A tyrannical Devour Power channeled out of Ye Mo’s palm and entered the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Yao Yue could see the pagoda starting to warp and spin like a whirlpool. Huang Shihu, who was trying to break free of the pagoda, suddenly felt a powerful Devour Power tearing his strength from him.
“KId, what have you done to be able to absorb my True Energy?” At first, Huang Shihu looked at Ye Mo with disdain. The disdain was subsequently replaced by astonishment, then uneasiness, and ultimately, it transformed into fear. He could feel that the clone that he had spent several months forming being absorbed by Ye Mo soon.
“Feel free to ask those I have killed when you reach the underworld. They might tell you,” Ye Mo sneered and activated his Rising Dragon Pillar. Then, the clone of Huang Shihu and the pagoda were both devoured by Ye Mo. Nothing except the Bloodlust Meteor Hammer was left on the ground.
With the enrichment of the surging energy, the Dragon Power within Ye Mo awakened again. This time, Ye Mo awakened another 100 streams of Dragon Power.
Although he couldn’t immediately put these newly awakened streams of Dragon Power to use, he only needed to strengthen his Mortal Gate and advance his realm to be able to start using them. The energy within Ye Mo seemed inexhaustible.
“Senior Sister Yao Yue, that Huang Shihu knows that I’ve devoured his close. I will draw him away with his Bloodlust Meteor Hammer. Leave first since you are injured,” Ye Mo solemnly said after picking up the hammer.
All the soldiers in the General Mansion was currently under the control of the Soul Suppression Bone Flute. Now was their best opportunity to flee.
“What? You want to draw that Huang Shihu away? Although he is injured, you are still not his match.”
Yao Yue’s jet-black hair fluttered around her. She was injured, and her usage of the Soul Suppression Bone Flute had further intensified her injury. The dark red trace of blood at the corner of her mouth made her to look weak and frail.
“If we flee together, none of us will be able to escape. Huang Shihu will definitely be furious that I’ve devoured his clone. Therefore, the best course of action is for me to draw him away.” It was at this moment that Yao Yue finally understood something.
This Ye Mo that seemed so uncaring, in fact, cared deeply for her. Again and again, he put himself in danger for her sake. And now, Ye Mo was putting himself in danger for her sake again. At this thought, Yao Yue felt a sense of warmth in her heart and decided that this boy would someday be her significant half.
“But…” Yao Yue couldn’t even finish her sentence before she was interrupted by Ye Mo who flew in a random direction with the hammer.
“I hope you can now stop being the dagger of the Martial Faction. If you believe that I can survive this, please wait for me at the Qingyun League.” With these words, Ye Mo vanished.
Carrying the Bloodlust Meteor Hammer, he fled far away from Yao Yue. As he expected, Huang Shihu pursued him at a speed much faster than Ye Mo’s speed.
Ye Mo was the one who had injured him, devoured his clone, and snatched his Bloodlust Meteor Hammer. The only way to vent his fury was by killing Ye Mo. Two silhouettes streaked through the air, one black and one red. It was late at night, and the moon shone brightly.
Swish!
A black silhouette flew past the city wall, yet the warriors stationed at the city wall did not even notice a thing. The only thing they felt was a breeze brushing past them.
Swish!
This time, a red silhouette streaked past them. Now, the two silhouettes were outside the Heaven’s Wall City.
“You brat. After injuring me, devouring my energy clone, and stealing my Bloodlust Meteor Hammer, where are you trying to run?”
“This Huang Shihu is indeed very fast!”
Ye Mo cursed and tossed the hammer towards the incoming blood pearl attacks. After blocking the attacks, he sped up and shot towards a different direction with a flap of his wings.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Suddenly, a blood red energy barrier descended and blocked Ye Mo’s path of escape, forcing Ye Mo to stop.
Although he could devour this energy barrier if he wanted to, Huang Shihu would be able to kill him before he could even finish devouring it.
“Kid, I never kill people whose name I don’t know. Tell me your name!” Huang Shihu coldly said after arriving behind Ye Mo.
“Ye Mo!” Ye Mo answered, his wings still flapping in the air.
At this point, he no longer planned to continue fleeing. The enemy was already seriously injured. Perhaps he stood a chance of survival if he tried fighting with his life on the line.
“Ye Mo?” Huang Shihu asked doubtfully, “You are the Ye Mo being hunted by the imperial guards? What do you have on you that is capable of devouring my energy clone? Perhaps you have a Bejeweled Weapon on you?”
Swish!
Ye Mo did not bother speaking. He stabbed out with his Dragon Spear after activating the Dragon Power and Purple Flame Spirit Qi within his body. A massive spear light shot out.
Huang Shihu’s eyes flashed as he sensed the prowess of this stab. He immediately placed both his arms on his chest. The spear light landed on him, pushing him several yards backwards.
“Damn it, he wouldn’t be able to push me if I weren’t injured!” Huang Shihu howled and pounced on Ye Mo. He waved his arms without stop, creating two streams of blood red radiance that fluttered about in the air like an eagle hunting its prey.
“Witness my dragon energy shaping!” Ye Mo shook his body. The Dragon Power within his body started pouring out. Numerous streams of Dragon Power converged midair before forming a black dragon of about 90 feet in length. The huge dragon coiled itself in the air, blocking even the moonlight from the sky.
The dragon brought along the powers of terror, destruction, slaughter, and desolation, as if it was truly a primordial beast. Its appearance greatly shocked Huang Shihu.
Stepping on the head of the dragon and wielding his spear, Ye Mo yelled, “Come!”
“Energy shaping dragon? Hmph! Witness how this general slays a dragon!” Huang Shihu snorted. Then, the Bloodlust Meteor Hammer in his hand started emanating an astonishing power. For the first time, he displayed the true power of the Bloodlust Meteor Hammer.
Holding the hammer with both his hands, he started spinning in the air. His speed increased, turning his body into a blood red hurricane. Finally, the blood red hurricane charged at Ye Mo.
“Meteor Hurricane!” Watching the incoming blood red hurricane, Ye Mo’s blood started boiling. He controlled the energy dragon. It roared repeatedly before colliding against the hurricane.
Kill!
Bang!
The blood red hurricane crashed with the huge dragon, creating a rumbling sound as they collided. The air around them warped while, below them, mountains collapsed, trees snapped, and leaves flew everywhere. Next, a huge black silhouette fell down from the sky. It was Ye Mo. He had suffered defeat in the collision.
“Die!”
Huang Shihu wasn’t any better off. The energy armor on his body was completely battered. His eyes cold, he had no intention of sparing Ye Mo. He pounced at the falling Ye Mo and landed a fist on Ye Mo’s back.
Bang!
Like an artillery shell, Ye Mo shot straight towards the ground and crashed heavily on it, creating a huge crater on the ground. Then, Huang Shihu landed and stepped on Ye Mo’s head before he said, “This is your defeat. You are as good as the girl that had tried to assassinate me, but unfortunately, your cultivation level is too low. An Energy Shaping Realm warrior will never be able to defeat a True Energy Realm warrior.”
“This is bad!”
As Huang Shihu stepped on his head, an ominous feeling rose in Ye Mo’s heart when he felt that he could no longer move. Even Ling’er could feel that things were becoming extremely hopeless.
“Now, I will kill you.” Huang Shihu gave Ye Mo no chance. He immediately lifted his foot and stomped down, attempting to squash Ye Mo’s head then and there.
