Tian Yu suddenly shut his eyes, took in a deep breath, and snapped open his eyes and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, don't go out! Grandpa they . . . they all will understand!"
This sentence, ten over words, Tian Yu seemed to have used all of his strength.
Especially the latter half of the sentence. He practically choked it out through sobs.
When he finished talking, his face was already covered in tears.
Such a decision was too cruel to him.
Tian Yu was practically brought up by Skymaple hand-in-hand. Their relationship, everyone in the Tranquil Cloud Sect knew.
Yet now, Tian Yu actually said to give up on Grand Elder!
Everyone's gazes focused on Tian Yu, and their eyes actually turned red.
Everybody fell silent. This decision was an extremely arduous decision for everyone.
Yet, Lin Chao seemed to know what was happening here. His voice rang out untimely again. "Ye Yuan, I know that you can hear me! Look, I invited you out to meet up and have a chat properly, but you just have to make me resort to force. How about this? From now onwards, every 15 minutes, I'll kill a Tranquil Cloud Sect prisoner all the way until you come out!"
When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples heard this, they wished that they could go out and tear Lin Chao into shreds.
But one had to acknowledge that Lin Chao's words seemed to clamp down on their throats, making it extremely uncomfortable for them.
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "You all heard as well. We can't very well look on passively as Grand Elder they all die in front of us, right? Everybody relax. I'll be right back. Nothing will happen."
Ye Yuan's figure moved and passed the group of Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.
Yet, right at this time, a figure blocked in front of him. It was precisely Tian Yu.
"Ye Yuan, not that I fear death, but seeking death like this is really not worth it! Any one of us can go and die, only you alone can't! Without you, the Tranquil Cloud Sect will thoroughly lose any hope for taking revenge!" Tian Yu said resolutely.
Ye Yuan was touched in his heart, but he said with a smile, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, rest assured. I'm not going to court death."
Tian Yu was very clear about Ye Yuan's character. Except, the sect protecting grand array was Ye Yuan's final measure. How could he be willing to believe Ye Yuan's words?
Even if Ye Yuan broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, it was also not possible to be He Mingde's match!
Going out like this, what was it but seeking death?
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, if you must go out, then kill me first! If you insist on leaving, I know that I can't stop you, but I can kill myself!"
As he said, Tian Yu raised his sword and put it against his neck.
Ye Yuan did not think that Tian Yu would actually be so decisive. He said helplessly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, I'm really not deceiving you. Time is of the essence. Explain to you again later. Going to have to offend!"
As he said, Ye Yuan's figure flashed, arriving in front of Tian Yu the next instant.
Tian Yu did not even get to react and was brought down by Ye Yuan.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, help me take care of Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu. I'll be right back," Ye Yuan said.
Finished talking, Ye Yuan flew away.
. . . . . .
"Ye Yuan, looks like you don't care about these Tranquil Cloud Sect people's lives anymore. Then I'll make a move! Remember to find somebody to help collect their corpses in a while! Do it!" Lin Chao's voice resounded throughout the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect.
"Halt!"
A voice came over. Ye Yuan's figure slowly appeared out from the grand array.
When Lin Chao saw Ye Yuan, he could not help it but to show a smile because his scheme had succeeded.
"Ye Yuan, it's really been a long time we haven't see each other!" Lin Chao said with a smile.
Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Lin Chao, it's really you!"
"Huhu, these words should be said by me instead! I really didn't think that you could actually escape from the Fierce Gale World! Truly inconceivable!' Lin Chao said.
"Zhao Tianyin is a fool. What's so strange about escaping from his hands?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
Lin Chao was stupefied when he heard that and said, "Who's Zhao Tianyin?"
"You don't even know the Wind Emperor's exalted name and actually work yourself to the bone for him. I really feel sad for you!" Ye Yuan said with a look of pity.
"H-His Majesty, the Wind Emperor's name! You . . . You have met the Wind Emperor, His Excellency?"
Lin Chao no longer had the composure from before. What replaced it was astonishment.
He thought that Ye Yuan was being hunted down the entire time and that being able to escape was simply by luck.
But now, Ye Yuan said that he met the Wind Emperor and even escaped from the Wind Emperor's hands!
How was this possible?
Then he heard Ye Yuan nonchalantly said, "Haha, not only have I met him, his elderly self . . . even kowtowed before me to admit his fault!"
Chapter 466. Obliterated? |
When Ye Yuan's words were heard, not just Lin Chao, all of the Purple Mansion Sect's disciples were overwhelmed with indignation!
They felt that this was Ye Yuan insulting His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!
How could a puny little Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple make the high and mighty Wind Emperor kneel down?
Lin Chao's expression became very ugly, and he said with a cold grunt, "Ye Yuan, you're challenging my baseline! Looks like if I don't show you some colors, you'll forever not know pain! Come, men! Bring Ling Potian up here for me and kill him!"
The Purple Mansion Sect's Sect Master seemed to not have the intention of talking and left everything here to Lin Chao.
Under Lin Chao's command, Ling Potian was brought before the formation very quickly by two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.
Ling Potian still had that icy-cold look and was pushed and shoved by two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. But his expression was one with stubbornness!
When Ye Yuan saw the situation, his face changed, and he said, "Lin Chao, I already came out. What else do you want?"
Lin Chao said with a cold smile, "His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is a paramount existence. You actually dare to defame him so! This is the result of you slandering him!"
As he said, Lin Chao did a chopping action. A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist raised his hand and lowered his blade without even furrowing his eyebrows. Ling Potian died just like this.
Ye Yuan was livid with rage. Clearly, he did not think that Lin Chao would actually be so decisive to directly kill people.
Lin Chao waved his hand. But this time, Xiao Jian was brought up!
"Ye Yuan, I think that you still haven't figure out just how is holding the initiative right now!" Lin Chao looked at Ye Yuan with a proud look.
Ye Yuan's expression was very ugly, and he said with a cold snort, "Lin Chao, don't go too far!"
"Haha. When you used the grand array to cut down our three grand elders, why didn't you say words like this? I really never expected that you could actually rely on a grand array to perform to such an extent. Honestly speaking, if not for guessing that you had returned, I really wouldn't have dared to recommend Sect Master to use such measures. I think that with your personality, you probably wouldn't watch passively as the few of them died in front of you, right? Hahaha!"
Talking about how he was proud of himself, Lin Chao laughed wildly unceasingly.
"Lin Chao! I really regret not killing you back then in the mystic realm!" Ye Yuan said, through gnashed teeth.
"There is no medicine that can be eaten for regret in this world! Speaking of which, if not for you bringing me past those grand arrays, I wouldn't have a way to crack the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array! For my Fierce Gale World's aboriginals to be able to appear in the sight of people o
nce again, it's truly all thanks to you!" Lin Chao became more delighted the more he talked.
Speaking of which, Lin Chao also suffered a fair bit of losses in the hands of Ye Yuan too, and he almost died in Ye Yuan's hands a number of times.
Now that he could finally take revenge on Ye Yuan, Lin Chao was also incomparably free from inhibitions in his heart.
Seeing that visage of Ye Yuan's that was black like the bottom of a pot, Lin Chao felt liberating to the max.
"Talk then. What terms do you want before you're willing to let Grand Elder they all go!" Ye Yuan said.
Lin Chao said smilingly, "Very simple. As long as you get rid of this sect protecting grand array and surrender to my Purple Mansion Sect, I can spare their lives!"
Ye Yuan's expression changed, and he immediately refused, "That's impossible! Keep dreaming!"
Lin Chao had an amused look as he said, "Is that so . . ."
As he spoke, Lin Chao's hand slowly raised.
Only to hear a spray. Xiao Jian was decapitated too!
"Hall Head Xiao!" Ye Yuan clearly did not expect that Lin Chao would actually kill people like so without batting his eyes, as he said with a roar.
"Huhu. I wonder . . . if I'm dreaming right now?" Lin Chao looked at Ye Yuan and said mockingly.
He knew Ye Yuan's temperament, which was why he used such intense measures to force Ye Yuan to submit.
The first two was killed straightforwardly. But at the back, he would naturally take it slow.
As long as he still had a person in his hands, he would not fear Ye Yuan not holding back when taking action.
As long as Ye Yuan removed the grand array, then the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was equivalent to being annihilated.
Or maybe, Ye Yuan himself walking out of the grand array.
Lin Chao believed that so long as this sect protecting grand array did not have Ye Yuan presiding over it, with He Mingde's strength, he could surely breach it easily!
What he needed to do was to stun Ye Yuan's state of mind, and make Ye Yuan lose his normal judgment.
Now, his plan had basically half-succeeded already!
Ye Yuan currently had furious eyes; far from that sort of cool and composed feeling normally.
At this time, Lin Chao waved his hand again. The one brought up this time was precisely Sect Master Luo Qingfeng!
"Ye Yuan, still want to do it?" Lin Chao said coolly.
The current Lin Chao was like a sovereign who overlooked all life, holding the power of the Tranquil Cloud Sect's upper echelon's life and death!
Ye Yuan's present complexion was already gloomy to be extreme. He enunciated word by word, "You're . . . courting . . . death!"
As he said, Ye Yuan walked out of the Tranquil Cloud Sect's sect protecting grand array just like that, bringing along floating flower petals that filled the entire sky.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chao was not alarmed, but became delighted instead!
This Ye Yuan finally could not bear it and walked out of the grand array himself!
Although he was alarmed due to the might of Ye Yuan's attacks, with Lord Sect Master here, what could Ye Yuan do to him?
Ye Yuan's eyes were crimson red, looking as if he was completely possessed.
Thousand Flowing Petals carried a soul-stirring deterring power as it gradually approached Lin Chao.
He Mingde looked at Ye Yuan and Lin Chao's conversation expressionlessly all the way until this moment, did his eyes show immense shock.
The power of this move was too strong!
This was still his first time seeing this genius from Lin Chao's mouth. When he saw him for the first time earlier, he did not seem to have any extraordinary aspects either.
But when he saw this scene, He Mingde finally understood that Lin Chao's appraisal of Ye Yuan was not too high. It was actually too low!
Just based on this move, Ye Yuan was simply without any match within the Sea Transformation Realm!
Yet, this young man was just merely First Level Sea Transformation Realm!
Such talent, such combat strength, it was overwhelming until it made people feel suffocated!
However . . .
A hint of a cruel smile flashed across He Mingde's face. Even more talented geniuses would stop here today!
Ye Yuan stood inside the grand array all along previously. He Mingde was wary of the grand array; that was why he observed by the side the entire time.
Now that Ye Yuan already walked out of the sect protecting grand array, He Mingde no longer had anything to fear.
Lin Chao was a peerless genius among the Purple Mansion Sect's junior generation. Going to the Fierce Gale World this time and obtaining His Majesty, the Wind Emperor's bestowal, his strength improved at a tremendous pace even more so.
But, even like this, he was still not Ye Yuan's match!
He Mingde naturally would not watch Ye Yuan kill Lin Chao passively. Hence, he took action. Ye Yuan was already increasingly closer to Lin Chao. The astonishment in Lin Chao's could not be any greater as well.
He felt immense pressure. The attack of a First Level Sea Transformation Realm could actually give him such tremendous pressure!
But Lin Chao did not perform any defensive move. He knew that He Mingde would definitely make a move!
As long as Ye Yuan exited the grand array, he did not have any chance to return anymore!
"Lin Chao, it's you who are seeking death; I can't be blamed!" Ye Yuan said in a seemingly crazed-state.
At present, Ye Yuan had advanced to the Sea Transformation Realm. The power of the Thousand Flowing Petals went further up another step.
Those horrifying flying petals swept towards Lin Chao.
At that very moment, a horrifying majesty descended abruptly. A white light roughly the size of a bowl plummeted from the sky, directly blasting onto Ye Yuan's body!
Ye Yuan did not even get to scream out and was obliterated by this move!
Lin Chao looked at this scene with a look of self-delight and was incomparably satisfied.
This fellow finally died!
Yet, right at that moment, He Mingde's expression changed. He yelled out, "Lin Chao, be careful!"
Chapter 467. Unable to Distinguish Real from Fake |
Logically speaking, with Ye Yuan being obliterated, his move would also dissipate right away.
Yet, those flying petals that covered the sky actually did not have the slightest trace of dissipating. Instead, it sped up and churned over towards Lin Chao!
When Lin Chao saw the situation, his expression could not help changing drastically.
He Mingde did not expect such an outcome either and could not help turning pale with fright.
His figure swayed, and vanished from its original spot!
Yet, it was already late!
Even though the speed of a late-stage Soul Sea Realm was fast, him only moving at this time was clearly a beat slower already.
Clusters of flower petals quickly encased Lin Chao!
"Agh! Sect Master, save me!"
He already sensed the power of this move just now. But he only realised how terrifying this move was when confronting it head-on right now!
No matter how he unleashed his moves, it had no way of obstructing the flower petals' encroachment!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the flower petals broke through his protective essence energy and sliced his flesh body!
"Lin Chao!"
By the time He Mingde reached, Lin Chao already sprawled feebly onto the ground, his life and death unknown.
He Mingde's face was livid with rage as he looked at this scene in disbelief.
A First Level Sea Transformation Realm actually succeeded in ambushing Lin Chao right under He Mingde's eyes!
That move of his earlier had clearly struck Ye Yuan already. Putting aside that Ye Yuan was just a First Level Sea Transformation Realm, even a First Level Soul Sea Realm should be deader than dead too.
But wh
y did Ye Yuan's move not dissipate?
He Mingde quickly raised his head, looking all around, trying to find Ye Yuan's profile.
However, where was Ye Yuan's silhouette?
It was as if he just blasted onto the air just now!
This kind of feeling was extremely surreal. He Mingde had never encountered such a situation before.
Suddenly, He Mingde's expression changed.
A figure gradually took form in front of him. It was precisely Ye Yuan that he obliterated previously!
Ye Yuan shot an indifferent glance at Lin Chao collapsed on the ground and said with a sigh, "A pity. I expended too much essence energy in the end. Killing you now is a kind of ability falling short of my will. Consider it you're having another life then."
Looking at Ye Yuan not far away, He Mingde was very perplexed. Just how did Ye Yuan dodge his attack earlier?
That sort of feeling earlier was absolutely unmistakable. He had indeed struck Ye Yuan.
A First Level Sea Transformation Realm received an attack of his fully and actually stood before him without a scratch. What kind of situation was this?
He Mingde was scheming and calculating by nature. Seeing Ye Yuan appear again, he did not immediately take action.
He surveyed the surroundings but did not discover anything out of the ordinary.
Just where did the problem occur?
"Boy, how did you do it?" He Mingde suddenly opened his mouth to ask.
Ye Yuan lifted his head slightly, looked at He Mingde, and he said, "Wanted to do it, so did it. Didn't you take into account every conceivable possibility? Make a guess then what means I used to do it."
He Mingde's brows furrowed. Ye Yuan had a look as if he had nothing to fear. Very clearly, he did not fear He Mingde taking action.
"Humph! Pretending to be mysterious! Go to hell!"
He Mingde struck out a palm and obliterated Ye Yuan again!
The feeling was exactly the same as before. The Ye Yuan before his eyes was deader than dead.
This time, he should be really dead, right?
Looking around again, he totally did not sense Ye Yuan's aura. Just a dead person in front of him.
Not knowing why, He Mingde actually had a feeling of liberated from a heavy load.
