The six elite fighters descended, coming for him. Ye Mo felt a sense of danger that he had never experienced before. Even during the League War, he hadn’t felt this level of danger.
If that was a high likelihood of dying, this time, death was near certain. The only way he could escape alive was if the Giant Dragon Deity helped him.
But, before, when the Giant Dragon Deity reached out to help, it was to remove harmful beings inside his body, like the Luosha Evil Ghost King and the Redbone Horseape.
“Are you the master of the Demon City – Mo Longzi?”
Seeing Mo Longzi, a hint of surprise flashed across Chu Tian’s face, before disappearing, as if even Mo Longzi was of little concern to him.
“You’re one of the First Heaven Society’s four main generals – their leader, General Chu Tian?” Mo Longzi frowned as well. Before entering Purgatory, the Demon City had provided some intel. He knew that the four main generals of the First Heaven Society would be there. Only General Chu Tian was capable of this level of authority.
“Haha, Mo Longzi, if you’re here to kill us and gain points, forget about it.” Chu Tian smiled calmly. “While I’m no match for you alone, with the four of us combining forces, there’s nothing you can do to us.”
“My brother Mo Tian has been killed. I don’t have time for chatter.”
As Mo Longzi spoke, their faces lit up – based on the current situation, it has to have been Ye Mo who killed Mo Tian.
Even people of the First Heaven Society had heard of Mo Tian. He was a generational prodigy, and the inheritor of the Demon Master’s Demon Deity Body, as well as the heir to the throne of the Demon Master. Now that he had been killed by Ye Mo, Ye Mo was in a real predicament.
“This time, Ye Mo will die a sorry death even without us having to be involved.”
“So, you’re Ye Mo?” Mo Longzi gave Ye Mo a sinister smile. “You’re the one who killed my brother?”
“That’s right. It was me.”
Ye Mo didn’t try to deny it. With the demonic aura still wrapped around his body, there was no point denying what he had done.
“Even though my brother’s strength was only in the Sixth Tier of the Transcendence Realm, his true abilities were comparable to fighters in the Eighth Tier,” Mo Longzi said with a weird tone. “You killed him, and you’re just in the Third Tier. Not bad”
“Haha, he’s more than just ‘not bad,’” Chu Tian said. “Our comrade, Fan Jiang, had the Invincible Purple Gold Titan as his Transcendence Golden Body and possessed strength in the Eighth Tier of the Transcendence Realm, and Ye Mo still killed him. I can do your bidding for you and kill him off.”
As Chu Tian spoke, he launched an attack against Ye Mo. Even if Ye Mo’s body didn’t have any deity-level techniques, they couldn’t let Mo Longzi find out about the Mountain and River Diagram or the Sky Blood Spear.
If they killed him first, Mo Longzi would have no interest in studying the corpse.
Chu Tian’s attack was enough to give Ye Mo a huge amount of trouble. A simple attack on the surface, it was actually imbued with a frightening will that took form in a giant palm strike, threatening to blind Ye Mo with its force.
“You think I’ll let you kill him?” Mo Longzi swiped his sleeve and sent a wave of demonic aura out, clashing with the gigantic palm, shattering it. Mo Longzi said calmly, “This Ye Mo killed my brother. I’m going to bring him to the Demon City, dead or alive. Any objections?”
Seeing his attack cut off, Chu Tian felt a slight chill in his heart. He said, “Ye Mo killed the Young Master of the Demon City. It only makes sense for you to bring back his corpse. We won’t interfere.”
Chu Tian waved his hand and left with the others.
“General Tian, what about the Sky Blood Spear?” Nian Bing asked anxiously.
“What else can we do?” Chu Tian frowned. “That Mo Longzi is in the Half-Profound Realm. All four of us together might not be his match. Ye Mo’s sealed off the Sky Blood Spear’s spirituality using the spear sheath – it would be difficult for normal people to be able to detect it. But Ye Mo is definitely going to die. While we completed our mission, we failed to attain a single item that we had wanted to take off him.”
Killing Ye Mo was just an excuse. Their true mission was to take the Mountain and River Diagram and the Sky Blood Spear. There were so many treasures inside the diagram that it was an item of interest even for elite fighters in the Transcendence Realm. Who knows, there might even be miraculous items inside that would enable them to advance straight to the Profound World Realm.
If Mo Longzi was only in the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm, the four of them wouldn’t have allowed him to take Ye Mo away.
“Even with how the situation unfolded, with Ye Mo out of the equation, it represents a worry that will no longer be on the mind on the Master.”
Ye Mo’s talent was way too scary. With a prodigy of this caliber standing against the First Heaven Society, their only option was to kill him off before he could reach his full potential.
“That goes without saying.” Lu Huo smiled. “This Ye Mo’s gifts are indeed incredibly frightening. It’s a shame for a talent like that to have this kind of ending.”
“Indeed,” Nian Bing agreed. “But he’s gotten lucky so many times, it’s only natural that he’s managed to advance up the realms so quickly. Had we experienced what he has, perhaps our training would be just as good as his.”
“It’s a shame that General Fan is dead,” Chu Tian said. “But his spot is open. Liu Qingyun, when the Saint Elect Tournament ends, I’ll represent the four main generals to plead with the Master for you to replace Chen Fan and become General Yun.”
“Many thanks to General Tian then.” Liu Qingyun put his hands together in response. While Chu Tian was younger than him, his training levels were incredibly high.
“Let’s go then. Our Purgatory trip is about to end.”
The four of them moved in a flash and vanished from where they were standing.
….
“Mo Longzi, if you want to kill me, do it,” Ye Mo said coldly. “But if you think it’ll be easy, think again.”
Facing a Half-Profound elite fighter, he displayed the pride of the Will of the Immortal Zhu Deity. As the ambassador of the Zhu Deity, the bearer of god-like powers, he was going to give it his all if a fight was going to break out.
“Haha, you’ve got some fight left.” Mo Longzi smiled as he said, “I am not going to kill you. Instead, I am going to lend you a helping hand.”
“What? A helping hand?” Ye Mo couldn’t understand. He killed his opponent’s brother, yet he still wants to help him?
“I’ll make this short.”
Seeing Ye Mo’s confusion, Mo Longzi laughed, then continued, “I was born with my father’s expectations on me, and was the heir to the throne of the Demon Master since birth. Who would have expected that a hundred years later, Mo Tian would be born with the strongest Demon Deity Body? After that, he displayed incredible talent as well. Even though my training level was higher than his, my position as the heir was taken from me. I’ve wanted to fill him for a long time. You actually helped me out big time by offing him.”
Ye Mo nodded. He understood that this was a battle for the throne. Mo Longzi wasn’t going to attack Mo Tian, but Ye Mo killing Mo Tian left a huge opportunity for him.
“Even if that’s the case, you can still easily kill me,” Ye Mo said.
“I did have that thought. If that happened, I will just become the next Demon Master without anyone batting an eye. But your talents made me think twice. I need a good partner, someone like you. While your strength level isn’t up there with the truly powerful fighters, I know that it’s only a matter of time before you become a true elite fighter. Are you interested in working with me?”
Mo Longzi smiled gently.
