Chapter 3897: Forceful Slaying

"That's possible too. But even the nearest Xing Xi would take over a month to get here. I estimate that the strong ones on the nearby Place (maybe term) aren't much stronger than here." Yan Tang told Ye Liuyun.

"Don't they have treasures like a Teleportation Array or formations?" Ye Liuyun asked Yan Tang again, fearing that this Faction (already) might suddenly teleport a squad of elite troops.

Yan Tang this time answered affirmatively to Ye Liuyun: "We haven't heard of any of the captives we captured."

Moreover, their Formation, refining equipment, alchemy and other levels are limited; they can't set up a cross‑Xing Xi Teleportation Array, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to stalemate them for so long.

"That's good!" Ye Liuyun heard that and completely relaxed.

He sent Hou Yunfeng and four other Hédào Èrchóng Martial Cultivators out, ordering them to collect the Primordial Power of this outer Xingqiu without any hesitation.

These five, working together, could shatter a Xingqiu, extract its Primordial Power, and wouldn't need to labor as Ye Liuyun does.

Ye Liuyun also gave Hou Yunfeng a Hédào Wǔchóng Kuailei for their survival, lest they encounter strong ones.

In this way, they can act simultaneously and seize the Xingqiu's Primordial Power at the fastest possible speed.

Even if strong ones they cannot handle come to reinforce, they can withdraw at any time.

After Ye Liuyun's group finished mining one Mineral Vein, they immediately rushed to the next without lingering. Once this Xingqiu is exhausted, they move on to the next.

Finally, they faced another great battle.

The leader of the Faction (already) in this Xing Xi brought twenty thousand troops and five additional Hédào Jìngjiè strong ones. Moreover, the twenty thousand troops already looked far stronger than the previous army, with much better discipline.

This is already their strongest force. If these still can't hold, the entire Xing Xi certainly won't hold either.

The Faction (already) leader, knowing the dispatched forces couldn't stop them, could only unleash their utmost power for a do‑or‑die battle.

This formation made Yan Tang a bit worried. Ye Liuyun had already sent out five Hédào Èrchóng strong ones, whose strength was considerably weaker than before.

Although the Clone Puppet was still present, this opponent consisted of twenty thousand elite troops, whose combat power was far higher than the ordinary garrison before.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun's mission for them was still to ambush the enemy army's Leader; everything else didn't require their attention.

"Are you sure you can hold out? We don't have to fight them head‑on!" Yan Tang confirmed with Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm, I'm confident." Ye Liuyun said confidently.

As long as we can eliminate those Hédào Jìngjiè strong ones, these soldiers are nothing to fear.

Golden Crow Holy Fire can give a huge advantage against the army. At worst, let the Clone Puppet release the Thunder Spirit as well, boosting attack power.

Yan Tang actually thought Ye Liuyun wasn't reckless; he must have absolute confidence to arrange this, so he agreed and led the Demon Race around.

Ye Liuyun led his men to quietly await the enemy army's arrival, while assigning tasks to everyone.

The ground Faction (already) saw Ye Liuyun and his few companions plus the Monster Beast, and in front of their massive army, they all looked pitifully tiny.

Thus the army didn't move; instead those few strong ones stepped forward to the formation.

"Who are you, daring to run wild on our Faction (already) territory?" the winged leader wanted to clarify Ye Liuyun's background, confirming his relation with the Demon Race.

It had already guessed that those Demon Race were hidden in the shadows, planning to ambush them. However, as long as these strong ones didn't lose, the Demon Race would have walked into a trap, unable to escape once captured.

Fearing that Ye Liuyun's group might use tricks to flee, it didn't wait for a reply and preemptively locked the space around Ye Liuyun and his companions, then compressed the space to force their surrender.

However, its Spatial Power seemed ineffective; the space lock was opened instantly, and the Clone Puppet released the Golden Crow Fire Spirit.

While the opposing leader was startled, Ye Liuyun unleashed a Sealing Demon Tablet, covering the heads of several of them.

The Faction (already) leader also sensed the Sealing Demon Tablet's suppressing effect, immediately stacking void above its head, attempting to shift the tablet into the void.

Yet the Sealing Demon Tablet rapidly expanded, becoming so huge that the newly opened void aperture couldn't contain it; instead, the tablet forcefully pushed, bursting the void, then continued smashing toward them.

At the same time, the Clone Puppet directly employed Time Power to freeze time, then used Spatial Power to charge to the front of those Hédào Jìngjiè Faction (already), sweeping a single blade across thousands of troops, cutting those few in half.

Then it retreated back to its original spot, restoring the Time Flow Speed.

As soon as time recovered, the Sealing Demon Tablet slammed down.

Those few Faction (already) strong ones, some instinctively raised a hand to block, but they were instantly driven into the ground by the Sealing Demon Tablet, smashed into mush.

"Hm?"

Yan Tang, leading the Demon Race on the road, hadn't noticed what exactly happened; those Faction (already) strong ones were crushed to death by the Sealing Demon Tablet.

"Did that tablet become stronger again?"

He kept guessing wildly in his mind.

They had already felt the Sealing Demon Tablet strengthen before, and didn't expect it to become stronger again so quickly.

At this moment, the Magic Vine struck again, swallowing the bodies of the Faction (already) from underground, making it impossible for anyone to determine their cause of death.

Next, the Clone Puppet released the Golden Crow Fire Spirit and Thunder Spirit together to attack their army.

The Magic Vine and Sealing Demon Tablet raced ahead across the front line to seize resources within the army. Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, led the Monster Beasts forward along the front line.

The Faction (already) army Leader hadn't expected his own top fighters to be wiped out instantly. Yet now he dared not order a retreat, fearing pursuit from the enemy.

It could only dispatch squads of its strongest soldiers to attack the Golden Crow Fire Spirit and the five‑colored Thunder Spirits, but they were all intercepted by the Clone Puppet.

The Clone Puppet employed spatial teleportation and blade intent, becoming something those soldiers could no longer resist.

At this point, the Demon Race also charged forward. Unfortunately, the Faction (already) leader had already prepared, assigning several strong ones to intercept the Demon Race.

Yan Tang threw his war halberd again. However, due to the distance, the Leader blocked it with a treasure, then dodged away.

While the Leader continued directing troops to encircle those Demon Race members, the Clone Puppet suddenly appeared beside him, delivering an extra slash.

The Leader reacted swiftly, not only wearing battle armor for defense but also unleashing a shield‑shaped treasure. Although the Clone Puppet still sliced that shield in two, the remaining force of that slash was no longer enough to kill him.

Its nearby guards instantly rushed forward, attempting to trap the Clone Puppet.

The Clone Puppet, however, used spatial teleportation to instantly return to its original spot, while the Sealing Demon Tablet took over its task, slamming down from the Leader's head.

The Leader tried to dodge again, but felt a strong danger lock onto him. It was Ye Liuyun, holding a Godslaying Bow, aiming at him.
