The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

As Ye Mo followed Tong Yao to the conference hall entrance, he saw that there were four people there – Tong Lan, Elder Tong Shan, the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm Ling Xiao, and a middle-aged man. Based on his attire, he was most likely a member of the Tong Residences.

The four of them sat in the living room, discussing the mirage issue.

“Ling Xiao, this is Elder Tong Shan. He has one foot in the True Energy Realm. This is Zhu Qiang, our guard. His strength is in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm,” Tong Lan sat down as she introduced the two of them to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao put his hands together as he faced the two of them, his appearance extremely wild.

“Turns out Ling Xiao, the talent from the Ling Family, is also able to rank highly in Tiandu City. I heard that your Ling Family has a Ling Xiao Sword Technique, one of a kind. Using this technique, no one under the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm will be a match for you. I’m afraid even our guard Zhu Qiang won’t stand a chance against you.”

Hearing this, a hint of delight flashed across Tong Shan’s face. Evidently, Ling Xiao was no average man.

“You are too kind. I shall be staying with the Tong Family for these few days then. Also, don’t forget about the agreement between us.”

“What agreement do you two have?” Tong Shan’s eyebrows twitched as he questioned him.

“Nothing, really. It’s just that if I successfully help your family take over the Kraken House, Tong Lan will have to marry me,” Ling Xiao said.

Hearing that, Elder Tong Shan and Zhu Qiang’s faces both changed instantly as they stared at Ling Xiao, filled with anger. This Ling Xiao was obviously taking advantage of the situation, knowing that the Tong Family did not possess many powerful fighters. As for this fight for the Kraken House, whichever family clan ended up emerging victorious, the other two families would likely perish.

An additional Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighter at this crucial time could be decisive.

Tong Shan slapped his hand on the table, evidently furious. “Kid, you’re crossing the line.”

“Heh, you have to know that the Tie Family and Mu Family both have a fighter with a foot in the True Energy Realm each, as well as three Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters. Without me, you all will be decimated,” Ling Xiao said mockingly.

“That is still better than letting the Lady marry you. Scram!” Tong Shan roared as he pointed towards the door of the conference hall.

“If you say so,” Ling Xiao said, unimpressed, and stood up slowly. He added, “Don’t regret this.”

“Wait!” A determined voice rose. Tong Lan stood up and said, “Ling Xiao, so long as you can help us Tong Family win the Kraken House, I will agree to your conditions.”

Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed wildly as he prepared to return to his seat. “Hahaha, Tong Lan is indeed someone who sees the bigger picture.”

“I object!” Suddenly, Tong Yao rose to her feet and stood right in front of Ling Xiao as she said with anger, “Don’t be a nuisance.”

Tong Lan immediately reprimanded Tong Yao, “Sister, I don’t believe that we, the Tong Family, can take the Kraken House without his help.”

Tong Yao stared at Ling Xiao viciously, seemingly about to implode at any moment.

“Second Lady Tong, you are still young and ignorant, so I will not argue with you. However, without me, it will be extremely difficult for the Tong Family to snatch the treasure from the Kraken House,” Ling Xiao mocked and smiled.

“Legend has it that the Ling Family’s Ling Xiao Sword Technique is something to behold. However, against me, that remains to be seen.” With his arms across his chest, Ye Mo slowly walked out from the entrance of the conference hall.

“Who are you? Such arrogance!” Ling Xiao stared at Ye Mo as he said, “A mere kid in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm dare speak those words in front of me? How are you related to the Tong Family? Do you think you have the right to witness my Ling Xiao Sword Technique?”

“You must be Ling Xiao. I am also a helper recruited by the Tong Family, and the condition that Tong Lan agreed with me is the same as yours. If the Tong Family successfully wins over the Kraken House, how is she going to marry both of us at the same time?” Ye Mo stared back at him, unbothered, as he smiled calmly.

“Kid, you are asking to die!” Ling Xiao obviously understood Ye Mo’s meaning. With a loud roar, he stared at Ye Mo with eyes of fury. “If you can withstand three moves from me, I will leave the Tong Family right away. If not, you shall scram to somewhere as far as possible.”

With the opponent only in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm, he would not be able to withstand even a single blow, let alone three moves.

Elder Tong Shan immediately spoke, “Ye Xiao, don’t be rash. This man is still a fighter in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. Furthermore, his Ling Xiao Sword Technique is not something that even normal Ninth Realm fighters can withstand.” No matter how overboard Ling Xiao’s actions were or how arrogant he was, his strength was undeniable.

Without waiting for Ye Mo to speak, Tong Yao said, “Ling Xiao, you said it yourself. Three moves. If he can withstand three of your moves, you will have to get out of the Tong Family.”

Having sent Tie Ruyu flying with a single palm strike, he should have no problems handling three attacks from Ling Xiao.

Hearing that, Tong Lan’s beautiful pair of eyes were set on Ye Mo as well. While she had some understanding regarding Ye Mo’s strength, she was not sure about his true power level.

“Fine, three moves it shall be. Kid, follow me out if you dare.”

Saying that, Ling Xiao flung his sleeve and immediately left the conference hall.

“Ye Xiao, all the best!”

Tong Yao gestured to Ye Mo in encouragement as she smiled in delight.

Everyone followed and walked out to the back garden of the Tong Family. Walking towards Ling Xiao, Ye Mo said, “Display your Ling Xiao Sword Technique. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you won’t get the chance to later on.”

Based on his current strength level, he was able to challenge even fighters with a foot in the True Energy Realm. Fighters like Ling Xiao were of little interest to him.

“You don’t have the right to make me display my Ling Xiao Sword Technique.”

A flicked of murderous intent flashed across Ling Xiao’s eyes. Waving his arms, he summoned a sea of flames and generated a huge flame above his head.

“Monstrous Wild Fire!”

Grabbing the flame with a single hand, Ling Xiao’s face was filled with aggression and ruthlessness. With a wave of his arm, he sent the string of giant flame sweeping through the air and towards Ye Mo.

“This move is too weak.”

Ye Mo’s eyebrows twitched. When facing Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters, Ye Mo looked down on them. To him, their techniques and moves posed zero threat.

Only the man that he met outside the Heaven’s Wall City deserved more respect.

The flame was like a giant whip, piercing through the air with a threatening aura. As it struck down on Ye Mo’s head, it formed a vacuum.

Facing such a strong attack, Ye Mo was unmoved. Not a single movement could be detected even in his eyes.

As the flame was about to strike down, Ye Mo reached out a single hand and grabbed the giant flame, much to the shock of everyone in the surrounding.

Whoosh!

The Giant Dragon Powers exploded, causing the ground that Ye Mo was standing on to start cracking. Following that, with a swing of his arm, he sent the giant flame in his hand flying back in Ling Xiao’s direction.

Boom!

The flame was broken down by Ling Xiao. However, Ling Xiao’s facial expression turned extremely sour.

Grabbing his Monstrous Wild Fire with one’s bare hands – it was the first time he had seen anyone do that.
