Ye Yuan's arrogant attitude yesterday was still vivid in his mind.
Li Yiping's anger was stirred up.
Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed and he said, "A bunch of self-righteous idiots! For the sake of so-called face, you wanted to deal a fatal blow. Starting from today, you all will experience the taste of fear. Of course, you can't feel it right away now."
Li Yiping burst into laughter and said, "Fear? Haha, this kind of emotion can only be given to others by the High Clarity Sect! Just based on your bit of strength, you wouldn't really think that you're invincible under the heavens, right?"
Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Not to the extent of invincible under the heavens, but dealing with you all, these self-righteous fools, it's sufficient!"
Below the stage, when everyone heard Ye Yuan's heroic words, they had disdainful faces.
High Clarity Sect's strength was truly powerful until it made people frightened.
Just based on a puny little Ye Yuan, it was simply impossible to do it.
Disregarding the others, Yang Shen's strength was powerful until it was freakish.
In the last round, Yang Shen only used one move and defeated a Second Firmament Celestial Deity, neat and tidily.
In comparison, Ye Yuan defeating He Yuan with one move was simply weak to the max.
"The hour has arrived. Begin!" Du Rufeng announced.
He looked at Ye Yuan very curiously, wanting to see just how many surprises Ye Yuan could still bring him.
Without a doubt, Yi Qingxiang's injuries were treated by Ye Yuan.
Seeing Yi Qingxiang's injuries recover that day, and his strength improving a step further, he got a shock.
He touched his heart and asked himself, even if it was himself taking action, it was also impossible to do it to this extent.
This kid's Alchemy Dao strength was remarkable!
No wonder Treasure Pig would rather not want Lord Little Tong and also wanted to follow Ye Yuan.
Speaking of which, His Excellency definitely also discovered Ye Yuan's extraordinariness, that was why he would stay by his side.
Suddenly, Du Rufeng's pupils constricted, looking at the stage gasping in astonishment.
Li Yiping was dead!
"Just a blink of an eye and he died?"
"Li Yiping didn't react at all and his head hit the ground already!"
"Really too strong! What 64th place, the Profound Realm Tablet's test simply doesn't work on this guy!"
...
Below the stage, many people still had not reacted to what was going on.
Li Yiping's strength was sufficient to rank around the 20th place among these 64 people.
Even he did not react, let alone the others.
Especially High Clarity Sect's disciples, each and every one of their faces were ugly to the extreme.
Ye Yuan was provoking them!
Bian Ziqiu's face was almost distorted, extremely frightened in his heart.
His strength was slightly stronger than Li Yiping's, but it was already limitedly strong, around ten plus ranking.
Ye Yuan could instantly kill Li Yiping, he could naturally one-shot him too.
To think that they were still pledging in all solemnness before, saying to teach Ye Yuan a good lesson.
Thinking about it now, it was simply a joke!
Bian Ziqiu suddenly recalled the words Ye Yuan said just now and his pupils could not help constricting.
Now, he really experienced the taste of fear!
Ye Yuan was clearly here to stand up for Yi Qingxiang, he was definitely inside the certain-kill list.
Rather, He Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart at this time.
Luckily, Ye Yuan did not go nuts in the first round. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand here now.
Of course, he did not dare to express this sort of emotion.
Yang Shen's expression was gloomy to the extreme and he said in a solemn voice, "Starting from the next round, everyone who meets Ye Yuan, admit defeat straight away! Leave this kid to me!"
As if afraid that everyone was not vigilant enough, he emphasized: "Must admit defeat straight away, don't give him a chance to attack! Remember, it's everyone!"
At this time, High Clarity Sect's rank two, Chen Tianlin frowned and said, "Yang Shen, how to do it is our business, it's not your turn to tell us what to do!"
This Chen Tianlin was a peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity too. His realm was similar to Yang Shen's, but he was not Yang Shen's match.
This Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, he was also a hot candidate to enter the temple.
According to past situations, he could definitely get into the top five.
Toward Yang Shen's words, he was very displeased.
Forget about the rest, he did not think that his strength could not even cross swords with Ye Yuan.
As High Clarity Sect's number two figure, he had his own pride too. Making him admit defeat immediately, he could not afford to lose that face.
Yang Shen gave him a glance and said with a cold snort, "If you want to seek death, that's up to you too!"
Chen Tianlin was just about to speak, but then he heard High Clarity Sect's elder say in a solemn voice, "Tianlin, do it according to Yang Shen's words! This kid is very dangerous! Entering the temple is our ultimate goal."
Chen Tianlin's brows furrowed and he answered, "Alright."
Although he agreed verbally, he was very disapproving in his heart.
He examined himself, if caught off-guard, one-shotting Li Yiping in one move could also be accomplished.
Ye Yuan was merely using this kind of method to frighten the High Clarity Sect. In the end, Yang Shen and the elder were afraid.
Truly disgraceful!
Ye Yuan walked down the stage lightly. Yang Shen's figure moved, blocking Ye Yuan's path like a ghost.
"You're courting death!" Yang Shen said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shen and said with a smile, "These words, your High Clarity Sect has already said many times. It's too bad that after all is said and done, it's all big talk. Moreover, it was you guys who provoked me first!"
Yang Shen said in a cold voice, "You think that you're invincible by comprehending spatial law, do you?"
Others could not tell, how could he, Yang Shen, fail to see it?
Ye Yuan smiled faintly as he said, "Invincible or not, I don't know, but since you all want to play, then I'll play till the end with you all! If I didn't guess wrongly, you made him directly concede defeat, right? You can try, see if they have the chance to concede or not!"
Chapter 1831 - You All, Can't Even Admit Defeat
"You can try, see if they have the chance to concede or not!"
These words were akin to a heavy hammer, smashing onto the hearts of High Clarity Sect's people.
If Ye Yuan said these words the last time, no one would take it seriously at all.
But now, he had this confidence to say these words!
One-shotting Li Yiping with one move, this was not what everyone could do.
Yang Shen's two eyes narrowed, shooting out two cold rays of light.
This Ye Yuan was too rampant!
Suddenly, Yang Shen's gaze landed on Baili Qingyan and he said with a cold smile, "If I'm not mistaken, this is your lover, right? Heh, do you think that only you can kill people?"
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed, expression turning gloomy.
How strong Yang Shen's strength was, Ye Yuan was not clear. But he absolutely would not underestimate the other party.
It was true that Ye Yuan was confident, but he was never arrogant.
"If you want to kill me, feel free to come and try! Although my Shadowmoon Sect can't match up to your High Clarity Sect, we still have this bit of backbone!" Ye Yuan had not spoken yet and Baili Qingyan already spoke up first.
Yi Qingxiang also said coolly, "At most it's death! Even if the three of us all die, three lives for seven lives, it's also more than enough to break-even!"
Yi Qingxiang's words had just landed when Jiang Xueyan actually showed a rare support for Ye Yuan as she said, "Your High Clarity Sect's face can't be provoked, then can my Shadowmoon Sect be trampled upon by anybody?"
Ye Yuan looked at the three people rather surprisedly, not expecting that they were actually so supportive.
Was this still those people he knew?
Baili Qingyan was still alright; she had pride in her bones. Ye Yuan could feel it.
But Yi Qingxiang and Jiang Xueyan indeed greatly exceeded his expectations.
Hearing this, Yang Shen's expression was ugly to the extreme.
He suddenly discovered that the High Clarity Sect's domineeringness already forced the Shadowmoon Sect to twist into a rope.
These four people's stances were to fight to the bitter end with the High Clarity Sect.
Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shena and said coolly, "You hear that? My Shadowmoon Sect's dignity is similarly not allowed to be provoked! Since you all picked the fight first, then you have to be prepared to be counter-attacked by us! Let's go!"
Finished talking, the Shadowmoon Sect's few people immediately left.
Returning to Upper Groove Court, Ye Yuan's expression was not as composed as before anymore.
"Elder Xu, is Yang Shen's strength very strong?" Ye Yuan asked.
Seeing Ye Yuan asked, only now did Xu Yan let out a sigh and said, "I still thought that you had anger going to your head and was blind with arrogance!"
It was not that he did not know the danger of provoking the High Clarity Sect like this. It was just that he similarly did not want sully the Shadowmoon Sect's reputation, that was why he did not stop it.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The High Clarity Sect is bullying people too far. We merely stayed at the Upper Groove Court, but they wanted to take people's lives like there's a great enmity. Senior Apprentice Sister Jiang's luck in the first round was a little better and didn't run into the High Clarity Sect's people. But once she runs into them at the back, they'll definitely still deal a deadly blow. As for Senior Apprentice Sister Baili, Yang Shen probably won't let her off either. Even if I don't do this, they won't let us have an easy time too."
Ye Yuan saw it very penetratingly, the High Clarity Sect was this domineering.
They felt that their face was more important than anything and did not allow anyone to tower above him.
The Shadowmoon Sect staying in the Upper Groove Court touched that s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e nerve of theirs.
They did not give Yi Qingxiang a chance to admit defeat, immediately taking off his lower jaw when they came up. This already explained everything.
It was precisely because of so that Ye Yuan had killing intent aroused.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Xu Yan's brows knitted tightly together.
Clearly, he did not think as thoroughly as Ye Yuan.
"Yang Shen is known as the High Clarity Sect's number one genius in one million years! His strength is very formidable! But just how strong it is, apart from the High Clarity Sect's people, no one knows. Normally speaking, disciples taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, the disparity in strength would not be too great. Of course, there are exceptions too. You're one, Yang Shen should be one as well!" Xu Yan said with a solemn look.
Ye Yuan fell silent when he heard that. Everyone did not speak, quietly looking at him.
Little Tong also looked at Ye Yuan very curiously, wanting to see how he would resolve the present situation.
After a moment, Ye Yuan's gaze swept across everyone's faces and he said, "Senior Apprentice Sister Jiang, I'll refine a Jadethaw Purpleheart Pill for you and help you break through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity."
Jiang Xueyan's eyes lit up, immediately feeling inexplicably surprised.
She did not think that she could actually obtain the Jadethaw Purpleheart Pill too.
Actually, when Yi Qingxiang got this medicinal pill, she was very covetous.
But she knew that Ye Yuan's impression of her was very bad, so she also gave up hope.
Did not expect that under this kind of circ.u.mstance, Ye Yuan actually wanted to help her refine!
Xu Yan said, "It's no use like this! Second Firmament Celestial Deity is equally too weak to stand up to the competition in front of him as well."
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I naturally know this. So starting from today, I'll help you all refine medicinal pills on one hand. On the other hand, you all have to accept my special training. And the goal is to admit defeat before I kill you all!"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard it, not expecting that Ye Yuan thought of such a method.
Ye Yuan saying so was equivalent to saying that he felt that his strength was very close to that of Yang Shen's.
Or even stronger!
But is this possible?
Similarly a peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity, Yang Shen's strength far surpassed Chen Tianlin's. This indicated that his laws comprehension was definitely exceedingly strong, far surpassing those in the same rank.
"Heh heh, kid, you're playing a joke with their lives!" Little Tong could not help disparaging and being cynical when he heard this.
But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Whether it's a joke or not, you'll know very soon."
...
In a blink, more than a month passed. Eighth round, Ye Yuan finally ran into a High Clarity Sect's disciple again.
This time, it was the rank six Peng Huan.
His strength was not that high. He was only an initial-stage Second Firmament Celestial Deity, being much worse than even Li Yiping. It was naturally even less possible to be Ye Yuan's match.
With the lesson drawn from Li Yiping's failure, Peng Huan naturally chose to directly admit defeat.
Hence, after Du Rufeng announced the start of the match, Peng Huan opened his mouth straight away.
"I …"
It was just a pity that he only spat a word out of his mouth and his eyes began to turn lax, and could no longer speak.
Ye Yuan's sword was too fast!
Below the stage, there was the sound of cold air being s.u.c.k.e.d in.
Too strong!
If one was to say he could succeed the last time against Li Yi Ping because he was not prepared, then this time, it was completely the manifestation of strength!
"You all can't even admit defeat, still call yourselves what number one sect?"
Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shen, his words full of scorn.
Yang Shen glared at Ye Yuan and bellowed, "Ye Yuan, you forced me!"
Ye Yuan ignored him and immediately left.
In the 17th round, Ye Yuan slew High Clarity Sect's rank seven Wu Min with a sword again.
In the 25th round, Ye Yuan similarly instantly killed with a sword against Bian Ziqiu!
Halfway through the competition, the High Clarity Sect already had four disciples who died under Ye Yuan's sword.
Each one of them wanted to concede the moment they came up, but no one could do it.
Ye Yuan's sword was much faster than them speaking.
High Clarity Sect's elder and Yang Shen were practically going insane.
Chapter 1832 - Time Law
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or maybe the Shadowmoon Sect's numbers were too few.
Halfway through the competition, Yang Shen did not meet a single Shadowmoon Sect disciple.
However, there was no hiding in the end.
In the 28th round, Yang Shen matched up with Yi Qingxiang.
Currently, more than half a year's time already passed since the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave started.
Yang Shen came in front of Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "I've waited half a year for today! Today, I'll let you have a taste of your fellow apprentice dying in front of you!"
Finished talking, he turned to Yi Qingxiang again and said, "Last time, I let you escaped a disaster. This time, you won't be so lucky! Want to blame, blame Ye Yuan that he shouldn't have provoked my High Clarity Sec
t!"
But Yi Qingxiang laughed when he heard that and said, "I've long said before, my Shadowmoon Sect's dignity is likewise not to be trampled on! I can die, but the Shadowmoon Sect's face can't be lost! Of course, the prerequisite is that if you can kill me."
Yang Shen's face fell, he discovered that he could not gain any verbal advantage in the slightest.
He actually came because he wanted to see Yi Qingxiang's nervous and frightened appearance. But he completely could not see it from Yi Qingxiang's face.
This kind of feeling made him very frustrated.
In contrast, the High Clarity Sect's disciples were long already killed until they were terrified.
But even if they were terrified, they were still unable to survive from Ye Yuan's hands.
Unable to even admit defeat.
One had to know, the disciples that Ye Yuan killed were all the High Clarity Sect's future sect pillars!
Because of Ye Yuan's slaughtering, this season's Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave's arrangement was already completely messed up.
Apart from him and Ye Yuan, this first camp, the second camp's competition became abnormally fierce.
Of course, Ye Yuan even gave all of the sects a big gift.
These sects that originally had no hopes of obtaining a spot had hope now.
Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shen and said coolly, "You saw it that we don't fear death. So why threaten us with it? Save your unfounded sense of superiority!"
Yang Shen's face fell and he said with a cold snort, "Stop pretending! When you step into the ring, I'll see if you guys can still smile!"
After two battles, it was finally Yang Shen and Yi Qingxiang's showdown.
Presently, as long as it was the Shadowmoon Sect and High Clarity Sect's confrontation, it would draw great attention.
But today, it was Yang Shen's first time facing off with the Shadowmoon Sect's disciple, it was naturally a major topic of discussion.
On the stage, Yi Qingxiang was long already drenched in sweat, cold sweat pouring profusely on his forehead.
This was not that he was scared, but that the pressure Yang Shen brought to him was too great!
This kind of pressure, he had only felt it on one person before, that was Ye Yuan!
