Chapter 3331

“Even if he can block it, we can just hack at him a few more times!”

Ye Liuyun understood the strength of Li Wufeng’s sword intent and knew he could not hold out much longer, so he paid him no mind. If one slash was not enough, he would simply strike a few more times.

Thus, he and his two clones took turns hacking at Li Wufeng in a relentless barrage. In the end, they completely exhausted the power of Li Wufeng’s spatial world, causing it to collapse.

In the end, Li Wufeng still failed to withstand Ye Liuyun’s slash and was hacked into minced flesh by Ye Liuyun’s final strike. Until the moment of his death, he found it inconceivable that Ye Liuyun could become so enormous and unleash such powerful sword intention.

After hacking Li Wufeng to death, Ye Liuyun did not strike again. He immediately returned to his original size along with his two clones, withdrew to the very back of the formation, and left the demon army to continue advancing.

Seeing how powerful Ye Liuyun was, Li Hongwu and the others could only shake their heads and sigh, preparing to send people to seek peace and offer resources.

However, once the two clones returned, they went straight to the two sides of the demon army and released the female soldiers and ferocious beasts.

“Kill!”

Ye Liuyun gave the order from behind the army.

The three armies accelerated forward at the same time. The firepower chariots began sweeping back and forth, forming a crisscrossing web of firepower in front of the army. In a fan-shaped formation, they surrounded the entire Li family.

Then the puppets and the female soldiers riding Azure Wind Wolves all raised their heavy crossbows. Following behind the firepower chariots, they gradually picked up speed, charging faster and faster.

Li Hongwu and the Li family elders had already realized that something was wrong. They immediately sent a voice transmission to Ye Liuyun: “We surrender. What happened before was merely the personal doing of one of our elders and the disciples. It was not our intention. We are willing to hand over seventy percent of the family’s resources to you!”

Ye Liuyun replied coldly, “I already gave you a chance. You thought the army’s attack was a child’s game—you could fight whenever you wanted and stop whenever you wanted!”

Li Hongwu immediately understood that Ye Liuyun was displeased with Li Wufeng’s resistance and had extended his anger to the entire Li family. He intended to exterminate the Li family completely.

Thus, he immediately promised Ye Liuyun, “We’ll give you all of the Li family’s resources, even the storage rings of everyone here. We only ask that Young Master spare the disciples of our Li family.”

Only then did he realize that they did not even know Ye Liuyun’s name, yet they had ended up being beaten by him to the point of facing the extermination of their entire clan.

“Too late!”

Ye Liuyun merely replied coldly before ignoring him.

What he said was also the truth. If they withdrew the army now and the other side took the opportunity to counterattack, they would be the ones to suffer losses. Moreover, there were still two to three hundred thousand martial cultivators on the other side—a number more than sufficient to pose a fatal threat to his army.

Therefore, once the army had launched its attack, it was impossible for them to stop halfway without annihilating these enemies.

Li Hongwu and the Li family elders were all filled with regret. Some even cursed Li Wufeng for dragging the Li family into this disaster.

But by then, nothing they said could change anything. Ye Liuyun’s army had already begun attacking the martial cultivators outside the Li family’s stronghold.

Those martial cultivators had not expected the battle to reach them, so they immediately fled into the family grounds for their lives.

At this point, Li Hongwu had no choice but to send the elders out and organize all the martial cultivators within the family to do their utmost to intercept the attackers.

Seeing them take action, Ye Liuyun feared that the soldiers would suffer excessive casualties. He therefore used the power of time and condensed giant spirit-qi beasts, sending them ahead to slaughter a wave of the Li family’s martial cultivators and break apart their outer defenses.

As a result, the enormous Thunder Dragon Beast unleashed its full power, blasting out lightning and killing a large number of the Li family’s martial cultivators, sending the survivors fleeing in all directions.

Li Hongwu and the other elders also attacked one after another, but it was nothing more than an arm trying to stop a chariot. They were swallowed up by the attacks of the spirit-qi beasts.

After the firepower chariots in Ye Liuyun’s army blasted down the walls surrounding the Li family’s outer perimeter, they were all put away. The demon soldiers had already begun launching surprise attacks with crossbow bolts.

The Li family’s martial cultivators were shot down in swaths, with no effective means of defense at all.

Even when someone brought out a treasure, it could block attacks from the front but not from the sides. With the soldiers working together, not even a single treasure was of any use, and some people did not even know who had shot them before they died.

The female soldiers on both sides and the puppets in the center charged the fastest, already cutting their way into the ranks of the martial cultivators. Along with the ferocious beasts behind them, they released their bloodline powers and began killing the martial cultivators whose cultivation levels had been suppressed. Riding the Azure Wind Wolves, they led the tide of ferocious beasts in its advance.

Wherever the soldiers and the tide of beasts passed, only bloodstains remained; nothing else was left behind.

Ye Liuyun finally withdrew the spirit-qi beasts and stopped attacking. Before dusk, the entire battlefield had fallen silent. Wherever the demons and ferocious beasts had passed, even the battlefield had already been cleaned up.

Ye Liuyun also had them all return to the spatial world to sort through the spoils and recover their true essence. He himself collected the Li family’s last planet into the spatial world.

The Li family, one of the four great families of the Sword Dance Galaxy, had paid the price of clan extermination for the Supreme Elder’s arrogance.

The news quickly spread throughout the Sword Dance Galaxy. The other three great families had been watching the battle at the Li family all along. As soon as the Li family was wiped out, they immediately restrained their many branches, ordering them not to obstruct incoming flying vessels for the time being.

These families had often robbed passing martial cultivators in the starry sky, but now every family was worried about encountering Ye Liuyun.

Thus, when Ye Liuyun later released a flying vessel and took everyone toward the planet where the Sword Dance Stone was located, no one obstructed them.

After Ye Liuyun landed on that planet, the remaining three great families even sent people to welcome him. No one dared show the slightest disrespect.

When Ye Liuyun said that he wanted to see the Sword Dance Stone, they immediately led the way and brought him before a massive rock. Everything went extremely smoothly.

The enormous rock was about three zhang in diameter, and its surface was irregular. It looked no different from an ordinary mountain rock. Ye Liuyun sensed it for a moment but detected nothing unusual.

If he had not seen sword cultivators cultivating nearby, he would even have suspected that these people were trying to deceive him.

“Mr. Ye, the Sword Dance Stone only reacts to those who cultivate the sword!” An elder in charge of receiving him noticed the confusion in Ye Liuyun’s eyes and promptly explained.

It was precisely for this reason that they had felt safe allowing Ye Liuyun to approach the Sword Dance Stone. Since he cultivated the saber, they believed he would not be interested in the rock.

Ye Liuyun immediately asked Feng Wanyu, Lin Feier, Qingyan, Piaoyun, Qin Mengxi, and the others to try it. Sure enough, they all sensed different sword intents. In each of their seas of consciousness, a powerful sword cultivator appeared and demonstrated the sword intent they had cultivated.

“This is truly strange. There are actually multiple sword intents within a single rock!”

Ye Liuyun was astonished inwardly and activated his Golden Eyes to examine the enormous rock. Only then did he discover that there was a sealing formation inside the stone, within which several exceptionally powerful seeds of sword intent had been sealed.
