Chapter 184: One Against A Hundred

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

What is a warrior most afraid of?

A warrior is most afraid of being surrounded by a massive army of soldiers and horses, unable to utilize any fighting techniques.

This was not the case for Ye Mo. He had learned the Formation-Breaking Spear Technique, spear techniques for real war and battle. His Dragon Power was on a limitless level, and his defense was nearly impenetrable.

Facing hundreds of purple-eyed armored spirits, Ye Mo had no fear, knowing that at least half of the spirits were in the Energy Shaping Third Realm.

“Kid from the Qingyun League, some courage you have there, challenging hundreds of us alone.”

The leader among the armored spirits let out a flashing purple glow, giving off an unusual, sinister vibe.

“I have no regard for any of you. So long as there is no one here in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm, whatever numbers you have do not matter to me. Tell me, in this ancient city, are there any armored spirits in the True Energy Realm?”

Facing hundreds of armored spirits, Ye Mo was in no rush to initiate the attack. Ling’er had secretly told him that the essence of armored spirits in the True Energy Realm would allow her to recover her spiritual powers.

Ye Mo had always felt a sense of guilt towards Ling’er, so he naturally had to ask about the possibility of finding the item needed for her to recover her spiritual powers.

“When the Skylight Lord revives, he will kill off every one of you one by one. Haha! Any league member who steps into Skylight City faces death,” said the head armored spirit.

“Then I shall send all of you to your graves!”

After getting the answer he needed, Ye Mo launched his long spear towards the armored spirits–a simple yet unblockable strike.

“Will of the Blood Light Sword!” The leader armored spirit yelled out as a ray of bloody light exploded from his blood sword. Ye Mo could feel countless light blades around him, shooting towards him.

“Brother Ye Mo, this is an technique from the ancient realms–there seems to be countless blades of light, but only one ray of blade is shooting towards you,” Ling’er’s panicked voice rose from inside of him.

These were all previously ancient warriors who had come back to life without explanation. Almost every move from the warriors carried a sense of ancient aura with it.

Light blades from every direction pierced through the air, seemingly blocking off any escape route for Ye Mo.

“Qingyun League kid, aren’t you a wild fighter? We are all ancient warriors. In those times, be it skill or technique, we are of a much higher level than the present. A Will of the Blood Light Sword like mine is merely the most basic sword spirit. But it will be impossible for you to oppose it.” The leader of the armored spirits spoke confidently upon seeing Ye Mo stood rooted to the ground, not moving.

Ye Mo closed his eyes shut, clearing his inner thoughts. He had destroyed spells and wills before, but this Will of the Blood Light was indeed more powerful.

“A will is an illusion. If I clear my mind completely, the illusion is destroyed.”

After understanding that, Ye Mo felt the energy flow in his surroundings. His eyes remained closed.

All of a sudden, his deep-set pair of eyes opened and the long spear in his hand mede a direct sweeping strike on his right side.

Boom!

In a single hit, the yellow sand surrounding them exploded, causing a frightening sand wave to rise as the Blood Light Sword’s light blades disappeared from existence.

“Only a real light blade can cause a disturbance in the energy in the atmosphere. Seeing through your technique was too easy. Don’t tell me this is the power level of ancient fighters? I am not impressed. Give me everything you’ve got in your arsenal!” Ye Mo chuckled coldly after breaking the Will of the Blood Light Spear.

The sword and spear spirits of these ancient warriors all had unique traits. By training with them, Ye Mo could fully realize the potential of the realm that he belonged to.

The Will of the Sky Blood Spear might be strong, but that was the will that the Sky Blood Lady had discovered–no matter how well he unleashed it, it belonged to another person.

He had to realize his own will in order to unleash his highest level of strength.

“Everyone, kill!”

Upon witnessing Ye Mo easily escape from his Will of Blood Light, he knew that the man who stood before him was no normal mortal. With a wave of his huge sword, the armored spirits behind him charged at Ye Mo all at once, scattering layers of yellow sand, a frightening sight.

Ye Mo was immediately surrounded by the armored spirits, sounds of scattering footsteps continuously ringing in the surroundings, almost blocking him off completely.

Every attack from the spirits carried an unusually aggressive aura. Every time there was a collision, wild flurries of sand rose up, making it difficult to what was happening.

“Brother Yun Shan, look over there. Someone is trapped by the purple-eyed armored spirits,” Bai Yuntian said, pointing afar.

“I’m not sure which member from the league is being trapped by those spirits, but it is for the better. Let us take this time to get into Skylight City and meet up with Brother Xu Fu,” said Yun Shan.

The two of them moved like shadows towards the entrance of the Skylight City.

As the two of them entered the city, the helmet of an armored spirit flew up in the air, a huge hole seen at its abdominal. A spirit essence flew out.

That type of spirit’s spiritual essence was extremely weak and was never going to be enough for Ling’er to absorb. Only the spirit essence of the gold-eyed armored spirit, who belonged in the True Energy Realm, was going to be useful to her.

That type of essence from the golden-eyed armored spirit could be exchanged for 100,000 league points.

Outside Skylight City, the atmosphere was filled with sand, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening. One could only vaguely make out hundreds of purple-eyed armored spirits surrounding a black-haired teenager.

Little did they know that this teenager’s battling abilities were unlike others. However powerful the spirits’ wills were, they were sequentially destroyed, their attacks unable to have any effect on Ye Mo.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Any armored spirits that approached Ye Mo were sent back flying. Only one man, long spear held in hand, stood proudly.

“I have experienced all your displays of will. None of you belong to this world anyway, so allow us to give you one last ride back to where you came!”

Ye Mo moved with a lightning speed, with every spear strike piercing through the abdomen of each armored spirit as spirit essences flew out one by one.

Ye Mo stepped towards the leader of the armored spirits, who had just witnessed all of his underlings being killed one by one. His soul started to tremble in fear.

He had never seen such a scary warrior, even back in the ancient times.

“How did all of you revive? What is happening? What is the reason behind your revival? The Skylight Lord that you spoke of, where is his corpse?” Ye Mo held his long spear in his hand, asking again in a steady tone.

“Hehe, you really think I will tell you?”

The leader showed no fear of Ye Mo as he shouted, “When the Skylight Lord revives, all you members of the Qingyun League will die. Even those highly skilled members will be wiped out clean. The Skylight Lord was in the True Energy Realm before he passed away. He will surely massacre all of you.”

Ping!

A single spear strike through his chest, and the leader’s spirit essence flew out as well. Ye Mo took no time in cleaning up the battlefield before donning the armor and helmet and heading off for the Skylight City.

There was not a single person in Skylight City, which gave Ye Mo an eerie feeling, as if it was an empty city. Ye Mo did occasionally see a few members from the Qingyun League. These members’ power levels were either in the Energy Shaping Fourth or Fifth Realm, and Ye Mo even managed to see some in the Energy Shaping Seventh and Energy Shaping Eighth Realms.

Ye Mo was not the only one carrying out the mission–many highly skilled members had accepted the mission as well.

“Brother Ye Mo, the Skylight Lord should still be dead. If we go directly to the city center, perhaps we can find him and let me absorb his spirit essence before he revives. My spiritual powers will surely boost up a tier, and my body will mature and grow as well.”
