Chapter 2095: Chapter 2095 Surrender
Several elders from the Alliance could not fathom the reason.
"Didn’t the Zhangs also send an early-ninth-realm expert? Was he also killed?" some found it incredible.
If so many experts have died, then how strong must Ye Liuyun be.
"Maybe I should go and see what’s going on!" the third elder, He Wenjin, offered to do so.
He Wenjin was always cautious in his actions, and being an early-ninth-realm himself, everyone else wasn’t too worried about it.
At the moment, Ye Liuyun also met Zhang Yunpeng, the early-ninth-realm expert.
He had a high level of cultivation. His divine soul was almost as strong as that of Ye Liuyun’s, so he had not discovered him before.
He had been following behind these martial practitioners, observing how Ye Liuyun dealt with them.
He was just waiting for an opportunity, trying to see if Ye Liuyun had any other methods.
It wasn’t until after all of his methods were used, and the whole group was either injured or no longer able to continue fighting, that he showed up to stop Ye Liuyun.
However, he had never seen the clone. The clone had been wearing a Concealcape from the beginning, never showing its face. He thought that all of these spatial forces were performed by Ye Liuyun.
Zhang Yunpeng had brought a defensive jewellery, and his spatial force and divine soul were also not inferior to Ye Liuyun’s.
The moment he appeared, Ye Liuyun had a bad feeling and knew that ordinary methods wouldn’t be able to deal with him.
"I surrender!" Ye Liuyun uttered directly.
"Huh?" Zhang Yunpeng was also taken aback, not expecting Ye Liuyun to surrender directly.
This time, he didn’t know what to do.
If Ye Liuyun rebelled, he could have simply executed him, and that would be the end of it.
But now that he surrendered directly, and moreover, the Alliance wanted him alive if possible. If he killed him outright, the Alliance might blame him.
"You’d better not play tricks on me!" Zhang Yunpeng warned Ye Liuyun out loud.
"Of course..."
As Ye Liuyun was speaking, Zhang Yunpeng suddenly made a move, grabbing Ye Liuyun by the throat, sealing his virtuoso with his genuine energy.
He was afraid that Ye Liuyun would not cooperate, so he took advantage of his unpreparedness and made a surprise attack.
"Come on! You’re a ninth-realm expert, you shouldn’t be so scared of me!" Ye Liuyun ridiculed him without the slightest bit of tension.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Zhang Yunpeng, in turn, immediately grabbed Ye Liuyun, threw him into his Interspatial Ring, and detained him inside.
However, he found his hand beginning to feel a little numb before he could even take two steps away.
Looking down, it turned out he had been poisoned!
"This bastard!"
Cursing, Zhang Yunpeng took out an elixir to detoxify.
But suddenly, he felt a spatial force acting upon his defensive jewellery!
He was not yet in time to consume the elixir, immediately using his spatial force to resist.
"He’s got back-up?"
Startled inside, Zhang Yunpeng immediately exploded with genuine energy, bombarding all around him.
Luckily, the clone was not too close to him, and escaped from the attack quick enough with spatial force.
He quickly noticed someone escaping with spatial force, and quickly took this opportunity to consume the elixir.
He didn’t dare to leave immediately, but instead looked around, trying to locate his clone.
But soon he realized, he could not control the poison in his body.
Ye Liuyun’s poison was cultivated over the years, fused with numerous toxics. The elixir he took could only delay the onset of the poison, but not completely detoxify him.
Out of desperation, he once again released Ye Liuyun, hand clutching his neck, threatening him for the antidote, and demanding his clone to show himself.
"Haha," the clone gave a cold laugh, also revealing himself.
Zhang Yunpeng was a little stunned, and when he looked at the person he was holding, he was startled.
The person he was holding in his hands, his appearance was no longer that of Ye Liuyun. He was also clueless when he managed to switch himself out in his grasp.
In fact, it was Ye Liuyun, only that he used Phantom Illusion to change his features, including his Golden Phantom Eyes. Therefore, Zhang Yunpeng genuinely thought he wasn’t holding Ye Liuyun.
"That one is just a substitution! You can’t catch me. Our spatial forces are pretty much the same. But you’re going to perish under the poison before you catch up with me!" The clone initiated a distant conversation with him.
"So, I can kill him immediately, right?" Zhang Yunpeng also wanted to test, whether what Ye Liuyun was saying, was true or false.
The clone nodded nonchalantly, "Sure! But if you kill my man, don’t expect to get the antidote!"
Zhang Yunpeng exerted a little force, squeezing Ye Liuyun until he stuck out his tongue, but he was still hesitating in his heart.
He felt the speed of the poison spreading in his body, knowing his own elixir would not be effective. If he didn’t detoxify soon, the poison might fully kick in.
But the clone just calmly watched him, a shallow smile forming on his face.
"Fine, give me the antidote, and I’ll release him!"
Zhang Yunpeng ultimately didn’t dare to act. A substitute hostage was not worth the risk of his own life.
However, the clone shook his head, "Regardless if you kill him or not, you’ll still have to fight for me, as my servant!"
"Keep dreaming! If you don’t give me the antidote, I’ll take him with me to the grave!" threatened Zhang Yunpeng.
"Grave? Ha-ha!" The clone suddenly laughed, "I won’t let you die! After the poison kicks in and you’re unable to resist, I will take control of you, then detoxify you! So you can’t die!
But don’t expect a comfortable life either! How about I castrate you, chain you up, and keep you like a dog?"
At his words, Zhang Yunpeng felt a chill run down his spine.
Ye Liuyun was right. There would be a process between the poison kicking in and his death.
During that time, he would be unable to resist. If Ye Liuyun wanted revenge and kept him alive, he would have to live in torment!
"What do you want?" Zhang Yunpeng asked Ye Liuyun.
"What I want will depend on your performance!" The clone continued smiling at Zhang Yunpeng.
Zhang Yunpeng pondered for a moment. Since this substitute couldn’t pose a threat to Ye Liuyun, it was pointless to keep him. He might as well take a gamble.
So with a flick of his wrist, he threw Ye Liuyun out of his grasp.
"Thank God! He almost choked me to death just now, you’re really daredevil! Next time I’ll play a trick on you too, let you have a taste of your own medicine!"
After landing, Ye Liuyun patted his chest and started complaining to his clone.
He laughed and said, "I firmly believe that he wouldn’t dare kill you! Because he thinks his life is worth more than a substitute like you!"
"Enough with the nonsense, I gave you back your man. Give me the antidote now!"
Zhang Yunpeng didn’t have time for their idle chatter and urged immediately. The poison in his body was now acting faster and faster, and his genuine energy was showing signs of being uncontrollable.
However, the clone said nonchalantly, "I never said that once you release him, I have to give you the antidote!"
"You..." Zhang Yunpeng was so furious that he wanted to curse.
But he was now at Ye Liuyun’s mercy, so he could only bear it.
"What do you want, then?" Zhang Yunpeng asked.
