Chapter 695: Eradicating Ghost Cultivators

Those yin souls actively attacked Ye Liuyun, and were not under his control, because they naturally sensed the Nether Curse.

In the Nether Hell, the Underworld God is supreme.

Once they sensed the Nether Curse, they no longer cared whether the demon cultivator wanted them to attack Ye Liuyun; after all, they had to deal with the cursed target first.

These yin souls are formed from ghost qi, not from corpses, so they are extremely hard to deal with.

Even if Ye Liuyun cleaves them with a single slash, they merely disperse into a mass of Black Fog, which then coalesces again later.

And that ghost cultivator continues to summon yin souls incessantly, the more they summon, the more appear.

"Indeed, the yin souls just won't disperse!"

After fighting for a while, Ye Liuyun realized that if this continued, he would be completely drained.

Immediately, he released the Nether Ghost Fire from his Sea of Consciousness to deal with those yin souls.

The Nether Ghost Fire is the best weapon against those yin souls.

As soon as the Nether Ghost Fire erupted, it instantly burned the two nearest yin souls into a cloud of Black Fog, which then itself was completely incinerated.

Moreover, this Nether Ghost Fire spreads; once it touches even a bit, it keeps expanding, impossible to extinguish, burning the yin souls until they howl in terror.

The cries of the yin souls terrified the surrounding audience to the bone.

Seeing the Nether Ghost Fire work, Ye Liuyun immediately slashed, imbued with the fire, and, taking advantage of the chaos, struck at that Martial Cultivator.

The ghost cultivator's True Essence had already transformed into ghost qi. Instinctively he used ghost qi to shield his body, but Ye Liuyun's slash, no longer the usual golden‑red, turned into a blue‑white hue.

It was instantly propelled by his spatial power to appear before the ghost cultivator.

"Boom—" sounded.

This slash not only wounded the ghost cultivator, but also burned his True Essence directly, incinerating his ghost qi True Essence, and it was something he could not extinguish.

Quickly, his True Essence weakened, and the channel linking to the Nether Hell was severed.

Ye Liuyun began to sweep the arena. With the Nether Ghost Fire, it can be said to be the absolute nemesis of yin souls.

He effortlessly cleared all the yin souls in one sweep.

Once those ghost cultivators vanished, the flicker of the Nether Curse stopped immediately, and the intense sense of danger vanished as well.

"It seems the closer those yin souls get to me, the more pronounced my feeling becomes."

Ye Liuyun understood that this was a psychological tactic employed by the Underworld God, making the pursued feel uneasy and fearful in advance.

The opposing ghost cultivator now had his True Essence completely burned by the Nether Ghost Fire. Even his Soul was tainted by the fire.

Soon, he was reduced to a puff of ash within the blue‑white flame, his Soul and Physical Body both extinguished.

Everyone in the arena, watching Ye Liuyun's blue‑white flame, felt terrified.

The seemingly cool blue‑white flame possessed such tremendous destructive power, capable of burning True Essence, Soul, and Physical Body.

"What kind of flame is this?" many people were unfamiliar with the fire.

"This kid actually still has a Trump Card?"

Even Yan Yong, at this moment, became cautious toward Ye Liuyun.

He hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to be this strong.

"Yan Gang really is a fool; facing such a strong opponent, that's just courting death!"

Although he sought revenge for his brother, he still blamed his brother for being foolish and provoking someone so powerful.

Quickly, someone caught on and led the cheers for Ye Liuyun. The audience also responded, and applause once again filled the entire arena.

Even half of Yi Cheng could hear the cheers emanating from here.

Ye Liuyun did not continue fighting, but went straight down to rest.

Although he used Nether Ghost Fire in this battle, the consumption of True Essence was not great, and it provided a chance to replenish the True Essence he had lacked last time.

In the private room, Tuoba Qi muttered, "Nether Ghost Fire, Golden Crow Holy Fire. One yin, one yang, the two strongest flames in the world! This kid's luck is extraordinary!"

If it weren't for Ye Liuyun's Guardian God Seal, he would covet such rare flames; even obtaining just one could elevate his strength a notch.

But now, he dares not even consider making a move on Ye Liuyun.

He harbors a sincere reverence for the true form of that Guardian God Seal.

Even though Ye Liuyun has little connection with that person, he worries about karmic retribution.

Ye Liuyun trained for a full hour before, prompted by the Steward's reminder, stepping onto the stage again.

This time, among the audience's cheers, another name appeared: "Undefeated Legend," Yu Fei.

Yu Fei is also one of the takers of a forty‑win streak. He didn't reach fifty wins because his True Essence wasn't enough to endure to the end.

However, in every single match, he has never lost.

And he himself cannot achieve fifty wins, nor does he allow others to.

Whenever someone reaches the forty‑seventh win, he steps in to block. Because his closest brush with fifty wins was at that forty‑seventh match, where he failed due to insufficient True Essence.

After Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil sized him up, he silently worried that he might fall into a hard fight.

Although Yu Fei is at the Yin Yang Five Layers realm, he can almost contend with Yin Yang Eightfold Martial Cultivators. His spatial power, Divine Soul Power, etc., while inferior to Ye Liuyun's, are not vastly so.

"It seems that to defeat him, I must find another way; otherwise I can't continue with the upcoming challenges!"

Ye Liuyun stared at Yu Fei for a while and finally devised a cunning shortcut that wouldn't reveal his strength prematurely.

After Yu Fei took the stage, he cautiously told Ye Liuyun, "You're impressive! But aiming for fifty consecutive wins isn't that easy! I've been striving from the Tian Gang Five Layers up to now, crossing an entire great realm, spending over ten years, yet still haven't reached fifty wins."

Ye Liuyun nodded and said lightly, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't either!"

Yu Fei let out a hearty "Ha—" laugh, "Your strength is decent, no wonder you brag! You'd better beat me first before speaking further!"

"As you wish!"

Speaking that, Ye Liuyun directly launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, pulling Yu Fei's primary Soul into his Soul domain.

No one expected Ye Liuyun to unleash a Spiritual Soul Attack.

Because Yu Fei's Soul is not much weaker than Ye Liuyun's, this tactic, at least in the short term, gives Ye Liuyun no advantage.

Yu Fei let out another loud laugh and directly attacked Ye Liuyun.

He had confidence in his main soul, knowing that, relying on Ye Liuyun's soul power, his soul would not be easily destroyed.

At least not in a short time; this period is already enough for him to kill Ye Liuyun.
