Ye Mo’s spear attack held nothing back. He knew that there was a huge gap between this Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm expert and him.

Clang!

The top of his spear hit the hammer.

Boom!

The collision almost made the sky fall apart. Ye Mo felt an irresistible force coming at him from the sky above. The force was so strong that it shook every inch of his body and made his meridians crack.

Puff!

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Ye Mo’s mouth, and he was blown away.

Ye Mo’s attack had slowed Fan Jian down and earned time for Yao Yue. She swung her sword fiercely at the hammer with a powerful burst of her domain. Her power froze Fan Jian from head to toe

Yao Yue rushed to Ye Mo’s side, grabbed his arm and said, “Ye Mo, are you still alive?”

“I’m fine, let’s run!” Ye Mo shook his head.

Seeing Ye Mo injured, the Hu brothers were deeply shocked. “What’s going on here. Isn’t he a Cosmos Realm expert?”

“Big brother, Ye Mo wasn’t a Cosmos Realm expert at all. He just can play some grade skipping tricks,” Hu Erdao said.

“Sh*t! Let’s go!”

As they finally realized that Ye Mo wasn’t a Cosmos Realm expert, they also understood that there was no chance for them to kill Fan Yi. They decided to flee.

Watching the Hu brothers flee, Fan Yi didn’t bother catching up with them. He knew that he couldn’t take their lives that easily and his target, for now, was Yao Yue.

“Damn it! Those two brothers escaped. I knew they weren’t dependable.”

Ye Mo’s heart sank when he saw the Hu brothers run away. Now, he knew that he and Yao Yue were stuck. Helpless.

“My beautiful girl, where are you going?”

Fan Yi saw Ye Mo and Yao Yue were trying to escape, so he generated his energy and cast out his Chaotic Devil Domain. Ye Mo and Yao Yue were both trapped within it.

“Just let him go. I’ll go with you!” Yao Yue said, tone extremely calm. She understood that Fan Jian was a Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm expert and his real power was far more terrifying than his cultivation level. No matter how hard they tried to resist, the result would be the same.

“No way!” Ye Mo refused immediately.

“Lad, your Transcendence Golden Body is really something. But, sadly, your cultivation level is too low. You, in the Battle of the Thousand Cities, are nothing but cannon fodder. Let me make it crystal clear that, in the tenth district, I am the most powerful cultivator. No one dares to mess with me,” Fan Yi said in a cold and arrogant voice. For him, Ye Mo was just a “nobody” who would be killed at any time.

“Fan Yi, I’m gonna kill you!” said Ye Mo in an uncontrollable rage. The Five Elements Dragon Monkey began to rush toward Fan Yi, but he suddenly felt that his body was gradually frozen. Finally, he became a still ice statue frozen in the midair.

“Yao Yue! No!” Ye Mo knew it was Yao Yue’s trick.

“Ye Mo, before we came to the Battle of the Thousand Cities, I conjured a divination. The result said we would have more danger than fortune in this trip,” said Yao Yue, looking at Ye Mo with a beautiful, sad smile. “For cultivation, we have to keep fighting, keep advancing. But, more than that, I just want you to stay alive. Remember our dream of going back to the Zone of Desolation. It’s on you now.”

After she finished speaking, Yao Yue avoided eye contact with Ye Mo and said to Fan Yi, “Let’s go, shall we? He’s been frozen for now.”

“Haha, we are gonna have so much fun tonight.” A vile smile cracked Fan Yi’s face. He withdrew his domain and left with Yao Yue and his deputy castellan.

Ye Mo watched them getting smaller and smaller and finally disappearing in the distance. His emotions were in a frenzy and he was about to lose his mind.

“Why? Why? Why do I have the ancient divine power within me, but I still can’t protect the ones I love? Why do I have to watch them sacrifice for me again and again? I want more power! I want the strongest power!” Ye Mo snarled and shouted, trying his best to break out from the ice, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t escape.

“Ye Mo, calm down. Look at that, in the distance. What is it?” Ling’er said. “That’s…? That’s Yao Yue’s Transcendence Golden Body?”

Ling’er words were like a shower of cold water. Ye Mo came to his senses a little.

In the distance, a giant ice phoenix appeared with the power to freeze the entire world. It was flying in the sky; the mountains nearby were all frozen. But a giant tail suddenly appeared and lashed the ice phoenix like a whip. In a flash, Yao Yue was blown away and fell to the ground hard.

“You bitch! How dare you sneak attack me?” Fan Yi shouted crazily, as he transformed his tail into a giant pillar piercing the sky and then lashed it down on ice phoenix.

Boom!

The body of the ice phoenix exploded. Yao Yue went as pale as a ghost and was blown away into the sky, like a kite without the string.

“I consider myself lucky to have survived the Zone of Chaos until now. I’m so happy we could meet again, Ye Mo!” On Yao Yue’s pale face, a smile appeared. And then she closed her eyes.

“Ling’er, what’s happened to Yao Yue? How is she now?” Ye Mo kept asking questions while his heart burned with anxiety.

“Yao Yue… she… died!” Ling’er answered his question with a shaking voice. She never expected that, on the first day they joining the Battle of the Thousand Cities, such a cruel thing would happen.

“What are you talking about? Yao Yue died? You must be mistaken!” Ye Mo shouted crazily, like a man possessed. “Ahhhhhh! It’s all my fault! Why am I so useless? I can’t even move an inch now. I have to watch the girl I love die right in front of me.”

Ahhhhhhhhh!

Crak, crak! The ice layer started to crack a little. Xiao Jing squeezed out from the crack. It felt Ye Mo’s sadness and tried its very best to break up the ice.

It flapped its wings and created gold crystal drills. The drills flew to Ye Mo in waves.

Boom Boom Boom Boom!

Unfortunately, the ice layer was created by Yao Yue’s trick. Xiao Jing wasn’t strong enough to break it.

“Xiao Jing! Hurry up. I’m begging you! Let me out. Let me out!”

Listening to Ye Mo’s begging, Xiao Jing shed some tears and kept up its attack. When Xiao Jing was exhausted, the layer on the Five Elements Dragon Monkey finally showed some small cracks.

“Break! Break!”

Ye Mo sensed the ice start to loosen and he condensed his power with a loud shout. The 3.5 million streams of Shadow Dragon Power in his body roared with him, as if they could feel his rage.

Boom!

Ye Mo finally broke from the ice, red eyes staring ahead. He sprinted toward Fan Yi because he saw that he was about to collect Yao Yue’s Transcendence Golden Body. Ye Mo took out the Devil Refining Gourd and urged it to activate. At last, a destroying force of attraction was generated and absorbed Yao Yue into the gourd. Without any delay, Ye Mo fled away.

“What is that? The Devil Refining Gourd? Let’s go after him!”

Fan Yi was no doubt an expert on all kinds of treasures and he recognized the Devil Refining Gourd in no time. He shouted to the deputy castellan and ran in the direction Ye Mo had fled.

Strangely, however, after chasing for a long time, they still couldn’t find Ye Mo.

“How is this possible? He can’t be faster than us. He couldn’t escape from our hunt!” Fan Yi looked around carefully, trying to search for Ye Mo. He even generated his Heart Transcendence for the search too. As a Profound Heavens Realm expert, he couldn’t allow Ye Mo to escape under his watch.

“Castellan Fan Yi, look! What is that? Is it the Devil Refining Gourd?”

Fan Jian pointed at the foot of the mountain. The Devil Refining Gourd was lying by a small pile of pebbles.

“Haha, it is! I’m not sure why it doesn’t have spirituality, but I saw the little bastard use it just now. Its power is beyond imagination.”

Fan Yi picked up the Devil Refining Gourd and held it in his hands. His face was covered with joy and satisfaction.

“Stop killing the demonic beasts now. Let’s find a cave first and assimilate the Devil Refining Gourd”.
