Chapter 3922: Ambush of the Puppets

There are still many Dragon Bones they have collected, which can later be used to forge Skeleton Puppets of higher realms. Ye Liuyun and Sun Que both think that for now there is no need to employ them.

When the need arises later, after Sun Que's refining technique improves a bit more, forging higher‑grade Kuailei will not be too late.

At the start of the battle, the Sealing Demon Tablet and the Magic Vine rushed forward first.

The Faction has no way to deal with the two of them. The Sealing Demon Tablet cannot be broken by anything, and it has no Soul, making it their perfect nemesis; they can only stand their ground or evade.

To counter the Magic Vine, they once sent evil beings capable of burrowing or of earth element. But the vine's tendrils are too many, making it difficult for them to locate the Magic Vine's core.. ghxsw.

Moreover, none of those evil beings' earth‑control abilities surpass the Magic Vine's; they basically cannot get close to it. Even if they approach, the Magic Vine has a Technique that can annihilate enemies at close range.

They also tried large nets, ice sealing, fire burning and other methods, all with little effect, or were deliberately sabotaged by Ye Liuyun and the clone, and eventually they grew too lazy to investigate further.

Now the evil beings completely ignore the two of them; each time a battle starts they can only charge en masse, then disperse as much as possible, trying to sacrifice as few people as they can to the enemy.

This time is the same; their primary targets are still the Skeleton Puppets, to clear the way for the subsequent Evil Worship Army.

Their strong ones also all scattered before charging toward the Skeleton Soldiers.

Ye Liuyun and the clone used Time Power, and Lei Ming, with the Zhenmo Tower, also acted immediately, sweeping the field to capture their Hédào Jìngjiè strongmen.

Ye Jin Yuan was responsible for leading the Kuailei in a charge.

Monster Beast, Hou Yunfeng, Qi Yue, Ye Tiandao, Tang Xinyao and the Metal Puppet followed the Skeleton Puppets, looking for a chance to strike.

Lei Ming only released the captured Hédào Sānchóng evil beings to join the fight, while the Hédào Sìchóng ones were kept in reserve to conserve strength for dealing with the final Faction strongmen.

Just as they were fighting intensely, several Hédào Wǔchóng evil beings suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Two of the red‑armored evil beings each used Spiritual Soul Attack against Ye Liuyun and the clone, apparently treating the clone as a human.

The other three Hédào Wǔchóng evil beings were black‑armored, and their target was clear: Ye Liuyun's Hédào Wǔchóng Skeleton Puppets.

Moreover, these evil beings' Spatial Power was not weak; they clearly came prepared, and did not let Ye Liuyun and the others notice them in advance.

This time the Sealing Demon Tablet was also busy killing the surrounding soldiers and did not notice them.

But once they appeared, the Sealing Demon Tablet immediately pressed toward a black‑armored evil being.

That evil being instantly vanished into the void, luring the Sealing Demon Tablet away and maneuvering with it using Spatial Power.

The Sealing Demon Tablet surged again toward the other black‑armored evil beings; this one rushed back to kill the Kuailei. Moreover, all three stayed airborne, keeping a distance from the Magic Vine's attacks and striking the Kuailei from afar.

The Kuailei's Spatial Power was nowhere near theirs, and they were almost wiped out one by one with a single strike.

At this moment, the red‑blue Foreign Tribe that attacked Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness had already been marked with a Slave Seal by Ye Liuyun, becoming his Kuailei.

And the Soul that attacked the clone had not even entered the Sea of Consciousness when the clone, using Time Power to freeze time, ripped its Soul into the Soul Sealing Pearl, instantly annihilating it.

Then the clone charged at a black‑armored evil being, using stronger Spatial Power to circle and slash the evil being.

Lei Ming also commanded all the captured evil beings to cooperate, using the Zhenmo Tower to intercept another black‑armored evil being.

Another black‑realm evil being was unlucky, having not noticed Ye Jin Yuan; when it attacked the Kuailei, it mistakenly entered his domain and immediately had its energy drained by Ye Jin Yuan.

The evil being's True Essence instantly halved, its Spatial Power could no longer be used, and it was suppressed and entangled by the Sealing Demon Tablet and the Magic Vine together, eventually being sucked dry into a desiccated corpse.

Ye Liuyun, fearing that the Sealing Demon Tablet and the Magic Vine would also kill the other two black‑armored evil beings, first activated Time Power, rushed over to place Slave Seals on them as well, and together with the captured red‑armored evil being, had Lei Ming seal them inside the Zhenmo Tower.

The Faction's arranged ambush this time also failed completely. However, they had already destroyed twelve Hédào Wǔchóng Kuailei.

Moreover, after this battle, on Ye Liuyun's side only thirty‑four Hédào Wǔchóng Kuailei remained, twelve Hédào Sānchóng Kuailei, and one hundred two Hédào Yīchóng Kuailei.

The total number adds up to fewer than two hundred. The Puppet Army he had previously released was also completely destroyed, and the Faction finally achieved its goal.

After the battle, looking at the few Kuailei beside him, Ye Liuyun could only laugh and cry.

Over seven thousand Hédào Yīchóng Kuailei were battered to this degree; the Faction really is formidable.

"Now the Faction should be satisfied, right? I wonder what expression they'll have when they see so many high‑rank Kuailei!"

He estimates that the Faction, having lost five Hédào Wǔchóng strongmen, will also feel the pain.

However, this time the Faction was also determined to invest heavily.

After the fight ended, Ye Liuyun led everyone back to recover, leaving the clone to guard the remaining Kuailei.

As a result, three more Hédào Wǔchóng evil beings appeared, ambushing the Hédào Wǔchóng Kuailei.

One was a black‑armored evil being, another a gold‑armored evil being, and the third a winged evil being, all suddenly emerging from the void.

This time the clone sensed the void's fluctuation in advance, but of the three evil beings, he only intercepted the gold‑armored one.

The other two evil beings went all out, striking repeatedly, instantly slaying eight Hédào Wǔchóng Kuailei.

Seeing this, the clone could only employ Time Power to freeze time. With no other battles now, he was not in a hurry and had time to deal with it slowly.

The Soul Power of these two evil beings was not as strong as his, and he quickly placed Slave Seals on them both.

But the gold‑armored evil being's Soul Power was unusually strong, even stronger than his own, and there was a Defense Artifact within its Sea of Consciousness.

Had he not been in a time‑frozen state, recklessly inserting his Soul into its Sea of Consciousness would have cost him dearly.

Nevertheless, even so, the gold‑armored evil being's Soul remained shielded by the Defense Artifact, and Ye Liuyun's Soul could not directly reach it.

In the end, having no other choice, the clone could only use Black Light to erase its Soul outright, preventing it from launching a Spiritual Soul Attack after Time Power was restored.

Afterward he restored the Time Flow Speed, allowing Lei Ming to pull the two living evil beings into the Zhenmo Tower, while the dead one was given directly to the Magic Vine.

The broken skeleton bones were all collected by Ye Liuyun and handed to Sun Que, who could re‑refine them for reuse.

After that he sat quietly in place, staying alert for sudden attacks from the void.

The Demon Race also had fast information flow and soon learned of the situation.

The eight strongmen the Faction lost were all transferred from the front line, so their front‑line guard strength must have weakened considerably.

Therefore the Demon Race immediately dispatched strongmen against the Faction, leveraging their numerical advantage to also eliminate over two hundred Hédào Jìngjiè strongmen of the Faction, achieving a great victory.

Thus the numerical gap between the Faction's strongmen kept widening.
