Chapter 2882: Chapter 2882
This was the first time Ye Liuyun had ever been mocked like a fool.
Yet, he wasn’t angry. He had merely been testing the attitudes of these so-called noble locals. Now that he knew, he wouldn’t feel the slightest hesitation when the time came to act.
When it came to the rules of the martial world, he understood them far better than these people. And when it came to fighting, he was decisive and ruthless.
Ye Tiandao sent him a mental message: *"Looks like not all the martial cultivators in this star system are fools like Qin Mengxi!"*
Ye Liuyun chuckled in response. *"Exactly. These are the kind of people who ensure their own survival."*
Once the surrounding martial cultivators had laughed their fill, one of them barked at him, "Enough dawdling! Hand over your Interspatial Ring now. We don’t have time to waste on an idiot!"
As he spoke, he unleashed his aura, pressing down on Ye Liuyun and his companions. The man was at the ninth level of the Dominator Realm, confident that his strength alone would be enough to intimidate them.
Ye Liuyun’s smile faded, and his expression turned serious. "If the rule here is that strength speaks, then I’ll play by your rules. But if you want my Interspatial Ring, you’d better have the power to take it."
"Hahaha! This kid—he’s killing me!"
The bandits burst into laughter again, amused by Ye Liuyun’s deadpan defiance. To them, a sixth-level Dominator daring to challenge a ninth-level was sheer arrogance. Every one of them was stronger than him, and their Buddha Light energy could further amplify their combat power. Dealing with him should have been child’s play. They were now convinced this guy was genuinely delusional.
The one who had spoken earlier grinned and kicked a nearby eighth-level Dominator. "Go on, just take his Interspatial Ring. No point reasoning with an idiot—don’t waste our time!"
The eighth-level cultivator nodded eagerly, chuckling as he jogged toward Ye Liuyun, reaching out to snatch the ring directly.
As the man closed in, Ye Liuyun’s lips curled slightly. Then—he struck.
His fist shot forward, infused with profound Yuan energy and the full force of the surrounding natural power. Even before impact, the sheer pressure of the blow made the approaching cultivator’s face pale. There was no time to dodge. In desperation, he threw a punch of his own, hoping to mitigate the damage.
Ye Liuyun’s golden pupils saw everything with perfect clarity. His fists were sheathed in a radiant golden glow, infused with the power of Buddhist light.
However, his opponent’s punch was too hastily thrown, while Ye Liuyun’s strike harnessed the vast energy of heaven and earth. With a thunderous **BOOM**, the martial artist’s body was shattered, flesh and blood scattering in all directions.
The smiles on the faces of the surrounding martial artists froze instantly.
**"Ah! You actually killed him!"** The Ninth-Level Sovereign who had sent the martial artist finally snapped out of his shock and lunged at Ye Liuyun in fury.
**"I won’t just kill him—I’ll kill you too!"**
Ye Liuyun sneered and immediately threw another punch.
His spatial power allowed the strike to appear instantly before the martial artist. This punch was further enhanced by his bloodline strength, condensed advance energy, and the mobilized energy of heaven and earth—all crashing ruthlessly into the man’s chest.
The martial artist barely had time to react, barely managing to muster his True Yuan for defense. Another deafening **BOOM** resounded as Ye Liuyun’s fist blasted a gaping hole through his chest. Eyes wide with disbelief, the man toppled backward, lifeless.
**"Kill them! Stop standing around!"** The leading Unity Realm expert barked, charging at Ye Liuyun.
The other martial artists snapped out of their daze, drawing their weapons and surging forward. Tian Dao Ye brandished his Demon-Slaying Blade, targeting those armed with weapons, while leaving the unarmed ones for Ye Liuyun to handle. With a single swing, he cleaved one opponent in half, immediately drawing the attention of the others.
Li Daoyuan, meanwhile, stood by watching the chaos. As long as no one attacked him, he saw no reason to reveal his true strength.
The Unity Realm expert threw a punch at Ye Liuyun, infused with the power of heaven and earth—a hallmark of his mastery. His True Yuan even carried traces of Buddhist light.
Ye Liuyun met the strike head-on with a full-force punch of his own, eager to test his opponent’s strength.
Another **BOOM** echoed as Ye Liuyun was sent flying. Yet, thanks to his formidable physique, he withstood the devastating force.
**"You hold him off—I’ll deal with the others first!"** Realizing his opponent was too strong, Ye Liuyun immediately signaled Li Daoyuan to intercept the Unity Realm expert while he turned his attention to the weaker foes.
Now aware of his opponents’ capabilities, he began conserving his Mystic Energy, using just the right amount of celestial force to strike them down.
With a series of thunderous explosions, several more martial cultivators were obliterated by Ye Liuyun’s attacks. Ye Tiandao worked even faster—those armed cultivators fell swiftly under her blade, one after another. Once she finished them off, she returned to assist Ye Liuyun.
Meanwhile, the Unity Realm expert clashed with Li Daoyuan and immediately realized his opponent’s cultivation surpassed his own. Forced to exert his full strength, he barely managed to hold his ground by relying on the power of his Buddhist radiance.
After eliminating another martial cultivator, Ye Liuyun swiftly replenished his Mystic Energy using a Spirit Storage Stone and proceeded to dispatch the remaining foes.
Soon, only the Unity Realm expert remained, encircled by the trio.
Earlier, Ye Liuyun had blocked one of his strongest punches—though the expert sensed Ye Liuyun’s power was inferior, his most devastating strike had failed to injure him. Meanwhile, Ye Tiandao’s blade intent clearly posed a threat, and Li Daoyuan’s attacks were even deadlier.
Facing three opponents at once, the expert panicked. In desperation, he unleashed his divine soul, sending it hurtling toward Ye Liuyun’s consciousness sea.
He didn’t dare attack Li Daoyuan’s consciousness—his cultivation was too formidable. And since Ye Tiandao seemed to be Ye Liuyun’s attendant, he decided to target the latter first.
But the moment his divine soul entered Ye Liuyun’s consciousness, it was instantly enveloped in the golden radiance of the Ten Thousand Gods Decree.
Ye Liuyun sighed. "No chance to use you for practice, then." With no other choice, he planted a slave seal on the martial cultivator and probed his memories.
Li Daoyuan and Ye Tiandao immediately ceased their attacks and turned to looting the battlefield.
These martial cultivators all belonged to the same powerful clan—the Wan Family. The captive, Wan Congshan, was even a core disciple of their main bloodline.
The Wan Family’s influence far surpassed that of the Qin Family, dominating an entire planet. In fact, within the entire Demon-Expelling Star System, they stood among the most elite factions.
The four great families—Wan, Tang, Zhou, and An—collectively controlled nearly eighty percent of the star system’s planets. Even the planet where the Qin Family resided fell under Wan’s dominion.
The Wan Family was acutely aware of the brutal realities and unwritten rules of the martial world. They had long been dispatching disciples to uninhabited planets for training and had even allied with other major powers to form an expeditionary force, plundering resources from other star systems.
From Wan Congshan’s memories, Ye Liuyun noted that the Wan elders had mentioned their expeditionary force was currently assaulting a demonic star system known as the Nether King’s Dominion.
"The Nether King’s Dominion? And demons?"
Ye Liuyun’s interest was instantly piqued.
