"This array formation is rather interesting. However … want to deal with me with just the likes of it?"
Tan Si gave a cold laugh. A short blood-colored small saber appeared in his hand.
"Blood … Moon … Slash!"
Tan Si said it word for word. A horrifying half-moon blood-colored saber light chopped down at the grand array!
Liu Yusheng's expression was incomparably solemn. He poured all of the essence energy in his body into the array formation without holding anything back.
The aura of Tan Si's move was completely different from that slash previously. The power was more than several times stronger!
He knew that just by relying on this Spirit Profound Unity Formation, he probably could not withstand this move at all.
But at this moment, he did not have a second option either. There was only meeting the enemy with all his power!
But right at this time, the Spirit Profound Unity Formation erupted with rays of brilliant light once more. A stream of violent flames gushed out once again, colliding together with Tan Si's saber light.
Evenly matched!
Liu Yusheng looked at this scene in front of his eyes disbelievingly. Tan Si's saber light was actually blocked by them!
"Wah … Big …"
Yan Ling suddenly cried out, clearly very excited. But her words had yet to be uttered when she saw Ye Yuan shake his head slightly, indicating to her to not speak.
The little girl was very sharp, and she hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Ling-er, this is our little secret. Don't tell others, okay." Ye Yuan transmitted.
The little girl nodded her head excitedly, as if guarding some earth-shaking secret, exceedingly pleased with herself inwardly.
Other people all did not notice Ye Yuan's actions. Only Yan Ling this little girl noticed it.
Yan Jun did not know what it meant and shouted fiercely, "Yan Ling, what are you messing around here for? Quickly go back to the carriage!"
The lass stuck out her mouth and ran away swiftly.
After Yan Ling left, Yan Jun let out a long sigh and said to Liu Yusheng, "Elder Brother Liu is indeed formidable. This array formation, even an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert is actually powerless against it!"
"H-Haha! What Earth Carnage Proclamation expert! I think it's merely nothing more than this!" Liu Yusheng said with a big laugh.
What's going on today? Could it be that I was performing abnormally well and made the power of the array formation rise to a greater height? Liu Yusheng thought to himself, secretly.
One time could still be said to be a coincidence. If it was twice in a row, that it was him breaking through unknowingly!
He was the entire array formation's core. Only he could unleash such a swift and fierce attack.
Tan Si's expression was incomparably livid. He did not expect that this lousy array formation could actually block his attack.
Especially that flame attack which suddenly appeared just now. The process from beginning to end was unbelievably intimidating. It was actually almost on par with his Blood Moon Slash!
But he did not believe that a measly little mercenary group could possess the power to contend with him.
If the other party really had this strength, that slash earlier would absolutely not attain that kind of an effect.
Among these people, there must be an expert!
It was just that this person did not want to expose himself, so he made use of Liu Yusheng's hand to deal with him.
Looks like earlier, it was this person taking action too. That was how it burned the Heart Devouring Bugs he nurtured painstakingly cleanly in one go.
Tan Si looked at Liu Yusheng and said with a cold smile, "Just based on the likes of trash like you are also fit to be my opponent?"
Liu Yusheng said without fear knowing that he had something to fall back on, "Heh, our mercenary group has never upheld individual strength! Everybody tiding over the difficult hurdles together, that's a victory! Even if I'm not your match, you can't do anything to us either!"
"Leader is mighty!"
"We're the strongest!"
"Leader, we love you!"
"Hahaha!"
Liu Yusheng's words greatly encouraged all of the mercenary group.
Even though it made no sense, these members were brimming with confidence at this time too. The fear towards an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert previously already melted away into thin air at present.
An Earth Carnage Proclamation expert of the legends did not seem impossible to beat.
Ye Yuan secretly found it hilarious in his heart. This guy really knew how to take the opportunity to win over people's hearts.
But to be able to make the Green Sea Mercenary Group cultivate the Spirit Profound Unity Formation to this sort of extent, this Liu Yusheng was indeed not someone simple.
If not for running into an expert like Tan Si, there should not be too much of a problem for Liu Yusheng to go in and out of the Chaotic Devil Sea's border-regions.
Tan Si was angered until his face turned black. The scar on his face appeared even more savage.
But Tan Si did not quibble over anything. At the Chaotic Devil Sea, this kind of place, strength was all of the capital to talk.
He could not do anything to this mercenary group. Saying any other big talk was also of no help to the matter.
His gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the mercenary group, wanting to find that hidden expert.
When his gaze swept to Ye Yuan, it paused for a bit. So many years of lingering between life and death made his strength improve by a large margin. It also made his perception become extremely keen.
When Tan Si first laid eyes on Ye Yuan, he felt that Ye Yuan was different from the rest.
But very soon, he himself denied his thinking.
Ye Yuan's cultivation realm was too low, and his age was too young as well. It was completely impossible to be that hidden expert.
But apart from Ye Yuan, he could not find any other suspicious person at all.
"What are you looking at? Are you fighting or not? If you're not fighting, we still have to hurry on with our journey!" Liu Yusheng said haughtily.
Tang Shi gave Liu Yusheng a glance and said with a cold snort, "Consider yourselves lucky today. Pray that you don't land in my hands!"
Finished talking, Tan Si's figure moved, and he vanished before everyone's eyes.
"Hahaha! An Earth Carnage Proclamation's expert was sent packing by our Green Sea Mercenary Group! Returning to Luo Ding City this time, our Green Sea Mercenary Group's status will probably become transcendent!" Liu Yusheng said with a big laugh.
Yan Jun also clasped his hands and congratulated him,"Congratulations, Elder Brother Liu! For Elder Brother Liu to be able to drive an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert away, the Green Sea Mercenary Group is fully deserving of being the number one mercenary group in Luo Ding City! From hereafter, no one else will be able to surpass!"
"Haha, that doesn't matter! This time, it's still all thanks to Owner Yan. If not for you hiring us this time, we wouldn't have this chance" Liu Yusheng was unbelievably high-spirited and enthusiastic at this time.
Earth Carnage Proclamation's expert. They were all legendary existences to them.
One had to know that somewhere as large as the Chaotic Devil Sea, how many millions of Heaven Enlightenment Realm experts there were?
But the Earth Carnage Proclamation merely just recorded 500 people!
These 500 people were the most powerful existences among Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists.
Rumors had it that Earth Carnage Proclamation experts crossing realms to defeat ordinary Phaseless Realms was nothing difficult. From this, one could tell just how formidable the strengths of Earth Carnage Proclamation experts were!
To be able to drive away such an expert, it was sufficient to let the Green Sea Mercenary Group become famous all over the world!
"That … Not that I want to pour cold water
, that person probably …" Ye Yuan's words were spoken halfway.
He was stopped by Yan Jun.
Chapter 864 - Suddenly Turning Back
"My Master Ye, don't make any more divine prophecies!" Yan Jun was filled with terror after the incident.
The moment Ye Yuan spoke just now, it immediately gave everyone a huge fright. Said whatever, it would come. If Ye Yuan's crow mouth kept on talking, they would even worry whether or not it would draw a Deity Realm powerhouse over.
Ye Yuan blinked his eyes twice, indicating he would not talk anymore. Only then did Yan Jun heave a sigh in relief and let go of his hand.
Ye Yuan said with an innocent face, "I was only warning you guys a little out of goodwill. Was it necessary?"
"Necessary!" Yan Jun and Liu Yusheng cried out in one voice.
Scaring away Tan Si, the party finally set off on the journey once again.
The experts in this region were basically all killed off by Tan Si. Along the way, it became much more relaxed instead. There was not even a single person picking a quarrel.
And thanks to Ye Yuan's final sentence not coming out of his mouth, that Tan Si actually did not come to find trouble either.
But along the way, Liu Yusheng kept his spirit up 120%, so as to respond to Tan Si's ambush.
Although Ye Yuan's words were not said finish, he took it to heart.
Dealing with Tan Si, this kind of expert, he did not dare to loosen up at all either.
If there were no Spirit Profound Unity Formation, he would definitely be instantly killed effortlessly.
But no idea why, Tan Si never appeared again either.
Actually, it was not that Tan Si really did not appear before. He had always been following nearby the trade caravans. There was even one time where he wanted to sneak attack. But each sneak attack, he would always be scared away by a faintly discernible divine sense.
His actions could not hide from Ye Yuan's eyes and ears at all. Ye Yuan only warned him not to act rashly without careful thought with divine sense.
Only then did Tan Si confirm that there was absolutely an expert who's strength was a level higher than his within these trade caravans.!
The other party did not wish to expose his identity, that was why he would use this kind of method to warn him. If he really had no sense to appreciate favors, the other party would likely really make a move to kill.
Tan Si killed people like flies, but it did not mean that he did not fear death.
Throwing an egg against a rock, this sort of thing, he would not do it.
Even though Ye Yuan detested Tan Si's killing on sight habit, he was not a pedantic person either. People like Tan Si were too abundant in the Chaotic Devil Sea, completely could not be killed finish.
Since Tan Si was sensible, then Ye Yuan would not be bothered to make a move on him.
After this, Ye Yuan used Fiery to create a clone to leave in the carriage, but he himself entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda to cultivate.
Speaking of which, Ye Yuan's cultivation realm increase these two years was rather rapid. But concepts comprehension speed slowed down.
It was hard for there to be leisure time. Ye Yuan naturally could not waste it.
Inside the Vast Heaven Stele's consciousness space, Ye Yuan's brows were furrowed tightly, muttering to himself, "This Scorching Supreme True Intent's final step, how should I cross over? No wonder Spirit Bristle that fellow is so powerful. This Scorching True Intent is indeed not that easy to comprehend!"
Ye Yuan already reached the final step of comprehending the Scorching Supreme True Intent.
That feeling was clearly right within touch already. But Ye Yuan kept failing to grasp that tiny bit.
Legends had it that when the Scorching Supreme True Intent was cultivated to the extreme, it could incinerate myriad life, invincible. It could be seen from this how powerful this supreme true intent was.
But the more powerful the thing, the harder it naturally was to comprehend as well.
Ye Yuan had advanced on this path for many years and borrowed the help of the Vast Heaven Stele before reaching his present boundary.
But wanting to break through this final hurdle was not that easy.
Inside this consciousness space, Ye Yuan had suffered goodness knows how much pain. But this final step, he kept failing to see hope.
Ye Yuan suddenly smacked his head and said regretfully, "Why am I so stupid! The Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's own martial techniques originally contains fire attribute true intent inside. Spirit Bristle that fellow also trained in the martial techniques before comprehending supreme true intent. I insist on ignoring the shortcut and not take it, isn't that utterly foolish?"
It was also that Ye Yuan's comprehension abilities were too high. Along the way, the majority of the time was him comprehending supreme true intents himself, and creating martial techniques himself.
Towards the end, he rarely used the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's own cultivation method anymore.
Once this kind of habit formed, it would form a serious stagnation, making Ye Yuan disdainful to learn the good points of other martial techniques.
Little did he realize that future generations all stood on the shoulders of predecessors.
As a divine art, how could the power of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's own martial technique be ordinary?
Training this series of martial techniques to the great circle of perfection, Ye Yuan's Scorching True Intent would be achieved naturally!
Going along with the martial techniques to comprehend a supreme true intent was much easier than comprehending it out of thin air.
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath. His consciousness withdrew out of the Vast Heaven Stele, and he started pondering about the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's cultivation method.
Starting from the first move, Absolute Yang Finger, Ye Yuan slowly tidied up this set of martial techniques' sequence of ideas.
With Ye Yuan's comprehension towards the Scorching True Intent and Transmission True Intent presently, he had a brand new understanding when he comprehended these martial techniques anew.
As a set of divine art, the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was originally passed down in the same vein. Its martial techniques were naturally passed down linearly too.
Ye Yuan recalled his comprehensions towards true intent and discovered that this series of martial techniques followed along the true intent's development train of thoughts and created this set of cultivation method.
"The fourth level, Heavenly Flame Palm!"
"The fifth level, Cloud Converging Fire!"
"The sixth level, uh … Void Fire Mark!"
Ye Yuan discovered to his shock that cultivating the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's martial techniques to the sixth level already reached the level of supreme true intent!
Didn't that mean that as long as he cultivated according to the prescribed routine, he would have already comprehended the supreme true intent now?
This discovery made Ye Yuan smile bitterly to no end. It was really sitting on a treasure mountain but knowing it!
The final three levels of martial techniques, each level corresponded to three stages of supreme true intent.
As long as Ye Yuan fully comprehended the final profound meaning of the Nine Suns Burning Heaven, grasping ninth-stage Scorching Supreme True Intent would naturally be nothing difficult.
Actually, this really could not be blamed on Ye Yuan. His comprehensions in Sword Dao was too strong, resulting in the martial techniques he created to be stronger than the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's moves.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Ye Yuan's comprehensions into the Sword Dao's supreme true intent already reached fifth-stage!
"Suddenly turning back, but that person is under that waning light 1 ! I rushed forward blindly, but neglected the scenery behind me!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.
No one would not not err. It was impossible for Ye Yu
an too.
Ye Yuan was too confident in his comprehension abilities. But he never thought that his comprehensions into the Martial Dao had merely just started for 10 years.
Without the acc.u.mulation of time, how could these extremely profound supreme true intents be so easy to comprehend?
It was true that the Spirit Bristle Divine King was powerful. But the time he spent immersed in this Dao was what Ye Yuan could not catch up to even if he whipped his horse!
Thinking through this link, Ye Yuan no longer hesitated and started cultivating the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's auxiliary martial techniques anew.
Ye Yuan did not slack off. He started cultivating from the first level's Absolute Yang Finger.
This was a complete martial technique system. Missing any links might cause an enormous influence on the comprehension at the back.
With Ye Yuan's experience and knowledge, he naturally would not make mistakes here.
But when he truly started to cultivate this martial technique, he still discovered that he thought of things too simply. A line from a poem
Chapter 865 - Second Supreme True Intent!
The martial techniques in the first few levels, Ye Yuan accomplished with high proficiency. He only spent less than two days to settle it.
But when he reached the sixth level, Ye Yuan's speed dropped all of a sudden.
Void Fire Mark this martial technique was the breakthrough point of the supreme true intent; very hard to train.
Ye Yuan spent half a month's time before barely managing to train it to minor accomplishment. It was still a step away from comprehending the supreme true intent.
But cultivating the Void Fire Mark corroborated with Ye Yuan's own comprehensions previously. It still let him have a deeper understanding of the Scorching Supreme True Intent.
"There's still one last chaos gem. Looks like wihout using this chaos gem, I'll probably not be able to comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent within a short time!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.
The chaos gems extorted from Long Teng, Ye Yuan was finally going to use them up as well.
Ye Yuan was very decisive and did not have much hesitation before directly firing the chaos gem into the Vast Heaven Stele!
