The two people quickly clashed together!
Elder Zhu was also at the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm. It was just that he had clearly entered the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm not long ago and was slightly worse compared to Mei Zhen and Wu Zhao.
Of course, it was clearly not very possible for Mei Zhen to want to take down Elder Zhu in a short period of time.
But right at this moment, miserable wails from some Heavenly Sky Sect disciples whose strength were somewhat lacking sounded out unceasingly.
Chi!
A sword from a sword puppet pierced right through a Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciples!
"AHH!"
That disciple cried out miserably and looked like he would not make it.
All the way until he died, he still looked at that sword puppet unbelievably. He probably never imagined that he would die at the hands of a puppet, right?
The sword puppet had a frosty look the same as before because it was impossible for them to have any kind of expression.
Throwing down a cold corpse, its long sword waved once more, slashing towards the others!
Lu Linfeng's Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation was unbelievably profound. Human wave attacks were simply ineffective.
After these Heavenly Sky Sect disciples entered the formation, apart from diverting some attacks, they were actually not very useful to Wu Zhao.
With the first, there was a second!
Very soon, another Heavenly Sky Sect disciple was killed by the sword puppets!
For some time, miserably cries lingered on their ears!
But right at this moment, an anomaly suddenly arose!
A phantom flitted over from the grand array's side. Its target was shockingly Ye Yuan!
Mo Yuntian was taken by surprise, but it was already too late to try and rescue!
"Careful, Ye Yuan!" Mo Yuntian cried out.
325 Convinced Through Fighting! |
This afterimage's speed was exceedingly quick. It was actually a Sea Transformation Realm expert!
In this place, apart from Wu Zhao, Mei Zhen, Zhao Yuyang, and Elder Zhu, there was still one other Sea Transformation Realm expert!
Yu Feng!
Currently, Mei Zhen was held back by Elder Zhu. There was nobody else who could hinder the footsteps of Yu Feng assassinating Ye Yuan!
Although Yu Feng was the weakest one among the Sea Transformation Realms present, he was still one of the important experts there.
With the speed of a Sea Transformation Realm expert, no Crystal Formation Realm experts could not catch up even if they tried their best!
A hint of ridicule flashed past the corner of Yu Feng's mouth. He gave a low cry, "Ye Yuan, you didn't think that you'd die at my hands, right?! High Clarity Imperial Reverence Law, Thunderous Nine Heavens! Go and die!"
Yu Feng formed seals with both hands. Several streaks of lightning power surged towards Ye Yuan with extreme speed!
Honestly, among so many people, Yu Feng's hatred towards Ye Yuan was the deepest.
Including him swallowing humiliation and taking on a heavy burden to ally with the Heavenly Sky Sect later on, as well as having Wu Zhao burning down the bridge after crossing the river, Yu Feng finally concentrated all of that resentment onto Ye Yuan!
The way he saw it, if there weren't any actions from Ye Yuan previously, he would not have needed to endure such humiliation.
Hence, the instant the Tranquil Cloud Sect and Heavenly Sky Sect's conflict erupted, he had been planning on how to ambush Ye Yuan!
And now, he finally got the chance!
Mo Yuntian and the rest all shut their eyes painfully. The full power attack of a Sea Transformation Realm, how could Ye Yuan evade it?
Ye Yuan was currently thoroughly absorbed in manipulating the 18 sword puppets right now and seemed to be completely oblivious to this.
His brows just furrowed slightly, then he continued operating the array formation as per normal.
Yu Feng was very confident in his own deadly strike!
Those streaks of lightning surged towards Ye Yuan, carrying an aura that made people feel asphyxiated. It arrived in front of Ye Yuan in virtually a blink of an eye.
Just when everyone thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure, a scene which horrified everybody happened!
Those powerful to the extreme lightning actually vanished around two feet away in front of Ye Yuan, as if it was swallowed up by something!
And Ye Yuan was still standing there perfectly well.
Yu Feng watched this scene dumbfoundedly as he muttered, "H-How is this possible? He clearly didn't do anything at all. How can my Thunderous Nine Heavens be swallowed up? No way! Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Yu Feng's murmuring became roars, then he flung caution to the winds and amassed heaven and earth essence energy!
"High Clarity Imperial Reverence Law! Thunderous Nine Heavens!"
Yu Feng wanted to unleash this powerful attack once more.
However . . .
Rumble!
Yu Feng's body flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Everyone was stunned speechless once again!
"This . . . What in the world happened?"
"Too inconceivable! Did you see that just now? Yu Feng's Thunderous Nine Heavens didn't disappear, but appeared somehow from the void behind him and slammed directly onto him!"
"You got to be shitting me, right? Yu Feng used the Thunderous Nine Heavens to cripple himself? This . . . What the hell is this called?!"
"Yeah, I also feel like this is a joke! But that lightning power that appeared behind Yu Feng just now was clearly his own Thunderous Nine Heavens!"
That scene earlier seriously looked rather ludicrous in everyone's eyes. But it genuinely happened in front of them.
Yu Feng suffered his own full-power attack while completely defenseless, heavily injuring himself!
He coughed out a large mouthful of blood in mid-air, then fell onto the ground and was out cold.
His ambush was out of everybody's expectations and was also unbelievably swift and fierce. But nobody could have thought that it would actually be such a conclusion!
Everyone used revering and fearful eyes to look at Ye Yuan, thinking that it was Ye Yuan's means.
But the most crucial thing was that they completely could not tell that Ye Yuan had any essence energy undulations that targeted Yu Feng!
Therefore, Ye Yuan become mysterious and powerful in their eyes. Nobody treated Ye Yuan like an ordinary Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm anymore.
Ye Yuan was currently controlling the 18 sword puppets with all his strength and simply could not care less about Yu Feng's matter.
Within the array formation, tragic cries filled the air. There were already four or five Heavenly Sky Sect disciples who were slightly weaker that died under the swords of the sword puppets.
The more Wu Zhao fought, the more alarmed he became. He seriously could not figure out how a pair of late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets could be powerful to such an extent!
Listening to the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples' shrieks and wails, Wu Zhao's heart was dripping blood.
Having entered the mystic realm for over half a month's time, the men that their Heavenly Sky Sect lost were not even as many as this short while!
If this continued, the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples would be slaughtered one by one by Ye Yuan!
"You guys aren't a match for these puppets! Quickly go out!" Wu Zhao bellowed.
"Elder Wu, not that we don't want to leave, but we totally cannot go out at all! Ah!" As that disciple was talking, he was stabbed by a sword puppet.
"Elder Wu, I feel that the surroundings are all puppets, all sword shadows. We simply can't find the way out!"
"Elder Wu, quickly save us!"
This was the formidable aspect of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!
The number of puppets was clearly about the same as the Heavenly
Sky Sect disciples. But each one of them would feel like there were many sword puppets surrounding them and beating them!
This included Wu Zhao himself!
All of the attacks interlocked, simply without any weak point to talk about. Those who did not know this array formation only had the outcome of being slowly ground to death by the sword puppets!
Wu Zhao had already thoroughly crumbled. He originally thought that he could knead the Tranquil Cloud Sect as he pleased since he could unleash all of his strength.
But who would thought that he did not succeed in kneading a single one from the Tranquil Cloud Sect, but now, was being kneaded to an inch of his life by Ye Yuan!
Another disciple fell in front of Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao could not bear it any longer.
"Ye Yuan, stop!" Wu Zhao yelled out.
Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, "You say fight, and we fight; you say stop, and I have to stop? How can something so good be true?"
Wu Zhao completely had no temper as he hurriedly said, "Martial Nephew Ye, I, Wu Zhao, admits my fault to you, alright? As long as you're willing to stop, any condition can be arranged!"
"You're the one who said it!" Ye Yuan said.
Seeing that Ye Yuan had signs of easing up, Wu Zhao hastily said, "I said it, I said it! Quickly stop, quickly stop!"
Ye Yuan's divine sense stirred and the 18 sword puppets kept their sword potential and withdrew back to Ye Yuan's side respectively.
He was not worried about Wu Zhao going back on his words. If he reneged, then even if Wu Zhao could escape, the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples could not run!
When the sword puppets retreated, those Heavenly Sky Sect disciples' pressure immediately vanished, making them feel like collapsing!
These remaining disciples were all elites among elites. Their strength among Crystal Formation Realms were very formidable.
But facing the sword puppets, they did not even have the leeway to retaliate.
Looking at their bodies again, the vast majority of them had injuries. Some people's clothes were already shredded into ribbons, looking just like a beggar.
There was no Tier 9 formation master like Ye Yuan among these people. When they faced the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, they could only deal with it passively.
Previously, if not for Ye Yuan, the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples' outcome would unequivocally be even more tragic than the current Heavenly Sky Sect!
Wu Zhao's expression was very ugly. His gaze when looking towards Ye Yuan actually carried a trace of fear.
A puny Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist actually took on the entire Heavenly Sky Sect with his own strength!
Breathing in deeply, Wu Zhao went forward and said, "Ye Yuan, state your terms!"
326 Massive Hemorrhage! |
Inside the void, two stunningly beautiful figures stood there. They were precisely Li-er and Yan-er, master and servant.
"Miss, you couldn't resist making a move in the end," Yan-er said with a half-hearted smile.
"That was a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist after all. Or perhaps I did something unnecessary," Li-er replied coolly.
"What? You mean that . . . under that kind of situation, Mister Ye still has leeway to resist? How is that possible?" Yan-er said in surprise.
"When I made my move earlier, I clearly felt Mister Ye's breathing fluctuate. Although it was only that split second, I sense that Mister Ye he seemed to have detected me making a move, that's why he didn't react at all."
Yan-er's pretty eyes narrowed slightly. She clearly also felt that it was relatively far-fetched.
"Hehe, this is really getting more and more fascinating. Even I'm also very interested in this Mister Ye now. Also, he can actually comprehend the array formation that the Grand Yan Divine King left behind. Truly an unrivaled prodigy!" Yan-er giggled.
Li-er also smiled sweetly and said, "Yeah. I really didn't expect that this Endless World was the land that the Grand Yan Divine King rose to power! En? Yan-er, what are you looking at?"
Yan-er's gaze pierced through the void and landed on Ye Yuan. She muttered, "Miss, do you feel that Mister Ye is very similar to that person?"
Li-er's heart jolted, her gaze also involuntarily landed on Ye Yuan's body.
It was fine if Yan-er did not mention it, but when she said it, she really had such a feeling.
After a brief moment, Li-er smiled bitterly and said, "That person is already gone. How can he possibly be him?"
"Aiya, my missus! You already said that that person is already gone. Why does it matter if he isn't him? If we can get to the bottom of this Ye Yuan's unknown background, I feel that he is a perfect match for you! Although he is only at the Spirit Condensation Realm now, he'll definitely be a figure who will cause a stir in the Divine Realm in the future!" Yan-er said with a titter.
Li-er's gorgeous face was flushed red from what Yan-er said as she said annoyedly, "You're not allowed to talk any more nonsense! Watch if you I don't tear apart that mouth of yours!"
. . . . . .
In the great hall, everybody stared at Ye Yuan, very curious about what kind of conditions he would raise.
To the other six sects, this sort of opportunity to watch the fun was probably the first and last time.
The Heavenly Sky Sect had always been tyrannical in the Southern Domain. It had always been them extorting the other sects.
But today, the Tranquil Cloud Sect which ranked at the bottom actually thoroughly beat the Heavenly Sky Sect until they were convinced!
"What conditions you have, just state them! But I warn you, don't go too overboard! I'm only a Heavenly Sky Sect elder. I can't decide anything for the sect!" Wu Zhao said with a solemn face.
"Rest assured, I'm not foolish to that extent. My demand isn't high either. Each person, 20 high-grade essence crystals according to the number of people. Additionally, I want three stalks of Tier 4 medicinal herbs, 30 stalks of Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herbs. Don't tell me that you don't have it," Ye Yuan listed his terms in one breath.
"What? You really dare to demand that?!" Wu Zhao nearly leaped up.
It was no wonder that Wu Zhao's reaction was so big. Ye Yuan's conditions did not sound like a lot, but actually, it was demanding an exorbitant price.
Among the Southern Domain's Eight Great Sects, what was in circulation was primarily low-grade essence crystals.
One piece of high-grade essence crystal was equivalent to 100 pieces of middle-grade essence crystals, while one piece of middle-grade essence crystal was equal to 100 low-grade essence crystals.
The problem was that there were many low-grade essence crystals, but middle-grade essence crystals were much scarcer.
As for high-grade essence crystals, there was basically demand for it but no market!
There were still a total of ten people left in the Heavenly Sky Sect. That was also to say that they needed to pass Ye Yuan 200 pieces of high-grade essence crystals!
This amount was plenty to purchase a 16 restrictions spirit artifact!
One had to know that a sect hall head like Xiao Jian was merely using an 8 restrictions spirit artifact.
For 16 restrictions and 32 restrictions spirit artifact, normally, only the sect's sect master or grand elder level individuals had the qualifications to use them.
But Ye Yuan said apathetically, "If you don't have it, let's carry on fighting all the way until we determine the victor!"
Wu Zhao was immediately mum when he heard this. He said with a solemn face, "I'm only an elder, so how would I have so many high-grade essence crystals on me? As for them . . . even less likely!"
Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Doesn't matter, just take out whatever you have. Using middle-grade essence crystals and low-grade essence crystals to write off the remainder also works. But if you're making up for it, the quantity needs to be 20% more than normal."
Calculating it this way, if using middle-grade essence crystals to make up for it, they would need 120 pieces; equivalent to bu
y five get one free.
Ye Yuan obviously knew the scarcity of high-grade essence crystals. It was impossible for Wu Zhao to take them out.
But as the number one great sect in the Southern Domain, the Heavenly Sky Sect was also the Southern Domain's number one wealthiest sect. Their disciples were all obscenely rich.
The quantity of 200 pieces of high-grade essence crystals, it shouldn't be far off by scraping it together.
Hearing Ye Yuan say so, Wu Zhao's expression eased up quite a bit. But he still grimaced in pain and said, "Then you wait a while. I have to go back and ask them if they can scrape together that amount or not."
Wu Zhao was just about to turn around and leave but was halted by Ye Yuan. "Hang on! I said each person 20 pieces just now. It refers to each and every one of you who entered the main hall, including them."
Ye Yuan's finger pointed to those few Heavenly Sky Sect disciples' corpses lying on the ground.
Wu Zhao's expression which had just taken a turn for the better became as black as the bottom of a pot again. He bellowed, "Ye Yuan! Don't go too far!"
Ye Yuan smirked and said, "I just stated my terms and conditions. You can choose not to accept. Furthermore . . . compared to their lives, I don't feel that my terms are in anyway overboard."
The conditions that Ye Yuan raised were naturally not spoken at random.
He had long calculated that these terms would make Wu Zhao uncomfortable, but also able to tolerate the pain.
In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the elite disciples and personal disciples would get five pieces of middle-grade essence crystals and 1000 pieces of low-grade essence crystals every month as an offering.
But in reality, for pinnacle disciples like Ti Wujiu and Mo Yuntian, the amount of middle-grade essence crystals they had accumulated was still rather substantial.
There was no other way. To a small sect like the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they could only focus resources on a small number of extremely talented disciples.
But when Luo Qingfeng introduced the Heavenly Sky Sect to Ye Yuan, he mentioned the disparity between both sides' strength. Among it included the part about resource allocation.
