The soldiers immediately shouted when they heard the One Armed Butcher threatening their young lady with their lives.
“Young lady, you can’t agree to that. The moment he has you, it will be very hard for our Chen Clan Army to destroy them. You must never agree!”
“Yes, young lady. Flee with the Lightning Bird. Our lives do not matter!”
Chen Yanzhi glared at One Armed Butcher, her brows furrowed tightly. When she saw that he was slowly waving his saber downward, she quickly waved her hand.
“Stay your hand!” She shouted. “Will you fulfill your promise?”
“Of course. There is no point for me to make things difficult for these bugs. With you in my hand, I will have a new trump card. Killing them won’t bring me any benefits whatsoever.” The One Armed Butcher grinned when he saw Chen Yanzhi trying to stop him. He slung his saber on his back before grabbing at Chen Yanzhi’s arm. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel~fire~net
Chen Yanzhi appeared incredibly frail and thin in her purple robe, yet she still stood with her back perfectly straight on the Lightning Bird. She radiated an inviolable feeling, yet at the same time made anyone who laid eyes on her feel like cherishing her. Anyone who saw this image of her would have an urge to prostrate before her, to show her love.
Now that she was captured by the One Armed Butcher, the Energy Shaping Realm warriors of Chen Clan Army down below started raging as they all unfurled their energy wings and charged at One Armed Butcher.
“Let go of our young lady! Even if I have to die, I won’t allow you to take her!” shouted one of them with no trace of fear.
“You?” Chen Yanzhi recognized this soldier. He had once confessed his love to her. However, she had never taken him seriously. Shock surfaced in her heart when she saw him charging a Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouse with no fear.
“Young lady, I am but a poor lad. I know I am not a match for you. But I still hope I can protect you with all my effort!” declared the soldier with a firm gaze.
“You are indeed the goddess of the army,” said the One Armed Butcher with a grin. With a wave of his limbless sleeve, he launched an attack at the soldier.
The wind transformed into a sharp blade that slashed across the air before separating the soldier into two.
“You!” Chen Yanzhi shouted in anger. She tried breaking free of his grasp but failed.
“How can you ever trust the words of a bandit? I’m starting to doubt your status as a female strategist.”
Then he waved his limbless sleeve several times to create a large gale. Instantly, mountains started crumbling while the sky changed color as the gale slashed everywhere, turning the soldiers into pieces, filling the air with a thick mist of blood. The world below them had transformed into a hell with miserable screams reverberating everywhere. Some lost their arms, some lost their legs, and some were slashed into two at their waist.
An army of 1,000 soldiers suffered a tragic fate just from two waves of a saber.
Chen Yanzhi no longer had the courage to look downward. With tears welling in her eyes, she said, “My Chen Clan Army will not spare you.”
“Hehe, tonight, I won’t spare you either.” Grabbing hold of Chen Yanzhi’s shoulder, the One Armed Butcher headed back towards the valley.
Meanwhile, Ye Mo who was busy reaping his harvest was unaware of what was going on. At present, it was nearing dawn. With the Star Map on him, Ye Mo headed towards the entrance of the valley.
At the same time, the One Armed Butcher was also heading towards the valley entrance with Chen Yanzhi. When he found out that his underlings had all been killed, he immediately guessed that something had happened to his headquarters.
Just like that, the two encountered each other at the entrance. When Ye Mo saw Chen Yanzhi and her dispirited face, he guessed that something must have happened. And when the One Armed Butcher saw the bag behind Ye Mo shining with starlight, he immediately knew what was in the bag as well.
“Kid, hand over the Star Map obediently and I will spare your life.” The One Armed Butcher stared at Ye Mo gloomily. His True Origin Power was already locked onto Ye Mo.
“Spare my life? You have a woman in your hands. This woman is probably very important for you, right?” Ye Mo glanced at Chen Yanzhi and continued, “One Armed Butcher, if you want to keep me from escaping, you have to free your hand, right?”
“Haha, a mere Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior like you? I don’t even need my hand to kill you!” The One Armed Butcher sneered and whipped his leg towards Ye Mo.
Ye Mo stood where he was while gathering 600 streams of Bright Dragon Power into his right hand’s Mortal Gate. With his right hand radiating a white radiance, he faced the incoming kick.
Both of them were pushed several steps backward.
“Since I can enter your secret room and take your Star Map, do you really think my strength is only at Energy Shaping Ninth Realm?” Ye Mo sneered and continued, “Black and White Impermanence, the blood warrior, the Daomark Ancestor, all of them were your key subordinates, right? Unfortunately, they have all been killed by me. Now your headquarters is completely empty. I suggest you kill yourself immediately. Otherwise, you will suffer an even worse death.”
“What? Black and White Impermanence, Daomark Ancestor and the others have all been killed by you?” The One Armed Butcher cried out in alarm. “How is that possible? When all four of them fight together, not even I can defeat them. It is impossible that you can kill them all.” Chen Yanzhi’s spiritless eyes started shifting when she heard this as well. Based on her understanding of Ye Mo, he would not say something for no reason.
“If I haven’t killed them, how could I be walking out in broad daylight ? This Star Map is not something you are capable of refining. Its value will only be maximized in my hands.” Ye Mo continued penetrating One Armed Butcher’s mental barrier. “This woman looks decent. If you give her to me, I can consider sparing your life.”
“You are courting death!” One Armed Butcher screeched.
“What you need to consider now is whether you should fight me. Sure, I look like an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior. But some powerful warriors are capable of suppressing their aura. If you want to fight, I will not hold back. It might be somewhat bothersome dealing with you, but you are after all a wanted criminal with a bounty of 10,000 Mixed Energy Pills on your head. It will be worth the effort. Think about it.” As Ye Mo spoke, he took out the pair of Daomark Gloves and started putting it on.
One Armed Butcher’s pupils shrunk when he saw the gloves. The gloves were equivalent to the life of Daomark Ancestor. Since the gloves were now in Ye Mo’s hands, it signified that the Daomark Ancestor had indeed been killed by him. But he could not comprehend how a teenager of about 16 or 17 years old could be strong enough to kill the Daomark Ancestor.
“Kid, I live a life of danger. Do you think you can frighten me with those?” The One Armed Butcher’s body flickered as he pushed Yanzhi to the side. Then he pulled his saber out and immediately, seven massive golden wheels appeared around him. Each of the wheels was formed from his saber energy, and all of them streaked through the air towards Ye Mo.
