Xiao Cao’s face was filled with embarrassment. As she gently spoke, even her ears reddened.
Her cute voice immediately sent Ye Mo head over heels as he recalled Xiao Cao’s perfect body in his mind. His lower region showed an obvious response to her nakedness.
“Xiao Cao, the Unique Fire in your body has not been completely cleansed. Hold on for a while more!” Ye Mo coughed lightly, breaking the enchanting atmosphere.
Xiao Cao bit her lips and nodded, with sweetness pouring out from her heart as she looked at Ye Mo. “Yes, young master, but don’t worry about helping me cleanse the fire!”
Outside the tent, Zhan Jun and Manager Qi waited anxiously.
“Is there something happening inside? Xiao Cao’s fire poison has left even fighters in the Heaven’s Strength Realm hapless. How will it be possible for Ye Mo to remove the poison? Don’t tell me he’s taking advantage of Xiao Cao’s fire poison outbreak to do unspeakable things to her? I shall go in and take a look!” As he spoke, Zhan Jun walked over, preparing to lift the curtain and check on the situation.
Suddenly, a blinding light flame dropped from the sky, attacking Xiao Cao’s tent. Following that, a nine-feet long light blade glowed, intercepting the light flame.
“Be careful, everyone. Enemy attack!”
“They are the elites from the Cao Family!”
One of the men shouted upon seeing the enemy’s arrival, his voice piercing through the air, resounding through the whole of the forest.
Multiple shadows dropped down from the sky, each holding a weapon as they slowly approached them.
The 11 escort team members immediately rushed over, drawing their weapons as they faced the highly skilled fighters of the Cao Family.
“Damn it, the Cao Family members really came! This is terrible timing, too.”
Manager Qi frowned slightly as he spoke to the tent, “Ye Mo, how is Xiao Cao now? The Cao Family is here.”
“Haha, I knew from the start that Elder Ying’s group would travel in two separate groups!”
A loud laugh could be heard as a dark shadow shot out from mid-air, landing in front of the eleven escort team members.
“Cao Sanshi!”
Zhan Jun immediately identified their leader – he was one of the captains for the Kingdom’s imperial guard, with power levels at the peak of the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm.
“Haha, Zhan Jun, who would’ve thought that you would still remember me? Take out the map for the Transcendence Golden Body or else, everyone here shall die!”
Cao Sanshi was only 20-odd years old, his body tall and straight, his eyes eagle-like, giving off an extremely oppressive aura of authority. Standing in front of 11 Energy Shaping Realm elites, he was completely fearless.
“Cao Sanshi, you are merely a fighter in the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm. There are three Eighth Realm fighters here. Do you think you’ll be able to kill us?” Manager Qi said mockingly.
“Haha, so all these people are elites hired by the Qi Clan. A bunch of nobodies! Die!”
With a wave of his arm, he immediately retreated back, only for the Cao Clan elites behind him to draw the swords on their backs.
These people were all part of the Kingdom’s imperial guard and were extremely well coordinated after years of training. The group included tens of fighters all uniform in their movement.
These people gave off frightening auras asn they attacked, their long swords in their hands sending out multiple strikes and forming a giant Energy Mirror in the air. This mirror was huge, deadly, and powerful, a technique activated by the collective effort of more than 10 fighters.
“Sword Formation: Sky-trembling Giant Sword!”
The group of them roared loudly in unison as energy continuously poured out, channelling towards the mirror, which hovered in mid-air. As the mirror was awakened by them, it instantly exploded, giving off a silver glowing flash and brightening up the entire sky as light rays attacked the 11 Energy Shaping Realm fighters.
“What is this martial technique?”
“Look up!” One of the female fighters suddenly shouted loudly, only to see a giant silver sword slowly emerge from the Energy Mirror and descend onto the group. The giant sword was extremely frightening, measuring up to tens of yards tall and fifteen feet wide, its appearance similar to a giant mountain peak. Imbued with aura, it slowly descended down on the escort team.
Bang, bang, bang!
Piercing through the air and cutting down the surrounding trees, the giant sword’s descent caused its surroundings to be filled with sword auras. Leaves scattered all over.
“Haha, this is the guards’ combined technique, Sky-trembling Giant Sword. Let’s see all of you try to block this!” Cao Sanshi laughed in satisfaction, looking at the fighters in front of him with eyes of mockery and sinister.
“Sky Shock Boulder!”
“Endless Streams!”
“Sky-splitting Thunder!”
“Blazing Flames!”
Everyone unleashed their own martial techniques to block the giant energy sword. Besides the three Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters, the attacks from all the other fighters were completely ineffective against the giant sword.
This level of noise evidently shocked Ye Mo. Frowning, Ye Mo asked, “Manager Qi, what is going on outside?”
“Ye Mo, we are under attack by the Cao Family. Their men has unleashed a combined martial technique, and the escort team members are battling hard against them. However, their technique is way too strong. Besides the three Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters, the attacks from all the other fighters were completely ineffective against it,” said Manager Qi.
“Just hold on for a while more. I am currently helping Xiao Cao cleanse the fire poison, and I need a bit more time!”
Ye Mo pressed both hands on Xiao Cao’s abdomen, carefully controlling the Engulfing Force of the Rising Dragon Pillars as he continued to absorb the Unique Flame from her body.
“Young Master, you should go and assist those people outside first,” said Xiao Cao worriedly.
“Regardless of what happens outside, you are still the most important. I will only assist them outside once I make sure that all of the fire poison that was unleashed is completely removed. Remember, in my heart, you are the most important.”
The battle outside was already extremely hectic, filled with different martial techniques, light rays spraying across the sky, and wild winds spiralling. The commotion caused everything in the vicinity to turn into powder and dust.
The giant sword finally landed. Despite the escort team managing to half its attacking force, it was still extremely formidable. Sinking into the ground, it sent out cracks on the ground the width of a few arms in all directions and roared like thunder, the violent energy waves that it sent out unable to be blocked. Energy Shaping Sixth Realm fighters among the escort team dared not come into contact with the light blades, in fear of severe injuries if they did.
Pained screams could be heard continuously as a few Energy Shaping Sixth Realm fighters were struck by the trembling energy waves sent out by the giant sword. The waves acted like internal forces, directly invading their bodies.
“Haha, just a bunch of nobodies!” Seeing what was before him, Cao Sanshi could not help but laugh.
“These elites before me may only be in the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, but their combined martial technique is something that even Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighters have to be careful to avoid.”
“I shall destroy your combined efforts!” One of the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters charged towards the group of Sixth Realm fighters of the Cao Family with a giant hammer in hand.
As he swung his hammer, it carried a lightning aura with it, its electrifying force extremely threatening.
Cao Sanshi let out a cry, and a long sword appeared in his hand instantly. With the sword strikes’ force comparable to that of a million horses charging forward, Cai Shashi directed his attack towards the hammer.
Bang!
The collision between the sword and the hammer caused an explosion as an entire layer of the earth collapsed. Cao Sanshi completely crushed the burly man’s attack, with his sword’s blade striking towards the man’s body. With his shirt completely shredded, a stream of fresh blood spilled out as he was sent flying far backwards, landing heavily at the side, lifeless.
“There is still a world of difference between Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters. How can a bunch of nobodies like you compare to me?” Cao Sanshi said, unimpressed.
