Chapter 3954: Too Many Methods

"Don't say that; without us there, perhaps you wouldn't have so many troubles! Besides, everyone pitched in, each doing their part." The Clone Puppet was indeed very humble, not taking credit.

The group returned to the Flying Boat to continue the journey; Ye Liuyun's side also went back to recover as quickly as possible, and only the Clone Puppet stayed aboard to keep watch.

At this point, Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul Power had recovered, his energy finally accumulated enough, the mass of his Divine Core had risen to a certain height, and his realm finally began to break through.

However, after the breakthrough he still needed considerable time to refine Primordial Power to solidify the realm, so he wasn't in a hurry to go out and fight.

Not long after, the Void Beast warned that over thirty ferocious beasts were rushing out from the void.

The Clone Puppet flashed into the void, used Time Power to freeze time, brandished its twin blades and slew all those ferocious beasts.

Those beasts were also Cultivation-level strong ones, with relatively strong Spatial Power, attempting another ambush. Unexpectedly, the Void Beast detected them early, and encountering the Clone Puppet on guard, they were wiped out outright.

After the Clone Puppet returned to the Flying Boat, it only said it was checking the situation, without mentioning how many beasts it had killed, lest they make a fuss again.

Their Flying Boat then sailed for two more days, and everyone wondered whether those ferocious beasts were about to give up.

After all, having wiped out over two hundred He Dao realm strong ones in one go, the beasts should know these people's strength, and a head‑on clash would no longer be worthwhile.

Yet the Beast King here felt that if he didn't annihilate them, he'd lose his authority. The silence of the past two days was actually him gathering strength.

Afterwards, the Beast King led over a thousand He Dao realm beasts and charged forward.

In the previous battle, the Beast King had roughly calculated their combat power and thought this time he could wipe them out directly.

The Clone Puppet's Golden Pupil spotted them from afar and immediately ordered everyone to come out and prepare for battle.

This time Ye Liuyun also emerged. His realm had been solidified, his Nascent Core was full, and he was ready to test his power on these beasts.

Fu Wushuang, Leng Qingwu, and Xiao Wufeng, seeing that he also joined the fight, felt a bit reassured.

"How are you planning to fight this battle?" Fu Wushuang asked Ye Liuyun anxiously.

Leng Qingwu thought that Ye Liuyun should use those Skeleton Puppets.

"Just like last time!" Ye Liuyun said casually.

"Huh?" Fu Wushuang and Xiao Wufeng both exclaimed simultaneously.

"This time it's in the thousands, not two hundred!" Xiao Wufeng reminded Ye Liuyun.

If it weren't for Ye Liuyun, he would have led his team to flee long ago. Staying behind would be a death sentence; they were no match at all.

"Mm."

Ye Liuyun gave a brief assent, but didn't alter the plan; he began using Transmission Voice to tell his men to ready their talismans.

When Ye Liuyun first said it was just like last time, his people understood that he would use Time Power to eliminate a threatening batch first, and the rest was just for the others to practice.

Using talismans was also to thin the enemy numbers, preventing them from swarming.

Then Ye Liuyun, twin blades in hand, moved to the front of the formation, accompanied by the Clone Puppet and Ye Jin Yuan, all wielding twin blades.

Before the beasts could close in, the three brandished their twin blades, slashing forward together to block the beasts' charge, and then the trio surged upward together.

The second wave that surged forward consisted of Magic Vine, Demon Wolf, and the Demon Race from Lei Ming's Zhenmo Tower, keeping some distance from the three; after that came the Monster Beasts and others.

Demon Lion and the shadow each took positions—one guarding the void, the other invisibly watching Fu Wushuang.

"Are they really okay?" Fu Wushuang asked, nervous to the point of panic.

In this kind of battle, they had no part to play.

Even if Leng Qingwu, Xiao Wufeng, and those Black Armor Guards rushed in, they couldn't kill many beasts and had no impact on the battle.

"Don't worry, they'll definitely win!" Leng Qingwu reassured Fu Wushuang again.

"Seems you really know their strength!" Xiao Wufeng noted that Leng Qingwu was blindly trusting Ye Liuyun without reason.

"Mm, I believe them!" Leng Qingwu replied without further explanation.

They all saw Ye Liuyun and the others charge into the beast herd.

After Ye Jin Yuan opened his domain, he killed any beast he saw. Ye Liuyun and the Clone Puppet, however, focused on slaying the high‑realm beasts.

The Clone Puppet unleashed its full realm, the Eighth Layer of He Dao, and charged straight at the Beast King.

The new Beast King was also at the Seventh Layer, a snow‑carved beast whose Spatial Power was not weak, yet within moments it was slashed until its body ran with blood.

Since Ye Liuyun's realm was insufficient, he relied entirely on time freeze, then cleaved the beasts with a single slash.

So what everyone saw was him stepping away from a beast, its head already severed, followed by one beast head after another falling.

No matter how strong the beast, none seemed able to withstand his single slash.

"He's truly divine; he's only at the Third Stage of Dong Tian, yet he slays He Dao fifth and sixth layer beasts as if he's chopping melons and vegetables!" Xiao Wufeng stared, baffled.

Even if Ye Liuyun's Spatial Power were strong, some beasts should be able to dodge.

Yet Leng Qingwu knew that this move of Ye Liuyun involved more than Spatial Power; there must be another secret technique inside. But since Ye Liuyun kept silent, they couldn't guess.

Fu Wushuang was already staring blankly, his eyes darting everywhere searching for Ye Liuyun's figure, never keeping up with his speed.

Magic Vine also entered the fray directly this time, mainly confronting beasts of the fourth and fifth He Dao layers, which was a heavy burden. If the vines split too much, each individual vine's strength waned.

Therefore it could only handle six or seven beasts of that realm at once; any more and it would be overwhelmed.

Demon Wolf's main opponents were also He Dao fifth layer strong ones, while the sixth layer foes were left to Ye Liuyun and the Clone Puppet.

The Clone Puppet also gave its all; after cleaving the snow‑carved beast, it immediately returned to slay other strong beasts.

The Demon Race and the evil beings suffered severe injuries, almost losing half their strength with each encounter with the beasts.

Yet Lei Ming felt no remorse; only after she rushed over did she use talismans to help the captives kill the beasts.

The other Monster Beasts acted similarly, tossing countless talismans and seizing the chance to eradicate beasts, first reducing their numbers.

At this point Ye Liuyun and the Clone Puppet also began flinging talismans, stabilizing an area before sweeping with a single slash to cleave everything.

"What is that?" Fu Wushuang was still curious about the talismans.

Ordinary talismans are drawn on beast hides, but what Ye Liuyun and his group threw were Spirit Stones.

"Looks like some kind of talisman!" Leng Qingwu and Xiao Wufeng, both well‑versed, guessed that the talismans had been inscribed onto Spirit Stones.

"Their methods are truly countless!" Xiao Wufeng exclaimed again.

Watching Ye Liuyun halve the opposing beasts, they finally felt like making a few idle remarks.
