Ye Yuan suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Looks like the Purple Mansion Sect has already been engineering this scheme for a very long time! Up until now, the Southern Domain's people are still unaware of what happened!"
Everyone's faces changed. Only now did they became aware of the severity of the problem!
Mei Zhen and the rest who went deep into the Fierce Gale World all knew that this was the Purple Mansion Sect being the vanguard!
The Purple Mansion Sect was still using the identity as one of the Eight Great Sects right now to unite the Southern Domain. The opposition received would be much lower.
But by the time the Fierce Gale World invaded and the upper echelons of the Eight Great Sects all surrendered, the Southern Domain could no longer muster up an effective resistance.
At that time, the Southern Domain's eight great sect's land would instantly become the Fierce Gale World's base area!
They could easily gain a foothold in the Southern Domain and launch an attack on the Northern Domain!
With the Fierce Gale World's martial strength, attacking the Northern Domain was most likely something inevitable.
Ye Yuan did not think that just three to four months' time passed and the matter was already severe to this sort of extent.
Zhang Jing perceived Ye Yuan's overtones and noticed that there seemed to be some things that he did not know. He could not resist asking, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I wonder . . . what happened?"
Ye Yuan sighed lightly and recounted the matter of the Fierce Gale World invading to Zhang Jing. After Zhang Jing heard the details, his complexion was deathly pale.
Even if he racked his brains, he never would have thought that the Purple Mansion Sect was actually a chess piece left in the Endless World by the Fierce Gale World!
This way, the Southern Domain might become the Fierce Gale World's territory at any moment!
Could it be that they were all going to become another world's martial artists' slaves?
Zhang Jing could not help shuddering.
Right then, a large group of people suddenly rushed up from below the mountain. The one in the lead was actually a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm expert!
What these people were wearing were shockingly Purple Mansion Sect outfits!
"En? What a bunch of dunces. Sent them to come to take care of the wrap-up and they were actually killed off by a bunch of trash!" said the person with a frown.
When Zhang Jing saw the arrival, his expression immediately changed drastically. The strongest here was Mei Zhen. But he was only Third Level Sea Transformation Realm strength as well.
Facing a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, no matter how they looked at these people, there was no possibility of survival either!
Zhang Jing wielded his sword and blocked in front of Ye Yuan, saying with a grave face, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, when the fighting starts in a while, I'll cover for you. You take advantage of the chaos to kill your way outside! With your strength, as long as you don't face up against that Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm, you should be able to escape."
Zhang Jing saw Ye Yuan's combat strength earlier. It was overwhelmingly shocking for a moment.
But he did not think that Ye Yuan could win a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm. Between the two of them was an entire major realm difference.
Who knew that Ye Yuan said lightly, "Relax. This kind of trash, I haven't taken them seriously. Elder Mei, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, you bring the fellow apprentices to fall back. I'll go and have a direct exchange with this bunch of dregs!"
Mo Yuntian knew that he could not help and said with a nod, "Alright. Junior Apprentice Brother Zhang, let's fall back. Don't hinder Junior Apprentice Brother Ye venting his anger."
Zhang Jing was stunned, and his mind was somewhat in a blur.
Vent anger?
Venting anger on a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm?
A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm venting anger on a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm?
Wasn't this joke a little big?
But did Senior Apprentice Brother Mo look like somebody who made jokes? Could it be that Ye Yuan really had this strength?
Zhang Jing's mind would not quite wrap itself around it for a moment.
He knew that Ye Yuan was very strong. He also knew that Ye Yuan could cross realms to battle. But leaping an entire major realm to face the enemy was rather exaggerated, right?
That move earlier was certainly very strong. But that was a large area slaughtering martial technique. Was it useful against a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm?
Mei Zhen and Mo Yuntian brought everyone to move back, instantly highlighting Ye Yuan out.
When that Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm saw this scene, he could not help bursting into laughter, saying, "Haha! Your Tranquil Cloud Sect is really pathetic! To actually let a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm boy come send himself to death? Hey, that Sea Transformation Realm, were you born in the Year of the Tortoise? To actually send such a boy to come and die?"
Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said with a cold smile, "Dealing with you, I alone am sufficient. If you can touch me even a little, consider it my loss. Want me killed or dismembered, up to you."
That Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm expert was stunned, and then laughed even more exaggeratedly, while the Purple Mansion Sect disciples behind him also laughed loudly without stopping.
The Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm turned around and said to the people behind him with a laugh, "Did you all hear that? He said that if I touched him even a little, it counts as his loss."
"Hahaha! Of course I heard that! I even thought that I heard it wrong! Turns out that Elder Du heard the same thing as I did. Is this boy . . . an idiot?"
"I'm dying of laughter! A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm said to a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm: If you touch me, consider it my loss . . . Hahaha! I can't control myself anymore!"
"The Tranquil Cloud Sect is too amazing. To actually send out such a joker. Is this to make us all die of laughter? Haha! I'm dying!"
There were quite a few Sea Transformation Realm experts in this group of people. Their strength was uncommon. It was more than enough to deal with these Tranquil Cloud Sect's stragglers and disbanded soldiers.
And Ye Yuan's words completely jabbed their funny bone.
Towards these peoples mockery, Ye Yuan was expressionless. He said lightly, "I'll give you a chance for ten moves. After ten moves, you won't have any more chances . . ."
"Haha! I, Du Yushan, roamed the Southern Domain freely for so many years. This is the first time I've met such a funny teenager like you! Killing you is somewhat pitiful. Leaving you behind to be a slave to entertain us brothers is something pretty good. However . . . you all killed so many people from the Purple Mansion Sect. I can only . . . send you to go meet King Yama!"
Finished talking, Du Yushan raised a hand with a smile, striking out a palm towards Ye Yuan through the air.
This palm seemed slow, but was in reality, fast; instantly mustering horrifying heaven & earth essence energy. Killing a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist was very much as he pleased.
Yet . . . this blast of palm wind passed through Ye Yuan's body just like this.
Du Yucheng's smile was frozen on his face, while the laughter of those behind him ceased abruptly.
Chapter 448. Despair! |
"Elder Du, you aren't deliberately losing on purpose, right? A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm boy, and you actually can't even take care of him in one move?"
"Yeah. Did you hear him talk about ten moves, so you want to play with him? That move earlier completely did not hurt nor itch!"
Everyone behind clearly did not believe that Du Yushan could not handle a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm.
Yet, Du Yushan knew that he did not hold back in this attack. He used a full 30% strength!
However, this boy before his eyes actually evaded easily. It was seriously rather abnormal.
"Ha-Haha! This boy said ten moves earlier, so this elder thought about playing with him. I want to see how many times he can dodge my attacks," Du Yucheng said with a look of embarrassment.
"Haha! Play then, play then. Just a bunch of dregs. Let them feel what is called despair!" Someone concurred.
"Hehe. Again! I'm going to play around well with this little trash!" Du Yucheng said with a laugh.
The corner of Ye Yuan's mouth curled slightly with his face showing contempt. He extended his hand and beckoned with his finger. The intent of scorn was completely unmasked.
Du Yucheng's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, you're looking for death!"
As he said, Du Yucheng's palm assaulted once again. This time, he used 70% strength. The power could not be mentioned in the same breath.
One palm passed. Ye Yuan still stood with his hands behind his back, like that palm earlier completely did not happen.
Ye Yuan was still beckoning his index finger with a disdainful look.
This time, Du Yushan felt that his face could not hang in there. Gritting his teeth, his entire person vanished from where he stood.
Bang!
A huge hole was blasted out on the ground behind Ye Yuan. Du Yushan's figure appeared.
Only to see Ye Yuan slowly turn around and say coolly, "Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm only has this bit of capabilities? Double up!"
"Stinking brat! It's you yourself seeking death. You only hav your self to blame for this!" Du Yushan gnashed his teeth hatefully and said.
Du Yushan erupted completely, staring at Ye Yuan and bombarding indiscriminately. Horrifying heaven and earth essence energy was mobilized, blasting towards Ye Yuan one move after another!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dirt flew around the place Ye Yuan was standing at, kicking up clouds of dust, and blocking people's sight.
In a twinkle, ten moves passed. Du Yushan actually felt like collapsing. These ten moves earlier, he already used all of his strength. Under such an attack, Ye Yuan could not possibly survive!
"Hahaha! Still be unbridled with me! This stinking brat really doesn't know how the word 'death' is written!" Du Yushan said with a loud laugh.
"Heh heh, to actually dare infuriate Elder Du. This boy is really soft in the head! I reckon that he's already blasted into meat paste now, right?"
"However, this boy has some capabilities. To actually be able to evade Elder Du's first three rounds of attacks. He can also be considered as quite capable!"
"Just a self-conceited fool who was insolent because of his ability. Such a person is destined to not live long."
The Purple Mansion Sect's people were perfectly aware of Du Yucheng's attacks. Those few moves earlier were his trump cards. How could Ye Yuan possibly survive under such horrifying attacks?
Zhang Jing's expression changed. Du Yushan's attacks earlier were too terrifying. Separated so far away made him feel asphyxiated too.
How could a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist possibly survive under such an attack?
Zhang Jing was just about to take some action when he was halted by Mo Yuntian. "Relax. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye isn't that kind of wildly arrogant person. Since he dared to receive his ten moves, he must have a grasp of the situation in his mind."
Mo Yuntian's voice had yet to fade when an ice-cold voice came from that disorderly patch of dust as if it came from the underworld!
"Seriously weak! You dregs from the Fierce Gale World only have this bit of ability? Since that's the case, then go and die!"
Hearing this voice, Du Yucheng's expression changed drastically. His scalp tingled and a feeling of terror welled up from the bottom of his heart.
He instinctively felt that things were not good and turned around to flee!
The sound of a dragon roar came from within the dust. The wind and fire colossal dragon carried a voice which made peoples' heart palpitate charged over towards Du Yushan with extreme speed!
"Ahh! Help!"
Du Yushan had yet to run far when he was completely swallowed up by the colossal dragon!
The wretched screams entered everyone's ears. Regardless whether it was the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples or the people from the Purple Mansion Sect, they were all quaking in their boots with fear.
Especially the Purple Mansion Sect. Each and every one of their faces showed immense shock.
A kind of feeling called fear rose up from the bottom of everyone's heart. Including those Sea Transformation Realm elders!
Even the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm Du Yushan crumbled in one blow like so, what did they . . . even count as?
Only persisted for a few breaths of time, and then Du Yushan fell completely silent.
The wind and fire colossal dragon dissipated. Only a mass of black smoke rose up. Du Yushan actually did not even leave behind a corpse!
And right then, the dust that was stirred up by Du Yushan's attacks gradually dispersed, revealing that slightly skinny looking profile of Ye Yuan's.
The eyes the Purple Mansion Sect disciples looked at Ye Yuan with was like looking at a primordial behemoth.
"H-Half-step Sea Transformation! This . . . how is this possible?" A Purple Mansion Sect's Sea Transformation Realm elder's old eyes nearly dropped to the ground.
A moment ago, he was still Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm. In the blink of an eye, Ye Yuan actually became a Half-Step Sea Transformation existence.
Right at this moment, Ye Yuan's gaze also just happened to turn towards him, and actually flashed him a smile, saying, "Is it very despondent? Now . . . can you all understand the feelings of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples?"
Ye Yuan's smile looked like a completely harmless neighbor's big boy. But who would really take him to be a big boy from next door?
This young man was simply the God of Death descending upon the world!
"R-R-Run! Quickly run!" That Sea Transformation Realm elder turned around and fled.
Only then, did the group of Purple Mansion Sect disciple startle awake abruptly, scattering apart like birds and beasts.
"Ah! Help!"
"That's a demon! Quickly flee!"
The Purple Mansion Sect disciples instantly fell into a chaotic mess.
They wished that their parents had given them a couple more legs to let them run a little faster.
Very soon, all of their figures stopped abruptly, as if they were fixed in place!
Because in front of them, countless flower petals condensed and formed, sealing off all of their escape routes!
That Sea Transformation Realm elder who was the first to run clenched his teeth and released his aura fully, wanting to charge past.
Only to hear slashing sounds echo out. A badly mutilated corpse fell down from the air.
This time, everyone despaired.
Slam!
A Purple Mansion Sect disciple kneeled down towards Ye Yuan and actually cried, "M-Mercy! I know my error! Spare my dog life! Sniff . . . Sniff . . ."
This kneel of his was akin to a plague, instantly infecting all of the Purple Mansion Sect disciples.
The Purple Mansion Sect disciple all kneel down towards Ye Yuan, repenting and begging for mercy.
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "When you all were killing those fellow sect members of mine below the mountain, did you ever thought about showing mercy? If I didn't make it over here in time today, most likely, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would not have even fowls or dogs spared anymore, right? Therefore . . . all of you go and die!"
Chapter 449. Defending Tranquil Cloud Sect to the Death! |
Looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, Zhang Jing was dumbfounded for a long time.
Only a short three months or so had passed, and Ye Yuan was alre
ady an existence on a completely different level from them these fellow apprentices.
Not only did he rise a full major realm, he even had the strength to instantly kill a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm in terms of combat strength already!
Crossing a major realm to battle. This was something that Zhang Jing did not even dare to imagine. But Ye Yuan accomplished it effortlessly.
Recalling back when he left Ye Yuan into the sect, Zhang Jing had a feeling like it was a whole other life.
That young man not far away was destined to be someone from a different world from them mere mortals!
"A few months of not seeing him, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye actually already matured to such a level!" Zhang Jing muttered under his breath.
In truth, the astonishment in Mo Yuntian's heart was not much lesser than Zhang Jing's. Although he knew that Ye Yuan's present combat power was stunning, this was his first time truly seeing it!
Killing a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm in one move, the shock from such an impact was too great.
Hearing Zhang Jing's emotional sigh, Mo Yuntian said in relief, "It was also thanks to Ye Yuan. Otherwise, the few of us would have long died in a foreign land. These fellow sect apprentices would probably also die without a burial ground!"
Mei Zhen and the rest crowded in front of Ye Yuan and asked concernedly, "Ye Yuan, your body still isn't fully recovered. Are you alright?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Not a big issue."
Compared to the fight with Zhao Chenggan, this earlier could only be said to be a warm-up.
Likewise, Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm, the disparity between the two was too great!
Mei Zhen nodded and said, "Good that you're fine! Ye Yuan, you're the Tranquil Cloud Sect's final hope now. You must take care not to force things."
"Thank you for Elder Mei's concern. I'll take notice."
"En. Now that the sect is already broken up, where . . . should we go?"
When Mei Zhen said these words, everyone perked their ears up, wanting to hear what Ye Yuan would say.
At this time now, Ye Yuan was already where all of Tranquil Cloud Sect's hopes lay.
