In one exchange, all of Zuo Xiang Capital City’s people fell into immense shock.
He Ning’s expression turned fearful and he said in a solemn voice, “All don’t hide it anymore! Nine Firmament Sword Energy, kill!”
Zuo Xiang Capital City’s group of students cooperated seamlessly. Under He Ning’s command, the within the group battle immediately crisscrossed with sword energy. Rays of terrifying sword energy slashed over toward Ye Yuan.
“Strength isn’t bad! A little interesting!”
Facing the besieging of over a dozen experts, Ye Yuan did not seem to feel taxed. Instead, he appeared to have plenty more to spare.
Zuo Xiang Capital City’s Nine Firmament Sword Energy was indeed very strong. Displaying the move with over a dozen people joining hands, its might was even more unimaginable.
Only such a battle could make Ye Yuan enjoy it.
Those sword after sword of Ye Yuan’s parried seemingly in a careless manner. Actually, each sword contained the sword intent of Sundering Stars inside.
His utilization of Sundering Stars currently was long already not limited to that heaven-shocking chop.
With every movement, releasing and withdrawing as he pleased.
In such a small-scale battle, Ye Yuan practically utilized the sword intent of Sundering Stars to the limits!
It was just that this battle was totally not the case in the view of outsiders.
“He Ning, stop playing! Is it fun to toy with the young man?”
“Haha, you guys have to bring out a bit of strength at any rate. Otherwise, when other people see it, they’ll even think that you guys aren’t a match for a late-stage Grotto Profound!”
“When can your Zuo Xiang Capital City get rid of this bad habit and stop playing cat-and-mouse games?”
Among Zuo Xiang Capital City’s students, they could sense the other parties’ positions through the Nine Firmament Sword Energy.
Hench, each trial, they could virtually find their companions the fastest. They would then regroup into a powerful team to crush the opponent.
It was precisely because of so that their overall strength ranked among the best of these hundred cities.
They also frequently surrounded their opponents and not kill, forcing the other party to crush their own jade pendant.
This was a humiliation toward the opponent and also made many weaker capital cities gnash their teeth in hatred.
This point, Wu Meng Capital City’s disciples felt it the most.
But, no matter how furious they were, no one could do anything to Zuo Xiang Capital City either.
Powerful strength was so capricious.
It was just that this time, it was totally not the case.
He Ning knew his own pain. This Ye Yuan was really powerful to the extreme. The more he fought, the more alarmed he became.
This brat cultivated no idea what kind of heretic martial technique. A casual sword move contained tremendous power, capable of easily breaking their Nine Firmament Sword Energy.
This point, outsiders could not tell at all. Only by feeling it personally could one experience it.
It was precisely because of so that it let everyone mistakenly thought that Zuo Xiang Capital City, these guys’ old habit flared up again, deliberately playing with Ye Yuan.
In reality, it was them who were toyed by Ye Yuan!
Clank!
Suddenly, a clear sound transmitted out. The long sword in a Zuo Xiang Capital City’s disciple’s hands was directly shook to fly out.
And Ye Yuan’s next sword move already slashed over like lightning!
Chapter 1401 - Shaved Bald
Chapter 1401 Shaved Bald
Over a dozen swords stabbed over towards Ye Yuan at the same time. They wanted to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao[1]!
However, it was like Ye Yuan did not see it. The Evil Extermination Sword suddenly accelerated, chopping down with immense speed.
The expression of that Zuo Xiang Capital City’s student changed drastically and knew that there was no more chance of a fluke, crushing the jade pendant and transporting back.
Right at this time, over a dozen long swords arrived!
“Go to hell!”
Currently, Ye Yuan’s move was already ending and he was unable to save himself at all. He Ning could not help being overjoyed when he saw the situation.
But right at this moment, a layer of golden light surfaced on Ye Yuan’s body. The long sword struck back at a strange angle.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Ye Yuan’s long sword swept, sweeping away all of the dozen over swords.
Quick as thought!
The entire process was also nothing more than a flash, fast until everyone did not react to it.
“Nine Transformations Golden Body, first transformation grand completion!” He Ning said in disbelief.
The surrounding students were all incomparably shocked, not daring to believe the scene before their eyes.
“What the hell! They messed up, played their own people to death!”
“Just now, that was … Nine Transformations Golden Body? Isn’t it said that the Nine Transformations Golden Body’s cultivation speed is very slow. Even exceedingly talented people could only have some attainments in 1000 years?”
“This Ye Yuan’s strength is uncommon, he actually still had time to go cultivate the fleshy body?”
“This Ye Yuan is so bizarre! Not only is he completely unscathed under the besieging of over a dozen people, he actually even counter-killed a person instead!”
…
The cultivation of the fleshy body was an extremely slow process. Even with the assistance of medicinal pills, it was also very hard to have some achievements within a short time.
But once they had some achievements, it was rare to have opponents in the same rank!
If one’s strength was not powerful to a certain degree, one could not breach their defenses at all.
Furthermore, the Nine Transformations Golden Body could do what ordinary people could not. One’s control over their bodies could reach an inconceivable degree.
Just now, Ye Yuan’s Sundering Stars had an imposing momentum. If it were others, it would be tremendously difficult to pull back. But he relied on the toughness of the fleshy body and performed the inconceivable action.
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, “Quite interesting, continue!”
Done talking, his long sword swung. Another sword slashed over towards He Ning.
He Ning’s pupils constricted, hurriedly dodging aside.
The group of people fell into a group battle once more.
This time, nobody mocked Ye Yuan anymore.
They discovered that the battle situation was completely different from what they imagined.
Even though Ye Yuan looked to be in perilous danger under over a dozen sword lights, the Zuo Xiang Capital City, these people, always seemed to be lacking a little.
On the contrary, Ye Yuan’s occasionally slashed out sword was accurate and fierce, always throwing one of them into confusion.
Before long, Ye Yuan saw a chance and decisively attacked again!
That Zuo Xiang student’s gaze revealed a look of despair, shattering the jade pendant.
More and more other capital cities’ students gathered around. But the vast Howless Ridge became quieter and quieter.
Time slowly trickled by, Zuo Xiang Capital City’s people became lesser and lesser.
No idea how long had passed either, the people discovered to their shock that Zuo Xiang Capital City was actually only left with three people at goodness knows when!
“What happened? Why do I clearly feel that Ye Yuan isn’t very formidable, but he can finish off Zuo Xiang Capital City’s people?” asked an outer-court disciple to the person next to him somewhat woodenly.
“His sword art seems to be average. Actually, he suppressed the power of laws to a very small range. Only by coming into contact with his sword can one sense the might of his
sword arts! Although his realm isn’t high, even though the power of laws of Sword Dao first-layered heaven hasn’t reached grand completion yet, his utilization of the power of laws already reached the acme of perfection!” at this time, someone beside him suddenly explained.
“Then, how did you tell?”
But this time, that person no longer answered him.
He turned his head around rather curiously, his gaze suddenly turning intent.
“Jin … Jin Yu!”
Hundred Cities’ number one person, Jin Yu!
He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually called down this great god too.
Jin Yu’s gaze never left Ye Yuan’s body for an instant.
A surge of powerful fighting intent rose from his body!
“Heh, looks like this time, Zuo Xiang Capital City has utterly stumbled! Jin Yu, you’re moved!” Another voice was heard.
The gaze of that person previously turned intent again as he cried out in shock, “Qiu Shuisheng!”
These two people were both the pinnacle-most existences among the hundred cities. It was said that their power of laws were already comprehended to the grand completion realm of second-layered heaven!
In Grotto Profound Realm, they did not have opponents at all!
Jin Yu did not turn back and just said coolly, “Didn’t you come too?”
“Heh, I really didn’t plan on coming. Originally, I thought that it was just a clown seeking popularity by saying something sensational. In the end, I still couldn’t resist my curiosity. It’s just that, didn’t expect that this visit was an eye-opener!” Qiu Shuisheng said with a light laugh.
“Are you going? Or me?” Jin Yu said coolly.
“Do you have assurance?” Qiu Shuisheng answered with a question.
Jin Yu slowly shook his head and said, “Will only know after fighting.”
Qiu Shuisheng smiled and said, “Since you came, you go then! If you can’t even beat, then I’m pretty sure I can’t win.”
Jin Yu said nonchalantly, “Alright!”
These two people chipped in a word each, already directly casting that student who asked questions previously to one side.
His heart was gasping with astonishment listening by the side. Jin Yu was known as the hundred cities’ number one person. Even he actually did not have assurance in dealing with Ye Yuan!
He finally knew where Ye Yuan’s confidence in setting up the arena lay!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Ye Yuan released three sword moves consecutively as fast as lightning, sealing off all of He Ning’s escape routes.
He Ning’s countenance was greatly shocked, carrying intense unwillingness and crushing the jade pendant!
At this point, the Zuo Xiang Capital City was completely wiped out!
Ye Yuan fought the Zuo Xiang Capital City’s 15 people with his power alone and slew all of them!
If not for the jade pendants’ transportation, none of these 15 people could be spared.
The previous period’s top ten, the Zuo Xiang Capital City, was actually shaved bald this time. This result shocked everyone until their jaws dropped.
Ye Yuan casually beckoned. A hundred storage rings landed on his hand.
He examined these storage rings, a ray of light flashing in his eyes.
The Zuo Xiang Capital City was indeed well-deserving of being a major force ranked in the top ten. The harvest was plentiful!
Ye Yuan put these storage rings away. Surveying the surroundings, he said coolly, “Who else? You guys can also attack together!”
One sentence immediately ignited everyone’s fury.
These words were too arrogant, not taking them seriously at all!
It was just that now, all of them knew that Ye Yuan had this strength and confidence!
He was arrogant because he had the capital to be arrogant!
“He’s just alone! Right now, we have several hundred people here! Everybody attack! I don’t believe that he can deal with it! Finish him off, everyone can divide the storage rings with individual ability!”
At this time, someone suddenly shouted loudly, immediately making everyone’s heart stir.
But right at this time, Jin Yu moved!
His figure shook, already arriving opposite of Ye Yuan, saying indifferently, “I’m first! If I’m defeated, it’s not late for you guys to go again!”
Ye Yuan looked at Jin Yu rather surprisedly and said with a smile, “Looks like you’re very powerful. What’s your name?”
[1] Idiom that references Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Relieve the besieged by besieging the besiegers.
Chapter 1402 - Battling Hundred Cities“ Number One Person!
Chapter 1402 Battling Hundred Cities“ Number One Person!
“He actually doesn’t know Jin Yu!”
“Did this guy … pop out of a rock? These hundred over cities’ people, there’s actually still someone who doesn’t know Jin Yu!”
“If say who has the greatest hopes of reaching the Divine Lord Realm in these hundred cities, it’s none other than Jin Yu. There’s actually someone who doesn’t know him!”
Ye Yuan’s question made everyone burst into an uproar.
They were unable to imagine that there was actually still someone taking part in this Hundred Cities Smelting Trial who did not know Jin Yu.
Qiu Shuisheng was first stunned, then immediately laughed in spite of himself and said, “Perhaps this is precisely why he’s powerful!”
Jin Yu was also stupefied and blurted out, “You don’t know me?”
Ye Yuan also saw through from other people’s reactions. This Jin Yu did not seem to be simple. He could not help chuckling and said, “Apologies, this one entered the sect for a short time and really never heard of your esteemed self’s great name before.”
Jin Yu’s actions were worthy to be called above board and forthright, not willing to take advantage of him.
Toward such an opponent, Ye Yuan was still respectful.
Especially under this situation, storage rings affected the ownership of the final reward.
But the other party clearly regarded a good opponent more highly!
Jin Yu nodded his head, considered to have acknowledged Ye Yuan’s argument, and said, “This one is Yong Dang Capital City, Jin Yu!”
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, “So, it’s Brother Jin! Make your move then!”
Jin Yu said, “You just went through a big fight, better take a break first and recover some divine essence!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “No need, those few guys were too weak.”
Jin Yu’s heart went cold and actually could not figure out the truth and falsehood of Ye Yuan’s words for a moment.
Was this guy posturing, or he really did not expend much energy?
This battle just now, if it were him, he could naturally accomplish with ease too. But he absolutely would not say this kind of words.
After all, He Ning, this level of expert, his strength was still very strong.
Moreover, there were still 14 other Zuo Xiang Capital City’s experts.
It was just that Ye Yuan’s words, in other people’s view, were undeniably him posturing.
“I admit that this guy is very strong. But saying this kind of words in front of the hundred cities’ number one person, Jin Yu, I seriously can’t listen any further.”
“This guy wants to keep up appearance to cover up his predicament, right?! Mn, at least if he loses, he can also say that he went through a big fight earlier! Huhu!”
“He completely doesn’t know who Jin Yu is, and he also doesn’t know how powerful Jin Yu’s strength is. He Ning isn’t worth mentioning at all in front of Jin Yu! This guy is too condescending!”
…
How could they know that while that battle earlier looked fierce, Ye Yuan’s expenditure was actually really not that much.
Although Ye Yuan was unrestrained, wanting to challenge the hundred cities’ geniuses with his strength alone, he st
ill attached great importance to tactics, and did not underestimate the hundred cities’ geniuses!
To him, the final result was secondary. What he valued the most was the interaction with these hundred cities’ geniuses.
Hence, that battle earlier, he actually fought very conservatively. Each fraction of divine essence was carefully calculated.
Coupled with that his divine essence was incomparably refined in the first place, this degree of battle was nothing to him.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s calm eyes, Jin Yu nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, make your move then!”
Ye Yuan did an inviting gesture, the Evil Extermination Sword suddenly attacking!
Sundering Stars!
Although it was Sundering Stars back and forth, this move had countless variations played by Ye Yuan.
This time, Ye Yuan did a lifting action, going from bottom to top, cleaving Jin Yu.
Attacks from this angle were very hard to defend.
Jin Yu’s expression turned solemn, instantly sensing that this sword’s intensity was no idea how much stronger compared to dealing with He Ning just now.
He did not dare to slight it. A beautiful tumble to the side, his long sword already attacked.
However, this sword of Jin Yu’s was a straight stab, pointing at the flat of Ye Yuan’s blade from the flank with a bizarre angle.
Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up, instantly knowing that he ran into an expert!
Jin Yu’s comprehension toward battle was no idea how many times stronger than He Ning.
Martial artists’ battles, even when reaching Deity Realm this level, it was not simply relative superiority or inferiority in power of laws and realm.
It was just that powerful strength often made people neglect some subtle things.
A battle constantly changed. Oftentimes, a ninor detail could determine the outcome of a battle.
Ye Yuan had experienced god knows how many big and small battles, and had long already turned fighting into an instinct.
Hence, he could grasp every detail to win.
The battles that these academies’ geniuses had experienced were not few either. It was just that their battles were a completely different concept from the battles that Ye Yuan experienced.
