. . . . . .
Those bloodstains were indeed left by Ye Yuan. His body was covered all over with wounds left by wind blades!
His arms, legs, chest, back, and even his face had streaks of bloodstains. These were all wounds left by the wind blades.
Ye Yuan’s clothes were already fully soaked in fresh blood, looking horrifyingly ghastly!
But Ye Yuan seemed to be completely oblivious to all this; like he could not feel pain.
At this moment, Ye Yuan was not running on land but was swept up into the air by the gale winds!
Ye Yuan’s body drifted far along with the fierce winds just like a piece of paper, seemingly as if he already lost control of his body and could only submit to the whims of the wild storms.
But looking over closely, Ye Yuan’s body seemed to be swaying slightly with a rhythm.
Although that extent was very tiny, small until it could be overlooked, he was indeed moving!
If Lan Bao was present, he would surely jump out of his skin!
Because Ye Yuan already withdrew protective essence energy! He was currently completely unprotected! Taking off protective essence energy in the Level Five Gale Region, this was no different from suicide!
The all-pervasive wind blades would mince martial artists into meat paste anytime.
Even for Fierce Gale World martial artists who lived each day in the gale winds, nobody dared to do so too!
But not only did Ye Yuan did it, he even stubbornly survived until now. Although the wounds on his body looked very dreadful and shocking, it was beyond all doubt that he was still alive!
. . . . . .
Lan Feng chased the bloodstains all the way. The initial exhilaration became doubt. Then, it turned into a foreboding feeling!
The deeper in, the more intense that ominous feeling got.
Evidently, Ye Yuan did not die!
If Ye Yuan really lost resistance, he would be diced into pieces by these materialized wind blades very soon.
And the bloodstains on the ground were only some flecks and spots. It looked rather like it dripped from some minor wounds.
And along the way as he tracked, he discovered that the bloodstains on the ground were becoming lesser and lesser!
When he had just started, there were bloodstains the size of two palms on the ground. Later, it gradually became one palm size. Then, to the back, there were only bloodstains the size of a chicken egg.
What did this show?
It showed that Ye Yuan’s wounds were currently healing!
Lan Bao sucked in a deep breath and forcefully mustered up essence energy to increase speed and hunt him down!
He wanted to see just what deceitful trick Ye Yuan was deliberately doing.
Half a day after entering the Level Five Gale Region, Lan Bao finally saw Ye Yuan who was drifting in the air!
When Ye Yuan appeared in front of Lan Bao, words were really unable to describe the astonishment in his heart.
The bloodstains on Ye Yuan already dried up. But that miserable feel came from straight ahead.
Except, Lan Bao could not become happy at all when he saw Ye Yuan’s tragic appearance.
Because that was not the main point!
The main point was that Ye Yuan was actually comprehending the Concept of Wind in the Level Five Gale Region!
Comprehending the Concept of Wind by itself was not something impressive. One could say that Fierce Gale World martial artists have been comprehending the Concept of Wind without a moment’s pause since birth.
But there had never been anyone who would use this sort of insane method to comprehend concepts!
Removing protective essence energy to let their bodies be fully exposed to the gale winds. Nobody dared to try this kind of suicidal cultivation method!
Ignoring that this was the Level Five Gale Region, even at the Level Four or even the Level Three Gale Region there would not be people doing this sort of thing!
But Ye Yuan did it just like that!
Not only did he do it, he even survived proper and well until now!
This was truly something beyond understanding!
Without essence energy protecting the body, how did Ye Yuan avoid those countless streaks of concentrated wind blades?
When Lan Bao saw Ye Yuan’s movements clearly, his pupils involuntarily constricted!
Ye Yuan’s body was swaying about in an extremely tiny range. And each time he swayed, he could evade the wind blades skillfully!
With Lan Bao’s visual prowess, he actually could not see clearly just how Ye Yuan avoided it!
But undoubtedly, the wind blades that were everywhere and that could only be withstood using protective essence energy in his eyes, Ye Yuan could avoid them niftily!
Those wind blades could not harm Ye Yuan!
Whoosh!
A wind blade cut Ye Yuan’s body. Ye Yuan furrowed his brows in pain. Several drops of fresh blood flowed down his body!
Seeing this scene, Lan Bao’s heart plummeted.
He plainly saw earlier that when that wind blade arrived in front of Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan already had nowhere to evade.
But the final outcome was that . . . it just left a trivial wound on Ye Yuan’s arm!
And just in that instant earlier, there were no less than several hundred wind blades that attacked Ye Yuan. But only this one wind blade left a shallow wound on Ye Yuan’s body!
“No way! I can’t let him continue to comprehend! Take this chance to kill him!”
Lan Bao had an ominous feeling. He decided to make a move!
The next instant, Lan Bao’s Sea Transformation Realm aura abruptly erupted. Only to see his body transform into an afterimage, sweeping over towards Ye Yuan in mid-air!
“Tumultuous Violent Wave! Go die, Ye Yuan!”
An extremely violent punch, formidable until it made people feel stifled.
But Ye Yuan in mid-air seemed to still be immersed in the world of comprehending the Concept of Wind and was oblivious to Lan Bao’s attack.
Lan Bao’s explosive power was extremely strong and his speed was also exceedingly quick. His figure crossed a distance of several hundred feet in a blink of an eye and arrived in front of Ye Yuan.
Powerful essence energy undulations blasted away all those materialized wind blades, forming a vacuum zone without wind blades!
One could imagine just how formidable the might of this fist from Lan Bao was!
Right at this moment, Ye Yuan who had his eyes shut the whole time suddenly snapped them open. Looking at Lan Bao, the corner of his mouth showed a derisive smile.
Lan Bao was shocked inwardly and immediately felt that things were not going well.
Indeed, he only felt a blur before his eyes. Ye Yuan’s figure vanished from sight!
“You came at such a perfect timing. I can test the Wind flow True Intent that I’d just comprehended!”
It was as if Ye Yuan’s voice came from hell.

“True intent?! You’re saying that you comprehended true intent?!” Lan Bao’s gazed turned intent as he asked in disbelief.
“What? You don’t believe it? You can come and give it a try!” Ye Yuan said with a grin.
Lan Bao’s eyes flickered. He was all too clear on what true intent meant.
He was also way too clear on the difficulty of comprehending true intent.
Just a short half days’ time and Ye Yuan actually comprehended a true intent. This was a seriously tremendous blow to him.
He pursued Ye Yuan for seven days and seven nights and such a result appeared in the end. This really made him unable to quite accept it.
Hence, he chose not to believe it!
“Humph! Then I’ll give it a shot! Do you think that dodging my attack once by a fluke can scare me? True intent? Heh heh, is true intent that easy to comprehend?” Lan Bao said with a cold sneer.
Finished talking, another punch struck f
orth!
At practically the first moment he threw the punch, Ye Yuan’s figure floated away like a piece of paper. The punch hit nothing again!
Lan Bao’s face fell. Ye Yuan’s movements were too bizarre; as if he knew what he was thinking!
That punch just now, Ye Yuan accurately predicted his intent to attack and responded right away.
Lan Bao’s speed was exceedingly swift. This was just something that took place in the time for a spark to fly off a piece of flint. Ye Yuan’s speed was not fast, but he could respond to it in advance.
“I still don’t believe it!”
Lan Bao gritted his teeth, his fists smashing onto Ye Yuan’s body like a torrential squall.
But Ye Yuan’s body was just like a falling leaf in the wind. The fiercer Lan Bao’s fist was, the harder it was to hit him.
It was like Lan Bao’s punches spurred the air to forcefully push Ye Yuan aside. So no matter how Lan Bao attacked, he could not hit Ye Yuan!
In a twinkle, over a hundred moves passed. But Lan Bao did not even touch the corner of Ye Yuan’s sleeves!
At this instant, Lan Bao faintly had a feeling that it was as if Ye Yuan had merged together with the surrounding wild winds, and he was fighting the entire storm.
This sort of feeling was utterly preposterous, but it was so real too!
“Give up! You can’t hit me! If it were you at full power, I might still have some fear. But the current you can’t even touch me at all!” Ye Yuan said lightly.
“Shut your mouth for me! Go to hell!” Lan Bao already descended into a crazed state and completely turned a deaf ear to Ye Yuan’s words.
Or perhaps, he did not wish to admit this fact at all.
“Sigh . . .” Ye Yuan heaved a sigh. His figure swayed, vanishing from within Lan Bao’s fist silhouettes.
When he appeared again, he was already over a hundred feet away.
“Your attacks are much too inferior compared to these wind blades that cover the entire sky. Even these wind blades can’t hurt me anymore. How can you harm me?”
Lan Bao’s expression was ugly to the max. He knew that Ye Yuan should have really comprehended the so-called Wind Flow True Intent!
Not only did he fail to kill Ye Yuan, but he also let Ye Yuan obtain a tremendous harvest instead. Lan Bao’s gloominess now could be imagined.
“No matter how fast your fist is, you just have to move, and the wind will flow along with it. Thanks to you, I grasped the law of wind flow in this Level Five gale region and comprehended the Wind Flow True Intent!” Ye Yuan said.
“Humph! So what if you grasped true intent? My Lan Family Tribe has already sent massive forces to guard the realm passageway. Do you think that you can still escape back to the Endless World safely?” Lan Bao said with a cold snort.
Ye Yuan beamed and said, “I don’t need you to worry about that! After I rescue my fellow apprentices, I naturally have ways to bring them back. I feel that it’s better if you worry about your own matters instead.”
“Even if I can’t do anything to you, you aren’t thinking that you can do anything to me, right? Don’t forget, you’re only at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm!”
Although Lan Bao was not at his peak condition right now, he was a Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm expert after all.
A lean camel was bigger than a horse. He did not believe that Ye Yuan could do anything to him!
Ye Yuan said, “When I comprehended true intent earlier, I just happened to have some ideas that I can test out on you. If you can receive it, so what if I let you leave?”
Seeing Ye Yuan’s fully confident appearance, Lan Bao was taken aback and instinctively felt that things were not good.
He was currently suffering from severe blood essence loss and his strength was already greatly discounted. In addition to staying half a day in the Level Five gale region, he was already an arrow at the end of its flight long ago.
On the other hand, although his body was riddled with injuries, Ye Yuan virtually did not use much essence energy in this half a day. Instead, he recovered quite substantially.
With one weakening and the other strengthening, it already lessened the distance between the two considerably.
Furthermore, Lan Bao had witnessed Ye Yuan’s Thousand Flowing Petals. Its attack power was so strong that even he did not dare to be negligent.
Thinking up to here, how could Lan Bao dare to continue clashing head-on with Ye Yuan?
Losing face was better than losing his life!
Lan Bao did think about anything else, turning around to flee!
Ye Yuan had noticed his actions long ago. How could he give him a chance to escape?
The seven days and seven nights pursuit had forced Ye Yuan into a hopeless situation! If not for having some inspiration at the eleventh hour and comprehending true intent, what condition he would be in right now would still be ambiguous.
Moreover, in the Eternal Splendor Palace’s second level, that punch from Lan Bao nearly claimed Ye Yuan’s little life!
New grudges together with old hatred. Now was the time to settle all scores!
In Lan Bao’s eyes, Ye Yuan released his aura, and his entire being seemingly to have transformed into a mass of flames!
Ye Yuan put both hands together. A gust of fierce wind rose up from the bottom of his feet. That bundle of flames flared sky-high with a roar!
“Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon! Go!”
Ye Yuan gave a light cry and sent it out with both palms. A colossal roaring dragon rushed out, hurtling at full speed towards the frenziedly running Lan Bao!
Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon was the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, Mortal Chapter’s third auxiliary skill!
When he was at the State of Qin, Ye Hang once used this martial technique. Its power was matchless.
And at this moment, the gigantic dragon that Ye Yuan fired out was many times larger than Ye Hang’s!
The moment the fire dragon was unleashed, it actually caught up to Lan Bao in a blink of an eye.
Lan Bao was in the midst of fleeing. Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura from behind catching up and could not help getting a shock! He hurriedly turned around to face the enemy.
“Tumultuous Violent Wave! Break for me!”
Lan Bao smashed a fist out ferociously, clashing together with the fire dragon.
With this collision, Lan Bao’s face changed drastically. The fire dragon actually directly coiled around his fist and snaked upwards!
How could he have the time to change his move at this point? Only to hear a bang! The fire dragon collided viciously onto Lan Bao’s chest!
“Puhwark!”
The incredible impact force sent Lan Bao flying out and vomiting a large mouthful of blood in mid-air. It was just that Lan Bao had yet to tumble to the ground when he was swept away by a gust of fierce wind.
“ARGH!”
Lan Bao’s tragic cries came from the air. Countless gale wind penetrated his protective essence energy, slashing on his body like blades!
After a dozen breaths later, not a sound could be heard from Lan Bao anymore.
He was originally already at his limits and received Ye Yuan’s dreadful attack too. He was simply unable to maintain his own protective essence energy anymore.
These storm winds did not have any sympathy and attacked Lan Bao indiscriminately. How could Lan Bao not die?
Watching Lan Bao be swallowed up by the fierce storms, Ye Yuan also sucked in a breath deeply.
The hardships along the way, only he alone knew . . .
Chapter 352

With Lan Bao’s death, Ye Yuan’s tightly wound nerves relaxed immediated.
But it was only to see his legs turn to jelly. Even standing upright was actually quite strenuous.
The few days of sprinting at his limits already wore Ye Yuan’s body and mind out immensely. At this moment, he could not sustain a
ny longer.
Lan Feng’s figure suddenly appeared. He was startled when he saw Ye Yuan’s condition and hurriedly supported him.
Having the slave seal planted, all of Lan Feng’s words and actions centered around Ye Yuan and did not have his own personality.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s all scratched up appearance, Lan Feng felt concern from the bottom of his heart.
“Are you alright, Master?”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said weakly, “Bring me out.”
Lan Feng nodded and piggybacked Ye Yuan towards the Level Four Gale Region.
. . . . . .
Two days later, somewhere in the Level Four Gale Region, an essence energy tempest towered to the skies, isolating the biting cold gale winds.
Around an hour later, the essence energy tempest dissipated, revealing a white-clothed youth with glimmering eyes and an imposing aura!
This white-clothed youth was precisely Ye Yuan!
Although these few days of pursuit was impossibly arduous for him, it was also a valuable gain.
The pursuit-evasion journey these seven days and nights not only let him comprehended the Wind Flow True Intent, it even let his realm reached the Peak First Level Crystal Formation Realm inconspicuously.
Hence, after he recuperated from his injuries, Ye Yuan chose to break through directly!
The Ye Yuan who had just broken through to the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm had his essence, energy, and spirit reached peak condition, sweeping away the dispiritedness previously.
The body that was initially riddled with injuries by the gale winds was also already completely recovered now.
Those scars on his face had already vanished fully right now, he seemed the same as usual.
But having been through such fierce consumption, Ye Yuan’s Condensed Fragrance Pills and Haste Pills were pretty much all expended entirely.
A Condensed Fragrance Pill was a Tier 3 essence energy recovery medicinal pill. It was unbelievably marvelous, much stronger than ordinary Tier 3 Qi Returning Pill.
If he did not have Condensed Fragrance Pills earlier to replenish essence energy, Ye Yuan would have been caught up by Lan Bao long ago.
It was also relying precisely on the Condensed Fragrance Pills and Haste Pills, these two types of heaven-defying Tier 3 medicinal pills, that Ye Yuan dared to play such a great chasing game with Lan Bao; he won in the end.
