Chapter 204: Outer League in Shock
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Spirit of h.e.l.lfire was a mid-grade spirit weapon, and the weapon used by Ye Qing when he became famous. However, not many had seen the weapon before.
That was because when Ye Qing became famous, he no longer had use for a weapon. In the Transcendence Realm, he was undefeatable.
Seeing the appearance of the Spirit of h.e.l.lfire almost angered Ye Mo. However, he did his best to suppress his emotions.
There was no point of him acting out. Ye Changsheng was handpicked by the Xuan Ji League Chief. What was the point of beating him?
The appearance of the Spirit of h.e.l.lfire shocked everyone in the arena regardless of who they were.
Even the elder level figures revealed expressions of surprise.
“Can’t believe he took out a spirit weapon. However, even if he did have the help of one, you would need some level of competence to overcome and challenge two Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighters. Otherwise, having the weapon would be in vain anyway.”
“Don’t tell me Xuan Ji gave him the weapon?” The few elders were in discussion.
The fire light engulfed the whole arena as Ye Changsheng’s aura reached its peak as well. He prepared to attack.
Without hesitating, with beams of fire light around him, Ye Changshen’s whole body disappeared. On the spot from which he’d vanished was a ray of fire light still glowing in elegance. The aura was not forceful or intimidating, just a fiery glow.
Like the Spirit of h.e.l.lfire, the elemental fire that it generated was a destructive flame.
The h.e.l.lfire Blade’s appearance was like an explosion of fireworks, like a shooting star piercing through the darkness – temporary and beautiful. However, the light blade contained soul-burning powers.
A flash of the blade caused one of the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter’s whole body to be embroiled in flames as he was sent flying backwards like a cannonball as he screamed continuously in pain.
“The flame on your body is a type of h.e.l.lfire that never fades. Had your body not been strengthened by energy, it would have already been in flames,” said Ye Changsheng. With a swing of the Spirit of h.e.l.lfire, the h.e.l.lfire wrapped around the league member’s body was completely absorbed back in the sword.
However, the league member was already naked, his whole body burnt black with a scar along his chest. Any b.l.o.o.d.y that had surfaced from his wounds had already been burnt off by the h.e.l.lfire.
“Do you still want to fight?” Ye Changsheng smiled mockingly at the other Inner League member as he slowly walked down the platform. The league member was hesitant to attack, having been completely shocked by Ye Changsheng’s sword.
As Ye Changsheng walked down the area, everyone was in a state of shock – by his Spirit of h.e.l.lfire, by his blade. A few Energy Shaping Fifth Realm fighters felt their blood rise inside their bodies.
“That attack! How incredible. He easily defeated an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter. However, the weapon in his hand is only a spirit weapon.
“But that blade is definitely something special. It did not have a sword aura but was still so devastating, threatening to send everything up in flames.”
Everyone stared at the sword as they heaved a sigh in their hearts. This batch’s members were indeed tough.
“Impressive!”
Ye Mo also looked at Ye Changsheng, deeply in shock. Under the guidance of Xuan Ji, Ye Changsheng’s strength had reached such frightening levels.
While he did have help from the Spirit of h.e.l.lfire, that attack was indeed impressive. Perhaps it was a type of highly specialized sword martial techniques, Ye Mo thought.
The level of excitement towards the other compet.i.tors dropped significantly afterwards.
The two league members from the Hu Clan slightly surprised some people, too. Hu Bahu of the Energy Shaping Second Realm ended his bout with the Inner League member in a tie.
Energy Shaping First Realm fighter Hu Batian endured the ten moves from the Inner League members, perhaps performing above his usual standards due to Ye Mo.
The two other fighters in the Energy Shaping Second Realm faced heavy defeats, while the lady in green, the only fighter in the Energy Shaping Third Realm, drew with her opponent.
As compared to Ye Changsheng’s demonstration, these people’s matches were somewhat flat.
It turned out that Hu Clan’s Hu Batian, the lady in green, drawing with the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm were battle results that were rarely seen.
Furthermore, the opposing league members were in the Inner League and much stronger than normal Energy Shaping Fourth Realm.
However, Ye Changsheng completely outshone them, causing them to appear dull in comparison.
Plenty of people were discussing Ye Changsheng while the compet.i.tion went on. This slightly irked Ling Xue.
“There’s nothing impressive about Ye Changsheng. There is still Ye Mo, who has yet to go up.”
“Unless you’re telling me he can defeat an Inner League member in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm?” A league member standing beside Ling Xue mocked.
“There is one final league member, let us see how he performs!” The host’s voice was heard across the area again.
Ye Mo slowly walked forward towards the Inner League member.
The league member was around 20 years old. With a face of cold arrogance, he saw Ye Mo coming towards him and said, “You must be Ye Mo. I was actually also arranged by Ye Changsheng to deal with you. I may also be a fighter in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm, but don’t compare me with those nine other useless beings. Ye Changsheng wants you dead, but I dare not kill you. However, the Qingyun League will not blame me if I crippled a few limbs of yours.”
“Cripple my limbs? Do you have what it takes?”
This person carried a intimidating presence that was evident from the moment he spoke. Normal people would be scared.
Facing another man in battle, one must ensure that his aura is extremely strong, that there is peace and quiet in his mind to allow better transfer of energy.
“Hmph!”
The league member laughed coldly before disappearing like an invisible illusion. The next moment, he was behind Ye Mo.
“Explosive Energy Palm!”
The palm was extremely mighty, creating sharp, howling winds; the energy was ignited upon its release.
However, the instant he launched the attack, Ye Mo disappeared from his position, leaving only a black shadow behind.
Following that, the league member was surrounded by five shadows.
The league member was taken by surprise. Looking at the shadows surrounding him from all sides, he could not understand what was happening. Unless Ye Mo had the ability to duplicate himself?
“As far as our speed goes, you are still far behind me!”
Ye Mo’s shadows once again gathered back into his body as a black dragon power enshrouded the surface of his fist. He sent the attack towards the other fighter. The league member was sent flying back before he could even react. Lying on the ground, he coughed up big mouthfuls of blood, an expression of suffering and disbelief written all over his face.
All of this happened in an instant as Ye Mo’s single punch defeated an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter.
Everyone was temporarily left in confusion, the whole arena falling silent. Suddenly, an explosive roar of applause followed. If Ye Changsheng’s performance was breathtaking, Ye Mo’s performance was almost perfect.
An Energy Shaping First Realm fighter displaying such frightening speed, defeating a Fourth Realm with a single punch — this type of tier-defying challenge was too scary. Ye Mo did not even use any weapon.
“This is not a trick or illusion, but simply sheer speed. I’m taking Ye Mo under my wing!” Elder Feng immediately stood up!
