Chapter 2187: Chapter 2187 Fairy Clan’s Defeat
The entire process took exactly five breaths of time, and the field immediately returned to normal, with the battle still ongoing.
For some reason, the long sword had lost its target. After waiting for a bit, there was no indication from a Fairy Clan elder, thus it started emitting its soul power to search for Ye Liuyun.
"This sword’s divine soul is really not that clever!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself, noticing that the divine soul of the long sword had only proceeded to search forward.
However, its divine soul power, which formed the shape of a sword, proved to be significantly more powerful that that of his.
"What if I let Bai Su attack its soul power?" Ye Liuyun inquired of the Book Demon.
"In that case, it would launch an attack at her. Bai Su could deal with its soul power but would not be able to withstand the sword."
"What about using the Zen Mountain?"
"The moment it’s out, all of the martial practitioners in this area, except the ones from the Ghostic World, would perish. That even includes those in your city!"
Finding no other way, he had no choice but to fight a war of attrition with the sword.
After a while, the sword soul finally found Ye Liuyun.
It quickly retreated into the body of the sword, controlling it to turn around.
However, its turning speed was relatively slow, and Ye Liuyun managed to keep up with it using Spatial Folding.
As a result, after the long sword turned around, it found Ye Liuyun had vanished again, so it continued to dispatch its divine soul to search for him.
His Elemental Spirit Secret Skill had consistently been hindering the long sword from absorbing spiritual energy, thus it was noticeable that its power was declining.
The rest of the battles were going rather smoothly. The advantage now completely belonged to Ye Liuyun’s side.
The soul cultivators had already seized the opportunity to capture the enemies. The martial practitioners also formed groups of three, assaulting and gradually surrounding the Fairy Clan, tightening the encirclement.
After the Devil Vine had swallowed up all the bodies, it also joined in assaulting the enemies.
The battle ensured that not a single Fairy Clan martial practitioner escaped.
The people within the city, witnessing this scenario, had already started cheering and celebrating.
Only a few experts, knowing that Ye Liuyun was still in danger, kept their anxious eyes fixed on him.
"Get some of the Fairy Clan captives to control this sword!" The Book Demon reminded.
Ye Liuyun immediately summoned a Fairy martial practitioner who had just been bound with a soul contract and instructed him to grab the longsword.
"Can they control it?"
Only then did Ye Liuyun asked back.
"Of course not! Can the sacred sword be controlled by any ordinary person?"
"Then why did you tell me to find one?"
"To drain its energy!"
At that moment, sure enough, the sword started struggling against the captive’s grasp, desperately trying to fly out of his hand.
"Hold it tight!" Ye Liuyun immediately ordered the captive.
So he gripped tightly to the sword with both hands. Though his hands were cracking, bleeding profusely, and he was whirlwinded through the air, he did not let go.
Ye Liuyun always remained near the sword’s hilt while suspended in mid-air, out of the sword’s detecting range.
"Bring on more!"
Noticing the Fairy Clan was soon failing, he instantly brought over a few more captives, assigning them to take turns grabbing the sword.
The struggle with the martial practitioners increasingly drained the sword’s energy.
From the fading golden radiance emitted from the Token in his consciousness, Ye Liuyun could perceive the power alterations of the sword.
Without control from the three elders, it temporarily became an ownerless object. Yet it only acknowledged the Fairy Clan; thus, it did not strike any of them. It merely tried to break away, disdaining their low strength and rebelling against their control.
"When the sword’s energy runs out, you can use your clone’s dark light to obliterate the divine soul in the sword, so it can be yours! It’s an Immortal Level, Fairy Clan exclusive weapon. You can give it to that Fairy wife of yours!"
Shortly following, the sword was drained of energy and ceased moving erratically, finally being under control by the martial practitioners.
"Don’t rush! Let them refine it!"
Hence, Ye Liuyun had the captives continue their refinement efforts on the sword.
Suddenly, the sword started acting against its will again.
After several back and forth struggles, the sword finally stopped responding while it was being refined. Only then did the Book Demon permit Ye Liuyun to take action.
"Stand behind the hilt, and beware of its last bit of energy potentially initiating an attack."
Hence, he brought out his clone to eliminate the divine soul within the sword using his dark light.
"Ahh!"
The soul let out a sigh before it was annihilated by the black light.
Once it was exterminated, it immediately aimed at the clone, intending to stab him.
However, Ye Liuyun firmly grabbed it at the hilt of the sword and held onto it until its last bit of power was exhausted. Only then did he collect it into his Interspatial Ring.
He didn’t even dare to put this sword into his spatial world, afraid that it would cause trouble within.
At that time, Ye Liuyun let out a sigh of relief, "Finally, it’s over!"
For the rest of the matters, he didn’t intervene anymore. Jing Yong, with the remaining martial army, controlled the rest of the Fairy Clan, allowing Ye Liuyun to enslave them all.
He gave all the men to Jing Yong.
They had lost quite a few martial practitioners in this battle. Making use of the captives from the Fairy Clan was the perfect replenishment. Ye Liuyun had no plans to return these people to them.
Ye Liuyun asked Jing Yong to lead the remaining people back to recuperate.
At this point, the defenses of the royal palaces and cities were all extinguished, and the people of the entire city collectively cheered to celebrate their victory.
After Jing Yong returned to the royal palace, the martial practitioners and soul cultivators of ninth realm in the palace immediately rushed out of the city to reunite with Ye Liuyun.
"There are still so many!" The citizens in the city burst into enthusiastic cheers again.
They never thought that the Eastcloud Dynasty was so powerful and had so many experts.
Ye Liuyun didn’t return to the royal palace. Instead, he gathered these people straight into his spatial world, and used the power of Spatial Folding to head towards the Fairy Clan to attack.
The Clan had attacked him when he was weak. Now it was their time of weakness, and he, naturally, would not be courteous to them.
The news of his victory quickly spread throughout the Eastern Region.
"Fairy Clan defeated! Their strongest line-up was annihilated, the Sacred Sword was taken!"
Everyone in the Eastern Dynasty was also stunned by Ye Liuyun’s strength.
The line-up of the Fairy Clan, even if the Dragon Clan and Beast Mountain could withstand, would pay a significant price.
But Ye Liuyun not only annihilated these elders but also immediately led another one hundred and fifty more experts to begin a counter-offensive against the Fairy Clan.
This level of strength completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.
"How did he cultivate so many ninth-realms?"
The citizens all thought that these martial practitioners were power amassed over many years by Ye Liuyun in secret. Everyone admired his strategy of keeping a low profile.
Northsky Sect also shared the glory, glad that they had always stood with Ye Liuyun.
"Isn’t my student quite capable?" Jin Qingsong boasted wherever he went.
