He was ultimately a captain of the Kingdom’s imperial guard. With the top tier techniques that he had trained, his strength was far beyond comparison against normal fighters.

“We’ll fight together!” Seeing the situation, the other two Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters pounced towards Cao Sanshi at the same time, with energy bursting out like giant rumbling waves crashing towards him.

However, before their attack could even get close to Cao Sanshi, he waved his sword again, the light blade completely engulfing and trapping the two of them.

Bang!

The two Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters were both sent flying out. They began violently throwing up fresh blood as they dropped to the ground.

“Hmph, you two overestimated yourselves.”

Withdrawing his attack, Cao Sanshi looked at the few Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighters standing at the side and said, “Did no one from the Qi Clan inform you all that the ones ambushing the carriage team were going to be us, the Cao Clan? We are ultimately still guards from the kingdom. Even fighters from the three leagues cannot compare to us, let alone you amateur fighters. All of you are simply digging your own graves.”

“Cao Sanshi, what do you want? Miss Xiao Cao is inside. If you startle her, the punishment that Young Master Cao will hand down is not something you can handle,” said Zhan Jun with a solemn face.

The thought of Young Master Cao immediately gave Cao Sanshi the chills, as he immediately said, “My mission this time is regarding that map. Hand over the map, and I will not make life hard for all of you. As for Miss Xiao Cao, we naturally dare not mean any offence towards her.”

“Map? What map?” asked Manager Qi, who remained expressionless.

“Elder Qi, don’t play me for a fool. The map was stolen by your Qi Clan from Si Maguang, don’t think the Cao Family is unaware of that. Hand over the map, and I will let you all head towards the Heaven’s Wall City. Who knows, we may even be your escorts on your way there. If not, everyone except Xiao Cao will have to die.”

As he spoke, Cao Sanshi looked around and asked, “Where is Xiao Cao? Didn’t she come with all of you? Is she in the tent?”

Cao Sanshi’s eyes sparkled devilishly as he slowly walked towards the tent.

Seeing that, Manager Qi’s face changed drastically as he slowly walked towards the tent, blocking Cao Sanshi’s path. He said, “You cannot go in there!”

“Don’t tell me the map is with Xiao Cao?”

With a wave of his arm, Cao Sanshi sent Manager Qi flying backwards. Without even bothering to check on him, he burst towards and into the tent.

Bang!

Suddenly, a powerful force exploded from inside the tent, causing the whole tent to explode. Even Cao Sanshi took multiple steps backwards before managing to steady himself.

What was seen was Ye Mo embracing Xiao Cao as he stood there, with Xiao Cao’s petite body covered by Ye Mo’s clothes, which wrapped around her perfect figure.

Everyone who saw what was before them could not help but make indecent assumptions. Xiao Cao was naked, and Ye Mo’s clothes were stripped off and wrapped around her body. Furthermore, Xiao Cao just had the fire poison removed, hence some redness could still be seen on her face. Anybody who saw this would make that same indecent assumptions.

Everyone had been battling outside while Ye Mo and Xiao Cao were battling inside.

“Who are you?” Cao Sanshi was the first to react as he shouted loudly, his face immediately showing an expression of anger. Xiao Cao was arranged to be Young Master Cao’s woman, but she had just been conquered by the man before his eyes.

Ye Mo gently placed Xiao Cao on the ground as he walked forward to face Cao Sanshi. “I’m the captain of this escort team. You hurt my subordinates, so tell me, how do you want to die?”

“The nerve of you!” At that moment, Cao Sanshi’s furious voice erupted, “Do you know that what you just did is an offence punishable by death? How dare you violate my woman here. No matter who you are, you are going to die a sorry death!”

As he spoke, he launched a fist viciously towards Ye Mo’s body without any warning. This punch was an all-out attack from an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighter. The Ye Mo in the past would have been seriously hurt receiving this punch and perhaps would have even died on the spot. However, the punch that landed on his body only caused him to take a few steps back.

Ye Mo was not going to simply take this beating. Rays of black Giant Dragon Powers were unleashed as they surged towards Cao Sanshi. The multiple roars from the Giant Dragon would cause anyone to tremble in fear.

However, Cao Sanshi was completely unafraid. Generating his long sword, his top-tier magical weapon, he stabbed directly at the rays of the black Giant Dragon Powers. As the rays of power vanished, Cao Sanshi also took multiple steps back, hitting a big tree.

“Kid, you are quite strong, to be able to cause me to retreat even though you are in the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm. However, is this all you got to show for all your arrogance? You are too arrogant to even dare touch my woman.”

Boom!

Cao Sanshi instantly vanished from where he was standing and appeared behind Ye Mo. With uncontrollable anger, he stabbed his sword towards him.

In an instant, as time seemed to simply flash by, a powerful Will exploded, giving off a bleak aura.

Ye Mo had wanted to used his Technique of Interchangeability to avoid this sneak attack, only to feel that his movement had seemingly been slowed down, causing him to be completely unable to dodge the attack. This was the effect of a Will, a Will that messed with one’s sense of time.

Ye Mo heard Cao Sanshi’s voice by his ear. “Kid, it should be considered an honor for you to die by the Will that Cao Tong had taught me. This Will of the Sword is capable of causing a time delay, a powerful Will. Till this day, only a few are able to realize this technique.”

Ye Mo’s expression was solemn as he instantly generated a dragon spear in his hand. Waving the spear wildly with both hands, he generated a purple-flame spiritual aura that diffused in the air, instantaneously forming a flawless defense!

Boom!

With a single hit, Ye Mo was immediately sent flying, his body toppling four to five tall trees as it flew violently in the wind. Streams of blood spilled out from his mouth.

“This Cao Sanshi is very strong indeed!”

Steadying his body and holding the dragon spear in his hand, Ye Mo did not hesitate as he charged explosively towards Cao Sanshi.

Cao Sanshi’s aura rose again as he also charged towards Ye Mo with his long sword in hand.

The strikes from both of them were enough to crush the stone around them, causing dust to fly up in the air.

The surrounding fighters had already quickly left the battle grounds. They stood at the side, watching the huge battle between Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters!

Upon the collision, everyone realized that Cao Sanshi was becoming more and more fired up as he fought while Ye Mo’s power became weaker and weaker.

“Young master!”

Standing there watching the fight unfold, Xiao Cao clutched her heart.

“The captain is indeed strong to be able to exchange strikes with Cao Sanshi. However, he is still destined to lose. The opponent is too strong!”

The two of them collided again. Cao Sanshi remained unmoved, but Ye Mo was forced to take dozens of steps backwards in retreat.

“Interesting. Based on the strength that you are displaying, you have the strength of the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm at least. However, compared to me, you are still far off.”

With a huge roar, Cao Shanshi’s whole body trembled as a set of black armor formed, covering his whole body.

This was an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm technique. Following that, a spiralling gust of wind blew past him as the abundance of energy generated an Energy Clone.

“Kid, I have decided not to hold back any strength! Unleash your clone!”
