The numbers in the six sects were a bit lesser than before. This naturally affirmed Ye Yuan's guesses.
Wu Zhao's expression was very ugly. He was so angry that his complexion turned green.
He knew that he offended the other sects while he was inside the grand array. That was why he said that they did not want any of the items.
But he clearly underestimated the severity of his actions. Not a single person actually responded.
"Harrumph! So what? To deal with a bunch of dregs like you guys, my Heavenly Sky Sect this one sect is enough! Heavenly Sky Sect disciples listen up, follow me to kill all of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples! Spare no one!"
Presently, the Heavenly Sky Sect had the fewest losses apart from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. They still had 15 to 16 people now. The headcount was twice of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
Two versus one. The Heavenly Sky Sect wanting to utterly annihilate the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not seem to be something challenging either.
"Yes!"
Each and every one of the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples was rolling up their sleeves for battle. Especially Li Zhangyu. He had wanted to exterminate Ye Yuan long ago!
At this time, he took the initiative to request, "Elder Wu, leave this Ye Yuan to me!"
Wu Zhao shot him a glance and nodded, saying, "Take good care of this punk. Otherwise, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!"
"Hehe, rest assured, Elder Wu. I'll make him live to regret it!" Li Zhangyu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold sneer.
Wu Zhao knew that Li Zhangyu had suffered a loss in Ye Yuan's hands before. He naturally would not go easy.
Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm against Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. No matter how one looked at it, it was completely the precursor to thrashing Ye Yuan!
Although Wu Zhao had many complaints about Li Zhangyu, he knew that Li Zhangyu had real ability. His true combat strength was not inferior to late-stage Crystal Formation Realms!
If not for this case, he would also not have been taken in as a disciple by Chi Zongtao.
Among the junior generation, Li Zhangyu's strength was absolutely extremely powerful!
Except, their conversation sounded freaking hilarious to the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples. Many of them showed odd facial expressions.
Finally, it was still Pang Wanniang who could not resist divulging it. "That guy over there, don't blame me for not warning you, I advise that you better not provoke Ye Yuan anymore. Otherwise, you'll die very horribly."
Li Zhangyu snickered coldly and said, "Alright! I want to see just how he's going to make me die horribly! I admit that he has some unorthodox ways, but as a martial artist, unorthodox paths will die very horribly sooner or later one day! Ye Yuan, I'm going to let you see what is called true strength today!"
Ye Yuan was immediately ecstatic once he heard that. He said with a smile, "Alright. As it happens, I just acquired an unorthodox path toy. I'll use you to test it out. I wonder if I'll die horribly or not!"
Chapter 324 - Shocking Change!
While Ye Yuan was talking, disdain was written all over Li Zhangyu's face.
But in the next instant, his eyes blurred. 18 sword puppets appeared out of thin air in front of him.
The expression on Li Zhangyu's face became very interesting. That disdainful look became astonishment. Then, he noticed that his face was burning hot.
Without looking, his face was surely red like an apple now.
What did he say earlier?
Unorthodox paths could not make the cut? Ask Ye Yuan to take a look at his strength?
There were 18 puppets before his eyes. Each one of the puppets had the strength not beneath his!
Dealing with these puppets, one or two was still fine. 18 all at once would definitely pummel him into a pig's head!
It was very clear that these sword puppets belonged to an unorthodox path. But this unorthodox path was much stronger than him!
The words that Li Zhangyu said to Ye Yuan earlier sounded like he was smacking his own face right now.
When the others saw the 18 sword puppets, they were also immensely shocked!
18 late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets. This was absolutely an extremely powerful force. The Heavenly Sky Sect initially had the upper-hand in terms of numbers. But now, the Tranquil Cloud Sect's numbers surpassed the Heavenly Sky Sect by as many as 10 in an instant!
Seeing these sword puppets, Wu Zhao's expression was also very ugly.
Ye Yuan this brat's means were truly inexhaustible, to actually take out so many late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets in an instant.
Right at this time, Zhao Yuyang who had been unconscious the entire time gradually woke up. Seeing the Heavenly Sky Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect's swords drawn, and bows stretched, he could not help being very baffled.
He even thought that the Tranquil Cloud Sect people already headed up long ago, but did not think that they were still at the first level after so long.
But when his gaze landed on the 18 sword puppets, he was filled with shock and fear!
He was a formation master. He naturally saw these sword puppets' distinctness at a glance.
Struggling over to Wu Zhao's side, Zhao Yuyang said softly, "These puppets are most likely not ordinary puppets, but puppets that can execute array formations. Their combat strength most likely isn't weak!"
With Zhao Yuyang saying this, Wu Zhao's expression became even uglier.
But then, Zhao Yuyang's face changed, and he said again, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, I can't sense the grand array's aura in this great hall! If my guesses are correct, you should be able to use Sea Transformation Realm strength now!"
Along the way, Zhao Yuyang saw the scenes of other sects' elders being smitten to death by the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array. Only then did he sense that this mystic realm was shrouded by a mysterious grand array!
This grand array was very covert. If not triggered, martial artists practically could not detect it!
But Zhao Yuyang was an array master after all. As long as he sensed carefully, he could still feel a hint of array formation undulations.
"For real?" Wu Zhao was overjoyed upon hearing that.
Zhao Yuyang was not quite certain. He closed his eyes and felt again. Only then did he nod his head affirmatively and said, "I'm 80% sure!"
Wu Zhao was wildly ecstatic as he said, "Haha . . . Who knows where you got a bunch of junk puppets from. Do you really think that you're impressive? I'm going to smash those puppets of yours into smithereens today!"
Towards Zhao Yuyang, his junior, Wu Zhao still had a lot of faith in him.
To be able to bring them out of the Absolute Blaze Barrier, Zhao Yuyang's standards could be seen at a glance.
Finished talking, Wu Zhao released his aura. The might of Sea Transformation Realm was displayed fully!
"Haha, this place really doesn't restrict cultivation realms anymore! Ye Yuan, receive death!"
Wu Zhao's figure flashed and clashed together with the 18 sword puppets.
When the other Heavenly Sky Sect disciple saw Wu Zhao attack, they obviously would not remain idle either. They charged over to the Tranquil Cloud Sect's side in unison.
Wu Zhao's aura was originally surging. He wanted to rely on his Sea Transformation Realm strength to directly blast these sword puppets into residues.
But the moment he exchanged blows with these sword puppets, he was involuntarily dumbfounded!
With his peak Third Level Sea Transformation Realm strength, he actually did not gain the slightest bit of advantage over these sword puppets!
"Do these puppets really only have late-stage Crystal Formation Realm strength? This . . . How is this possible?" The more Wu Zhao fought, the more alarmed he got.
The astonished ones were not just Wu Zhao. Apart from the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples, everyone present here was speechless with shock!
"No way! What am I seeing? 18 late-stage Crystal
Formation Realm puppets fought to a draw with a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm expert?"
"This is simply incredulous! I even thought that the Tranquil Cloud Sect people were dead for sure just now. I didn't imagine that they actually had such an incredible way out!"
"Look, you guys, the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples are all faced up against these puppets! The number of these puppets are almost the same as the Heavenly Sky Sect's headcount. Furthermore, the Heavenly Sky Sect even has a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm. Both sides actually fought until they are evenly matched in strength! Is there a mistake?"
Zhao Yuyang stared unblinkingly at the 18 sword puppets. His face turned increasingly solemn!
"Senior Apprentice Brother Zhu, these puppets formed an extremely powerful array formation! You don't bother with me anymore; quickly go help Senior Apprentice Brother Wu! Circle around from the sides. Be sure not to enter the array formation. As long as Ye Yuan is killed, these puppets will naturally become useless!"
Because the other Sea Transformation Realm elder from the Heavenly Sky Sect needed to take care of Zhao Yuyang, he had not moved the entire time.
Originally, they all thought that Wu Zhao alone attacking was ample. They did not think that such a situation would actually occur.
Even if Elder Zhu was completely ignorant about array formations, he also knew the extraordinariness of these sword puppets.
He nodded slightly and made use of the sword puppets and Heavenly Sky Sect disciples to block his line of vision, sneakily approaching Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan currently had all of his attention placed on manipulating the sword puppets. Wu Zhao's strength was even stronger than Mei Zhen's. Ye Yuan naturally did not dare to take him lightly.
Elder Zhu circled one big round and finally pulled the distance between him and Ye Yuan closer!
At this time, he suddenly exploded, wielding his sword as he stabbed straight at Ye Yuan's flank!
But the sad thing was that Mei Zhen had long paid attention to Elder Zhu!
At the same time, Elder Zhu attacked, Mei Zhen's figure also burst forth, using speed even faster than Elder Zhu's to dash over!
The two people quickly clashed together!
Elder Zhu was also at the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm. It was just that he had clearly entered the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm not long ago and was slightly worse compared to Mei Zhen and Wu Zhao.
Of course, it was clearly not very possible for Mei Zhen to want to take down Elder Zhu in a short period of time.
But right at this moment, miserable wails from some Heavenly Sky Sect disciples whose strength were somewhat lacking sounded out unceasingly.
Chi!
A sword from a sword puppet pierced right through a Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciples!
"AHH!"
That disciple cried out miserably and looked like he would not make it.
All the way until he died, he still looked at that sword puppet unbelievably. He probably never imagined that he would die at the hands of a puppet, right?
The sword puppet had a frosty look the same as before because it was impossible for them to have any kind of expression.
Throwing down a cold corpse, its long sword waved once more, slashing towards the others!
Lu Linfeng's Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation was unbelievably profound. Human wave attacks were simply ineffective.
After these Heavenly Sky Sect disciples entered the formation, apart from diverting some attacks, they were actually not very useful to Wu Zhao.
With the first, there was a second!
Very soon, another Heavenly Sky Sect disciple was killed by the sword puppets!
For some time, miserably cries lingered on their ears!
But right at this moment, an anomaly suddenly arose!
A phantom flitted over from the grand array's side. Its target was shockingly Ye Yuan!
Mo Yuntian was taken by surprise, but it was already too late to try and rescue!
"Careful, Ye Yuan!" Mo Yuntian cried out.
Chapter 325 - Convinced Through Fighting!
This afterimage's speed was exceedingly quick. It was actually a Sea Transformation Realm expert!
In this place, apart from Wu Zhao, Mei Zhen, Zhao Yuyang, and Elder Zhu, there was still one other Sea Transformation Realm expert!
Yu Feng!
Currently, Mei Zhen was held back by Elder Zhu. There was nobody else who could hinder the footsteps of Yu Feng assassinating Ye Yuan!
Although Yu Feng was the weakest one among the Sea Transformation Realms present, he was still one of the important experts there.
With the speed of a Sea Transformation Realm expert, no Crystal Formation Realm experts could not catch up even if they tried their best!
A hint of ridicule flashed past the corner of Yu Feng's mouth. He gave a low cry, "Ye Yuan, you didn't think that you'd die at my hands, right?! High Clarity Imperial Reverence Law, Thunderous Nine Heavens! Go and die!"
Yu Feng formed seals with both hands. Several streaks of lightning power surged towards Ye Yuan with extreme speed!
Honestly, among so many people, Yu Feng's hatred towards Ye Yuan was the deepest.
Including him swallowing humiliation and taking on a heavy burden to ally with the Heavenly Sky Sect later on, as well as having Wu Zhao burning down the bridge after crossing the river, Yu Feng finally concentrated all of that resentment onto Ye Yuan!
The way he saw it, if there weren't any actions from Ye Yuan previously, he would not have needed to endure such humiliation.
Hence, the instant the Tranquil Cloud Sect and Heavenly Sky Sect's conflict erupted, he had been planning on how to ambush Ye Yuan!
And now, he finally got the chance!
Mo Yuntian and the rest all shut their eyes painfully. The full power attack of a Sea Transformation Realm, how could Ye Yuan evade it?
Ye Yuan was currently thoroughly absorbed in manipulating the 18 sword puppets right now and seemed to be completely oblivious to this.
His brows just furrowed slightly, then he continued operating the array formation as per normal.
Yu Feng was very confident in his own deadly strike!
Those streaks of lightning surged towards Ye Yuan, carrying an aura that made people feel asphyxiated. It arrived in front of Ye Yuan in virtually a blink of an eye.
Just when everyone thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure, a scene which horrified everybody happened!
Those powerful to the extreme lightning actually vanished around two feet away in front of Ye Yuan, as if it was swallowed up by something!
And Ye Yuan was still standing there perfectly well.
Yu Feng watched this scene dumbfoundedly as he muttered, "H-How is this possible? He clearly didn't do anything at all. How can my Thunderous Nine Heavens be swallowed up? No way! Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Yu Feng's murmuring became roars, then he flung caution to the winds and amassed heaven and earth essence energy!
"High Clarity Imperial Reverence Law! Thunderous Nine Heavens!"
Yu Feng wanted to unleash this powerful attack once more.
However . . .
Rumble!
Yu Feng's body flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Everyone was stunned speechless once again!
"This . . . What in the world happened?"
"Too inconceivable! Did you see that just now? Yu Feng's Thunderous Nine Heavens didn't disappear, but appeared somehow from the void behind him and slammed directly onto him!"
"You got to be shitting me, right? Yu Feng used the Thunderous Nine Heavens to cripple himself? This . . . What the hell is this called?!"
"Yeah, I also feel like this is a joke! But that lightning power that appeared behind Yu Feng just now was clearly his own Thunderous Nine Heavens!"
That scene earlier seriously looked rather ludicrous in everyone's eyes. But it genuinely happened in front of them.
Yu Feng suffer
ed his own full-power attack while completely defenseless, heavily injuring himself!
He coughed out a large mouthful of blood in mid-air, then fell onto the ground and was out cold.
His ambush was out of everybody's expectations and was also unbelievably swift and fierce. But nobody could have thought that it would actually be such a conclusion!
Everyone used revering and fearful eyes to look at Ye Yuan, thinking that it was Ye Yuan's means.
But the most crucial thing was that they completely could not tell that Ye Yuan had any essence energy undulations that targeted Yu Feng!
Therefore, Ye Yuan become mysterious and powerful in their eyes. Nobody treated Ye Yuan like an ordinary Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm anymore.
Ye Yuan was currently controlling the 18 sword puppets with all his strength and simply could not care less about Yu Feng's matter.
Within the array formation, tragic cries filled the air. There were already four or five Heavenly Sky Sect disciples who were slightly weaker that died under the swords of the sword puppets.
The more Wu Zhao fought, the more alarmed he became. He seriously could not figure out how a pair of late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets could be powerful to such an extent!
Listening to the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples' shrieks and wails, Wu Zhao's heart was dripping blood.
Having entered the mystic realm for over half a month's time, the men that their Heavenly Sky Sect lost were not even as many as this short while!
If this continued, the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples would be slaughtered one by one by Ye Yuan!
"You guys aren't a match for these puppets! Quickly go out!" Wu Zhao bellowed.
"Elder Wu, not that we don't want to leave, but we totally cannot go out at all! Ah!" As that disciple was talking, he was stabbed by a sword puppet.
"Elder Wu, I feel that the surroundings are all puppets, all sword shadows. We simply can't find the way out!"
"Elder Wu, quickly save us!"
This was the formidable aspect of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!
The number of puppets was clearly about the same as the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples. But each one of them would feel like there were many sword puppets surrounding them and beating them!
