Unrivaled Medicine God, page 173
"Tumultuous Violent Wave! Break for me!"
Lan Bao smashed a fist out ferociously, clashing together with the fire dragon.
With this collision, Lan Bao's face changed drastically. The fire dragon actually directly coiled around his fist and snaked upwards!
How could he have the time to change his move at this point? Only to hear a bang! The fire dragon collided viciously onto Lan Bao's chest!
"Puhwark!"
The incredible impact force sent Lan Bao flying out and vomiting a large mouthful of blood in mid-air. It was just that Lan Bao had yet to tumble to the ground when he was swept away by a gust of fierce wind.
"ARGH!"
Lan Bao's tragic cries came from the air. Countless gale wind penetrated his protective essence energy, slashing on his body like blades!
After a dozen breaths later, not a sound could be heard from Lan Bao anymore.
He was originally already at his limits and received Ye Yuan's dreadful attack too. He was simply unable to maintain his own protective essence energy anymore.
These storm winds did not have any sympathy and attacked Lan Bao indiscriminately. How could Lan Bao not die?
Watching Lan Bao be swallowed up by the fierce storms, Ye Yuan also sucked in a breath deeply.
The hardships along the way, only he alone knew . . .
Chapter 352. Objective - Central Capital! |
With Lan Bao's death, Ye Yuan's tightly wound nerves relaxed immediated.
But it was only to see his legs turn to jelly. Even standing upright was actually quite strenuous.
The few days of sprinting at his limits already wore Ye Yuan's body and mind out immensely. At this moment, he could not sustain any longer.
Lan Feng's figure suddenly appeared. He was startled when he saw Ye Yuan's condition and hurriedly supported him.
Having the slave seal planted, all of Lan Feng's words and actions centered around Ye Yuan and did not have his own personality.
Seeing Ye Yuan's all scratched up appearance, Lan Feng felt concern from the bottom of his heart.
"Are you alright, Master?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said weakly, "Bring me out."
Lan Feng nodded and piggybacked Ye Yuan towards the Level Four Gale Region.
. . . . . .
Two days later, somewhere in the Level Four Gale Region, an essence energy tempest towered to the skies, isolating the biting cold gale winds.
Around an hour later, the essence energy tempest dissipated, revealing a white-clothed youth with glimmering eyes and an imposing aura!
This white-clothed youth was precisely Ye Yuan!
Although these few days of pursuit was impossibly arduous for him, it was also a valuable gain.
The pursuit-evasion journey these seven days and nights not only let him comprehended the Wind Flow True Intent, it even let his realm reached the Peak First Level Crystal Formation Realm inconspicuously.
Hence, after he recuperated from his injuries, Ye Yuan chose to break through directly!
The Ye Yuan who had just broken through to the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm had his essence, energy, and spirit reached peak condition, sweeping away the dispiritedness previously.
The body that was initially riddled with injuries by the gale winds was also already completely recovered now.
Those scars on his face had already vanished fully right now, he seemed the same as usual.
But having been through such fierce consumption, Ye Yuan's Condensed Fragrance Pills and Haste Pills were pretty much all expended entirely.
A Condensed Fragrance Pill was a Tier 3 essence energy recovery medicinal pill. It was unbelievably marvelous, much stronger than ordinary Tier 3 Qi Returning Pill.
If he did not have Condensed Fragrance Pills earlier to replenish essence energy, Ye Yuan would have been caught up by Lan Bao long ago.
It was also relying precisely on the Condensed Fragrance Pills and Haste Pills, these two types of heaven-defying Tier 3 medicinal pills, that Ye Yuan dared to play such a great chasing game with Lan Bao; he won in the end.
"To think that the Concept of Wind and Concept of Fire would actually have such formidable offensive power when combined! It's just a pity that I only comprehended the Transmission True Intent for the Concept of Fire. If I comprehended the Scorching True Intent, the power should be able to rise another level! Indeed, the effects of merging true intent are even stronger!" Ye Yuan mused to himself.
When facing off with Lan Bao previously, luck favored Ye Yuan as he had an inspiration and thought about incorporating the Concept of Wind into the Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon. He did not think that it would garner an unexpected effect!
The so-called 'fire borrowed the power of wind, and wind aided the might of fire' was this logic.
The Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon's offensive power during an instant was even stronger than the Thousand Flowing Petals!
Thousand Flowing Petals combined both offense and defense, belonging to the pure killing people with blades type. Furthermore, Thousand Flowing Petals could attack in a variety of ways and was exceedingly hard to fend off.
In comparison, Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon was a pure offensive type martial technique!
As long as Ye Yuan's finished casting it, its instantaneous offensive might would be remarkably powerful. This point could be seen from Lan Bao's end.
"Looks like . . . much still remains to be accomplished on the road to comprehending concepts!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.
Wanting to become a Divine Realm's peak existence, comprehending concepts was a path that had to be taken!
Ye Yuan knew for a fact that the Ten Great Divine Kings were all martial artists who comprehended at least three kinds of supreme true intent!
And he only just comprehended one kind of supreme true intent's elementary form up till now. Saying that much remained to be accomplished was expected.
It was just that if Ye Yuan let the Ten Great Divine Kings hear his words, they would probably cough up blood on the spot.
When they were at Ye Yuan's age, forget about supreme true intent, they might not even have touched upon the boundaries of true intent.
And Ye Yuan already comprehended four types of true intents, and fused two of them into the elementary form of a supreme true intent!
Such monstrous talent, even the Ten Great Divine Kings would feel deeply ashamed.
While Ye Yuan had knowledge surpassing this plane and also the experiences of a Divine Realm's Alchemy Emperor, these were insufficient to let him comprehend true intent so quickly!
Ye Yuan relied entirely on his effort and talent to be able to comprehend four kinds of true intents!
. . . . . .
Seeing Ye Yuan finish breaking through, Lan Feng who had been protecting by the side the whole time came forward and said, "Congratulations to Master on the breakthrough!"
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and asked Lan Feng, "How far is this place from the Central Capital?"
Lan Feng said, "Replying master, this place is still the Level Four Gale Region. If without flying spirit artifacts, rushing to the Central Capital will probably need several years!"
"En? Why is it so far? Lan Bao and I ran for six days and nights and finished running through the Level Four Gale Region. Reaching the Central Capital actually requires several years?" Ye Yuan asked puzzledly.
He only used six days to finish running through the Level Four Gale Region. So he felt that the Fierce Gale World's area should not be large.
Looking at it now, it was not what he had actually imagined!
"The Fierce Gale World's broadest expansive regions are the Level One and Level Two Gale Regions, followed by Level Three Gale Region. The vast majority of the Fierce Gale World's inhabitants also stay in these regions. In the Level Four Gale Region, there are virtually no signs of human inhabitation. And the Level Four to Level Nine Gale Regions added together is roughly the size of the first three Gale Regions. Moreover, the Level Four Gale Region is actually just a transition zone. The land area is not vast. Hence, Master only used six days to finish running it," Lan Feng explained.
Ye Yuan only saw the light now. "So, that's how it is! Then, are there any places nearby with transmission arrays leading to the Central Capital?"
Since walking on foot took too long, they obviously could only go through transmission arrays.
Lan Feng said, "Fierce Gale World's formations path is undeveloped. The tribes in the vicinity with transmission arrays leading straight to the Central Capital, as far as I know, there's only the Lan Family Tribe."
Ye Yuan nodded his head and was not surprised by this. Since the Lan Family Tribe was left here by the previous Wind Emperor to guard the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array, having a transmission array leading to the capital was very normal.
"Since direct travel won't work, do a layover then. Can't be that there aren't mid-way transmission arrays, right?"
"Of course there are. Some of the slightly larger tribes nearby have transmission arrays leading to the Level One region."
"Alright then. You bring me to a tribe that's relatively easy to talk to. Hmm . . . should I disguise myself?" Ye Yuan asked.
Ye Yuan's outfit and skin color had a clear difference from Lan Feng's. One look and they could tell that he was not a Fierce Gale World native. Ye Yuan naturally had this query.
But Lan Feng said, "No need. The Level One Gale Region's gale winds won't be so strong like the outer boundaries. Everyone's living conditions are comparatively much better. Many of the noble family's juniors in the Central Capital are the same as master; all very refined people and won't be rugged like us. Master just has to change into Fierce Gale World's attires and other people won't become suspicious."
Ye Yuan caught on and changed into the clothes inside Lan Feng's storage ring. His entire person's demeanor took on a new feel; decreased a few parts of elegant air, increased in some unyielding feel.
The two people got their belongings in order and were just about to set off for the Level Three region when all of a sudden, a battle cry sounded.
Chapter 353. Saving People |
Human figures swarmed together, kicking up clouds of yellow sand.
Five Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were currently in the midst of a fierce battle with a gigantic scorpion.
The five martial artists were all late-stage Crystal Formation Realm; there were three Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm, one Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm, and a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm.
But very clearly, the peak Tier 3 giant scorpion's strength was above these five individuals.
The five people fought while running. Their bodies all had injuries, appearing very pitiful.
"Younger Sister Yan, you quickly bring the Violet Illusion Blood Ginseng back to the tribe! We'll hold back this damn fellow!" said a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm with the greatest strength as he pushed a girl out of the battleground.
The one called Sister Yan was the only female among these five people. This Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm clearly wanted to protect her.
"How can that do! This Crimson Tailed Scorpion is almost about to evolve to become a Tier 4 demonic beast. You guys are completely not its match!" Sister Yan said in near tears.
The Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly leave! If all of us die here, what about Young Patriarch!"
When Sister Yan heard these words, her face showed conflict as she stood on the spot at a loss on what to do.
The young patriarch was the number one genius in the tribe. If he died because of her, then even a hundred deaths could hardly absolve her from the blame!
But to let her abandon her comrades and flee for her life alone, Li Yan could not do it.
That Crimson Tailed Scorpion's strength was very powerful. Her four companions were all dancing with death. Even Li Hong who was the strongest could not fend it off either.
"AHH!"
A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm was struck in the chest by the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's giant pincers, flying out backward.
When Li Yan saw this scene, she clenched her teeth and charged back in!
When Li Hong saw Li Yan join the battlefield again, he could not help flying into a thunderous rage, roaring, "Li Yan! What are you doing?! Do you know that young patriarch's life and death is all in your hands?!"
Li Yan held back her tears as she said with a stubborn face, "I'm not leaving! Big Brother Hong, you cared for me since young and concerned yourself with me. Asking me to leave you guys and escape with my life alone, I can't do it!"
"You! I'm really exasperated to death by you! Be careful!" Li Hong swung his longsword, deflecting away the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's giant pincers, saving Li Yan's life.
Li Hong gave a sigh and said, "Forget it. Come on back then. Meet the attacks carefully! The three of you restrain it. I'll circle around to it's flank and attack it; I'll strive to deal it a lethal strike!"
. . . . . .
The five people's full attention was on fighting the Crimson Tailed Scorpion and was completely oblivious that not far away, there were two people currently observing them.
"Lan Feng, quickly go and finish off that Crimson Tailed Scorpion," Ye Yuan commanded Lan Feng.
"Yes, Master!" Lan Feng acknowledged with a bow and vanished like a gust of wind.
And right at this moment, Li Hong finally reached around to the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's side, looking for a gap to attack the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's soft spots.
But just as Li Hong finished making an attack, the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's tail appeared before Li Hong like ghosts and goblins!
Li Hong's expression changed drastically but wanting to change his move at this time was already too late.
Li Yan and the rest also saw this scene and could not help but shout in despair, "Big Brother Hong!"
The Crimson Tailed Scorpion's tail was its strongest weapon. But up till now, this was the first time it used this lethal weapon.
The result was predictable!
Li Hong was aware that he could not escape this catastrophe and shut his eyes painfully.
At virtually the same time, Li Hong felt an extremely powerful force graze past his ear. He snapped his eyes open, then saw that Crimson Tailed Scorpion being smashed flying into the air!
Whoosh!
A strong breeze swept by. A blurry silhouette passed by his body, dealing yet another punch to the Crimson Tailed Scorpion in the air!
Bang!
The Crimson Tailed Scorpion was sent flying again!
Lan Feng followed up once more and punched again!
This time, the Crimson Tailed Scorpion finally ceased any movement. It did not even let out a squawk before being disposed of by Lan Feng.
When Li Hong saw this scene, he was first flabbergasted, following that was wild elation!
At the life and death juncture, he was actually saved!
"Thank you very much for Senior's life-saving grave! This junior is Li Hong. These are my clansman. The five of us are people from the Cloud Prancing Tribe. I wonder which tribe senior came from. We'll surely pay a visit and thank this favor!" Li Hong brought Li Yan and the rest to bow towards Lan Feng.
Lan Feng had the air of an expert currently as he waved his hand and said, "You all don't need to thank me. The one who saved you isn't me; it's my master."
Li Hong was secretly taken aback. But verbally, he hastily said, "I wonder who is Senior's master . . ."
To be able to use a Sea Transformation Realm expert as a servant, he surely had a powerful background!
Lan Feng said coolly, "Follow me."
Li Hong and the rest naturally did not dare to defy and kept in pace with Lan Feng.
Before long, a 15 to 16-year-old youth appeared in their sights.
This Li Hong was evidently somebody who had experienced the world. Seeing Ye Yuan, he hurriedly bowed, "This lowly one, Li Hong and clansmen, give thanks to Young Master for your life-saving grace."
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said indifferently, "Just some simple help. Which tribe are you all from?"
"Replying Young Master, we're from the Cloud Prancing Tribe," Li Hong said respectfully.
When facing Ye Yuan, Li Hong did not know why, but he actually felt a powerful pressure.
Originally, he revered out of gratitude. But now, it was awe that came from the depths of his heart.
This feeling was very absurd. Why would a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm sense pressure in front of a Second Level Crystal Formation Realm?
This young man was not simple!
"Does your tribe have a transmission array?" Ye Yuan asked directly.
Li Hong was stunned. Clearly, he did not think that Ye Yuan would have such an inquiry. But Ye Yuan was their savior. He naturally would not hide the truth.
"Where does Savior want to go? Our Cloud Prancing Tribe is the largest tribe in the circumference of 10 thousand miles. We naturally have a transmission array," Li Hong said.
"I came out from the Central Capital to temper myself. Now that the trial period is already over, I want to return close to the Central Capital. I wonder if your tribe can allow for this convenience?" Ye Yuan casually made up a reason.
Li Hong hesitated slightly before saying, "Not hiding from Benefactor, only the patriarch can make the decision to allow outsiders to use the transmission array. The few of us dare not speak rashly. But Benefactor saved us, which is the same as saving Young Patriarch. I believe that the patriarch will definitely approve. I wonder if . . . Benefactor can come back to the Cloud Prancing Tribe with us?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Ye Yuan asked out of curiosity.
"Young Patriarch is the strongest person in our Cloud Prancing Tribe's junior generation. Originally, his strength stood head and shoulders above all others with the air of a great general and was the idol and goal for our junior generation. But a month ago, his temperament suddenly changed drastically. He lost all appetite and shut himself in his room all day. Half a month later, he fell ill and was confined to his bed. Now, he's already at death's door. We set out on this trip in order to seek out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng to refine for him the Blood Cleansing Pill. That's how we got into this hunt and almost lost our lives. Benefactor saved the five of our lives which is naturally tantamount to saving Young Patriarch's life!" Li Hong clarified.
