Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Qingyun League members grew excited at Ye Mo’s victory. Xiao Yuanshan and the others’ faces filled with smiles.

Ye Mo, you’ve come so far, Qi Ying sighed inwardly, Have you done all this for me? Even at the risk of being killed by the Cao father and son?

“I reckon Ye Mo hasn’t even revealed his full strength. His strength is too terrifying.” While everyone was still shocked at Ye Mo’s victory, the second match arrived.

Both Cao Zheng and Zhao Huan were beginner-stage Heaven’s Gate Realm warriors. They exchanged about a dozen blows, with Zhao Huan wielding the Firedragon Saber, unleashing terrifying attacks sufficient to cleave a mountain in two.

Cao Zheng faced all the attacks with a smile on his face. He was able to receive each of the attacks with ease.

And after about a dozen exchanges, the disparity between the two was already clear. Zhao Huan was clearly weaker than Cao Zheng.

Towards the end, Zhao Huan had one of her arms severed by Cao Zheng in a moment of carelessness.

“Cao Zheng is very powerful as well. He doesn’t look like he’s shown his full strength either.”

“He’s got two weapons on his back, but he hasn’t used the second one yet.”

With Zhao Huan’s defeat, only Ye Mo and Cao Zheng were left on the Qingyun Martial Field. They faced each other while the competition prizes hovered in the air above them.

Ye Mo gazed at Cao Zheng, growing angry. Even with Cao Zhengchun watching over them, he planned to kill Cao Zheng with a single hit. Based on the rules, there would be no consequences to accidental deaths during the league war. Ye Mo couldn’t forget everything Cao Zheng had done to him in the past.

Cao Zheng looked completely confident. Despite Ye Mo’s outstanding performance, he still looked at Ye Mo with disdain. He looked at Ye Mo toyingly, as if he had everything under his control.

“I can’t believe you defeated the other two kingdom representatives,” Cao Zheng said. “I never expected you to make it this far. But since I’m your opponent, death is your only option.”

“Do you think you can kill me?” Ye Mo tightened his grip on the Sky Blood Spear and said coldly, “Today, I will wash off the insult you gave me at the Heaven’s Wall City.”

“Wash off the insult? That will never happen.” Cao Zheng raised his brow and smiled. “Even if you’ve defeated both the princess and Chu Ge, there is still a big gap between us. You can’t hope to contend against the marital techniques of the Cao Clan.”

“The martial techniques of Cao Clan?” Ye Mo laughed disdainfully. “The King’s Qi couldn’t do anything to me. Do you think your clan’s third-rate cultivation method can defeat me?”

No cultivation method could compare to the Rising Dragon Pillar. The Bright Dragon Power that had been awakened from the Rising Dragon Pillar was a divine power that surpassed everything. How could any cultivation method of the secular world hope tp match it? Comparing the two was just an insult to the Rising Dragon Pillar.

“Ye Mo, my initial plan was to kill you in front of everyone, to show them that the leagues’ so-called chief elects are nothing before me.” Cao Zheng smiled. “But I’ve changed my mind. I think you deserve more insult and I’m not done with you yet. You care about Xiao Cao a lot, right? After I cripple you, I will bring you to the Cao’s Mansion. On my wedding night with Xiao Cao, I’ll make you bear witness as I ravage Xiao Cao’s body. I’ll let you taste despair. That will be much more enjoyable than killing you.”

“I’ll kill you!” Ye Mo raged. The Sky Blood Spear on his hand shone brightly as he charged Cao Zheng.

The spear was aimed straight at Cao Zheng’s throat, but Cao Zheng’s smug smiled didn’t slip. Seeing the incoming spear, he waved his Violet Lightning Sword and summoned a massive bolt of violet lightning from the sky. The lightning bolt blasted the Sky Blood Spear, sending Ye Mo into retreat.

“I told you. You’re not my match. Since you are in such a rush to end this, let me give you a hand!” Cao Zheng said. He channeled his energy into the sword. The sword shone brightly with a violet radiance. Electricity crackled on the sword and turned into a huge roaring lion.

“Furious Lightning Lion!”

The lion charged Ye Mo, space itself cracking open in its wake.

Ye Mo stood still, the Sky Blood Spear in his hands started vibrating rapidly while the Blood Qi gathered around him.

Ye Mo stabbed with the spear, and at the same moment, he fused the Will of Slaughter and Will of Assassination, creating a perfect symphony of killing.

Immediately, the symphony of killing rang in the air around Cao Zheng. The symphony was the cry of death itself, the unresigned howling of the evil spirits from hell.

Scenes of death appeared, weakening the lightning lion. Then, the Sky Blood Spear landed on the lightning lion, making it explode, sending crackling electricity everywhere.

“Heavy Lightning!” Cao Zheng’s face finally lost it’s smug expression when he saw his lightning lion ineffective against Ye Mo. Now he glared at Ye Mo. With the wills Ye Mo had shown, he no longer dared to be careless.

He pointed his sword at Ye Mo. The dispersed lightning around him turned into several lightning bolts, each as thick as an arm, that shot straight at Ye Mo.

“Howl!”

Ye Mo retreated about 30 meters. After gaining a sufficient distance, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his dimensional bracelet.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, a black flame appeared on the talisman paper. It warped and turned into a black specter before leaping out.

The specter was quite large, its body nearly three meters tall. It wielded a black chain, and its head was comprised of a clump of black flame.

The sky darkened when Ye Mo used the talisman paper.

“Dark Specter!” Ye Mo yelled and poured his Bright Dragon Power into the talisman paper. The specter brandished its black chain menacingly.

This was a third-order offensive seal Ye Mo had refined after he reached True Energy Realm, the Dark Specter Seal.

The countless lightning bolts headed towards the Dark Specter and they were all absorbed by the black chain the Dark Specter was waving around.

Even Cao Zheng was shocked when he saw it. He roared and opened his palm, creating a massive lightning sword from the remaining lightning in the air and throwing it at the Dark Specter.

Bang!

As everyone watched, the massive sword landed on the Dark Specter’s head.

Everyone was shocked when the attack landed. The Dark Specter wasn’t sliced in two. It let off a tiny wail. Then, cracks appeared on its body before it shattered. The sword on the air shattered as well.

Rumble!

The aftershock of the collision spread, filling the battleground with dust.

Both combatants had to retreat several steps backward before they could regain their footings.

“Seal?” Cao Zheng had a sinister look as he said coldly, “You must have used a third-order seal. But you can’t have much energy left, right? Well, let’s end this then.” Cao Zheng took out the other weapon on his back.

The crowd gasped in unison as they realized Cao Zheng was finally using his full strength.
