But these three individuals all had auras of fierceness and cunning about them, seemingly not coming only for the congratulations.
“Ye Mo, you never thought we would meet again, right? How hilarious that this feast was organized by a bunch of amateurs who merely achieved the Spiritual Cultivating Eighth Realm! You offended me last time at the Ice Palace, so today I will kill you to show you the consequence of being an enemy of the Taishi family,” Taishi Dan said with a threatening expression. His body was covered with a strong fiery energy, which was far beyond the Spiritual Cultivating Ninth Realm.
Everyone at the feast now understood what was going on. Within the month after Ye Mo left, he’d made himself an enemy of Taishi Dan from the Taishi family, which would probably put a halt to the feast tonight.
“Why would a loser even dare to boast in front of me? I beat you with a single move back then, and now you think reaching the Energy Shaping First Realm will give you enough power to take me down? Let me tell you. When time passes, the gap between our strengths will only extend further and further. No matter how hard you try, it is impossible for you to catch up with me,” Ye Mo stood up and said.
“You are Ye Mo? The Ye Mo who defeated my brother with a single move at the Ice Palace?” A young Energy Shaping Second Realm martial artist glared at Ye Mo, with a face full of pride. “I am the first son of the Daishi Family and the head of the inner Qingyun Alliance, Daishi Qing. I heard you were being quite smug back at the Ice Palace and did not respect the Qingyun Alliance at all. Therefore, I come today to see who this punk is and how strong he is, but it turns out you are merely a Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm martial artist. How do you want to settle the debt between you and my brother?”
Staring at the first son of the Daishi family, Ye Mo sarcastically smiled and said, “Being smug? Your brother was the one who bullied others in the name of the Qingyun Alliance. I defeated him just to teach him a lesson. Don’t tell me you tend to avenge your brother?”
The leading elder remained silent and watched how the two sons of the Daishi family acted.
“I will not call it revenge. I come here today, in the name of my family master, to bring you back to my family and make you pay for your crime. If we let this crime go unanswered, how can the Daishi Family stay respected in Tianwu Kingdom? It is a great coincidence that you are having a feast now, so I can capture you in front of everybody and bring you back to the Daishi family.”
“Capture me and bring me back to the Daishi family?” Ye Mo came out from the crowd, and said “Who do you think you are? But not a bad try. Considering you are the first son of the Daishi family, let me give you a chance. I am now standing in front of you, so let’s see if you can catch me!”
“This man is Daishi Qing from the Daishi family, who is said to have been a leader of the Qingyun Alliance in his early days. Now he has reached the Energy Shaping Second Realm, a remarkable martial artist of this era.”
Someone shouted among the crowd, “It is him. Last time when I was practicing at Humu Mountain, I saw him slaying an Energy Shaping Second Realm beast with ease.”
“What? Killing an Energy Shaping Second Realm beast with ease? How powerful he is!”
Xiao Yuanshan said faintly, “Guests from the Daishi family, we Xiao family is having a feast to celebrate our victory. If you are a guest, please take a seat and have a drink. But if you are an enemy, then don’t blame me for being rude.”
The True Energy Vibration in Xiao Yuanshan was activated and burst forth, which caused the whole palace to tremble.
“Haha! True Energy Realm. I have never thought Limestone City would have a True Energy Realm martial artist. No wonder you are so arrogant, but is it wise to be arrogant?” The elder dressed in a grey robe said with a grin.
Boom!
An even more powerful True Energy Vibration burst forth in all directions like a gigantic wave.
In an instant, it sent shivers down everyone’s spines, which felt like one was being gazed at by countless people.
Integrating consciousness into the True Energy, which could only be achieved by a Heaven’s Gate Realm martial artist!
“You are a True Energy Realm ace, yet I am a Heaven’s Gate Realm ace, which is higher than the True Energy Realm. To me, you are merely a pathetically weak existence.”
The True Energy Vibration, under the control of that elder, turned into a True Energy flaming sword. It was called the Heaven’s Flaming Sword, and it was composed of True Energy.
When the fiery True Energy was emitted, the whole palace became burning hot, as if it was on fire.
“Just forfeit. You’ve already lost and I haven’t even used my Heaven’s Flaming Sword yet.”
Xiao Yuanshan’s face went pale. He had no idea the elder would be terrifyingly strong. His True Energy could barely withstand the fiery True Energy. If that Heaven’s Flaming Sword struck just one, the whole Xiao Mansion would be turned toruins.
“Being only in the True Energy Realm, you barely stand a chance. Step aside if you still want to live.”
The elder in grey rube withdrew the True Energy, put away that scary Heaven’s Flaming Sword, and said, “Taishi Qing, that Ye Mo is being too arrogant, so you shall me the one who takes his life.”
“Brother, kill him and teach him a lesson about offending the Taishi family.”
Hearing their words, Taishi Qing changed his appearance. The bloody red Yuanli which surged from his body formed an enormous fire spirit with a sharp mouth and tongue.
“Ye Mo, see if you can take another martial technique of the Daishi Family! Sky-Engulfing Flames!”
The scorching fiery Yuanli was pushed forward, which made some weak martial artists around them feel their blood boiling from within.
At this moment, Ye Mo pulled out his Sky Blood Spear and pointed at the air. A grand, icy blue spear projection struck at the massive fiery spirit. With only one strike, the frozen spear projection swept across all the roaring heat and turned it into frozen ice.
Afterwards, as if he was teleporting, Ye Mo appeared beside Taishi Qing, pointed out two fingers like one would wield two swords.
Breaking Air Finger!
Like a flash, the Breaking Air Finger almost struck at Taishi Qing’s chest, giving him no time to react. Out of shock and panic, Taishi Qing formed a palm and struck back.
Bang!
When the fingers and the palm met, Ye Mo felt a vibration in his chest, which was the effect of the force on his body. On the other hand, the strike caused Taishi Qing’s body to fly backwards and landed on an empty table.
“How is this possible? Taishi Qing of the Energy Shaping Second Realm was outmatched by Ye Mo?”
“It had to be because of Ye Mo’s spear. The spearhead seemed to be forged by a pure ice of thousand years.”
This scene set off a commotion among the crowd, especially Taishi Dan, whose face was full of disbelief. How could his brother be outmatched? Ye Mo was not that strong back in at the Ice Palace.
“Nice! Nice hit!” Xiao Yuanshan held his chest, yet laughed in relief.
Realizing the situation, the elder’s face dignified. Suddenly, he pulled out two fingers, formed a fiery red True Energy sword and shot it directly at Ye Mo.
“Ye Mo’s life shall be taken by me then!”
All of a sudden, a raging voice sounded from one of the tables. It was the Barbarian’s martial art technique, Diamond Heavy Roar, which had True energy imbued within the roar. All of the cups and glasses in the room cracked under its shockwaves.
Everyone felt a heart-tearing pain in their heads, and the fiery red True Energy sword vanished.
A giant man with a bamboo rain hat hopped out from the crowd and landed between Ye Mo and the elder!
