Chapter 879: Using Oneself as Bait
At this moment, Ye Liuyun desperately shook the soul banner, but still could not collect the fangs and poisonous spines.
The skeleton soldiers, on the other hand, had again killed quite a few.
He looked somewhat anxious, as if worried that the ghost butterfly and ice demon tiger could not hold out.
He directly jumped outside the formation, to a position relatively close to the fangs and poisonous spines, and began to sway the soul banner.
This time, those two ghost generals also found it hard to hold out.
But Shura merely gave a faint smile, released his own soul, and directly attacked Ye Liuyun.
"Really, just inexperienced youth!" Shura thought to himself.
"Ah!"
"Be careful!"
Xia Tianqiong and Li Qingyun shouted at the same time, reminding Ye Liuyun.
But Ye Liuyun at this moment had his back to Shura, and simply did not notice her soul attack.
Even if he had noticed, the attack speed of a Venerable-rank soul was too fast for him to react.
But contrary to everyone's expectation, after Shura's soul stream rushed into Ye Liuyun's sea of consciousness, it never came out again.
And Ye Liuyun, as if unaware, continued to wave the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, absorbing the yin souls of the skeleton soldiers and those two ghost generals.
At this moment, those two ghost generals were already somewhat uncontrollably lifting off the ground, about to be sucked into the soul banner.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun's heart was already filled with wild joy!
Shura's main battle soul had actually been calculated by him, and was now being enveloped by the golden light of the Ten Thousand Gods Command, rapidly being absorbed.
Li Qingyun and Xia Tianqiong were also stunned on the spot. Originally they thought Ye Liuyun was doomed, but they never expected him to be completely unharmed.
Only now did Shura truly begin to feel nervous.
Originally, dealing with the ghost butterfly's soul attack, her secondary soul was already somewhat strained.
She originally thought that after killing Ye Liuyun, she would recall her main battle soul back. Unexpectedly, that main battle soul, once gone, did not return.
Fortunately, her cultivation was relatively solid; although she suffered backlash, she would not be made to vomit blood.
She now is certain that her main battle soul has definitely been destroyed.
Now, when she looks at Ye Liuyun's expression again, she is much more solemn.
"Not good, I must settle this quickly, quickly take care of these two opponents, then go kill this brat!" Shura thought to himself, made a secret resolution, and his attacks began to become fierce.
Ye Liuyun's divine sense felt that Shura's attack power had increased again; he gave a faint smile and continued to sway the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.
However, this time he did not go on absorbing, but directly released the souls of seven Venerable-rank Foreign Tribe members, heading straight for Shura's sea of consciousness.
Shura had lost his main battle soul, and his secondary soul still had to deal with the ghost butterfly; originally it was already insufficient.
Moreover, he never expected that Ye Liuyun would dare to launch a soul attack against her.
Thus she was caught off guard by Ye Liuyun's move.
Ye Liuyun ran out to sway the soul banner; originally he was already somewhat close to her, so those seven Venerable-rank souls actually all rushed into Shura's sea of consciousness.
The ghost butterfly also received Ye Liuyun's hint, immediately strengthened its attack, and together with those seven Venerable-rank souls, surrounded and attacked Shura's remaining soul.
Eight against one, an absolute advantage!
Ye Liuyun again waved the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner. However, this time what he absorbed was Shura's soul!
Shura's secondary soul was actually also Venerable-rank. However, one could never prevail against eight.
Her secondary soul was pulled out of the sea of consciousness by the eight souls together and dragged toward the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner. Once a soul leaves the sea of consciousness, its absorption speed by the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner becomes even faster.
"Eight Venerable-rank souls! I still underestimated you!" Shura also did not expect Ye Liuyun to be so capable.
Ye Liuyun saw that Shura still had leisure to speak, and immediately realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, a Venerable-rank strongman's aura suddenly burst forth from Shura's storage ring, and a figure shot straight toward Ye Liuyun.
And this figure was actually exactly the same as Shura himself.
"Clone!"
Li Qingyun and Xia Tianqiong exclaimed again in surprise.
They never expected that Shura's clone would actually be a Venerable-rank powerhouse.
However, just as they shouted, Ye Liuyun released his main battle soul and directly rushed into the sea of consciousness of Shura's clone.
"Oh no!"
Shura felt that Ye Liuyun's soul was actually also of Venerable-rank realm, and instantly cursed inwardly.
However, she at this moment was already powerless to turn the tide, being directly dragged by several Venerable-rank souls into the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.
After Ye Liuyun's main battle soul attacked into the sea of consciousness of Shura's clone, he also let out a sigh of relief.
That clone's soul had just reached the Zao Hua Realm, and still could not threaten his soul.
Thus his main battle soul immediately began attacking, directly dragging the clone's soul into his own Yin Yang Realm for absorption.
And those two Venerable-rank corpses of Shura, Ye Liuyun gave to the ghost butterfly and ice demon tiger, to help them increase their strength, so they could later assist him in battle.
Shura's and the clone's storage rings were also taken by him. Inside, there actually was a divine sword of Shura that she had not yet had a chance to use.
Although she had been very careful, she was still outwitted by Ye Liuyun.
If a Venerable wants to deal with Ye Liuyun, the best way is to annihilate him with a thunderous strike. If one cannot achieve a one-hit kill, then there is almost no chance.
Because Ye Liuyun's methods are really too many.
Ye Liuyun recalled his main battle soul, and with all his strength waved the soul banner, also collecting the two ghost generals inside the formation.
The Nether Ghost Ship suffered another total annihilation!
That Nether Ghost Ship again became Ye Liuyun's spoil of war.
And inside the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, there now was an additional army of three thousand yin souls, plus commanders and officers.
The number of Venerable-rank yin souls inside the soul banner also rose to eight.
Li Qingyun and Xia Tianqiong watched, their hearts about to jump out of their chests. Every time Ye Liuyun encountered danger, they were too late to help.
Yet he was completely unharmed, and even wiped out the entire army of Nether Hell.
Yet Ye Liuyun's performance was remarkably calm, as if it were expected.
He was already gathering up the Formation Flag, preparing to withdraw, as if the great battle just now had nothing to do with him.
The Ghost Butterfly and Ice Demon Tiger had also long been taken in by him.
"Am I hallucinating? This kid, by his own strength, slaughtered the Asura War General of Nether Hell?" Li Qingyun still couldn't accept reality.
"Hmm, we really didn't lend a hand!" Xia Tianqiong also muttered.
"No wonder Ling Shuang thinks so highly of him! He's too strong—even I'm afraid I'm no match for him!" Thinking this, Xia Tianqiong suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
"Turns out Ye Liuyun doesn't need protection at all!" She also realized Ye Liuyun didn't need her to protect him.
All Ye Liuyun needed was her nominal protection.
As for taking action in secret, Ye Liuyun could handle it himself.
"Looks like we're a bit redundant!" Li Qingyun also realized Ye Liuyun truly hadn't factored them into his plan.
"Looks like I still underestimated this kid!" Li Qingyun now gazed at Ye Liuyun, his eyes shining.
