Chapter 671: The More, the Better

The two bandits opposite us, while fighting, were shaken by the resonating dragon roar, their heads reeling.

Then, their Bloodline Power and aura were each suppressed by at least half. Their defensive strength dropped sharply, and the True Essence shield instantly became riddled with gaps.

Lei Ming and Long Nv did not expect that a casual roar from the two of them could produce such an effect.

The massive dragon‑roar resonance startled both of them.

But they were unaffected; instead they felt their combat power had increased.

Seizing the moment, the two broke through the defenses and launched a fierce assault.

Long Nv thrust a claw, wielding a coiled dragon staff at the bandits, and Lei Ming also lunged with a hard claw, the talons brimming with surging Blood Thunder.

"Not good! Move!"

Tu Yun, seeing the twins at a disadvantage, immediately ordered everyone to act.

But they were a step too slow; the twin bandits were instantly shattered, their Physical Bodies blown apart by Lei Ming and Long Nv.

Their Souls were instantly devoured by Lei Ming. The Storage Ring was directly absorbed by Long Nv, with not a scrap wasted.

Facing the swarming bandits, Ye Liuyun threw out a Mourning Bell to block attacks coming from the enemy warship, preventing anyone from being ambushed.

Lei Ming, Wu Qingcheng, and Su Miaoyin also produced their divine artifacts to ensure everyone's safety.

On the warship, Li Sanniang specifically targeted the Yin-Yang Realm bandits and launched attacks.

A chaotic battle was about to erupt.

Ye Liuyun himself intercepted Tu Yun, who had intended to charge at Lei Ming.

"Your opponent is me!"

"Fine, I'll slaughter you first, then go after those two Monster Beasts!"

Tu Yun realized Ye Liuyun was the leader of the group, so he thought that eliminating Ye Liuyun first would make dealing with the others easier.

But when he finally engaged, he was greatly surprised.

Ye Liuyun's realm was three layers lower than his, yet his strength was not inferior.

Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power could still suppress him. He possessed abundant Bloodline Power but could not exert it, which greatly affected his combat.

Often, mid‑fight, his power would suddenly drop, plunging him into danger repeatedly.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun's judgments of his attacks were extremely precise, often allowing him to evade beforehand.

"This kid is truly devious!"

Fighting Ye Liuyun, Tu Yun felt constantly outmatched.

He wanted to strike but couldn't reach; he wanted to defend but feared a sudden power drop and a counterattack from Ye Liuyun. When sparring True Essence, his mass was no greater than Ye Liuyun's.

"Then let's try a Spiritual Soul Attack!"

Tu Yun racked his brain but found no better method!

Now the temptation for them wasn't just the Monster Beasts, but also the divine artifacts held by Ye Liuyun and his companions.

Thus for these desperados, they either die here in battle or make a fortune.

Even if a sliver of hope remains, they cannot retreat.

Tempted by the priceless treasure, Tu Yun's strongest primary Spiritual Soul suddenly surged straight into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had long detected his intentions.

At that moment he lifted the corner of his mouth, smiled faintly and said, "Fool, the battle is over!"

Speaking so, his Golden‑armored Spiritual Soul also rushed toward Tu Yun's Sea of Consciousness.

After Tu Yun's strongest primary Spiritual Soul entered Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, it was immediately seized by the Ten Thousand Gods Command and began to be absorbed.

The remaining defensive Spiritual Soul of Tu Yun, barely meeting the Heavenly Gang Realm standard, was smashed outright by a single punch of Ye Liuyun's Golden‑armored Spiritual Soul.

Immediately, Nether Ghost Fire burned Tu Yun's entire Sea of Consciousness to ash.

After Ye Liuyun eliminated Tu Yun, he instantly employed Spatial Power to enter the Maze‑cloaked bandit fleet's warship and wiped out all remaining bandits inside.

He then seized their warship, retrieved the Mourning Bell, and stood aside to watch the spectacle.

At this moment on the battlefield, there were no opponents left requiring his intervention.

Lei Ming and Long Nv, capable of battling at the Yin Yang Five Layers level, already held overwhelming superiority.

Now the ones honing their skills are mainly Wu Qingcheng, Yu Er, Bai Hu, and others.

After this battle, Wu Qingcheng should be able to break through to the Yin-Yang Second Layer upon returning. Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil has already noticed that Wu Qingcheng's True Essence has reached the peak of the Yin Yang First Layer and is about to become uncontrollable.

Bai Hu and Yu Er are also challenging across realms, refining the levels they have just broken through.

Su Miaoyin fares a bit better, managing to find a few opponents; there are few challengers for Ru Yue and Shi Yuan. The bandit group also values personnel efficiency, constantly eliminating those of lower realms.

"Once we leave the Fog Sea, everyone should soak in Food Star Beast blood to boost Bloodline Power; strength will increase."

Ye Liuyun thought to himself, simultaneously assessing his own Bloodline Power improvement.

His Bloodline Power was already strong, and after soaking in the Food Star Beast's blood for such a long time, it further increased.

Now even against Martial Cultivators of the Yin Yang Liu Chong level, he can easily suppress the opponent's Bloodline.

He is increasingly recognizing the importance of Bloodline Power—not only can it suppress foes in battle, but it also greatly aids realm advancement.

Su Miaoyin is also a good example; without enhancing Bloodline Power, her progress would likely slow.

As the battle neared its end, Lei Ming, Bai Hu, and others were already clearing the battlefield, gathering Storage Rings.

These resources could not be wasted; every bit saved mattered.

After the battle fully ended, Ye Liuyun led everyone back to the warship, which set sail again.

Ye Liuyun handed the captured warship directly to Du Yan for handling.

Du Yan did not store the warship, using it as his own return transport.

Instead, he tossed the warship to Bojiao, instructing him to strip all usable parts for spare replacements.

He even had Bojiao remove some of the hard metal from the hull.

"Such things, the more the better. Our warships will continuously wear out during navigation, definitely need replacement. Basically, by the time we reach Zhongyang Dalu, the whole fleet will need to be replaced three or four times." Du Yan told Ye Liuyun.

"Such a huge consumption!" Ye Liuyun also didn't expect it; actually there is such huge consumption. He, a novice in long-distance voyages, really had considered too little before.

If it weren't for meeting Du Yan, he probably wouldn't have made it halfway and would have had to turn back!

"Well then, from now on, when we encounter such big ships, if we can fight we'll fight a battle, then seize the ship!" Ye Liuyun sighed.

"Big ship?" Du Yan sneered: "Wait until you've seen a real big ship, then you'll know! This Black Shark Warship is merely the smallest vessel capable of long-distance voyage. A true big ship can accommodate tens of thousands of Yin-Yang and Heavenly Gang Realm Martial Cultivators!"
