The Thunderous Hammer destroyed all five stages in one hit as everyone stared at Man Qi in shock. It was a technique of pure destruction.
“Ye Mo should have turned to dust by now!” Man Weiwu laughed as smiles appeared on the faces of his warriors. The only fate that awaited any person who opposed the Barbarians was death.
Warriors from the Xiao Clan had heavy expressions on their faces, especially Madame Xiao, who frowned.
“Yuanshan, how is Ye Mo?” Madame Xiao asked.
“I’m not sure, but I can still feel him. He should be all right.” Yet, in truth, Xiao Yuanshan wasn’t 100% sure. Only when he’d reached the Heaven’s Gate Realm could he spread his conscious into the True Energy and detect everything around them without solely relying on his eyes.
“Witnesses! This is the difference between Energy Shaping Realm and Spirit Cultivating Realm!” Man Qi laughed as he scanned the huge pit that had formed where Ye Mo was standing. “You are still miles away from being able to challenge me! I’m only 18, and I’ve already managed to advance to the Energy Shaping Realm. I’ll definitely advance to the True Energy Realm before I turn 30! Me marrying Xiao Yue is us giving our respect to the Xiao Clan!”
Man Qi turned his head and said to Qing Hai, “City Lord, please declare my victory!”
“You view yourself too highly!” Ye Mo jumped out of the pit and shouted. “What a weak technique! If this is all you’ve got, you should just give up while you can!”
Even though Ye Mo had survived the attack, he had still been hurt by it. His shirt had torn while his body was slightly burned.
Yet his energy still brimmed with great vitality.
The crowd all looked at Ye Mo in awe, especially Ye Changsheng whose face had previously looked dark. Even he couldn’t help but shake at the sight of Man Qi’s Barbarian God Descend. There was definitely no way that he could have withstood it, yet Ye Mo took it head on and came out barely harmed. He gripped his hand tightly as he realized that the difference between him and Ye Mo had yet again increased. Only this time, Ye Mo was the stronger one.
“Wonderful!” Xiao Yuanshan shouted as he could tell Ye Mo had only suffered a few minor injuries.
“That kid must die!” the Barbarian’s High Priest said. Ye Mo was already demonstrating strength almost equal to an Energy Shaping Realm warrior. His talent was scary enough that even the High Priest thought of taking care of Ye Mo himself. If Ye Mo was left to continue to grow, there was the great possibility that he could break through to the Energy Shaping Realm before the age of 18.
“Impossible!” Man Qi gasped as Ye Mo jumped out from the pit. But the awe turned into excitement shortly afterwards.
The stronger Ye Mo was, the stronger the treasure was that Ye Mo held. If Man Qi could kill Ye Mo, he could definitely get his hands on the treasure.
“Time to end this!” Man Qi shouted as his energy swarmed like a typhoon. The ground shook as the debris began to float mid-air. It was a sign that a powerful martial technique was about to be evoked.
“I summon thee, the mount of the Barbarian God, the Granite Dragon!” Man Qi roared as his energy formed a vortex and absorbed all the debris. After a few seconds, a huge Granite Dragon emerged from the vortex. Its head peeked out from the hole followed by the rest of its body. It was made purely out of granite. As it emerged, it roared as if everything before it were obstacles in its way.
“Behold, our most powerful martial technique that summons the mount of the Barbarian God!” Man Qi shouted at Ye Mo as his eyes flashed with murderous intent. “The mighty Granite Dragon that holds a hint of Dragon Source in its head, proof that it is a real dragon! Let’s see how you get away from this one!”
The 33 feet long dragon began to charge towards Ye Mo.
Ye Mo could feel an immense amount of pressure raging towards him, as if the Granite Dragon represented a descent of the Dragon God, even more intimidating than the descent of the Thunder God. It was most likely the most powerful technique that Man Qi could produce.
Ye Mo took out a charm that contained Frost Storm. He held the Formation-Breaking Spear with both of his hand as he willed 29 Dragon Energies to the Heavenly Frost Charm, five from his Energy Center, 12 from his right hand’s Mortal Gate, and the other 12 from his mind’s Mortal Gate.
The Dragon Energies helped to intensify the power of the charm to its maximum level.
“I’ll freeze the dragon in front of your eyes!” Ye Mo roared as the Heavenly Frost Charm shot towards the dragon, leaving a blue trail behind. As soon as the charm left Ye Mo’s hand, fog began to form in the area around them.
The charm expanded as cold air covered the whole 300 feet radius, trapping both the Granite Dragon and Man Qi within. Tornados made out of freezing cold air appeared in the area and they raged towards them.
The sudden change in temperature shocked the whole crowd. Even warriors who stood outside the radius could feel the cold air coming from within as they began to wonder what was happening at the center of the clearing.
Icicles began to form on the surface of the dragon as the fog covered it, making it look more like an Ice Dragon than a Granite Dragon. The dragon’s movement began to slow down as Man Qi could feel his body tremble from the cold as if he was being pierced by countless needles that were made from ice. His blood began to freeze as his body became harder to move.
“Now’s my chance!” Ye Mo shouted as all 24 Dragon Energies on both of his legs’ Mortal Gates flowed into the Formation-Breaking Spear. Energy began to surround the spear, forming a dark dragon on top of it. Ye Mo focused on the Will of the Sky Blood Spear as Evil Energy began to surge into the spear as well.
Even if icicles had formed outside the dragon, it was still moving towards Ye Mo, only at a slower speed now.
Just as the dragon was about to hit Ye Mo, Ye Mo thrust his spear towards Man Qi’s Energy Center, leaving a trail of darkness as the spear inched forward.
It had already taken all of Man Qi’s energy to stay conscious through the freezing temperature. He had no energy left to evade the incoming attack. Before he realized it, the spear had impaled itself into his Energy Center.
The spear left a hole in Man Qi’s midriff. Blood spewed out from the hole and was instantly frozen by the glacial air. As the person who had summoned it died, the Granite Dragon began to crumble as well.
The crowd was already speechless. The supposedly one-sided match was overturned by a single charm, and with it, Ye Mo was able to kill Man Qi. An Energy Shaping First Realm warrior had died at the hands of a Spirit Cultivating Fifth Realm warrior.
