Chapter 283: Forming a Bond

The spirit weapon might have been strong, but the fighter utilizing the illusion was in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm. Once initiated, even normal Eighth Realm fighters could be restrained.
However, Ye Mo’s strongest attack was a combination of the Will of the Chu Killing Spear, an attack filled with killer instinct and the Human-Spear Unity, all channeled towards a focal point. Once unleashed, even the huge formation of the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag would instantly perished.
Blood Wolf could not imagine in his wildest dreams that an Energy Shaping Fifth Realm fighter would be able to unleash such a devastating attack, splitting the huge formation that he had formed with a single spear strike.
Ye Mo did not even give Blood Wolf the time to be surprised as he made a move once again, his dragon spear stabbing towards him forcefully.
Blood Wolf’s expressions changed dramatically, the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag in his hand repeatedly waving as layers of Bloodsoul Skelton Flags generated by energy were unleashed, protecting his body.
Ye Mo’s spear struck and pierced through layer after layer of Bloodsoul Skeleton Flags until it reached Blood Wolf’s body. Carrying the Skeleton Flag in his hand, Blood Wolf directly blocked Ye Mo’s attack with a swipe.
However, Blood Wolf was still sent flying out.
“You are not an Energy Shaping Fifth Realm fighter at all!”
Blood Wolf spat out a streak of blood, the fresh blood splashing on the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag and causing it to start glowing brightly. He waved the flag in his hand once again. Immediately, the flag left his hand and instantly expanded by multiple times in size as it attacked Ye Mo.
“I’m using the power of my fresh blood to awaken the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag. Let’s see how you’re going to block this!”
Looking at the giant Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag, Ye Mo instantly felt an increase in pressure levels. The blood-colored flag floated in the air nonstop, like a large splotch of blood.
Ye Mo stabbed towards the giant Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag. However, he felt instantly weakened, unable to pierce through the flag at all. The skeleton flag also attacked towards Ye Mo, completely wrapping itself around him before stabilizing in mid-air.
“Haha, Ye Mo, just wait for the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag to become nothing but blood and water. Even Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters fail to defend against this move. Regardless of your God-given talent, you are still going to die in my hands.”
As he spoke, Blood Wolf stared at Lin Kunyuan coldly. “Your death sentence will be in effect after I’m finished with him.”
Wrapped inside the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag, Ye Mo was completely unable to move, surrounded by a thick stench of blood. This flag was ultimately cultivated with the blood of a virgin, a culmination of 49 of them altogether. It was a type of weapon that was extremely evil, which meant that the weapon refiner who created this spirit weapon must be extremely evil as well.
“Brother Ye Mo, this Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag is currently giving off an aura of bloodsoul. It will turn you into blood. You have to awaken the purple-flame spiritual powers immediately,” said Ling’er anxiously.
Hearing that, without thinking, Ye Mo immediately covered the exterior of his body with purple-flame spiritual aura, preventing the bloodsoul aura from invading Ye Mo’s body.
“What is going on?” asked Ye Mo, surprised.
“This Bloodsoul aura is a type of evil aura, just like your Sky Blood Aura – upon seeing flesh and blood, it will instantly rupture. If you are carrying the Sky Blood Spear, you will be able to absorb it directly. However, seeing that your purple-flame spiritual aura is an aura of justice, it will almost completely suppress the Bloodsoul aura flawlessly. Slowly awaken the purple-flame spiritual aura, and then you will immediately weaken the powers of the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag.”
Ye Mo’s heart filled with delight upon hearing that. Had it not been for Ling’er, he would not have known what to do.
Indeed, upon his awakening, he felt the pressure surrounding his body reduce greatly. With a tremble of his body, he combined the purple-flame spiritual aura with the Giant Dragon Powers and exploded all of it at once as a huge force shot out.
The giant Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag was immediately engulfed and started to slowly shrink. Single-handedly, Ye Mo absorbed its powers and then snatched the flag.
“Blood Wolf, now that I’ve absorbed your Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag, let’s see what other treasures you have.”
Ye Mo kept the flag in his hand on his belt.
“How is this possible?”
Blood Wolf’s face was furious as his expression changed. Even the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag’s strongest attack had been destroyed by him.
Seeing what was before his eyes, Lin Kunyuan was completely stunned. Ye Mo had dispelled the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag attack with such ease. Many Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters were turned into nothing but pools of blood by that technique.
“Brother Lin, Blood Wolf no longer has the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag with him. He’s yours for the taking!” said Ye Mo.
Hearing this, Lin Kunyuan nodded his head. Not wanting to appear weak, he did not hold back an ounce of his strength.
“Shadow Illusion: Third Style!”
Lin Kunyuan gave out a loud roar as his body suddenly split into three shadows, each turning into a giant energy sword that pierced through the air and struck towards Blood Wolf.
The three shadows almost sealed off any room to escape for Blood Wolf as they sliced him into three pieces.
With a wave of his arm, Lin Kunyuan grabbed Blood Wolf’s Dimensional Bracelet.
“Brother Lin, you are indeed very strong. I’m afraid no one is strong enough to battle you in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm,” Ye Mo said. This sword technique of Lin Kunyuan was indeed extremely powerful, the strongest attack Ye Mo had seen from an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter. Neither the sword slave nor Yun Feng were strong enough to battle him.
“You’re too kind. Compared to you, Brother Ye, I am nothing. Since when did such a generational talent appear from the Qingyun League?” Lin Kunyuan suddenly added, surprised, “Wait—Ye Mo? Are you the Ye Mo who defeated Yun Feng when you were onl in the Energy Shaping Third Realm?”
“Yes!”
“You should know, your name has been spreading around our Tiandi League. Many of our Tiandi League elite members wish to challenge you. Now that you’ve advanced to the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm, I’m guessing you are even stronger now,” said Lin Kunyuan.
“Those are all rumours. For me to carry out my mission today and make a friend like Brother Lin, that is one is an honor in itself. We fought together to put down Blood Wolf, and one could say that we took revenge on a shared enemy. How about we mark the beginning of our friendship here?” Ye Mo immediately suggested, knowing that Lin Kunyuan was a man of justice and a worthy friend to make.
“Just becoming friends is not good enough for me. How about creating a bond? While my training may not be on your level, my family’s authority is not bad. In the future, if Brother Ye faces any trouble, just call for me, and I will definitely be there to help you!”Lin Kunyuan’s eyes sparkled as he said, smiling.
“Haha, Brother Lin, forming a bond without knowing about each other’s backgrounds and merely for the good feeling of it—since you suggested it, I shall naturally accept.”
Ye Mo was a special talent but did not have many friends. It was naturally a good thing for him to make a few friends who shared his views.
The two men who had not previously known each other fought a huge battle together. Sharing this experience, they quickly formed a bond.
“Ye Mo, I am a year older than you. I guess I will have to take on the role as an elder brother,” Lin Kunyuan burst into laughter.
“Haha, Big Brother Lin, since you have already killed Blood Wolf, I still have matters to attend to and cannot stay for long. That Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag is extremely evil, and I shall destroy it,” said Ye Mo.
“This flag is a Spirit Weapon. Are you able to destroy it? If the destruction process is unsuccessful, there will be harmful side-effects,” Lin Kunyuan said, surprised.
“No need to worry, Big Brother Lin, I have methods for destroying it,” replied Ye Mo.
“If that’s the case, then I have nothing to worry about. My mission has already been completed, and I need to rush back to the Tiandi League. We shall meet again if fate allows it.”
Lin Kunyuan clasped his hands together for Ye Mo before soaring into the sky.
“Ling’er, this Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag does not look like an ancient object, but a Spirit Weapon that has just been cultivated. Looks like such evil weapon refiners still exist in the Tianwu Kingdom,” Ye Mo immediately started to wonder after Lin Kunyuan’s shadow soared into the sky.
