Chapter 348: Sprinting at Full Speed!

Although Blue Leopard was also a close-combat martial artist, his fist wind could attack from a distance.

As long as one entered his attack range, Blue Leopard could kill Ye Yuan without even needing to catch up.

But just as Ye Yuan was about to enter his attack range, the opponent actually accelerated!

This frustrated Blue Leopard immensely!

"This kid, how many trump cards does he have left! How can a Condensing Crystal First Layer be this fast!" Blue Leopard found it incomprehensible.

Yet this was reality, and he had no choice but to accept it.

For someone who was once an Alchemy Emperor, it was perfectly normal for Blue Leopard not to understand.

This time entering the secret realm, Ye Yuan had made ample preparations!

Before setting out, he had spent a full five hundred thousand points, all used to exchange for third-grade medicinal herbs to refine pills!

During the three-day-three-night chase, Ye Yuan had been continuously burning his Yuan Power to execute the Spirit Void Air Walk.

The most abundant thing he had prepared for this trip was pills to restore Yuan Power, and he had been popping pills all the way until now.

Relying on the knowledge of the Stormwind Vulture obtained from Blue Wind, he managed to hold out against Blue Leopard for three days and three nights!

But this was already the limit; the Stormwind Vulture was too fast, and even with Ye Yuan's extraordinary movement technique, it was already remarkable that he had lasted this long.

Knowing he couldn't escape, Ye Yuan set up an ambush and designed to kill the Stormwind Vulture!

However, after killing the Stormwind Vulture, Ye Yuan and Blue Leopard had to face each other head-on.

With his current strength, he was no match for Blue Leopard at all.

The previous battle had clearly shown many things; the Thousand Streams Flying Flower that had surprisingly killed Blue Wind was ineffective against Blue Leopard.

So he had only one option—run!

In terms of movement technique, Ye Yuan was even slightly inferior to the Stormwind Vulture, let alone Blue Leopard.

Whether in Yuan Power or the comprehension of Wind Intent, Ye Yuan was no match for Blue Leopard.

But... Ye Yuan had pills!

Third-grade Swift Travel Pill!

This Swift Travel Pill was incredibly powerful among third-grade pills; it could stimulate the meridians and acupoints within a martial artist's body, doubling their movement speed!

Only Ye Yuan could refine such an outrageous effect; if another Grand Alchemist came, they would probably at most refine a superior-grade Swift Wind Pill, with only a fifty percent speed boost.

Of course, a fifty percent speed boost was already quite impressive in general terms.

But the Swift Travel Pills Ye Yuan refined were all peak-grade pills!

The Yuan Power burning under the Transmission Intent, combined with the Spirit Void Air Walk movement technique and the peak-grade Swift Travel Pill, multiplied Ye Yuan's speed several times over!

Instantly widening the distance between him and Blue Leopard!

Blue Leopard now felt like vomiting blood; just as Ye Yuan was about to enter his attack range, the opponent had suddenly pulled away!

And Blue Leopard's movement technique was already at its fastest, yet he watched as the distance between him and Ye Yuan grew larger and larger!

A Transformation Sea Fifth Layer going all out, yet unable to catch up with a Condensing Crystal First Layer—this scene was somewhat comical no matter how you looked at it.

"This kid must be using some secret technique; it definitely won't last long! I don't believe you can maintain this speed forever!" Blue Leopard thought to himself.

However, the result greatly disappointed Blue Panther. Ye Yuan's legs seemed to run tirelessly, never knowing fatigue.

After half a day, not only had Blue Panther failed to catch up with Ye Yuan, but he had actually fallen far behind!

Blue Panther grew frantic. If he lost track of Ye Yuan, without the Gale Vulture, he would never find him again.

"Damn it! What sorcery is this kid using to maintain such speed for so long? No, if this continues, I'll lose him! I'll go all out! I must kill this brat!"

Blue Panther gritted his teeth, bit the tip of his tongue, and swallowed a drop of his vital essence blood.

"This damned kid made me burn my vital essence blood! When I catch you, I'll make you regret being born!" Blue Panther growled through clenched teeth.

A martial artist's vital essence blood was extremely precious, and once lost, it was very difficult to replenish.

Moreover, if the loss of vital essence blood exceeded a certain amount, the martial artist risked a drop in cultivation realm!

As the vital essence blood entered his stomach, Blue Panther's speed immediately surged!

In a wild chase, he gradually closed the distance between them!

And Blue Panther was delighted to find that Ye Yuan's speed was gradually slowing! With this reversal, catching up seemed only a matter of time!

"Kid, you can't hold out any longer now, can you? Haha... Prepare to die!"

Blue Panther gathered his strength secretly, ready to deliver a fatal blow!

But just then, Ye Yuan's speed shot up again, returning to its initial pace!

Blue Panther's burning essence blood was gradually depleting, so his speed naturally slowed. The two ran one behind the other, their speeds almost equal!

This time, however, Blue Panther finally saw clearly: Ye Yuan had just swallowed two pills in quick succession!

This made him want to curse his mother. What kind of pills was this kid eating to have such an outrageous effect?

And so, Ye Yuan and Blue Panther, one ahead and one behind, raced through the desolate fourth-level gale zone.

Sometimes Ye Yuan was faster, leaving Blue Panther behind; sometimes Blue Panther was faster, nearly catching up.

Once, Blue Panther almost entered attack range, startling Ye Yuan into a cold sweat.

After that, Ye Yuan no longer dared to wait for the pill's effect to fade before taking another Swift Travel Pill. As soon as his speed slowed slightly, he would immediately swallow one.

The two chased each other, running wildly for another three days and three nights!

They had completely lost track of how far they had run. But they could feel the gale growing stronger, and soon they would enter the fifth-level gale zone!

The fifth-level gale zone was a forbidden area for Crystal Formation realm martial artists.

Even an Ocean Transformation expert like Blue Panther dared not venture too deep.

Once he exceeded his limits, Blue Panther would be sliced to pieces by the wind blades!

"Ye Yuan, ahead is the fifth-level gale zone. Where else can you run? You should know that the fifth-level gale zone is forbidden for Crystal Formation! I advise you to surrender and I'll give you a quick death!" Blue Panther shouted loudly.

"Bah! Do you take me for a fool? I'd rather be blown to death by the gale than stop! Give up that hope! If you've got the guts, come after me! Let's see how much essence blood you can burn!" Ye Yuan's voice came from afar.

In truth, both Ye Yuan and Blue Panther were nearing their limits.

No matter how miraculous Ye Yuan's pills were, he couldn't keep eating them indefinitely. Moreover, his supply of Swift Travel Pills was nearly depleted!

After running day and night, Ye Yuan had consumed no fewer than twenty Swift Travel Pills, and his body had reached its limit.

Blue Panther was not much better off; he had already burned nearly ten percent of his essence blood!

That was his limit. If he burned any more, he risked a drop in cultivation realm.

And after such frantic running, he too had reached his limit!
