As a bystander, Ye Yuan took the two people's strength into his sights.
Even though the two people looked to be evenly-matched in strength, Zhong Hanlin fighting to a draw with Baili Qingyan with his domineering spear already lost by a hair.
Zhong Hanlin completely did not think that Baili Qingyan would actually suddenly rush out. At this time, his expression was livid as he said, "Junior Sister Qingyan, you actually attacked me for this good-for-nothing?"
Baili Qingyan said coolly, "You should leave! He's my companion, so I won't let you kill him."
Zhong Hanlin's face changed when he heard that and said, "You wouldn't really be interested in this kid, right?"
Baili Qingyan's face turned cold and she said, "That has nothing to do with you! Still not going, don't blame me for not being courteous!"
Zhong Hanlin was angered until he stomped about in a frenzy. Carrying his long spear, he pointed at the Ye Yuan behind Baili Qingyan and said, "Kid, if you're a man, step forward and have an open and above-board battle with me! What kind of man are you considered, hiding behind a woman?"
Ye Yuan had both hands behind his back as he said calmly, "You should be thanking Miss Baili. Otherwise, you would already be a dead man now."
When Baili Qingyan heard these words, she could not resist rolling her eyes.
Why were the words said by this guy so unpleasant?
I saved you currently, alright?
It was fine if you were not grateful, you still wanted to posture.
Although Ye Yuan dodging Zhong Hanlin's palm just now surprised her a little, she did not think that Ye Yuan had the ability to deal with Zhong Hanlin, let alone talk about killing him.
When boasting, at least come up with a draft, okay?
Zhong Hanlin sneered and said, "Is that so? I'm standing right here, come kill me if you have the capabilities! I really want me to kill you!"
A cold light flashed across in Ye Yuan's eyes and he said coldly, "You really want me to kill you?"
Baili Qingyan was speechless. Interrupting Ye Yuan's words, she said, "Alright, Zhong Hanlin, you go! He and I are currently teammates. If I can't even bring him out, it will be very bad for my reputation. Whatever grudges you guys have, talk again in the future. But right now, no way!"
Zhong Hanlin gritted his teeth when he heard that. Pointing at Ye Yuan, he said, "Fine then, I'll let this punk live a little longer! A month later, I'll definitely take your life!"
Finished talking, Zhong Hanlin's figure moved, disappearing.
Baili Qingyan turned around and looked at Ye Yuan crossly as she said, "Will you die if you don't brag? Based on your strength, can you kill him?"
Ye Yuan just smiled and did not explain much.
But this scene was even more of a guilty conscience in Baili Qingyan's eyes.
This guy was clearly hiding behind her, putting up a bold front.
There were no words along the way.
Baili Qingyan was very upset with Ye Yuan and naturally could not be bothered to acknowledge him.
Ye Yuan naturally would not court a rebuff, so he also did not take the initiative to talk.
Even Baili Qingyan herself could not understand why she would take action to save Ye Yuan that day.
On the road after that, when encountering powerful fierce beasts, it was still Baili Qingyan acting to dispose of them.
But Baili Qingyan was very certain that Ye Yuan indeed had the strength to jump realms and battle.
Ordinary newly-ascended late-stage rank four fierce beasts, he could resolve them.
And this also surprised her greatly.
With Baili Qingyan's talent, jumping realms and battling was naturally not an issue.
But when she was Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, dealing with a peak Sixth Firmament Divine Lord was already her limit.
A Seventh Firmament Divine Lord was absolutely impossible for her to defeat.
But Ye Yuan clearly had this strength. No wonder this guy was so c.o.c.ky.
"Eh? There's a cave here, perhaps there are fierce beasts inside!" Baili Qingyan said with joy.
Along the way, the fierce beasts that they encountered were not considered many.
And two people forming a team required even more heavenly demon crystals.
Hence, that was why Baili Qingyan would be so excited at finding a place where there might be fierce beasts.
Either way, she was bold stemming with superb skills and did not fear fierce beasts either.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Go in and take a look then."
The two people did not walk for long when three brass bell-like eyes appeared in the two people's light of sight.
Roar!
An earth-shaking loud roar echoed out, making the two people's hearts shock.
Baili Qingyan's expression changed and she cried out in shock, "This is a Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast! Looking at this aura … it's already almost breaking through to rank five! Quickly run!"
Finished talking, Baili Qingyan's figure leaped, speeding hastily toward the cave entrance.
Chapter 1787 - Who's Saving Whom?
In the darkness, a black figure dashed over swiftly, catching up to the two in a blink of an eye.
Baili Qingyan knew that she could not escape and could only turn around and deal with it.
"You quickly run! I'll deal with him!" Baili Qingyan barked charmingly.
Ye Yuan did not escape but looked at Baili Qingyan in surprise.
This lass was actually going to sacrifice herself to save others?
At this time, with Baili Qingyan's hatred toward him, shouldn't it be leaving him behind to feed the tiger's mouth, and then escape by herself?
Baili Qingyan's strength was powerful. Sword Dao laws crisscrossed wantonly within the cave.
But, facing the powerful Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast, she was still more than a magnitude weaker.
Under the powerful impact of the fierce beast, Baili Qingyan's orderly style was thrown into chaos very quickly.
Suddenly, the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast's third eye suddenly lit up, emitting a ray of terrifying beam.
Baili Qingyan's expression changed, it was already too late to want to avoid it.
That guy should have already escaped, right? There must be something wrong with my head, why would I abandon myself to save him? This was the final thought in Baili Qingyan's mind before becoming unconscious.
Bang!
That beam of light directly struck Baili Qingyan. Baili Qingyan's body flew out backward, falling heavily to the ground, unconscious to the world.
"Roar!"
Defeating Baili Qingyan, the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast emitted a heaven-shaking roar once more. It was as if declaring its might.
He walked over toward Ye Yuan step by step. The powerful aura was virtually crushing Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan completely ignored him, slowly walked to Baili Qingyan's side, picked her up, and walked over toward outside the cave.
"Roar, roar!"
The Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast was clearly enraged by Ye Yuan. This tiny human actually did not pay attention to him!
He raised his giant claw and smacked down toward Ye Yuan.
In his view, this claw going down, Ye Yuan would definitely be smacked into a paste.
But right at this time, a terrifying aura came out of Ye Yuan's body.
This aura, even he felt a chill.
Bang!
The Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast was directly blasted flying.
...
Baili Qingyan slowly opened both eyes, everything in front of her became clear.
"I … I'm not dead yet?"
Baili Qingyan looked around, there was no one, and also no shadow of the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast.
"Who saved me? Could it be that … the Shadowmoon Sect's powerhouse just happened to pass by here? Eh … My injuries are all healed?" Baili Qingyan was full of doubts.
She clearly remembered that she was severely struck by the T
hree-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast, her injuries very serious.
But now, not only was she saved, her injuries even recovered.
"Of course it was me who saved you! You wouldn't naively think that some savior will appear, right?"
A voice rang out. Ye Yuan's figure walked out of the cave not far away.
Baili Qingyan was slightly stunned. This guy actually did not run away?
Or was it that after running away, he came back again?
Of course, regarding Ye Yuan's narrative, she would not believe even if beaten to death.
"With just you? The Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast can shred you with one claw, you still want to save me from under his hands?" Baili Qingyan said disdainfully.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Otherwise, who else do you think can save you?"
Baili Qingyan smiled coldly and said, "Of course it's the Shadowmoon Sect's powerhouse! You take the credit of others, it's in hopes of moving me, then getting into my good graces, right? You're thinking too much!"
Ye Yuan was speechless when he heard that. Please, it was you who was thinking too much, okay?
But since Baili Qingyan thought so, he could not be bothered to explain either, and casually threw a few fruits in front of Baili Qingyan.
Baili Qingyan's expression changed and she said, "These … These are Jade Citron Fruits?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "To be able to have the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast protect it, it's naturally good stuff. We are teammates, these few are yours, don't say that I don't share profits."
Baili Qingyan looked at Ye Yuan and could not help getting a big shock as she said, "You … You broke through?"
She discovered to her amazement that Ye Yuan's aura became much stronger. He actually broke through to Sixth Firmament Divine Lord in one stroke while she was unconscious.
Ye Yuan's realm had long already reached peak Fifth Firmament Divine Lord.
Finding these Jade Citron Fruits at this time, breaking through was naturally something within expectations.
It was just that in Baili Qingyan's view, this breakthrough was also a little too casual.
Even if one obtained the Jade Citron Fruit, they also could not immediately turn it into strength.
Jade Citron Fruits contained immense spiritual energy. It was even stronger than the medicinal effects of some medicinal pills.
If consumed too many, the martial artist would not be able to digest it at all.
Even if one was about to break through, they also had to go into closed-seclusion patiently to slowly refine, before it could convert into strength.
But it shouldn't have been too long from when she went into a coma until now, right?
This … Broke through like this?
How could she know that after Ye Yuan obtained the Jade Citron Fruits, he directly ate them like fruits?
With the Chaos Heavenspan Canon's overbearingness, it was naturally all refined, converging into the divine vortex.
"You refine the Jade Citron Fruits first. This way, you should be able to break through to the peak Ninth Firmament Divine Lord Realm," Ye Yuan said coolly.
Baili Qingyan felt that it was a little too dramatic. Encountering the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast, she even thought that she was dead for sure.
Who knew that in a twinkle, not only did she not die, her strength could even go up a level.
Baili Qingyan collected her emotions and started refining the Jade Citron Fruits.
After several days, Baili Qingyan slowly opened both eyes, her gaze revealing excitement.
Refining a Jade Citron Fruit, her strength already broke through to peak Ninth Firmament Divine Lord.
Confronting Zhong Hanlin again at this time, Baili Qingyan had absolute confidence in defeating the other party.
"Tsk tsk, indeed well-deserving of being a proud daughter of heaven. Your effects of refining the Jade Citron Fruit is even better than I imagined," Ye Yuan praised.
Baili Qingyan's talent could virtually rival Leng Qiuling's already.
In this void realm, she was absolutely a first-rate genius.
Even Zhong Hanlin they all were unable to be mentioned in the same breath as Baili Qingyan too.
After all, their ages were much older than Baili Qingyan.
Baili Qingyan had a proud look and said coolly, "That's of course! The Bamboo Groove Holy Temple's slot, I must obtain it!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then when the time comes, we'll become opponents."
Baili Qingyan looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly and said, "You want to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave too? Stop joking, you wouldn't think that you're invincible under the heavens after you broke through becoming a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, right?"
Ye Yuan smiled and shook his head as he said, "Are you all, these geniuses, always so condescending? There's still more than 200 years' time away from the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave. Who will emerge victorious is still unknown!"
But Baili Qingyan said very calmly, "Over 200 years, to people like you, you can at most promote to become a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord. Even if you're exceptionally talented, there's also not a trace of hope of breaking through to half-step Celestial Deity."
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "It's useless to say more for now. Let's wait and see."
Baili Qingyan also considered herself to be important and did not argue. Instead, she asked, "There's already not much of the one month's time left. The heavenly demon crystals in our hands are not considered many. It's a little troublesome now."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Someone will come and deliver heavenly demon crystals to us."
Chapter 1788 - Can't Even Win a Hand
"Did you guys hear? That guy who formed a team with Senior Sister Baili seemed to have been kicked out by Senior Sister Baili."
"Of course I heard. So do you want to go and find him too? I heard that people who went to find him were all pilfered until not even pants remain in the end!"
"This guy is also too ferocious. I didn't expect that his strength is so strong! However, he also can't jump around for much longer. I heard that Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin both went to look for him."
...
Baili Qingyan capitalized on that her strength was powerful. The places she went were all very dangerous. Otherwise, she also would not have run into such a powerful existence like the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast.
That kind of place, the martial artists encountered were naturally few.
The moment Ye Yuan and Baili Qingyan separated, it attracted a large group of people to come over and encircle him very quickly.
These people all thought that his strength was meager and purely wanted to take a bit of advantage. Who knew that they tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice, and was robbed clean of heavenly demon crystals by Ye Yuan instead.
At this time, in an open area, Ye Yuan was blocked by more than a dozen powerhouses.
These people's auras were all powerful. They were actually all Seventh and Eighth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouses.
Among these people included Zhao Zhao and Zhao Shu.
"Ye Yuan, I'll see where you're going to run this time!" Zhao Shu had an appearance like he had cornered Ye Yuan as he said these words smugly.
Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "When did I say that I was going to run? I'm here, waiting precisely for you all to deliver yourselves to the doorstep."
Zhao Zhao sneered and said, "Waiting for us to deliver ourselves to the doorstep? A toad yawning, what high-sounding sentiments! You wouldn't say that you're waiting here to snatch our heavenly demon crystals, right?"
Ye Yuan nodded his head solemnly and said, "Looks like you're not too stupid."
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, this group of people all revealed amused looks.
Did this guy's head have a problem?
Zhao Zhao shook his head and laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, "Breaking throug
h to become a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, is this your reliance? You wouldn't really think that defeating Third Brother by a fluke, you can similarly defeat me, right? Kid, I have to say that you're very naive!"
Zhao Shu also laughed loudly and said, "Truly an ignorant fool! Why do you think that Han Yong was so wary of my big brother? My big brother fused water and fire, two kinds of laws, and it's hard to find an opponent in the same rank. Moreover, we have so many people, each one has a higher realm than you. How dumb are you to say words that have such an exaggerated opinion of your abilities?"
The Devil Elephant lineage's force in the Shadowmoon Sect was very powerful. Furthermore, they themselves had many affiliated sects.
These people were all the Devil Elephant lineage's elites.
Among these dozen over people, there were even quite a number of Eighth Firmament Divine Lords.
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent look, "Is that so? Then you all attack together, let me witness your strength. I'll only use one hand, hope that you all don't disappoint me too much."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan placed his left hand behind him, with a very proud look.
The Devil Elephant lineage's disciples all had stunned faces. This guy was really crazy!
One hand dealing with so many people?
Even Duan Qinghong the three of them also did not dare to be arrogant, right?
"Hahaha, the genius Ye Yuan wants to witness the strength of us rookies. Everyone, don't be polite. Take good care of him. He's so impressive, so we mustn't let him down. All keep your chins up!" Zhao Zhao laughed loudly and said.
When everyone heard that, they immediately let out a series of loud guffaws.
"This fellow, his strength isn't strong, but his tone is even bigger than the heavens!"
"This is called as having ambition loftier than the heavens, but life thinner than paper, right? Haha!"
"Everyone, go easier, loosen up his bones and joints well for him. If he's beaten to death at once, it won't be fun."
...
Zhao Zhao waved his hand grandly, those Devil Elephant lineage's disciples all had shocking momentums, each displaying their abilities and rushing over towards Ye Yuan.
