Chapter 3365
Ye Liuyun merely had his entire demon army use firepower chariots and heavy crossbows to intercept this demon army and prevent it from escaping.
He then went to the other side and released puppets and firepower chariots. After that, he led the demonic beasts and the Death Legion’s firepower chariots to intercept the demon army from the front, trapping the hundred thousand demons in their midst.
“Kill!”
Ye Liuyun also gave the order, and the firepower chariots surrounding them on all four sides opened fire at once.
This time, he released the Demon-Sealing Stele as well. He also led the demonic beasts into the demon army and began slaughtering them. At the same time, the puppet legion and the female soldiers, advancing along two separate routes, both began pushing forward.
The two forces responsible for the main assault had firepower chariots at the front, followed by heavy crossbows that continuously fired at the demon army.
This demon army also realized that it had been surrounded, but its commander did not lose courage. Instead, he was relieved that he finally had a chance to fight Ye Liuyun. He never expected, however, that the Demon-Sealing Stele would target him first.
Ye Liuyun combined his spellcraft and crimson eyes with the Demon-Sealing Stele, killing the commander first.
The great demon commander also saw that this army had been surrounded, but he merely ordered the hundred thousand demons responsible for support to hurry over and reinforce them. The other two armies continued charging straight toward the warship where Yu Xiaofeng had previously been.
However, the area around the warship was covered in layers of formations, and those two demon armies suffered heavy losses as well.

The hundred thousand demons in the surrounded force suffered the greatest casualties. Under the unceasing bombardment of firepower chariots from all four sides, even their shields could not withstand it. On top of that, Ye Liuyun was rampaging through their ranks with the Demon-Sealing Stele and the demonic beasts, throwing them into even greater chaos. The demon soldiers on all four sides were forced to fight on their own.
By the time the hundred thousand reinforcements arrived, Ye Liuyun had already led the demonic beasts out through the slaughter and intercepted them in front of the hundred thousand soldiers. He released the black-armored elite troops and used firepower chariots to stop them.
After Qi Sang investigated the strength of the black-armored soldiers with its spiritual sense, it was startled as well. It immediately warned the demon army’s commander not to engage these black-armored soldiers head-on. Otherwise, his hundred thousand soldiers might not even be enough for these ten thousand-plus black-armored soldiers to kill.
Now, Ye Liuyun’s fifteen thousand black-armored soldiers were nearly all at the peak of the ninth level of the Unity Realm. They were also familiar with coordinating in battle formations. An elite force of this strength truly could not be broken through by an army of merely a hundred thousand, especially since they were also using firepower chariots.
The great demon commander surveyed the situation on the battlefield. The armies attacking the warship along the other two routes had been held back by the formations and certainly could not send reinforcements for the time being. Besides, no one knew what ambushes might be waiting near the warship.
Now that the hundred thousand soldiers were trapped and the hundred thousand reinforcements were blocked, even if he dispatched more troops, they would not arrive in time.
But even if they would be too late, he still had to send troops out. At the very least, they might frighten Ye Liuyun into retreating and prevent the demons from suffering even greater losses.
Ye Liuyun’s crimson eyes also saw that the demons had sent another three hundred thousand troops toward him. But they would definitely not arrive in time. Destroying the hundred thousand demons in the left-route army was already a foregone conclusion.
So he was in no hurry. Instead, he led the demonic beasts, summoned the Demon-Sealing Stele over, and charged into the reinforcements again, wreaking havoc.
“Outrageous!” Seeing Ye Liuyun act so recklessly, the great demon commander slammed his hand on the table in fury. Yet he was completely helpless against Ye Liuyun.
Even the peak ninth-level experts in the army were no match for Ye Liuyun and his people. All the commander could do was watch helplessly as Ye Liuyun led the demonic beasts and the Demon-Sealing Stele rampage through the army.
As for Qi Sang, it had no authority to give orders. Qi Sang was only responsible for helping it gather information about the enemy. Thus, it could not ask Qi Sang to take action.
In truth, Qi Sang also wanted to take the opportunity to get revenge on Ye Liuyun. However, it was somewhat wary of Ye Liuyun’s Buddhist radiance and illusions, so it searched for an opportunity to attack the people around Ye Liuyun instead.
When these demonic beasts had attacked it last time, it had been flustered, but it remembered exactly who had attacked it and by what means.
The Dragon Maiden had a golden spear in her sea of consciousness. Lei Ming, White Tiger, the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, and the two Xuanwu could all release black light. These people posed far too great a threat to it.
Vermilion Bird possessed powerful spiritual-soul energy as well as flames. Little Blue Ice had a Soul-Calming Pearl, while the Demon Lion possessed a Void-Realm Fifth-Grade Wind-Thunder Fan. Although it did not know whether there were treasures in their seas of consciousness, all of them were dangerous to it.
Thus, it ultimately narrowed its targets down to Qiong Qi, Chilian, or Megalithic Ape. Qiong Qi’s formations, Chilian’s ability to absorb power of bloodline, and Megalithic Ape’s ability to petrify his physical body were all ineffective against soul attacks, while the spiritual-soul power of all three was weak.
In the end, it chose Chilian from among the three, believing that Chilian posed the greatest threat to the soldiers.
Thus, while Ye Liuyun and the others were fighting, it once again released a soul origin, Soul Roaming the Void, and sent it toward the battlefield.
When the great demon commander saw that it was about to launch a sneak attack, he could not help feeling delighted, thinking that someone on Ye Liuyun’s side was about to suffer.
Similarly, Ye Liuyun could not help feeling secretly delighted when he sensed Qi Sang release its spiritual soul.
“I never expected that ambushing a demon army would yield an unexpected harvest! This fellow is quite bold, daring to release its spiritual soul.”
Ye Liuyun secretly notified the Demon-Sealing Stele, worried that it would reveal that it had discovered Qi Sang’s soul origin and frighten it away. He had to wait until Qi Sang’s soul origin could no longer escape before making his move.
With his crimson eyes, he clearly saw Qi Sang’s soul origin and discovered that it was actually watching Chilian. He immediately understood its intentions.
But this time, no matter whom Qi Sang targeted, it would not escape the fate of being destroyed. Qi Sang wanted to take advantage of the chaos to ambush the demonic beasts around Ye Liuyun and eliminate his support, while Ye Liuyun wanted to use the chaos to ambush Qi Sang and destroy its soul origin.
Qi Sang was extremely careful to conceal the aura of its spiritual soul. However, Ye Liuyun now had three soul origins in his sea of consciousness, with another nearly finished being refined, so his spiritual-soul power was far greater than Qi Sang’s.
When Ye Liuyun decided that they were close enough and Qi Sang could no longer escape, he immediately released his three spiritual souls. They charged toward Qi Sang in different forms.
One soul origin transformed into a battle saber, another into a golden dragon, and the third into the form of a Thunder Dragon Beast. Together, they surrounded and attacked Qi Sang’s soul origin.
Even though Ye Liuyun’s soul origins were somewhat weaker, three against one still gave him a certain advantage.
Qi Sang’s soul origin was ambushed by Ye Liuyun’s soul saber at the very beginning. One slash sent the Netherworld Ghostfire and poison source into its body. The golden dragon’s violet eyes shook it, and the Thunder Dragon Beast struck it viciously with lightning, leaving it powerless to resist.
The golden dragon and the Thunder Dragon Beast worked together to drag its soul origin into Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness. The twenty experts protecting Qi Sang also desperately released their spiritual souls to intercept them.
However, their spiritual-soul power was far too weak. Several were hacked to death by the soul saber, while several more were blasted to death by the Thunder Dragon Beast’s lightning power.
