“How is this possible? No, it’s impossible, definitely impossible. My Thousand-hands Buddha Seal wasn’t even able to deal with a boy in the mid-Profound World Realm?” Man Tiancheng muttered to himself.
He looked at Ye Mo, who just stood there, upright in the same place, body uninjured. He became furious as he recalled Ye Mo’s provocation.
This was humiliation, an utter humiliation. It was absolutely unacceptable to think that he, an expert from the Zone of Lingwu with four Profound Marks, whose strength was right below the Cosmos Realm, was unable to harm Ye Mo with the strongest technique he knew. This was difficult to accept.
It was like an elephant had trampled on an ant without anything in its way, but the ant was completely unharmed.
“I’m going to kill you!”
Man Tiancheng exploded, as not being able to kill Ye Mo with one move was definitely a humiliation for him. The Profound Qi around his body turned violent, and a terrifying pressure that could almost crush any five-star Castellans headed toward Ye Mo.
Ye Mo’s face turned serious when he looked at this scene. Earlier, he was able to defend against the move from his opponent because he had cultivated the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm. After he caught the wood-based attack, he broke through to the Wood Element of the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm. But, this time around, he’d be looking for death if he let his opponent hit him again.
But, when Man Tiancheng’s attack was about to hit Ye Mo, a stream of black Spearlight flashed across and bombarded the body of Man Tiancheng. The crowd saw that the majestic Tiancheng was weakened, and his entire body spun several times in the air before it came to a stop.
He immediately cast his cold eyes towards the sky. When the crowd saw that, they also looked towards the sky, looking for the source of the Spearlight.
Then, everyone saw that a graceful black figure suspended in the air, with long black hair and dark black clothes wrapped around a tall and exquisite body. She looked like a dark and cold woman.
After the crowds saw the woman that had appeared, the colors on the faces of many Castellans slightly changed. It was obvious that this woman was famous in the Zone of Chaos.
“It’s Gu Xingyue, the black rose. She’s a Castellan whose real strength is ranked number two in the entire Zone of Chaos.”
“Her strength is incomparably strong. She integrated the five Profound Marks long ago. She’s also very beautiful and is known as the strongest female Castellan in the Zone of Chaos.”
“The spear technique from this Gu Xingyue is unmatched by anyone in the whole world. And, she has the legendary Black Murder Physique, which is extremely rare. In the Zone of Chaos, her decisive killing is also very frightening.”
“It’s said that this Gu Xingyue fell in love with a man when she was young. But she ended up killing that man in the end because he wanted to steal her spear technique. After that, she was dismissive of any man. After the killing, she wished that all the men in the world were dead. I didn’t expect her to help that Ye Mo.”
Because of Gu Xingyue’s appearance, the crowd burst into discussion and speculation.
Whether it was her cultivation, appearance or talent, she was the best in just about everything. Such a character would become the focus of the crowd as soon as they appeared.
“Gu Xingyue, what do you mean by this?”
Seeing Gu Xingyue make a move, Man Tiancheng’s face turned a bit ugly. Since the other side had made a move, he was afraid that she and Ye Mo would join together. That wouldn’t be good for Man Tiancheng.
“This Ye Mo saved my life, so I saved him,” Gu Xingyue said faintly. “A life for a life.”
Man Tiancai stepped out and said faintly, “Gu Xingyue, are you going to protect him forever? I can give you face and spare his life, but you can only protect him for now, not for the rest of his life.”
“Ye Mo, you should take the Castellans of your League with you and leave here,” Gu Xingyue said to Ye Mo. There was no hesitation or emotion in her voice.”This Shenrui Temple isn’t a place that you can go to. I can save you once today, but I won’t be saving you a second time.”
“Thank you for your kindness, but I must go to this Mysterious Primordial Shenrui Land,” Ye Mo said. Gu Xingyue frowned.
Boom!
Just when everyone was focused on Ye Mo, the gate of the Shenrui Temple suddenly rumbled.
“The gate is opening. Let’s quickly go in and occupy a section.”
“Everyone, quickly, block the gate and stop these people from going in.”
“You guys will be responsible for stopping the others. If your strength isn’t at least a five-star Castellan, do not go in.”
As the gate of the temple slowly opened, the crowd started to panic. The atmosphere turned intense. After all, there was a large number of people present. The gate of the Shenrui Temple wasn’t that wide. If even just five people were to walk in side by side, it would be a bit crowded.
Of course, those really strong Castellans didn’t have to worry about that. Only the three-star and four-star Castellans were panicking.
Go!
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Streams of shadows burst into the Shenrui Temple, ignoring the crowd entirely.
As for Gu Xingyue, she coldly shouted while suspended in the air, “Those who don’t want to die, get out of the way.”
Hearing these words, everyone was surprised and they quickly moved out of the way.
“This is a really strong expert.”
Ye Mo’s eyes flashed. When everyone moved out of the way, he displayed his Shifting Phantom Shadow and flashed into the Shenrui Temple.
As soon as he entered the Shenrui Temple, Ye Mo saw that there was a huge Eight Diagram at the center of the temple. It seemed to contain some Spatial Power, and it emitted an illusory light.
Above the Eight Diagram were eight sections, which represented eight places.
On one side of the temple, a five-star Castellan instantly rushed onto a section. However, he was knocked out of this section by a palm strike from Man Tianhao before he could stand up properly. Then, Man Tianhao stood in that same section.
Man Tianhao, a seven-star Castellan, grabbed one of the spots first.
Ye Mo looked at the Eight Diagram. He was in no hurry to go up. If he rushed up first, he would end up like that first five-star Castellan.
But a few Castellans, whose eyes turned completely red, decided to bet their lives to seize those sections. The crazy aura present was like a mad dog looking for food.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Castellans began to fight and steal from each other. A chaotic battle ensued. Some Castellans hadn’t planned on battling, instead rushing toward a section, hoping to grab it by speed rather than strength. But they immediately got scared and back away from the section after they saw a black shadow heading toward them.
Gu Xingyue, a seven-star Castellan, occupied the second spot.
“That Gu Xingyue is so strong. Why does she want to go exchange resources? I really can’t figure it out.”Ye Mo looked at the emotionless Gu Xingyue with curiosity.
“Now that she doesn’t have a weapon, maybe she wants to go exchange for a Long Spear,” Hong Ling said. “She’s a good person. She didn’t try to steal me.”
Ye Mo nodded, but still didn’t make a move. It was complete chaos inside the Shenrui Temple. If his weapon hadn’t advanced to a mid-grade Bejewelled Weapon, and his spear technique hadn’t increased by a level, then he would’ve had no hope of snatching a section in the Diagram.
“Haha! I’ll be occupying the third spot!”
The six-star Castellan, Man Tiancheng, laughed out loud. He slapped out a palm that swatted away a few five-star Castellans. Then, he landed on a section.
“I’ll occupy the fourth section.”
The six-star Castellan, Huang Wuji, also took a section.
“The fifth section will, of course, be mine.”
Hai Dalong, the League Leader of the Dragon League and a six-star Castellan, also took a section.
Five of the eight sections had been taken. The Man Tian League had taken five sections, Gu Xingyue took one, and the Dragon League took one. There were only three sections left.
