“You couldn’t have forgotten what I said at the Gorge of Death, right? I told you if I was lucky enough to survive, I will definitely kill you. Have you forgotten that?”
Ye Mo snapped his fingers and sneered, “Since I dare to show myself before you guys, it means I am now strong enough to defeat you two. Since you tried so hard to kill me back then, I won’t be able to calm the hatred in my heart without killing you two.”
“Audacious. You dare to claim that you’re going to kill Xue Xiu?” Li Tianhe was infuriated by Ye Mo’s words. As an Energy Shaping Third Realm warrior, Ye Mo was actually still so arrogant when surrounded by two Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warriors.
Li Tianhe leapt and shot out like an artillery sh.e.l.l. In a flash, he arrived before Ye Mo and punched out. His advance was as ferocious as a tiger while his punch was as mighty as lightning. With origin energy wrapped around his fist, he was not only able to penetrate everything but also able to conquer strength with softness.
This was a major technique of Li Tianhe: Water Wrapped Fist.
The Water Wrapped Fist cultivated by Li Tianhe was incredibly bizarre. It contained the Gentleness Power within and at the same time, with his punch, it could shed off his opponent’s attack.
“Kid, you’re not even a Energy Shaping Fourth Realm warrior yet you are so arrogant that you think you’re going to kill Xue Xiu? You are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
Bang!
And yet just after Li Tianhe finished his words, Ye Mo pushed out with his palm. A rumble sounded as a mighty aura descended. Numerous black dragons shot out of Ye Mo’s palm and whizzed through the air like a rampaging horde. Explosions filled the entirety of the 100-step radius around Ye Mo.
This valiant attack had not only crushed Li Tianhe’s attack, but Ye Mo’s palm had also landed on Li Tianhe’s chest. His flesh and blood sprayed everywhere while a huge hole appeared on his chest. Blood poured out without stopping.
Li Tianhe collapsed onto the ground with a miserable expression and astonishment on his face.
Then, Ye Mo spread his fingers and a huge black dragon shot out and wrapped itself around Li Tianhe. It easily lifted him up in the air.
“You!” Li Tianhe shouted when he saw that Ye Mo’s black dragon was lifting him up in an extremely humiliating upside down position, “Ye Mo! What are you trying to do? Put me down!”
“Put your down? Since you want to kill me, how can I let you go?”
“Ye Mo, I am an Inner League member of the Ling Xuan Sub-league. My brother is an Elite League member of Ling Xuan Sub-league. He is also an expert ranked 10th in the Qingyun Ranking. If you dare do anything to me, he will not let you off. You should understand the consequences of offending an expert of the Qingyun Ranking,” Li Tianhe angrily shouted.
The Qingyun Ranking is a ranking of experts within Qingyun League. Any league members below True Origin Realm could try entering the ranking. The stronger a person was, the higher that person could be ranked.
“Let Li Tianhe go!”
Before Ye Mo could reply, Xue Xiu unsheathed his crimson sword. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. “Ye Mo, I have never expected that your growth has been this rapid. With a single move, you defeated Li Tianhe, an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior. Is this what you’re relying on to act so arrogantly? Truth be told, although I am not yet at the Seventh Realm, I am already at the peak of the Sixth Realm. I am now capable of easily defeating a Sixth Realm warrior with a single move. I hadn’t been using my full strength when we fought previously. Let me end you today.”
Before Xue Xiu started speaking, a crimson origin energy started materializing around him. A pair of energy wings also unfurled out of his back. Slowly, he hovered up in the air. A huge amount of aura erupted out of his body, looking like he was going to reach the Seventh Realm at any time.
Xue Xiu was only a tiny bit away from reaching the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm. On his body, a layer of crimson-colored energy sh.e.l.l had appeared as well. This was the energy s.h.i.+eld, something one could only use after reaching Energy Shaping Seventh Realm. Birds and beasts started fleeing the forest.
“Hehe. Ye Mo, my advice for you is to quickly put me down. Xue Xiu is going to make a move soon. There’s no way you can stop his attack.”
Controlling his Dragon Power, Ye Mo tossed Li Tianhe to the side. Li Tianhe immediately took out his pills and started healing his injuries.
“Ye Mo, let me show you my strongest martial technique, Bloodstalker. With one move, I will end you,” Xue Xiu spoke while hovering in the air, like a demon that had emerged from the blood purgatory.
Bloodstalker was indeed an incredibly strong move.
“Bloodstalker? Can you even release that technique?”
Ye Mo’s eyes shone. Then, he vanished and reappeared behind Xue Xiu. A Dragon Spear with Purple Flame Spirit Qi curled around it materialized out of thin air. With a stab, the entirety of Xue Xiu’s energy defensive s.h.i.+eld shattered. Then, Ye Mo put the spear away and before Xue Xiu could react to it, he slammed his fist onto Xue Xiu’s chest.
With a single punch, he blasted Xue Xiu back on the ground, creating cracks on the ground. Ye Mo then landed from the air. He kicked out and sent Xue Xiu flying to Li Hetian.
“That’s impossible! How can you reach me? I have already reached the peak of Energy Shaping Sixth Realm. How can a puny Energy Shaping Third Realm warrior like you defeat me?”
Xue Xiu who looked as mighty as a G.o.d earlier was instantly blasted to the ground with only one punch. The great difference between his expectation and reality drove Xue Xiu mad.
“The fact is that it’s really possible. The two of you had innocently believed that you were capable of tailing me. Then, you tried to force me to admit to killing Song Yang. Unfortunately, you are unaware of the fact that my current strength is far beyond my previous strength. Let me tell you the truth. I had long mastered the Windwalk Technique. When you blasted me off the cliff back then, I had purposely said those words. Although I have yet to reach Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, I am still capable of walking in the air.”
Then, Ye Mo withdrew his aura, transforming back into an ordinary Energy Shaping Third Realm warrior. Both Xue Xiu and Li Tianhe looked at Ye Mo in disbelief. They found it hard to believe that it had only been a few days but Ye Mo had far surpa.s.sed them, reaching such a terrifying level of strength.
“I have naturally grown stronger after finding Saint Skyburn’s tomb. After using the pill left behind by Saint Skyburn, the mortal gates and origin energy within me were strengthened greatly,” Ye Mo told them.
“No wonder his strength became this terrifying. So he had actually found Saint Skyburn’s tomb!” The two were alarmed.
“Since the two of you want to kill me, I can’t possibly leave you alive. Well, I might as well kill you here,” Ye Mo continued.
“Ye Mo, you dare kill us? Are you not afraid of being found out by the people from Ling Xuan Sub-league and Xuan Ji Sub-league? If we do not return after three days of leaving the league, they will start suspecting things. With experts of the league coming out on a search, they will definitely be able to figure out that you’re the killer. At that point, you won’t be able to escape even if you run to the end of the world,” Li Tianhe howled, disregarding everything. In any case, he was going to get killed soon.
“Haha, Xuan Ji Sub-league has been trying to kill me because of Ye Changsheng. Do you think I’m afraid of him? With my current potential, if I join the Jin Xiu Sub-league, League Chief Xiao Jin will definitely take a liking to me,” Ye Mo replied indifferently.
“Ye Mo, so long as you let us go, I promise that Ye Changsheng will never make trouble for you anymore. We will also keep the secret that you have Song Yang’s dragon spine in your possession,” Xue Xiu solemnly vowed when he saw that Ye Mo was unafraid of their threats.
“Let you go? I told you I will definitely kill you. Of course, I won’t do it personally. Li Tianhe, if you want to live, kill Xue Xiu,” Ye Mo said, an odd smile appearing on his face.
