Chapter 3478

That disciple thought his cultivation realm was high enough and his strength formidable enough that Ye Liuyun would certainly be unable to withstand the power of his true essence.

But this time, Ye Liuyun merged into the void and was completely unaffected by his true essence. He then suddenly appeared behind him and sliced off one of his arms with a single stroke.

“Ah!”

The disciple cried out in alarm, never expecting to suffer such a heavy loss right from the start. He immediately and instinctively concealed himself in the void to evade the attack, hoping to shake off Ye Liuyun, who was pursuing him from behind.

But his Spatial Force was far inferior to Ye Liuyun’s. He still had some chance of winning if they fought outside the void, but once he entered the void, he was even less of a match for Ye Liuyun. In the blink of an eye, Ye Liuyun appeared behind him again.

However, Ye Liuyun showed him no mercy in the void. He immediately launched a soul attack and planted a slave seal on him, then sent him flying with another slash.

The reason he struck him again was to prevent anyone else from realizing that he had planted a slave seal on the disciple.

The disciple was named Feng Yunjie, and he knew quite a bit about Qi Shengyu. Although he knew that Qi Shengyu was trying to deceive him, he thought it was an opportunity to profit at someone else’s expense, which was why he had come. He had never expected to be brought under Ye Liuyun’s control.

The onlookers had not expected Ye Liuyun’s Spatial Force to be so formidable either. Although his cultivation realm was not high, Spatial Force of this level, combined with a weapon, was enough to threaten them.

Some of them had already realized that they might have been deceived by Qi Shengyu. Others immediately began thinking of countermeasures and weighing whom they should challenge next.

Ye Liuyun calmly drew Feng Yunjie’s severed arm into his hand and pretended to threaten him. “I can reattach your arm, but only if you acknowledge me as your master. Then I’ll return it to you. Then you can use your resources and points to buy your life. It’ll be a fair deal. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving here alive!”

Feng Yunjie had lost an arm and suffered a deep slash across his back, so it was easy for others to believe that he no longer had the strength to fight. Taking advantage of the situation, he agreed to Ye Liuyun’s terms and signed a master-servant contract with him in exchange for his arm, then went off to slowly heal his injuries.

He then handed all his resources over to Ye Liuyun. As for his token, Ye Liuyun did not deduct its points. Instead, he planned to use Feng Yunjie’s token to accumulate points from then on, so as not to place too much pressure on Chen Yueying.

Ye Liuyun also removed the slave seal from him, lest anyone discover it later. One master-servant contract was enough.

The martial cultivators on the other side fell utterly silent for a moment. No one had expected a guard at the second level of cultivation to capture a fifth-level sect disciple so easily.

“This guard must have concealed his cultivation realm!” one disciple suddenly exclaimed, as though he had come to a realization.

The others nodded along, all feeling that he had a point.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled and explained, “I definitely haven’t concealed my cultivation realm. But no matter what, since you all came here today, you’ll have to leave behind enough points and resources to buy your lives. Otherwise, none of you are leaving! But you can choose whether to continue challenging her or challenge me.”

Ye Liuyun felt that even if these people challenged Chen Yueying, she should still be able to handle most of them.

At this moment, a disciple suddenly asked, “Can we challenge the other guards?”

The question made Ye Liuyun laugh. “Ha-ha, you really have no shame! You want to pick on someone with a lower cultivation realm? Why not find a maid with no cultivation at all to fight?”

“Forget it. They won’t take part in the fight at all! Only the two of us are available to choose from, and in the end, you’ll all have to get past me. So I suggest you choose me directly!”

“Then let’s fight! With so many of us, are we really afraid of the two of them? We can wear them down even if it kills us!” Seeing that there was no other choice, one disciple threw caution to the wind and tried to rally everyone into taking turns fighting Ye Liuyun and Chen Yueying.

“Good, what spirit! I like people like you! Come on, I’ll challenge you!”

Ye Liuyun nodded with a malicious grin and directly challenged that disciple.

“...” The disciple was speechless for a moment. He had only wanted to goad someone else into making the first move; he had not intended to be the first one sent to his death.

But Ye Liuyun had singled him out, and everyone was watching him, so he had no choice but to step forward. Especially since Ye Liuyun’s cultivation realm was lower than his, he had to accept the challenge.

Thus, he braced himself and slowly shuffled outward.

Ye Liuyun was in no hurry. He watched him with a smile and asked, “Are there any points in your token?”

“What do you mean?” the disciple asked uneasily.

Ye Liuyun deliberately spoke in a mysterious tone. “Points can buy your life! If you don’t have any, you’re going to be in trouble!”

“You... beat me first, then we’ll talk!”

The disciple deliberately dawdled, then suddenly attacked Ye Liuyun when he drew near. He used the same ambush tactic as Ye Liuyun, approaching with Spatial Force before launching a sudden attack.

Ye Liuyun’s golden eyes had seen through his plan long ago, so he did not dodge at all. He merely turned to the side unhurriedly and swung his blade back toward the direction from which the disciple appeared.

With a sharp hiss, one of the disciple’s arms was sliced off by Ye Liuyun, as though he had deliberately rammed it into Ye Liuyun’s blade.

By the time the disciple tried to pull his arm back, it was already too late. At the same time, Ye Liuyun’s Scarlet Soul eyes took advantage of his panic to cast an illusion technique on him.

The disciple’s heart was filled with fear. He could think of only one way to save his life: handing over all his resources and points.

But he really had no points, only a few resources, and not many at that. Ye Liuyun looked at the resources he produced and curled his lips.

“That’s all the resources you have, and you don’t even have any points, yet you want to buy your life? Save your breath. I’ll take the resources myself!”

As he spoke, he put away his blade and switched to his fists, then punched the disciple and used him as a sparring partner.

The disciple instinctively used his true essence to defend himself. But Ye Liuyun’s arms had been refined with Divine Jade Bones, so he easily met the disciple head-on and sent him flying.

Before the disciple could even hit the ground, Ye Liuyun followed with a spatial shift and smashed his fist into the disciple’s head, blowing it apart. He then put the corpse away to leave it as cultivation fodder for the demonic beasts or demon soldiers.

Ye Liuyun also took all the resources remaining in his possession, without wasting a single thing.

“Hiss.”

A chorus of sharp intakes of breath arose. The disciples on the other side had never expected Ye Liuyun to actually dare kill someone, showing not the slightest mercy. A layer of cold sweat broke out on the backs of some disciples who had no points.

The gazes of these people all turned to the last disciple at the fifth level of the Taixu realm.

Ye Liuyun’s movements were far too strange, and they had no confidence that they could deal with him. They could only rely on the strongest disciple.

That disciple also stepped forward of his own accord.

“You do have some skill. I’ll see what you’re made of!”
