The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1197 - 1198: Final Battle at Genius Gorge

In a mansion near the peak of Azure Dragon Peak, several Elders were gathered, including the Punishment chambers Master Zi Zhongnan, the Vice Hall Master Zixing, and the black-faced Elder who had tipped them off.

Sitting at the foremost position was the Third-Generation Ancestor, Zi Shan Ancestor.

At this moment, they were discussing their recent plan.

"You mean Ye Mo hasn’t been cultivating? Instead, he’s been chatting with a female disciple?"

Zi Shan Ancestor looked incredulous, utterly disbelieving of Ye Mo’s character. Could it be that he is confident in defeating Hsiao Wuqing?

"Yes, today I watched him the entire time. He hasn’t been cultivating. Do they possibly have a conspiracy?"

The black-faced Elder seemed worried.

"Don’t be afraid; even if they suspect us, what can they do? We just need to wait until ten days later. If Zi Ning can’t produce the person, then I’d like to see how they account to the Heavenly Dao."

Zi Shan Ancestor coldly said, "Even though the promise of a hundred million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills was only verbal, there’s no way we can hand them over. We can only fight a battle, and when Elder Long intervenes, if the old Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao makes a move, it will surely end in mutual destruction. At that time, we will contact the Three Great Divine Beast Families to launch another attack on the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan."

"Brilliant plan, Ancestor!"

Zixing cupped his hands, his face also showing a sinister expression, "Ancestor, once you are in power, I suggest you abolish Zi Ning’s position as Clan Leader and then kill her and her son together."

The thought of Zi Ning publicly crippling his arm filled him with anger. Even though losing an arm had no effect on him, it was still a disgrace.

"Once I truly hold power, all those who oppose me must die."

Zi Shan Ancestor coldly stated.

...

Time passed like sand through fingers, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

The day of the duel arrived, and Ye Mo, holding the Blood Fiend Spear, headed towards Genius Gorge.

The location of the duel between the two was indeed Genius Gorge.

Ye Mo’s Heavenly Snare Blood Spear had successfully been upgraded in Hou Qinglong’s hands; the Yin Yang Infinity Rod had smoothly become the spear’s shaft for the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear.

What surprised Ye Mo was that the artifact spirit of the Yin Yang Infinity Rod was not fused by Hong Ling but rather tamed by her, as it was as if a baby staying together with Hong Ling. Its shape was not humanoid but instead like a ball of flesh, with large, watery eyes, composed of the Water of Death Spring and Life Spring Eye, appearing very cute. Ye Mo even gave this artifact spirit the name Qiu Qiu.

Upon seeing Hong Ling, it acted as if it saw its mother, leaving Hong Ling a bit at a loss.

The new Heavenly Snare Blood Spear emerged, and Hong Ling tried to join forces with Qiu Qiu to enter the space of the Suppression Celestial Seal, but they were still knocked out by that fat artifact spirit.

However, Qiu Qiu’s strength was formidable, almost on par with Hong Ling. The divine light shot from the two springs could even attack that fat artifact spirit. If Qiu Qiu were to evolve further, it might have the power to defeat it.

When Ye Mo arrived at Genius Gorge, it was deserted, in stark contrast to the previous bustling event of the Lingwu genius battle.

"Ha ha, our little genius of the Lingwu Continent came quite early."

Just as Ye Mo landed on one of the platforms, a melodious voice suddenly echoed from the space.

Ye Mo turned to see Hsiao Wuqing descending from the sky, landing in front of him.

"Miss Hsiao invited me here for a duel. I’m afraid it’s not that simple."

Ye Mo calmly said.

"As expected of a Martial-cum-Inscription Dual Cultivation genius, it’s natural that I have other intentions for inviting you here to challenge. But if you want to know, you have to defeat me. If you can’t, then you won’t need to know, and your Ancient Azure Dragon Clan will have to compensate with a hundred million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills."

Hsiao Wuqing said with a face full of sycophancy.

"Miss Hsiao, if we are to fight, let’s begin then!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Ye Mo said as he suddenly swung the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear with great force. The Tomb Dragon Power surged forth like a mighty river, waves of endless killing intent, imbued with an overwhelming momentum, especially the reversal of yin and yang forces within this momentum.

"The Heavenly Snare Blood Spear, no wonder you dare to take up my challenge. But your cultivation level is too low; thinking of defeating me is not that easy."

Hsiao Wuqing immediately produced a giant ax in her hand and fiercely unleashed thousands of strikes towards Ye Mo. In an instant, the void was filled with Roars of Thousand Beasts; all the enormous beasts charged furiously like an army of thousands, attacking Ye Mo.

For hundreds of miles around, it was filled with beast and lightning. Any typical Wheel of Reincarnation Realm expert dragged into this would be utterly destroyed.

Ye Mo was taken aback by this sight; he hadn’t expected that a wise woman like Hsiao Wuqing would use a giant ax as a weapon. Moreover, this wasn’t any ordinary ax; its vicious aura was enough to make one’s heart leap into their throat upon feeling it.

"Hmph!"

Facing Hsiao Wuqing’s attack, Ye Mo let out a cold snort, stars shining in his eyes, suddenly swinging the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear. Taiji Blood Sha Spear Qi burst through the air, containing the Power of Yin and Yang, garnered from the convergence of two springs—death and life—fusing to form overwhelmingly powerful yin-yang energy. All of Hsiao Wuqing’s lethal moves were instantly suppressed.

With the Blood Fiend Spear in hand, Ye Mo seemed like a God of Killing, wielding a scythe of death, reaping everything. Wherever Taiji Blood Sha Spear Qi went, the void was severed layer by layer.

The world was filled with traces of rupture everywhere, with everything being swept away.

The charging foremost gigantic beasts all exploded, and all the lightning was split in two.

"What?"

Witnessing this, Hsiao Wuqing’s expression showed slight surprise. This move had truly reached the pinnacle of the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations, yet Ye Mo shattered it so easily, especially with that resilient spear light, sweeping through everything while the attacks from the Beast Thunder War Axe seemed as fragile as paper.

"Ye Mo, if you can withstand this move of mine, then I’ll concede defeat—Beast Thunder Sky-Splitting Slash!"

Hsiao Wuqing let out a fierce shout, raising her Beast Thunder War Axe high, as the golden axe expanded and grew like boiling molten metal, eventually becoming vast enough to obscure the heavens and overturn the earth.

Boom!

Then, Hsiao Wuqing suddenly swung, and a colossal Thunder Beast appeared in the air, its face ferocious, as big as a mountain, dazzling and blinding, tangled in countless lightning. Just a glance at it would plunge one into utter despair.

"Catching your move—what’s so hard about that?"

Looking at this move, Ye Mo was slightly surprised, yet he felt completely confident in taking it head-on.

The Immortal-Slaying Domain abruptly expanded, and He unleashed the power of ten dragon patterns. The atmosphere of dragons cascaded out of his body, majestically and overwhelmingly.

Ye Mo grasped the Blood Fiend Spear tightly, as Blood Fiend Energy converged upon the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear, radiating brilliance. With a fierce thrust, the entire space shuddered violently, and the colossal Thunder Beast instantly exploded.

With the Thunder Beast shattered, Hsiao Wuqing’s Beast Thunder War Axe flew out of her hand, accompanied by a strong impact, sending her delicate figure flying back.

Swoosh!

In the Xuan Aura-filled sky, a stream of light flashed, and just as Hsiao Wuqing was about to crash into the gorge, Ye Mo swiftly caught her.
