“Who do you think you are?” Taishi Dan said with a smirk. “You’re just a Spirit Cultivating Sixth Realm warrior, and you dare say you will represent the Qingyun Alliance? Do you think you have the right to use the Thousand Years Absolute Ice?”
“Is that so?” Ye Mo gripped the Sky Blood Spear tightly. “As Qingyun Aliiance’s disciple, all five of you are abusing your powers. I’ll show you what it’s like to look down on people. All of you can come at me together!”
Everyone was shocked by Ye Mo’s challenge. They were all in disbelief that a Spirit Cultivating Sixth Realm warrior dared challenge five Half-Energy Shaping Realm warriors. They thought that he was going crazy.
Yet in the freezing cold palace, Bing Bing’s eyes brimmed with fire as she remembered what Cai Ling had said when Bing Bing first met Ye Mo. She began to feel that Ye Mo had the power to challenge all of them.
Cai Ling was the only one who was not shocked. Ye Mo’s power was definitely enough to take care of them easily.
“What did you just say?” one of the disciples who wielded a sword asked, unable to believe his own ears. “Say that again!”
Ye Mo did not reply and thrust his left fist forward as a gust of wind shot towards the disciple with a sword.
“What nerve!” the disciple responded when he felt Ye Mo’s attack. He readied himself as he focused his fierce energy around him.
“How dare a country boy like you attack us! I’ll make sure you regret it!” the disciple shouted as he blocked the gust of wind with his sword. His sword was like a dancing silver snake, like a goddess throwing petals. The sword danced as lights reflected from it, like it was flowing down a sunlit stream.
The Flowing Stream Sword Style.
Martial Techniques can be divided into four different levels. From the lowest to highest are the Spiritual Level, the Mortal Level, the Supreme Level, and finally, the Deity Level. The Flowing Stream Sword Style was a Low-grade Mortal Level technique from the Qingyun Alliance that Disciples who practiced in swords had to master. Under this style, the sword moved as if it was flowing down an endless stream.
After deflecting Ye Mo’s attack, the sword inched towards Ye Mo like a silver snake.
“The Flowing Stream Sword Style! Marvelous indeed!” Ye Mo shouted in awe as he was familiar with the endless moves the sword could perform.
Ye Mo met the sword with his fist, and his hand was instantly cut by it. Yet the sword could only cut his skin and no further. The disciple kept on swinging his sword as his energies seeped into Ye Mo’s body little by little.
“This is what you get for being ignorant!”
The disciple thrust his sword towards Ye Mo as streams of water erupted from the tip of the sword. The water kept on hitting Ye Mo with a force that could destroy a whole mountain.
“Looks like Zhang Hong has improved,” one of the disciples said. “One thrust and he could summon streams to aid him. Unless his opponent has ways to cut water, they will definitely perish under it.”
“Even Taishi Dan can’t possibly repel that attack yet,” the other disciple said and laughed. “That Sixth Realm kid is doing quite well actually, being able to withstand the force, but it looks like he’s going to collapse soon.”
The other four disciples all laughed at Ye Mo maliciously. They were proud that they could show off Qingyun’s technique in the hall of the Frozen Palace.
The guards were also shocked by the attack as even they might not been able to stop it. The Palace Lord also frowned, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Bing Bing’s face was marred with worry. She gripped her hands into fists, motioning as if she was about to help Ye Mo.
Cai Ling, on the other hand, just stood and acted as if nothing was happening.
“This is the Flowing Stream Sword Style? It’s so weak!” Ye Mo laughed as the Sky Blood Spear shook the ground. A wave of Evil Energy appeared and dispelled the streams of water. All 70 Dragon Energies formed a wave as if an ancient beast was descending to the palace.
Ye Mo took a step forward and grabbed the sword with his bare left hand. The sword bend under the pressure from Ye Mo’s grip as he pulled it forward with its wielder.
Ye Mo swung the Sky Blood Spear in his right hand and sent the disciple flying.
Ye Mo would’ve killed the disciple if they were in the wilderness. Since many people were watching him, Ye Mo could only punish the disciple without killing him.
The arrogant disciple fell in just one attack.
He laid on the ground and held his shoulder in pain.
Everyone’s mouths hung open.
The other weaker disciples were still shocked by what had just happened.
Ye Mo took hold of the opportunity and charged towards them like a fierce beast. The ground shook as Ye Mo swung his spear horizontally while invoking the Spear Technique, Total Annihilation. It was as if a dragon was whipping its tail, and all three of the weaker disciples were sent flying.
All of them fell onto the ground and groaned.
Taishi Dan reacted just in time and evaded the Total Annihilation as his companions were all caught in the onslaught.
One attack and three Half-Energy Shaping warriors fell.
“How dare you attack us!” Taishi Dan shouted. “You’re dead, I tell you! Did you see that, Palace Lord? This kid dares to attack us! He’s challenging the Qingyun Alliance. I order you to take him down, and I’ll reward you generously!”
“Who are you to represent the Qingyun Alliance?” Ye Mo said as he rested his spear on his shoulder.
Ye Mo’s voice was infused with the Dragon Energy and it stunned Taishi Dan.
“I’m one of the geniuses who got a free pass to the Qingyun Alliance!” Taishi Dan shouted. “I’m about to advance to the Energy Shaping Realm, and when I do, I’ll hold a significant position among all of the disciples!”
“Who are you to represent the Qingyun Alliance?” Ye Mo asked again with his tone harsher.
“Don’t provoke me!” Taishi Dan said. “Even if I can’t represent the Qingyun Alliance, I can still represent the Taishi clan! You chose to oppose me, and for that, you’ll suffer something worse than death! You better get down on your kneesand beg for forgiveness!”
“Many people have told me the same thing,” Ye Mo laughed. “In the end, they have all died under my power! Stop dragging this out and let’s fight. I believe it’s my first time witnessing the power of the Hellfire Sword Style.”
“Looks like only death can teach you some manners, huh?” Taishi Dan smirked. “I’ll show you the terror of the Hellfire Sword Style, the terror of the Absolute Hellfire!”
The secret behind the Hellfire Sword Style was in its preparation. The longer the warrior had to gather his energy, the more powerful the style was. Now that he’d gathered his energy to the maximum capacity, even an Energy Shaping First Realm warrior might not be able to take it head-on.
Ye Mo, you’re dead!
