“Miss, I’ve lured him to the Desolate City,” the disciple continued. “The kid looks clueless. It just took a few words to lure him here. He even rewarded me with 1,000 Mixed Energy Pills.”
“You did well,” the lady said, satisfied. “What’s the kid’s cultivation level?”
“He’s only in the late True Energy Realm,” the Door of Desolation disciple replied.
“Only the late True Energy Realm?” The lady asked skeptically. “Luosha Kingdom’s one of the higher-level kingdoms in the Zone of Desolation. How could they pick a late True Energy Realm disciple to participate in the trials? But that’s also good. He won’t be able to pass the trials. I’m going to steal his token and participate on his behalf.”
“Don’t be careless, miss,” the disciple said. “The kid was able to get the token despite only being in the late True Energy Realm. He must be something special. How about you leave this matter to me? I can get him to hand over the Luosha Token willingly.”
“Liang Ping, if you can get it done, then I’ll reward you with a Spirit Weapon,” the woman said. “I know you want the Man Lord Heavy Sword.”
“Man Lord Heavy Sword?” Liang Ping said excitedly, “I won’t let you down.”
Ye Mo frowned while listening to the conversation. Then he turned into a stream of shadow before disappearing.
“Sure enough, this Liang Ping does not have good intentions,” Ye Mo said as he landed on the roof. “He wants to take my token. Humph! How could it be that simple.” He saw Liang Ping rushing out of the mansion.
“Since you want to take my Luosha Token, I’ll show you my strength.” With a quick movement in his heart, Ye Mo turned into a stream of black shadow, heading towards the mansion to attack the lady. But after going through the window, he saw that the lady had already disappeared. Ye Mo retreated, landing in the middle of the garden. Suddenly, Ye Mo felt something strange around him. Grass and wood began shaking to form a certain pattern.
All at once, the leaves from a big tree fell. A crisp sound ran out, the sound of a zither. The leaves turned into plum blossoms midair and, following the sound waves from the zither, began attacking Ye Mo.
“It’s the Sound Wave Technique.” Ye Mo said. In the past, Nangong Qingxue had used that technique. It’s a very strange form of martial arts.
Ye Mo snorted coldly and emitted bursts of terrifying aura. He punched out, shattering the plum leaves, but the sound waves entered his body.
“Humph!” Ye Mo snorted as he gave 30,000 streams of Bright Dragon Power to the Five Mortal Gates. It was comparable to the outbreak of Heaven’s Strength Realm. The courtyard was filled with Bright Dragons, and the sound waves all dissipated into nothing.
“What a strong kid. Who is he? Who dared to intrude in my Shuxiang Garden?” A pleasant sound came from above. On a big tree sat the lady from earlier, in the hall. In front of her was a green Guqin.
With a glance, Ye Mo saw the woman clearly. Her beauty put the flowers to shame and outshone the moon. But Ye Mo felt a vague sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
“Shuxiang Garden? I think more like Beauty Garden. Little girl, you’re not bad. How about becoming my wife?” Ye Mo flirted. She had dared to send someone to snatch his Luosha Token. Ye Mo would teach the girl a lesson before Liang Ping returned.
“You! Stinking hooligan, what did you say?” the girl yelled angrily. “How dare you! Do you know who I am? You dare insult me.” Her slender fingers plucked a string.
Sound waves from the Guqin filled the courtyard. The woman emitted a strong aura as she turned into a palace woman brandishing a long sword aimed at Ye Mo.
Ye Mo’s pupils shrank as he punched out. Dragons and elephants hummed, fists and wind flashed, and the sound of exploding air could be heard. The sound waves faded into nothingness before the woman could approach Ye Mo.
“Such a trick is no use against me. I think it’s better for you to be my wife and avoid looking for trouble,” Ye Mo said.
“Stinking hooligan,” the woman said. “I’ll admit you’re very strong. You were able to dodge the One-finger Zen Sound attack from my Fairy Dance Sword.” She sounded surprised. “Nevertheless, I am Nangong Yurou, and I’ll show you the power of the Nangong family sound wave technique.”
“Nangong Yurou?” Ye Mo said surprised, then asked, “Are you related to Nangong Qingxue?”
“My sister?” the woman asked. “Who are you? You know my sister? She would never associate with a hooligan like you.” Check latest chapters at NoveIＦire.net
“Hooligan? I’ll tell you the truth. I heard everything you said earlier in the hall. I’m the person Liang Ping wanted to take the Luosha Token from.” Ye Mo sneered. “But with just your ability, you couldn’t possibly steal my Luosha Token. Since you want it, I’ll take something from you in return.”
“You’re the one with the Luosha Token?” Nangong Yurou said while caressing her Guqin. “How can someone in the late True Energy Realm have the Luosha Token? Unless all the geniuses from Luosha Kingdom are dead?”
“Have you ever met someone in the late True Energy Realm that could stop your attack like that?” Ye Mo sneered. Nangong Yurou was a lot weaker than her sister. She would be around the peak Heaven’s Strength Realm. With one move, even experts in the Heaven’s Gate Realm wouldn’t be able to block her attack, let alone someone in the late True Energy Relm.
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
While Ye Mo was speaking, Nangong Yurou attacked again. Her hands danced over the Guqin, creating a moving melody, beautiful to listen to, but deadly. The sound waves from the Guqin turned into streams of green light. They formed a crisscross pattern, heading right to Ye Mo.
“Six Fingers Zen Sound: All-encompassing Net!”
Ye Mo looked up at the closing net, then took out the spear from behind his back and stabbed upward. The net of sound waves collapsed.
Suddenly, a pair of Nangong Yurou’s flawless jade fingers pressed down on the Guqin at the same time. The dispersed waves surrounded Ye Mo and burst.
The Sound Wave Net was just an initial attack that everyone could avoid. The later attack was the real killing move. The opponent wouldn’t be able to escape as the sound waves shook around them. Once it exploded, it would become even more powerful.
If other Sound Wave masters saw this move, they would all be surprised. Nangong Yurou’s zither technique had reached an extraordinary level.
Unfortunately, she had met Ye Mo. That meant she was bound to fail.
