Chapter 693: Blood Prison Cage

"You reckless fool, let me show you what a true half-step Boundless is!"

Shangguan Wenrui sneered coldly, suddenly unleashing his full aura!

Unlike those nine, Shangguan Wenrui was a genuine half-step Boundless powerhouse, on par with Qihai.

Back when Qihai infiltrated the Southern Domain, it was precisely because he feared Shangguan Wenrui's presence.

A Boundless realm expert controls a small world!

Though a half-step Boundless cannot achieve full control, within that small world, they are akin to a demigod.

With a wave of his hand, the Yuan force Shangguan Wenrui mobilized was far beyond what ordinary Divine Travel realm martial artists could match!

"You nine, join me and crush this kid directly!" Shangguan Wenrui said in a deep voice.

At this moment, he dared not underestimate Ye Yuan any longer.

Ye Yuan had already proven his strength through his actions.

"Yes, Lord Shangguan!"

Though those nine were half-step Boundless experts, they seemed to obey Shangguan Wenrui without question.

At Shangguan Wenrui's command, the nine surrounded Ye Yuan from different directions, blocking all his escape routes.

Of course, Ye Yuan did not move.

With his speed, escaping their encirclement would have been easy.

These nine, though half-step Boundless, were far inferior in speed. Only Shangguan Wenrui could barely match Ye Yuan in speed.

Of course, that was because he was a genuine half-step Boundless, a full major realm above Ye Yuan in cultivation!

"Heh, what difference does it make whether it's one or nine of these trash?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.

With a flicker of his form, he struck with lightning speed!

Ye Yuan's movements were incredibly swift; in the blink of an eye, he had thrown over a dozen punches!

The nine half-step Boundless were actually being suppressed by Ye Yuan alone!

Ye Yuan's Flame-Driven True Dragon Kill was ferocious, each strike heavy and powerful.

If not for their deep Yuan force, those nine half-step Boundless would have been pounded into meat paste by Ye Yuan!

Seeing this, how could Shangguan Wenrui hold back?

"Imperial Extreme Sword Art!"

With one sword stroke, a sharp sword aura shot straight for Ye Yuan's back.

Though Ye Yuan was locked in fierce combat with the nine half-step Boundless, he had been on guard against Shangguan Wenrui.

Seeing his sneak attack, he cursed inwardly at the shamelessness but swiftly drew Xuan Ying Sword and stabbed back!

"Ten Thousand Rain Sword Blades!"

Ye Yuan had not used this move for a long time, but that did not mean it lacked power!

On the contrary, as his strength increased, the power of Ten Thousand Rain Sword Blades grew even greater!

"Boom!"

A fierce collision; the two attacks were evenly matched!

"Hey, is this the pride of a half-step Boundless? Hiding behind and shooting arrows?" Ye Yuan taunted.

Shangguan Wenrui's face had long been as thick as city walls; he merely said indifferently, "The victor is king, the loser a bandit. As long as I kill you, what does it matter what means I use?"

Ye Yuan sneered, "Truly birds of a feather! You people are a perfect match for Zhao Tianyin! I heard your Shangguan family was once the Phoenix Emperor, yet now you play the lackey so contentedly!"

Shangguan Wenrui's expression darkened; Ye Yuan's words had clearly struck a nerve.

The Shangguan family was a discarded clan, unable to resist Zhao Tianyin's dominance.

If the Shangguan family truly harbored rebellious intentions, Zhao Tianyin would surely annihilate them with thunderous means!

Thus, all Shangguan Wenrui could do was focus on nurturing the next generation, hoping they would win the Phoenix Emperor competition and reclaim the throne.

Who would have thought that his painstakingly cultivated Shangguan Lingyun would die at Ye Yuan's hands? How could he not hate him?

"Enough talk! Do you think they are as weak as you imagine? Heh, show your true skills and let this kid see!" Shangguan Wenrui suddenly grinned fiercely.

Upon receiving the order, the nine half-step Boundless experts erupted with blood-aura power.

Each emitted a sinister red glow, which converged in the air into a massive spherical barrier, enveloping Ye Yuan!

A thick bloody force seeped out, directly corroding toward Ye Yuan!

Ye Yuan's expression changed; he felt his Yuan force circulation becoming sluggish!

"Hahaha, enjoy the Blood Prison Cage! Do you feel your Yuan force disobeying you? This Blood Prison Cage not only disrupts the resonance between your body and the surrounding Yuan force but also boosts their strength! Forcing them to use this move, you can be proud!" Shangguan Wenrui laughed loudly.

Ye Yuan's face darkened; he moved to escape the red zone.

But he suddenly found his speed could not pick up!

Three figures, even faster than him, directly blocked his path!

"Bang!"

Ye Yuan clashed with the three, only to be sent reeling with his internal organs churning!

The strength of these nine seemed to have increased significantly!

This Blood Prison Cage was indeed eerie!

Ye Yuan sensed carefully and indeed found his connection with the surrounding heaven and earth Yuan force greatly weakened.

This meant his attack power would be drastically reduced!

As for his movement technique, without Yuan force support, it would naturally weaken as well.

It seemed these nine were not entirely useless; this move was indeed formidable. Trapped within, death was almost certain.

"Ye Yuan, how does it feel to await death?" Shangguan Wenrui said smugly.

Ye Yuan glanced at him indifferently and said, "You invaded the Boundless Border, gathered blood-aura power to enhance your cultivation. Such heinous acts—if heaven does not punish you, I, Ye Yuan, will!"

"Hmph! Stiff-lipped brat! Let's see how you plan to punish us! Kill him!" Shangguan Wenrui ordered.

The nine obeyed and attacked Ye Yuan again.

This time, their combined power surged, forcing Ye Yuan back repeatedly!

If not for his comprehension of the Wind's Flowing Intent, he would already be a corpse.

These nine were like demons from hell, reeking of blood.

Even so, Ye Yuan was in constant danger, nearly struck several times.

"Hahaha, Ye Yuan, how do you like the Blood Prison Cage? No matter how great your skills, if you can't use them, you're still useless! Yun'er was our Shangguan family's hope, and you dared to kill him! Today, I'll send you to accompany him!"

Outside the Blood Prison Cage, Shangguan Wenrui unhesitatingly launched his martial technique again!

"Imperial Extreme Sword Art!"

The same technique, but this time its power was incomparable!

This was the ultimate move of the Imperial Extreme Sword Art, executed by Shangguan Wenrui with suffocating power!
