These words were said . . . without any reservation!
It was just that in An Xuan's and the other's ears, it was simply a joke.
"Haha! You're not afraid of twisting your tongue when bragging! A puny little Tier 4 human also dares to utter such words. Who gave you the courage?" An Xuan said with a loud laugh.
Although that clash Ye Yuan had with him earlier was very fierce, that was only his momentary carelessness. Furthermore, he had not used much strength yet.
If Ye Yuan thought that he had the qualifications to challenge him just like this, then Ye Yuan really did not know how the word 'death' was written.
"Hahaha! Where did this joker come from? To actually dare challenge Young Lord! He's really complaining that he lived for too long."
"Are humans all this stupid? This kind of brain, how did he cultivate to Tier 4?"
"Human, we're so afraid! These Thunder Essence Fruits, you take them all. Make sure not to be courteous with us! Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"
"Hahaha!"
Ye Yuan's words incurred a wave of guffaws. In their view, Ye Yuan was simply here to be a joke.
How could Tier 4 martial artists possibly beat Young Lord?
Towards this sort of mocking, Ye Yuan naturally did not take it to heart. He just hooked his finger at An Xuan. That sort of disdain was laid b.a.r.e thoroughly.
An Xuan's expression darkened. "If you're courting death yourself, then I can't be blamed! Darkshadow Thunder Kill!"
An Xuan extended his hand and beckoned. A horrifying power of lightning and thunder instantly enveloped the entire place.
And Ye Yuan was situated in the heart of this lightning field!
"Darkshadow Thunder Kill as the opening move. Looks like Young Lord was really enraged by this fellow!"
"Heh heh, this fellow is really a joke. He doesn't know what a terrifying thing it is to infuriate Young Lord."
"Tsk tsk, nothing to see anymore. Once Darkshadow Thunder Kill is unleashed, this fellow is dead for sure."
Facing this horrifying lightning field, Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious. His aura suddenly erupted abruptly, soaring straight to peak Fourth Level Soul Sea!
Crossing a minor stage, Ye Yuan's aura became totally different!
Those Darkshadow Lightning Snake clansmen who were still mocking Ye Yuan earlier all had their mouths gaping wide open at this time.
Ye Yuan's current aura was actually not the slightest bit inferior to An Xuan!
"Oppression of the dragon race! This . . . This is the oppression of the dragon race! Could it be that . . . this brat is a dragon race progeny?" An Bing suddenly exclaimed, sensing that oppressive power belonging to the dragon race bloodline.
At this current moment, Ye Yuan fully exhibited the dragon race bloodline in his body.
The Darkshadow Lightning Snake clansmen whose strength were slightly weaker actually could not resist and bowed down!
The hierarchy of the demon race was stringent. This sort of bloodline oppression was simply unable to resist!
Without needing An Bing to say, An Xuan naturally perceived it long ago.
The dragon pressure that Ye Yuan released actually made the demonic essence in his body had a feeling of going out of control. If not for his strength was much higher than Ye Yuan's, he would probably have followed the others at this time and bowed down.
This was absolutely the purest dragon race bloodline. Otherwise, how could it possibly make his demonic essence be on the verge of losing control?
Could this brat really be a dragon race progeny?
But . . . this brat did not have any traces of a demon from top to bottom!
Seeing this scene, Yu Shu's small face was flushed red from agitation; it was like a fully-ripe red little apple.
"Turns out that Big Brother Ye Yuan is so incredible! Back then when he fought with us, he didn't release all of the dragon pressure at all. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the chance to attack in front of him!" Yu Shu said agitatedly.
By the side, Yu Leng was taken aback from shock too. Only now did she know how great Ye Yuan's strength was!
Just this dragon pressure, a demon with her strength could not give rise to the thought of resisting at all.
"This . . . Ye Yuan, is he a human or demon?" Yu Xin also unwittingly started to question her eyes.
The dragon pressure that Ye Yuan displayed was too pure. If this dragon pressure were released towards the fox clan, they would not be able to withstand it at all.
This point, one would know just by taking a look at those Darkshadow Lightning Snakes.
Ye Yuan looked at An Xuan indifferently and said, "You said just now that whoever's fist is bigger makes the call. Then let's measure whose fist is bigger!"
"Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"
The moment Ye Yuan attacked, it was his strongest attack!
An Xuan's expression was indescribably nasty. Seeing Ye Yuan make a move, he attacked without hesitation as well.
"Darkshadow Thunder Kill! Suppress for me!"
An Xuan roared. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled within this area, facing off with the fiery-red colossal dragon Ye Yuan fired out!
Except, the lightning which looked fierce and sharp could not shake Ye Yuan's red dragon at all.
Rumble!
A huge rumbling sound was heard. An Xuan directly vomited blood from being beaten to severe injuries.
"Young Lord!"
"Young Lord, are you alright?"
The one move being exhausted, the dragon pressure on Ye Yuan's body converged following that too, before those Darkshadow Lightning Snakes could recover.
With one attack, An Xuan was already severely wounded and unable to battle anymore. The eyes he looked at Ye Yuan with was filled with hatred and fear.
This human Tier 4 martial artist actually beat him to severe injuries!
"Now, can I take over this Thunder Essence Fruit Grove?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
Looking at Ye Yuan, An Xuan even had the heart to die.
This time, it was really trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice. Not only could he not gain one Thunder Essence Fruit, but he was also even beaten until severely injured.
An Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Consider yourself ruthless! Let's go!"
"No way! You guys can't leave!" Yu Xin was just about to stop them but was stopped by Ye Yuan.
Under An Bing's assistance, An Xuan and the rest ran away with their tails between their legs.
Yu Xin stomped her feet angrily and said begrudgingly, "You barely managed to beat An Xuan until he was severely injured. How can you let him go easily?"
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Although this Thunder Essence Fruit doesn't have great use to Tier 6 experts, it's absolutely a rare treasure. You think that with An Xuan here, their old ancestor won't pay attention to this incident? Beating up An Xuan with just severe injuries is fine. But if you want to kill him, the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan will have to receive the wrath of the snake clan's old ancestor. Can you guys . . . receive it?"
Ye Yuan had long seen through that the strength of this Azure Mountain Region's Tier 6 old ancestors were roughly the same and were wary of each other. That was why they tacitly agreed to let the juniors go and clash.
Although Yu Huan's strength was a little weaker, she definitely had her own trump card too.
An Xuan's strength was not bad. The snake clan's old ancestor definitely regarded him very highly.
If they really killed An Xuan, the snake clan's old ancestor would definitely blow his top off.
At that time, the two clans fighting it out, Azure Mountain Region's balance would be broken. It was likely very hard for the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan to win and they might be in danger of being annihilated.
"This . . . "
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Yu Xin could not help being taken aback.
The Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was currently on its last legs. How could they endure the wrath of the snake clan's old
ancestor?
"If you want to kill An Xuan, you'll have to let your own strength become strong. With these Thunder Essence Fruits, why fret that you won't be An Xuan's match in the future? That fellow is nothing to be feared," Ye Yuan said coolly.
Only after Yu Xin heard this did her worry turn to joy as she said happily, "Mister Ye, by right, this fruit grove belongs to you now. Could it be that you're really going to five one-fifth to us?"
[0] Thunder is basically a synonym for lightning in CN novels, unless specified otherwise.
Chapter 638 - Maturing Overnight
"That is, of course!" Ye Yuan agreed without any hesitation.
Getting an affirmative answer, even with Yu Xin's composure, she almost jumped up too.
Although she held back a little in order to uphold the identity of a young lord, the feelings of excitement was written on the face.
"That's great! Big Brother Ye Yuan is really a very nice person!"
Yu Shu could not care that much and directly grabbed Ye Yuan's arm and started swinging.
This Thunder Essence Fruit Grove was not small. Even one-fifth was also not a small number.
With these Thunder Essence Fruits, the fox clan's strength would surely have a substantial increase. Those like Yu Xin might even be able to surpass An Xuan within a short time.
Even the ice-cold Yu Leng had a grateful smile hanging on her face at this time too.
"Really great! These Thunder Essence Fruits at most still have a month to maturity. At that time, see who still dares to bully our fox clan!" Yu Xin said agitatedly.
But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "A month? Too long! Do you feel that the snake clan will let us wait a month here peacefully?"
Yu Xin's heart thumped, "You're saying . . ."
"If they can't obtain the Thunder Essence Fruits, how can they possibly watch us wait here for the Thunder Essence Fruits to m.a.t.u.r.e? Once they return to the clan, they will definitely spread this news out. At that time, the fox clan will become a target for all," Ye Yuan said.
"Then . . . Then what to do? My fox clan is only the weakest existence among the Tier 6 demon races. We simply can't beat the other demon races! If . . . if the Blackwind Demonic Wolves get this intel . . ."
Yu Xin did not dare to continue thinking.
According to Ye Yuan's deductions, the fox clan was in an extremely perilous situation.
Initially thought that they picked up a treasure. Who knew that it turned into a hot potato in a blink of an eye.
Sometimes, obtaining a treasure was a huge lucky chance, and one could soar to the heavens in one bound because of it. However, if one did not have sufficient strength to protect these treasures, it would attract trouble, even a fatal calamity.
"Heh heh, simple. As long as you harvest these Thunder Essence Fruits before others come, that will do."
Ye Yuan was totally unconcerned as if he was talking about something trivial and ordinary.
Except, Yu Xin was unable to understand, "Harvest now? But these Thunder Essence Fruits are not m.a.t.u.r.ed yet right now. The effects are not even 10% of the m.a.t.u.r.ed period!"
Such a weak effect, eating it and not eating it was also not much different.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not ripe, we can make it ripen! Go, follow me back to the clan."
Yu Xin carried thick doubt and followed Ye Yuan back to the clan.
Although she was brimming with curiosity, Ye Yuan not talking, she also sensibly did not ask.
. . . . . .
At the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan territory, An Xuan's complexion was deathly white but with unwillingness and rage written all over.
"An Bing, spread the news of the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove out for me! Now, immediately, right away! Remember, you must let Wolf Fang know!" An Xuan said furiously.
"This . . . let Wolf Fang know, and we won't get a single Thunder Essence Fruit," An Bing said hesitantly.
"Humph! Do you think that we can get them now? I really didn't expect that that brat actually possesses such pure dragon race bloodline. If not for so, how could I have been defeated by him?" An Xuan gritted his teeth and said.
Indeed, Ye Yuan only defeated An Xuan flawlessly by relying on the suppression of bloodline power.
Although Ye Yuan could temporarily breakthrough to Fourth Level Soul Sea by relying on Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, to want to defeat the middle-stage Tier 4 An Xuan, it was still a little lacking.
Speaking of this, An Bing felt depressed.
Even though he was a bit better than the rest, he was also not much better.
Previously, under Ye Yuan's dragon race oppression, he was practically in a half-kneeling state already.
Only his strength could barely withstand the dragon race oppression.
"Young Lord, if it really can't be done, we better invite Old Ancestor to come out," An Bing said.
An Xuan's expression changed, and he rebuked, "Don't mention this matter anymore! Do you want to make the Azure Mountain Region descend into a great war? Go now and spread the news about the Thunder Essence Fruits."
After An Bing left, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness.
"Apologies, Old Ancestor. Xuan-er was incompetent."
An Xuan was not surprised by the arrival. This person was the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan's old ancestor, An Rong.
"That boy's strength indeed somewhat exceeded expectations. He actually possesses extremely pure dragon race bloodline. I was not far away back then. This matter can't be blamed on you," An Rong said coolly.
An Xuan raised his head to take a look at An Rong wanting to speak but stopped.
"Anything you want to ask, just ask away," An Rong said.
"The fox clan harboring humans, can't we use this as an excuse to exterminate them? With Old Ancestor's strength, that Yu Huan should not be a match."
Actually, An Xuan was very puzzled too. Why was his own old ancestor present but did not take any action?
"Huhu, to be able to become a Tier 6 demon clan, which one would be a pushover? It's true that my strength is stronger than Yu Huan's. But the fox clan definitely has hidden cards that we don't know about. Unless it's a last resort, we won't make a move," An Rong said with a smile.
An Xuan's gaze turned intent, and he revealed an apprehensive expression.
The snake clan naturally had their own hidden cards too. But to be able to make Old Ancestor wary as well, seems like every Tier 6 demon clan was not to be underestimated!
. . . . . .
After Ye Yuan returned to the tribe, he paid a visit to several high-level shamans in the clan.
After coming out of their places, he started closed-seclusion.
That evening, Ye Yuan exited seclusion. There was already a large group of people packed at the entrance.
Seeing Ye Yuan come out, Yu Xin went forward and asked fidgety, "How is it?"
Ye Yuan threw her a large bag and said smilingly, "Of course it succeeded! This thing is called Jingyan Powder. Dissolve it with water, then sprinkle it on the roots of the Thunder Essence Fruit Trees.
Yu Xin's expression became strict, and she said to Yu Leng, "Heard Mister Ye's words? Bring people to handle it right now!"
"Yes!" Yu Leng received the order and left.
"Come, let's go to the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove. It should be roughly done tomorrow morning," Ye Yuan said.
Yu Leng was still very capable and experienced when doing things. Very soon, she finished watering all of the Thunder Essence Fruit Trees.
"Alright, everyone has toiled for a day. All take a rest yourself. Tomorrow morning, we'll see the outcome," Ye Yuan said.
The next morning, that power of thunder and lightning which was terrifying until it made people feel asphyxiated, startling everyone awake.
"My God, how is this possible? Overnight, these Thunder Essence Fruits actually all m.a.t.u.r.ed!"
"Too inconceivable! Mister Ye is truly god-like. To actually be able to turn something rotten into
something magical!"
Yu Shu leaped up happily. "Big Brother Ye Yuan, you're really too incredible! That whatever Jingyan Powder, I couldn't discern any mystical aspect. But it actually produced such an inconceivable effect!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This is just the lowest grade Jingyan powder. If the materials were sufficient, making these Thunder Essence Fruits ripen instantaneously isn't impossible either. But sadly, the conditions were limited. This Jingyan Powder's grade was still a little low. The Thunder Essence Fruits m.a.t.u.r.ed through acceleration, they will still lose around 10% of the effect."
As an alchemist, it was coming into contact with these spirit medicines year in year out.
Forget about the Thunder Essence Fruit, even those Tier 8, Tier 9 spirit medicines, Ye Yuan had ways to accelerate their maturing too.
But with the current conditions, to be able to achieve this step was already extremely not easy.
Chapter 639 - Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood!
"I don't even dare to imagine that these Thunder Essence Fruit could actually all ripen overnight! This is simply an ability that gods and devils can't fathom! Some trifling flaws, Mister Ye don't need to take it to heart."
By the side, Yu Xin had already been dazed long ago. The scene that happened before her eyes was seriously too miraculous.
As for the 10% loss, she did not care at all.
These many Thunder Essence Fruits was enough to make up for that bit of loss.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Stop looking. Everybody go in and harvest the Thunder Essence Fruits. This stretch of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove isn't small. One-fifth of the Thunder Essence Fruits should be plenty for you all to use. Move a bit faster. I reckon that there are already people on the way."
Yu Xin nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Mister Ye."
The allure that these Thunder Essence Fruits had towards the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was seriously too great. Their combat strength leaned to the weak side originally. These Thunder Essence Fruits was an opportunity for them to become strong!
Ye Yuan also entered the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove but did not immediately harvest the Thunder Essence Fruits.
