Chapter 1468: Cutting Off Their Retreat
Peerless Medicine God · 第1468章 断其后路
"Hey, your strength is indeed not bad, at least it won't make me too bored! Now, I can send you on your way."
Ye Yuan's voice rang out faintly, sounding the death knell for this century of soldiers.
Ye Yuan's figure blurred, and they couldn't even track his movements!
Too fast!
Having broken through to the mid-stage of Insight Heaven, Ye Yuan's strength surged dramatically.
Those demon soldiers who could barely put up a fight were now utterly vulnerable.
The centurion's face was full of terror; he abandoned his men and fled into the distance.
"Heh, think you can escape?"
Ye Yuan sneered, his figure turning into a wisp of smoke. The centurion didn't even have time to scream before being slain.
The rest scattered in all directions, but Ye Yuan gave them no chance. His sword moved like the wind, quickly wiping out the entire century.
Just then, a flying boat slowly approached.
On the boat, someone witnessed Ye Yuan annihilating the century and shouted, "What are you doing! Human, you seek death!"
The newcomer exuded a powerful aura, a demon stronghold at the Return to Void realm, likely a high-ranking officer.
Ye Yuan looked at him from afar, a mocking smile flickering at the corner of his mouth. "Seeking death... is you!"
Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone on the flying boat, Ye Yuan suddenly took a step forward.
Ye Yuan was now standing at the edge of the cliff; one more step and he would fall into the chasm.
"What is he doing? Does he know he can't escape and wants to commit suicide?"
"Is this human an idiot? He's going to jump off the cliff!"
"Ah, my heart is pounding just watching—he's falling! Falling!"
...
However, things didn't go as they imagined.
Ye Yuan's step landed firmly, as if on solid ground!
Thus, Ye Yuan walked through the air.
All the demon soldiers' eyes bulged as they stared in disbelief.
This man could actually walk on air?
What a joke!
Under such a terrifying gravitational field, someone could actually walk on air!
"No! He... what is he going to do?"
The Return to Void general suddenly snapped awake, realizing this was no time for shock.
Ye Yuan was walking through the air—what exactly was he planning?
"Kill him! Don't let him near the flying boat! Whatever you do, don't let him near the flying boat!"
The Return to Void general's voice was filled with desperation and fear!
He struck out with all his might, sending a palm strike toward Ye Yuan from a distance.
A palm strike from a Return to Void cultivator was naturally terrifyingly powerful.
"Swoosh!"
Ye Yuan's figure suddenly dropped, dodging the strike.
"Where is he? Where did he go?"
"Could he have... fallen to his death?"
"Hahaha... Lord Likong is mighty! That brat wanted to cause trouble—now let's see how he does it!"
"Creak..."
Before the words faded, the flying boat shuddered violently, tilting slightly, causing all the demons to stumble.
"Wh... what's happening? Why is the boat tilting?"
"Damn it! It's that human brat! He... he wants to flip the boat!"
"Impossible! This boat is made of dark gold heavy iron; even a Return to Void stronghold can't push it. How can a mere Insight Heaven cultivator flip it?"
"He... help! I... I don't want to die yet!"
...
The flying boat was filled with desperate screams.
For these demon soldiers, it was like the end of the world.
On the side, where the demons couldn't see, Ye Yuan's body radiated streaks of golden light, and a force field poured out.
The heavy flying boat tilted even more.
"Ha!"
Ye Yuan shouted, pushing with all his might, tilting the boat to a ninety-degree angle.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Screams rang out as demon soldiers shrieked wildly.
As the boat tilted, the terrifying gravitational field pulled the demon soldiers into the abyss.
No matter how they screamed, it was useless.
Even the Return to Void general quickly fell into the abyss and disappeared.
Ye Yuan stood on the flying boat, watching coldly.
Above this chasm, Ye Yuan was like a fish in water, while these demon soldiers were like fish out of water.
No matter how high their cultivation or how strong their strength, they could only drown.
Ye Yuan waited patiently, and soon another flying boat appeared.
The two banks were extremely far apart; even a Divine Path cultivator couldn't see the other side.
These flying boats were crudely made, only capable of one-way trips, then returning via formation, with poor mobility.
Once intercepted mid-air, they were lambs to the slaughter.
These boats had a very narrow use; without the powerful gravitational field, they were useless.
Moreover, the demons had rushed them into battle without fine-tuning.
Thus, Ye Yuan took advantage.
Ye Yuan waited by the shore, and in half a day, he flipped five flying boats.
Among them were three Return to Void experts.
Once they boarded the boat, they were lambs to the slaughter, powerless to resist.
Once the boat tilted, the terrifying gravitational field would drag them into the abyss!
...
Xiulie's face was ashen, and he was visibly agitated.
"What are they doing? Why haven't the rear forces arrived?" Xiulie roared in the dense forest.
Ahead was the north gate of Xiyu City; they had been lurking in the forest, waiting to attack.
But as expected, Xiyu City had strengthened the north gate's defenses.
Just then, a soldier rushed over and knelt before Xiulie. "My lord, Centurion Tonghuai's century has vanished. I waited long at the cliff, but not a single flying boat came over!"
"What did you say!" Xiulie's face changed dramatically as he shouted.
Not only Xiulie, but the generals beside him also turned pale.
This news was a thunderbolt to them.
Without the flying boats, they were an isolated force.
Although they could bypass through the jungle, this dense forest was unsuitable for large-scale troop movement.
The forest was full of powerful beasts; if they stirred up a beast tide, none of them would escape.
Thus, while Ling Feng's patrols occasionally encountered small demon squads, large-scale marching was impossible.
"The two spies are dead. Could there be other human strongholds nearby? Impossible! We searched a fifty-mile radius and found no one else. Who did this? Even if Tonghuai encountered a Return to Void expert, not one of them could have escaped?"
Xiulie racked his brain but couldn't figure out what had happened.
