Chapter 286: Cao Zheng Appears
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone was shocked by what they had seen. Cao Sanshi was an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighter, a youngster on par with the geniuses in the Heaven’s Wall City. They could not believe that he was sent flying by a single attack.
Instantly, the reserve guards behind Cao Sanshi let out a huge roar.
However, before they could even finish shouting, two rays of light blades flew out at the speed of the wind, directly shooting towards the two guards. They were split into half before they could even respond.
“The nerve of all of you to trespass into the Qi Clan’s back garden. Who gave you the courage to do so?” Ye Mo said coldly.
“Ye Mo? It’s you?”
Cao Sanshi steadied his body and roared loudly, “How dare you attack and kill my reserve guards! No one can save you now!”
“I am still the escort captain of the Qi Clan. All of you barged into the Qi Clan’s back garden without permission. I have the right to kill you all,” Ye Mo said calmly.
“Ye Mo, you stole Young Master Cao’s woman, and now you’ve killed my reserve guards too and still remain so arrogant. You are going to die for sure,” Cao Sanshi said, clenching his teeth.
“I’m going to die for sure? Don’t tell me, you think you have a chance of defeating me?” mocked Ye Mo.
“Hmph, I’ve already informed Young Master Cao. The reason you were able to defeat me in that previous battle was definitely because you used certain martial techniques to stifle my aura. If I face you again, there is no way that I will give you the chance to stifle me now.”
Cao Sanshi instantly drew out his long spear. Filled with fury, he sent out a wave of spear attacks of devastating power as his body was surrounded by an explosive energy whirlwind. The dust and debris that kicked up were all aimed straight at Ye Mo.
Having lost to Ye Mo last time, he was determined to redeem himself this time.
However, he was too simple-minded.
Ye Mo was no longer the boy he was back in that day. With his heart minion sending up three consecutive spear strikes, the Human-Spear Unity also reaching its peak powers, a single spear strike was unleashed, with his whole body combined into the dragon spear. While Cao Sanshi’s strike was ruthless, Ye Mo’s Human-Spear Unity was more than competent inside the energy whirlwind, which was unable to hurt him at all.
Ding!
The dragon spear in Ye Mo’s hands plunged towards Cao Sanshi’s long spear. Every spear collision was unpredictable with every clash producing fierce, fiery sparks.
Clang!
Following that, Cao Sanshi’s expression changed dramatically as his long spear flew out of his hand and into the sky.
Raising the dragon spear in his hand, Ye Mo directly stabbed towards Cao Sanshi’s throat.
“Overturning Ocean Seal!”
With his weapon flying out of his hand, Cao Sanshi immediately activated a hand seal which seemingly broke open the sky and threatened to drown Ye Mo in the ocean waves without any mercy.
The palm strike landed directly on Ye Mo’s body, going through him and turning into a shadow.
Following that, he felt a sense of chill behind his back. Ye Mo’s legs burst out like the tail of a dragon, capable of wiping out an entire army, and landed on Cao Sanshi’s head, sending his whole body flying out of the back garden. Landing outside the Qi Clan back garden, he groaned in pain.
This scene happened in a flash, causing everyone to be stunned. Even Manager Qi stared at Ye Mo with a shocked expression.
In just a few days, Ye Mo was already able to defeat Cao Sanshi with ease. This rapid improvement was immensely frightening.
The remaining few reserve guards initially showed faces of confusion, quickly followed by complete fear.
“Quick, quickly report to Young Master Cao – tell him that Ye Mo is in the back garden!”
“Retreat quickly!”
Cao Sanshi was already defeated. What was the point of fighting against Ye Mo? In a moment of desperation, they dragged Cao Sanshi’s body with them and immediately escaped, looking extremely pitiful.
“Phew!”
Seeing the reserve guards leaving, Manager Qi first heaved a sigh of relief before anxiously telling Ye Mo, “Ye Mo, good job this time as the captain of the escort team for killing those reserve guards for trespassing into our back garden. You have courage that most do not. However, given Cao Zheng’s temper, he will definitely not let you off. Even if it means fighting to the death with the Qi Clan, he will do anything to capture and kill you. I suggest that you leave the Heaven’s Wall City and return to the Qingyun League. Back there, Cao Zheng will not dare touch you.”
After the excitement had dissipated, Manager Qi was filled with worry once again. Cao Zheng was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. Given his temper, Xiao Cao and Ye Mo having this flirtatious relationship, as well as the killing of the reserve guards, he was not going to let Ye Mo off without a fight.
Xiao Cao ran over as she said anxiously, “Young master, hurry up and escape. Leaving the Qi Clan is your only way to survive.”
“Indeed. At this moment, you can no longer stay in the Heaven’s Wall City.”
Naturally, Ye Mo knew all that. However, he was unwilling to run away after spending just mere moments in the Heaven’s Wall City.
“Escape? You hit my men, touch my woman, and now you’re thinking about running?”
A cold roar echoed. Initially, the long scream appeared to be from extremely far away. However, after a few breaths of time, the voice shot towards the Qi Clan, its soundwaves unstable and rumbling like thunder, shaking the whole back garden to its foundations.
Upon hearing the voice, everyone’s expressions changed.
Even Ye Mo’s face changed.
This was because he could tell from the voice itself that the person speaking had already reached the True Energy Realm. The long scream contained True Energy, a force that far exceeded any Energy Shaping Ninth Realm powers, being multiple tens of times stronger.
Using True Energy, a single step could take him to the heavens, a spectacular sight.
“Don’t tell me…” Ye Mo’s whole body trembled as he said, surprised, “Don’t tell me that is Cao Zheng? He has reached the True Energy Realm.”
Following that, the shadow of a man appeared in front of the entrance of the Qi Clan back garden.
This man looked young and dignified and was dressed differently. Carrying a long sword on his back, his whole body gave out an aura that caused everyone present to start getting frightened.
Walking to the entrance, his cold stare scanned around and instantly locked onto Ye Mo. He said, “Are you Ye Mo? I can’t believe you managed to defeat Cao Sanshi with the power of the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm. Exactly what technique did you master, or what sacred treasures did you take? And you dare to touch my woman and openly killed the reserve guards? How do you want to die?”
The moment Cao Zheng uttered the word “die,” Ye Mo could feel that the huge amount of energy he generated. He noted that there was a huge rush of energy crashing towards them.
Shoo, shoo!
All Ye Mo could feel was an unstoppable force pouring towards him. Blood arrows shot out, resembling thousands of horses galloping towards him as they attacked him.
Buzz!
Ye Mo could only feel unstoppable force pouring towards him. As the blood arrows shot out, Ye Mo had to take multiple steps backwards before steadying himself.
Merely a soundwave attack was enough to throttle Ye Mo enough that he started coughing out blood. A truly superior, unstoppable power!
Seeing what was happening, Xiao Cao immediately rushed forward in front of Ye Mo and cried, “You cannot kill him.”
Cao Zheng was in the True Energy Realm; he could easily kill Ye Mo with a wave of his arm.
“Xiao Cao, you are begging for mercy on his behalf?” Cao Zheng crossed his arms and said in disbelief, “Don’t tell me, something really happened between the two of you?”
“No, nothing happened between me and the young master. He was removing fire poison from my body that day. Nothing else happened,” Xiao Cao said immediately, fearing that Cao Zheng would just kill off Ye Mo in a flash of anger.
“Nothing?” Cao Zheng’s eyebrows twitched as he said with a calmer tone, “Xiao Cao, move aside. Now, the whole of Heaven’s Wall City knows about the relationship between you and Ye Mo. This is an extreme insult to me and is definitely not something that I can tolerate.”
“Cao Zheng, there is nothing going on between me and the young master. Do not kill him, I will explain everything clearly to them!” Xiao Cao started to plead.
