essence was severely depleted and he could no longer expel the Demon Qi.

Finally, when the guard made a move, his spear dipped slightly; the clone found the opening, the magic blade sliced his hand, causing his spear to drop, then the clone struck him with the blade's back, sending him flying.

Then, before he could steady himself, the clone appeared behind him and struck him with the blade's back, knocking him out and capturing him.

Ye Liuyun placed Slave Seals on these two Second Realm of He Dao captives. They urgently need to replenish combat strength, otherwise it will become increasingly difficult later.

Through Soul Search, Ye Liuyun learned that the guard dressed as a Martial Cultivator was named Qi Yue, a royal clan descendant. The sword-wielding Martial Cultivator was named Qi Heng, an elder of the royal clan.

Ye Liuyun had them follow the clone from then on. After the Monster Beasts finished cleaning the battlefield, he didn't recall the Skeleton Soldiers.

Instead, he released a total of five thousand Skeleton Soldiers, equipped them on Warships, and led them straight toward the Royal City.

On the way they encountered a force of a hundred thousand; the result was that they were slaughtered, petals and blood flying.
