Chapter 595: Meeting Shangguan Lingyun Again

Kill... kill our way in?

Guo Taoqun nearly bit his tongue, and the other three were clearly taken aback, never expecting Ye Yuan to utter such a crazy remark.

Liu Hong swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Ye, the five armies of the Wildwind Realm must have nearly a million martial artists, among them no shortage of Soul Sea late-stage experts! Killing our way in... that's hardly possible, is it?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "What, scared? There's still time. You can go back first; I'll go in alone."

At this, the four proud geniuses were provoked.

Guo Taoqun stammered, "Scared... scared my ass! A man dies with his balls up; I'm with you!"

Yin Yanhua's beautiful eyes flickered as she said, "I'll go too!"

Ye Yuan looked at the other two with a half-smile and said, "And you?"

The two gritted their teeth and said, "We'll go!"

"You four just keep killing your way in, don't worry about anything else. Leave the rest to me. Remember, no matter what, don't leave the formation!" Ye Yuan warned.

The four's expressions turned serious, and they nodded in agreement.

...

Ten thousand li was not far for them. Half a day later, the four appeared before the Wildwind Realm army.

Looking out, there was a sea of black heads, making Liu Hong and the others' hearts pound.

These were all formidable martial artists, not mortal soldiers!

With so many people, even if each spat a mouthful of saliva, it would be enough to drown the four of them!

But Ye Yuan's face showed little emotion. He said calmly, "Just treat it like you're still in the Haotian Tower. Most of these martial artists are at the Crystal Core or Sea of Energy stage; Soul Sea experts are relatively few. With your strength and the Four Symbols Battle Formation, killing your way in shouldn't be hard."

The Four Symbols Battle Formation was a powerful fourth-grade formation, especially suited for combat.

This formation not only reduced the four's elemental energy consumption but also boosted their average combat power!

Liu Hong and the others were top geniuses of the Boundless Realm. After emerging from the Haotian Tower, they had each broken through to Soul Sea second layer.

With their strength, dealing with ordinary mid Soul Sea experts was no problem.

With the Four Symbols Battle Formation, the four of them together could handle ordinary late Soul Sea experts with ease.

Along the way, Ye Yuan had assigned them the task of practicing this Four Symbols Battle Formation.

These four were all quick-witted. Though the journey was short, they had already gained a basic grasp of the formation.

The five's appearance immediately alarmed the Wildwind Realm army. A large group of martial artists surrounded them.

"Boundless Realm martial artists—kill without mercy!"

These Wildwind Realm martial artists were clearly bloodthirsty. As soon as they saw the five, they attacked without a word.

Seeing the Wildwind Realm martial artists' behavior, Liu Hong and the others felt a surge of uncontrollable fury.

The four set up their formation and began a massacre!

Liu Hong and the others were all Soul Sea experts, head and shoulders above these ordinary martial artists. With the Four Symbols Battle Formation, they were like tigers among sheep, cutting down a large swath and eliciting cries of anguish.

But these Wildwind Realm martial artists were all fearless. Seeing this, they not only didn't retreat but grew even more frenzied.

Ye Yuan urged a small cluster of Thousand Stream Flying Flowers, following closely behind the four as if strolling leisurely.

Occasionally, some reckless soul came before him, and the Flying Flowers would directly reap their lives.

Ye Yuan noticed that every Wildwind Realm martial artist carried a heavy aura of bloodlust, appearing almost mad, clearly stained with the blood of many Boundless Realm martial artists.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan realized he had underestimated Zhao Tianyin's influence in the Wildwind Realm.

No wonder the Purple Firmament Sect had lurked in the Boundless Realm for thousands of years, even willing to destroy the Six Extremes Sealing Formation to open the passage between realms.

The power of faith was truly terrifying!

At this rate, these martial artists would eventually lose themselves and become mere killing machines.

"What exactly does this Zhao Tianyin want?" Ye Yuan frowned.

...

The commotion at this corner soon reached the central army tent.

A spirited young man rose into the air and looked toward that corner.

"Lord Shangguan, a few reckless fellows have appeared, daring to charge our army. I'll send men to eliminate them immediately!"

The speaker was Deng Sheng, commander of one of the five armies, at the Soul Sea ninth layer!

The young man before him was only at Soul Sea seventh layer, yet Deng Sheng treated him with great respect.

If Ye Yuan were here, he would recognize this young man as Shangguan Lingyun, whom he had never fought in the Wildwind Realm!

It had been less than a year since Ye Yuan returned from the Wildwind Realm, yet Shangguan Lingyun had broken through an entire major realm and become the supreme commander of the five armies!

Shangguan Lingyun nodded and said, "Go yourself and take a few more men. Among those five, four are at the Soul Sea stage, and they seem to be practicing some formation with considerable power. The other appears to be only at the Sea of Energy stage, but I have a feeling that this Sea of Energy cultivator is the strongest among them!"

Deng Sheng was startled, clearly not expecting Shangguan Lingyun to give such an evaluation.

He had also sensed the Sea of Energy cultivator, but that one's display was far less impressive than the Soul Sea experts.

Shangguan Lingyun's high opinion of that Sea of Energy cultivator made him somewhat dismissive.

No matter how strong a Sea of Energy cultivator was, how far could he go?

However, he dared not disobey Shangguan Lingyun's orders. Though this young man was only at Soul Sea seventh layer, his actual combat strength surpassed even Soul Sea peak experts!

Deng Sheng selected ten mid Soul Sea martial artists and flew directly toward Ye Yuan's group.

Liu Hong and the others charged forward, encountering mostly Sea of Energy and Crystal Core martial artists, who died on contact.

Occasionally, a few early Soul Sea experts surrounded them, but they were basically killed instantly.

Deng Sheng and his group soon arrived. Deng Sheng roared, "Everyone, fall back!"

Unlike the undisciplined Boundless Realm martial artists, these fighters quickly cleared a large open space upon hearing the order.

Deng Sheng and his men landed before Ye Yuan's group, blocking their path.

"A few reckless brats, daring to bully the Wildwind Realm as if we have no one?" Deng Sheng said viciously.

In that short time, the Wildwind Realm had suffered heavy casualties.

Ye Yuan flashed forward, blocking in front of the four, and said calmly, "You go around; I'll handle these scum."

"Yes, Brother Ye!"

Facing Ye Yuan's command, the four did not hesitate and immediately charged to the side.

Deng Sheng, a man of great pride, was enraged that a mere Sea of Energy cultivator dared to belittle him.

"Brat, you're asking for death! You men, go and tear this kid to pieces!"

At Deng Sheng's order, the ten mid Soul Sea experts attacked Ye Yuan in unison!

"Flame Movement True Dragon Kill!"

Ye Yuan casually threw a punch, and Deng Sheng's face changed drastically!
