Chapter 906: Divine Rank Battle Soldier
"I didn't do much either, so just leave it! That blood‑colored sphere makes me sick, and that skeleton I don't want either!" Ling Shuang flatly refused the items.
"Then I don't want it either!" Yuan Datou said outright.
After Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou entered the Migung, they were basically useless and had to rely on Ye Liuyun to look after them, feeling too embarrassed to claim any loot.
"How about this: you two, refine and absorb this bat skeleton to strengthen your bones. I won't give you the clump of refined blood and this severed blade; I need them!"
Ye Liuyun didn't shortchange them either. Whether they appeared or contributed, since they came together, they must take part in the distribution.
"Always taking advantage of you, thanks a lot!" Ling Shuang politely thanked Ye Liuyun.
Yuan Datou was not polite at all; he immediately ran over, dismantled the skeleton, and split it into two portions.
"Haha, you should learn from Datou, don't be so polite!" Ye Liuyun laughed.
Then the three of them began to absorb and refine it individually.
Ye Liuyun assigned the Ghost Butterfly and Magic Vine to guard the area; call them if any trouble arises.
He first took out the clump of refined blood and began to absorb it.
This is formed from all the bats, condensed from one's own or others' refined blood, and its power is extremely pure.
Ye Liuyun's blood‑line power was already strong, and after breaking through his realm, it didn't improve much.
So this absorption quickly took in the entire clump of refined blood, turning it into a luminous essence, much faster than Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou.
Moreover, the refined blood was swiftly refined and merged into his own blood‑line.
He felt his blood‑line power gain a noticeable boost. Fully activated now, it should even be able to suppress the blood‑line of a Honored Rank strongman.
Afterwards, he produced the Nine‑Dragon Cauldron and began to refine and purify the severed blade.
Then he took out the Demon Slaying Sword and infused the liquid essence derived from the severed blade into the Demon Slaying Sword's edge.
The process sounds simple, but it is extremely time‑consuming.
He returned to the Xuan Kong Shi and spent almost ten full days there before the Demon Slaying Sword's improvement was complete.
Once the blade was forged, the Demon Slaying Sword leapt out on its own, circled Ye Liuyun twice, showing great satisfaction.
The Demon Slaying Sword contains Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense; it can actually fight on its own. Now it should have no trouble battling a Yin‑Yang Realm strongman.
However, Ye Liuyun has always feared it being taken, so he rarely lets it fight on its own.
"Huh, your sword's grade shouldn't be low either, right?"
Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou had already absorbed those skeletons into a heap of powder. Seeing Ye Liuyun's sword suddenly fly on its own, they couldn't help but ask.
"I always thought it was just an ordinary sword!" Ling Shuang added.
Ye Liuyun's Demon Slaying Sword has almost never displayed its grade, so outsiders assume it's an ordinary sword.
But when Ling Shuang called it an ordinary sword, the Demon Slaying Sword became displeased!
Suddenly, its oppressive aura burst forth, revealing the Divine Rank battle soldier's might, and it slashed directly at Ling Shuang.
The two of them were already close, and they were stunned by the Demon Slaying Sword's blade intent and oppressive pressure, struggling even to move; they even thought the sword was really coming to cut them, unable to dodge.
"Ah!"
Ling Shuang was startled and shouted out immediately.
However, the Demon Slaying Sword only frightened them; after releasing a bit of pressure, it immediately withdrew.
It didn't even reach near Ling Shuang before it turned around, returned to Ye Liuyun's side, and, like a mischievous child, swung its blade to show off to Ling Shuang.
"Hahaha!" Yuan Datou couldn't help but laugh: "The boss's assistants are each more amusing than the last!"
Ye Liuyun also burst into laughter. He knew the Demon Slaying Sword possessed Divine Sense, but hadn't expected it to be so mischievous.
Ling Shuang's face had turned pale from the scare; seeing them mock them, they stamped their foot anxiously: "You two still have the nerve to laugh!"
"Control your sword!" they shouted at Ye Liuyun, though a smile still appeared on their face.
After a while of joking, Ye Liuyun sheathed the Demon Slaying Sword and prepared to continue exploring the Secret Realm.
Enemies were still hunting them outside, so they couldn't stay here forever.
"I just want to find someone to fight now, to test how hard my bones really are!" Yuan Datou also grabbed an iron rod, eager to try.
"Don't rush; there's someone for you to fight! Let's do the mission first."
Ye Liuyun let the Magic Vine lead the way back to the entrance. Outside, the mist still swirled.
Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil and saw Xiao Tianqing and others still waiting outside.
He ignored them, grabbed Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang, and slipped back into the void, distancing themselves from Xiao Tianqing and the others.
Afterwards, he struck a large tree with a thunderous palm, exposing his True Essence fluctuation and catching Xiao Tianqing's attention.
Only after Xiao Tianqing and his men caught up did they depart first, hurrying toward the location indicated by the compass where the next resource lay.
This time the divination board's needle was extremely steady, pointing straight at one direction without wobble; the board itself even gave a slight tremor.
Moreover, as they approached, the board's vibration grew increasingly noticeable.
"This time it should be a relatively strong energy. The stronger the energy the board indicates, the less the needle wavers. And the stronger the board's tremor, the more potent the energy."
Ye Liuyun explained this to Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou.
Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou also figured it out; following Ye Liuyun, they left almost no resources behind and had no chance to report to the Sect or complete the mission.
Anyway, they'd already made a profit. Selling some Xuan Jin Stone back home and hiring people to finish the task would be enough.
Moreover, their entire skeletons had been reinforced, boosting their strength, making it already very worthwhile!
Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil could see from afar that the board pointed toward a towering mountain whose peak was hidden within the clouds.
Mid‑mountain there were many ferocious beasts; even from a distance one could hear their roars.
Ye Liuyun immediately led Ling Shuang and the others, burst out of the void onto the ground, walked a short distance to leave a clue for Xiao Tianqing, then slipped back into the void and turned back.
When Xiao Tianqing and his men charged ahead and fought the beasts, they only then emerged from behind and followed from a distance.
Ye Liuyun's Honored Rank Divine Sense can control distance very well.
He can probe Xiao Tianqing and his group, while they cannot detect him.
Moreover, his cross‑space Golden Pupil can monitor them at any time, so if he doesn't want to appear, Xiao Tianqing basically has no chance of finding him.
Now Xiao Tianqing and the others have become the pioneers for Ye Liuyun and his group.
