The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

“Too weak.” Ye Mo shook his head seeing the demonic beasts split in half.

 While these beasts in the intermediate stage of the Profound Heaven Realm weren’t gifted in terms of martial techniques, their offense and defense were both stronger than normal fighters in the same realm. But Ye Mo could kill them off with ease.

 “In my current state, I can kill anyone in the tenth district.”

 Clenching his fists, he could feel power flowing through his body. A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

 Among the castellans ranked in the top ten, the one he wanted to kill the most was Fan Yi.

 As for the others, if they didn’t initiate an attack against him, he wouldn’t intentionally steal from them.

 Just as Ye Mo was leaving the cave, two dark shadows descended. Looking at the ground, which was filled with scars, they immediately locked onto the direction that Ye Mo was flying and their jaws dropped. “A fighter in the Profound World Realm? How is it possible that there’s a fighter in the initial stage of the Profound World Realm in this kind of place? Is he the Ye Mo that Castellan Fan Yi has been talking about? He’s just advanced to the Profound World Realm?”

 They had rushed there because they’d heard battling noises.

 “Castellan Xia Yi, that should be Ye Mo. He has 2000 Demon Crystals on him – should we inform Castellan Fan Yi?”

 Standing beside Xia Yi were three other people. They were all people who had helped Luo Lin display his Heart Deity Web and were searching for Ye Mo.

 “No need for that!”

 Castellan Xia Yi waved the thought away. His strength was in the initial stage of the Profound Heaven Realm—the peak of it, no less. An elite fighter with a High-Grade Profound Mark, he said coldly, “Does Fan Yi need to be notified about a small fry like him? With our combined powers, the four of us will be able to kill Ye Mo. After we do, we’ll split his Demon Crystals evenly, search for whatever treasure items he has on him, then hand his corpse over to Fan Yi. There must be a reason Fan Yi is so hung up on a kid like this.”

 “Castellan Xia Yi is right. A fighter in the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm capable of getting 2000 Demon Crystals—if he doesn’t have some special technique up his sleeves, there’s no way he could achieve something like that. Now that he’s made the breakthrough to the Profound World Realm, despite his strength level receiving another boost, facing us can still only end in his death. We’ll strip Ye Mo of his possessions, then hand him over to Fan Yi.”

 “Haha, if this kid really has some great treasure items on him, we’ll be able to turn the tables and we won’t be at Fan Yi’s mercy anymore.”

 The four of them charged in the direction that Ye Mo had gone.

 “Brother Ye Mo, there are four fighters in the initial stage of the Profound Heaven Realm hot on your heels,” Ling’er warned Ye Mo.

 Ye Mo used his Heart Deity to search. Now that his Heart had reached Level Five, his senses were strengthened as well. He immediately spotted the four people chasing after him.

 Ye Mo laughed mockingly and stopped in his tracks, landing atop a mountain range. He waited for the four castellans to arrive—he wasn’t going to say ‘no’ to free Demon Crystals.

 With an explosion, the four castellans in the initial stage of the Profound Heaven Realm landed beside Ye Mo with commanding authority. The four of them had sinister smiles on their faces. Filled with murderous intent, they checked Ye Mo out.

 “So, you’re Ye Mo?” Xia Yi’s eyes locked onto Ye Mo, filled with a murderous aura. “The Ye Mo who escaped from the hands of Castellan Fan Yi?”

 He continued, “Ye Mo, hurry up and hand over your 2000 Demon Crystals, then hand over all your treasure items and medicinal pills. We can spare your life. I am none other than Xia Yi of the Xia City. While my level of training may not be on par with Fan Yi, I have more killing techniques than him.”

 The three other castellans doubled down on him, trapping him, giving him nowhere to escape.

 “Ye Mo, quickly hand over your Demon Crystals. If you want to blame this on anyone, blame it on yourself for being too outstanding and attracting too much attention, making it into the rankings with powers in the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm.”

 “That’s right. There’s a price to pay for sticking out too much. Quickly, hand over your Demon Crystals, or face death.”

 “Xia Yi? Never heard of him.”

 Against the pressurizing force from the four enemy castellans, Ye Mo didn’t show any fear. Even before he’d advanced to the Profound World Realm, these four wouldn’t have been able to stop him from escaping. “Your name isn’t even on the Thousand City List. You dare display such arrogance even though you couldn’t even make it into the rankings? It wasn’t easy for all of you to reach the Profound Heaven Realm, and now you’re going to throw it all away, trying to fight me.”

 Boom!

 As Ye Mo spoke, he made his move. His body flashed, and he reached Xia Yi’s side in an instant. Without any warning, he unleashed his Zhu Deity Punch.

 That punch encapsulated his true strength and threatened to shatter the heavens and cause the ground to collapse. The force inflicted on Xia Yi’s body caused his chest to collapse inwards.

 Seeing the slight pressure those people could bring to bear, Ye Mo had no patience to listen to their threats.

 “Oof!”

 Xia Yi coughed out a jet of blood. He awakened his Profound Mark. A majestic Profound Aura started to clash, one arm grabbing Ye Mo’s arm, the other charging out wildly, destroying everything in its path.

 “Dark Shadow Spirit Punch.”

 This punch was imbued with the offense from the Heart. The frightening attack flew toward Ye Mo’s face, carrying a dark glow that plunged everything into darkness.

 But Ye Mo’s attack was even more majestic. If his opponent wanted to cover the sun, then he would shine into the world.

 He unleashed the Light of the Glorious Sun, forming a ray of burning hot deity glow. Shining down on the land, a frightening Will was generated. Imbued with the Will of the Zhu Deity, connecting with nature’s powers, a vicious attack sprung forth.

 Boom!

 The two punches collided—a collision between the Glorious Sun and the Dark Light Glow. Something buzzed, and the darkened sky split open. Xia Yi’s attack crumbled. As his powers dissipated, the arm that Ye Mo had attacked was chopped down.

 Xia Yi’s face turned pale, a stunned expression on his face. He hadn’t expected that he wouldn’t even be able to take a single punch from Ye Mo.

 “What are you all waiting for?” he roared at his companions, spitting blood. “Hurry up and attack him!”

 “Let’s attack together.”

 After a short hesitation, the three other castellans erupted in fury. They launched all sorts of attacks, but every move was vicious and filled with murderous intent, all determined to crush Ye Mo.

 “Zhu Deity Domain.”

 Facing the attack from the remaining three, Ye Mo remained motionless as he channeled his Zhu Deity Domain. The three attackers’ speed was cut in half. They felt as if they had stepped into a pool of mercury.

 “A domain – a Golden Domain. What kind of man is this Ye Mo, exactly?”

 “What is this domain, for him to be able to restrain our movements?”

 Without even giving his opponents a chance to react, Ye Mo was like a god above all. With his opponents weakened, coupled with the fact that he had completed his fusion and advanced to the Profound World Realm, the effects of his domain were unstoppable.

 Brandishing the Sky Blood Spear, one of the Profound Heaven Realm castellans was struck in the brain by Ye Mo’s spear, blood spluttering everywhere.

Just like that, a fighter in the Profound Heaven Realm was struck down.

 Ye Mo launched his long spear again, and it struck the head of another castellan, one turned to flee. Even though he had come to his senses, despite his attempts to leave, he couldn’t escape his fate, and his body was split in two.

 “No, don’t kill me. We were just following Fan Yi’s orders,” Xia Yi said in fear.

 “Fan Yi? Where is he now?” Ye Mo asked coldly.

 “I don’t know. We split up to find you, to help him take you down. He forced our hands,” Xia Yi replied quickly, fearing that Ye Mo would become impatient and kill him.

 “I had no choice, either.”

 Boom!

 A single spear went right through Xia Yi, fear still written all over his face.
