Ye Yuan's certain kill sword was actually extinguished just like this!
Lin Chao plopped onto the ground, his face incomparably ashen. His eyes were dull and lifeless. Clearly, he had not walked out of the fear of death yet,
Ye Yuan's face fell, and he looked at Han Tong as he said icily, "Divine artifact!"
Everyone was staring fixedly on the mirror in Han Tong's hands. This mirror was actually a divine artifact of the legends!
To be able to repel Yue Jianqiu, this level of pinnacle expert, it had to be a divine artifact.
"Divine artifact! It's actually a divine artifact! Didn't think that this trip to Bright Moon City, I'd actually see a divine artifact come into being!"
"Just what background does this Divine Martial Hall have? To actually possess a divine artifact?!"
"Divine artifact coming into being, could it be that … Divine Dao is going to descend again?"
The martial artists watching the fight were all shocked to their core. They did not think that coming to watch the Bright Moon Competition, they actually saw a divine artifact come into being!
Today's battle situation was simply where developments of the situation kept reaching new heights!
First was Ye Yuan transforming into Half-Dragon Physique, then it was Lin Chao's Blood God Transformation directly breaking through to Dao Profound. Following that was Ye Yuan actually fusing supreme true intents. Lastly, even a divine artifact actually came into being as well.
In the beginning, it was still okay. But fusing supreme true intents, that was something that divine king powerhouses did!
The disparity between divine king powerhouses lied on this supreme true intents' fusion.
Only by fusing supreme true intents, could it allow a divine king's strength to surpass other divine kings.
The reason why the Ten Great Divine Kings were powerful was that they fused several kinds of powerful supreme true intents. That was how they were able to show disdain on all under the heavens!
But Ye Yuan this youngster who was just at First Level Phaseless Realm, he was actually able to fuse supreme true intents already. When he broke through to Divine King Realm, how terrifying would he be?
One could say that as long as Ye Yuan did not perish, he would inevitably become a Ten Great Divine Kings class powerhouse in the future!
As for the divine artifact, Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, that went even more without saying.
Ever since Divine Dao dwindled to zero, divine artifacts no longer appeared as well. Even the Ten Great Divine Kings only used transcendent-grade holy artifacts too.
But today, a divine artifact actually came into being once more. How could this not astonish them?
Han Tong did not answer Ye Yuan directly. His expression was likewise solemn as he said, "Truly didn't expect that at your young age, you're actually able to fuse supreme true intents already. It was this Han who miscalculated instead! Since Lin Chao is already defeated, your esteemed self is the victor. Why is there a need to exterminate ruthlessly? Our Divine Martial Hall will just concede!"
At this time, Lin Chao abruptly startled awake, and suddenly let out a loud laugh and said, "H-Haha! I'm not dead yet! I'm not dead yet! Ye Yuan, so what even if you fused supreme true intents? Aren't you still unable to kill me?"
Lin Chao state was as if he went mad, shouting at the top of his voice, venting the negative emotions in his heart.
Ye Yuan looked at Han Tong and said coolly, "If I, Ye Yuan, want to kill people, you can't stop it! Today, Lin Chao must die!"
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, the people all sighed unceasingly.
A divine artifact coming into being, even if Ye Yuan had three heads and six arms, it was also not possible to kill Lin Chao.
As long as there was Han Tong around, their Divine Martial Hall was in an impregnable position. Didn't he see that someone as powerful as Yue Jianqiu also kept a good distance away in the face of a divine artifact?
Ye Yuan's words were clearly putting up a bold front.
Han Tong sneered coldly when he heard that and said, "What an arrogant brat! I want to see just how you breakthrough the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror in my hands!"
"Haha! The Spirithorn Shattering Mirror can shatter all attacks. Unless you're an expert on the level of the Ten Great Divine Kings, otherwise, forget about wanting to break through! Just the likes of you want to kill me too?" Lin Chao said haughtily.
At this time, Yue Jianqiu slowly came to Ye Yuan's side as well, and said to Han Tong, "Since you all have a divine artifact in possession, I'll spare you all from death today! Bring your people and immediately get lost for me!"
Han Tong chuckled and said to Yue Jianqiu with cupped fists, "It's still City Lord Yue who knows better! This Han will take his leave here! Ye Yuan, your talent surpasses others, but desperately upholding your face, the one who loses face can only be you."
Done talking, Han Tong brought Lin Chao was about just about to leave.
"Halt!" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.
Han Tong turned around and said indifferently, "What? What guidance do you still have?"
"Did I let you guys go?" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Yue Jianqiu also did not think that Ye Yuan would pester so unreasonably. The other party was holding a divine artifact in his hand. Once they lost all decorum, Bright Moon City would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Even if they could strike down the other party, in the end, the losses outweighed the gains too.
"Ye Yuan, as long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Better let them leave first! The might of a divine artifact is not what you can contend with!" Yue Jianqiu urged.
"Hahaha! He who understands the times is a wise man! Ye Yuan, you even used supreme true intent fusion. Could it be that you still have some trump card?" Han Tong said with a laugh.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "I, Ye Yuan, always mean what I say! If I want Lin Chao to die, then he has to die today!"
Seeing Ye Yuan still harass with an unreasonable demand, Han Tong was finally truly enraged: "Humph! Truly refusing face when it's given! If not for cherishing divine essence, you'd already become a dead man earlier! Is it possible that you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
Rumble!
Ye Yuan did not speak. Two streams of black and azure force formed around him once again. He was actually going to use the Spirit Extinguishing Azure Cloud Sword once more!
"Reckless and blind thing! Since you're seeking death yourself, then I can't save you either!" While talking, Han Tong brought out the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror.
"Spirit Extinguishing Azure Cloud Sword, kill!"
One sword unleashed, shook the world!
"Fool! It's all the same outcome even if it's repeated a thousand times! Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, break for me!" Han Tong shouted.
But right at this time, an enormous pagoda descended from the sky, crushing toward Lin Chao!
Chapter 951 - Went Missing
The Vast Heaven Pagoda carried the might of heaven and earth, and it appeared behind Han Tong unexpectedly.
This scene was too sudden. Everyone did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had such a trick.
Rumble!
A loud crash was heard. The people felt the earth was trembling.
The Vast Heaven Pagoda directly smashed towards Lin Chao, crushing him into minced meat!
Over here, Han Tong used the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror to extinguish Ye Yuan's attack. But Lin Chao still died!
"Another divine artifact! My God, what on earth is happening to this world?"
"Fool, that pagoda isn't a divine artifact, but a quasi-divine artifact! But even if it's a quasi-divine artifact, it already infinitely approaches divine artifact too!"
"Ye Yuan this boy, he actually had such a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter, to be able to obtain a quasi-divine artifact! With this ingenious move to gain the upper-hand, it really let him kill Lin Chao!"
The Vast Heaven Pagoda's appearance stirred up a commotion among the crowd once more.
Today, these martial artists really broadened their horizons.
Fusing supreme true intents, divine artifact, quasi-divine artifact, one appeared after another. It simply refreshed their three views on life.
What shocked them the most was still Ye Yuan!
This young man was too scary! His own strength was terrifying to the extreme. Furthermore, he even had innumerable contingencies!
Han Tong wielded a divine artifact and was incomparably arrogant. But he ultimately still suffered a loss at Ye Yuan's hands.
Ye Yuan raised his palm. The Vast Heaven Pagoda returned to his palm.
He put the Vast Heaven Pagoda away and said to Han Tong nonchalantly, "So what if divine artifact? If I, Ye Yuan, want to kill people, nobody can stop it! Alright, now, you guys can scram!"
Done talking, Ye Yuan turned around to leave, flying over in Yue Mengli's direction.
Han Tong was infuriated until he clenched his jaws tightly, his entire body quivering continuously. Looking at Ye Yuan's back view, he made no effort to conceal his killing intent in the slightest.
At the same time, several auras already locked onto him. As long as he moved, what awaited him would be a terrifying blow!
Although he possessed a divine artifact, his scruples were also a lot.
Finally, he still gave a cold snort and said to Li Hun and the others, "Let's go!"
Yue Mengli walked gracefully and went to greet Ye Yuan, and hurriedly supported him.
Using the Spirit Extinguishing Azure Cloud Sword twice in a row, the burden on Ye Yuan's body was tremendous. The current Ye Yuan was already on the verge of collapsing.
"Big Brother Yuan, it was hard on you!" Yue Mengli said in relief.
...
Outside Bright Moon City, Han Tong and the others were walking unhurriedly.
"A bunch of reckless things. They also don't use their brains to think properly. Is a divine artifact what they can covet?" Han Tong said to a subordinate.
Han Tong exposing the divine artifact would naturally draw the covetous eyes of forces everywhere.
At present, there were seven to eight major and minor factions targeting them. These people were wary of the divine artifact in Han Tong's hands, and also apprehensive of other forces benefiting from their struggle. Hence, that was why they exercised restraint and did not make a move.
"They are naturally aware. It's just that the temptation of a divine artifact is too great!" Li Hun said with a cold smile.
Han Tong said solemnly, "Draw them towards a place with less people. Spare no one!"
Lin Chao mastering the Blood God Transformation, the Divine Martial Hall attached a great deal of importance to him. Coming to Bright Moon City this time also had the intention of experiencing trials. But he did not expect that he was crushed by Ye Yuan just like that.
The current Han Tong had a stomach full of rage that just happened to have nowhere to vent. But these guys delivered themselves to the doorstep one by one.
If they did not have the strength to protect a divine artifact, how would they dare to reveal it?
Actually, everybody understood the logic. It was just that how many people were able to endure the temptation of a divine artifact?
A day later, inside a forest where few people tread, corpses were strewn all over the ground disorderly.
Among these corpses, the strongest one actually had late-stage Dao Profound Realm strength.
However, their strengths were not worth mentioning at all in front of Han Tong and his people.
"Your Excellency, these tail-ends are already taken care of. What should we do now?" Li Hun patted his hands and asked Han Tong.
Han Tong said with a solemn face, "The objective of this trip is the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. Since we're already unable to enter with conventional means, then we can only use force! There's still a few days away from the opening of the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm. We'll hide first and wait for the right time to take action!"
"Then … the matter of Lin Chao being killed …" Li Hun said, rather hesitantly.
The moment Han Tong heard, his expression became even darker and he said, "Ye Yuan that brat will definitely enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm. At that time, we'll settle the scores together!"
...
After Ye Yuan rested for a day, he recovered to his peak state.
When he exited seclusion, he discovered that there were already quite a number of people waiting for him.
The first one he had to meet was naturally Yue Jianqiu.
He was Li-er's father. This face had to be given.
Seeing Ye Yuan again, Yue Jianqiu stared at him for a long time, as if it was his first time seeing Ye Yuan.
"City Lord Yue, does this Ye have flowers on his face?" Ye Yuan could only voice out.
Yue Jianqiu froze, then said, "This emperor has lived for many years. I can't tell how many young geniuses I've met. But someone unfathomable like you, it's still my first time encountering! Ye Yuan, you won the Bright Moon Competition,;we're considered as a family as well. Can you give me an explanation as to just what kind of relationship is between you and the Soul Martial Divine King?"
Ye Yuan looked at Yue Jianqiu and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Soul Martial Divine King? This Ye don't know him!"
The more Ye Yuan pretended to be profound, the more Yue Jianqiu could not figure him out. The more firmly Ye Yuan denied it, the more certain Yue Jianqiu was that he and Zhong Zizhen's relationship was not shallow.
But this sort of thing, there was no way for Ye Yuan to admit it personally.
He and Zhong Zizhen's relationship was indeed not shallow. But it was definitely not that sort of relationship Yue Jianqiu they all thought.
But this sort of influence, Ye Yuan did not mind borrowing it.
"Then … the quasi-divine artifact in your hands …"
To talk about what Yue Jianqiu wanted to know the most, it was naturally still the Vast Heaven Pagoda's information.
Quasi-divine artifact, this kind of thing was too sensational in the Divine Realm. Although the Vast Heaven Pagoda could not compare to a genuine divine artifact, the might of a quasi-divine artifact was already sufficiently daunting.
More importantly, the one who possessed the quasi-divine artifact was even his, Yue Jianqiu's, prospective son-in-law.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "City Lord Yue didn't go and chase that Han Tong, but come and ask about my pagoda, where's the logic? No matter what, my pagoda can't compare to his Spirithorn Shattering Mirror either, right? According to what I know, the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror is an ancient divine artifact. Its power is extremely formidable. Furthermore … it even has a terrifying ability, which is that it's able to shatter space! In my view, although those people retreated for the time being, they probably won't withdraw easily either, right?"
What Ye Yuan thought of, how could Yue Jianqiu not think of it?
Hearing Ye Yuan bring it up, he heaved and sighed. He then said, "After the Bright Moon Competition, I sent a Yue Family's expert to follow their tracks. As a result …"
Ye Yuan's face fell slightly, and he asked, "As a result what?"
"News just came. Inside a dense forest 30 thousand miles north of Bright Moon City, over a hundred corpses were discovered. Among them had that disciple of my Yue Family. Those people's traces have already utterly gone missing!" Yue Jianqiu said solemnly.
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath. Did not expect that this bunch of people were actually so foolproof when doing things.
"Looks like the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm opening this time, it probably wouldn't be too peaceful!"
Chapter 952 - Sun and Moon Joint-Brilliance!
When Ye Yuan and Yue Jianqiu were conversing in the inner-chamber, Yue Mengli's side was already thoroughly being assaulted.
"Li-er, your Uncle Jianye has doted on you dearly since young. The medicinal pills you ate when you were y
oung, a lot of them were refined for you by Uncle Jianye. In a while, when our son-in-law comes out, can you let your Uncle Jianye meet him?"
"Bullshit! Back then, when you heard that Li-er found a Lower Realms' bumpkin, you had no lack of objections! Li-er, to talk about doting you, it's still your Uncle Jianxun who's most fond of you! When you were young, Uncle Jianxun often carried you."
"I say, Elder Brothers, all of you stop fighting! This younger brother's illness is deadly and brooks no delay!" Yue Jianfeng shouted.
This period of time filled Yue Jianfeng with burning anxiety.
Ye Yuan's words on that day were constantly lingering beside his ear, making him live in the midst of depression the whole time.
He wanted to find Ye Yuan to inquire just what it actually was, but Ye Yuan was too busy.
First was helping Yue Mengli to refine the Soul Separating Pill, immediately following that was closed-seclusion. Then after coming out was taking part in the Bright Moon Competition.
These were all important matters concerning the family clan. How could he squeeze inside?
Now, the dust of the Bright Moon Competition finally settled, he came over to find Ye Yuan straight away. But Ye Yuan was too in demand right now. A large group of people was waiting and lining up here.
Seeing this group of uncles arguing to see Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli felt honored because of it too.
"Uncles, not that Li-er isn't helping you all, but it's really that Li-er is unable to make the decision for Big Brother Yuan! Who he wants to meet, it's best for him to come and decide himself after he comes out," Yue Mengli said with a flattering smile.
Just as they were talking, Yue Jianqiu and Ye Yuan came out from the inner-chamber. The hall quietened down all of a sudden.
Yue Jianqiu's expression was rather ugly. Ye Yuan was simply impervious to everything. He did not obtain any useful information at all.
Rather, Ye Yuan's analysis made him faintly worry about Han Tong and his group.
Yue Jianqiu swept a glance over everyone and did not say anything either, and he directly left.
The moment he left, a group of people crowded around all at once, chirping non-stop.
