Chapter 1813: Chapter 1813 Soul Deadly Slash
Lei Ming and the others were left outside by Ye Liuyun to train with him.
After defeating all these martial practitioners, everyone was massively exhausted.
Once Ye Liuyun and his companions had cleaned up the battlefield, they immediately switched locations, fearing that other martial practitioners would target them again.
They headed in the direction of the Yin-soul Mountain for about seven or eight days. Every day, they had at least three or four battles. Their group of seven or eight people could hardly hide their presence.
Here, if they encountered enemies on the way, it almost directly led to a fight, showing the stark survival of the fittest.
Ye Liuyun and the others also always displayed themselves as martial practitioners of the early stage of the Third Level, fearing that their opponents would be on alert ahead of time and avoid them. All of this was for the purpose of gaining more combat experience.
Xiao Yunfang had no idea that Ye Liuyun was faking his realm, thinking that they were all really at the early stage of the Third level, and just particularly well-skilled in combat.
Once Quan Zhicheng recovered, he was let out by Ye Liuyun’s duplicate to continue joining them in the fights without slacking off.
Along with everyone, Ye Liuyun discovered a valley and led them all to have a rest there.
Throughout the journey, Ye Liuyun and his duplicates often took turns practicing, but they still lacked a lot of advance energy to reach the late stage of the Third Level Yin-yang Realm.
He originally planned to stay here and practice for another two days before moving on. Unexpectedly, a martial practitioner carrying a long knife had been secretly following them.
"A martial practitioner at the early stage of the Fourth Level!" Before the enemy could come any closer, Ye Liuyun spotted him.
However, Ye Liuyun noticed that the martial practitioner was alone, so he didn’t rush to alert the others. He just quietly released his doppelganger out to lie in ambush in preparation for a sneak attack.
By the time the martial practitioner approached closer, Lei Ming and the others also noticed him, but seeing that Ye Liuyun didn’t take action, everyone understood his purpose and didn’t make a sound.
"Someone at the Fourth Level is coming toward us!" Xiao Yunfang jumped up and alarmed everyone as soon as she detected the newcomer with her Divine Sense.
Upon her words, Ye Liuyun finally stood up to ’greet’ the newcomer.
Meanwhile, Lei Ming and the others merely opened their eyes and looked towards the martial practitioner.
"Well, you guys are not that impressive either! Look at you, you killed quite a lot of martial practitioners but still have such poor vigilance! I don’t even have the desire to kill you guys anymore!" The martial practitioner communicated through sound transmission from a distance.
"Well, you can go then! Maybe you can live a few more days!" Ye Liuyun replied in the same manner.
"Sharp tongue indeed. However, me, Slasher, is never one to let my prey go!" The martial practitioner kept advancing in a collected manner.
"Can you handle someone in the early stage of the Fourth Level?" Xiao Yunfang worriedly asked.
Ye Liuyun laughed, returning the question, "What if I can’t? Can you finish him off?"
"You..." Xiao Yunfang was left somewhat speechless by Ye Liuyun’s retort.
Though she had seen Ye Liuyun battle with the martial practitioners at the Fourth Level, she still tightly clutched her spear and shield, thinking that at the very least, she should block a hit for Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun silently pulled out his Demon Slayer Blade, heading towards the martial practitioner, Slasher.
"I’ve heard of you. Seems you’re a well-known expert in Sinless City!"
Slasher acknowledged Ye Liuyun’s words with a nod, "That’s right. Killing me would make you famous. But dude, I kinda admire you. You’re just at the Third Level, yet you have the nerve to fight against me."
Stepping closer, Slasher placed his long knife onto the ground, examining Ye Liuyun from top to bottom.
"That’s a nice blade you got there! I want it so much!" Slasher set his eyes on Ye Liuyun’s blade.
"Buzz!"
The Demon Slayer Blade trembled, indicating its disdain.
At his words, Ye Liuyun also grinned, before saying faintly, "You’re not worthy of it!"
Slasher nodded, "Great, that’s the spirit! Get ready then. I’ll give you a chance to make three moves first!"
Ye Liuyun, with his Golden Phantom Eyes, had already scanned Slasher’s strength, grasping his power very clearly.
"Alright, offer accepted!"
He gave a subtle smile and raised his blade slowly, gathering strength. Then, he slashed down as slow too, as if in slow motion. Besides, no flash of the blade was seen after the slash.
But on the other side, Slasher dodged slightly. And from under his side, a whiff of black air appeared and went through his back.
"Such a strong sword intention and Spatial Force!"
Slasher hadn’t expected Ye Liuyun’s sword intention and Spatial Force to be this strong, and combine so perfectly.
Therefore, he was a bit careless at this first strike.
What’s more, Ye Liuyun’s strike was imbued with Devil Qi. Hence, Slasher’s wound could not heal immediately.
At this realisation, Slasher immediately raised his own long knife.
"What’s the matter? The three moves aren’t up yet. Tryna go back on your words now?" Ye Liuyun taunted.
"You’re strong. I’ve underestimated you!" confessed Slasher.
"But you still have to die!" Slasher brandished his long blade and slashed diagonally at Ye Liuyun.
At the same time, he cried out, "Soul Deadly Slash!"
Ye Liuyun raised his hand in response, and his sword intention met Slasher head-on.
But before the two forces clashed, Slasher threw out another strike, and then another one.
In the following moments, each slash was faster and more powerful than the last.
Although his sword intention was not as strong as Ye Liuyun’s, his genuine energy was much stronger, hence, if he used his genuine energy to fight Ye Liuyun, they could be on par with each other.
Moreover, his sword intention seemed unaffected by Ye Liuyun’s.
Ye Liuyun was also puzzled at first. He was wondering why his sword intention could not suppress Slasher’s. But then he understood, this fellow was not utilising sword intention, but genuine energy.
Even if he was wielding a fire stick, he could still unleash the same amount of power.
When Ye Liuyun received Slasher’s sixth slash, he felt his sword intention weakening.
Therefore, he also integrated some advance energy to fight Slasher till the seventh strike.
When Slasher was preparing to launch the eighth strike, he should have mobilised more genuine energy, but suddenly he felt a stagnation in his genuine energy, making his eighth slash weaker than the seventh.
Concerning the following ninth slash, he hesitated for a moment to continue, resulting in the ninth strike’s power being nearly the same as that of the eighth slash.
Initially, his Soul Deadly Slash emphasized each slash stronger than the previous. Now that his genuine energy was interrupted, it could have been counted as Ye Liuyun breaking his Soul Deadly Slash move.
His cultivation method, relied on the cyclic use of genuine energy, making it more and more powerful, with increasing usage of it. If he succeeded in making his final slash, he could even burst out all his genuine energy.
But now it was interrupted by Ye Liuyun, he had to start all over again. Once he failed to make his last slash, he stopped immediately.
He was about to start anew, yet, Ye Liuyun didn’t give him the chance.
Ye Liuyun too was striking out one stroke after another, each imbued with Devil Qi. Furthermore, the Spatial Force used with each slash varied.
The blade energy emitted would sometimes come close and sometimes move away, some even being slashed directly into Slasher’s body by Ye Liuyun using Spatial Force.
Thus, Slasher had no choice but to defend with all his might. He also adjusted his Spatial Force to go against Ye Liuyun’s.
Regrettably, his Spatial Force was still somewhat inferior to Ye Liuyun’s, causing a few more deep cuts visible to the bone to adorn his body.
His Soul Deadly Slash was given no opportunity to be used again.
Just dealing with Ye Liuyun’s attacks, he was already overwhelmed. Should he even dare to pause slightly, it could potentially result in fatal injuries.
