Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 228 - 226: Defeating He Mo

He Mo’s eyes shone with a cold and fierce light, his expression hideous.

No matter how he guessed, he never expected the intruder to be Xiao Ye, the very person he most wanted to kill. Furthermore, Xiao Ye’s strength had become so formidable.

Staring at He Mo, Xiao Ye’s expression was incredibly solemn.

He had just made his move at his peak strength, yet he couldn’t even force He Mo back, which clearly showed the latter’s strength surpassed his own by a considerable margin.

Xiao Ye’s plan for a surprise attack had failed.

Pressure!

Immense pressure!

If he didn’t break through now, he might die here today.

"Hmph, He Mo, aren’t you curious how I knew about this place?"

Externally, Xiao Ye remained expressionless, seeking to stall for time, while his right hand behind his back furiously rotated the Four Profound Treasure Technique, refining the Primordial Stone in his palm and suppressing its energy fluctuations to the minimum.

However, without the aid of the Time Tower, his speed of refining the Primordial Stone greatly decreased, prolonging the time needed for his breakthrough.

This was a gamble with life on the line!

He Mo seemed not to notice Xiao Ye’s subtle move and said with confidence, "I am indeed curious. This place is extremely hidden, and there is the Heavenly Passage Array I set up. How did you get in?"

In He Mo’s view, Xiao Ye was trapped with no escape to heaven and no entrance to earth, with life and death at his command. He was also very worried that beside Xiao Ye, someone else might have discovered this place.

Thus, He Mo did not immediately take action but sought to pry some information out of Xiao Ye.

"What if I said I bumped into you by chance and followed you here, would you believe it?" Xiao Ye said with a slight smile.

"Followed me here?" He Mo frowned slightly.

"Then how did you bypass the Heavenly Passage Array? The array has the same power level as the one who set it; you couldn’t have passed unscathed. Did someone help you?"

"So, that’s it. As long as I can kill He Mo, I can naturally get through the array." Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye’s mouth curved up with a smile.

He Mo was really quite foolish, revealing the matters of the array himself.

Of course, he was well aware that He Mo was so carefree because he was confident he could kill him. After all, a dead man, knowing too much, is still a dead man.

"Hmph, you can be proud now, but you’ll cry when I break through."

Xiao Ye sneered inwardly, then casually fabricated some words to talk in circles with He Mo, dragging out the time. Meanwhile, he silently refined Mid-grade Primordial Stones as the power within his two Xuandans gradually increased.

"Little bastard, aside from you, is there anyone else who knows about this place?"

After a lot of probing with no useful information, irritation welled up in He Mo, and so he went straight to the point.

"So, this is what he wanted to know."

Realization struck Xiao Ye, followed by a stream of ambiguous lies that threw He Mo into confusion, his face full of bewildered fog.

"Little bastard, is there anyone else who knows about this place? Tell me now!" He Mo completely lost his patience, his body surging with terrifying power fluctuations, his face darkly fixated on Xiao Ye as a tangible murderous intent swept forth.

Boom boom boom!

At that moment, Xiao Ye’s body shook, as an overwhelming suppression unfurled.

Inside Xiao Ye, two Xuandans emitted blazing light, reaching a critical point for breakthrough, with Xiao Ye no longer able to suppress the surge.

"I’m about to break through!" Xiao Ye was invigorated, his heart filled with both shock and joy.

Feeling Xiao Ye’s power rising rapidly, He Mo was initially stunned, then boundless fury filled his heart, his eyes shooting out flames of anger.

"Little bastard, you dare to play me!" He Mo roared.

Only now did he realize that Xiao Ye had been deliberately stalling for time to cultivate.

With a stack of old and new grudges, He Mo was on the verge of madness.

"Ah! Little bastard, today I will make sure you cannot live even if you wish to, nor can you die even if you want to!" He Mo howled, his boiling power erupting like magma, causing the cave to start collapsing.

Boom!

Like a meteor, He Mo charged out, throwing a heavy punch at Xiao Ye, causing the void to tremble violently, absolutely terrifying.

"What a pity, just a bit more to go!" As He Mo attacked, Xiao Ye had no choice but to halt his cultivation and faced the fight with one fist clenched and the Flame Saber in hand.

The battle fluctuations between the two Xuanwu Realm powerhouses were too strong, causing most of the cave to collapse, with only a few spaces strong enough to withstand such forces.

Xiao Ye, with his current strength, was still significantly inferior to He Mo, and even the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist made it hard to contend.

After clashing for over a hundred moves, he was blasted back by He Mo, his body slamming into the ground, many of his bones broken, blood flowing freely, and the Flame Saber lost somewhere in the disarray.

"Break through for me now!"

Xiao Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, ignoring his injuries, took out another Mid-grade Primordial Stone, and desperately started refining with his cultivation technique.

Boom boom boom!

His previously stalled realm began to rise again, on the brink of a breakthrough, the two Xuandans bursting with unparalleled radiance.

"Hmph, daring to cultivate right in front of me, you’re really courting death!" The cold glint in He Mo’s eyes intensified as he attacked Xiao Ye again.

Actually, He Mo was shocked by Xiao Ye’s strength.

Xiao Ye’s true cultivation was only at the Early Stage of Second Transition Xuanwu, which was extraordinarily against the heavens, as he could exhibit strength comparable to that of the Third Transition Xuanwu Middle Stage.

What would happen if Xiao Ye really makes a breakthrough?

"This little bastard’s talent is too terrifying, just ascended to Xuanwu and already so powerful, if he grows further, even I won’t be able to kill him, he must die today!"

He Mo’s power was like a torrent, his violent offensive forced Xiao Ye to retreat repeatedly.

"Fortunately, before He Mo arrived, two Xuandan breakthroughs to the Early Second Transition stage allowed me to barely hold on and not be killed." Xiao Ye silently felt fortunate, transforming all his power into defense.

Xiao Ye’s combat style was not seeking merit but avoiding demerits, which helped him avoid a lot of damage.

"Just hold on a little longer, and I will be able to break through!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes grew increasingly bright, the power bursting from the two Xuandan within his body grew stronger, his aura surged like waves, gradually blocking He Mo’s attacks and stopping his retreating figure.

"I must not let this kid break through!" He Mo was extremely astonished in his heart, and his attacks became even more fierce.

Right at this moment, Xiao Ye’s aura suddenly soared to an extreme point, then a terrifying fluctuation shot up into the sky, penetrating the Nine Heavens and breaking open the earth above, one could see the white clouds in the sky just by looking up.

This terrifying fluctuation pushed He Mo back a few steps, a hint of panic arose in his heart, making him very uneasy.

Boom!

Xiao Ye walked out from the ruins, radiating a vast aura, with an irrepressible joy on his face.

He had finally succeeded!

The two Xuandan within his body had reached the Second Transition Middle Stage level and burst forth simultaneously, drastically increasing his strength. Dealing with an opponent at the Late Stage of Third Transition Xuanwu was definitely not a problem.

At this moment he felt incredibly confident, that absolute strength gave him full confidence to face any opponent.

Swoosh!

Two cold lights shot from Xiao Ye’s eyes, aiming straight at the somewhat nervous He Mo.

"He Mo, didn’t you enjoy beating me up just now? Now it’s my turn." Xiao Ye’s expression was icy.

He was determined to completely eliminate He Mo as a threat today, so that he could then travel to the True Spirit Continent with peace of mind.

He Mo’s face was full of caution. After Xiao Ye’s breakthrough, it was unclear to him how strong Xiao Ye had become, but he knew for certain that Xiao Ye wouldn’t be weaker than him.

"This little bastard’s cultivation is clearly weak, why is his strength so great!" He Mo roared inwardly.

Xiao Ye’s existence seemed to be meant to shatter common sense, it was too abnormal.

"Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist!"

Shouting loudly, Xiao Ye did not hesitate to throw a punch at He Mo, unleashing the power of both Xuandan within him.

Boom boom boom!

Instantly, six flaming Domineering Dragons and six yellow Domineering Dragons roared out, collapsing the void and shaking the heaven, submerging He Mo. freewebnoveℓ.com

When Xiao Ye deployed the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist after the breakthrough, its power had increased by at least five times compared to before the breakthrough.

Facing such a horrifying attack, He Mo was utterly shocked and hurriedly exploded with all his strength to resist.

"Hmph!" Xiao Ye snorted coldly, swinging his fists, continually unleashing the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist.

With two Xuandan as his backup, his power was nearly limitless.

Boom boom boom!

With successive explosions, He Mo’s face turned pale, and he suffered a heavy blow, sent flying powerfully into the mud.

"Hmph, He Mo, time to die!" Xiao Ye said, his expression ruthless as he walked toward He Mo.

He had killed two of He Mo’s sons, and He Mo had nearly killed his mother. The hatred between them was irreconcilable, so naturally, there was no need for words now.

"Ha ha... I never thought that I, He Mo, along with my three sons, would end up dying at your hands." He Mo suddenly let out a miserable laugh, his blood-strewn face looking hideously gruesome.

"Do you know what I have in my hand?" He Mo suddenly took something out of his chest.

Xiao Ye looked closely and realized it was a palm-sized Jade Talisman, somewhat different from the Sealing Jade Token.

"What are you trying to say?" Xiao Ye frowned slightly.

"This object is a Sound Transmission Jade Talisman made by the Sun and Moon Sect, only their Secret Technique can activate it.

"I carry it with me to prevent strong Martial Artists from discovering the Yuan Vein here. If I can’t have it, nobody else should either," He Mo’s eyes revealed a hint of scheming.

"Drop it!"

He Mo’s last words filled Xiao Ye with confusion, yet he had a bad premonition and quickly rushed towards He Mo.

"Xiao Alliance of Yuanfeng County in Black Dragon Country has discovered a Yuan Vein that can extract a thousand Mid-grade Primordial Stones. Everyone, carry a Sealing Jade Token left by me as a token, and relay this message to the Kings of the Thirteen Countries of the Yulan Domain."

Just at that moment, a light burst from He Mo’s hand, illuminating the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman. His lips moved, speaking these words, and then he looked at Xiao Ye with eyes full of mockery and pity.

"Little bastard, whether true or false, I believe the Kings of the Thirteen Countries of the Yulan Domain should be tempted, right?"

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye’s complexion instantly turned extremely pale, and a raging flame of anger swept through his entire body.
