Chapter 606

After Ye Liuyun arrived at the Northern Region Central Region area, he directly sought out the Yin Gui Sect.

The Yin Gui Sect was a loyal vassal of the Dark Night Demon Hall, and he had a grudge with Grand Elder Zeng Fan, so it was a sect he had to exterminate.

When Ye Liuyun and his group arrived at the Yin Gui Sect, the sect had already made defensive preparations.

The sect's grand formation had been opened.

All members were ready for battle, and they had even invited many helpers.

Before Ye Liuyun and his companions could act, a black-robed old man leapt out directly.

"Ye Liuyun, come receive this old man's sword!"

He shouted these words, his pair of whitened blind eyes gazing toward Ye Liuyun's direction.

"Tian Can?" Ye Liuyun certainly remembered him. At the Eastern Sea auction, he had competed with Ye Liuyun for items, but ended up losing.

"I didn't expect this old geezer to still hold a grudge!" Ye Liuyun secretly laughed.

As soon as Tian Can appeared, Ye Liuyun saw his strength: perfect sword intent and the Heavenly Gang Sixth Layer realm. In the Northern Region, he was already considered a top expert.

But in Ye Liuyun's eyes, he was still not enough.

"You're not my opponent! Go enjoy the rest of your life!" Considering he was also a sword cultivator, Ye Liuyun did not want to fight him.

Being able to cultivate to perfect sword intent was already rare. Ye Liuyun felt it would be a pity to kill him.

"I heard you're also a sword cultivator?" Tian Can not only did not retreat, but released his sword intent, holding his broken sword in hand.

"A sword cultivator, even if he knows he cannot win, must advance fearlessly. The timid and shrinking are not worthy of cultivating the sword!"

Tian Can's voice was firm; although his eyes were whitened, they flashed with a gleam of light.

"When facing the Dark Night Demon Hall, why didn't you advance fearlessly? You willingly ran to the Yin Gui Sect to be a guard dog for demon cultivators, yet you still have the nerve to discuss sword cultivation with me?"

If he stayed silent it would be fine, but once he spoke, Ye Liuyun became angry. When the Dark Night Demon Hall had attacked their doorstep, none of these people dared to resist; they just knew how to spout grand principles to deceive people!

Tian Can was scolded by Ye Liuyun's few words until his face flushed red. In the end he could only squeeze out a few formal remarks.

"What does a little brat like you know? That's just going with the tide!"

"Going with the tide? No wonder you're a blind fool! Very well, since you seek death, I will grant it—let you, before you die, witness a stronger sword intent!"

Ye Liuyun's slight fondness for Tian Can completely vanished.

He immediately drew the Demon Slaying Sword, his sword intent fully erupted, and slashed a single strike at Tian Can.

At the very moment Ye Liuyun erupted his sword intent, Tian Can realized he was no match.

Ye Liuyun's sword intent was too strong, too overbearing. As soon as he drew his sword, he had already compressed Tian Can's sword intent to the extreme.

Tian Can felt his soul trembling, his arms heavy, unable even to lift his sword.

And when Ye Liuyun's slash came down, Tian Can suddenly realized!

"This is true sword intent! This overbearing realm! I have finally found the direction for cultivating sword intent!"

Suddenly, a sword intent seed appeared in his sea of consciousness, gradually condensing into form.

However, his enlightenment came too late!

Ye Liuyun's strike had already fallen. Tian Can had no time to react before being cleaved, his soul and body scattering, flesh flying.

By the time the people opposite reacted, Ye Liuyun had already sheathed his blade.

He muttered, "Your blade intent is too weak!"

Ye Liuyun raised his hand, seized Tiancan's broken sword and the Storage Ring, and placed them into his own Storage Ring.

Tiancan's broken sword was itself a kind of "crippled" blade, yet its grade was not low.

Ye Liuyun felt the sword was likely part of a divine artifact. Either way, he decided to put it away for now.

The members of the Yin Ghost Sect opposite, having seen Ye Liuyun effortlessly end Tiancan with a single slash, no one dared to engage actively; they all cowered within the Protection Formation, hoping to wear down Ye Liuyun and his companions with the formation.

Ye Liuyun stared at the Formation for a while, his Golden Pupil examining its flaws and assessing the cost of attacking it.

Then he smiled faintly, "Protection Formation? Nothing more than that!"

He originally thought that if he couldn't break through, he would use the Skeleton Puppet.

But after inspecting, he discovered several cracks in the Formation, and the biggest loophole he could easily exploit.

He then turned, packed everyone behind him into his Storage Ring, and vanished into the void.

When he reappeared, he was already inside the Yin Ghost Sect's Protection Formation. He immediately released the people and charged straight at the Yin Ghost Sect members.

The Yin Ghost Sect's Formation was as if nonexistent to him!

It turned out that since his realm advanced, his use of spatial power had also grown stronger.

He can now slip into the fifth layer of void. This Protection Formation only enveloped the first four layers of void; its designers never considered anyone could pass through from the fifth layer.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil precisely seized this point, allowing him to easily break the Formation and cut straight through.

This sudden scene caught the Yin Ghost Sect off guard.

"Ye Liuyun! I, the old man, will fight you!"

Grand Elder Zeng Fan, who bore a murderous grudge against Ye Liuyun, was the first to charge at him.

"Fight me? You think you can?" Ye Liuyun didn't wait for him to get close and slashed again.

After many days of battle, Ye Liuyun gained a deeper understanding of Yin-Yang Realm power, wielding it more effortlessly.

Now, when facing opponents of the Heavenly Gang Realm, he can crush them easily without even invoking the Primordial War God.

With that slash, he used only blade intent and Heaven and Earth Power, not even his True Essence.

Zeng Fan, however, had no resistance left and was sliced apart, flesh and blood scattering.

Then, after a few more slashes against several strong foes, Ye Liuyun ceased to strike.

Now that both sides' strengths were roughly equal, he left the rest to the others to spar.

Lei Ming and Long Nv are the type of combatants who can take on two Heavenly Gang Ninth Rank opponents by themselves; otherwise it wouldn't be enjoyable.

It must be said that the strength of these Northern Domain masters is indeed far weaker than that of masters from other realms.

Even Wu Qingcheng could easily instant-kill an opponent of the Ninefold Heavenly Gang. Even Yu Er could single-handedly face a Martial Cultivator of the Ninefold Heavenly Gang.

The others were the same. These people were basically able to fight above their level. In the Northern Region, their strength advantage was fully unleashed. Against opponents of the same level, they basically instant-killed.

The defensive forces prepared in advance by the Yin Ghost Sect were, before them, like paper paste, utterly unable to resist; in a moment, the strong ones were all taken out.

Even the Yin Ghost Sect's cultivation techniques were somewhat strange; some used zombies, some used Yin Souls in battle, but the result was the same. Before absolute strength, there was no difference in what was used.
