Even the Sea Transformation Realm Wang Fan and Mei Zhen were unable to see through Li-er and Yan-er's strength. One could see just how powerful they were.
So when Ye Yuan saved them both, master and servant, Li-er was still alright, but Yan-er did not welcome it at all.
One had to say that she was even more curious that a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist actually rescued them master and servant without any traces from a bunch of Sea Transformation Realm and Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.
But after Ye Yuan perceived Li-er's ailment, Yan-er's thoughts were completely turned around.
"It's fine. If Mister Ye is really in danger, I'll make a move in time. Our identities are special. We mustn't make a move easily unless there are no other alternatives. Moreover, I also really want to see just where Mister Ye's limit lies," Li-er said composedly.
But Yan-er was not very supportive as she said, "I know that Mister Ye is kind of special, but what kind of limits can a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist reach even if he's strong?"
Li-er broke into a smile, her beauty unequaled. "That might not be so! I keep feeling that he's extraordinary!"
"Alright, alright! Ever since that person left, it's rare to see Miss pay so much attention to something. Do whatever that makes you happy then!"
Yan-er realized that she misspoke after she finished talking and involuntarily stuck her tongue out playfully, appearing embarrassed.
A hint of sorrow flickered across Li-er's beautiful eyes. She shot Yan-er a fierce glare and no longer bothered with her.
. . . . . .
Mei Zhen gave Ye Yuan a glance and gritted his teeth as he said to Wang Fan, "Since that's the case, then let's fight to the bitter end!"
Wang Fan was confused and even thought that he heard wrongly.
He looked at Mei Zhen and the other Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples and saw that their faces actually revealed resolved looks!
Mei Zhen actually wanted to turn violent without even thinking?
One had to know that even though their High Clarity Sect lost two Crystal Formation Realm disciples, the power of Sea Transformation Realm was not something that Crystal Formation Realm martial artists could resist!
Were this group of people from the Tranquil Cloud Sect daft? Everyone did not want their lives anymore for a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm?
Wang Fan was completely ignorant of Ye Yuan's significance to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
Chapter 303 - Very Foolish, Very Naïve?
"I'll delay them. Yuntian, you quickly bring them away!" Mei Zhen drew his sword and said without even turning his head back.
Evidently, he already harbored the resolution to die and protect the others' retreat!
In Mei Zhen's heart, these disciples were all the sect's future. Any one of them was more important than him.
He was only a sect elder without much room for improvement anymore, while these disciples were going to cause a stir in Southern Domain in the future!
Ye Yuan was rather overcome with emotion when he saw such a situation. Although the Tranquil Cloud Sect's strength was not great, their cohesiveness was very strong.
The Tranquil Cloud Sect had people like Luo Qingfeng, Xiao Jian, and Mei Zhen. What was there to worry about not being able to charge back to the Northern Domain?
It was fine if the sect declined. As long as the peoples' hearts did not scatter, there would eventually come a day where they would shine once again!
"The High Clarity Sect is a bunch of motley crew; why is there a need to fight to the death?" Ye Yuan smiled calmly and wielded Canghua Sword with a wave of his hands.
Once Wang Fan saw the Canghua Sword, the greed in his eyes could not be concealed anymore. "32 restrictions spirit artifact!"
"Hur hur, Senior Mountain Shaker's eyes are pretty good," Ye Yuan mocked.
"Haha, misfortune may actually be a blessing! Losing a stalk of Crow Orchid Ganoderma but acquiring a 32 restrictions spirit artifact, Heaven really treats me well!" Wang Fan cackled.
Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Don't crack your old teeth!"
"Humph! Razor-tongued brat. Watch if old me don't take apart your bones today!" Wang Fan snorted coldly.
Mei Zhen panicked in his heart when he saw Ye Yuan not leaving and said, "Ye Yuan, you guys quickly go! They have two Sea Transformation Realm experts. You all staying is courting death!"
"Go? Can you leave?"
How could Wang Fan give him the opportunity? With a wave of his hands, his disciples encircled the Tranquil Cloud Sect team.
Mei Zhen was exasperated that they failed to live up to his expectation when he saw the situation and said angrily, "You guys! Sigh!"
But Ye Yuan had a nonchalant look as he transmitted his voice, saying, "Calm down, Elder Mei Zhen, just keeping watching."
"Sigh! Ye Yuan, I know that you're relying on that this place doesn't allow the existence of strength above the Crystal Formation Realm. But even if it's peak Crystal Formation Realm, you're also not a match!" Mei Zhen sighed.
Ye Yuan smirked and said, "Not necessarily!"
Ye Yuan took a step forward and said to Wang Fan, "Senior Mountain Shaker, aren't you just trying to find trouble with me? How about this, let's have a 1-on-1! If you win, this sword is yours, and I'll be at your mercy. If you lose, let us leave!"
Wang Fan was stunned when he heard this. A Spirit Condensation Realm challenging a Sea Transformation Realm?
Just now, he was still thinking that this boy was rather abnormal. Now, it looks like he was simply a moron!
Wang Fan did not even speak yet when Mei Zhen involuntarily became very anxious and said, "How can that do?! Wang Fan, I'll duel with you!"
But Wang Fan ignored Mei Zhen and guffawed loudly as he said, "Boy, did your brain crash from fear? 1-on-1 with me? You aren't thinking that you're invincible because you're holding a 32 restrictions spirit artifact, right?"
When he said this, the High Clarity Side laughed unceasingly.
"Haha, so hilarious! I've grown so old, and this is still the first time that I'm hearing a Spirit Condensation Realm challenging a Sea Transformation Realm!"
"Did the brains of Tranquil Cloud Sect's upper echelons go bad? They actually handed a 32 restrictions spirit artifact to a fool like this!"
"Hur hur, they are teeming with spirit artifacts and came to deliver a spirit artifact to Elder Wang. Do you want to stop them?"
The group chimed in here and there and burst into laughter again.
But Ye Yuan did not smile. His eyes were staunch as he said to Mei Zhen, "Elder Mei, just leave this place to me. You bring the seniors and retreat to the side."
Seeing Ye Yuan's commanding gaze, not knowing why, Mei Zhen swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
"Then . . . Then you better be more careful!" Mei Zhen unexpectedly agreed.
This whole trip, Ye Yuan had already unknowingly replaced Mei Zhen's position, and became the backbone of this trip for the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
Even Mei Zhen was unconsciously influenced too.
Having convinced Mei Zhen, Ye Yuan turned to Wang Fan and said, "How is it? Do you dare?"
Wang Fan ridiculed when he saw the situation, "Don't look at me with those eyes, I'll really be a little scared! But . . . since you're so sincere, wouldn't I be too unamenable to not agree?"
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard this and said, "Senior Mountain Shaker's true color indeed doesn't change. Your skin is as thick as always!"
Wang Fan was already used to Ye Yuan's tone and knew that he could not beat him in a contention of tongues, so he might as well not argue.
He looked at Canghua Sword in Ye Yuan's hands, his gaze sparkling.
"Don't say that I'm bullying you! I'll only use 10% of my strength to fight with you. If you can beat me, then consider it your win!" Wang Fan said with a cold smile.
This was not Wang Fan boasting. He was at the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm. Even 10% of his
strength was greater than ordinary Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realms!
Such strength was plenty to deal with a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm boy!
If he were dealing with Mei Zhen, he would really need to fight seriously.
But his opponent was Ye Yuan. Wang Fan honestly could not attach any importance to this.
Even if he knew that Ye Yuan surely had areas where he excelled in, the enormous disparity in realms was simply insurmountable.
Even if his opponent were a Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he would win with certainty.
As for dealing with a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm . . . there was basically no suspense, right?
At this time, Wang Fan had the thought of playing cat and mouse.
But Ye Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard him and said elatedly, "You said it! Don't regret it when the time comes! You said you'll only use 10% strength!"
Wang Fan became even more amused when he saw Ye Yuan's appearance and deliberately assumed an expert's demeanor, saying, "I'm a dignified High Clarity Sect elder. Why would I renege on my word against a puny Spirit Condensation Realm? You can rest assured. I said 10% means it's 10%!"
The people from the High Clarity Sect were whispering to each other on this side, full of pity towards Ye Yuan.
"This fool, he isn't naïve enough to think that he can win just because Elder Wang is only using 10% of his strength, right?"
"You look at his thrilled appearance, he definitely thinks so! When he experiences 10% of Elder Wang's strength in a while, he'll probably even have the intent to die, right?"
"Hehe, there's a good show to watch! I really can't figure out why the Tranquil Cloud Sect would send such a fool to the mystic realm."
The negotiations were set. Both parties each withdrew a distance away, clearing out a space for Ye Yuan and Wang Fan's face off.
Both parties stood there. Ye Yuan suddenly cracked a smile again and said, "Senior Mountain Shaker, help someone all the way! Why not you allow me a move too, how about that?"
Wang Fan's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Ye Yuan disdainfully and said calmly, "Forget about one move. How about I allow you ten moves?"
Ye Yuan grinned and said, "No need, no need. Why would I need so many? Just one move is ample!"
Ye Yuan's display incurred another bout of mocking laughter. Even Yan-er who was hiding secretly could not help having suspicions about Ye Yuan's I.Q.
"Miss, I always felt that Mister Ye was a wise person. But looking at it now, why does he seem very foolish and very naïve? The other person is a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm expert. Forget about allowing him one move, even if he stood there unmoving, Mister Ye's attack might not be able to penetrate his protective essence energy, right?" Yan-er said.
Li-er likewise had a doubtful look. But since Ye Yuan was not in danger, she also played along with him. "Watch a little longer. I feel that Mister Ye is not somebody who is foolish."
Chapter 304 - Goodbye, Not Seeing You Out!
Mo Yuntian looked at Ye Yuan with scorching eyes. Only he knew Ye Yuan's greatest trump card in here!
After Ye Yuan entered the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he had never exposed his strongest trump card before.
Mo Yuntian knew that Ye Yuan was deliberately appearing weak to the enemy in order to win with one blow.
But the problem was, would Wang Fan really stand there honestly and wait for Ye Yuan to release a mighty blow?
That was a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm expert; an existence who could instantly wipe out Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists with a wave of his hands!
Wang Fan was not some rookie martial artist like Yao Qian. His combat strength was more than a level greater than Yao Qian's.
Where did Ye Yuan's confidence come from?
But the matter was already done. Thinking too much would not help. If Ye Yuan could not take him down, at the very most, everyone just fought to the death.
"Senior Mountain Shaker, are you ready? I'm attacking!" Ye Yuan purposely shouted.
"Attack then. Why would I need to prepare to deal with you?" Wang Fan scoffed.
"Hur hur, since that's the case, then I won't be courteous. Senior Mountain Shaker, please receive this move!"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan became solemn. Canghua Sword pointed at Wang Fan. The surrounding heaven and earth essence energy immediately produced a faint fluctuation!
Wang Fan was initially still relaxed with a laid-back appearance. Sensing this sort of situation, his heart involuntarily jolted.
"It's not so sinister, right? Why would there be heaven and earth essence energy undulations? Could it be this boy's sword move?" Wang Fan secretly pondered.
Sea Transformation Realm experts' were much more s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to heaven and earth essence energy ripples than those Crystal Formation Realms experts. That was why the other disciples had not reacted yet.
When the High Clarity Sect disciples saw Ye Yuan put on a stance but there was no movement at all, there was another wave of mockery.
"Is this guy a joke sent by monkeys? Putting on a false front to scare a Sea Transformation Realm expert?"
"Haha, Elder Wang is also very happy from playing. This mystic realm is so dangerous; relieving a little is good too."
"This fellow finally managed to win over the offensive and wasted it like this. Indeed, there are fools every year, but this year is especially plentiful!"
"All shut up for me! The few of you are the fools!" Yu Feng's heart also kept drumming. He seriously could not listen anymore; hence, he asked them to stop.
Those disciples could not help being befuddled. They could not figure out why Elder Yu looked like he was confronted by a powerful enemy.
But they understood very quickly!
The heaven and earth essence energy undulations became increasingly stronger, gradually forming countless motes of light in midair. They looked like flowers raining down from the skies!
Wang Fan stared until his eyes became wide saucers!
How could such a horrifying sword move appear on a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist?
Also, why could a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist mobilize heaven and earth essence energy? Wasn't this ability unique to Sea Transformation Realm experts?
Although this move did not finish forming yet, Wang Fan dared to confirm that once this move was completed, it could absolutely cause tremendous injury to him!
A Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists could hurt a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist. What kind of joke was this?
. . . . . .
In the hidden place, when Li-er and Yan-er saw this scene, their faces similarly changed drastically; the astoundment in their hearts could not be any greater!
Except, the reason for their astonishment was completely different from Wang Fan. Others could not see through the realm of this move from Ye Yuan, but Li-er and Yan-er could understand!
"Supreme true intent! Miss, is that . . . is that . . . supreme true intent?"
Yan-er cried out in shock first, then was somewhat uncertain towards the end.
How could something like supreme true intent appear on a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist?
Li-er's beautiful eyes wandered, shock likewise written all over her face. She only s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath after a long while and replied Yan-er, "It's indeed the elementary form of supreme true intent! This sword move already took the form of power, showing that his comprehension towards supreme true intent has already taken not a small step! If Mister Ye and that person's cultivation realm was similar, no, as long as he has late-stage Crystal Formation strength, instantly killing that person is not an issue!"
There was an extremely huge gap between Crystal Formation Realm and Sea Transformation Realm. One could see how high Li-er's appraisal of Ye Yuan was.
"But, Mister Ye is only at the Spirit Condensation Realm. How can he grasp supreme true intent?" Yan-er still felt that she did not dare quite
believe it.
Li-er sighed and said, "I guessed that Mister Ye surely had some trump card, but I didn't think that his trump card was actually a supreme true intent! This trump card is too unexpected! Mister Ye, he . . . will definitely be a figure who shakes the Divine Realm in the future!"
In the era where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, supreme true intent was the paramount profound meaning!
The earlier one grasped supreme true intent, the more supreme true intents one could grasp. The greater the accomplishments of the martial artist as well.
But even among the Divine Realm's major factions, it was already pretty impressive for those peerless geniuses to be able to comprehend the elementary form of supreme true intent in the Sea Transformation Realm. It was unheard of for Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists to be able to comprehend the elementary form of supreme true intent!
. . . . . .
The spots of light filling the skies caused everyone's hearts to palpitate, especially those from the High Clarity Sect.
They only knew now that they were the clowns!
Just this move was sufficient to instantly kill any one beneath Sea Transformation Realm!
"Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, Thousand Flowing Petals, attack!"
With a light cry from Ye Yuan, countless petals swept over towards Wang Fan.
How could Wang Fan bother with whatever conduct of an expert right now? The petals-filled skies sealed all of his escape routes shut. If he still did not make a move, it would at the very least be the outcome of heavily wounded.
10% strength? Screw his mother's 10% strength!
Wang Fan used his fingers as a sword, activating the High Clarity Imperial Reverence Law. He bellowed, "Five Lighting Dipper Law! Break for me!"
Only to see electric arcs pervading around Wang Fan. The aura belonging to a Sea Transformation Realm was exhibited beyond doubt!
When the floating petals touched those electric arcs, they vanished abruptly with any traces. It actually could not approach his body.
Wang Fan sneered and said, "Boy, you really have some capabilities! If your realm is similar to mine, this move is sufficient to instantly kill me. But sadly, I won't give you this chance!"
