“Xuan Ji, what did you say? You want me to take a punch from you?” Ye Mo was enraged when he heard that. This Xuan Ji was clearly not intending to spare him.
“Xuan Ji, as a Spirit Devour Realm martial artist, you are telling a warrior that is not even in the True Energy Realm to take a punch from you? How vile can you be?” Yun Tianxie was furious as well.
“Xuan Ji, don’t push our hands. If I join hands with Senior Brother Yun, we might not lose to you.” Feng Qingyang stared at Xuan Ji gloomily. A punch from someone in the Spirit Devour Realm was sufficient to blast even someone in the Energy Burst Realm to death. Even if Ye Mo was a genius, he would never be able to survive her punch. This Xuan Ji clearly intended for Ye Mo to die.
Ye Mo calmed himself and spoke plainly, “Master, Martial Uncle Yun, don’t do anything. I might not be able to survive today after all. I can receive this punch. But before that, I have something to say.”
At this point, anger was pointless.
“What do you want to say? Consider it your last words,” Xuan Ji said.
“I, Ye Mo, am the actual son of Ye Qing,” Ye Mo declared, his eyes fixed on Xuan Ji. However, Xuan Ji’s eyes were still as emotionless as ever. This caused Ye Mo to doubt if all his guesses had been wrong.
“Oh? So what? Is that all you wanted to say?” Xuan Ji sneered.
“Heh, this Ye Mo sure has a lot to say before his death. I reckon Master Xuan Ji can kill him with a single punch.” Yun He laughed happily as he looked at Ye Mo. Ye Mo was the one who had killed his disciple. He naturally wanted Ye Mo dead.
Seeing how his final trace of hope had been extinguished, a trace of resoluteness surfaced in Ye Mo’s eyes. “I hope you can help protect the Xiao Clan. In any case, I have always been curious as to how strong a Spirit Devour Realm powerhouse is. Bring it on!” Ye Mo howled and shook his body, completely unleashing the Dragon Power within his body. Roars of dragon erupted from his body while his large wings wrapped around his entire body.
This time, Ye Mo used all three layers of defenses he had: Dragon Power, Dragon Armor, and the Dragon Blood Defense. The combination of all three of them was the strongest defense Ye Mo could muster at that moment.
“Bring it on!” Ye Mo howled.
“You’re brave.” A golden silhouette appeared before Ye Mo. Xuan Ji appeared and with a casual punch from her, all of Ye Mo’s defenses crumbled.
The dragon wings and the Dragon Armor were reduced to nothing. The force of the incoming punch was so powerful Ye Mo couldn’t even keep his eyes open while his hair whipped madly behind him.
“How powerful! I’m dead for sure!” For the first time in his life, Ye Mo experienced the strength of a Spirit Devour Realm powerhouse. A casual punch had such a terrifying might behind it. If this punch had landed on his head, death would have been certain.
However, just as Ye Mo believed that death was certain, he felt a cool sensation on his forehead. He opened his eyes and found that Xuan Ji had already lowered her body and planted a kiss on his forehead.
Ye Mo was instantly dumbstruck. Everyone else was dumbstruck as well. Xuan Ji had just tried to kill Ye Mo, but she was suddenly kissing his forehead.
“Mo’er, your aunt loves you very much!” Xuan Ji raised her head again and as she gazed at Ye Mo, an enchanting smile formed on her face.
“Aunt? You found out the truth?” Ye Mo’s eyes were instantly filled with tears as he felt his throat going hoarse.
“Yes. Mo’er, Ye Changsheng has your father’s Dimensional Bracelet. That is something I gave your father. Because of that, I have always thought that he was you. These days, I have been helping him make your life difficult. I even tried to kill you,” Xuan Ji explained, her face filled with remorse.
“There is no need to feel remorse, aunt. I know that you have always loved Ye Qing’s son. Now, Ye Qing’s son has returned,” Ye Mo said.
Xuan Ji couldn’t be blamed for all this.
“Don’t worry, Ye Mo. I will compensate you. I will go kill Ye Changsheng right this moment. Alas, I had wasted a Hellfire Pearl on him,” Xuan Ji spoke, the two golden phoenixes appearing in her pupils again.
“Aunt, that Ye Changsheng has been trying everything he can to kill me so he can snatch the glory belonging to me. Now, I need to personally kill him to relieve the hatred in my heart. That is the only way to get rid of the karmic hindrance in my path of cultivation,” Ye Mo said.
“But I have regrown his arm. Moreover, I have also helped him grow stronger. I’m afraid you are no longer his match now,” Xuan Ji said anxiously.
“Don’t worry, aunt. I have gone through the baptism of the Five Punishments Tower. My strength is far greater than it had been previously. So long as Ye Changsheng has not reached True Energy Realm, I will definitely be able to kill him.”
Ye Mo sensed that Xuan Ji was still anxious. He continued, “No matter how strong Ye Changsheng is, he is a schemer. Scheming is never the true path. As a cultivator, one should always have a clear and righteous heart.”
“Haha, this is how Ye Qing’s son should be. Although I have already helped Ye Changsheng reach pseudo True Energy Realm, as far as I am concerned, he is incomparable to you in both strength and temperament. Now, let me bring you to Limestone City. I will be watching from the shadows,” Xuan Ji said before she grabbed on Ye Mo’s shoulder and dashed away.
“This… what just happened?” Yun Tianxie raised his eyebrows and asked in astonishment.
A few minutes ago, Xuan Ji was still trying to kill Ye Mo. A moment later, she kissed him and they were both chatting amicably up in the air. And just now, she left with Ye Mo.
“Haha, I know what’s going on. I know. Let’s go.” Feng Qingyang stroked his beard and swaggered away.
Yun Tianxie was completely confused but still decided to leave with Feng Qingyang. Xuan Ji moved at a terrifying speed, a speed far above Liu Qingcheng. Back when Liu Qingcheng traveled with Ye Mo, he had been needing to create an energy barrier around Ye Mo to protect him.
But this was not the case for Xuan Ji. She moved at an impressive speed, yet did not cause Ye Mo any discomfort.
“Aunt, you are too strong. Even when moving so fast, I don’t feel anything,” Ye Mo exclaimed in admiration.
“When you reach my level, you will understand the intricacies behind this feat,” Xuan Ji said with a smile.
“Aunt, have you always been in love with my father?” Ye Mo asked.
“Yes. Unfortunately, he was snatched up by your mother. It doesn’t matter. I will nurture you like my own son. With your talent and my nurturing, nobody will be able to compete against you. Your accomplishments will surpass your father’s,” Xuan Ji said with full confidence.
“Surpassing father has always been my goal. Aunt, look. We are reaching Limestone City,” Ye Mo said when he saw the distant, familiar city.
“Limestone City has always been a place I dare not step foot in. Go kill Ye Changsheng. We shall go visit your father’s grave together.” Then, they streaked straight towards Limestone City.
