Chapter 616: Hall Master's Might

Even though it was a clash of two True Essences, Ye Liuyun's True Essence could directly pierce its True Essence and strike it.

It scanned its stored information and seemed to have no record of such a corresponding power.

So he had no choice but to attack Ye Liuyun again. This time, he took the initiative, punching out a stream of pitch‑black Demon Qi toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun merely gave a faint smile, channeling Buddha Demon Power for defense, and at the same time swung Yi Dao forward.

His current strength, combined with blade intent, can actually contend with a Yin‑Yang Triple Martial Cultivator. From the power the Kuailei unleashed, Ye Liuyun saw that the gap between them was not that great.

With blade intent, he can fight a Yin‑Yang Triple Martial Cultivator.

Thus, Ye Liuyun now completely lets go, fighting the Metal Puppet more and more vigorously, wildly battling it, freely honing his combat skills and familiarizing himself with all aspects of his power.

Ye Liuyun and the Metal Puppet fought to a standstill, with booming roars exploding.

Even Su Qingyang hadn't anticipated this.

What he hadn't expected even more was that Lei Ming's strength was likewise formidable.

All were Tian Gang Ninth Rank; Lei Ming struck him as if merely teasing, using him for practice, while he was helpless.

Originally two Tian Gang Eighth Rank Martial Cultivators were assisting him, but after Lei Ming eliminated them one by one, he was no match for Lei Ming, who tossed him around like a ball, leaving him unable to retaliate.

As for the others of the Dark Night Demon Hall, it was even worse. No one could withstand the strength of Long Nv and Bai Hu, and their attacks were ruthless—almost anyone they struck perished instantly.

Now they cannot escape. Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er, while caring for the others and ready to assist, jointly raised a vast ice‑snow domain.

The entire battlefield was encased in ice, forming an ice‑carved cage that trapped everyone inside, clearly intended to annihilate them all here.

Su Miaoyin, Ru Yue, Piao Yun, Hao Chengfeng, Mo Ya, Shi Yuan and others occasionally faced danger, but Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er always resolved it.

They also try to pick slightly higher‑realm opponents to battle, sharpening their combat skills.

On Ye Liuyun's side, his attacks grew smoother; his Buddha Demon Golden Body could not only repel the Metal Puppet's Demon Qi attacks but also absorb that Qi, converting it into his own Buddha Demon Golden Body to strengthen his defense.

Unconcerned about defense, he resumed blade practice. Each slash employed spatial power, arriving instantly, leaving the Metal Puppet unable to defend.

Moreover, every strike hit the same spot, carving a deep groove into the Metal Puppet's chest and exposing its internal components.

Again!

Ye Liuyun swung Yi Dao at the deep groove once more.

Inside the Metal Puppet, a 'Clack!' sounded, clearly indicating some components had been broken.

The Metal Puppet's movements immediately slowed, and its Demon Qi dissipated bit by bit.

The internal components have little defensive capability!

Realizing this, Ye Liuyun slashed again, the blade filled with golden‑red flame.

That slash, after being released, appeared directly inside the Metal Puppet.

With a 'Boom—', the Metal Puppet was ripped apart, and its Golden Crow Holy Fire began scorching its components.

The Metal Puppet collapsed, twitched twice, then lay motionless. Black smoke billowed from within, completely burned out.

Good!

Hall Master is mighty!

The Yin‑Yang Triple Kuailei have all been taken down by our Hall Master! This Northern Region… no, the entire Cangyun Continent—who else can match our Hall Master!

The Lingyun Hall disciples watching the battle erupted in cheers.

Su Qingyang had been smashed into a pig‑head by Lei Ming, losing all his former swagger.

Through narrowed eyes, he saw his Metal Puppet defeated by Ye Liuyun and finally regretted underestimating it.

But now it's too late to regret!

When Lei Ming saw Ye Liuyun finish the fight and the others' battles winding down, she grew bored, slapped Su Qingyang with a single hand, turning him into mush!

Later, Ye Liuyun saw Lei Ming devour Su Qingyang's Soul.

Huh? It seems this girl received a Soul‑type inheritance from the Jiulong Legacy.

Ye Liuyun noted this and directly confirmed it with Lei Ming.

It's not just the Soul, but also the Physical Body. In fact, my Physical Body can also block the Metal Puppet's attacks! The Jiulong Legacy was a bit biased, granting me a mighty Soul and Physical Body inheritance. As for bloodline and True Essence, it said I didn't need them and gave them to Sister Long Nv.

At this moment, Lei Ming had transformed into a pet form, scurrying into Ye Liuyun's arms, whining about the Jiulong Legacy's favoritism.

"I see!" Ye Liuyun finally understood what inheritance they had received.

"I reckon your bloodline is already pure enough, and your realm was higher than Long Nv's at the time, so the inheritance went to her. Especially the bloodline inheritance—she needed it more than you."

Ye Liuyun gave Lei Ming a hug, comforting her, and realized she wasn't truly jealous of Long Nv; she merely wanted an excuse to act out.

Lei Ming is the most generous and least jealous among all women.

Afterwards he led everyone back to the Sacred Martial Academy, letting Grand Elder assign people to clean up the battlefield.

His resources are already ample, so he need not contest the academy over this. He left the resources stored in those people's Storage Rings to the Sacred Martial Academy.

Long Nv transmitted Voice to Ye Liuyun: "I feel I'm on the verge of a breakthrough! My combat intensity isn't enough; I need more stimulus."

"Is that so?" Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and halted his steps.

"Then we won't return to rest; we'll head straight to sweep other Dark Night Demon Hall outposts. Leave all the fighting to you—how does that sound?" Ye Liuyun asked Long Nv.

"Having everyone accompany me? That… that doesn't seem right," Long Nv felt a bit uneasy.

"It's nothing; we're all comrades, you needn't worry. If you truly transform into a dragon upon breakthrough, having more people can also help you as Protector!"

Ye Liuyun immediately stopped asking and told everyone they would continue sweeping other Dark Night Demon Hall branches, then reported to the Master.

"Go! Since you have this ability, you ought to lend more strength to the whole Northern Region!" Grand Elder praised.

Even the Yin‑Yang Triple Kuailei can be fought; Grand Elder now has no reservations.

"Yes! I'll go right away!"

After bidding farewell to Grand Elder, Ye Liuyun led the group straight toward the other Dark Night Demon Hall branches.
