Everyone watching had faces filled with shock.
As for the Tong Family sisters, their eyes sparkled as they watched Ye Mo.
Evidently, even they did not expect Ye Mo to be so powerful.
“Since you want to die, I shall fulfill your wish. Ling Xiao Sword Technique!”
Having his huge attack stopped by Ye Mo’s bare hands and sent back flying towards him made Ling Xiao furious. A wave of anger poured out from his heart. “The Ling Xiao Sword Technique is a generational technique of the Ling Family. Many Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters have lost their lives to this attack. If you want to steal my woman, death is the only outcome for you.”
Clang!
The fiery red long sword in his hand started to awaken like a fire snake dancing around uncontrollably. It glowed continuously, forming an enclosed space. Enshrouded in the space, which was filled with flame rays, a light blade shot out, zooming out in a straight line.
“Ling Xiao Sword Technique!”
This was the Ling Family’s sword technique, a mortal level fire elemental technique. Using flame rays to form an enclosed area and incorporating the light blade within it, when the technique was used, it carried an all-encompassing aura.
A sword attack capable of destroying everything in its way!
The giant flame which had yet to dissipate was the first to be destroyed. The snake-like fire light blade streaked forward, threatening to pierce a hole through Ye Mo’s heart.
“Ling Xiao Sword Technique, interesting indeed.”
Inside, Ye Mo was slightly shocked. The Ling Xiao Sword Technique being unleashed immediately gave him a feeling of having nowhere to run. One would definitely be trapped if they were struck by the light blade.
Ye Mo sent a palm strike towards the light blade. As the light blade landed on his body, it did not cause any harm to him.
However, the Ling Xiao sword aura was at an unbelievably high level as it invaded Ye Mo’s body.
“Die, kid!”
Ling Xiao let out an explosive roar, further strengthening the force of the Ling Xiao Sword Technique. The surrounding crowd could see that there was already a cage generated by light blades engulfing Ye Mo. Even the area above his head was sealed off.
Countless light blades flew around within the cage in no particular pattern or order, like a slaughterhouse readying for a massacre.
“This is the Ling Xiao Sword Technique? How powerful!”
Watching on, Tong Yao’s face suddenly turned pale. She was going to be filled with guilt if Ye Mo ended up losing his life because of this.
A similar distraught expression could be seen flashing across Tong Lan’s face as well.
“Kid, I don’t care how strong you are. If you get trapped by the Ling Xiao Sword Technique, you are doomed to be murdered by the endless amount of sword aura. This is where you die.”
Ling Xiao’s words were filled with sarcasm, his eyes filled with arrogance.
“This Ling Xiao Sword Technique is decent enough to help me scratch my itch.”
Boom!
Ye Mo’s body trembled as all of the Ling Xiao Sword Aura disappeared into nothingness. A huge wave of Giant Dragon Power rushed out from his body, and in an instant, the cage formed by the light blades that was entrapping him vanished.
Ye Mo took a step forward and reached out with his fingers, tightly closing them in a fist.
The sword stabbing into his hand instantly disintegrated, forming pieces of sharp shards.
Failing to defend himself in time, Ling Xiao took a direct punch from Ye Mo, and his body was sent flying backwards.
“This is my second move, and my third!”
Ye Mo stepped in the air, a giant dragon spear forming in his hand. Stabbing towards Ling Xiao with a light blade that was three times larger and the spear carrying a murderous, destructive aura, the whole area was filled with an atmosphere of slaughter.
Boom!
The light blade descended upon Ling Xiao as his pupils dilated slowly. His clothes were the first to be destroyed, before the light blade hit his body.
Bang!
A huge hole formed in the ground, and after all the dust and debris had cleared, one could see Ling Xiao, completely naked, lying deep inside the hole. He was writhing in pain, with his body covered with blood stains and injuries.
This huge development attracted the attention of plenty of Tong Clan members, who thoroughly enjoyed seeing Ling Xiao’s demise.
In their hearts, Lady Tong was not something he could lust over.
“I also displayed three moves, but he is too weak.” Ye Mo smiled slightly as he retracted his dragon spear.
The three moves that Ye Mo spoke about was, in reality, only one move. The previous two moves were purely defending against the opponent’s attack.
“Urgh.”
This scene was earth-shattering. An Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighter like Ling Xiao, displaying the Ling Xiao Sword Technique, could not even handle a single attack from his opponent.
At that instant, Tong Yao and Tong Lan were both greatly taken by surprise as well and waves of emotion poured out from their hearts.
This seemingly average teenager before their eyes was frighteningly strong. Was he really an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter?
Ye Mo smiled as he said, “Lady Tong, allow me to fight for the Kraken House.” Having already been forced to lend a helping hand, he had no other choice.
“Haha, with an elite fighter like Ye Xiao helping us, the Tong Family will definitely be able to win the fight for the Kraken House.”
Elder Tong Shan laughed wildly for a moment before waving his hand, signaling for the Tong Family disciples to bring Ling Xiao away.
“We shall trouble you then, Master Ye.”
Tong Lan bowed slightly with a smile on her face.
Late into the night, Ye Mo, with eyes slightly closed, was in the middle of recalling the Ling Xiao Sword Technique. Ye Mo always did some reflection after every battle.
While Ling Xiao was not as strong as him, the Ling Xiao Sword Technique was a formidable move. With the myriad of sword techniques available, it would be extremely beneficial for one to master one of two of the techniques.
Fighters in the same rank might still have huge differences amongst themselves due to their differing sense of perception.
This was also the reason why the Emperor would disguise his identity and train in the out in the open. He would come into contact with fellow fighters and strengthen his own will.
Knock, knock, knock!
Ye Mo heard someone knocking on his door, awakening him from his state of perception.
Ye Mo frowned. Who would be visiting him this late at night? Unless it was that Tong Yao girl again?
“Master Ye Xiao, may I come in?” Tong Lan’s voice could be heard from outside his room.
“Please come in, Lady Tong.”
Ye Mo was somewhat puzzled, hearing Tong Lan coming to find him this late at night.
With a creaking sound, the door opened, revealing an attractive silhouette. Under the gentle moonlight, Tong Lan took a few delicate steps as she entered the room.
“Lady Tong Lan, what are you finding me for at such a late hour?”
Ye Mo did not open his eyes all the way, which were still slightly shut. Absorbing the energy from nature and the earth, he channeled his Energy Center as he prepared to make the stride towards Energy Shaping Eighth Realm.
“What happened today is all thanks to you.” Tong Lan even dressed up more exquisitely than usual. Seeing Ye Mo not even opening his eyes, her heart felt a strange feeling of disappointment.
“Lady Tong, you’re welcome. I saw you having a big fight with Elder Tong Shan over that century-old Pearl Pill. Hence, I will definitely help the Tong Family and do my best to retrieve the treasure in Kraken House.”
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Ye Mo’s mouth as he said, “If there is nothing else, you may take your leave.”
“Master Ye Xiao, this battle for the Kraken House is filled with dangers. If anything happens to me, I hope you will take good care of my sister.”
After Tong Lan finished talking, Ye Mo heard the sound of clothes dropping to the floor. Ye Mo was aware and knew what was going on.
“Lady Tong, you don’t have to do this. I know you are willing to give up everything for the Tong Family to restore its glory. However, don’t think of me as the same type of man as Ling Xiao. Furthermore, I already have an ideal woman that I like in mind. Also, so long as I’m here, you will definitely not die,” Ye Mo said calmly.
“Am I really that unattractive?”
Hearing that, a hint of disappointment flashed across Tong Lan’s heart. Following that, she started to gain interest in knowing about the girl that Ye Mo liked. A woman able to attract Ye Mo’s interest – what was she like?
