The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1046 - 1047: Evil Demon Cultivator

However, the deeper they went, the thicker the wraith energy became. If it weren’t for the Evil-Repelling Bell they had refined, strengthening their bodies, they would not have been able to reach this point.

Ye Mo and Xiao Yue kept delving in, only to find that the Mountain of Wraith was even more dangerous than they had imagined.

The further they went, the darker it got, as if countless evil demons surrounded them, watching Ye Mo, ready to leap out at any moment to annihilate Ye Mo and Xiao Yue completely.

"Ye Mo, it might be really dangerous if we go any deeper."

At this moment, Xiao Yue pulled Ye Mo back and said hesitantly.

"Yueyue, didn’t we come here to find the fountain? You can’t catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den."

Ye Mo replied.

"But."

Xiao Yue was just about to speak when Ye Mo stopped her and said earnestly, "Yueyue, I know what you mean. I’m also afraid of losing you, but this time, if we cannot obtain the fountain, not only will your Profound Heart Sect be destroyed, but even my Five-Element League will face destruction. As leaders, we must do this."

"Ye Mo!"

Xiao Yue murmured softly.

The two gazed at each other deeply, and after a long moment, their lips slowly met.

Boom!

Just as they were savoring their affection, a sudden roar erupted as a massive evil demon appeared.

This demon, living in the Wraith Kingdom, was a man in a purple robe, his body exuding a wraith energy so thick it even covered his robe.

As he walked within the Mountain of Wraith and discovered Ye Mo and Xiao Yue, he glared at them, "Humans, how dare you intrude into the depths of the Mountain of Wraith? Aren’t you afraid of death?"

Ye Mo and Xiao Yue were both startled, especially Xiao Yue, who blushed slightly as they had been caught kissing by none other than a demon.

Nevertheless, the interruption of their tender moment thoroughly angered Xiao Yue.

"Who are you?"

Ye Mo released Xiao Yue and looked at the man in the purple robe, asking calmly.

"Evil Demon Cultivator of the Wraith Kingdom!"

The demon began sizing up Ye Mo and Xiao Yue, seemingly assessing their strength, "I’ve just entered the Mountain of Wraith, unexpectedly encountering two humans. Usually, in a month of guarding this mountain, it’s rare to see a single human, yet today I found two. Our Evil Demon Cultivators gain great power by consuming human essence and blood. I’m truly fortunate today."

As he spoke, the demon already began to attack. A purple long whip cracked the air, sweeping directly towards Ye Mo and Xiao Yue.

This whip, like an ancient divine whip, surged with purple energy, creating roaring waves of power.

Feeling this attack, Ye Mo realized that this fellow’s strength was at most at the Wheel of Reincarnation Fourth Transformation, though it surpassed Hua Qiangu in cultivation.

"Let me!"

Xiao Yue was utterly furious. They had finally found a moment of peace to enjoy each other’s company, only to have it disrupted.

Waving the Six Daos Reincarnation Scepter, she immediately dissolved the demon’s wraith long whip. At the same time, the power inside the poisonous curse condensed into a spear, directly piercing the demon’s vital point to kill him completely.

Earlier, Xiao Yue’s strength had not reached the Wheel of Reincarnation Fourth Transformation, but with the Six Daos Reincarnation Scepter’s upgrade to an Immortal Artifact, she now had the power to slay those at the Wheel of Reincarnation Fourth Transformation.

"I’ll kill you!"

The demon had not expected his intent to kill Ye Mo to be thwarted by a woman who seemed weaker than him, yet she managed to fend off his attack and attempt to kill him, astonishing him greatly.

No matter how the demon attacked, Xiao Yue effortlessly countered it.

The Six Daos Reincarnation Scepter was distinct from the Six Daos Reincarnation Sword. The Six Daos Reincarnation Longsword was an offensive weapon, while the Six Daos Reincarnation Scepter combined attack and command, boasting greater power.

With a single swing, it wiped out all evil effortlessly.

The more the demon fought, the more he panicked. No matter what he tried, he couldn’t breach Xiao Yue’s attacks.

"How is this woman so powerful?"

The Evil Sovereign trembled as the whip lashed the air, and suddenly space trembled, a purple glow enveloping both Xiao Yue and Ye Mo, forming the demon’s field.

This was the Wraith Field, used by demons who cultivate through absorbing wraith energy, capable of trapping opponents with wraith energy.

Instantly, Xiao Yue’s body was ensnared by chains of wraith energy.

"Boy, you’re the one I’ll kill first!"

The demon, realizing he couldn’t kill Xiao Yue, trapped her and aimed to kill Ye Mo, consume his essence and blood to strengthen himself, then defeat Xiao Yue.

He roared, wraith energy forming chains to trap Ye Mo, while his wraith long whip formed into a purple arc, flashing through space, lashing toward Ye Mo with condensed power.

"Courting death!"

Ye Mo’s body shivered, breaking the wraith chains instantly, as he unleashed the Immortal-Slaying Domain, suppressing the Wraith Field.

"You think you’re strong enough to kill me first, consume my essence to power up? But you didn’t expect my strength to be even more formidable."

Ye Mo attacked with full force, the Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear piercing through, striking the demon’s chest, the surrounding wraith energy repelled by the spear’s evil qi.

"How can you be so strong? You haven’t reached the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm, yet you can defeat me?"

The demon screamed, his body dissolving into purple mist, escaping into the distance.

Ye Mo watched the purple mist without pursuing. Above him, the Devil Refining Gourd appeared, ready to absorb, when from deeper within the Mountain of Wraith, a fierce power swept in, absorbing the mist.

Soon after, Ye Mo saw five figures appear in the distance, the leading man grasping the purple mist in his hand as it flickered, trying to flee.

"To encounter a fleeing Evil Demon Cultivator."

The leader opened his mouth wide, swallowing the purple mist, murmuring, "Our Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion is responsible for exploring the Mountain of Wraith, slaying excess demons. An escaping demon, slain by others of our disciples at Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion?"

Ye Mo recognized them from earlier, a group training in an open valley, wearing two types of outfits, one of which these five wore.

Ye Mo quickly took Xiao Yue’s hand, activating the Chu Assassination Domain to hide their presence, opening the Eye of the Divine Beast to eavesdrop on the group’s intentions.
