The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

“Haha, not bad,” Lue Kong nodded. “Those eight men are extremely powerful as a collective – if we were to go at them blow for blow, we would’ve ended up suffering losses as well.”

He waved his arm. The Blood Ghost Double-Winged Crocodile snapped its jaws at the group of fighters before it. The other dozen of monsters also displayed their respective abilities as they rushed over in attack.

They were exactly after people like Ye Mo, aiming to tear him to shreds and steal his Dimensional Bracelet. Bandits like them specialized in stealing from fighters who weren’t from the city – not only did they not have to worry about retribution, outsiders were gullible as well.

“We got it,” Lue Kong smirked. “While there’s an Eighth Tier Transcendence Realm fighter among the group, it’s unlikely that they’ll be able to escape from us.”

“These people are fighters here to shop at the Seal Spirit City – they should have some riches on them,” Qing Tai said mockingly, standing atop the Blood Ghost Double-Winged Crocodile.

“They should be dead, shouldn’t they?”

“Don’t you understand the might of the Blood Ghost Double-Winged Crocodile’s attack? Yun Jing was injected with the Blood Ghost Double-Winged Crocodile’s Blood Ghost Imprint – once unleashed, it’s extremely powerful – even fighters in the Eighth Tier won’t be able to withstand it easily.”

The bandits in the air were all mid-tier and top-tier seal artists. They wanted to see how badly their eight victims were blown up.

Boom.

At that moment, rays upon rays of frightening attacks were unleashed, bursting through the clouds and shooting towards all directions. One of the mid-tier seal artists was struck by the attack. With a pained scream, he turned into a fog of blood and disappeared.

“What is this?”

“Retreat! It’s the Transcendence Golden Body – one of them has unleashed his golden body.”

The group of bandits was taken by surprise, and they ordered their monsters to retreat.

The clouds were scattered and a gigantic bronze man floated in the sky, more than thirty meters tall. His body gave off a bronze glow. An indestructible titan, it was Nangong Wudi’s Transcendence Golden Body – the Ancient Bronze Man, ranked 47th among Transcendence Golden Bodies. Named after Wushang, no one at his level was able to hurt him, so strong was his defense. The other seven stood above the bronze man.

“Actually, we’ve seen through your scheme from the beginning. We were just wondering what you all were going to do,” Ye Mo said calmly. “My uncle’s Ancient Bronze Man isn’t something that nobodies like you can hurt with a few monsters at your beck and call. Now then, we’re here at the Seal City to purchase some goods, and we need some money. Surrender whatever Dimensional Bracelets or storage rings you have to us, and we’ll spare your lives.”

Ye Mo’s performance was the most outstanding among the four elite guards. While he was just a fighter in the advanced stage of the Spirit Devour Realm, the authority that he displayed astounded everyone. How much confidence did someone need to talk like that?

“Ancient Bronze Man? What kind of Transcendence Golden Body is that?” Lue Kong was taken by surprise. “How do you have such a powerful Transcendence Golden Body?”

These seal artists all specialized in seals and their training. They were completely different from Ye Mo and the rest – while they had some understanding of realms, they were almost completely clueless about martial techniques.

“Boss Lue Kong, we have no reason to fear him. Even if it’s the Ancient Bronze Man, we can smash him into pieces with our seal techniques.”

“That’s right. Let’s show these foreigners the true power of our seals. A Level Four Seal can match up to an Eighth Tier Transcendence Realm fighter.”

A man waved his hand, sending a seal flying out. The atmosphere became eerie, with a thick ghostly presence. The place was surrounded by black ghost flames as ghost lanterns started to appear in the air.

“Ghost Lantern Seal!”

Boom!

In an instant, the howling of undead wolves was heard. The sky darkened as countless ghost lanterns attacked the Ancient Bronze Man.

The attack surprised the people watching. It was a mid-tier Level Four Seal – its attack had the seal artist’s battle will imbued in it, carrying various wills and auras.

“No wonder Hong Lin said that seals would be important for fighters when they reach the Transcendence Realm.” Ye Mo was taken aback as he hid behind the Ancient Bronze Man. “He’s just generating martial techniques out of thin air – so long as he has enough True Energy, he’ll be able to use the seals for some strong martial techniques.”

Boom, boom, boom!

“Transcendence Might – Indestructible Bronze Man Punch!” Nangong Wudi unleashed a punch as his golden body’s arm took a swing.

A sky-shattering sound could be heard from above the sky. The ghost lanterns, howling and ghost flames were completely wiped out.

“This man is strong. Let’s escape first!”

Seeing that the odds were against them – just the one man they were fighting was already more than they could handle – Lue Kong’s group of bandits all turned to thoughts of escape.

“Looks like we bumped into an extremely strong fighter.” Lue Kong was stunned.

“You gotta pay a price if you want to escape.” Ye Mo unleashed the Cage Dragon Powers as they flew away. As he sharpened his glance, he sent a wave of frightening aura washing over the bandits.

Dragon’s Might!

The aura from the king among beasts was unleashed, causing all the monsters below the Third Tier of the Transcendence Realm to drop out of the sky. Even those in the third tier were overwhelmed by the onrushing aura.

Ye Mo’s aura belonged to that of the Giant Dragon, the king among beasts – so long as it was a beast, they would have to abide. Those below Ye Mo’s strength level straight-up lost their will to keep fighting.

Only the Blood Ghost Double Wing Crocodile was left facing Ye Mo.

“What’s going on?”

“How is this possible? What did that young man do? Why did all of our monsters lose their battle will?”

“That young man is just in the Spirit Devour Realm. No matter how strong he is, his spiritual attack shouldn’t be able to make our monsters lose their battle will.”

Watching on, both Lue Kong’s bandits and Ye Mo’s partners were taken by surprise.

Imagine the feeling of having the monster you were standing on just drop out of the sky with no warning.

At first, they could still escape using their monsters. Now that the monsters had lost their battle will they were also suffering and all they could do was land on the Blood Ghost Double Wing Crocodile.

“Run!” Lue Kong shouted, controlling the Blood Ghost Double-Winged Crocodile as he tried to escape. But the people from the Big Four Clans were already on the move. They made their move in unison, locking down on the Blood Ghost Double-Winged Crocodile. Sword and knife light blades flashed, piercing the air. In an instant, the two gigantic blood wings were cut down.

The Blood Ghost Double-Winged Crocodile let out a pained cry. Without its wings, it couldn’t fly and landed heavily onto the group. The ten or so bandits unleashed their wings in the air, but, inside, they were engulfed by fear. The eight people had already surrounded bandits.

Without their monsters, they were complete pushovers.
