Boom!
The crescent light blade capable of slicing a Spirit Devour Realm into half crashed against Ye Mo. He was immediately sent flying backwards, creating a huge hole in the ground. Watching on, everyone was stunned and felt a sense of sorrow at the fall of a prodigy. As for Qi Ying and the rest, they stared hard at the hole, seemingly yet to recover from the shock they were experiencing.
However, what happened next once again sent shock waves across everyone. Ye Mo had taken a direct hit from a Transcendence Realm fighter and was completely fine. Ye Mo flew directly out from the hole, the Dragon Blood on his body forming the outline of the Ancient Dragon. However, due to the direct hit that he received, his aura had somewhat waned.
Ling’er said anxiously, “Brother Ye Mo, don’t fight with him anymore. Take this chance to escape while you’re still in the Dragon Blood state!”
Entering the Dragon Blood state made his defensive strength frighteningly strong. However, no matter how strong his defensive ability was, he had been lucky to be able to take a direct hit from Cao Zhengchun.
“Escape?” Ye Mo was suddenly stunned.
Seeing that Ye Mo’s head was not in the right place due to Xiao Yuanshan’s injury, Ling’er immediately shouted, “No matter how strong your Dragon Blood state is, you are ultimately still a punching bag to him – you won’t be able to take more hits. Your opponent has reached the Transcendence Realm. I suggest you escape. If you attack him now, you are asking for death. Anything is possible so long as you remain alive.”
Clenching his teeth, Ye Mo made himself completely calm. He was indeed affected by Xiao Yuanshan’s injury, and this had previously caused him to completely lose his mind. However, from what he can tell now, rushing over will only result in his death.
“Run!”
Ye Mo instantly made a decision and exploded towards the exit of the Qingyun Martial City.
“What kind of shame would I have to endure if I allow you to escape?” Detecting that Ye Mo was planning on escaping, Cao Zhengchun was instantly enraged. Grabbing his palm, all the purple lightning across the sky gather rapidly in an instant, forming a giant Thunder Snake. Covering the skies, the snake charged towards Ye Mo.
Hsss, hsss, hsss, hsss!
Seeing the situation, Ye Mo immediately summoned the Dragon Blood Powers that covered the top of the Sky Blood Spear. In an instant, the Sky Blood Spear completely erupted.
Dragon Blood was also a type of blood. With the Sky Blood Spear having a lust for blood, she absorbed it wildly, seemingly absorbing all of Ye Mo’s Dragon Blood. Ye Mo instantly detected a huge amount of energy waves on top of the Sky Blood Spear.
“Dragon Blood, Conqueror of the Skies!” Ye Mo roared as he stabbed his spear forward. In an instant, a ray of Dragon Blood was unleashed from the Sky Blood Spear, forming a giant ‘War’ word. The word carried the aura of engaging in a blood war with the world, as well as the bloodline strength of ancient beasts as it directly crashed into the Thunder Snake.
Boom!
The bloody word caused the glow of lightning to shoot out in all directions upon collision with the Thunder Snake, creating a giant rumble. The whole Qingyun League battleground completely lost its original shape, the whole layout of the ground changed.
The seven main Spirit Devour Realm fighters showed expressions of shock upon seeing what had just unfolded – this Ye Mo managed to block an attack from Cao Zhengchun. That was an attack from a Transcendence Realm fighter.
However, Ye Mo knew that by blocking this attack, he had already summoned and exhausted all of his Dragon Blood Powers. Initially, the Dragon Blood could be used for defensive purposes. Now that all of it had been absorbed by the Sky Blood Spear, all of the Dragon Blood had been unleashed.
“He managed to block my attack. His weapon must be a treasured one.”
Seeing what was before him, Cao Zhengchun’s killing intent grew even wilder. Clenching one of his fists, he combined himself with a twisted lightning strike and attacked towards Ye Mo’s head. In an instant, Ye Mo was enshrouded by a dark cloud. Above the cloud were howling lightning strikes as well as wind and rain intertwining with each other.
“Lightning Fury!” Just like that, a lightning strike descended devastatingly, directly striking Ye Mo’s body. At that moment, Ye Mo felt as though the veins and vitals in his body were numbed by the lightning strike, with cracks formed in all of his five main entrances.
“Die!” Cao Zhengchun waved his hand, and another lightning strike the size of a giant tree was formed above Ye Mo’s head. He then launched the lightning strike towards Ye Mo.
Just as Ye Mo felt a wave of helpless devastation, he heard a buzzing sound beside him. Turning around to look, he realized that there was an actual physical seal that was blocking in front of him, taking the hit of the lightning strike.
In a flash, the seal instantly exploded!
“Was that Ling’er?”
Shocked, Ye Mo then detected that Ling’er’s body inside his Energy Center was slowly disappearing, turning into a seal.
“Brother Ye Mo, this period spent with you really made me happy. You allowed me to learn what love, perseverance, and hard work meant. I’m sorry that Ling’er will not be able to continue on this journey with you.”
After that, Ling’er’s whole body turned into a seal. The seal flashed out of Ye Mo’s Energy Center and landed in Ye Mo’s hand. The seal’s texts looked extremely complicated. Ye Mo could even see a hint of Ling’er’s shadow on the seal.
“Ling’er, what’s happened to you? Didn’t you say that you can easily block a Transcendence Realm attack?”
At that point, Ye Mo’s face was already filled with tears. After that, he started to remember. Ling’er’s strength was nowhere near being able to block an attack in the Transcendence Realm – her purpose of saying those words was merely to help Ye Mo, allowing him to take the step forward without any distractions and defeat Cao Zheng.
“Ling’er you will not die. I will definitely find a way to save you.”
Clenching his teeth, he stared at Cao Zhengchun dead in the eyes before bursting away in retreat.
Feng Qingyang immediately rushed over upon recovering from his injuries and threw two seals towards Ye Mo. “Disciple, take these. These are two Level Three Wind Speed Seals. Escape from the Tianwu Kingdom and you will have the chance to train at the Door of Desolation. Accomplish great things in your training and return to avenge me.”
“Master!” Without hesitation, Ye Mo pasted the seals on the entrances of his two legs. Channeling the Bright Dragon Powers on top of the Wind Speed Seals, he shot towards the distance like a wave of wild wind. However, just as he was leaving, he heard the pained cries of Feng Qingyang. He had been directly stabbed through his body by the Transcendence Golden Body’s three-meter long Purple Light Lightning Blade. A first-generation elite of the Kingdom, Feng Qingyang of the Spirit Devour Realm, stabbed to death in a single strike by his opponent.
“All Imperial Guards and Chen Family soldiers, listen up. Lock all city entrances, and engage border defenses. That Ye Mo has been struck by my Transcendence Lightning Powers and doesn’t have much time to live. Furthermore, he is using a Level Three Seal. A True Energy Realm fighter cannot sustain a Level Three Wind Speed Seal for long. He cannot escape for long!”
The gigantic Transcendence Golden Body carried the Purple Light Lightning Blade in his hand, with Feng Qingyang’s pierced body on top of it. Everyone in the crowd was furious but were too afraid to even make a sound.
Seeing that Yao Qingyun was going to retaliate, Xuan Ji immediately stopped him, a glistening golden glow seen in her eyes. “League Chief, don’t be rash. Endure it. Wait till I make the breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm, and I will let him know the difference between advancing to the Transcendence Realm through cultivating the Transcendence Golden Body and directly advancing to the realm by strength alone.”
“Master Cao, the Young Master has been killed by the Sky Blood Aura!”
A voice of despair was suddenly heard as even the giant Transcendence Golden Body trembled wildly for a moment. Cao Zhengchun instantly withdrew from his Transcendence Golden Body state and rushed to Cao Zheng’s side. Looking at his lifeless son, he was instantly enraged.
Cao Zhengchun started to roar wildly, “Men, kill everyone from the Limestone City. I want them buried together with my son as revenge!”
“Cao Zhengchun, you are crossing the line.”
Qi Ying stood up once again and said, “Your son is dead. If you want to blame anyone for it, blame Ye Mo. Why bring the people of the Limestone City into this? The Emperor treats every one of the public as his children. If you dare start a massacre, then I will have no choice but to make use of the Emperor’s Orders.”
“The Emperor’s Orders?” Cao Zhengchun frowned. It was not that he was scared of the Emperor’s Orders – had Qi Ying used it to protect Ye Mo, he would have still killed him without any form of mercy.
However, killing members of the public would definitely infuriate the Emperor.
“The Empress treats the public like her children. I was in a moment of folly!”
Cao Zhengchun showed signs of withdrawing.
“Alright, let’s end things for today. As for that Ye Mo, do what you want with him. I’m tired, I’m heading back!”
After that, Qi Ying left the Qingyun League under the protection of a few elite fighters.
