As the main commander invading the Endless World, Shangguan Wenrui was like an ant on a hot pan a few days back, pacing around anxiously.
In Ye Yuan’s great army had two powerhouses with unfathomable strength. Just using one attack, they obliterated all the Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses.
This was the news brought back by the great army which came back in defeat.
In comparison, the news of Ye Yuan killing Xue Hongfei alone did not appear that astounding.
Very clearly, what Shangguan Wenrui dreaded were those two mighty powerhouses!
But what kind of situation was this today?
“Family Head, according to what the troops who came back in defeat said, those two powerhouses’ strength were overwhelming. Annihilating Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses doesn’t need the slightest effort at all. Could it be that . . . Family Head isn’t worried at all?” The subordinate could not help asking curiously.
Shangguan Wenrui stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Powerhouse? What powerhouse? Hahaha . . .”
“. . . . . .”
The subordinate was speechless. He really could not figure out where Family Head’s confidence came from.
“Alright, you set your mind at ease! Wait until Ye Yuan comes, I’ll definitely make him never return!” Shangguan Wenrui said with a loud chortle.
. . . . . .
Several days later, Ye Yuan pressed on all the way like splitting a bamboo, routing the Fierce Gale World great army along the way utterly. Finally, the army approached Wu Fang City.
Currently, this grand and magnificent large city was still the same city, but no longer held by the same people.
Ye Yuan initially thought that along the way, there would be experts from the Three Sects coming over to join him.
However, such a long time passed, but Ye Yuan did not encounter a single person. This made a trace of foreboding premonition arise in his heart.
His commotion along the way was massive. Logically speaking, there had to be some powerhouses who heard the news and came over.
Then there were only two types of possibilities. One was that they went to hide in an extremely remote place and were unable to obtain the Endless World’s news. The other type was . . . These people were already completely wiped out, maybe even . . .
The last type of outcome, Ye Yuan did not even dare to go and think.
If it really happened, then even if he skinned Zhao Tianyin alive, it made no difference too.
The top of Wu Fang City’s walls, an elderly person was facing Ye Yuan across a distance. It was precisely Shangguan Wenrui.
“Ye Yuan, I really didn’t expect that in just a short two to three year’s time, you actually have the qualifications to be on equal footing with me already! Even though I don’t know why His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, wanted to let you go back then, without a doubt, that was the greatest mistake that he made!” Shangguan Wenrui said.
“Oh? Looks like my battle with Zhao Chenggan back then, you were watching the fight by the side too?” Ye Yuan figured out the links in-between very quickly.
Shangguan Wenrui did not have the intention of hiding either. He nodded his head and said, “That’s right! With your talent, if we can’t become friends, you must be erased! I thought that with His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, moving out personally, you were dead for sure. Who knew that later on, news actually spread out that you escaped alive, making me quite astonished!”
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, “Not that Zhao Tianyin didn’t want to, but he couldn’t accomplish it! However . . . wait until I take care of you all. I’ll naturally go and find him to settle this score!”
Shangguan Wenrui laughed and said, “Huhu, at this sort of time, do you still want to assume the majesty of the tiger? Your natural endowments are pretty good, but your cultivation realm is still a little low in the end. Do you think that you can contend with the entire Fierce Gale World by yourself?”
Ye Yuan was stupefied and said rather bewilderedly, “Assuming the majesty of the tiger?”
Shangguan Wenrui only took it as Ye Yuan playing the fool and said with a smile, “Those two mighty experts by your side are already not around. Just the likes of you, a peak Ninth Level Soul Sea, want to overturn the raging tides? Heroes are not that easy to be!”
Ye Yuan’s expression changed when he heard that and said, “So, in between this still had Zhao Tianyin playing tricks! And I was wondering . . . Looks like this feud is growing deeper!”
These few days, Ye Yuan found it odd all along how Zhou Yan found Yue Mengli.
Didn’t think that there was actually still Zhao Tianyin’s work in-between this!
Looks like he was fearful of Yue Mengli, so he thought of a way to inform the Divine Realm first.
Yue Mengli’s Moonlight Heavenly Eye was too conspicuous and very easy to identify.
Even if Zhao Tianyin did not recognize the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, the Divine Realm people behind him definitely knew.
Therefore, there was that spectacle several days back!
This Zhao Tianyin was truly abominable to the extreme!
Shangguan Wenrui smiled and said, “Truly, the young ones are unbridled! Just based on your current strength, could it be that you wish to contend with a Boundless Realm powerhouse?”
Ye Yuan already recovered his cool at this time and said nonchalantly, “That isn’t what you should worry about. You better think about how to cross this hurdle today!”
Shangguan Wenrui burst into laughter and said, “Without those two super powerhouses, I really don’t know where your self-confidence comes from, to dare be so cocky in front of me! You take a look at who they are!”
Shangguan Wenrui showed a hand gesture. A group of people was brought up to the top of the city walls.
When Ye Yuan saw that group of people, his expression involuntarily darkened!
Ren Xingchun, Qin Hongtao, Ning Yixian, Jing Xuan . . . One familiar face after another made Ye Yuan’s face unable to resist convulsing.
When his gaze landed on the last person, he could not help being stunned.
Qi Hai!
Qi Hai was a half-step Boundless Realm powerhouse. He actually fell into the enemy’s hands in Wu Fang City too?
Was the Fierce Gale World’s strength this formidable?
But Ye Yuan knew that Shangguan Wenrui was a genuine half-step Boundless Realm!
Ye Yuan looked at those formerly high and mighty Endless World powerhouses on the top of city walls. They actually all ended up as the Fierce Gale World’s captives!
Each and every one of them had their dantians sealed currently and were trussed up tightly. Don’t talk about how embarrassing that appearance was.
Shangguan Lingyun pointed at those people behind and said coolly, “Shangguan Yunrong and Shangguan Lingyun both died at your hands. Because of you, my Shangguan Family’s strength had heavy losses. The heaven has eyes, to send you in front of me!”
Shangguan Wenrui was clearly that sort of people with extremely scheming minds. Even though he hated Ye Yuan tremendously already, he was calm and collected when speaking. One could not perceive the rage in his heart at all.
Only now did Ye Yuan know that turns out this old man in front of him was the Shangguan Family’s Family Head.
Shangguan Wenrui said with a smile, “Ye Yuan, do you see this Wu Fang City’s grand array? Why don’t we play a game, how about that?”
Ye Yuan did not speak, quietly waiting for what followed, wanting to take a look at what this fellow was trying to accomplish.
Seeing that Ye Yuan did not reply, Shangguan Wenrui continued, “This Wu Fang City’s grand array was left by the Grand Yan True Sect who sealed the realm passageway back then. Its might is incomparably powerful! Starting from now, I’ll kill a person every ten breaths of time, all the way until you breach the grand array. How is it?”
Ye Yuan was stunned. Was this guy a moron . . .
“You don’t need to count. I’m coming righ
t in!” Ye Yuan’s indifferent voice sounded out.
Chapter 692. Pummeling All the Same |
Ye Yuan’s figure suddenly vanished on the spot. When it appeared again, it actually arrived in front of Ren Xingchun they all already!
The city protecting grand array which Shangguan Wenrui pinned high hopes on actually did not have the slightest effect!
The falling petals which covered the skies drifted about. Those Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses guarding the prisoners were directly obliterated by Ye Yuan like this!
Then, Ye Yuan’s mind stirred, putting these people away into the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
All of this was done in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint. Shangguan Wenrui was still in shock and actually did not react in time.
One had to know that in order to crack this Wu Fang City’s grand array, they had prepared for a very long time. Furthermore, they did not leak any information at all beforehand, dispatching ten great half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses for a surprise raid, before breaching the grand array.
After the matter, they mobilized over ten Tier 5 array masters before restoring this grand array.
Even though it did not reach the power when it was at its peak, it at least had 80% power too!
But this grand array actually could not even accomplish stopping Ye Yuan for a moment?
This . . . Surely this is all a dream, right?
“People have to pay the price for their own stupidity! The thing that you rely on is utterly worthless before me!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“This . . . How is this possible?” Shangguan Wenrui was still unbelievably shocked right now.
Ye Yuan said, “You know that this grand array was left behind by the Grand Yan True Sect, but you don’t know that the Grand Yan True Sect’s legacy is in my hands! How can a mere city protecting grand array stop me?”
“What? You . . . You acquired the Grand Yan True Sect’s inheritance!” Shangguan Wenrui exclaimed in shock.
The Shangguan Wenrui at this moment was like a clown.
He wanted to let Ye Yuan see his kin and friends die one by one in front of him, that sort of pain. But then he discovered that he was actually lifting a rock to smash his own feet.
This sect protecting grand array was even worse than paper!
How could Shangguan Wenrui have thought that all of the Grand Yan True Sect’s grand arrays were born from the Array Formations Three Volumes?
Although this city protecting grand array was a Quasi-Tier 6 grand array, it was still only a part of the Array Formations Three Volumes.
How could such a thing stop Ye Yuan’s footsteps?
Shangguan Wenrui had the bearing of a fierce and ambitious person too. After the shock, he calmed down very quickly and said with a cold snort, “Humph! So what even if you acquired the Grand Yan True Sect’s inheritance? Today, this Wu Fang City will be your burial ground! All come out for me!”
Nine figures suddenly flew out from inside the city, bringing an outrageous aura.
These nine figures were actually all half-step Boundless Realm!
Half-step Boundless was absolutely an existence which showed disdain on all life in the Endless World. This point, just think about how powerful Qi Hai was back then and one would know.
But now, ten of such half-step Boundless powerhouses actually came out all at once. Such a line-up was seriously too extravagant.
Only at this time did Ye Yuan know why even Qi Hai could not escape.
Previously, he heard that it was ten great peak Ninth Level Divine Traversing powerhouses who suddenly raided Wu Fang City. Ye Yuan was still rather uncertain.
Looking at it now, it was simply an error in the rumors!
Wu Fang City’s fall was too sudden. The titans in the city were rounded up in one fell sweep. No accurate news was spread out at all.
The intel spread out were all derived through countless times of development.
In the eyes of the Endless World martial artists, ten peak Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses were already absolutely powerful existences under this heaven.
How could they imagine that the Fierce Gale World actually had ten half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses?
Such a line-up, those martial artists passing on the message did not even dare to think about it.
Ten half-step Boundless Realms joining hands to crack the array, how was there the logic of this Wu Fang City’s city protecting grand array not cracking?
Wu Fang City’s history was even longer than the Grand Yan True Sect’s. In the era where the Grand Yan True Sect dominated the Endless World, Wu Fang City spent a huge sum to invite the Grand Yan True Sect to lay down the city protecting grand array anew.
However, even though this city protecting grand array was powerful, it could not possibly stop ten half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses too.
Even in the Grand Yan True Sect’s era, the Endless World could not bring out such a horrifying line-up either.
“Ye Yuan, looks like I still really underestimated you! However, it ends here too!” Shangguan Wenrui said.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “I already said, you have to pay the price for your stupidity! Do you think that I’m able to stand here merely by relying on the strength of those two friends? Today, I’ll let you know how much more you’ve bitten off than you can chew!”
“Hahaha . . . I want to see just how you let me know that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew! Do you think that you can beat our ten half-step Boundless Realms with your strength alone?”
Ten half-step Boundless Realms. Even this was an absolutely powerful force when placed in the Fierce Gale World, let alone to talk about dealing with a peak Ninth Level Soul Sea brat.
Ye Yuan’s heroic words, in his view, was synonymous with not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.
“Heh heh, a couple of half-step Boundless Realms that relied on sanguine power to train. What difference is there from paper tigers?”
Ye Yuan said with a faint smile. His figure vanished on the spot once more, speeding towards one of the half-step Boundless Realm with extreme speed!
While revolving his skill, Ye Yuan suddenly released his aura fully. Origin Spirit Nine Transformations instantly erupted, breaking through to half-step Divine Traversing Realm!
“Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!”
Ye Yuan roared; his fist already arrived!
Ye Yuan’s momentum was immensely great. But half-step Boundless Realms were half-step Boundless Realms. Their reactions naturally could not be compared to ordinary people either.
That half-step Boundless Realm likewise hurled a fist out. The two attacks underwent a frontal collision directly in the air!
Boom!
Ye Yuan’s figure abruptly stopped like a fixed spring, while that half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses was actually smacked down by Ye Yuan from the air directly, smashing heavily onto the ground.
The might of one fist was overwhelming to the max!
Seeing this punch of Ye Yuan, Shangguan Wenrui’s expression could not help changing.
He did not expect that Ye Yuan’s strength was actually daunting to this sort of extent!
Just Ninth Level Soul Sea and he could actually occupy the absolute initiative in a showdown with a half-step Boundless Realm powerhouse already!
Only at this time did Shangguan Wenrui realize that this young man before his eyes truly had the strength to threaten his life!
If he faced off with him directly just now, what the outcome would be like was really hard to tell!
Ye Yuan looked at Shangguan Wenrui and said coolly, “These few fellows all forcefully promoted their strength. Only essence energy reached the realm of half-step Boundless. Concepts comprehension doesn’t reach the standard at all. Doing this not only diminishes longevity, but their cultivation in this lifetime will also end here. If I can’t even beat this sort of trash, how could I dare to enter the grand array alone?”
Shangguan
Wenrui’s expression flickered erratically.
He really did not think that Ye Yuan’s strength was actually even stronger than half-step Boundless!
In his view, Ye Yuan was at most able to deal with Ninth Level Divine Traversing martial artists. Half-step Boundless and Ninth Level Divine Traversing were two entirely different concepts.
Ye Yuan’s glorious military exploits previously were all borrowing Ye Qing and Yue Mengli, the two people’s strength and completely not his own true power.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s strength with his own eyes now, how could he not be alarmed?
“Is that so? Even if they forcefully increased their strength, they are also authentic half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses! Even if one can’t beat you, then how about . . . the ten of us?” Shangguan Wenrui said with a cold smile.
Ye Yuan flashed a bright grin and said, “Beat you all up the same!”
Chapter 693. Blood Prison Cage |
“A creature who doesn’t know life from death! I’ll let you see what’s called a genuine half-step Boundless Realm!”
Shangguan Wenrui gave a cold laugh. His aura was fully released abruptly.
Different from those nine people, Shangguan Wenrui was a genuine half-step Boundless Realm expert whose strength was on par with Qi Hai’s.
Back then when Qi Hai sneaked into the Shangguan Wenrui, he was wary of Shangguan Wenrui’s existence.
Boundless Realm powerhouses controlled a small area of heaven and earth!
Even though a half-step Boundless Realm could not achieve control, in this small area of heaven and earth, they were a demi-god like existence too.
With a wave of a hand, the essence energy quantity that Shangguan Wenrui mustered was entirely not what ordinary Divine Traversing Realm martial artists could compare to!
“The nine of you, attack together with me and crush this brat directly!” Shangguan Wenrui said in a solemn voice.
Right at this present moment, how could he still dare to look down on Ye Yuan?
Ye Yuan already used his own actions to prove his might.
