Bang!
A huge hole was blasted out on the ground behind Ye Yuan. Du Yushan's figure appeared.
Only to see Ye Yuan slowly turn around and say coolly, "Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm only has this bit of capabilities? Double up!"
"Stinking brat! It's you yourself seeking death. You only hav your self to blame for this!" Du Yushan gnashed his teeth hatefully and said.
Du Yushan erupted completely, staring at Ye Yuan and bombarding indiscriminately. Horrifying heaven and earth essence energy was mobilized, blasting towards Ye Yuan one move after another!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dirt flew around the place Ye Yuan was standing at, kicking up clouds of dust, and blocking people's sight.
In a twinkle, ten moves passed. Du Yushan actually felt like collapsing. These ten moves earlier, he already used all of his strength. Under such an attack, Ye Yuan could not possibly survive!
"Hahaha! Still be unbridled with me! This stinking brat really doesn't know how the word 'death' is written!" Du Yushan said with a loud laugh.
"Heh heh, to actually dare infuriate Elder Du. This boy is really soft in the head! I reckon that he's already blasted into meat paste now, right?"
"However, this boy has some capabilities. To actually be able to evade Elder Du's first three rounds of attacks. He can also be considered as quite capable!"
"Just a self-conceited fool who was insolent because of his ability. Such a person is destined to not live long."
The Purple Mansion Sect's people were perfectly aware of Du Yucheng's attacks. Those few moves earlier were his trump cards. How could Ye Yuan possibly survive under such horrifying attacks?
Zhang Jing's expression changed. Du Yushan's attacks earlier were too terrifying. Separated so far away made him feel asphyxiated too.
How could a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist possibly survive under such an attack?
Zhang Jing was just about to take some action when he was halted by Mo Yuntian. "Relax. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye isn't that kind of wildly arrogant person. Since he dared to receive his ten moves, he must have a grasp of the situation in his mind."
Mo Yuntian's voice had yet to fade when an ice-cold voice came from that disorderly patch of dust as if it came from the underworld!
"Seriously weak! You dregs from the Fierce Gale World only have this bit of ability? Since that's the case, then go and die!"
Hearing this voice, Du Yucheng's expression changed drastically. His scalp tingled and a feeling of terror welled up from the bottom of his heart.
He instinctively felt that things were not good and turned around to flee!
The sound of a dragon roar came from within the dust. The wind and fire colossal dragon carried a voice which made peoples' heart palpitate charged over towards Du Yushan with extreme speed!
"Ahh! Help!"
Du Yushan had yet to run far when he was completely swallowed up by the colossal dragon!
The wretched screams entered everyone's ears. Regardless whether it was the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples or the people from the Purple Mansion Sect, they were all quaking in their boots with fear.
Especially the Purple Mansion Sect. Each and every one of their faces showed immense shock.
A kind of feeling called fear rose up from the bottom of everyone's heart. Including those Sea Transformation Realm elders!
Even the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm Du Yushan crumbled in one blow like so, what did they . . . even count as?
Only persisted for a few breaths of time, and then Du Yushan fell completely silent.
The wind and fire colossal dragon dissipated. Only a mass of black smoke rose up. Du Yushan actually did not even leave behind a corpse!
And right then, the dust that was stirred up by Du Yushan's attacks gradually dispersed, revealing that slightly skinny looking profile of Ye Yuan's.
The eyes the Purple Mansion Sect disciples looked at Ye Yuan with was like looking at a primordial behemoth.
"H-Half-step Sea Transformation! This . . . how is this possible?" A Purple Mansion Sect's Sea Transformation Realm elder's old eyes nearly dropped to the ground.
A moment ago, he was still Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm. In the blink of an eye, Ye Yuan actually became a Half-Step Sea Transformation existence.
Right at this moment, Ye Yuan's gaze also just happened to turn towards him, and actually flashed him a smile, saying, "Is it very despondent? Now . . . can you all understand the feelings of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples?"
Ye Yuan's smile looked like a completely harmless neighbor's big boy. But who would really take him to be a big boy from next door?
This young man was simply the God of Death descending upon the world!
"R-R-Run! Quickly run!" That Sea Transformation Realm elder turned around and fled.
Only then, did the group of Purple Mansion Sect disciple startle awake abruptly, scattering apart like birds and beasts.
"Ah! Help!"
"That's a demon! Quickly flee!"
The Purple Mansion Sect disciples instantly fell into a chaotic mess.
They wished that their parents had given them a couple more legs to let them run a little faster.
Very soon, all of their figures stopped abruptly, as if they were fixed in place!
Because in front of them, countless flower petals condensed and formed, sealing off all of their escape routes!
That Sea Transformation Realm elder who was the first to run clenched his teeth and released his aura fully, wanting to charge past.
Only to hear slashing sounds echo out. A badly mutilated corpse fell down from the air.
This time, everyone despaired.
Slam!
A Purple Mansion Sect disciple kneeled down towards Ye Yuan and actually cried, "M-Mercy! I know my error! Spare my dog life! Sniff . . . Sniff . . ."
This kneel of his was akin to a plague, instantly infecting all of the Purple Mansion Sect disciples.
The Purple Mansion Sect disciple all kneel down towards Ye Yuan, repenting and begging for mercy.
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "When you all were killing those fellow sect members of mine below the mountain, did you ever thought about showing mercy? If I didn't make it over here in time today, most likely, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would not have even fowls or dogs spared anymore, right? Therefore . . . all of you go and die!"
Chapter 449 - Defending Tranquil Cloud Sect to the Death!
Looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, Zhang Jing was dumbfounded for a long time.
Only a short three months or so had passed, and Ye Yuan was already an existence on a completely different level from them these fellow apprentices.
Not only did he rise a full major realm, he even had the strength to instantly kill a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm in terms of combat strength already!
Crossing a major realm to battle. This was something that Zhang Jing did not even dare to imagine. But Ye Yuan accomplished it effortlessly.
Recalling back when he left Ye Yuan into the sect, Zhang Jing had a feeling like it was a whole other life.
That young man not far away was destined to be someone from a different world from them mere mortals!
"A few months of not seeing him, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye actually already m.a.t.u.r.ed to such a level!" Zhang Jing muttered under his breath.
In truth, the astonishment in Mo Yuntian's heart was not much lesser than Zhang Jing's. Although he knew that Ye Yuan's present combat power was stunning, this was his first time truly seeing it!
Killing a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm in one move, the shock from such an impact was too great.
Hearing Zhang Jing's emotional sigh, Mo Yuntian said in relief, "It was also thanks to Ye Yuan. Otherwise, the few of us would have long died in a foreign land. These fellow sect apprentices would probably also die without a burial ground!"
Mei Zhen and the rest crowded in front of Ye Yuan and asked concernedly
, "Ye Yuan, your body still isn't fully recovered. Are you alright?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Not a big issue."
Compared to the fight with Zhao Chenggan, this earlier could only be said to be a warm-up.
Likewise, Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm, the disparity between the two was too great!
Mei Zhen nodded and said, "Good that you're fine! Ye Yuan, you're the Tranquil Cloud Sect's final hope now. You must take care not to force things."
"Thank you for Elder Mei's concern. I'll take notice."
"En. Now that the sect is already broken up, where . . . should we go?"
When Mei Zhen said these words, everyone perked their ears up, wanting to hear what Ye Yuan would say.
At this time now, Ye Yuan was already where all of Tranquil Cloud Sect's hopes lay.
Even Mei Zhen this Sea Transformation Realm elder also quietly took Ye Yuan as the person in charge of things.
Ye Yuan ruminated for a moment and said, "Since Grand Elder, Sect Master Luo, and the rest are not dead, we obviously have to think of ways to rescue them out! But we aren't the Purple Mansion Sect's match right now. Therefore . . . we can only wait!"
"Wait? Wait for what?" Mei Zhen did not quite understand Ye Yuan's intentions and asked in puzzlement.
"Wait for an opportunity! I believe that the Purple Mansion Sect will discover that something unforeseen happened on here on the Tranquil Cloud Sect's side very soon. They are bound to send even stronger martial artists over here! And what we need to do is to stand fast at this final piece of locus of the Southern Domain and wait for the Northern Domain's response!" Ye Yuan said.
When these words of Ye Yuan came out, everyone's faces changed.
"You're saying, we are to defend the Tranquil Cloud Sect to the death?" Mei Zhen asked in surprise.
"That's right!"
"But . . . Ye Yuan, I know that you're very strong and that there are already very few Sea Transformation Realm martial artists that can threaten your existence. But you have to know that the Purple Mansion Sect has over a dozen Soul Sea Realm powerhouses!" Mei Zhen reminded.
He did not know where Ye Yuan's confidence came from.
Although it was hard to comprehend that Ye Yuan could deal with Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, the reality happened right before his eyes. He had no choice but to accept it.
Yet to say that Ye Yuan could deal with Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, he would not believe it even if he was pummeled to death either!
Take ten thousand steps back to say, even if Ye Yuan could really deal with Soul Sea Realm martial artists, the Purple Mansion Sect had over a dozen Soul Sea Realms!
Could it be that Ye Yuan could sweep them clean all at once?
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Of course I won't be foolish enough to clash head-on with Soul Sea Realm powerhouses. However . . . we still have the sect protecting grand array, don't we?"
"Sect protecting grand array?" Mei Zhen was stunned, and then he said in bewilderment, "Without Soul Sea Realm martial artists or a powerhouse with Sect Master's level of strength, the sect protecting grand array simply can't unleash power at all! Furthermore, even if they are here presiding over the array formation, they can at most withstand early-stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists. But the Purple Mansion Sect's Sect Master is a late-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!"
Ye Yuan did not reply Mei Zhen's words, but he swept a glance over the Tranquil Cloud Sect's remaining disciples, saying coolly, "I wonder if my fellow seniors and juniors . . . can trust me, Ye Yuan?"
These few hundred Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples remaining could be said to all be the Tranquil Cloud Sect's elite disciples. The majority of them were Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.
These people all willingly stayed behind to share life and death together with the sect, for the sake of striving for time for that batch of elite disciples to escape.
In truth, before this, they had the chance to flee helter-skelter. But they chose to stay behind to die without prior consultation!
From this, it could be seen how great the Tranquil Cloud Sect's cohesive strength was!
It was precisely because so that Ye Yuan was unbelievably furious at those Purple Mansion Sect disciples who invaded and exterminated every last one of them.
Seeing Ye Yuan raising a question, these disciples could not help exchanging glances.
Actually, using one's brain to think about it, standing fast and on defensive in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was a terrible plan. The Purple Mansion Sect practically already unified the Endless World's Southern Domain. The Tranquil Cloud Sect was already a lone island.
As long as the Purple Mansion Sect wanted, they could focus all of their firepowers to attack the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
Relying on a sect protecting grand array at this time to withstand a bunch of Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, this was something that only a moron would do!
Yet, the problem was that was Ye Yuan a moron? Or perhaps, Ye Yuan was deliberately making them jump into a fire pit?
If Ye Yuan did it in order to send them to their deaths, why would he take such a superfluous action earlier and save them?
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I believe you!"
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, our lives were saved by you! You ask us to die, we absolutely won't furrow our brows!"
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, we'll fight with you!"
. . . . . .
After a moment of silence, those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples' supporting voices surged over like floodwaters!
Ye Yuan already used strength and used action to thoroughly subjugate them!
On the juncture that the Tranquil Cloud Sect was already to be annihilated, it was Ye Yuan who came forward and tried and turn back the tides. What right did they have to not trust Ye Yuan?
Seeing this scene, everyone had a feeling of their hot blood boiling!
In this instant, the Purple Mansion Sect which was powerful until it made people feel suffocated did not seem so scary anymore either!
"Good! Since my fellow seniors and juniors all trust me, Ye Yuan, we'll all fight a good one with the Purple Mansion Sect together! Let them see that our Tranquil Cloud Sect is not to be trifled with!" Ye Yuan yelled out loud and clear.
"F*ck the Purple Mansion Sect! We want to make them pay blood for blood!"
"Blood for blood!"
"Blood for blood!"
. . . . . .
These people were not foreign to Ye Yuan. Ever since he entered the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he created once miracle after another.
And today, who knew if he could create another miracle?
Ye Yuan's might already completely stirred up these peoples' hot blood!
These fellow apprentices did not lack the spirit of looking death calmly in the face. What they lacked was powerful confidence!
And today, Ye Yuan gave them confidence!
Ye Yuan extended his hand and pressed down, gesturing for everyone to quiet down.
He called out in a clear voice, "From today onwards, our Tranquil Cloud Sect will activate the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array, and we'll completely seal the mountain! I'll refine medicinal pills for everybody to raise everyone's strength as quickly as possible! At that time, I'll need to borrow every senior's and junior's strength. We'll defend together the Southern Domain's final lone island!"
Chapter 450 - Restoring the Grand Array!
The following few days, Ye Yuan sank into an extremely busy schedule.
He first refined several transcendent-grade Essence Vigor Pills, and he finally replenished the lost blood essence fully.
As one of the Eight Great Sects, although the Tranquil Cloud Sect had declined awfully, they still had a considerable reserve of Tier 3 spirit medicines. There were enough for Ye Yuan to refine.
When Ye Yuan was refining pills, Xiao Ruyan acted as an assistant by the side. She took Ye Yuan's entire pill refinement process fully into her eyes.
Coming out from th
e pill refinement room, Xiao Ruyan's entire person was in a state of stupor.
Only when she observed Ye Yuan's pill refinement in close distance did she finally know how formidable this Master she acknowledged.
Ye Yuan was clearly refining Tier 3 medicinal pill, but Xiao Ruyan actually could not understand Ye Yuan's refinement technique.
Xiao Ruyan's standards were not low. But it was precisely so that she had an even deeper understanding of how high Ye Yuan's standards were.
This could be said as unintentionally planting a willow tree, and the willow tree would become a shade. Xiao Ruyan suddenly felt that she was too fortunate. Not only could she be together with Ye Yuan, but she could also even raise her alchemy skills.
Next, Ye Yuan made use of the Square Cauldron to refine a large batch of Tier 2 and Tier 3 medicinal pills and distributed them to the sect's disciples.
The result was that a few days later, columns of essence energy storms formed in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. There were disciples successfully breaking through everywhere.
Many disciples were stuck in the state of Peak Spirit Condensation Realm. This batch of medicinal pills created a large batch of Crystal Formation Realm disciples.
There were even a minority of Peak Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciples who broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm without a hitch after consuming the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined!
The strength of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples rose a level collectively!
After the disciples noticed such a transformation, their admiration for Ye Yuan all reached a degree that could not be surpassed.
For a moment, Ye Yuan's prestige reached the pinnacle. His prestige among the disciples right now was most likely no longer inferior to Sect Master Luo Qingfeng.
When the disciples there were all breaking through, Ye Yuan brought Mei Zhen to the center of the Tranquil Cloud Sect's array formation.
"Ye Yuan, you say that you want to restart the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. Could it be that us, these remnant troops and defeated soldiers, can really rely on this grand array to resist those Soul Sea Realm powerhouses?" Mei Zhen still asked half believing, half doubtfully.
