The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Ye Mo could felt a huge pressure just from looking at Mo Feng’s purple body . The pressure came from the difference of power, the difference in their levels . Even with the help from the Rising Dragon Pillar and the Dragon Energy, Ye Mo could still clearly feel Mo Feng’s overwhelming strength .

“Brother Ye, I think he has merged with the Yin Poison Grass . You’re no match for him . Hurry up and run!” Ling’er shouted in his mind .

Ye Mo gripped the Formation-Breaking Spear tightly and stared at Mo Feng . Since he’d used up 16 Dragon Energies from before, he could not muster his full strength anymore .

Xiao Yue hadn’t fled the scene . She stood there as the lion statue soared in the air waiting for her command .

“Yueyue!” Ye Mo suddenly shouted .

“Huh?” Xiao Yue looked at him .

“Hurry up and run . Go and inform the elders!” Ye Mo said with a serious expression .

“No! We’re leaving together! I’m not leaving you here alone!” Xiao Yue jumped onto the lion . Her blue eyes, white mask, silver armor, and black hair danced as she moved, like a war goddess descending from the heaven .

“Do you think I’m going to let both of you leave?” Mo Feng kicked the tree and propelled himself forward . His speed was so fast that only a trail of purple shadow could be seen behind him .

Ye Mo eyes widened, and he quickly took out the Flame Charm . He summoned the remaining Dragon Energies in his Energy Center to the charm and threw it towards Mo Feng .

The size of the charm multiplied mid-air and turned into a flaming chain .

The Flame Charm was a Rank One Charm that got Ling’er’s seal of approval . It had the power to seriously injure a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artist . After he threw the charm, Ye Mo quickly rushed towards Xiao Yue .

Xiao Feng kicked the ground and charged towards Mo Feng . “M’lady, Ye Mo, hurry up and run!” He shouted .

“Let’s go!”

Without the Dragon Energy, Ye Mo could only rely on the Five-Elements Energy . His speed had dramatically declined . Xiao Yue controlled the lion to Ye Mo’s side and extended her hand . Ye Mo looked at her graceful hand and was stunned by its beauty for a moment . He quickly grabbed her arm, and Xiao Yue pulled him up onto the lion . She steered the lion toward the exit .

“Xiao Feng, I’ll definitely avenge you . ”

“Don’t go to the exit!” Ye Mo shouted .

“Why?” Xiao Yue asked .

“Even though the Flame Charm is powerful, it’s not enough to harm Mo Feng . With his speed, he’ll arrive at the exit before us and wait for us there!” Ye Mo explained .

Xiao Yue quickly made the lion turn to the opposite direction . They found a cave in the forest . The lion went back into its charm, and they hid in the cave .

“Ye Mo, how are your injuries? Are they serious?” Xiao Yue asked when she’d noticed that Ye Mo was out of breath .

“I’m fine, I just wasted too much energy,” Ye Mo said as he swallowed a few Stabilizing Pills . The Rising Dragon Pillar began to absorb the Natural Energy around him . Yet the Dragon Energy recovering speed was slow . It still needed some time before all 37 energies were recovered .

“Ye Mo… Why are you treating me so well? You kept sacrificing yourself to save me…” Xiao Yue looked at Ye Mo .

“Should there be a reason? I’ve vowed to protect you forever ever since we became friends,” Ye Mo said .

“Forever?” Xiao Yue said .

Suddenly, the cave began to shake, and Mo Feng’s voice could be heard outside . “You two still dare to act all sweet and romantic when you both are about to die? Then let me bury both of you together!”

Boom!

A huge rock dropped and sealed the exit .

The cave kept on shaking . Ye Mo’s face darkened as the cave began to collapse . Mo Feng wanted to bury both him and Xiao Yue in the cave alive .

“Ye Mo! The cave is collapsing!” Xiao Yue shouted as she unsheathed her sword and sliced the dropping boulders into pieces .

“Watch out!” Ye Mo pushed Xiao Yue away and summoned 10 Dragon Energies into his hand . He held the huge boulder that weighed more than 10 tons . Even with the help from the Dragon Energies, it still put a toll on him .

The boulder was so massive that Ye Mo began to breathe heavily . Xiao Yue stood beside him, not knowing what to do . She was shorter than Ye Mo, so she couldn’t reach the boulder above them .

This was the first time she understood what it meant to have a person who would shield you even if the sky fell . Ye Mo was doing so with his fragile body .

“Ling’er, is this it? Am I going to die here?” Ye Mo couldn’t even muster the strength to speak . He could only communicate with Ling’er in his mind .

“Even without the falling boulders, you won’t be able to withstand much longer . Even if you somehow managed to live, you would still have to find a way to escape,” Ling’er said . Her doll-like face expressed concern for the first time ever .

And yet suddenly, another explosion could be heard . Ye Mo suddenly felt another 10 ton weight added to his shoulder, forcing him to kneel . His arm’s muscles exploded and his arms became covered in blood .

Xiao Yue kneeled on the floor, helping Ye Mo to hold the boulders up . Yet, she was only a Spirit Cultivating Third Realm martial artist and couldn’t do much .

“I’m sorry . I promised I’d protect you for eternity, but it looks like we’re about to die here…” Ye Mo spat out the sentence word by word with difficulty .

“Ye Mo, I’m not even supposed to live in this world . No matter what, please live on!” Xiao Yue made a difficult decision and took off her mask . Ye Mo looked at her and was shocked by what he saw .

“Shocking, isn’t it? I’m not the beauty everyone thought I was . I’m just a cursed child!” Tears began to roll down Xiao Yue’s cheeks .

He really was surprised by her face . Phoenixes formed by green poison burns could be seen on each of her cheeks . Her face was like the sky where the Phoenixes soared .

“It’s the Phoenix Curse!” Ling’er shouted .

“What’s the Phoenix Curse?”

“It’s one of the four ancient curses! The person who has the curse feels intense pain from it . Judging by how she’s been living well until now, her family must’ve invested a fortune on her . I think she’s trying to release the poison inside the curse!”

“Release the curse?” Ye Mo was startled .

“She doesn’t have the strength to control the curse! If she released it, it would give her tremendous power for a short while, but then the curse will start to eat her up!”

“N-no! Stop!” Another Dragon Energy was replenished and the pressure from the boulder decreased as Ye Mo shouted .

“I love you, Ye Mo . ” Xiao Yue kissed his cheek and released the curse . The Phoenixes awoke and began to expand like they were trying to escape from her body . “Release!”

An infinite amount of green energy surrounded Xiao Yue and exploded, miraculously avoiding Ye Mo, and destroyed the whole mountain around them .
