“They are merely at the strengths of the Energy Shaping Seventh and Eighth Realm. Are they coming out here to kill themselves?” The imperial guards sneered when they saw the newcomers.

“Although we are weak, we do not fear you guys. Most of us live our lives on the edge anyway. We have no families or anyone else depending on us. We will fight to the death against anyone who dares to bully our captain.”

They started roaring. With the momentum of their combined roars, they looked almost like they could contend against Cao Zheng’s suppression.

“You are all I can ask for as comrades. Knowing you guys, I no longer have any regrets in life. If I can survive today, I will remember this moment fondly.”

Ye Mo stood up, looking incomparably heroic. Although the 12 of them might not be Cao Zheng’s match, their unwavering loyalty to each other in the face of danger moved many people there.

“Good comrades!”

All of them roared, their voices spread far and wide, allowing everyone to hear them clearly. They were truly filled with a heroic spirit, causing any onlooker’s blood to boil.

“So a random mob like this is trying to fight me? Are all of you trying to die?”

Cao Zheng stared at all 12 of them, Ye Mo included. He waved his hand and sent a huge purple lightning attack out at them. With a flash, the air started warping. Ye Mo could sense that energy undulations were starting to appear in the air around them, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

“Threefold Spearlight!”

Ye Mo erupted with his human spear unity. Three spears emerged from his heart. Then, a huge spear light of about 90 feet long appeared to guard the entire escort party. However, the purple lightning immediately disintegrated the spear before directly gushing into his body. Before the others could even react, the purple lightning had already entered Ye Mo’s body.

A True Energy Realm warrior was too powerful. One of his attacks was enough to kill them all.

“You guys think you can actually save Ye Mo? You guys think you are a match for me? You are nothing but bugs for me. Know your place.”

As Cao Zheng spoke, a lightning armor formed on his body. Electricity started crackling on his body without stop. Any regular Energy Shaping Realm would immediately die with a mere touch of his armor.

“Since you guys want to die so badly, let me do the honor of sending you to the afterlife!”

Rumble!

Ye Mo could feel Cao Zheng’s aura growing stronger and stronger. The electricity crackling on his body also grew thicker and thicker. Then, he formed a purple lightning spear in his hand and charged at Ye Mo again.

“Blood Dragon Power! Blood Dragon Power!”

This was the only thing in Ye Mo’s mind. So long as he could establish a connection with the Blood Dragon Power, even if he was still unable to defeat Cao Zheng, he would at least be able to flee with his comrades. Unfortunately, he still couldn’t establish a connection with his Blood Dragon Power.

The Blood Dragon was the strongest power he had in his body right now. However, he was still incapable of controlling it.

“If you want to kill him, you’ll have to get over my dead body first!” While Cao Zheng was charging towards Ye Mo, Xiao Cao appeared in front Ye Mo with both her arms opened wide.

“Xiao Cao, don’t force me!” Cao Zheng immediately stopped his attack and landed on the ground. Coldly, he spoke, “Xiao Cao, the more you are acting like this, the more I want to kill him.”

“Cao Zheng, he is only a servant of mine. Give me face and let him go,” Xiao Cao said.

“Servant?” Cao Zheng sneered when he heard this. “Interesting. Haha. Truly interesting.”

“Yeah, he has always been my servant. How is it possible for me to be in a relationship with a servant? You are the young master of the Cao Clan, and one of the five geniuses of Heaven’s Wall City. You don’t need to waste your time bickering with a servant,” Xiao Cao continued on.

Ye Mo was clenching his fists so tight, crackling sounds could be heard. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Xiao Cao.

“Shut up. Have you not caused enough troubles at Heaven’s Wall City yet?” Xiao Cao snorted coldly.

Cao Zheng clapped his hands and said, “Xiao Cao, do you know why I like you so much? It’s precisely because of this. Although I know you are putting on a show, I have to admit this is very amusing. However, this still doesn’t change my mind. I still want to kill him. His very existence greatly annoys me. Whenever I think of how he used to be your young master while I had been courting you, I’m filled with rage.”

“He is only a servant. In less than half a year, you will be participating in the league war on behalf of the Cao Clan. After returning victorious, you will be the number one genius of the Tianwu Kingdom. Is there a need to lower yourself and bicker with a servant?” Xiao Cao continued begging for Ye Mo.

“Haha, since you know that I will become the number one genius of the Tianwu Kingdom, you should know of the pride I have. He must die.”

The ground beneath Cao Zheng started cracking. When the onlookers saw this, they sighed. Anyone who provoked a genius like this would not be able to survive. Cao Zheng himself was a genius, his father was the commander of the imperial guards, and not far in the future, Cao Zheng himself would also be the deputy commander of the imperial guards. Offending him was no different than suicide.

“What if I become your wife? If I agree to be your wife, will you let him go?” Xiao Cao asked loudly and bit her lip.

Like a volcano, Ye Mo exploded with rage. Xiao Cao had actually offered herself to save him.

As of this moment, if Ye Mo observed the condition within his body, he would be able to see that the killing intent he had gathered within his body was slowly combining with the Dragon Power within his power. This was something Ye Mo had never expected to happen. He had completely lost his reasoning due to what Xiao Cao said.

“Xiao Cao, no!”

Bang!

A purple lightning shot forth, traveled around Xiao Cao, and blasted Ye Mo away. The purple lightning intruded into his body again. The incomparable pain that resulted from the attack helped Ye Mo to completely calm his mind again.

“You are not qualified to speak here. Xiao Cao, are you truly willing to be my wife? Are you sincere? I am not interested in getting an empty shell as my wife,” Cao Zheng asked with a smile on his face. He withdrew his True Energy.

“Yes,” Xiao Cao answered with a nod.

Cao Zheng laughed heartily, walked forward, and lifted Xiao Cao. She trembled slightly, and a tear drop fall from her eye.

“Xiao Cao, don’t worry. You will never suffer any losses after becoming my woman. I, Cao Zheng, hereby vow that after winning the league war, I will take you as my wife with a glorious wedding ceremony as the number one genius of Tianwu Kingdom.”

“Ye Mo, piss off right now. Get out of the Heaven’s Wall City. I will not be killing any of you today since my fiancée is pleading on behalf of you guys. But now that she is my woman, she has to obey me. From tomorrow onwards, a bounty for all of you will be issued in the entirety of the Tianwu Kingdom. Run, bugs. Run the best you can.”

Then, Cao Zheng left, satisfied, while carrying Xiao Cao.

“Damn it!” Ye Mo yelled and smashed his fist on the ground. “Cao Zheng, wait for me. My revenge will come.”

“Haha. Revenge? Sure. Half a year later, if you are still alive, I might turn the bounty into a wedding invitation instead. After all, you are a servant of my wife.”

Cao Zheng was indifferent to Ye Mo’s threat. Perhaps, Ye Mo had always been nothing for him.
