Chapter 3953: All Slain

The Clone Puppet saw Fu Wushuang become suspicious and also worried that hiding too much would breed resentment among them, so it only revealed a little, but could not tell everything.

He explained: "He went to kill the Beast King, provoking the ferocious beasts of this star system to vie for the Beast King's throne, so he couldn't attend to us for the time being."

"Ah? Killed the Beast King? When did he act?"

Fu Wushuang wasn't disbelieving, just curious when Ye Liuyun left; they hadn't sensed his entering or exiting the Flying Boat.

Leng Qingwu showed an expression of "just as expected." She fully believed Ye Liuyun had acted.

Xiao Wufeng, like Fu Wushuang, wore a surprised face: "Did he go by himself? What realm is the Beast King?"

"He acted before the Flying Boat stopped; I only returned after I left. The Beast King is at the Seventh Stage of He Dao, and he killed it with Divine Soul Power!"

The Clone Puppet gave a brief explanation.

"No wonder I felt the fluctuation of Spatial Power then; it was because he returned!" Fu Wushuang realized the connection.

"Even the Seventh Stage of He Dao can be killed?" Xiao Wufeng was shocked: "Are you sure, Captain Ye, that it's the Cave Heaven Realm?"

"He is indeed in the Cave Heaven Realm, but the situation is a bit special!" the Clone Puppet could only explain so.

"Is he badly injured?" Fu Wushuang genuinely cared about Ye Liuyun.

"No problem, just a bit over‑exerted; he'll recover after a short rest!" the Clone Puppet reassured them that Ye Liuyun was fine.

"Alright, let him rest properly! Then our subsequent voyage should be safe," Fu Wushuang confirmed with the Clone Puppet.

The Clone Puppet shook its head: "Can't say; the strong ferocious beasts are vying for the Beast King's throne, and we can't be sure if any will strike during this period.

At least the top few are currently too occupied to attend to us, and they aren't launching organized attacks now. We just stay vigilant."

The Clone Puppet didn't return to the Cave Heaven World, but stayed outside on guard, using Golden Pupil to monitor the beasts' movements.

Their Flying Boat hadn't been out a day when his Golden Pupil spotted another pack of He Dao realm beasts charging in.

"Damn, a new Beast King has been chosen and is still targeting us. Let's respond carefully and prepare for battle!"

The Clone Puppet immediately warned everyone, leading them out of the Flying Boat to ready for combat.

However, this time the beasts numbered over two hundred, ranging from the First to Fifth Stage of He Dao, and the scale made the Mercenaries tremble in fear.

They couldn't possibly handle it. Even Ye Liuyun's command is strong, but the power gap is too great to block them.

"You all leave; you don't need to die with me here," Fu Wushuang calmly stepped forward, urging the Mercenaries to flee.

Xiao Wufeng was somewhat swayed, but Leng Qingwu and his subordinates didn't move at all. They knew how powerful Ye Liuyun's group was.

The Clone Puppet didn't move, but released Demon Wolf, Magic Vine, Monster Beast, Ye Jin Yuan, Hou Yunfeng and Qi Yue…

"Useless, too few to stop them!" Fu Wushuang tried to urge the Clone Puppet to leave immediately.

"Just watch," the Clone Puppet said calmly.

Then he began to arrange the battle; everything proceeded methodically.

"Lei Ming, release all the monsters from Zhenmo Tower! Nine‑Head Demon Dragon, prepare to use the Apocalyptic Black Lotus! Demon Wolf, control the strongest beast and send it to kill the Beast King!"

Hou Yunfeng, Qi Yue, first intercept their charge; Zhu Que first uses Soul Fire to slay a few. Long Nv prepares to use Dragon Soul and reveal her true form.

Ye Jin Yuan's domain opens; guard against attacks from the void. Demon Lion coordinates void defense. Xiao Lan Bing uses an ice wall to protect everyone; Xuan Wu stays to defend, and Shadow prepares to use Black Pupil to eliminate a few strong ones.

His subordinates all replied in turn, ready to act.

"Move!"

At his command, Hou Yunfeng and Qi Yue punched forward at the beasts, and Qi Yue swept with a spear, forcing the beasts to halt their charge and resist.

Then Zhu Que's Soul Fire burned forward; the few beasts at the front immediately wailed in pain, rolling wildly in the starry sky.

Other Monster Beasts also acted. Lei Ming released Zhenmo Tower, unleashing sixteen evil entities and demons of the Fourth and Fifth Stage of He Dao, charging at the opposing beasts.

Long Nv let out a long howl, revealing a dragon body, surrounded by nine dragon souls, instantly subduing those beasts.

Others seized the chance to strike. The Clone Puppet used spatial teleportation to appear amid the beasts, released the aura of the Sixth Stage of He Dao, and wielded twin blades to slash, one blade per beast.

It was only a little over two hundred mid‑stage He Dao beasts, not even requiring him to use Time Power. In fact, given enough time, the Clone Puppet could kill all those beasts himself.

Ye Jin Yuan also charged forward wielding twin blades. Though his realm had just broken through to the Fourth Stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, his physical body and blade intent could cut down any opposing beast, and his energy‑absorbing domain made him stronger as the fight progressed.

Long Nv was responsible for intimidating the whole field, while Lei Ming duelled a Fifth Stage He Dao beast alone; although her realm was lower, her thunder source had been enhanced, allowing her to easily handle He Dao strongholds, with the rest relying on combat skill.

The Nine‑Head Demon Dragon employed the Apocalyptic Black Lotus, firing dozens of black beams that annihilated a swath of beasts before they could approach.

Shadow also phased through the beasts, intermittently shooting black beams to kill a beast, then immediately shifting position.

Demon Wolf quickly used Green Pupil to control the strongest beast, sending it raging back to slay the newly formed Beast King. Even if it fails, it will shake the Beast King's authority.

When Ye Liuyun and his group had mostly eliminated the He Dao beings above the Fourth Stage, Bai Hu, Shi Yuan, Chi Lian and other monster beasts, along with Hou Yunfeng and Qi Yue, charged forward to find suitable opponents.

Chi Lian, when facing early‑stage He Dao opponents, can drain the opponent's Bloodline Power with a single glance. Magic Vine is responsible for surrounding and rescuing allies.

Long Nv and the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon also began dueling opponents, while the Clone Puppet paused, occasionally stepping in to relieve its allies.

Soon, over two hundred beasts were slain by them, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.

"Over two hundred He Dao strongholds just wiped out!" Xiao Wufeng increasingly found Ye Liuyun's group terrifying.

Leng Qingwu hadn't expected them to eliminate those beasts without the Clone Puppet's intervention.

After they returned, Fu Wushuang kept thanking them incessantly, unable to say anything else. If it were about a reward, she doubted she could afford it.

"If we hadn't had your protection this time, I would have likely died halfway!" she finally realized how perilous navigating the starry sky was.
