Chapter 2795: Chapter 2795
After returning, Piao Yun immediately consumed the Vital Waters, and her injuries were no longer a serious concern.
Ye Liuyun simply told her that the bandit was being kept for her, so she could devise her own strategy to deal with him later. He didn’t even point out her weaknesses, leaving her to figure them out herself.
The others also took turns sparring, with the stronger ones even choosing their own opponents without needing Ye Liuyun’s assistance.
They fought with deadly seriousness, disregarding injuries as if their lives depended on it. The bandits, too, gave it their all, pulling out every trick they had—some even burning their Yuan Dan in desperation.
For them, losing meant certain death, while winning at least bought temporary safety.
Ye Liuyun held back until they reached the sixth level of the Dominator Realm, where he and his doppelganger finally stepped in. Even then, they only won by exhausting their opponents’ energy reserves. Like the others, he spared his defeated foes, letting them stand aside as if the fights had ended in draws.
"If they lost and got to live, what about me? If I lose, can I walk away too?"
One bandit, singled out by Lei Ming, nervously asked Ye Liuyun before the fight, hoping for the same leniency as the two martial artists.
"If you lose, you die," Ye Liuyun stated flatly.
"Why?" The bandit protested indignantly.
Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but laugh at the question.
"No reason. My rules, my call."
Lei Ming snapped impatiently, "Quit whining! Beat me, and you’re free. Lose, and I’ll rip you apart!"
Without waiting for a response, she lunged at him.
The bandit, one realm higher than Lei Ming, met her palm strike head-on.
"Roar!"
With a thunderous bellow, Lei Ming was forced to reveal her true form. Yet her physique was incredibly sturdy—she emerged unscathed and immediately lunged at the bandit, swiping with her massive claws.
"Another demon beast! And a monstrous one at that!" The bandit’s heart skipped a beat.
He had already witnessed the White Tiger, the Stone Ape, and Xiao Lanbing transform and fight in their true forms earlier.
Lei Ming’s claws lashed out in rapid succession before she abruptly lowered her head, unleashing a bolt of lightning from the horn atop her skull. The strike sent the bandit’s hair standing on end. Without pause, she followed up with another brutal swipe, her relentless assault never letting up. Her golden eyes could clearly track the flow of her opponent’s spiritual energy, and combined with the innate suppression of her bloodline, she quickly gained the upper hand in their fierce exchange.
Soon, the bandit’s energy reserves faltered, and with one final powerful strike, Lei Ming sent him flying. He crashed to the ground, unable to rise.
But her golden pupils detected it—he was secretly drawing power from his spatial realm, gathering strength for a fatal counterattack.
Lei Ming didn’t fall for the trap. Instead, she bombarded him with continuous lightning strikes until his body was charred and his borrowed energy dissipated.
The bandit immediately begged for mercy, but Lei Ming showed no hesitation. She pounced, her claws tearing through him with a single brutal motion, splitting his body in two.
Yet after this battle, Lei Ming didn’t press further. The fight had drained her—this opponent had been one of the stronger Sixth-Level Sovereigns.
The weaker Sixth-Level Sovereigns had already been dealt with by Wu Qingcheng, Su Miaoyin, the White Tiger, and the Stone Ape.
Then, the Dragon Girl stepped forward, ready to challenge the last two remaining Sixth-Level Sovereign bandits.
"Wait," Ye Liuyun suddenly interjected. "You two—fight her together. Step forward now!"
He called out two Fifth-Level Sovereign bandits instead.
He even assigned a slightly weaker bandit at the seventh level of Dominance to oversee the fight: "If those two at the sixth level can’t handle it, you step in!"
Ye Liuyun had just arranged five opponents for the Dragon Maiden in one go.
The Dragon Maiden immediately understood—Ye Liuyun was giving her the perfect opportunity to practice her Rampaging Dragon Combat Technique.
Seizing the moment, she revealed her true draconic form without hesitation.
"A real dragon?!" The bandits were stunned.
Truth be told, they had already been shocked once when they saw the White Tiger earlier. But a true dragon? That was a legendary divine beast, something they had only heard of in myths.
As for the Thunder Dragon Beast, they didn’t recognize it, mistaking it for just another magical beast and paying it little mind.
The two bandits at the fifth level of Dominance who had been called out knew that Ye Liuyun and his companions were no ordinary fighters—they often challenged opponents beyond their own realms, each one formidable. Now, they were being asked to take on two at once? This was no small matter.
Not daring to hold back, the two bandits attacked with everything they had, hoping to overwhelm the Dragon Maiden in one swift strike.
But with her Rampaging Dragon bloodline fully awakened, their blows barely registered against her scales. With a deafening roar, the Dragon Maiden sent the two warriors staggering backward.
*Whoosh!* Her massive tail lashed out like a whip, aiming straight for them.
"Block it!" one bandit shouted, and the two joined forces to intercept the tail strike.
Without missing a beat, the Dragon Maiden twisted her body and swung her tail from the opposite side.
"Again!"
The two warriors braced themselves, but as the Dragon Maiden’s draconic fury surged, her strength only grew. This time, their combined effort wasn’t enough—her tail smashed through their defense, sending them flying.
Still, they weren’t seriously injured and quickly regained their footing, ready to fight on.
With another earth-shaking roar, the Dragon Maiden’s claws descended upon them like falling boulders.
"Give it everything you’ve got!" one of the martial cultivators bellowed. The two of them unleashed their full power simultaneously, their attacks converging toward the dragon’s claw.
"ROAR!"
The dragon girl let out a piercing shriek in response, her eyes blazing with fury as she recklessly swiped her massive claw at them.
This time, the two bandits had poured every ounce of their spiritual energy into the assault. Yet the dragon girl’s overwhelming strength allowed her to power straight through their combined strikes—her claw crushing their bodies instantly in a gruesome explosion of gore.
Though her own claw suffered minor injuries, she felt no pain whatsoever. Without hesitation, she lunged toward the two remaining bandits, both at the sixth level of Dominance Realm.
Reacting swiftly, the bandits split their tactics—one feinted to distract her while the other aimed a vicious strike at her serpentine body.
The dragon girl twisted midair, deflecting the attacker’s blow with her claw before whipping her massive tail toward the other martial artist.
Outmatched in cultivation level against two Dominance Realm experts, she inevitably took several brutal punches to her scaled torso within moments.
Yet her draconic physique was naturally resilient, and with pain completely numbed, each hit only fueled her battle frenzy. Gradually, the two sixth-level Dominance cultivators found themselves struggling to withstand her relentless assault.
Her eyes now glowed crimson, attacks growing increasingly savage. After sending one cultivator flying with a whip-like tail strike, she rained down a flurry of claw swipes upon the other.
Though the martial artist countered desperately, he finally faltered—the last claw strike reducing him to a bloody mist. Without pause, the dragon girl pivoted, driving her razor-sharp horn into the returning bandit’s chest, sending him hurtling backward. A follow-up tail whip knocked him unconscious before she swooped in for the killing blow, her claws tearing through flesh and bone with terrifying finality.
