Unrivaled Medicine God, page 407
This way, the value of this yin grotto would be much greater.
The Corpse Venerable cultivating in here would absolutely yield twice the results with half the effort!
Just this one year plus was also sufficient to let his cultivation shake off those of the same species by a great margin.
At this time, Cai Yue’s breakthrough had also already drawn to an end.
Originally, Cai Yue was peak Third Level Phaseless. Borrowing this yin qi force, she actually surged right through the Fourth Level Phaseless bottleneck, breaking through to the middle-stage Phaseless Realm!
This was absolutely an enormous leap to Cai Yue.
This hurdle, if Cai Yue cultivated normally, without ten years or eight years, it was very hard to break through.
But now, in just a short period, she crossed a small stage.
For the first time in her life, Cai Yue felt that her Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique was so wonderful.
She came in front of Ye Yuan and bowed formally as she said, “Young Lord Ye, this lowly one’s life will be yours in the future! Toiling like a slave is all up to a word of your instructions.”
Ever since triggering the Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique, the fear of death was like a bone-festering maggot, plaguing her every day.
Now, she finally utterly eliminated this sort of torture.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Elder Sister is so beautiful, if you toil like a slave for me, how many men under the heaven will hunt me down!”
Cai Yue was just like a young maiden at this time. Hearing these words, she actually blushed red and said, “Young Lord, don’t make fun of this lowly one!”
“Not making fun for you. You didn’t see when I carried you in, what kind of expressions the rest looked at me with,” Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Cai Yue said with a face full of grievances, “So what? Young Lord won’t even look this lowly one in the eye! This lowly one knows that she is already unchaste and isn’t good enough for Young Lord. But if Young Lord needs someone to wait upon you, you just have to say a word will do!”
The current Cai Yue could be said to be filled with amorous feelings. Her mindset was already completely different from when she just knew Ye Yuan. These words were not teasing words, but words from the bottom of her heart.
It was just that the current Ye Yuan did not have much of a leisurely and carefree mood.
“Elder Sister don’t need to treat me like a stranger. It’s late, we’d best hurry back,” Ye Yuan said.
This boneyard was full of dangers. Leaving for a long time, Ye Yuan was worried about the rest too.
That Corpse Venerable sent Ye Yuan away with his eyes but did not say much, directly entering inside the array formation and started to cultivate.
Returning to the place everyone was resting, Ye Yuan sensed that the atmosphere was not quite right. Looking over, there were actually quite a few people missing.
When Wu Siyuan saw Ye Yuan, he hurriedly went up to greet, and said with a displeased look, “Young Lord, that Wei Cheng simply doesn’t know what’s good for him. He got impatient from waiting and actually brought people from Skymist and another Holy Land away, and they headed towards the depths! He even said that Young Lord was deliberately mystifying things, delaying everybody’s journey because of a woman!”
Wu Siyuan had a face full of indignation. Clearly, he had a stomach full of pent up anger from arguing with Wei Cheng just now.
Ye Yuan’s expression fell slightly, and he asked, “Where have they headed?”
Wu Siyuan pointed in a direction and said, “Over there have two fork roads. Wei Cheng brought people and entered the corridor on the left!”
Ye Yuan followed Wu Siyuan’s direction and looked over, and he could not help being speechless for a while.
Ever since he entered the boneyard, he had always been advancing following the direction of the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array.
But the direction Wei Cheng walked in just happened to be opposite from the grand array. What they would run into, Ye Yuan did not dare to guarantee either.
After all, this boneyard was very bizarre. Any danger appearing was very normal.
Really not afraid of god-like opponents, only scared of pig-like teammates!
Right then, Sheng Jun suddenly came forward and said to Ye Yuan, “Brother Ye, Wei Cheng brought away quite a number of people. I also urged bitterly for a long time, but he wouldn’t listen. In this kind of place, it’s best for our strength to not scatter. In my opinion, let’s go after them?”
Ye Yuan mused for a moment and felt that what Sheng Jun said was reasonable too. He nodded his head and said, “Fine then. Everyone hasten your footsteps, we’ll catch up as quickly as possible.”
The group of people followed Wei Cheng’s footprints, gradually entering deep inside.
“Young Lord, along the way, the zombies seem to be getting lesser and lesser!”
Along the way, the surrounding zombies got lesser and lesser. By now, there were barely any zombies in the corridor.
Ye Yuan discovered this sort of strange situation too and said solemnly, “Looks like there should be some powerful existence ahead. Even these zombies are also quite wary. Otherwise, it’s not possible for these zombies’ numbers to get smaller and smaller.”
Sheng Jun’s expression changed, and he said, “Doesn’t that mean that Wei Cheng they all might run into danger at anytime?”
Ye Yuan nodded his head but did not say much. Now that it came to this, any more complaints were also of no help to the situation.
He instructed everyone to quicken their pace and continued to chase over towards the depths.
Barely traveling for a period of time, everyone discovered that the surrounding was already completely void of the figures of zombies.
The entire corridor was empty and desolate inside, dead silent, making people feel rather uneasy instead.
Right as they were walking, someone suddenly cried out, “Quickly look, there seem to be people there!”
In front, there was indeed a person collapsed on the ground.
Everyone walked closer to take a look. That person was wearing precisely the attire of the Skymist Holy Land on his. It was a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist.
Ye Yuan still had some impression of this person. But he was already a dead man at this time.
Ye Yuan went forward to investigate a little. This person was already deader than dead. There were injuries all over his body, his death state very wretched, virtually dismembered by someone with a flurry of blades. There was no longer an intact spot on his body.
Sheng Jun’s expression changed when he saw the situation and said, “Could it be that there are still others underground here? Looking at the wounds on his body, it should have been caused by blades and swords! Those zombies shouldn’t know how to use blades and swords, right?”
Chapter 835. Furious Scolding |
On the way, they discovered quite a number of dead bodies. They were all dismembered by attacks from blades and then died. It was definitely done by people, not zombies.
Without a doubt, Wei Cheng’s group of people ran into danger.
“Everybody, be on guard!” Ye Yuan instructed.
Wei Cheng brought away three Holy Lands’ martial artists. Their strength was not weak. But there were still so many people killed. Clearly, the danger they ran into was also not ordinary.
Everyone did not dare to disregard it when they heard that, becoming attentively and kept a sharp lookout.
“Brother Ye, there seem to be people fighting in the place ahead. Could it be Wei Cheng they all?” Sheng Jun suddenly said.
Ye Yuan heard the fighting sounds ahead too. Nodding his head, he said, “Very likely. Let’s hurry over!”
The group of people hastened their footsteps and walked over following the fighting sounds.
Not traveling very far, they indeed saw the profiles of Wei Cheng they all. They were currently immersed in an arduous battle.
And what they were fighting was actually a large group of skeleton soldiers! The skeleton soldiers were all holding production style long sabers in their hands and were actually like an army.
These skeleton soldiers’ strength was very formidable. There was no shortage of some with Tier 8 strength among them. Furthermore, their numbers were massive, and they already surrounded Wei Cheng they all at this time.
These three Holy Lands’ losses were tragic. If Ye Yuan they all still had not reached in time, they would probably be completely wiped out.
“Go!” Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, issuing the order immediately.
Dozens of martial artists rushed forward and got tangled up in a battle with those skeleton soldiers.
Wei Cheng was covered in blood all over at this time. He still sustained quite a few blades on his body.
Even though he was holding a low-grade holy artifact in his hand, these skeletons’ defense was seriously too formidable. Although he killed quite a few skeletons, there were still even more skeletons surrounding over.
He already killed until his hands were weak!
“Could it be … I’m going to die here? If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have acted on my own. If I were to follow Ye Yuan, this sort of situation probably wouldn’t happen, right?” Wei Cheng already lost all hope in his heart.
He was unbelievably remorseful in his heart right now. Although unwilling to admit it, Ye Yuan’s ability in all aspects was more than a great deal stronger than him.
The leader of this group of people was undoubtedly Ye Yuan being the most suited.
But when he saw Ye Yuan being in the limelight everywhere, he could not feel good in his heart no matter what. Hence, he incited the other two Holy Lands to leave the main force together.
He didn’t think that the more they walked, the lesser the zombies got. In the end, many of this kind of skeleton soldiers actually dashed out all at once, surrounding them in all directions. They could not escape even if they wanted to flee.
Although very unwilling to submit to Ye Yuan, in the final moment of his life, he actually deemed that Ye Yuan would be able to deal with this sort of situation!
Bang!
A skeleton soldier in front of Wei Cheng was actually directly smashed into dust!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Very soon, the skeleton soldiers around him all fell down one by one.
Wei Cheng’s originally dead and ash-gray eyes radiated splendor anew.
A figure akin to a descended god let him saw hope anew. But when he saw that figure clearly, he could not help revealing a shocked expression.
“Y-Ye Yuan! He … He actually came to rescue me!”
At this moment, Wei Cheng felt incredible irony. He made things difficult for Ye Yuan in all aspects and even went off with other three Holy Lands’ martial artists. But at the final juncture, the one who rescued him was Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan did not take notice of him and rushed to other areas immediately.
With this exchange of blows, Ye Yuan’s expression changed slightly too.
These skeletons completely did not defend at all. They only went on the offensive blindly!
The strength of their skeleton frames was actually even tougher than high-grade profound artifacts! Those Tier 8 skeletons, their bodies were even comparable to low-grade holy artifacts! It was difficult for ordinary blades and swords to cause damage to them at all.
Low-grade holy artifacts were very scarce to Rank Nine Holy Lands. Among these martial artists present, only the seven Holy Lands’ Young Lords and a small number of Phaseless Realm elders had low-grade holy artifacts. They could not cause any tangible harm to the skeletons at all.
The strength of Wei Cheng’s group of people was not weak. It was no wonder that they would fall into a bitter battle.
“Blackwind, come out!” Ye Yuan roared. Blackwind came out a roar.
“Roar!”
Blackwind gave a roar and directly trampled a skeleton with a foot.
Blackwind already reached the brink of transforming into a dragon. The power of his fleshy body was already not much different compared to a true dragon. It was actually even more powerful than these skeletons!
“Blackwind, you go and deal with those Tier 8 skeletons!” Ye Yuan ordered.
“Yes!”
Blackwind received the order and charged towards the skeleton group like a war chariot, falling into battle with those Tier 8 skeletons.
Blackwind was well-worthy of possessing true dragon bloodline. His combat strength was formidable until it made people’s hair stand on end. His enormous claws were even comparable to holy artifacts. Under a single claw strike, even those Tier 8 skeletons were smashed.
Among all of the martial artists, the only one who could keep up with Blackwind’s speed of killing the enemy was Ye Yuan.
Those Tier 7 skeletons completely could not take a single blow under Ye Yuan’s fist.
Ye Yuan once broke Nalan Hong’s sword with one punch. It could be seen how powerful his fleshy body was.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan integrated the primeval dragon bone into his arm and underwent refinement daily. His fist was the most powerful place in his entire body, just like a glass cutter’s diamond.
Even if the bones of these skeletons were any stronger, it was also not possible to be stronger than the primeval dragon bone.
With the addition of these two people, a change happened to the battle situation very quickly. The skeleton soldiers around the three Holy Lands’ martial artists were swept away clean very quickly.
Being snatched from the jaws of death, the three Holy Lands’ martial artists erupted with a huge cheer.
But at present, the three Holy Lands’ martial artists’ casualties were already more than half. It could be said to be heavy losses.
Bang!
Just as everyone was cheering, a figure flew out all of a sudden, smashing heavily onto the walls of the cavern.
Sheng Jun pointed at Wei Cheng and roared in an uncontrollable rage, “So many martial artists died because you were jealous of those more able than you! Are you happy now?”
The surroundings quieted down all at once. The cheers died down too, only hearing Sheng Jun’s furious scolding.
“You, this fool, think yourself to be infallible! As the Young Lord, you put your own subordinates in a dangerous situation. What is your intention?! You take a look at them yourself, because of that laughable pride of yours, they almost died because of you! And Kingstone also died because of you! If you can get out, how do you plan on giving an account to the Skymist Holy Land? This boneyard is so dangerous and yet, you treat it like child’s play! Really seeking death!”
Not far away, Kingstone’s corpse was shockingly there. He was actually hacked to death by a flurry of blades by the skeleton soldiers already.
The Skymist Holy Land’s Young Lord actually died pitifully here.
Wei Cheng swept a glance over, only to see each and every one of the three Holy Lands’ martial artists covered in wounds, their faces seemingly haggard.
And all of this was all thanks to him!
Wei Cheng discovered that the three Holy Lands’ martial artists were all looking at him with fierce glares. Especially the Skymist Holy Land’s martial artists who wished that they could immediately come up and kill him.
Even the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land’s martial artists were disappointed to the extreme in Wei Cheng.
After this accident, they finally knew Ye Yuan’s importance.
The situation that they were unable to cope with by going all out, Ye Yuan resolved it the moment he came!
These skeletons were so powerful, but could not even withstand a single blow in front of Ye Yuan.
This was a total disparity in strength!
“I … I’m … sorry …” Wei Cheng choked.
Chapter 836. Terrifying Existence |
“Sorry? Heh heh, can an apology revives your subordinates? Can an apology treat the wounds on their bodies? You’re really an idiot beyond redemption!”
Sheng Jun’s putting up with Wei Cheng already reached the limits. This time, he finally exploded.
And this time, Wei Cheng finally shed remorseful tears.
“Alright, don’t scold him anymore. Better pluck your spirits up; it’s not over yet! We seem to have … provoked an extraordinary fellow this time!” Ye Yuan suddenly said with a grim expression.
Everyone’s faces changed, all not quite certain what it meant.
All of the skeletons were clearly finished off. What danger would there be still?
Everyone looked towards Ye Yuan but discovered that Ye Yuan was currently looking over at the entrance of the passageway.
The moment everyone saw, they could not help being greatly alarmed inwardly.
An additional skeleton was there since goodness knows when!
Just one!
That skeleton did not say a word. It just sat at the cave entrance silently. Under its hand, it was pressing on a long saber.
“Master, you need to be careful. His strength is unfathomable! Blackwind is probably completely not his match either!” Blackwind suddenly spoke.
Blackwind’s words gave everyone a huge shock.
He was a great circle Tier 8 dragon race, but he actually admitted himself that he was not this skeleton’s match!
Then wouldn’t this skeleton’s strength have to reach Tier 9?
Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said to everyone, “Everybody, retreat out of this cavern. Turn around, hurry up!”
Sheng Jun’s expression changed, and he said, “Brother Ye …”
“Relax, I’ll catch up,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Sheng Jun’s gaze showed a complicated expression, and he said, “Take care, Brother Ye. Let’s go!”
Dozens of martial artists withdrew out of this cavern very quickly under Sheng Jun’s lead. In the empty cave, there was only Ye Yuan, Blackwind, and that skeleton opposite left.
“On you, there is the aura of the Vast Heaven Stele!”
That skeleton’s mouth rattled and actually opened its mouth to talk! The moment it started talking, it startled Ye Yuan.
