Ye Mo landed directly and walked over and placed a foot on the One Armed Butcher’s body. He roared loudly, “One Armed Butcher, you really think you can kill me? What else do you have to say?”
“What are you proud about? If not for the Chen Family army, based on your strength, how could you defeat me?”
The One Armed Butcher’s face was covered with blood. Struggling in pain, he said, “Haha, the Chen Family army is something else indeed, to be able to deploy the Killing Dragon Formation and restrain me. I don’t deserve this. I don’t deserve to be defeated at the hands of fighters who are not even in the True Energy Realm.”
“Die!”
Ye Mo did not waste any more breath on him as he charged forward, stared down at the indignant look on his face, and sent a palm strike into his body, shattering the Energy Center and all of the veins and vessels inside his body.
Just like that, the One Armed Butcher, a Heaven’s Gate Realm fighter, lay there on the ground lifeless. Just as Ye Mo killed him, he could detect a gigantic wave of True Energy shooting out from the body of the One Armed Butcher.
Ling’er’s voice was heard. “This is the clone of the One Armed Butcher, and it is disintegrating after his death. Quickly absorb it!”
Without hesitation, Ye Mo reached out a hand and instantly created a black spiral. All of the True Energy powers were completely absorbed by him.
Roar, roar, roar!
Inside his Energy Center, the roar of the Bright Dragon rose once again!
100 rays of Bright Dragon Power.
200 rays of Bright Dragon Power.
500 rays of Bright Dragon Power.
Absorbing the True Energy clone of the One Armed Butcher, Ye Mo once again awakened 500 rays of Bright Dragon Power and amassed a total of 5000 rays of Bright Dragon Powers inside his body. Ye Mo now had the courage to challenge even an elite in the advanced stage of the True Energy Realm.
On the ground, the 700 soldiers of the Chen Family army had shocked faces. Looking at the corpse of the One Armed Butcher, everyone was completely stunned.
“One Armed Butcher of the Heaven’s Gate Realm, killed by a single blow from Ye Mo?”
“How is this possible? Even though we managed to restrain him, it should have been impossible for Ye Mo kill him with one move – he was a fighter in the Heaven’s Gate Realm.”
Ye Mo nodded as he said, “Indeed, the One Armed Butcher was killed by my single move. Having lost an arm, it meant that he had lost an entrance in his body – his strength was far from the Heaven’s Gate Realm. It was only with the help of all of you that I managed to defeat him with a single hit.”
“There’s nothing that is impossible. For Brother Ye Mo to be able to heal all of us, your training must not be what it seems on the surface. I’m afraid even Chuge of our Chen Family army may not be Ye Mo’s worthy opponent.”
“Alright, since the huge battle has ended, we shall ride on this victory and head towards the…”
“Lady, don’t rush into things. Perhaps Ye Mo has long escaped already.”
Seeing that Yanzhi was ordering her Lightning Bird to move at a speed he had never seen before, General Fei Long immediately started to comfort her.
Yanzhi said with a worried face, “Knowing him, he will definitely not leave. The One Armed Butcher failed to take me down. He will definitely be after Ye Mo.”
“Aye, who would’ve thought that something like this would happen, that the One Armed Butcher would be out.” General Fei Long shook his head repeatedly, struggling to ensure their plans kept up with the changes.
“We’re here!”
The Lightning Bird immediately halted. Upon seeing the corpse of the One Armed Butcher, Yanzhi was completely stunned.
“Is this the corpse of the One Armed Butcher? The person whom our Chen Family army has tried multiple times to kill to no avail is dead? Don’t tell me, there was another strong fighter who intervened?”
Yanzhi was hugely surprised.
“Lady, these are corpses of our Chen Family army. However, they are not many in numbers. I estimate that there are only 300 of them.”
General Fei Long started to survey the surroundings.
“Don’t tell me, it was Ye Mo who killed him?”
An instinctive thought entered Yanzhi’s heart. However, she shook her head – no matter how strong Ye Mo was, he was definitely not able to kill the One Armed Butcher.
Yanzhi asked anxiously, “General Fei Long, you are a fighter in the Heaven’s Gate Realm. Are you able to detect or sense what had happened?”
“No!” General Fei Long shook his head and said, “Lady, you are in over your head. Look at the massive amount of footprints on the ground – evidently, a large group of people had passed by. Furthermore, out of the 1000 of our Chen Family army, only 300 corpses were found. It is apparent that not only are the remaining 700 not dead, they are still filled with energy. Perhaps, a strong fighter intervened and not only saved the soldiers but also killed off the One Armed Butcher.”
“Perhaps!” Yanzhi sighed and said, “Let’s follow the footprints!”
Following the footprints, Chen Yanzhi and General Fei Long found the main camp of the Northwest Bandits before long. Watching the Chen Family army escorting some of the suffering women out and pushing out boxes of treasures, the two of them stood rooted to the ground.
Seeing that the remaining Northwest Bandits were still resisting, Ye Mo gave them a stern reminder. “You people better not try to resist. Now that your leader and deputy leader have all been slaughtered, any kind of resistance is futile. So long as you all intend to turn over a new leaf, Marshal Chen may still agree to let you all live.”
Resistance meant certain death – obedience still brought about some hope. As expected, those bandits all knelt down on the ground before they were taken away one by one by the Chen Family army.
“This…?”
Chen Yanzhi and General Fei Long looked at Ye Mo with stunned expressions, as if their throats were clogged.
Yanzhi walked up to him and asked. “Ye Mo, did you kill the One Armed Butcher?”
Ye Mo nodded and told her the truth. “Yes I did, but I did it together with the help of the 700 Chen Family army soldiers. They displayed the Killing Dragon Formation to trap the One Armed Butcher, which allowed me to finish him off with a single blow.”
“How is that possible? Killing Dragon Formation? Amongst hundreds of military camps, only a few elite ones are able to display such a formation. They actually managed to do it?”
General Fei Long’s eyes were also filled with shock.
“Yes, they indeed displayed the Killing Dragon Formation.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Ye Mo said, “This mission of eliminating the Northwest Bandits can more or less be considered completed. However, we lost thirty percent of our military strength.”
After speaking, Ye Mo could not help but take a look at Yanzhi, seeing that she had lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking about.
Ye Mo made the promise of only losing ten percent of military strength. If the promise could not be met, the marriage contract would still take effect. However, they had lost thirty percent of their strength. “Knowing Chen Yihan, will he let me off?”
Seeing that Ye Mo was a man of such high calibre, Chen Yihan was most likely going to use that as a reason to keep Ye Mo.
Skywolf Mountain Range, Marshal Residence!
At that moment, a lady dressed in white of extreme beauty was sitting right in the middle, arms crossed around her chest as she sat one-legged, her expression extremely upset. Beside her was Marshal Chen Yihan. The number of people in the Tianwu Kingdom who can sit and make Chen Yihan stand could be counted with a single hand.
“Marshal Chen, I’ve already said this. Don’t call me Princess, just call me by my name. Call me by name for the few days that I’ll be at the Marshal Residence. I’ve grown tired of hearing ‘Princess’ throughout the palace,” Li Mengli said angrily before waving her arms. “Also, don’t you dare call Chen Xiao here to keep me company. I shall stay here for a few days to complete Brother’s mission.”
“This…”
Chen Yihan’s tone was somewhat hesitant before he said, “Mengli, I know you don’t have much interest in my son, but it is the Emperor’s wishes to matchmake the two of you. Let me bring him here to interact with you. Who knows, you might take a liking to him.”
“No, no. Only those who are more gifted than my brother are able to attract me. He is not even in the True Energy Realm, how am I going to have any interest?” Li Mengli was not angry, merely waving him off.
Chen Yihan sighed. The Princess had extremely admired her brother since they were young. The leader of the Tianwu Kingdom – her man, could not be one who was weaker than the Emperor.
Chen Yihan shook his head. “Is there anyone in the Tianwu Kingdom who is even more gifted than the Emperor?”
“That remains to be seen!” Li Mengli said, as Ye Mo’s face unwittingly appeared in her mind.
Suddenly, Yun Chuchu entered the Marshal Residence and asked with a worried face, “Marshal Chen, is Brother Mo going to be alright?”
