Chapter 183: Spirit of the Armor

The light blade was extremely creepy, morphing into a maroon-colored skeleton soldier. It pounced in their direction, a suspicious aura following the blade of wind. It was a frightening sight indeed.

“Don’t tell me that the skeleton is a blade spirit? A bloody skeleton blade spirit? It’s giving me the creeps!”

The blood skeleton soldier, almost towering over their heads, struck down on Ling Xue, who was the weakest among them.

Ling Xue swung the weapon in her hand, unleashing a flurry of wind frost. However, it disappeared immediately before it could even reach the blood skeleton soldier. As a light blade struck down, an even weirder sight occurred–the blood skeleton soldier’s body started to twist together before disappearing in an instant.

All that could be seen was Ye Mo’s long spear stabbing through the light blade. Even though he no longer had the Sky Blood Spear, with his Will of the Sky Blood Spear unable to be utilized as well, every spear strike of Ye Mo was still coated with some aura.

“A Sky Blood Spear? Who are you?”

The purple-eyed armored spirit was taken by surprise as he commented, “I can’t believe that I got to witness the Will of the Sky Blood on this day. Isn’t that a realm passed down by mythological history? Based on your attires, I’m guessing that all of you are from the Qingyun League. How are you related to the Sky Blood Lady? She is the only one who can use the powers of the Will of the Sky Blood.”

“Why should I tell you? The Sky Blood Lady is one of the strongest fighters in history. You were merely an Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter your previous life. Don’t try to act wise with me. Die!”

With a huge roar, Ye Mo launched his attack in lightning speed, his long spear instantly reaching the chest of the armored spirit.

Shink!

The long spear directly pierced through the armor and through the spirit’s entire body as well. However, no blood came out, and no sound of flesh being stabbed through was heard either.

“Ye Mo, look out!”

Ling Xue screamed at him in shock, only to see the armored spirit not at all affected by Ye Mo’s attack. Its huge sword pierced through the winds and hurled towards Ye Mo.

Clang!

The huge sword directly planted itself in Ye Mo’s limb but ended up only piercing through Ye Mo’s skin. A fine stream of blood flowed out, but the sword could not go in any deeper than skin level.

Everyone’s jaw dropped at this sight. Was Ye Mo a monster? An attack from an Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter barely injured him.

Ye Mo’s flesh had been showered by the Dragon Blood, spiking its level of defense that was impenetrable to attacks from an Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter.

“How is this possible? What kind of martial arts training did you practice to have such frightening levels of defense? Hurry and reveal your tactics now, or end up like the rest of the Qingyun League members, buried in this desert,” said the armored spirit.

“You can get my martial arts technique if you kill me. Come and try if you dare.”

Ye Mo exploded forward, slashing out his long spear and stabbing it through the abdomen of the armored spirit.

“Ahhh!”

The armored spirit let out a pained scream, the purple glow that it was releasing becoming darker and darker. Then, the armored spirit eventually became an empty set of armor, dropping onto the ground.

Ling Xue had secretly reminded Ye Mo that the weakness of the armored spirit was going to be at his abdominal area–that was where the spirit was located at, and stabbing through it meant the death of the spirit.

The other armored spirits witnessed how things unfolded and all of them turned their gazes towards Ye Mo simultaneously, charging at him with their huge swords in hand.

It did not matter how many of them were coming at him; attacks of the Energy Shaping Second Realm level posed no threat to Ye Mo.

Those standard purple-eyed armored spirits were either blade spirits or sword spirits–historical beings that had a mythical aura about them.

Unfortunately, it was Ye Mo of all people that they ran into. In just a few seconds, Ye Mo, utilizing his Formation-Breaking Spear Technique, Dragon Power techniques, and his Double Dragon Beads, left all the armored spirits crashing to the ground.

“Ye Mo, your power level is too scary.” Ling Xue, with a face of admiration, excitedly said, “Your power level is definitely not confined to the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm. You must be using some techniques to hide your power level. Among all the members in preparation in the Qingyun League, I think you are truly the best.”

“Being the best or not doesn’t matter to me. My only goal coming to the Qingyun League is to know that I am getting stronger every single day,” replied Ye Mo.

Among all the trainee members, a gentle lady, who was the only one in the Energy Shaping Third Realm, was also a formidable figure. However, based on Ye Mo’s present strength while he was fully unleashing the Dragon Power, victory was not guaranteed for either side.

With Ye Mo’s Sky Blood Spear split in half, his power indeed dropped down a tier.

Finding a Sky Blood Spear Handle was no easy feat–a poor quality one was not going to cut it, and a high quality one was highly rare to find.

Furthermore, Ye Mo did not dare to unleash too much of the Dragon Power. His true power level belonged in the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm–it would shock the world if he jumped ranks and killed an Energy Shaping Third Realm fighter.

That old fellow in the Qingyun league was definitely going to use him as a lab rat for research if he ever found out.

“Let us quickly collect the spirit essences–these are things that we can exchange for league points.”

The four of them prepared to leave after collecting the spirit essences–12 essences, split among the four of them. Each of them could exchange 300 league points for them, a significant number of points for a newbie.

“Ye Mo, we got the spirit essences and completed our mission. This was unexpectedly easy,” said Ling Xue excitedly as she toyed with the purple bundle of light in her palm.

“Ling Xue, if not for Ye Mo, there would have been no way the three of us would have completed the mission.”

“Hmph. That is because Ye Mo is strong.” Ling Xue hid the spirit essences and hugged at Ye Mo’s arm flirtatiously.

Whoosh!

Wild winds blew up again as another wave of sand was launched towards Ye Mo and his companions. The four of them waved the weapons in their hand, forming an atmospheric shield, preventing the yellow sand from reaching them.

“Just going to leave like that after killing all my subordinates?”

Another frighteningly sinister voice boomed as the four of them felt chills running down their spines. A man clad in grey armor rose from the sands.

This purple-eyed armored spirit’s eyes had a deeper purple glow compared to the previous spirits, and he shined brighter as well, with sand surrounding his armor.

He Ran was the strongest among all the purple-eyed armored spirits, his power placing him in the Energy Shaping Third Realm.

At the same time, hundreds of purple-eyed armored spirits rose from the yellow sands behind him, with sand flowing down their armor. Hundreds of purple eyes glowed up all at once.

“Damn. Didn’t our map report say that there wouldn’t be too many armored spirits outside of the perimeters of the City of Death?” Concern was written over Li Suifeng’s face.

“Hmph, perhaps we were given a false report.”

Ye Mo let out a cold laugh, a slight sense of ruthlessness appearing on his face. “Yun Shan really wants us dead–first giving us such a mission, then giving us a fake map. Unfortunately for him, his evil plan is destined to fail. Retreat quickly. I am going to use my full strength.”

“What? Full strength? You’re telling me that was not your full strength just now?”

“Yes. The armored spirits before us have power levels in either the Energy Shaping Second or Third Realm. They will not affect me much even if they are in large numbers. The three of you, return to the Qingyun League first and complete the mission. All of you being here may distract me trying to protect you,” Ye Mo said nonchalantly.

“Ye Mo, you are saving us once again.”

“Cut the nonsense. If you see me as a brother, stop wasting any more time!”

“Okay, we will let you massacre to your heart’s content!” The three of them did not delay further, returning to Qingyun League, knowing that they were not of much use being there.

“Unleash all of your blade and sword spirits!”

Ye Mo held his long spear in hand and let out a ferocious war cry. The Sky Blood Lady had the Will of the Sky Blood Spear, and he was about to unleash his own blade spirit.
