“Just him? He is worthy of being our captain? Senior Ying, is there a mistake somewhere? Even if he is a Qingyun League member, his cultivation level is only Energy Shaping Fifth Realm. He hasn’t even reached the level to form his wings. How can he even face our enemies? The moment he encounters a warrior of Energy Shaping Sixth Realm or above, he will be completely helpless. How can this person be our captain?” Then, the man in gray armor formed a spear in his hand.
Hum!
Around the spear, layers of undulating energy appeared. Then, he stabbed at Ye Mo. Instantly, his attack pierced through the air and reached Ye Mo. This was a fatal attack.
He wanted to test Ye Mo’s strength, yet his attack was too powerfuless. In an extremely practiced manner, his attack landed on Ye Mo. It embodied an aura of desolation and bloodlust. Evidently, this person was a bandit who made a living robbing and killing.
“Spear Aura, Brutal Rob.”
Many people were astonished and they started speaking among themselves.
“He has actually used an aura. This is a fatal technique that very few people can learn. The Brutal Rob Aura is rumored to be an aura that only someone who spends a lot of time killing and robbing can master. With this technique, he will be able to instantly kill an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior. This guy is actually aiming to kill this freshly appointed captain.”
“This person has always lived without inhibitions. How will he be able to accept being under the command of this Qingyun League member? In any case, this league member is so weak. How could he be willing accept this league member as a captain?”
“Haha, even if he managed to kill the league member, I will still fight him. It won’t be that easy to get the captain position.”
“Brutal Rob Aura? An attack at this level is qualified to be called an aura? My state of mind isn’t even affected.”
The brutal attack landed on Ye Mo, yet it failed to even damage Ye Mo’s clothes. The attack dissolved before Ye Mo reached out. His palm transformed into a huge black dragon claw and slammed towards the gray-armored guy.
Bang!
The violent attack slammed the gray-armored guy and sent him flying away before crashing onto the wall. Cracks began to appear on the wall.
This grey-armored guy that looked so very mighty before was sent flying with a single slap. He began coughing out blood without stopping while in midair.
Nobody dared to believe their eyes. Ye Mo attacked so quickly that only a few Energy Shaping Eight Realm warriors could clearly see what happened. When the grey-armored guy attacked Ye Mo, Ye Mo did nothing to defend himself. He did not even bother releasing his Yuanli.
How terrifying was his defense to be capable of this feat?
“You are not worthy of challenging a Qingyun League member.” Ye Mo then withdrew his Dragon Power, his body transforming back into the previous ordinary state. He continued speaking, “With your puny strength, you dare challenge me? I am going to assume the captain position. Anyone with any doubts about my strength is free to challenge me.” Although Ye Mo was only at Energy Shaping Fifth Realm, the lowest level among the many warriors here, he shocked everyone the moment he made a move.
Among these warriors, some were free warriors that did not belong to any organization while some were warriors from impoverished families and had always looked down on the Qingyun League members.
The Qingyun League had an outstanding cultivation environment, and those who could enter were normally the children of influential families and clans. These impoverished warriors who were at the bottom of the society had always felt that life was unfair.
Yet when Ye Mo attacked, he immediately impressed everyone. With his level of Energy Shaping Fifth Realm, he defeated an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior with one move.
“B*stard!” The armored guy stood up, his mouth filled with blood. With bloodshot eyes, he said, “Qingyun League members are indeed quite strong. I had merely been careless. I will teach you that you are still not qualified to be our captain.”
He waved his spear around and, immediately, layers of energy waves appeared in the air. It was as if he had created a summoning formation as numerous spears appeared from the sky. Each of the spears was radiating a berserk aura.
“Die! Forest of Spears!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several dozen spears rained down upon Ye Mo while creating streams of air around them, as if they were going to turn Ye Mo into mincemeat the next moment.
“I heard this is a Low Grade Mortal Level martial technique. When attacking with this technique, even an army will die. Each of the spears raining down is extremely powerful, comparable to a Magic Weapon. Even Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warriors can’t take it head on. Unfortunately, there are too many spears to dodge.”
“He must be furious after being slapped away by Ye Mo. This time, he is definitely attacking with an intent to kill.”
“His previous attack must be a probing attack. This time, he is definitely not pulling any punches.”
“Die!”
Countless spears flew at Ye Mo while the armored guy also grabbed one of the spears and stabbed towards Ye Mo. The momentum of his attack caused the air around him to warp.
His entire offensive was aimed at Ye Mo; the str ike wasfatal. He was aiming to kill Ye Mo and wash off the humiliation subjected on him.
Senior Ying was the only one who did not have a change of expression. Although he was unsure of whether Ye Mo could survive this attack, he was of the opinion that if a person who had promised to protect the young lady couldn’t even survive this attack, they had no business making any promises.
Clanging sounds rang out as countless spears stabbed at Ye Mo. He stood there unmoving, yet it was as if the spears had all stabbed an iron bastion as they all immediately bounced off after hitting Ye Mo.
Looking at the guy who was charging at him, Ye Mo grabbed at the spear. His palm collided with the spear and blocked its advance. The incomparably sharp spear was only able to pierce through the skin of Ye Mo’s palm but was incapable of going in any deeper.
“How is that possible? Ye Mo had actually taken on the attack of a Magic Weapon with his flesh? How strong is the defense of his flesh? He is only an Energy Shaping Fifth Realm warrior!” shouted one of the warriors there.
“Yeah. Had he trained himself in some cultivation method capable of strengthening his body? Otherwise, how can he has such a terrifying defense?”
While everyone was still in shock, Ye Mo shook his palm while still grabbing onto the other guy’s palm. His internal energy lashed out and spread into the armored guy’s body.
The armored guy immediately let go of his spear and was sent into retreat by a shake of Ye Mo’s hand. He stared at Ye Mo in disbelief.
“How is this possible?” he howled and just as he wanted to attack again, a black dragon pounced on him. With a howl, the dragon wrapped itself around him.
“Ye Mo, let go of me. I am dueling you!” yelled the armored guy.
“Just say it if you want to die. I alone can defeat a thousand of people like you.” Ye Mo looked at him with disdain and continued, “Everyone, since this person refuses to acknowledge my position, I am kicking him out of the escort party. If anyone is not satisfied with that or doubts my strength as a captain, you are still free to come at me.”
“Haha, a person who disobeys the captain naturally has to be kicked out of the party. A Qingyun League member is indeed not simple. Alright, I’ll accept you as the captain,” a lazy voice spoke.
Ye Mo looked over and found that it was a youth that was a few years older than him. This youth had a rather powerful aura around his body as well. He was at least an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior, even stronger than the gray-armored guy.
“I’m acknowledging this captain as well.” One by one, the young warriors stood up and voiced their approval. As for the older warriors who had reached Energy Shaping Eight Realm, they remained silent, yet in a way, they had also tacitly agreed to Ye Mo being the captain.
“Good. Since that is the case, let us prepare to set off. The moment the caravans finish their preparations, we will set off to the capital, Heaven’s Wall City.”
Ye Mo’s valiant strength had established himself as the captain. This was mostly due to the defense of his flesh. His defense was capable of astonishing even some Energy Shaping Eight Realm warriors.
