Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263 Keep This A Secret
Foreign race leader’s regret came too late.
He couldn’t fathom how a commander and a powerful figure like himself could be easily killed by a few ordinary soldiers.
Even more frustrating was his failure to take down a single one of them.
Instinctively, he sought revenge before his demise.
However, the two devil cultivators with shields were quick to react, blocking his attack just in time.
Simultaneously, the devil cultivators who had struck him withdrew their spears.
"This tactic is incredibly strong..."
The foreign race leader’s final thoughts were cut short as he lost consciousness.
With the leader gone, chaos ensued among the foreign race army inside the city. They fought independently, one by one falling to Ye Liuyun’s elite troops.
Occasionally, some foreign race members managed to escape the attacks, leading a few Corpse Demons. However, they were intercepted and stopped near the city walls.
No one managed to escape from the city.
"This strength..." Ye Liuyun’s companion, Zuo Mu, looked on in awe, his tongue clicking in amazement.
Ye Liuyun’s troops grew more spirited with each battle, their aura of bloodthirstiness becoming increasingly intense.
Even some of the lower-level Corpse Demons, upon seeing them approach, wailed in despair, not daring to resist, and were mercilessly slaughtered before their eyes.
These soldiers showed no mercy, leaving no one alive.
After half a day, the entire city finally fell silent. The troops were busy cleaning up the battlefield.
Inside the city, there was an eerie quiet, a complete stillness.
It was at this moment that Zuo Mu realized Ye Liuyun’s team had not uttered a single word from beginning to end. They moved in silence, killing efficiently. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Even when wounded, no one made a sound.
The cries within the city came only from the Corpse Demons, the foreign race, and the enemy’s devil cultivators.
Zuo Mu felt a shiver run down his spine.
"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that Ye Liuyun had cultivated such a powerful team!" he thought to himself. He silently resolved to train a team like this too.
However, he couldn’t bear to train his soldiers as harshly as Ye Liuyun did, so he knew he couldn’t achieve the same results.
"I hope you can keep this a secret for me."
Ye Liuyun said, breaking the silence.
Zuo Mu nodded in agreement, understanding that Ye Liuyun meant to keep this team’s existence a secret.
This team could undoubtedly serve as a deadly weapon against the foreign race, delivering a fatal blow at a critical moment. It was crucial not to let the foreign race prepare in advance.
Once Ye Liuyun’s team withdrew, Zuo Mu immediately sent his men to occupy the city. Their goal was to leave their aura there, making it seem like the Devil Clan had conquered the city.
Ye Liuyun’s main attacking force was composed of devil cultivators, making it convenient to cover their tracks.
Without lingering, Ye Liuyun promptly led his team back to their base.
The news of Zuo Mu occupying a city of the foreign race with the Devil Clan was spread among both sides.
Although some leaders of the Great Hsia Dynasty doubted the Devil Clan’s capability, they acknowledged the morale-boosting effect and didn’t pay it much heed.
On the other side, the foreign race was utterly bewildered.
The Devil Clan could do this? Why hadn’t they received a distress call from their military leaders?
Tuo Muhai immediately dispatched a force of two hundred thousand to reclaim the city.
Zuo Mu, knowing his limits, withdrew his forces before the foreign race’s army arrived, leaving the city vacant for them.
Thus, the foreign race never encountered the true strength of the Devil Clan and dared not pull back their entire army. They could only send the two hundred thousand troops to defend the city.
Zuo Mu couldn’t help but chuckle at the situation. He hadn’t expected Ye Liuyun’s strategic moves to effectively tie down the foreign race’s two hundred thousand troops.
Upon returning, Ye Liuyun wasted no time. Together with Qin Peng, he led the team to annihilate a foreign race supply convoy and a hundred thousand troops that had just rotated into defense.
However, there was no suitable city for Ye Liuyun to target next.
However, after that incident, Ye Liuyun sealed away this particular unit. They never appeared on the battlefield again.
In Ye Liuyun’s own army, it was believed that this unit had been completely wiped out during their mission.
Evil Creature remained completely unaware of the existence of this unit. With time, the unit faded into obscurity.
Upon his return, Zuo Mu intensified training efforts. However, after a few attempts resulting in significant casualties, he had no choice but to give up.
The Devil Clan had expended too much energy previously, and their numbers couldn’t support the level of training Ye Liuyun had subjected them to.
At this point, Ye Liuyun had started training a second batch of elite devil cultivators, with Qin Peng overseeing their training.
The new devil cultivator elites often sparred with the foreign race’s large armies.
However, the foreign race did the same, continually honing their own forces through constant battles.
Similar situations unfolded on other battlefields, with both sides continuously training their troops.
Yet, due to limited resources, the foreign race suffered more significant losses. Despite their numerical advantage, the Great Hsia Dynasty’s army couldn’t advance further.
During the stalemate phase, Ye Liuyun found himself with much more free time.
Most of his time was spent cultivating inside the Xuankong Stone.
With abundant resources for his practice and ample time on hand, he decided to break through to the next realm.
He hadn’t used the elixirs he obtained from his victory yet. He continued utilizing his own cultivation resources.
Currently, his plan was to refine his physical body further.
At least being able to endure attacks would prevent him from being at a disadvantage during battles.
Moreover, improving the physical body wasn’t restricted by one’s realm. Progression could happen at any time.
As for the elixir that enhanced the Divine Soul, he didn’t have an immediate need for it. He had been absorbing the power of the Divine Soul recently, so he could afford to wait.
Once he made up his mind, he consumed the elixir meant to enhance his physical quality.
To his surprise, the efficacy of the elixir was incredibly potent. Given his current realm, it was challenging for him to withstand such a powerful effect.
"What grade of elixir is this? It’s so potent! If only I had taken half of it earlier!"
Regret was futile now for Ye Liuyun; the elixir had already taken effect.
Initially, he felt his meridians being slowly crushed and then rebuilt. This process was somewhat similar to the reconstruction of meridians during a breakthrough, something he could endure.
However, the next step involved his bones.
The elixir seemed to melt his bones, penetrating deep inside and restructuring them.
The pain was excruciating, akin to agony that seeped into the bone marrow.
Ye Liuyun endured until the end, relying entirely on the continuous awakening from the Universal God Token to prevent him from losing consciousness.
But the effects of the elixir didn’t stop there. It continued to transform his muscles even before the bone reconstruction was complete.
