Unrivaled Medicine God, page 169
This kind of brandishing method could muster heaven and earth essence energy the fastest and augment the might of his fist art to the maximum degree!
In mid-air, Lan Feng's fist collided with that cluster of flower petals!
There was no intense impact sound.
That cluster of flower petals slowly melted, finally vanishing. But Lan Feng's fist force was already totally crumbled by Ye Yuan!
Lan Feng was so greatly frightened that he turned pale. "How is that possible? You're only at the Crystal Formation Realm! How can you be so proficient in the usage of heaven and earth essence energy?!"
The reason why Lan Feng was astonished was because that clump of flower petals was not Ye Yuan's full strength, but it was only a small tuft of the flower petals that Ye Yuan condensed!
And this small cluster of flower petals was just enough to neutralize the fist force that Lan Feng invoked!
Just how accurately did he grasp it?!
It was as if Ye Yuan saw through it with one glance how much heaven and earth essence energy this fist of Lan Feng had amassed!
Something that even he, this Sea Transformation Realm, could not do, but a First Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist could accomplish. How could Lan Feng not be astounded?
For close-combat type martial artists like Lan Feng, the most important thing was momentum.
And presently, he was completely unable to gather his own momentum. Ye Yuan would not give him the opportunity to accumulate any momentum!
Ye Yuan did not pay attention to Lan Feng's astonishment. All of his energy were placed on manipulating the Thousand Flowing Petals.
Although he had already broken through to the Crystal Formation Realm, maneuvering heaven and earth essence energy was something that only martial artists at the Sea Transformation Realm and above could accomplish.
Accurately speaking, only Soul Sea Realm martial artists could control heaven and earth essence energy as they wished!
Sea Transformation Realms merely understood some superficial knowledge.
Hence, manipulating Thousand Flowing Petals was still something tremendously difficult for Ye Yuan.
It was just that compared to while being at the Spirit Condensation Realm, it was way easier now.
Presently, a circumference of a hundred feet was already flooded with countless flower petals. Ye Yuan naturally would not give Lan Feng any chance at all!
He moved another small cluster of flower petals which churned towards Lan Feng. Lan Feng's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Humph! So what if you can mobilize heaven and earth essence energy? How can I lose to a puny little Crystal Formation Realm martial artist? Torrential Pear Blossom Fist! Break for me!"
All of a sudden, Lan Feng's aura skyrocketed. A colossal aura swept away those flower petals.
This was the true strength of a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!
Only to see Lan Feng's fist shadows cascade forth, negating Ye Yuan's attack one after another.
It was seemingly as if no matter how many flower petal attacks Ye Yuan mustered, they were unable to breach Lan Feng's defense!
Yes. After Lan Feng's aura skyrocketed, he did not attack but defended passively!
Because his surroundings were already jam-packed with flower petals. Even if he unleashed the full strength of Sea Transformation Realm, he would have no way of getting through these flower petals either!
As a close-combat martial artist, he already lost the only chance to approach Ye Yuan!
With his speed, if he struck first to gain the initiative, Ye Yuan's Thousand Flowing Petals would not have succeeded in launching so smoothly.
But sadly, Lan Feng was cautious in taking action and did not attack first. By the time he felt that something was not right, there was already no chance left!
Now, he could only take a beating passively!
Ye Yuan's Thousand Flowing Petals was not some ordinary martial technique, but it was a supreme true intent's sword move!
When Ye Yuan was at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he could already use this move to injure the Sea Transformation Realm Yao Qian. One could imagine just how powerful the attack of this sword move was!
Now that Ye Yuan already advanced an entire major realm, the might when displayed again could no longer be mentioned in the same breath.
Even the formidable Lan Feng could only avoid contact when facing the Thousand Flowing Petals!
Those withering flower petals looked like they were harmless to humans and animals, but in truth, killing intent was concealed!
What Lan Feng could rely on presently was his thick essence energy!
As long as he could persist until Ye Yuan's essence energy ran out, he would have the chance to kill Ye Yuan.
Lan Feng's Torrential Pear Blossom Fist danced flawlessly. However . . . there was not a wall without a crack in this world and also no absolute defense.
No matter how fast his fists were, it was also not possible to defend everywhere!
One had to know that the Thousand Flowing Petals was not a straightforward attack, but flower petals that could flutter.
All-pervasive!
344 Infiltrating |
Regardless of how compact Lan Feng's fist art was, how could it possibly block the limitless flying flowers?
While Lan Feng did not detect it, a bunch of petals already flew into his defensive circle by following a path along his lower body.
"Thousand Flowing Petals, explode!"
Ye Yuan gave a low cry. Only to hear puffing sounds occurring everywhere. Countless tiny explosion sounds took place inside Lan Feng's defensive radius.
Each flower petal's explosion was certainly not very strong. But the explosions from thousands and tens of thousands of flower petals, that was not something fun.
Lan Feng's body was blasted away until it quivered non-stop like he was dancing drunkenly.
The protective essence energy of a Sea Transformation Realm was exceedingly powerful, especially for a close-combat martial artist like Lan Feng.
But no matter how powerful it was, it could not contend with this petal rain that filled the entire sky.
Ye Yuan manipulated more and more flower petals to fly toward Lan Feng. By the end of it, he was already submerged by the petals.
Countless flower petals exploded. Lan Feng's body trembled even more violently.
Finally, that powerful protective essence energy was breached by these innumerable miniature explosions! Lan Feng's main body started to receive the explosions!
"Puwarkk!"
Lan Feng violently vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and kneeled feebly onto the ground!
But right at this moment, Ye Yuan moved!
Ye Yuan did not wait for Lan Feng to hit to the ground. With a flash, he arrived before him.
"God Stunning Spike!"
Ye Yuan's divine soul force erupted abruptly, attacking Lan Feng's sea of consciousness!
Lan Feng evidently did not imagine that Ye Yuan would suddenly perform a sneak attack, using divine soul mystic arts to attack him.
While completely caught off-guard and still at a loss as to what was happening, Lan Feng only felt his mind go blank, and the whites of his eyes could be seen. Then, he was out cold!
But Ye Yuan's means had not ended yet!
He formed seals with both hands swiftly. His soul force was released once more, plunging into Lan Feng's sea of consciousness!
"Slave seal, form!"
Currently, Lan Feng's divine soul was viciously attacked by Ye Yuan's God Stunning Spike and already sustained substantial injuries. It was also in a completely unprepared state.
Making use of this time lag, Ye Yuan forcefully planted a slave seal in Lan Feng's divine soul!
Different from Yuan Fei's soul contract, after having the slave seal planted, Lan Feng would lose his own consciousness. All actions must be taken from Ye Yuan.
Moreover, due to Ye Yuan forcefully planting the slave seal, it would also cause irreversible damage to Lan Feng's divine soul. Lan Feng's cultivation in this life would also halt here.
Seeing the slave seal form successfully, Ye Yuan also felt like collapsing.
The series of attacks earlier were all completed in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint. Regardless whether to his essence energy or divine soul, it was all an enormous burden.
A Crystal Formation Realm martial artist planted a slave seal on a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist. This was something that others did not even dare to imagine. But Ye Yuan did it!
Sea Transformation Realm was not a major realm. Although the divine soul strength of Sea Transformation Realm martial artist was enhanced to a certain degree compared to Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, it was not that kind of major realm leap.
Especially for a pure martial artist like Lan Feng. In terms of divine soul realm grinding, it barely reached the standards of middle to late-stage Alchemy Grandmaster.
After Ye Yuan broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, his divine soul realm had already leaped directly to the perfection of early-stage Alchemy Grandmaster; roughly around Lan Feng's divine soul realm.
It was precisely so that Ye Yuan dared to perform such a risky move; planting a slave seal in Lan Feng!
Although Ye Yuan succeeded, the entire process was something incredibly perilous.
Ye Yuan's divine soul realm was not as high as Lan Feng's when all was said and done. If Lan Feng had any bit of precaution, not only would he fail to succeed, it would cause his divine soul to suffer a backlash instead.
Therefore, before Ye Yuan made his move, he already took into consideration each and every step.
Not that Ye Yuan liked the thrill, but because Ye Yuan wanted to understand Mei Zhen and the rest's whereabouts through Lan Feng.
Ye Yuan knew that no matter how he asked, Lan Feng would not tell him as well.
Even if he told him, Ye Yuan would not dare believe it either.
So the best way was to control Lan Feng!
Furthermore, Ye Yuan still had even longer-term considerations. If Mei Zhen and the rest died, everything was obviously too late. But if they did not die, he still had areas to use Lan Feng in.
Ye Yuan did not waste too much time. Lan Feng already informed experts to come through secret methods previously. The more he delayed, the more dangerous it got.
"Open up your divine soul! I want to search your memories!" Ye Yuan instructed.
Lan Feng's eyes recovered some light, but he disregarded the injuries on his body and struggled to his feet to give a bow towards Ye Yuan. "Yes, Master!"
Ye Yuan's divine sense entered Lan Feng's sea of consciousness and read his memories.
Seeing that Mei Zhen and the rest were fine, he could not help heaving a long sigh in relief.
Speaking of which, he had to thank Lin Chao. If not for him interjecting, Mei Zhen and the rest would probably already be dead now.
Ye Yuan fished out an Azure Profound Heart Nourishing Pill and threw it to Lin Chao. "Quickly eat it. But there isn't time for you to refine the medicinal strength already. We leave now!"
"Many thanks for master bestowing the pill!" Lan Feng said deferentially.
. . . . . .
Eternal Splendor Palace's underground, the location of the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array, also the place where the passageway between the Endless World and Fierce Gale World lied.
Lan Feng who was covered in injuries walked in, detaining Ye Yuan whose essence energy was sealed.
The Fierce Gale World already deployed a large number of troops underground. But they were all Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.
It was just two to three days since the passageway was opened up. Large numbers of experts were still currently en route rushing over.
"Lord Lan Feng!" When the guard saw Lan Feng, he bowed and said respectfully.
Lan Feng nodded and said, "The person that Big Brother Lan Bao made me capture is already caught. This prisoner is highly important. I have to escort him personally back to the tribe!"
"Yes! This way please, Lord Lan Feng!" The guard did not dare to obstruct and directly let him through.
Lan Feng's status was the highest in this place. They naturally did not dare to say anything else.
Furthermore, the matter of Lan Feng staying behind to capture someone was known by all these guards.
Lan Bao and the rest already returned to the Fierce Gale World to arrange for the matters concerning the invasion of the Endless World. After all, compared to Ye Yuan alone, the war of two worlds was the major event!
But Lan Bao should have already received Lan Feng's summons at this time and was currently hastening over.
Ye Yuan glared at Lan Feng fiercely but refused to enter the passageway.
"What are you looking at?! Move quickly!" Lan Feng shoved.
"Just kill me if you have the capabilities!" Ye Yuan said wrathfully.
"Hehe, you still have great use. How can I let you die so easily? Moreover, in order to catch you, I suffered heavy injuries. We have to settle this score properly later!" Lan Feng said with a cold sneer.
The pair carried out a conversation, putting up enough of a show.
Finally, being shoved by Lan Feng, Ye Yuan entered the passageway. Lan Feng also followed in after.
"No way, right? That young man was only at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm. He actually beat Lord Lan Feng to that extent?! This combat strength is also too terrifying, yeah?" after the two people left, a guard exclaimed in surprise.
"What do you know?! I heard previously that the Endless World martial artist that failed to be captured was only at the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. It's definitely this punk! Just a few days of not seeing him, he actually broke through directly to the Crystal Formation Realm! If not because this punk is abnormal, why would Lord Lan Feng have to capture him alive?" the other person said.
"Really too scary! Our Fierce Gale World martial artists have always been renowned for the might of our combat strength. But compared to this young man, the disparity isn't an ordinary kind of big!" The guard then sighed with admiration.
345 Back Thrust! |
Once he entered the Fierce Gale World, Ye Yuan felt the storm winds howl towards him like blades, slicing until his face hurt.
Lan Feng noticed Ye Yuan's discomfort and enquired, "Is Master not used to this gale?"
Ye Yuan waved his hand and released his aura slightly. Those storm winds actually swept past his side automatically like he was filtered out.
The might of this gale was roughly the same as the Nine Heavens Road. With Ye Yuan's understanding of the concept of wind, these storm winds naturally could not hurt him.
Lan Feng's expression flickered. "To think that Master's attainments in the concept of wind are so high. Our Fierce Gale World's natives come into contact with this gale ever since birth. But scarcely anyone can reach Master's boundary!"
"This hurricane is not strong. I can still handle it. If my conjectures are right, the Fierce Gale World's tempests should exceed this, right?" Ye Yuan waved his hand and said.
Lan Feng nodded and said, "That's right. The Fierce Gale World's storms are the weakest in the Central Capital. The intensity of the gales radiates outwards with the Central Capital as the center. Places that are closer to the Central Capital have weaker storms, while places further from the Central Capital have more powerful hurricanes."
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "So, that's the case. Then how strong is the place with the strongest gales?"
Lan Feng said, "The Fierce Gale World is divided into nine regions according to the strength of the storms. Level One is the weakest, and Level Nine the strongest. The gales in the Level Nine region is exceptionally terrifying. Even Lord Wind Emperor also don't dare to set foot in that region."
When he mentioned this Level Nine region, Lan Feng's face carried thick apprehension. Evidently, it was an extremely terrifying place.
Ye Yuan could not help asking interestedly, "With your strength, what is the deepest region you can reach?"
Lan Feng said, "This old slave's strength is meager. I can only move about at most in the Level Five region. Any deeper in and I'll be powerless."
"Oh? With your Sea Transformation Realm strength, you can actually only reach the Level Five region. Looks like the Fierce Gale World's storms are indeed very powerful! Then what level is this region we're currently at now?"
"The vast majority of the people all live in the Level Three region. Any further out and ordinary people will not be able to penetrate within. Only martial artists with formidable strength can do it. Hence, the struggle for land inside the Level Three region is very intense. Tribes will frequently slaughter each other because of land. The place we're at right now is the location between the borders of the Level Three and Level Four regions."
Ye Yuan asked puzzledly, "Just the members of your tribe that I've seen were four Sea Transformation Realm experts already. You're actually only able to stay in such a remote area?"
"Replying master, our Lan Family is not an ordinary tribe but a branch of the Tempest Guards under the Wind Emperor's command. Four thousand years ago, the old Wind Emperor brought the Tempest Guards and planned on personally storming the Endless World. But the Grand Yan True Sect sealed the passageway between the two worlds using the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array. Hence, the old Wind Emperor left us Lan Family Clan behind here to guard the land of the seal."
Ye Yuan came to a realization. "No wonder you guys arrived so quickly. It was actually this reason! Alright, this matter brooks no delay. Let's hurry to your tribe. If we waited until Lan Bao discovers a problem, it would make it a lot more troublesome for nothing."
"Yes, Master."
. . . . . .
Around an hour later, Lan Bao brought Lan Hu back to the passageway area.
The two of them strolled leisurely around the second level but did not see a shadow. An ominous premonition involuntarily welled up in their hearts.
