Unrivaled Medicine God, page 898
“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 sensitive 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 circumstance, 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 sucked 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 Sect!”
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!
Before it started, Yang Shen’s aura had long already risen to the peak, dormant above the nine heavens.
As long as the announcement was given, he would give Yi Qingxiang a lightning blow, and absolutely not give him any chance to admit defeat.
Below the stage, the disciples all had solemn expressions.
“So strong! Turns out that this is Yang Shen’s true strength!”
“In the past, no one could force him to use his true strength at all. Now, it was forced out by Ye Yuan!”
“Separated by the protective grand array, I even feel that I almost can’t breathe! Similarly Second Firmament Celestial Deity, why is the disparity so great?”
…
Different from Ye Yuan’s calm and collectedness, wispy and etherealness, the feeling that Yang Shen gave people was unparalleled domineeringness!
“Begin!”
Du Rufeng’s voice had just landed when Yang Shen’s entire person was like an arrow that left the strong, brandishing his saber and hacking towards Yi Qingxiang.
Under Yang Shen’s peerlessly daunting world power and tyrannical law of saver, Yi Qingxiang was virtually unable to move.
Yi Qingxiang’s brows furrowed, feeling tremendous pressure.
But he did not admit defeat straight away.
Because he knew that Yang Shen definitely had something else up his sleeves!
Although this level was strong, it was not strong enough to the extent of making him unable to concede defeat.
One had to know, similarly Second Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse, wanting to make the other party unable to even say ‘I admit defeat’, three words, that was extremely, extremely difficult.
Suddenly, Yi Qingxiang’s pupils constricted. He felt that everything around slowed down!
Even when he wanted to open his mouth to speak, he became extremely, extremely slow, as if in slow motion.
The entire world, only Yang Shen alone was moving!
“Time law!”
Yi Qingxiang was incomparably shocked in his heart.
“Eh, what’s wrong with Yi Qingxiang? Has he been frightened silly?”
“Yang Shen’s blade is already in front of his face, why is he still not moving?”
Below the stage, the group of disciples was totally uncertain what it meant, completely not understanding what happened.
In their view, Yi Qingxiang already became an idiot who did not know how to move, reaching his head out for Yang Shen to chop.
Bang!
A tremendous rumbling sound came over, Yi Qingxiang’s body flew out backward.
“I … admit … defeat!”
Yi Qingxiang’s body was in midair but spat these three words out of his mouth.
“Damn it! How can you possibly block it?! How could it be blocked?! I’ll kill you!”
Yang Shen bellowed, rushing over toward Yi Qingxiang once more frenziedly.
But right at this time, a surge of powerful world power appeared out of thin air, directly blasting him flying.
“He already opened his mouth to concede defeat, so you mustn’t harm his life! This time, it’s just a warning. The next time you commit it again, kill without mercy!”
Du Rufeng’s voice was very calm like he was stating a very normal thing.
Yang Shen crawled to his feet, his face having an extremely reluctant look.
At this time, Du Rufeng’s voice sounded out once more: “This fight, Yang Shen wins.”
Yang Shen’s expression was grim until it was about to drip water, his face not having any joy after winning.
His objective was to kill and not to win.
The emotions that Yang Shen accumulated for half a year was to erupt in this fight.
But he actually failed!
This outcome, he was completely unable to accept it.
Just now, at the last critical moment, Yi Qingxiang actually released divine essence out of his body, manipulating his sword to block the certain-kill blow.
His time law could slow down the flow of time around Yi Qingxiang, but there was one thing that he could not slow down, that was divine essence!
Of course, this was because Yang Shen’s time law skill was lacking.
Otherwise, Yi Qingxiang would be hard-pressed to escape death too.
Ye Yuan’s figure floated up, arrived beside Yi Qingxiang, and fed him a medicinal pill.
The current Yi Qingxiang did not have an intact spot on his body from head to toe, his appearance even more miserable than the last time.
But he did not die!
With the medicinal pill entering the abdomen, Yi Qingxiang’s injuries improved slightly very soon.
“I really didn’t expect that this guy’s trump card was actually time law!”
Mentioning this, Ye Yuan also had lingering fear in his heart.
Time law was the same as spatial law, both being supreme laws. They were extremely hard to comprehend.
Apart from Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, it was still Ye Yuan’s first time seeing time law.
Just one look and Ye Yuan discerned it.
This time law was indeed extremely difficult to deal with.
Under time law, everything was beyond one’s control.
Just now, Yi Qingxiang did not have any strength to retaliate at all, and could not even speak!
“H-Huhu, this … half a year of special training was indeed … not in vain!”
Yi Qingxiang did not have any dejection but was rather excited instead.
For him to be able to avoid this calamity, it was entirely because of Ye Yuan’s half a year of training.
It was also precisely because of this training that the three of their strength all made substantial improvement.
This half a year, they cultivated under the horror of death every day.
It was also precisely because of this training that they knew just how strong Ye Yuan was!
Chapter 1833. Disjointed Generation |
In this half a year, Ye Yuan only unleashed one sword against them every day.
This sword was peerlessly powerful, sufficient to take their lives.
At first, including Baili Qingyan, they could not even move a muscle.
If Ye Yuan had the intent to kill, they would have long died until they could not be any more dead.
One could say that this half a year’s time, they would tour the gates of hell once every day.
When it just started, Yi Qingxiang and Jiang Xueyan’s spirits were virtually about to collapse.
Under such a swift and fierce sword, they did not have the strength to resist at all.
That kind of powerlessness put them at a loss on what to do.
Ever since entering the sect, they had always been proud children of heaven, regarding themselves being head and shoulders above over others in all respects. When had they thought that they would be so powerless when facing a peer?
But as time passed, they were already numbed.
They already got accustomed to Ye Yuan’s might and began to try finding ways to crack it.
Ye Yuan’s objective was very simple, as long as they could have a chance to concede, it would do.
Today, Yi Qingxiang did it!
In reality, this half a year’s time, their strengths also soared by leaps and bounds. It was just that they did not detect it.
Yang Shen stood on the stage, furiously until his entire body was shaking.
