Chapter 611: Brute‑Force Crack

"From now on, remember to speak to me properly. If you try to fake it, I'll make it so you don't even get a chance to speak!"

Ye Liuyun's voice wasn't loud, but he used True Essence to amplify it throughout the academy, so that in any corner it could be heard clearly.

"Lord of the Pavilion, mighty and imposing!" Qi Hong couldn't help but shout.

Then many disciples of Lingyun Pavilion joined in, their shouts rising wave after wave.

The academy originally rang the alarm to gather people to deal with Ye Liuyun, but now it seemed more like a welcome!

The Elders who had intended to strike Ye Liuyun now dared not move recklessly.

Besides Bai Hu, who is at the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Gang, Lei Ming's newly revealed Ninth Layer aura further unnerved them.

What terrified them even more were the Dragon Girl, Wu Qingcheng, Yu Er and others behind Ye Liuyun; when they resisted Lei Ming's roar, the aura they emitted also filled them with dread.

"It seems Ye Liuyun dares to return, and he's well prepared!" For a moment, they decided to wait and keep watching.

Some disciples unfamiliar with Ye Liuyun were now stunned by his domineering presence.

"Ye Liuyun truly lives up to the legend of a ruthless man—decisive in killing!"

"Eliminate the law‑enforcing Elder, grievously wound the Dean! Too overbearing! Who could possibly deal with him!"

Everyone was a bit stunned; at this rate, Ye Liuyun could even become the Dean himself!

Dean Feng was already too preoccupied to attend to himself.

Lei Ming's roar shook his True Essence into chaos. He was now desperately trying to reel in the rampaging True Essence inside him, unable to utter a word.

For a moment, the entire academy fell silent.

Ye Liuyun led the group straight toward the Grand Hall.

At this moment, Qu Chen Feng could no longer stay seated. He stood up in the Grand Hall and, from a distance, smiled at Ye Liuyun: "Ye Liuyun, long time no see!"

"You such trash, even worthy of speaking to me?" Ye Liuyun gave him no respect and retorted.

Qu Chen Feng, unfazed, chuckled: "I also represent the Dark Night Demon Hall and wish to talk with you. Since you're here, please enter the Grand Hall!"

He made a distant gesture of invitation, his attitude surprisingly humble!

Ye Liuyun remained unmoved.

His Golden Pupil had long noticed a Formation set up inside the Grand Hall. Its power was likely considerable.

Although confident he could break it, he did not wish to take the risk.

"This is the Sacred Martial Academy; you, a trash of the Dark Night Demon Hall, have no right to invite me!"

Though Ye Liuyun kept moving, he silently signaled the Dragon Girl to manifest her true form and smash the Grand Hall, thereby triggering the hall's offensive Formation.

Upon receiving the signal, the Dragon Girl flew into the air without hesitation and instantly manifested her true body.

Her body, nearly fifty zhang long, was covered in black scale armor, and she immediately summoned her Guardian God Seal, encasing her Physical Body.

The Dragon Girl's Guardian God Seal turned out to be a black dragon. The black dragon is the most warlike of all Dragon Clan types.

"Ye Liuyun, the Dark Night Demon Hall kindly invited you to sit and talk, what are you doing now?"

Qu Chen Feng looked anxiously at the black dragon silhouette in the sky. He feared Ye Liuyun would not enter the Grand Hall.

He even risked his own life, personally tempting Ye Liuyun inside the Grand Hall, just to get him to come in.

He thought that if Ye Liuyun wasn't too forceful, he would first go into the Grand Hall to talk. If he were ruthless enough, he would storm in and kill him. Even if he didn't come in, he would find a way to provoke Ye Liuyun to enter and kill him.

But the black dragon before him seemed different from what he had imagined.

Ye Liuyun didn't seem to fall for it.

If only the black dragon descended, the Formation would be a waste, having eliminated just one of Ye Liuyun's aides.

"Aaa…" a long dragon roar sounded, the black dragon swished its tail and slammed toward the Grand Hall.

The terrifying pressure of the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Gang was released, and Qu Chen Feng couldn't move a muscle!

"Bad! This black dragon didn't fall for it, it didn't dive straight in. By smashing down like this, it will trigger the Formation!"

Qu Chen Feng muttered that it was bad, but now he couldn't escape even if he tried.

Boom—!

The Sacred Martial Academy's Grand Hall was originally very sturdy, but under the attack of a Ninth Layer Heavenly Gang's Guardian God Seal, it could not hold.

A single tail swipe from the Dragon Girl knocked it down, and the Formation set inside instantly activated, enveloping Qu Chen Feng and beginning to assault him.

The Dragon Girl sustained no injury; only her dragon aura's phantom was swept by the Formation, but it would recover after a short time.

"Hmph, Qu Chen Feng, you despicable scoundrel, trying to scheme against me again! Too bad I couldn't slay you myself!"

Ye Liuyun coldly watched Qu Chen Feng being attacked by the Formation, feeling a hint of regret.

"Ah! Stop the Formation quickly!"

Qu Chen Feng strained to hold within the Formation while notifying some Elders of the Dark Night Demon Hall who had set it up, urging them to halt it immediately.

The unluckiest was Dean Feng; his True Essence hadn't solidified, and he was enveloped with Qu Chen Feng in the Formation's attack range, unable to withstand even a single strike, and was blown up outright.

Two Elders of the Dark Night Demon Hall rushed out to try to control the Formation and stop it.

But Ye Liuyun drew the Demon Slaying Sword and swung it from afar, cutting each of the two, sending them flying.

Moreover, the residual blade intent struck the Formation, intensifying its attacks.

Qu Chen Feng never imagined that Ye Liuyun had no interest in killing him personally. The ambush he painstakingly set was violently broken by Ye Liuyun with ease.

In the end, it was he who experienced the Formation's power.

At this moment, the Formation's power kept intensifying; his realm could not possibly sustain it.

Boom, Boom!

The Formation's attacks bombarded him repeatedly, shattering him into fragments in a few blows.

Qu Chen Feng died from overestimating his standing in Ye Liuyun's eyes. He thought Ye Liuyun would hate him and, upon seeing him, would recklessly rush to kill him.

"Spin a cocoon to bind oneself!" Ye Liuyun snorted coldly. "Too bad I didn't slay this scoundrel myself!"

Ye Liuyun felt a slight regret but didn't dwell on it. After all, Qu Chen Feng was just a minor figure. As long as he could watch him die before him, he would be at ease thereafter.

With one less petty threat lurking in the shadows, Ye Liuyun's mood instantly brightened considerably.

The news that Qu Chen Feng's scheme against Ye Liuyun had failed and that he had instead reaped what he sowed was transmitted back to the Northern Territory branch of the Dark Night Demon Hall.

The black-clad woman nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, that sort of fool can only go to his death!
