“Don’t worry, Yue Yue,” another clear voice rang out. “I”ll save you.”
When Xiao Yue heard that voice, her heartbeat sped up, her eyes turned moist. An inexplicable sense of joy rose in her heart. Her face remained impassive.
Escorted by the two men in black, she slowly walked out of the cave. She gazed at Ye Mo and spoke indifferently, “You should leave. Even after handing them the Desolate Ancient Pearls, they still won’t release me.”
“How can I return without you?” Ye Mo said. “Even if the price is my life, I’ll still rescue you!”
He could see that the two men in black were holding their weapons to Xiao Yue’s neck. It made him anxious. He spoke to the leader, “We’ll make the exchange at the same time.”
“Haha, Ye Mo, you think too highly of yourself,” the leader said. “If you want her, give me the Desolate Ancient Pearls first. If not, I’ll kill her right here.”
“Wait, I’ll give you the pearls!” Ye Mo clenched his teeth and agreed.
But just as Ye Mo was about to hand over the Desolate Ancient Pearls, miserable wails sounded far away. Xiao Yue was surrounded by a green mist and the two men in black around her were attacked by the poisonous gas.
When Ye Mo saw it, he put away his Desolate Ancient Pearls before unfurling his energy wings and shooting straight toward Xiao Yue. In the blink of an eye, he landed before her. He laughed before saying, “Haha, people of the First Heaven Society, looks like your plan has failed.”
“Damn it! The Sealing Charm didn’t work against her?” the leader cried. “Get them!”
At her command, more than 10 men in black leaped into the air before charging toward Ye Mo and Xiao Yue.
Facing ten men out for blood, Ye Mo had no sympathy. His eyes turned cold.
“Sky Blood Cycle!”
He unleashed the first technique of the Sky Blood Spear. A massive blood tornado lashed out at their opponents.
The attack clearly displayed the might of a mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon. The air itself started twisting as the massive, bloody tornado moved forward.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
In an instant, the men in black were pulled into the bloody tornado and torn apart. Blood splattered everywhere, chunks of meat rained down on the valley beneath.
When the new disciples hiding nearby witnessed the attack, they gasped in shock. The men in black were all at the Spirit Devour Realm, but Ye Mo killed them with one move.
Even Xiao Yue was stunned when she saw the attack. She hadn’t expected Ye Mo to be that powerful now. She gazed at him in silence.
After that one attack, only three survivors were left.
“The disciple of the Asura Palace is indeed powerful,” the leader said calmly. “And the young madam is quite remarkable as well. The Sealing Charm really didn’t work on you?”
“You think you’ve won?” Xiao Yue asked. “The young society head’s long suspected that you people would make a move against the disciples of Door of Desolation in the Desolate Ancient World. I was sent here to kill all of you. I’ve just been waiting for the right time to carry out my mission. Well, it’s time to reveal your identity, leader.”
She unfurled her energy wings and formed two green poison blades with her hands before charging at the three survivors.
A sword appeared in the hand of the leader.
“You want to know my real identity?” she asked. “You’ll need to pay a price for it. Today, one of you will die and the other will be staying behind as a hostage. Everyone, come out. Activate the First Heaven Formation!”
Black-robed warriors hidden all over the valley leaped out and charged at Xiao Yue.
Hum!
Xiao Yue’s twin poison blades danced like a fluttering butterfly, and moved as fast as lightning. They shot out and pierced through the charging men in black, killing them with poison.
The two blades danced in the air, moving as if they were an extension of Xiao Yue’s own hands.
10 new Spirit Devour Realm men in black charged out at Xiao Yue again. In an instant, she formed 10 blades of grass and sent the grasses out to slit the throats of her attackers.
In the blink of an eye, all the men in black were killed.
Ye Mo saw that Yue Yue was perfectly capable of controlling her Poison Curse, and smiled.
Xiao Yue’s attacks wasn’t particularly powerful, but the Sky Phoenix Poison Curse Power was extremely terrifying. Even the men in black, all Spirit Devour Realm experts, were killed with a single touch.
Xiao Yue’s control over the power was extremely firm. Not a single one of her attacks missed their target.
“What terrifying technique,” the leader said. “So you’re the owner of a Sky Phoenix Poison Curse Physique. Looks like I can’t afford to keep you alive.”
She finally moved. She reached out with her slender arm. Wielding a sword, she slashed at Xiao Yue.
When Xiao Yue saw her attack, she immediately recalled the poisonous blades to block it.
Bang!
Xiao Yue was sent flying by the blow. A massive green mist erupted from Xiao Yue’s body and swirled around the leader.
“Hmph! This little poison won’t be able to hurt me!” As she spoke, a clump of flame ignited the mist. When the leader was done dealing with the flaming mist, she saw that Ye Mo was already beside Xiao Yue, helping her up. The two stood side by side, ready for an attack.
“This is it for today.” The leader knew when things weren’t going her way. She turned and started to fly away. “The next time we meet, one of us will die.”
In the blink of an eye, she was gone.
Ye Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the leader running. But before he could speak, Xiao Yue grabbed his shoulder.
Ye Mo suddenly lost control over his body. Just like that, Xiao Yue was able to drag him to the depth of the valley.
Ye Mo did not try to resist. He gazed at Xiao Yue silently, allowing her gentle power to drag him forward.
Finally, she brought him to the end of the valley, the top of a mountain.
Xiao Yue stood in front of him with her back facing him.
“Yue Yue, we finally meet again,” Ye Mo said in excitement. “When I heard that you were captured by the people from First Heaven Society, I was very anxious.”
When Xiao Yue heard that, she turned around and removed her veil. Once again, Ye Mo got a good look at her face.
The imprint of the Sky Phoenix Poison Curse was no longer on her face. All that was left on her face was sleek, fair skin.
Her lips, her teeth, everything about her was so beautiful and perfect, as if she was manufactured in heaven.
Ye Mo blanked out at what he saw. This was the first time he had gotten a good look at Xiao Yue’s face.
“I meant for them to capture me,” Xiao Yue said. “I was waiting for an opportunity to kill their leader.”
“So I spoiled your plan?” Ye Mo felt guilty.
Xiao Yue slowly walked toward Ye Mo and gently caressed his face and said, “How is your life with Mu Qing?”
“Yue Yue, how did you know about that?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.
“Don’t worry. I’m not mad. On the contrary, I need to thank her for appearing in your life!”
