Chapter 84: The Final Battle

Just now, Ye Liuyun's bloodline, spurred by this crisis, suddenly awakened a great deal, better than the effect of him taking bloodline pills for two months!

The many cracks and wounds on his body are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Take another Yi Dao from me!"

As he said, the bloodline power throughout his body suddenly erupted!

The barbarian Martial Cultivator only felt a terrifying battle intent pressing down, even causing his True Essence to flow sluggishly.

He was startled, struggling with all his might, when suddenly a soul sword pierced his Sea of Consciousness, slicing his Soul.

"Ah!" He lost his composure and actually shouted.

"Open Heaven!"

At the same time, Ye Liuyun struck again, a Yi Dao "Open Heaven", slashing straight through!

At the critical moment, the Martial Cultivator's True Essence surged violently, shielding his entire body!

"Open!" Ye Liuyun roared! All his True Essence was drawn out, condensed into this Yi Dao!

A dazzling blade flash suddenly fell! Everyone's eyes flickered. Then a "Boom—" was heard.

When they opened their eyes again, they only saw Ye Liuyun leaning on his sword, panting, a deep trench carved into the ground, and the barbarian Martial Cultivator had turned to ash.

Ye Liuyun immediately tossed a pill into his mouth and rested on the spot.

"What are you all standing still for? Quickly take the chance to kill him." A barbarian Leader said to the Martial Cultivator beside him.

The barbarian Martial Cultivators only then reacted, rushing toward Ye Liuyun.

Song Tao also shouted loudly at that moment. "Protect Ye Liuyun!"

His shout instantly pulled everyone out of their daze, and they all surged to attack around Ye Liuyun.

At that moment, the Black Python's silhouette blocked in front of Ye Liuyun, fully shielding him.

It swung its long tail, sweeping and smashing fiercely; for a while the barbarian Martial Cultivators dared not approach.

The Black Python's size was simply too massive! Just the gravity of its strike, they dared not resist.

However, the Black Python's cultivation level was insufficient; besieged by numerous Martial Cultivators, it quickly became riddled with wounds.

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered the Black Python to retreat, but it insisted on protecting Ye Liuyun, and was eventually cut into several pieces by a few Sixth Layer True Essence Martial Cultivators working together.

Yet before dying, it used its head to fiercely bite a Sixth Layer True Essence Martial Cultivator, crushing him and perishing together with the enemy.

The onlookers were all terrified.

So Ye Liuyun's pet beasts are that fierce!

After he recovered, Ye Liuyun also raised his sword again and charged out, to avenge the Black Python.

Seeing Ye Liuyun charge again, the barbarian Martial Cultivators were left with only dread. Someone shouted and turned to run.

The one who led the charge caused more people to follow and run back.

The barbarian Grand General saw this and had to order a retreat!

Ye Liuyun and his group also stopped the pursuit. Everyone was nearly exhausted; merely holding off the attack was already good!

Then the City Defense Leader ordered the cleaning of the battlefield and the collection of barbarian corpses.

The Wolf Pack lost nearly a third in this battle, but they obtained over five thousand corpses as food.

Moreover, having witnessed Ye Liuyun's ferocity, they admired him greatly and did not withdraw. They only summoned the Wolf Pack to carry away the corpses, while the wolves that had joined the fight stayed.

Now, as Ye Liuyun passes the Wolf Pack, all the wolves lower their heads in salute!

At nightfall, the barbarian High-level Martial Cultivators attacked the city again, charging up the walls. Many had not recovered, yet had to fight again.

Although repelled by Ye Liuyun and his men, they found it hard to get enough rest.

At dawn, the barbarian army attacked the city again.

So they had to fight multiple times daily; most were barely holding on, and their combat power kept waning.

Several times they almost lost the walls to the barbarians. In the end, only thanks to Ye Liuyun and the Golden Armor Guard fighting desperately did they retake the walls.

With such frequent battles, everyone was getting worn out!

Only Ye Liuyun remained vigorous. His Qi Sea was already ten times larger than a normal person's; after his Meridians were rebuilt, his spirit‑essence absorption speed was much faster, so he recovered quickly. Moreover, he possessed a Condensing Core Pill, making him the most resilient.

At this moment, inside the main tent, Ye Liuyun and the others wore solemn expressions.

They estimated that reinforcements would take five or six days to arrive. Yet they could not hold out that long!

Finally, Ye Liuyun said, "Gather all our strength, prepare for the final battle! Then we will withdraw to the next city to hold it."

Song Tao and the Leader exchanged glances and nodded, "Alright! The Golden Armor Guard that can fight number twenty."

The City Defense Leader said, "Inside the city, about five thousand soldiers are still able to fight."

As for the Wolf Pack, Ye Liuyun had given them enough corpses yesterday. After fulfilling his promise, he let them withdraw.

They now had only a little over twenty left; if they kept fighting, they'd be wiped out, so there was little point in keeping them.

And just as they were preparing for the final battle, the Eleventh Hall Guard arrived with over two hundred high‑level Martial Cultivators and ten thousand soldiers as reinforcements.

It turned out that after he sent the message out, he mobilized the local City Lord's Office in a nearby city, began recruiting Martial Cultivator reinforcements, and borrowed ten thousand soldiers from the City Lord's Office, returning just in time today.

This gave the previously desperate crowd a glimmer of hope.

Song Tao laughed, "Your return is truly timely! We were about to give up, just preparing for the final battle!"

The Eleventh Hall Guard, after assessing the situation, also expressed great admiration. "You've managed to hold out for so many days; that's no small feat!"

Everyone, however, credited Ye Liuyun. Without him, the city would have fallen long ago!

The subsequent battle remained brutal. The troops the Eleventh Hall Guard brought only extended the resistance by three days before being nearly wiped out again!

Now they again faced the dilemma of the final battle.

Nevertheless, they had become resigned! Holding on for a while is a while! If it truly becomes impossible at the end, there's nothing to do; they've done their best!

The horn outside the city blared, and they knew the barbarians were about to launch another assault.

In fact, the barbarians were also frustrated. It's just one city; they gave it their all and ended up fighting for so many days!

Now they also know the opposite side has little resistance, so their Grand General gave the order, the whole force pressed forward and seized the city in one go.

"Another grand spectacle, they really think highly of us!" the Ten Hall Guard laughed when they saw the barbarians charging in with the entire army.

Leader Xu Ran said to Ye Liuyun: "I, Xu Ran, am fortunate to fight alongside the Holy Son! I am the city's defending commander, swearing to live and die with the city. I hope the Holy Son will look after my subordinates in the future!"

"We swear to live and die with the Leader!" the defending troops behind him, treating death as a return home, shouted in unison.

Seeing these hot‑blooded youths, Ye Liuyun felt genuine admiration.

He nodded deeply, drew his Azure Cloud Blade. "Our final battle: wipe out these barbarians!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

This group surged again toward the barbarian army.

Even as comrades kept falling around them, none retreated.

Finally, Song Tao thought it was enough and said to Ye Liuyun and Li Mengxi: "Two Holy Sons, you withdraw first; the Golden Armor Guard will hold the rear."

Ye Liuyun replied: "Mengxi, you go first; I can still hold on a while longer!"

Li Mengxi nodded and withdrew immediately.

After fighting a bit more, Song Tao and the city's defending Leader Xu Ran again urged Ye Liuyun to retreat.

Ye Liuyun laughed: "Both of you, if I'm not mistaken, you won't leave, right? Since you're staying, do you think I, Ye Liuyun, am a coward who would abandon you and flee alone?"
