The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

The three of them dashed through the forest without stopping. On their way, they met numerous union members in preparation who were handled by Ye Mo with minimal fuss.

However, Ye Mo did not take their lives, merely wounding them and even gifting some his extra union passes. Those union members, who were plotting to steal Ye Mo and company’s union passes in the first place, were left puzzled.

Zheng Sanmu and Yang Jiaosu finally realized that their savior was not as simple as they initially believed. He had this mysterious aura that kept others from finding out his true power.

“Savior, I’ve noticed that your level of training is only in the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm, but you are so powerful nonetheless. Surely not even someone in the Energy Shaping Second Realm can match up to you?” asked Zheng Sanmu.

“Haha, Brother Sanmu, you and I have hit it off since the first time we met, so stop calling me your savior or whatever. My name is Ye Mo, from the Western region of Limestone City.”

“Brother Ye, you are from Limestone City?” asked Zheng Sanmu, surprised.

“Eh?” Ye Mo was shocked as well, and asked, “Don’t tell me you know about Limestone City as well?”

Limestone City was located in Tianwu Kingdom, and one of the lowest ranking cities too, far from being renowned.

“I’ve studied Chinese history before. Ye Qing, the past legendary champion of Tianwu Kingdom, was from Limestone City. Ye Qing… Ye Mo, your surname is also Ye. Don’t tell me you are related to Ye Qing?” asked Zheng Sanmu, who was still in a state of surprise.

“Haha, no, I am not. We merely share the same surname. Ye Qing was indeed a genius from Limestone City, and he is someone who I wish to emulate. Anyway, we should go and meet up with my three friends.”

At the Western parts of the Unbreakable Mountain, along the limitless mountain range, laid a huge cave, its inside lit by a bonfire. Around the bonfire sat three people, two men and a woman.

“Why is Ye Mo not back yet? Did something happen to him? Should we head towards the Formation Center? With our combined strength, if we are lucky enough, any Energy Shaping Second Realm warriors should not be a problem for us.” Ling Xue spoke, having been sitting there a long while and finally running out of patience.

“Let us wait for a while more, Ling Xue. Considering Ye Mo’s power, so long as he is not surrounded by Energy Shaping Second Realm fighters, he is capable of escaping any situation. Perhaps he ran into monsters that were more difficult to deal with,” suggested Li Suifeng.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the cave, along with a voice that sounded like a human.

“That must be Ye Mo! I’ll go out and take a look!”

A delighted Ling Xue got up and ran out, and what followed was a muffled sound as Ling Xue’s body went straight down, hitting hard on the stone walls, her face filled with pain.

Li Suifeng and Tong Qian’s faces changed immediately as they rushed outwards as well, only to see a man of the Energy Shaping Second Realm standing there, cross-armed.

This man was one who interrupted Yunshan when he was attempting to convince the union members in preparation to withdraw from the test–Yun Baitain.

“May I know why you attacked my partner for no reason? Our union passes have already been taken by others, which is why we are here in the cave for refuge.”

Li Suifeng’s tone was polite as he controlled his anger, knowing very well that he was talking to someone in the Energy Shaping Second Realm.

“I am not here to take your passes, I am here to kill all of you. If I remember correctly, Ye Mo is part of your company, isn’t he? That’s right. Ye Mo ruined our plans–the Yun family was supposed to make use of this union entry test to gain plenty of union passes, which would have brought us a fortune selling them. Too bad Ye Mo spoiled it all for us. So if you want to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being part of Ye Mo’s group.”

“What? You are from Yun family of the Heaven’s Wall City?” Li Suifeng was shocked.

“Since you all have heard of the Yun family, you should know the price you pay if you offend us. I see that Ye Mo has yet to return, which means he has definitely failed,” said Yun Baitian.

“Yun family? So what! We are still disciples of the Tianxiang Society. Do you think we are scared of you?”

“Tianxiang Society? The Tianxiang Society that can never get recognized by the royalty despite all of its efforts? Hahaha, you three must be dreaming if you think you can enter the Qingyun League. You three are only in the Energy Shaping First Realm. I shall execute all of you today.”

Yun Baitian let out a cry and surged forward through the air, energy channelling into his fists as he charged at the two of them with overpowering strength.

“Suifeng, Tong Qian, we will fight him with everything we got. Use the Tianxiang Formation!” Ling Xue immediately shouted, her face pale as white and she clutched her chest.

Inside Li Suifeng’s eyes was the wild winds, inside Tong Qian’s was a crescent moon, and inside Ling Xue’s was ice and snow!

The three of them waved the weapons in their hands at the same time, releasing an incredible amount of energy from their bodies. The energy force moved around violently, changing the color of the sky in the surrounding. A huge crescent moon appeared above Yun Baitian’s head, and he was suddenly engulfed in darkness. Along with the bleak darkness came a flurry of wild gusts that spiralled into a headwind that was accentuated by ice and snow, making it even more frightening.

Tianxiang Society’s technique was naturally related to the weather. Tong Qian’s skill engulfed the opponent in complete darkness upon summoning a crescent moon, which could be transformed into a blade for the finishing blow. Legend has it that a member of the Tianxiang Society could plunge the whole sky into darkness in just a short period of time–an extremely scary technique.

“Tianxiang Formation? Facing absolute power, it is nothing but fluff!”

A giant light blade emerged, and like a strike against the water current, the crescent moon was the first to be cut down, returning the sky to its normal color. The wild snow storm was also shattered into smithereens.

With their technique destroyed, the three of them violently coughed out mouthfuls of blood before being sent flying backwards.

“Haha, so this is the Tianxiang Formation? Not even worth a strike of my blade.”

“I give you three breaths of time to prepare your ultimate move. Or else, prepare to die!”

A stern voice was heard from behind Yun Baitian, followed by a dark shadow shooting forward. On top of the shadow stood Ye Mo.

“Ye Mo, you are still alive? And you dare give me three breaths of time to prepare my ultimate move? What right do you have? Don’t think that just because you blocked a move from Brother Yun Shan that you have the power to challenge a warrior in the Energy Shaping Realm. I am an Energy Shaping Second Realm warrior. You are nothing to me.”

Without saying a single word, a fist flashed towards Yun Baitian, crashing against his chest. He did not even see Ye Mo initiating the attack.

Whoosh!

A mere punch sent Yun Baitian flying backwards at least 30 feet and crashing into a giant tree. Such was the impact of the crash that the tree was filled with cracks upon collision.

“I gave you three breaths! Too bad you didn’t cherish your chance!”

Such dominance and arrogance! Ling Xue looked at Ye Mo, his heart pounding wildly, not even able to register the pain of her injury anymore.

“How is this possible? Why is he so strong?”

Yun Baitian was in complete denial. A warrior in the Energy Shaping Second Realm was sent flying by a single punch from a warrior in the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm.

With Yun Baitian still in a state of shock, Ye Mo sent another fist flying his way.

Boom!

This punch, however, did not land on Yun Baitian’s body, but on Yun Shan’s instead. The punch caused stream of blood to shoot out from Yun Shan. Little did everyone know that completely oblivious to them, the wounded Yun Shan took the chance to shoot the Long Armed Ape Monkey’s blood onto Ye Mo.
