Chapter 1688: Chapter 1688 Fight against the Corpse Demons
Ye Liuyun and his clone had, by now, put on their armor.
Against such a large number of Corpse Demons at the Sacred Majesty realm, they had to make adequate defenses. Otherwise, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
Just as expected, the Corpse Demons led with a barrage of attacks against them.
They continuously evaded while retaliating, using the power of space to dash into the midst of the Corpse Demons. They kept moving to avoid being overwhelmed by their group attack.
Ye Liuyun’s Demon Slayer blade proved to have the most significant effect on the Corpse Demons. His clone who was using the power of the Buddha’s halo also fought admirably.
Of course, both of them didn’t escape unscathed. If not for wearing armor, they would have fallen to the ground after a while.
The martial practitioners who hadn’t reached the scene were dealing with the Corpse Demons that emerged. They couldn’t possibly arrive in such a short time.
The truly formidable Corpse Demons were all targeted by Ye Liuyun. The Corpse Demons outside were only used to lure the enemies and were not high-ranking or powerful.
But since they had some distance to cover from here and had to stop in between to eliminate the Corpse Demons and retrieve their virtuoso, they naturally wouldn’t arrive too fast.
Ye Liuyun and his clone were fighting fiercely. Attacks were coming from all directions and they couldn’t block them all.
They were merely depending on their armors to resist the attacks and were channelling all their attention into killing the Corpse Demons, slashing one after another. The Qiankun Palm was also continuously thrown out, smashing the Corpse Demons.
After a while, a large batch of Corpse Demons was annihilated.
However, the armors of Ye Liuyun and his clone were continuously under attack, showing signs of crumbling.
"Crack!"
The armor on Ye Liuyun was the first to emit a cracking sound.
Ye Liuyun and his companion could no longer care about their armors, whatever they could use to fend off the attacks would do. All that was left now was for them to fight constantly.
They both began to fight while retreating, trying their best to move closer to the martial practitioners. However, progression was not very quick because the Corpse Demons constantly impeded their movement.
"How much longer till we get there? The armor is falling apart!" Ye Liuyun urged Qiong Qi.
"Just hold on a little longer, we’re almost there! If it’s too tough, protect yourself with the Formation plate!" Qiong Qi was also rushing desperately.
He knew how tough the armor he created himself was. The fact that Ye Liuyun’s armor couldn’t hold up despite only being in a fight for such a short span showed how fierce their attacks were!
"Let’s not use the Formation plate yet, just hold on a little longer!"
Ye Liuyun and his clone were encouraging each other, trying their best not to rely on external forces.
"Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang..."
Countless attacks fell on the two of them continuously. The armor on their bodies, especially on their chest, back, and shoulder areas were already falling apart from the onslaught.
Seeing this, Ye Liuyun knew that they couldn’t hold on any longer and immediately threw out the Formation plate.
"Switch to bows and arrows!" At the same time, he shouted to his clone.
Both of them pulled out the Zenith Archer and Doombringer Bow, shooting arrows from within the Formation plate.
However, the Formation plate couldn’t handle the attacks from all the Corpse Demons and quickly fell apart.
Ye Liuyun promptly set up seven to eight more Formation plates and did his best to block more attacks.
He and his clone kept firing their bows, using Hyper Hop to transfer the Storage Stone back and forth in order to replenish their advance energy timely.
When these Formation plates were about to be exhausted, the two took a slight break to replenish their advance energy with Storage Stone and put on their Immortal Level armor again.
As soon as all the Formation plates were broken, the two took up their blades and charged out again.
This time, Ye Liuyun let out his Stone Golems and a few feral beasts at the late-stage of Sacred Majesty.
This was all the combat power around Ye Liuyun. The rest were too weak and would be delivering themselves to death if they were out!
The feral beasts and the Stone Golems used Divine Weapons to resist the attack, decreasing a lot of pressure on Ye Liuyun and his clone. This had at least stopped them from being attacked from both front and back.
Especially the Stone Golems, he swept around with his two long spears and basically blocked all the attacks from Ye Liuyun and his clone’s back.
The speed at which Ye Liuyun and his clone killed the Corpse Demons had also greatly increased. The puff sound of the blade hitting the Corpse Demons and the ring sound of the armors after being hit was all over their ears.
After several late-stage Sacred Majesty feral beasts had come out and killed a few Corpse Demons, they were torn apart by a swarm of Corpse Demons.
In such a concentrated battle of Sacred Majesty powerhouses, without an extremely strong defense, it would be hard to resist attacks from all directions.
Even though they had Divine Weapons, they could only resist attacks from one side and would soon be hit by the Corpse Demons if they were not careful. Their only function was to temporarily divert Corpse Demons past Ye Liuyun.
Only the Stone Golems followed Ye Liuyun’s order, fluttered the two long spears densely without attack, and helped to block Ye Liuyun and his clone’s back. The three of them moved in unison with their backs to each other, which was even more secure.
Ye Liuyun and his clone had long lost count. They couldn’t even check how many Corpse Demons were in front of them.
They only knew to kill the Corpse Demons on sight, to launch palm strikes and blades alternatively. Whenever the genuine energy was about to run out, they would immediately replenish it with the Storage Stone.
Suddenly, Ye Liuyun found that the advance energy in the Storage Stone had been used up.
In order to save the advance energy, Ye Liuyun and his clone could no longer use the Qiankun Palm now, and could only use sword intention and power of Buddha’s halo to interlock with the Corpse Demons.
The two of them didn’t know how many Corpse Demons they had killed. They suddenly realized that the number of Corpse Demons in front of them had decreased, and their onslaught was not as intense.
Their Immortal Level armors had shattered long ago and their bodies had become bruised and bloody under the relentless bashing and scratching of the Corpse Demons.
Just as Ye Liuyun was about to retract his clone and put on the Devil-hunting Armor, he suddenly realized there were no more Corpse Demons in front of him.
In desperation, he turned around planning to assist the Stone Golems in eliminating some opponents from behind only to find that there were no Corpse Demons in front of Stone Golems either. When he turned back, his clone had also finished its fight, slashing the last Corpse Demons in half.
Following that, the clone also turned around and wanted to assist them. He had the exact same expression as that of Ye Liuyun.
It was then that they had a good look around and found Corpse Demons lying haphazardly all around them.
"Did we kill all these?" freёweɓnovel.com
"How long have we been fighting?"
The two asked questions at the same time and both laughed.
Things had been really intense just now, a slip-up could have led to their deaths at the hands of these Corpse Demons. At that moment, everything else was forgotten and they could only fight instinctively.
The Stone Golems had been beaten to pieces, but his vital parts were not injured. He could only wait for Qiong Qi to arrive and heal.
Ye Liuyun then put it away and at the same time, sent the clone back into the Xuankong Stone to cultivate the advance energy. After that, he released the Metal Puppets and let them collect the virtuoso.
He then slumped directly to the ground to catch his breath before pulling out the spiritual stone to absorb and replenish his advance energy.
Not long after he started absorbing, he saw martial practitioners rushing over.
Upon seeing this, Ye Liuyun quickly stood up, worried that these martial practitioners might seize the opportunity to snatch his spoils of war.
