“Huff, huff, huff . . .”
Hu Rong and and the others all suddenly panted heavily for air.
Right then, their scalps all tingled. An extremely dangerous aura came from the air, making each and every one of them hold their breaths.
But this dangerous aura vanished without a trace under Ye Yuan’s dozen over silver needles.
Hu Rong looked towards that back view in the distance, his gaze filled with fear.
This young man was too powerful!
The Azure Spirit Tree which made the entire tiger clan wring their hands in dismay was actually locked down by him just like this!
“Lord Hu Rong, the Azure . . . Azure Spirit Tree got captured?” A clansman asked rather disbelievingly.
Hu Rong nodded his head solemnly and said, “Definitely so! If he weren’t caught, we would already be dead men just now!”
“Don’t need to doubt it! Big Brother said that he could capture him, means he definitely can capture!” White Light had a proud look like this Azure Spirit Tree was caught by him.
Hu Rong and the others came close. Seeing the few silver needles inserted in the tree roots area, they could not help marveling, “Really hard to imagine that such a great towering tree was actually locked down by a few tiny little silver needles!”
Just as they were speaking, this massive tree that towered into the clouds actually shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming a small tree the size of the rim of a bowl very quickly.
“The Azure Spirit Tree cultivating to this sort of level, changing size is naturally as easy as overturning one’s hands. He got hit by my Spirit Sealing Needle. The wood essence power within his body is already hard to be maneuvered,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“If not for seeing with my own eyes, I really wouldn’t dare to believe that a peak Tier 6 Azure Spirit Tree was actually subdued by a Tier 4 youth!” Hu Rong sighed with admiration.
He could be said to have his horizons broadened today. The Azure Spirit Tree which even Clan Head Hu Yan could do nothing about was actually defeated at Ye Yuan’s hands just like that.
Ye Yuan was just about to speak when his expression changed greatly!
A terrifying aura arrived close from far away in a blink, heading towards them.
That speed was inconceivably swift!
Chapter 671. The Oriole Behind |
“White Light, quickly retreat!”
Without time to think much at all, Ye Yuan’s figure retreated explosively.
White Light’s reaction was not slow either, following Ye Yuan and retreating.
Very clearly, that person’s target was the Azure Spirit Tree!
The person’s strength was too strong. Hu Rong and the others did not dare to clash head-on with him either, and they also chose to yield one after another.
In front of the Azure Spirit Tree, a figure gradually emerged. When Hu Rong and the others saw the arrival, their faces all changed greatly.
“Hahaha! It’s been hard on the few of you! This gift isn’t bad! I’ll accept it,” the person said with a big laugh.
“Peng Tian! You’re so despicable!” Hu Rong simmered with anger.
The arrival was none other than precisely the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan’s Clan Head, Peng Tian!
This fellow was actually lurking nearby the entire time. After waiting for Ye Yuan they all to succeed, he then seized the Azure Spirit Tree with a momentum as forceful as a sudden peal of thunder that left no time for covering the ears!
Peng Tian said with a delighted look, “Despicable? Spiritual objects under the heavens, fated ones get it! Very clearly, you guys aren’t that fated one!”
As he said this, his gaze actually looked towards Ye Yuan and said, “Boy, you really didn’t let me down. To actually really restrain the Azure Spirit Tree! But you never would have thought that your actions would become other people’s wedding dress, right? Hahaha!”
Talking about how he was pleased with himself, Peng Tian could not resist chortling with laughter.
Hu Rong and the others, their expressions were indescribably ugly. This Azure Spirit Tree landing in Peng Tian’s hands, Hu Yan would be dead for certain.
This outcome was what they could not bear.
Ye Yuan’s face did not have an overly dejected expression, but he asked calmly, “Clan Head Peng Tian, nice scheming. This Ye admires you. I wonder how you knew that I could restrain the Azure Spirit Tree?”
Peng Tian said delightedly, “I initially wasn’t fully certain either. But the timing that you appeared was too coincidental. Coming to the Darkfiend Tiger Clan at this time, the goal can only be the Azure Spirit Tree. Even though your strength is meager, you’re able to turn something rotten into magical and are bound to have areas surpassing others in. Therefore, I decided to let you give it a try. I didn’t expect that you really succeeded! Even if you didn’t succeed, with the Darkfiend Tiger Clan to be cannon fodders for me isn’t bad as well.Hahaha!”
Peng Tian had evidently known the Darkfiend Tiger Clan’s activities long ago. Yet, the Darkfiend Tiger Clan still pretended to be mysterious. It was simply a joke.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “Looks like you sending Peng Hai to the Darkfiend Tiger Clan and satisfying my every request was in order to lower our guard, right? And these few years, you’ve actually long investigated the tiger clan’s situation clearly in the dark. Halting the troops and not moving all along was because you were not confident in dealing with the Azure Spirit Tree, so you wanted to let the tiger clan charge in front to be cannon fodders?”
Peng Tian said with a loud laugh, “Haha! You, this boy, are too clever! What you said is perfectly accurate! This old man is a figure as famous as Hu Yan in this Dongming Region. How could I not even be a match for Hu Rong, this fool? This fellow fancied himself clever and used all kinds of measures to delude the roc clan, and even thought that his plans were seamless. But he didn’t know that I was just meeting one ruse with another, letting the tiger clan be the scapegoat, that’s all!”
Hearing Peng Tian’s words, Hu Rong’s expression was indescribably ugly.
These ten years, he spared no efforts. Who knew that in the end, he actually became a clown!
Now that it fell just short of complete success, how could he be worthy of Clan Head Hu Yan? Once Peng Tian acquires the Azure Spirit Tree, he was bound to break through to Tier 7.
At that time, who else could be his match in the entire Dongming Region?
When his thought reached here, Hu Rong even had the intention to fight to the death!
If the final outcome was the tiger clan’s destruction, then he, was the entire Darkfiend Tiger Clan’s eternal sinner!
“Clan Head Peng Tian is indeed impressive. Truly took every conceivable possibility into account! However . . . Peng Yun’s small life, could it be that you don’t care?” Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.
Peng Tian said with a cold snort, “As long as I break through to Tier 7, what do Yun-er’s injuries count as? Furthermore, do you think that it’s still up to you at this time? Boy, hand over the medicinal pills!”
Ye Yuan looked at Peng Tian with a smile that wasn’t a smile and said, “If I don’t hand them over?”
“If you don’t hand them over, you’ll be unable to pray for life nor beg for death!” Peng Tian threatened.
“Like that huh. Looks like I must hand over no matter what?”
“Enough nonsense. Quickly hand over!”
Ye Yuan had a look of helplessness and fished out two medicinal pills from his storage ring. It was precisely those remaining two to treat Peng Yun.
Peng Tian seeing Ye Yuan submit, his face involuntarily revealed a smug smile and reached his hand out in preparation to receive the medicinal pills.
Ye Yuan raised his hand but did not throw the medicinal pills out. His right hand suddenly clenched in a fist, holding the two medicinal pills in the center of his palm, and kneaded a few times hard.
Ye Yuan had a smile on his face as he looked at Peng Tian. Slowly opening up his hand, a light breeze blew. Wisps of powder went with the wind.
Ye Yuan destroyed the medicinal pills just like this.
Hu Rong and and the others, their expressions changed when they saw the situation and secretly thought to themselves that Ye Yuan was indeed gutsy, to actually dare provoke Peng Tian at this time.
Peng Tian’s smile froze on his face. The hand that extended out was incomparably awkward, clenching into a fist shape, displaying his fury currently.
“Fine lad. You dare to fool me?” Peng Tian gnashed his teeth as he said it word by word.
Ye Yuan smiled unconcernedly and said, “Little Lord, I, have a problem, that is I can be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. If you talk to me nicely, this Little Lord might just give them you if my mood becomes happy. But your attitude makes me very displeased!”
“Hahaha! It’s really been so long since anybody dared to speak to this clan head like this! Boy, you’re excellent! Since you dare to say so, you probably have some sort of understanding what will happen, right?” Peng Tian laughed out of extreme rage.
Ye Yuan had a blank look as he said, “Understanding? What understanding? This Little Lord’s, my, understanding is very limited and can’t understand your words.”
“Can’t understand, is it? Then this clan head will let you understand what’s called understanding right now!”
Finished talking, Peng Tian’s entire person’s aura directly rose to the peak, crushing over towards Ye Yuan in a manner that blotted out the skies and covered the earth.
The Peng Tian currently was already infuriated to the extreme. The joy of obtaining the Azure Spirit Tree was completely swept away by Ye Yuan’s actions.
His palm smacked towards Ye Yuan. This palm could topple mountains and overturn the seas during the whole process, displaying the strength of a peak Tier 6 demon completely.
This palm movement, Peng Tian did not hold back in the slightest. He wanted to crush Ye Yuan into dregs, only then could it get rid of the hatred in his heart.
Towards Peng Tian’s actions, Ye Yuan seemingly did not see it and did not have the intention of dodging at all.
Just as Peng Tian’s palm was about to slap out, his scalp tingled all of a sudden. All the pores on his body shuddered. A sense of extreme danger welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Right then, an even more violent attack arrived with a howl, aiming right at the center of Peng Tian’s back!
Even though Peng Tian had his back facing this attack, he could feel that this attack could absolutely deal lethal damage to him!
That aura was even above his!
How could Peng Tian still care about dealing with Ye Yuan? He immediately pushed his Kun Peng bloodline to the limits, wanting to receive this attack!
At present, Peng Tian’s greatest reliance was his speed. He wanted to use speed to receive this attack.
That attack’s speed was exceedingly fast. It arrived at Peng Tian’s back in a blink of an eye.
But Peng Tian’s reaction speed could not be said to not be fast. His figure had already fuzzily vanished from where he was.
However, right at this time, a strange force attacked by surprise, and it actually made Peng Tian’s figure stagnate for a tiny bit of time!
Chapter 672. Hypocritical Hu Yan |
Rumble!
This short bit of time was sufficient!
That attack made it just in time currently, slamming right onto Peng Tian’s back.
Peng Tian spat out a large mouthful of blood with a cough, his figure flying forward like a kite with a broken string.
But Ye Yuan did not turn his head to look at Peng Tian’s wretched appearance but looked towards that figure standing beside the Azure Spirit Tree at present.
There stood a well-built middle-aged man with a full beard on his face, looking awe-inspiring.
Ye Yuan had yet to speak when Hu Rong and the others cried out in surprise.
“Big Brother Hu Yan!”
“Clan Head Hu Yan!”
“Lord Hu Yan! You . . . You’re alright! That’s really great!”
This burly middle-aged man was actually the Darkfiend Tiger Clan’s Clan Head, Hu Yan!
This was truly the mantis stalking the cicada, being unaware of the oriole behind!
Peng Tian never would have dreamed that Hu Yan would actually appear here in perfectly good condition!
Without Hu Yan, Peng Tian was the Dongming Region’s most powerful existence.
These ten years, under subtle influence, Peng Tian regarded it this way!
If not for the sake of obtaining the Azure Spirit Tree, how could he wait patiently until now?
It was just that this way, the lowering of one’s vigilance with Peng Tian’s thoughts was unavoidable. Especially after obtaining the Azure Spirit Tree, Peng Tian was complacent with success. How could he still take any precaution?
Therefore, Hu Yan’s sneak attack succeeded!
Actually, it was not considered a success either. If there weren’t Ye Yuan’s last bit there, even if Peng Tian was injured, it would not be so severe either.
Ye Yuan did not even need to turn his head back to look and also knew that this blow of Hu Yan’s was absolutely not light. Even if Peng Tian did not die, he absolutely could not crawl with his feet either.
This fellow’s attack was not an ordinary kind of ruthless.
Of course, regarding Peng Tian, Ye Yuan did not have much of a favorable impression too, and obviously would not have any compassion towards him.
Hu Yan said coolly, “Hu Rong, it’s been hard on you these few years.”
Just one sentence, made Hu Rong’s tears flow down his aged face. He felt that the efforts expended these few years were all worth it!
All along, Hu Yan had been the Darkfiend Tiger Clan’s spiritual pillar. Even when he had no news for ten years, this point did not change either.
The moment he appeared, Hu Rong felt the heavy load on his shoulders lift off completely. Because Hu Yan was the tiger clan’s backbone.
“As long as Big Brother Hu Yan is well, what does this bit of hardship count as?” Hu Rong said tearfully.
Hu Yan gave him an encouraging smile, but his gaze turned towards Ye Yuan.
“Truly quite interesting. So many Tier 6 experts present all did not detect my existence. You, a puny little Tier 4 martial artist, could actually sense me!” Hu Yan asked Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was expressionless and did not have the intention of responding. He perked his spirits up fully too.
Very clearly, to talk about the most scheming person, it was none other than Hu Yan.
Peng Tian was not some individual with an undeserved reputation but was played by Hu Yan in the palm of his hands. He lacked power far too much.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that Hu Yan’s strength seemed to be even above Peng Tian’s; already touching the threshold of Tier 7.
Under the circumstances where his strength was stronger than the other party and still waited patiently the entire time until now, waiting for when Peng Tian’s guard was at the lowest to make a move, the depth of his schemes could be seen at a glance.
Towards such a person, Ye Yuan had no choice but to take precaution. Maybe he was still laughing and talking with you the previous moment, and the next instant, he would suddenly deal a killing move.
Such a person, Ye Yuan did not feel that White Light could ensure his safety.
But Ye Yuan had indeed discovered Hu Yan’s existence long ago. Ignoring his divine soul being powerful, being under Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm all along just now, everything in his surroundings was fully grasped under control.
Even though Hu Yan hid very covertly that even Peng Tian did not detect, Ye Yuan had long perceived that there was a very powerful existence in the vicinity.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s vigilant appearance, Hu Yan smiled and said, “Relax a little. No need to be so nervous. You’re Tiger Lord’s good brother, so naturally my Darkfiend Tiger Clan’s friend too. To be able to capture the Azure Spirit Tree today, it was all thanks to you as well.”
The meaning in Hu Yan’s words was actually wanting to directly take the Azure Spirit Tree for his own and did not have the intention of seeking Ye Yuan’s opinion at all.
Ye Yuan was not surprised. Hu Yan had schemed for so many years. Wasn’t the objective for the sake of the Azure Spirit Tree?
For him to hand over the Azure Spirit Tree without misgivings, that was obviously impossible.
“I’m very curious though. According to Hu Rong’s description, you should have been hit by the Traceless Soul Poison at that time. But looking at your appearance, not only did your divine soul not deteriorate, your strength advanced a step further instead. Could it be that you only acted out a show for your clansmen to see back then, and the goal was in order to implicate Peng Tian inside, to let him spearhead the attack for you?” Ye Yuan suddenly beamed and said.
Hu Yan did not have much of a surprised look on his face when he heard. But a gleam of cold light flashed past his eyes.
Ye Yuan’s words had some ulterior motives. They were clearly to drive a wedge on the relationship between him and his clansmen.
Indeed, after Hu Rong and the others heard Ye Yuan’s words, their faces all changed, revealing a complicated look on their faces.
“Your words are only half correct. I did indeed plan on making Peng Tian spearhead the attack for me. But I had also indeed been hit by the Traceless Soul Poison back then. It’s just that I myself didn’t expect either that not only did I pull through, my strength even advanced a step further because of the Traceless Soul Poison’s persecution. This process lasted for roughly four year’s time. In these four years, I was suffering the tormenting agony of the divine soul daily. It could be said to be days of darkness without sun.” Hu Yan explained.
Hearing Hu Yan’s explanation, Hu Rong and the rest revealed expressions of relief very quickly.
“Clan Head Hu Yan, it was all us who were incapable and had no way to help you!”
“Yeah. We used ten year’s time to lay down the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array. Didn’t expect that in the end, we were still not the Azure Spirit Tree’s match.”
