Ye Yuan was stunned and asked, "What did he say about me?"
"You're a freak! Freak! Freak!"
It was rare for Nanfeng Zhirou to acknowledge something Su Yishan said because each and everything that happened on Ye Yuan's body could not be described using the word 'normal,' so it could only be described using 'freak.'
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "How rare for Su Yishan's appraisal of me to be so high. In order to thank him, I'll give him a chance to fight fairly!"
Nanfeng Zhirou was greatly startled when she heard that and quickly said, "You aren't really going to go one-on-one with him, right? You just broke through! With Yuan Fei and me around, you don't have to be swayed by personal feelings!"
The meaning of that was that Ye Yuan was obviously not Su Yishan's match.
Nanfeng Zhirou's thinking was not wrong. Although she knew that Ye Yuan was very strong and he was surely even more impressive after breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, he had just broken through after all, and Su Yishan was three minor realms higher than him. This distance could not be compensated so easily.
Nanfeng Zhirou knew that after the Spirit Condensation Realm, jumping ranks to battle would be even more difficult because the disparity between each minor realm was even greater.
A three spirit liquid drops First Level Spirit Condensation Realm and a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm who likewise condensed three spirit liquid drops, there was a whole three spirit liquid drops difference between them. That also meant that the difference in essence energy quantity between them was 100%!
It was very hard to compensate for this sort of disparity without heaven-defying methods!
Between Ye Yuan and Su Yishan, there was a full three minor realms gap between them. There was even a minor stage in-between.
The disparity in-between was too big!
Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Relax, I know what I'm doing."
Right then, Su Yishan also slowly awakened.
Seeing Ye Yuan's currently sizing him up with ill intentions, his heart shivered for no reason.
"Come on, Su Yishan! I said that I'll give you the chance to duel me. Now, let's carry out a one-on-one deathmatch!" Ye Yuan's words carried an imposing air as if he showed disdain on everyone.
"You . . . You really want to go one-on-one with me?" Su Yishan clearly also did not dare to believe it.
Ye Yuan's advantage over here was too clear. There was simply no need to do this sort of foolish thing.
"What? You're unwilling?" Ye Yuan's tone turned icy.
"Willing! Of course I'm willing!" Su Yishan hurriedly responded.
At this point, he already had no choice. Since Ye Yuan himself was being stupid, then wouldn't he be as dumb as Ye Yuan if he did not grasp this opportunity well?
It was just that he was worried Ye Yuan merely only using him to measure his strength, and he would still make Yuan Fei kill him in the end.
If it were him, he would definitely do that.
"You don't have to worry; Yuan Fei and Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng won't attack! As long as you can kill me, you can leave this place. I'll make Yuan Fei hold back Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng and not let her attack," Ye Yuan saw through Su Yishan's concerns and said calmly.
"Ye Yuan, you!" Nanfeng Zhirou immediately jumped up but was held back by Yuan Fei.
Su Yishan could not help becoming ecstatic when he saw this scene.
These few days had been too aggrieved for him. Having lived for nearly twenty years, he had never suffered such injustice before!
"Haha . . . Ye Yuan, you asked for it yourself, then don't blame me for not holding back! You aren't naïve enough to think that you're really my match after just breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, right? One-on-one isn't the time for being a training partner anymore!" Su Yishan laughed madly.
Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "So much crap. Come on!"
"You're courting death, Ye Yuan!" Su Yishan gritted his teeth and attacked Ye Yuan with a punch.
If in the past, Ye Yuan would definitely evade this punch at the first moment. But now, Ye Yuan did not run or dodge, he directly struck out with an Eighth Layer Wave. The two of them clashed together!
Rumble!
After an intense collision, the pair each retreated several steps.
An incredulous shock was written all over Su Yishani's face. "Didn't you just broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm? How can you be this strong?!"
Chapter 155 - Venting Emotions!
Su Yishan was all too familiar with Ye Yuan's moves!
Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eighth Layered Wave!
But the question was how could the Eighth Layered Wave have such incredible power?
It was actually not at a disadvantage when clashing with his palm!
No matter how strong the Eighth Layered Wave was, it was just a Tier 1 martial technique.
Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. A First Level Spirit Condensation Realm using a Tier 1 martial technique could actually have a draw with a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist like him?
Since when were Tier 1 martial techniques so powerful?
Since when were First Level Spirit Condensation Realms so strong?
Ye Yuan curled his lips and said with disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, "Indeed, Tier 1 martial techniques are no longer suitable!"
Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Apart from the movement technique Spirit Void Shattering Space, all his martial techniques including the Absolute Yang Finger were all Tier 1 martial techniques.
Using a Tier 1 martial technique to battle a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was clearly not quite enough.
That clash just now looked to be evenly-matched, but in reality, he was at a clear disadvantage.
The impact Ye Yuan suffered was much greater than Su Yishan's. The distance he retreated was also farther.
Nanfeng Zhirou also had her mouth wide open when she saw this scene and no longer struggled in Yuan Fei's arms.
It was very clear that this scene gave her a similarly huge shock.
Even though that palm from Su Yishan just now was not his strongest move, he did not hold back any strength.
Middle-rank Tier 2 martial technique plus Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength; no matter how one looked at it, the outcome should be Ye Yuan heavily injured and puking blood. However, Ye Yuan merely moved back a few steps.
Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly thought of something and asked out loud, "Ye Yuan, just how many drops of spirit liquid did you condense?"
With Nanfeng Zhirou asking, Su Yishan also perked up his ears. He was also very curious whether it was seven drops or eight drops.
Ye Yuan did not turn his head back and just said casually, "Nine drops."
Su Yishan's eyes popped out. "Ni-nine drops? Impossible! How can there possibly be a person who can condense out nine spirit liquid drops in this world and not have their dantian burst?"
Ye Yuan said calmly, "You don't know, doesn't mean that there isn't. The State of Qin is merely a small place. You are but a frog at the bottom of a well."
"What kind of joke is this? I don't believe it! Frog at the bottom of a well? You said it like you aren't someone from the State of Qin! Haha, I know, you must have only condensed seven drops and want to make yourself look good. Either that or you're trying to shake my state of mind!"
Not that Su Yishan was unwilling to believe, but because nine spirit liquid drops were truly even more mythical than legends. The way he perceived it, it was completely impossible to appear.
And yet, Ye Yuan said he condensed nine spirit liquid drops, shattering the absolute of Su Yishan's knowledge. Hence, he chose to not believe.
But deep down inside, a discordant voice was telling Su Yishan that what Ye Yuan said was true!
Otherwise, how could one explain why Ye Yuan could pair a Tier 1 martial technique with his First Level Spirit Condensation Re
alm and be equally matched with him?
Even though Su Yishan had never seen seven spirit liquid drops martial artists, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for seven spirit liquid drops martial artists to possess such a powerful strength!
That was to say, Ye Yuan condensed at least eight spirit liquid drops, maybe even the nine drops which Su Yishan was reluctant to admit!
"I was just stating a fact, not to make you believe it. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not; the outcome won't change," Ye Yuan said indifferently.
"Humph! I don't believe you then! No matter how monstrous you are, you're just at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Can you oppose the heaven?" Su Yishan said indignantly.
After that, Su Yishan rushed forward and collided together with Ye Yuan.
The pair's movement techniques were quick to the extreme. They turned into two streaks of afterimages and clashed together non-stop. In a blink, they had crossed over a dozen exchanges!
Su Yishan's movement technique goes without saying. He also trained in a high-grade Tier 2 movement technique, not at all inferior to Nanfeng Zhirou's Spirit Swallow Dance!
However, after Ye Yuan broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm and had the support of immense essence energy, the true might of the first stage of the Spirit Void Shattering Space also emerged!
His speed was actually even slightly faster than Su Yishan!
Outsiders could not tell, but Su Yishan's senses were incomparably clear.
Just because of that tiny bit, his attack was forever half a beat slower than Ye Yuan's. This also resulted in him being unable to unleash his full power each time.
Ye Yuan's Eighth Layer Wave and Absolute Yang Finger were Tier 1 martial techniques with tremendous power. Especially the Absolute Yang Finger, its power could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as it was during the Essence Qi Realm.
While it could not cause real harm to Su Yishan, it made him unable to leave it unrestrained.
Ye Yuan made use of this half a beat advantage coupled with the powerful might of the Absolute Yang Finger and the Eighth Layered Wave to forcefully fight Su Yishan to a draw!
This sort of feeling made Su Yishan so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
Currently, he was somewhat regretting playing such large stakes with Ye Yuan. He should have used his most powerful move right from the start and fight Ye Yuan to the death.
Under the current situation, it was no longer possible even if he wanted to withdraw from the fight.
It was like Ye Yuan went mad. He pestered him dead from the start till the end without giving him any chance to catch his breath.
"Damn it! To think that his movement technique is so strong. I fell for his trick!" Su Yishan silently cursed as he dealt with things.
His present thoughts were very simple. To find a chance to break free from the battle and then unleash a big move!
However, Ye Yuan just refused to give him this chance.
The current Ye Yuan was like an old bull which did not know fatigue. All his moves 'greeted' Su Yishan's body like a raging tempest.
Having just parted forever with his father, Ye Yuan's heart carried boundless grief. He turned this sorrow into battle power and unleashed it all on Su Yishan's body!
The current Su Yishan was just the target to vent the emotions in his heart.
Just like this, the two of them exchange over a hundred rounds in a hundred breaths of time!
Boom!
Another clash, but this time the pair separated.
Ye Yuan finally gave up his entanglement with Su Yishan. The negative emotions in his heart were almost vented finish.
After pulling apart, the pair were panting heavily. Clearly, such high-frequency clashes were very taxing on their stamina and essence energy.
After panting a few times, Su Yishan recovered first. He said furiously to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, don't think that you're very impressive just because your movement technique is fast! If you have the capability, try breaking apart this move of mine for me to see!"
Finishing, Su Yishan raised both palms towards the skies. It was precisely the starting motion of the Heaven Flipping Palm!
Su Yishan was already at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Displaying the Heaven Flipping Palm right now could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as back in the academy!
An astonishing aura undulated out. It actually made people feel that the sky was rent asunder and the earth was split open.
Ye Yuan breathed in deeply and recollected his feelings. He took out the Canghua Sword and said lightly, "The warmup exercise is already done. Now, I'll send you on your way with the Nine Swords Stance which was completed because of you guys' assassination!"
Finishing, his silhouette split, and nine Ye Yuans appeared in front of Su Yishan's eyes.
Su Yishan's pupils involuntarily shrunk when he saw the situation. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually still hiding such a formidable move!
Chang One's fight only lasted for an instant. Back then, he was battling with Nanfeng Zhirou and did not witness how Ye Yuan avoided the assassination.
Also, during the subsequent spars, Ye Yuan did not use this move either.
No matter how one looked at this, the nine silhouettes gave Su Yishan an enormous shock!
Chapter 156 - Divine Soul Mystic Art!
A terrifying sword intent similarly undulated out, clashing with Su Yishan's aura. It was actually not at a disadvantage at all.
Su Yishan had an extremely strong impression of this sword intent.
Back then, for Liu Ruoshui, Su Yishan was put into a sorry state by Ye Yuan. It was due to being struck by this sword intent.
However, the current Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art could not be mentioned in the same breath as it originally was anymore.
Ye Yuan's sword intent realm was exceedingly high. It was just that he did not have the essence energy to match it.
The Ye Yuan today had already broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm and condensed nine spirit liquid drops. Displaying the might of the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art would naturally be several levels higher than what it was in the Essence Qi Realm!
Ye Yuan no longer lined up in a straight line when he executed the Nine Swords Stance this time, but instead, it was nine disorganized figures.
After the Nine Swords Stance was completed, Ye Yuan could already freely display these nine silhouettes and also freely control the timing of releasing the sword beams.
This way, the might of the Nine Swords Stance would be much greater.
The sword beams released by the nine disorderly silhouettes would be much harder to defend than if they lined up in a row.
Also, Ye Yuan now could freely adjust the entire sword beam releasing duration according to the opponent's situation.
This alteration in rhythm was the hardest to be on guard against.
If the opponent was not overwhelmingly more powerful than Ye Yuan, then how could they defend the second sword beam when they had just blocked one sword beam and not mustered up new strength?
This was the greatest aspect of this Nine Swords Stance that Ye Yuan created!
Powerful sword intent synchronizing with multi-varied attacks could let Ye Yuan's power soar once again!
Su Yishan instinctively sensed that things were not right. But right now, it was like a notched arrow that had to be released.
Since he could not differentiate which was Ye Yuan's true body, he would just directly sweep across with the wind from his palm!
With his powerful strength of Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he would directly crush Ye Yuan!
Even if Ye Yuan had condensed nine spirit liquid drops, the disparity between them was still enormous. If he did not make good use of this advantage, then he would have completely no chance of victory at all today.
The Heaven Flipping Palm by itself held incredible power. Among the Su Family's Tier 2 martial techniqu
es, it was also a pinnacle existence.
After breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, Su Yishan had faith that he could rely on the Heaven Flipping Palm to crush Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists!
Su Yishan was indeed a genius. He also had rich experience in being in critical situations and was not those sort of flowers which grew up in a greenhouse.
But sadly . . . he met Ye Yuan!
Just as he was prepared to release the Heaven Flipping Palm, his brain suddenly blanked out. His divine soul sunk into a disoriented and hazy state!
However, Su Yishan rapidly regained consciousness.
Except that when experts exchange blows, that split second of delay was ample to cause lethality.
The nine sword beams whistled out and arrived in front of Su Yishan dazzlingly. Su Yishan only regained consciousness at this time. It was already too late to want to circulate his strength to defend.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Nine sword beams struck Su Yishan's body solidly and instantly broke his protective essence energy, destroying his internal organs.
What happened . . . This was the last thought that went through Su Yishan's mind. But he would never know.
Nanfeng Zhirou swallowed hard and felt somewhat parched.
What in the world happened just now? She also really wanted to know.
At that final moment just now, Su Yishan clearly hesitated for a bit. Just that short moment cost him his life.
But in that sort of life and death juncture, why would he waver? Was this any different from suiciding?
Nanfeng Zhirou knew that it was definitely something Ye Yuan did. But she did not know what method he used.
Speaking of which, after Su Yishan broke through in cultivation realm, he was actually already on par with her. Ye Yuan could kill Su Yishan, so he naturally also had the ability to kill her.
Nanfeng Zhirou unwittingly thought back to two months ago, that scene where she almost killed Ye Yuan.
Just two months and he already caught up, even surpassed her?
To think that she, Nanfeng Zhirou, had always boasted she was a genius. But in front of Ye Yuan, she was nothing!
