Chapter 2836: Chapter 2836
Liao Tianyang took the initiative, suddenly accelerated, and charged towards the martial artist in the Unity Realm.
That martial artist immediately sensed the murderous intent, soared into the air, and intercepted Liao Tianyang in mid-air, clearly not wanting Ye Liuyun and the others to interrupt their robbery.
The martial artist and Liao Tianyang were evenly matched in strength, fighting to a stalemate. A clone then moved Heishan next to the martial artist, having Heishan join in to capture the martial artist together.
Ye Liuyun and the others directly rushed over the city, first throwing down the Demon Vine.
"Keep an eye on those robbers for us, let them through little by little. We need practice!" Ye Liuyun instructed the Demon Vine, and then charged towards a bandit of the Sovereign Seventh Layer. The others also went in search of their own opponents.
The Demon Vine first burrowed underground and then extended numerous tendrils to encircle the robbers.
Seeing the number of people, White Tiger released the White Tiger Legion to practice together.
Chi Lian transformed into a human form, specifically hiding outside the Demon Vine, absorbing the robbers encircled by the vine.
The martial artist in the Unity Realm, seeing that there was also a Unity Realm Demon Vine on Ye Liuyun’s side, realized he was no match and turned to escape into the starry sky.
"Chase him down, we must eliminate him!" Ye Liuyun decisively instructed Heishan and Liao Tianyang.
The two of them pursued from both sides, flanking the martial artist as they chased.
Both were equipped with storage yuan stones, which meant their combat endurance would be far superior to that of the martial artist. Additionally, their strengths were comparable, so the martial artist was bound to exhaust himself before long.
Seeing that several masters were using spatial powers to give chase in space, Ye Liuyun felt reassured and focused on defeating the robbers on the ground.
After capturing a few for soul-searching, he discovered that the robbers came from a galaxy with numerous Unity Realm martial artists. Recently, a martial artist there had broken through to the second layer of the Unity Realm, fearing that other strong Unity Realm individuals would surpass him, and thus began targeting them.
Originally, over a hundred people had fled with that Unity Realm martial artist. Since then, they had been robbing, expanding their ranks, and gathering resources along the way, growing to more than a thousand strong.
However, when they leave this place, they won’t take all thousand people with them. Those with weaker cultivation levels will be killed, as they only recruit Martial Arts Practitioners at the late Dominator Realm. Those in the Dominator Realm at the sixth level and below were merely used and fooled by them.
"These bandits are notorious for their evil deeds; you don’t have to hold back, be sure to kill them all!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t care whether these bandits were brought here by that powerful person or summoned later; either way, these people were guilty of all kinds of misdeeds, and Ye Liuyun had no intention of sparing them.
Everyone happily began to kill. After finishing one group, the demon vine released another. Eventually, there were fewer and fewer people left around Ye Liuyun. All of them had exhausted their true essence and went back to cultivate, preparing for breakthroughs.
The black tiger, however, became more and more fierce in battle, replenishing its true essence by defeating opponents and devouring their Origin Pills. Its murderous momentum was quite reminiscent of the white tiger.
Using his golden eyes, Ye Liuyun observed its Origin Pill and true essence and found that it was indeed quite close to reaching the Unity Realm. At that moment, he decided to nurture it well.
In the subsequent battles, Ye Liuyun helped the black tiger devour the souls of several strong Martial Arts Practitioners, allowing it to first enhance its soul power.
The remaining people continued to fight incessantly until, when only some bandits were left and everyone was too exhausted to fight any longer, Ye Liuyun helped them by devouring the bandits’ souls.
Chi Lian also absorbed enough power of bloodline. This time, Ye Liuyun instructed her to distribute the excess power of bloodline to the black tiger.
The black tiger was pleasantly surprised, not expecting that Ye Liuyun would not only enhance its soul power but also its power of bloodline.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun fulfilled its wish for revenge against the ferocious beasts, ensuring not a single bandit was left alive, leaving only the strongest Martial Arts Practitioner at the Unity Realm.
After the battle ended, Ye Liuyun absorbed everyone into his spatial world, retreated outside the city with the black tiger, and waited for Heishan and Liao Tianyang to return. From the slave marks of Liao Tianyang and Heishan, he knew that the Martial Arts Practitioner had already exhausted his true essence and was unable to escape, and Heishan and Liao Tianyang would soon eliminate him.
However, to Ye Liuyun’s surprise, seeing that they were all battle-weary and unprotected, some Martial Arts Practitioners in the city organized over two hundred expert to surround Ye Liuyun.
They had no idea that the Unity Realm Martial Arts Practitioner had been driven away by Ye Liuyun and his group. They also couldn’t discern the demon vine’s realm and merely thought it was a special plant.
"What do you mean by this?" Ye Liuyun asked them in bewilderment.
"You hand over the resources those bandits stole from us, and we’ll spare you!" an elder led the demand.
Ye Liuyun was shocked, his mouth agape, and asked with a bitter smile, "I saved you all, and not only do you not thank me, but now you want to rob me?"
A young man beside the elder retorted, "Those resources were originally ours. You don’t need to worry; we won’t take more than what’s ours!"
"Ha, returning evil for good?" Ye Liuyun chuckled lightly and asked, "What if I refuse to hand them over?"
"Why do this! You all have already fought to exhaustion. Don’t lose your lives over some resources!" The elder pretended to persuade Ye Liuyun with good intentions.
Black Tiger, unable to bear it any longer, growled lowly, baring its teeth at these people, its battle intent rising.
Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly, "These people are worse than beasts. No wonder Liao Tianyang said that after human martial cultivators train to the Unity Realm, it’s the hardest to progress. It’s probably because of the complexities of the human heart!"
He gently patted Black Tiger, comforting it, "You’re tired from the fighting, take a break."
The elder thought Ye Liuyun was about to concede and nodded with a smile.
But Ye Liuyun suddenly waved his hand, releasing the Demon Vine from his Interspatial Ring. As soon as the Demon Vine emerged, it unleashed the pressure of the Unity Realm and surrounded those martial cultivators with its tendrils.
Only then did these martial cultivators realize that Ye Liuyun had a strong ally, and it was an unusual beast at the Unity Realm.
The leading elder immediately apologized to Ye Liuyun, even offering resources to show goodwill!
"Too late!"
Ye Liuyun did not merely have the Demon Vine encircle these powerful figures; he also immediately released an army of a hundred thousand demons to surround the city, then issued a single command.
"Massacre the city!"
He wanted to make these martial artists regret to the point of despair, forcing them to watch their kin inside the city being slaughtered before their eyes.
"Roar!" All the demon soldiers let out a fierce battle cry and charged excitedly into the city.
"No, please! We realize we were wrong!"
"It was all because of our greed, and we accept the punishment! Please have mercy, young master!"
"The people in the city are innocent; if you want to kill, kill us instead!"
These martial artists pleaded with Ye Liuyun, speaking over each other. The city was full of their kin and family, and they hadn’t anticipated that their greed would bring such catastrophic disaster upon everyone in the city.
