Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 218 - 216: The Final Sprint

Boom!

Xiao Ye unleashed all his strength, like a young emperor revived, his vast momentum soaring into the sky, piercing through heaven and earth, engulfing the Nine Heavens, sweeping across most of the County.

"Such astonishing power fluctuations, far beyond what an Innate Martial Artist could muster!" He Mo’s expression became somewhat grave.

The Great Emperor Domain in Yulan Domain is only a legend, its terrifying aspect is only realized when faced in person.

"Even if you are a Supreme Genius, today you must die!"

At this moment, the National Guardian General had not yet arrived, so He Mo made an ultimate killing move without giving Xiao Ye any chance to survive.

Majestically, He Mo’s entire body radiated dazzling light, fearsome suppression spreading like a tide, instantly boiling this area; the ground trembled incessantly, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Even Martial Artists who reached the Innate Realm Ninth Layer were affected by this pressure, feeling their bodies heavy, struggling to breathe, nearly crushed to the ground.

"God, what terrifying suppression, what sort of person has come to the County!" Inside the County, there was panic, everyone felt threatened.

However, this suppression could no longer affect Xiao Ye; he stood within the Great Emperor Domain, impervious to all techniques, not to mention his current strength was already comparable to that of a First Transition Xuanwu Realm martial artist.

"Die for me! Heaven Burning Slash!"

Xiao Ye roared, his robe fluttering wildly in the fierce wind, his eyes filled with a shocking murderous intent, infusing nine and a half parts of the Flame True Intent into the Flame Saber, utterly insane.

At that moment, one thought dominated his mind—to kill the person who had harmed his mother.

Boom!

A vast, nearly thousand-zhang long Flame Blade Light pierced through the void, splitting the heavens in half, turning into a fire dragon and pouncing towards He Mo.

Relying on profound strength as the foundation, blending nine and a half parts of the Flame True Intent, the Heaven Burning Slash he deployed was reputedly Xiao Ye’s strongest technique to date, its power even surpassing the boundaries of a Fifth Grade Combat Technique.

Boom!

He Mo raised his hand to tear the sky, clashing with the incoming Flame Blade Light, brilliant light illuminating the entire sky, making the sun above fade.

A Superior Innate Limit, a Supreme Genius standing in the Great Emperor Domain, one was the second-ranked Mystic Martial practitioner of Black Dragon Country, their battle fluctuations too strong, countless buildings collapsed, creating a real tempest.

Although Xiao Ye’s current strength could compare with a First Transition Xuanwu practitioner, he was still a lot weaker compared to a mighty opponent like He Mo.

Bang!

Xiao Ye was fiercely blown away by He Mo’s powerful palm strike, continuously coughing blood, his muscles exploded, blood flowing profusely.

"Ah!"

Xiao Ye’s hair wildly fluttering, he surged from the ground to the sky, disregarding his injuries, ascended to the heavens, then once again slashed downward, his face full of madness.

"What! In so short a time, this kid has grown this powerful!" He Mo was shocked.

He should know, his cultivation had reached the Third Transition Xuanwu Realm, second only to the King, yet he had only managed to heavily injure Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye still had strength left to counterattack.

It must be known, Xiao Ye had not yet reached the pinnacle of Xuanwu!

Being able to battle a Third Transition Xuanwu Realm practitioner while still in the Innate Realm, this was simply a fantasy!

"This kid’s potential is too terrifying, if I let him grow, even I can’t handle him!" He Mo inwardly alarmed, his murderous intent nearly materializing.

Whoosh!

He Mo spat out a few hundred zhang long Sword Light, carrying the momentum to destroy all things, shooting through the air towards Xiao Ye.

Puchi!

Once again, Xiao Ye was heavily injured, many parts of his body revealing chilling white bones, luckily his physical body’s healing power was astonishing, otherwise any other person would have long been dead.

"Wudao, Wufa, I was wrong in the past to have neglected you in my pursuit of martial arts, today I will avenge you, keep watching!"

He Mo’s eyes bloodshot, he charged fiercely towards Xiao Ye, sealing that part of the void, forming a vacuum zone.

Boom!

In a blink, as the sky violently trembled, a majestic forceful light beam fell from the sky, harshly striking towards He Mo.

Immediately following, a handsome and majestic general clad in golden armor stood in front of Xiao Ye, his expression extremely stern.

Evidently, the National Guardian General had arrived.

"Who are you, daring to lay a hand on our Black Dragon Country’s Supreme Genius, aren’t you afraid of the King’s crushing retaliation?" bellowed the National Guardian General.

He Mo’s body halted, blocking the majestic forceful light column, his face full of reluctance.

Just missed by that much!

If only the National Guardian General had been delayed a bit longer, or if Xiao Ye had been a bit weaker, he could have killed Xiao Ye and avenged his two sons.

"Consider it your good luck!" Knowing that he could no longer kill Xiao Ye now, He Mo glanced at Xiao Ye lying on the ground, stepped hard, and swiftly flew away.

"I must kill you!" Xiao Ye gazed at the retreating figure of He Mo, his face fierce, yet powerless to pursue further.

National Guardian General furrowed his brow slightly, not pursuing further but instead walked over to Xiao Ye to feed him a healing Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

"Mother!"

Xiao Ye activated the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, his mobility slightly restored, and he immediately scrambled up and threw himself at Luo Meilan’s side, his soul shaking violently, not even daring to check if Luo Meilan was alive or dead.

What would he tell his father if his mother was dead?

"Xiao Ye, calm down, your mother isn’t dead, she is wearing a Defense Type Xuan Artifact," National Guardian General shouted.

"Not dead?" Xiao Ye’s body trembled, and he hurriedly checked, indeed finding that Luo Meilan still had a faint breath.

Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he had found it timely and had Luo Meilan wear the armor from the Xuan Artifact Battle Armor, otherwise, the outcome would undoubtedly be grim.

Xiao Ye took out a common elixir and administered it to Luo Meilan.

After all, Luo Meilan was not a Martial Artist; taking too strong an elixir might do more harm than good.

After doing all this, Xiao Ye, dragging his heavy feet, picked up Xiao Fan who was bawling nearby.

Xiao Ye quickly examined him and found that, other than some scrapes, Xiao Fan was unscathed, which finally put his mind at ease.

In an instant, Xiao Ye stumbled and fell to the ground, his complexion as pale as paper.

It had to be said that while the injury he sustained this time was not fatal, it was severe, and once relieved, his condition started to worsen.

"Great General, that man in the gray robe was He Mo, wasn’t he?" Xiao Ye took a deep breath, suppressing his condition to speak.

The National Guardian General remained silent for a moment, then spoke, "The cultivation of that man in the gray robe has reached the Third Transition Xuanwu Realm; only He Mo in the Black Dragon Country could reach such a level."

The man in the gray robe wore a silver mask, and given his intent to kill Xiao Ye, the biggest suspect was He Mo. Of course, it could not be ruled out that it was an assassin sent from one of the other Twelve Countries of the Yulan Domain.

"He Mo!" Xiao Ye’s fists cracked with the sound of clenching.

Too dangerous!

Had he not discovered it early and saved Luo Meilan in time, he would be living in perpetual guilt for the rest of his life.

Even now, recalling the event still sent shivers down his spine.

"Third Transition Xuanwu Realm, is it? Once I reach Xuanwu, cultivate the Four Profound Treasure Technique, absorb the Martial Arts True Intent of senior Old Madman, and possess two Xuandans, I will definitely be able to kill you!" A terrifying murderous intent flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes.

A dragon has its reverse scale, touch it and you will die; for Xiao Ye, his family was his reverse scale.

The fluctuations of the battle quickly attracted many Martial Artists, including many from the Xiao Alliance.

"Rocky!"

"Old Grace!"

...

Seeing the Xiao Alliance Martial Artists who died on the spot, the people from the Xiao Alliance rushed over in grief, and a heavy atmosphere spread.

Xiao Ye silently watched all this, then his gaze fell on those mutilated corpses.

He needed to remember these people; they had died protecting Luo Meilan and Xiao Fan, otherwise, he would have found their corpses by the time he arrived here; he owed these people a debt of gratitude.

"I will avenge your deaths!" With each passing life, Xiao Ye clenched his fists tighter.

Then, Xiao Ye and Luo Meilan were taken back to the Xiao Mansion.

Unable to wait for a slow recovery, Xiao Ye immediately took a Green Luo Fruit; under its powerful effects, his injuries fully healed in just half an hour, and his strength returned to its peak.

However, Luo Meilan, not being a cultivator and having a frail constitution, had still not woken up.

While blaming himself, Xiao Ye seized every moment to cultivate, striving to reach Xuanwu as soon as possible.

"Brother Xiao Ye, I have found out," one day, the National Guardian General rushed over and interrupted Xiao Ye’s cultivation.

"A few months ago, He Mo passed the position of Sect Hierarch to the Vice Sect Hierarch, separated from the Sun and Moon Sect, and then disappeared," the National Guardian General said.

A cold gleam surged in Xiao Ye’s eyes; he was now sure that the man in the gray robe was He Mo!

He Mo, having left the Sun and Moon Sect, his subsequent actions would no longer involve the sect nor violate the edicts of the King, so they would not bring any disaster to the Sun and Moon Sect; this action was reasonable.

A person with nothing to lose is not afraid of a person with shoes, and moreover, He Mo is hiding in the shadows, making the situation very disadvantageous for Xiao Ye. Besides protecting himself, he also needed to protect the members of the Xiao Alliance; his targets were too big.

"As of now, the only plan is to have everyone in the Xiao Alliance stay within the mansion and not go out," Xiao Ye quickly convened a meeting with the three Clan Leaders, then made the arrangements.

The National Guardian General stationed himself in the very center of the mansion, releasing Martial Arts True Intent daily to monitor the surroundings.

Xiao Mansion, due to the sudden attack, fell into a state of panic, filled with an ominous atmosphere; everyone felt insecure.

An unknown enemy is the most terrifying, especially an enemy on the verge of reaching Xuanwu; nobody knew where he could be hidden, ready to pounce at any moment to take their lives.

"Only by reaching Xuanwu can I break this stalemate!" Xiao Ye felt a tremendous pressure in his heart, feeling the heavy burden on his shoulders.

He couldn’t always rely on the National Guardian General.

"When the day I emerge from seclusion arrives, I will surely be a Xuanwu Realm powerhouse!" After visiting Luo Meilan, Xiao Ye began his final sprint, getting ever closer to the Xuanwu Realm.
