Chapter 185: Fierce, Brutal Battle
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Skylight City was bigger than Limestone City–finding the city central was not going to be an easy task.
Ye Mo, disguised as one of the armored spirits, carefully moved around in Skylight City. The map report showed that there would be some purple-eyed armored spirits patrolling Skylight City, their powers rather low-levelled.
Ye Mo did not fear of these spirits, but the map report was given by Yun Shan, so he was not sure if it was genuine. Hence, he still kept his guard up.
“Yun Shan and Yun Baitian are over there!”
Ye Mo’s glance darted over, and he saw Yun Shan and Yun Baitian killing off a few armored spirits.
Yun Shan and Yun Baitian jumped up to the roof after collecting the spirit essences. Ye Mo raised his head, looked up, and saw a young man standing there. He was clad in dark blue practice attire, with a long sword behind his back. His posture was as straight as a blade with a hint of arrogance across his face.
This man was filled with power from head to toe, as if he has already completed fusing with his energy. His energy had completely changed his body–this was a warrior in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm.
Yun Shan and Yun Baitian jumped in front of the man, smiling faintly. “Brother Xu Fu, there are only purple-eyed spirits here in Skylight City, and the red-eyed and white-eyed armored spirits from the city central and some family clans were all controlled by the brothers and highly skilled members in the league. It will not take long before our Qingyun League members can completely eradicate the armored spirits and return peace and quiet to Eastern Zhou.”
“If not for the two of you to gain experience, I, Xu Fu, would not be wasting my time here. I am going to slaughter some red-eyed armored spirits,” Xu Fu said.
Yun Shan and Yun Baitian both had gleeful smiles on their face. “Brother Xu Fu, you are already a member of the league. Within the league, we can claim a position of status as well.”
“Not bad!” Xu Fu nodded his head in satisfaction. With a sweep of his hand into the afar, a dark blue sword of energy manifested from thin air, slashing a few purple-eyed armored spirits that suddenly appeared. With a few moves, those armored spirits dropped to the ground.
“Brother Xu Fu, this technique of energy shaping across space is more powerful than a normal Energy Shaping Fourth Realm attack.”
Seeing Xu Fu easily killing off a few armored spirits with a wave of his arm sent struck fear inside of them.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of a fierce battle could be heard from all directions. Plenty of league members broke through the walls of the ancient building of the family clans, rushing out and flying in the sky, with their weapons shining brightly in the air.
Ye Mo could see that Yao Yue was one of the members.
She was clad in a white gown, with a pair of snow white energy wings spreading out from her back. Every time her wings flapped, it sent cold wind and white snow rolling in the air.
Yao Yue’s martial techniques were just like her personality–freezing cold.
There were more than 10 members drifting in the winds.
What followed was a series of explosions of aura from the buildings. Hundreds of armored spirits shot out, among them both red-eyed and white-eyed ones.
In an instant, there were armored spirits all over the place–on the streets of Skylight City, in the sky, and even along the city walls. The armored spirits who were turned to stone slowly awoke from their slumber, turning into red-eyed armored spirits.
“Sister Yao Yue, there were errors with the report. We are surrounded by the armored spirits.”
One of the members in the air was a highly-skilled expert in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm, flapping his energy wings as he surveyed the surroundings with a stern look on his face.
An energy shield formed on the outer layer of his body. This was a skill only a fighter in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm could utilize.
“I know. The numbers have completely exceeded what I had anticipated. We brought 11 elite members with us to carry out the mission. Besides myself, the rest are all Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighters. However, the opponents included more than 20 white-eyed armored spirits and hundreds of red-eyed armored spirits. We are in a dire situation.”
Even Yao Yue, who was rarely fazed by anything, could not help but frown.
“All the Qingyun League members here today in the Skylight City, don’t even think about escaping alive. You are all young bodies that we can kill and use to complete our revival. Hahaha!”
Those whose powers were at least the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm all spread out their energy wings, flying in the winds. Those whose powers were not at that level stood on the streets. Others stood on the roofs.
“If you want to kill us, it is not going to be that easy!”
“Kill!”
In an instant, the Skylight City’s sky exploded into a fiery battle. All the elite members gave everything they had, unleashing a series of techniques and moves, layers of energy stacking up like waves. The sky was shrouded by sword spirit, blade spirit, and a frightening energy storm that was alike the rampant Yellow River.
Every time the Qingyun League elite fighters and the white-eyed armored spirits clashed, the impact was akin to booming thunder.
The abandoned houses in Skylight City were destroyed again, losing whatever original shape they was in.
Some bodies fell from the sky in twos and threes like broken kites, landing heavily onto the ground.
Ye Mo looked towards the fierce and brutal battle in the sky and could not help but shake his head. He could not interfere in this level of battle. He could not even handle a normal red-eyed armored spirit.
Even the weakest red-eyed ones were in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm.
Without the Sky Blood Spear in hand, Ye Mo did not have the fundamentals to kill a fighter in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm.
Xu Fu’s initial face of arrogance was soon wiped away. He had almost wetted himself seeing the ongoing battle and hid in a corner early on, afraid to leave. Yun Shan and Yun Baitian followed suit.
“We are doomed. There are so many white-eyed armored spirits. If all the elite fighters are killed, aren’t we their next target?” Yun Baitian asked in fear, his face pale white.
“Our brothers and sisters of the Inner League don’t seem like they can hold on for long,” added Yun Shan.
“Should we send a signal for help?” asked Yun Baitian.
“Are you crazy? The armored spirits will know where we are the moment we send out the help signal. We should just stay here and observe quietly. Perhaps the elders of the Qingyun League already knows about this and are already on their way here,” Xu Fu reprimanded furiously.
The elite fighters left in the sky were decreasing in numbers, with only Yao Yue left, struggling in battle. Her powers have peaked in the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm, but her actual fighting abilities were already in the Ninth Realm.
However, there were a few white-eyed armored spirits in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm, and the fighters were defeated one by one after multiple attacks from the spirits.
Ye Mo looked on anxiously as a look of worry flashed across his face.
Yao Yue had looked for him at the Unbreakable Mountain previously, so he knew that while this sister was seemed cold-hearted, she was extremely kind deep down. Naturally, he did not want to see her die here.
Boom!
Another fierce collision sent Yao Yue flying backwards tens of yards in the air before finally coming to a stop. The energy levels of her wings were depleting, as was her aura.
“Hehehehe! Your training is impressive, little girl. You must have mastered some powerful skills in order to block off our combined attack as an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighter. Otherwise, there would be no way that you’re so powerful. I will kill you here and now and possess your body to fully realize your skills and techniques. Combined with my years of training and experience, I will surely reach ultimate dominance in my power levels.”
Due to her injury, Yao Yue’s originally white face turned even paler.
“You want to kill me? It will not be this easy. I am the one who is stepping out of Tianwu Kingdom. How can I afford to die just like this? Let me show all of you my true power!.”
As she spoke, Yao Yue took out an unused sword from behind her back. The sword’s whole body gave out an ice-blue colored glow. As the snowy white sword was unleashed, the whole sky above Skylight City started to freeze, engulfing the whole place within a layer of chills and a violent blizzard and sending the city into a new ice age. All that came from the scary ice abilities of the weapon.
“That weapon! It is a spirit weapon–and an elite spirit weapon too!”
All the armored spirits started to tremble. Facing a spirit weapon, who stood a chance?
