The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 919 - 920: Battle of Honor

The cultivation journey in the Fourth Layer of the Dragon Prison ended after two days.

Ye Mo successfully advanced to the Third Rotation of Qiankun, wielding Ten Void Rings, awakening 35 Million Demon Dragon Power, with combat strength comparable to the Qiankun Seventh Rotation.

Meanwhile, Little Jing successfully devoured the White Fluff Triceratops, a demon beast of the Qiankun Seventh Rotation from the Dragon’s Bloodline.

Don’t be fooled by how easily Ye Mo defeated it and think the White Fluff Triceratops was weak. If Little Jing hadn’t promptly devoured it, the triceratops’ desperate counterattack would have seriously injured Ye Mo, unless he disabled the Ten Void Rings to truly defeat the opponent.

Immediately after, Ye Mo left the Fourth Layer of the Dragon Prison. In truth, he was curious about what was in the Fifth Layer, but he knew he would never experience it.

Seeing Ye Mo appear, the lady in purple said, "Your performance is impressive. Even Meng Jun wouldn’t be your match. However, your duel with him won’t be without trouble. You must skillfully leverage your position to overcome this crisis."

"Senior, thank you for the warning."

Ye Mo bowed slightly. Her advice was for him to rely on the forces of the Dayi Exchange. If it truly came to a showdown between Ye Mo and Meng Jun, and if Meng Jun lost, the elders of the Meng Family surely wouldn’t let it go easily.

"Alright, I must go now. I hope to see you at the Lingwu Genius War. Your talents are remarkable, and with the cultivation of a super first-rate force, your future would be limitless. That’s all I have to say; take care."

With that, the lady in purple entered the Dragon Prison space, and the entrance immediately closed behind her.

"The Lingwu Genius War?"

Ye Mo had heard of this great battle more than once—Meng Yun, the number one genius of Nightfall City, had qualified to participate in the Lingwu Genius War, a feat that was the envy of others.

"This Lingwu Genius War is held once every ten years. It’s said that those who can participate are the top talents from across the Lingwu Continent. It’s a peak-level duel among geniuses from the continent, and securing a rank in the war will instantly spread one’s fame across the continent."

Hong Ling said.

"Fame across the continent? If my name could spread across the continent, wouldn’t it mean that even the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan would know of me?"

Ye Mo’s eyes lit up as he curiously inquired.

"That’s theoretically the case."

Hong Ling nodded in agreement.

"The Lingwu Genius War is probably a battle all geniuses on the Lingwu Continent aspire to join, but it’s not easy to qualify. Let’s resolve the immediate problems first."

As Ye Mo spoke, he was about to leave but then saw Meng Yun leading a large group of Meng Family experts into the bamboo forest.

"Ye Mo, I thought you wouldn’t dare face me and were planning to flee. So, you’ve been hiding here, ready to accept my challenge? I’ll defeat you with one strike."

Meng Yun said self-confidently.

"One strike to defeat me? Do you think you have that kind of power?"

Ye Mo said coldly, "If you want to fight, then let’s fight. I don’t want to waste any time."

"Hmph, you think I’ll defeat you here? How ridiculous. Three days ago, you beat me in front of everyone; I am Nightfall City’s number one genius. To restore my image, we’ll duel at the central square arena of Nightfall City."

Meng Yun said coldly. Even if he were to kill Ye Mo, it must be in front of everyone to save face.

"A duel at the arena of Nightfall City’s square? I’m more than willing."

Ye Mo smirked inwardly. Going to the square, he could legitimately defeat Meng Yun and Meng Jun with many witnesses, and they couldn’t deny it. After the match, he could leave Xiling and return to Nanling to rescue the disciples of the Four Great Sects.

With that, Ye Mo followed Meng Yun to Nightfall City’s square, which was already packed with throngs of people. The entire city knew about the duel between Ye Mo and Meng Yun.

Three days ago, Meng Yun was defeated by Ye Mo, but now Meng Yun’s strength had soared, determined to defend his glory as the top genius.

This was a battle for glory.

"Where’s the woman in purple who was with you? She’s one of the real culprits behind my brother’s death. Where is she? Once I defeat you, I’ll definitely kill her to have her buried with my brother."

Meng Yun noticed the woman in purple wasn’t with Ye Mo and was visibly angry.

"Hmph, this Meng Yun is an idiot. If they knew the senior was a supreme master of the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm, they’d be scared out of their wits."

Ye Mo said indifferently, "She has left Nightfall City."

"Left Nightfall City? Hmph, both city gates are guarded by our Meng Family, and the entire city is protected by an array. It’s impossible to fly out directly; she can’t have left the city."

Meng Yun said coldly.

"Enough talk, let’s fight."

They had already arrived at the square, immediately attracting everyone’s attention. Ye Mo jumped directly onto the stage.

Ye Mo could see that the square was filled with guards, all from the Meng Family.

"Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish."

Meng Yun also leaped onto the stage, greeted by cheers.

"Meng Yun is on stage. It’s said he has successfully refined the Flame Demon Heart, and the power of the White Spirit Cold Flame has reached the extreme, his strength soaring rapidly."

"As Nightfall City’s top genius, he should have such a demeanor, becoming stronger with each setback."

"Wow, Young Master Meng Yun is so handsome. It’s said his strength has surged, and he plans to defeat that Ye Xiao guy in one move."

"But that Ye Xiao is also very strong. It’s said he opened with 300 Million Demon Pills to bid on an auction item. He’s probably a disciple from a major family, but it’s unfortunate he met Meng Yun, especially with Meng Yun’s newfound strength."

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Ye Mo’s expression remained unchanged. He understood one thing: Meng Yun had refined the so-called Flame Demon Heart, enhancing the power of the White Spirit Cold Flame.

He could also sense that Meng Yun’s aura was several times stronger than three days ago.

On the other hand, Ye Mo, carrying the Ring of Nothingness, had a realm that had improved but his aura was suppressed, making it seem like he had made no progress in cultivation.

"Ye Mo, three days ago, I lost to you due to a moment of carelessness. But victory and defeat are common for a warrior. Today I will defeat you here, completely defeat you, and avenge my brother’s death."

Meng Yun shouted as he grabbed the blade in his hand, with the White Spirit Cold Flame covering the blade, spewing streams of White Spirit Cold Flame like scarlet snakes spiraling around Meng Yun.

"Ye Mo, I’ll show you my success after three days of cultivation, the Falling Star Cold Fire Blade!"

Meng Yun shouted fiercely, his facial expression twisted as the White Spirit Cold Flame within him exploded outward like Formation-Breaking Spears, forming a torrent of countless white sparks that corroded everything, fiercely shooting toward Ye Mo.

"Falling Star Cold Fire Blade, isn’t this Old Master Meng’s blade technique from the Meng Family? Has Old Master Meng, who was in seclusion for twenty years, come out?"

"The power of the White Spirit Cold Flame has indeed increased significantly, and Meng Yun’s own strength has reached the pinnacle of the Sixth Realm of Qiankun. Ye Xiao is likely to be in danger."

In a flash, everyone had made their judgment.

The majority were not optimistic about Ye Mo.
