Shangguan Lingyun shook his head and said, "I cannot be certain! Ye Yuan's might virtually disregards the disparity of levels. I only broke through one minor boundary. To him, it's practically dispensable. Unless I can break through to the Divine Traversing Realm, only then, will there be sufficient assurance to kill him."
Deng Sheng was taken aback with shock. A minor realm in the Soul Sea Realm, but the disparity was still huge. The difficulty of leaping realms to battle was very great.
Shangguan Lingyun broke through to the Eighth Level Soul Sea and actually even said that he did not have certainty in being able to deal with Ye Yuan!
Rumble!
The two people were just speaking when a powerful attack arrived with a howl.
Shangguan Lingyun's expression changed. Waving his hand, a blow struck back too.
Two powerful attacks collided, instantly shredding the central army's main tent into ribbons.
The sanguine light in the big tent could no longer be hidden and was exposed.
But Shangguan Lingyun had long vacated all the nearby personnel. The Fierce Gale World great army was currently obstructing and intercepting the Crimsonlight City martial artists right now. There would not be anybody paying attention to here either.
A figure stood in the air. Who could it be but Ye Yuan?
Seeing that blood-colored grand array, Ye Yuan's brows involuntarily knitted together.
"You all launched this war and would massacre all the residents of the city every time you reached a city. Turns out that it's actually for the sake of this Floating Light Blood Shadow Array!" Ye Yuan's words exuded thick killing intent in them.
This Floating Light Blood Shadow Array was a very wicked grand array. It was an array formation specially for the sake of collecting and refining sanguine qi.
And to absorb sanguine qi, it must be accompanied by a bloody massacre.
Ye Yuan did not expect that the Fierce Gale World launching the war was actually for the sake of collecting sanguine qi.
What on earth were they trying to do?
Being unmasked by Ye Yuan, Shangguan Lingyun did not have the slightest hint of panic and said with a smile, "Never thought that you actually even know about Floating Light Blood Shadow Array. You truly surprised me."
Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a solemn voice, "Looks like you were making use of these sanguine qi to cultivate earlier. I was still thinking about how can you possibly break through a major boundary within a year. So, it's this reason. Really didn't expect that a genius like you will also actually abandon yourself to vice."
Shangguan Lingyun had just broken through not long ago. The sanguine qi on his body had yet to dissipate completely. Ye Yuan saw through that he was utilizing the sanguine qi to cultivate with one glance.
Shangguan Lingyun suddenly gave a self-mocking laugh and said, "Genius? You using this term to evaluate others, why does it sound very sarcastic even when listening to it? In front of you, who dares to claim to be a genius? Ever since you wasted Zhao Chenggan, I knew that you were a great mountain that I have no way of surpassing in this life!"
Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer, "So you wallowed in degeneration and cultivated this sort of demonic path cultivation method? Do you know that even though demonic path cultivation methods advance quickly, likewise, the hidden dangers are also very great!"
"So what? As long as I can defeat you and Zhao Chenggan, however much I have to pay, I'm willing too do so!" Shangguan Lingyun said coldly.
Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "Looks like you're already hopeless! You guys actually did not scruple in launching a realm war in order to collect this sanguine qi and let your own people come to the Endless World to send themselves to death. Just what is it for?"
Shangguan Lingyun suddenly said with an evil smile, "If you want to know, you can go and ask the Wind Emperor, His Majesty, personally."
Ye Yuan stared at Shangguan Lingyun for a long time before saying, "Looks like you're just a dog under Zhao Tianyin too; you don't know anything at all. Rest assure, I'll go and ask him personally."
Shangguan Lingyun's air became cold as he said in a deep voice, "You're courting death!"
As he spoke, Shangguan Lingyun hurled a punch towards Ye Yuan.
This punch carried extremely intense sanguine qi. Forget about ordinary martial artists receiving this punch, just this sanguine qi was also plenty more than they could bear.
But Ye Yuan refined the blood of a true dragon in the Vast Heaven Pagoda. That was an extreme yang and indomitable tyrannical bloodline under this sky. It restrained this sanguine qi the most.
Although this attack was powerful, it did not pose much of a threat to Ye Yuan.
A Flame Movement Carnage rushed over, directly dissipating this fist intent.
"Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"
Ye Yuan did not hesitate, directly returning a punch.
Except that this punch was not targeting Shangguan Lingyun; it targeted that Floating Light Blood Shadow Array.
What surprised Ye Yuan was that Shangguan Lingyun did not have the intention of saving the array formation. He let Ye Yuan's Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage rumble over at his discretion.
Yet, at this time, that gray-black small flash suddenly surged with a blood-colored glow. A blood dragon flew out of the small flask's opening and directly devoured Ye Yuan's Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan's expression darkened.
Chapter 609 - Dawn
"It's useless. Once the Floating Light Blood Shadow Array activates, it's impossible to stop without absorbing enough sanguine qi. With your strength, you simply can't crack this array formation," Shangguan Lingyun said.
"Looks like this Floating Light Blood Shadow Array wasn't set up by you, but it is an array formation built into this small flask," Ye Yuan suddenly said.
"You're too clever. Clever people tend to not live for long." It was the same as Shangguan Lingyun tacitly acknowledging Ye Yuan's statement.
"My fate is up to me, not up to Heaven. It naturally is even less up to you," Ye Yuan said coolly.
"Arrogant! Heavenly Dao is the greatest! Even if you can reach Deity Realm, you're also unable to surpass the constraints of Heavenly Dao!"
Martial artists held Heavenly Dao in the greatest reverence. In front of Heavenly Dao, no matter how formidable the martial artist, they were also just ants.
Even if Shangguan Lingyun were anymore arrogant, he would not dare to comment recklessly about Heavenly Dao either.
But Ye Yuan was someone who had already died once. He felt that this Heavenly Dao was unjust. If there were a chance in this lifetime, he would definitely surpass the constraints of Heavenly Dao!
Ye Yuan was not angry. He said with a smile, "What does a swallow know of the aims of a swan?"
Shangguan Lingyun's face darkened. Ye Yuan's words struck his sore spot.
Even though he kept repeatedly saying that he was inferior to Ye Yuan, it did not mean that he really resigned himself to fate. Otherwise, he would not have cultivated this Blood Carnage Demonic Art either.
Ye Yuan's appearance brought a tremendous impact on his life.
All along, Shangguan Lingyun felt that he was the most talented!
Even with Zhao Chenggan, Shangguan Lingyun could gain a slight edge over him too. But Ye Yuan's appearance thoroughly shattered his understanding.
Back then, Ye Yuan beat Zhao Chenggan to such an extent with just a Crystal Formation Realm cultivation. The impact that it brought to Shangguan Lingyun was seriously too intense.
For a very long time after, Shangguan Lingyun lived in Ye Yuan's shadow, unable to extricate himself, all the way until Zhao Tianyin appeared in front of him.
Hence, there was this scene today.
In front of Ye Yuan, he was indeed only just an insignificant swallow.
Ignoring Ye Yuan's previous life's identity, Ye Yuan's talent in this life had absolutely reached the Di
vine Realm's pinnacle standards.
While Shangguan Lingyun was merely just a Lower Realms' top genius; that was all.
Even if he was stronger, he was still just a tiny little swallow in front of Ye Yuan.
"Then I'll take a look and see if you, this swan, are really that powerful!" Shangguan Lingyun gritted his teeth and said.
"Shaoyang Demonic Palm!"
Shangguan Lingyun cried out. A large blood-red handprint smacked over towards Ye Yuan.
Even though Ye Yuan's dragon blood had restraining effects towards this sort of demonic art, Shangguan Lingyun was a major boundary higher than him after all. For Ye Yuan to want to win with ease, it was naturally something impossible.
The power of this large handprint was incredible. In it carried thick sanguine qi; it was very ferocious.
Ye Yuan's expression fell slightly. Flame Movement Carnage instantly came out, directly dissipating that large handprint.
"Go to hell!"
Shangguan Lingyun threw palm after palm, clashing a hundred moves with Ye Yuan instantly. Both parties actually came out evenly.
By the side, Deng Sheng was dazed watching it. Only now did he know just how powerful Ye Yuan was.
Battling Shangguan Lingyun with strength a major boundary lower and not be at a disadvantageous position in the slightest, such combat strength was too outrageous.
Looking from both party's battle, Ye Yuan did not seem like a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist at all. He actually resembled a Soul Sea Realm expert instead!
Ye Yuan's moves were so daunting, but a situation where his essence energy dried up actually did not arise at all for him. This was simply something beyond comprehension.
How could a Sea Transformation Realm expert's essence energy possibly support such powerful martial techniques?
"Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"
With a drawn-out fight, Ye Yuan planned on taking the initiative to gain the upper hand and was the first to use a certain-kill technique.
Different from the probing the last time, this time, Ye Yuan brought out true capabilities.
He upgraded the dragon wave's amplitude to Peak Earth Rank level. This was already the limit that Ye Yuan could accomplish with this Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage technique.
This move merged together with the Scorching True Intent and the power of dragon wave. Its might was even stronger than the Myriad Rain Sword Blades!
"Bloodmoon Wheel!"
Shangguan Lingyun was not careless at all either, returning Ye Yuan's attack with his move.
This move was identical on the surface as the previous time when both parties were feeling out. What was different was just that the pure white full moon became blood-red in color.
But this was clearly just the difference on the surface. The power of Bloodmoon Wheel was much more powerful compared to Full Moon Slash.
Shangguan Lingyun was worthy of being a genius martial artist. He integrated the sanguine power into his own martial technique, causing his own martial technique to become even more powerful.
Rumble!
The fire dragon and blood moon collided together intensely, causing an immense quake.
"Puhwark!"
These two people attacked too suddenly. By the side, Deng Sheng was directly shocked flying out by the attacks this time completely unprepared. He directly spewed out a mouthful of blood in the air.
The two people's battle was daunting to the max!
Deng Sheng was a Ninth Level Soul Sea expert. In cultivation realm, he was even higher than Shangguan Lingyun. He actually could not even withstand the aftershocks of their battle.
If this were a frontal battle, he would have already died until not even dregs were left long ago.
After one attack, Ye Yuan and Shangguan Lingyun were each blasted flying out.
This attack was actually neck and neck!
Shangguan Lingyun put his palm behind him, his expression livid as he looked at Ye Yuan.
The clash this time looked to be evenly matched, but actually, he still lost by half a move.
This palm of Ye Yuan's was very bizarre. It actually carried extremely intense vibration, shocking until his palm tingled!
Shangguan Lingyun had intense unwillingness in his heart. He had already gotten such great improvement, and he was actually still not Ye Yuan's match.
Could it be that there was no way of surpassing this fellow?
Ye Yuan looked at Shangguan Lingyun and said coolly, "You're indeed very strong. You're even that tinge stronger than Zhao Chenggan. If you didn't walk an evil path, you would have a high chance of ascending to the Divine Realm. Repent, and salvation is at hand. You can still make it if you stop now!"
"It's too late! Furthermore, I don't feel that there's anything wrong with me doing this. I don't need to you preach!" Shangguan Lingyun said with a cold snort.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Then there's no choice! Depraved heretics, anybody has the right to punish them!"
As he said, Ye Yuan condensed essence energy and prepared to execute Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage once again.
. . . . . .
Chu Shi trio was at the forefront, akin to a sharp blade thrust into the Fierce Gale World's great army, sweeping away all resistance along the way.
Although the surrounding Fierce Gale World martial artists were a lot, none could last one exchange at the hands of the three of them.
Even though the others were not as strong as Chu Shi trio, through the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation's training, their combat strength had a tremendous increase too.
Unless they bumped into martial artists whose cultivation realms were much higher than theirs, otherwise, they likewise smashed all resistance and advanced victoriously.
Day was about to break. Over the course of hours of killing, Chu Shi trio suddenly discovered that they could break out of the encirclement not far away ahead!
This discovery made them unbelievably excited. They never would have thought that after that brat's training, their strength would actually be formidable to such an extent.
Earlier, a Seventh Level Soul Sea martial artist was fighting with them. One careless move and he was actually cleaved apart.
This was what he dare not think at all in the past!
"Brothers! Follow me and charge forward! We're about to succeed in breaking out right away!" Chu Shi shouted at the top of his voice.
Chapter 610 - One Man Guarding the Pass!
Pierce!
After Chu Shi stabbed a Fierce Gale World martial artist in front of him, there was suddenly a stretch of brightness before his eyes.
Chu Shi knew that he finally charged out of the encirclement!
At this instant, his heart was filled with a vicissitude of emotion.
That instant when he was trapped in Crimsonlight City, he thought about the alliance sending a great army over to rescue, and also thought of being slaughtered by the Fierce Gale World.
But he did not even dare to think that he could rely on his own strength to carve out a bloody path.
But now, he really did it!
Recalling that brat who was cussed countless times by him in the open and in secret, thick gratitude was reverberating in his heart at this time.
But this was not over yet. He did not have that much time to go and be overwhelmed by emotions. That was the privilege of a victor.
And now, they were still very far away from victory.
He had the strength to kill outside, but it did not mean that the others had the strength to slaughter out too.
The fighting along the way, it was still unknown how many companions died.
If according to Chu Shi's personality in the past, he would definitely run away without even turning his head back according to what Ye Yuan said: all the way north, and absolutely do not turn back.
But at this time, Chu Shi turned his head back at the behest of supernatural powers and asked Zhu Changzhi and Qian Si, "Brothers, still g
ot strength?"
From entering the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation until now, it was but a short ten days.
Yet, this ten days' time changed far too much.
Although Chu Shi, Zhu Changzhi, and Qian Si, the three people still bickered, their tacit understanding between each other did not even need eyes to communicate.
"Heh heh, Elder Brother, I, haven't killed to my heart's fill yet!" Zhu Changzhi snickered.
"Charge back!" Qian Si said.
Chu Shi chortled with laughter and yelled out, "Brothers who charged out, let's kill back in! Brothers who are still alive, we must bring them out without missing one!"
"Yes!"
"Let's kill back in!"
". . . . . ."
Indistinctly, Chu Shi trio had already become these martial artists' leaders.
To be able to come out from the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation, these remaining groups were all not weak.
And Chu Shi trio was even the outstanding ones among these. Towards their three people group, the others felt a greater sense of identity and belongingness.
Su Hu was currently facing off against a Ninth Level Soul Sea commander. Seeing this scene, he could not help being surprised inwardly.
In his impression, these itinerant cultivators were all self-centered, stubborn, and unruly people. Today, they actually did something like that. It seriously made people surprised.
Su Hu's notion was not that much. One able to escape was one.
Chu Shi trio had clearly already charged out and actually still thought about returning to save the others. Such behavior was too incomprehensible.
But no matter what, Chu Shi's actions still lessened the pressure on his shoulders considerably.
. . . . . .
Rumble!
A Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage of Ye Yuan's rumbled over. But Shangguan Lingyun did not receive the move at all.
The materialized colossal red dragon chased after Shangguan Lingyun and finally exhausted its essence energy, vanishing into nothingness.
Under the situation where both parties' strength were around the same, it was actually very hard to kill the other party.
