Chapter 694 - 689. Qin Mo Surrounded by Enemies

After retreating ten steps to the side, Xia Ye stepped sideways with his left foot, stabilizing his body by stepping on a small dirt pit.

Gradually, the confident expression on Xia Ye’s face solidified as he lowered his head to look at his hand—the hand that Qin Mo had kicked.

There’s a bit of numbness!

For the sake of appearances, Xia Ye hurriedly put the numb hand back but his expression couldn’t form the same confidence as before when he felt the paralysis that couldn’t be immediately dispelled.

This kick showed many things.

If this kick came from the Upper Profound Realm, he would believe it!

But if they say it was kicked by someone in the Lower Profound Realm, he absolutely wouldn’t believe it.

Yet it was his own body that got kicked, he had no choice but to believe.

"Very good! Very good!" As he spoke, Xia Ye repeatedly clenched his fist, accelerating blood flow to alleviate the numbness.

"I didn’t expect it to be someone who specializes in power I’ve always admired. My Xia Family’s Barbaric Demon Spirit Body is renowned as the Heaven and Earth Lake’s number one defense and power Spirit Body. Today, I’d like to learn a thing or two."

After speaking, Xia Ye clenched his teeth, and his whole body began to swell.

Riiip—

The sound of his clothes being torn by the bulging muscles from his upper and lower body came sporadically.

However, because of the slightly oversized robe covering him, the changing muscles under the clothes weren’t exposed. But after a few breaths, the oversized robe was fully stretched. From the outline imprinted through the clothes, the terrifying state of Xia Ye’s body was still visible to Qin Mo.

Afterwards, Xia Ye picked up a stone and casually crushed it with his hand that wasn’t affected by numbness.

Bam!

The stone shattered into more than a dozen pieces, scattered all around.

Xia Ye rubbed his hands eagerly and said, "The Minor Achievement Realm Barbaric Demon Spirit Body, please advise!"

"We haven’t had any grudges before, right?" Feeling the rising Qi and sharp murderous intent from the opponent, Qin Mo felt somewhat speechless.

Is this person crazy?

Everyone else is running forward to capture Demons and gain points.

But why is this person targeting him?

Could it be... they have been exposed!

At this moment, Xia Ye’s mocking voice came, "Such a childish brat. No grudges? You know Bainian Xiang, so you have a grudge with me. Prepare to die!"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Ye stepped forward with a Deep Sound. After a few steps, accompanied by the vibration of the Meridian Gate, a giant Ox Demon slowly manifested. The Ox Demon’s red eyes angrily stared at Qin Mo, charging along with Xia Ye’s ferocious run. Seeing this, Qin Mo hurriedly cast a Fire Dragon Skill out, and quickly retreated.

After all, the opponent is Upper Profound Realm.

The Fire Spirit Body is pretty good, but it can’t simply overlook the perception of two minor realms.

Boom!

The Fire Dragon was rammed by the Ox Demon and exploded in mid-air.

In the midst of the blazing flames, Xia Ye charged out steadily without suffering much damage, only pausing for a few breaths.

Qin Mo pushed back while his mind raced on what to do.

"It’s not working, using the Fire Dragon Skill to attack someone in the Upper Profound Realm is too lacking."

"Moreover, using it to counter such top talents from Heaven and Earth Lake, Innate Anomaly Vein formidable people, is insignificant. After all, I just acquired the Fire Dragon Skill not long ago."

"Skills like the Fire Snake Skill may be mastered, but those can’t bridge the gap of two minor realms."

After a bout of brainstorming in his mind, Qin Mo directly pulled out a sword.

Sword Control Skill—Activate!

The sword transformed into a white glow, continuing towards Qin Mo.

Of course, the Fire Dragon Skill didn’t idle either; as soon as the Sword Control Skill was activated, the Fire Dragon Skill followed out.

Qin Mo figured it out. If the opponent has astounding strength, then don’t let him get close. Using both Fire Dragon Skill and Sword Control Skill would simultaneously exhaust him.

At this moment, Xia Ye suddenly halted upon seeing Sword Control Skill.

In the team competition, the scene of Bainian Xiang using this move against him suddenly resurfaced in his mind.

Even now, he still felt uneasy.

So the next moment, Xia Ye instinctively rolled sideways to dodge the coming sword. His mind instantly became chaotic.

What to do?

This person also knows such a strange swordsmanship!

What if he also pulls out a flying broom...

Xia Ye shuddered unconsciously, his heart filled with some fear. Of course, it wasn’t fear of Qin Mo himself. Rather, it was fear that Qin Mo might pull out a broom that can fly. He watched as Qin Mo’s attack arrived, having no option to turn back, Xia Ye hurriedly rolled aside to dodge a sword, controlling the Ox Demon behind to meet the Fire Dragon head on. Meanwhile, he concentrated all his focus on the sword behind him, guarding against it flying back to stealthily attack him from behind.

Boom!

The Ox Demon collided with the Fire Dragon, and the Fire Dragon exploded directly, instantly covering Xia Ye in a sea of fire.

This time, Xia Ye couldn’t deal with the Hellfire as calmly as before, leaving him to be burned while only thinking about that sword.

It’s coming!

The moment the white glow entered the sea of fire, Xia Ye’s perception immediately captured it, and he hurriedly grabbed the ground single-handedly, pulling out an earth pillar twice his size from beneath, and hurled it fiercely when the sword was imminently close. Meanwhile, his whole body rolled sideways several times frantically. He certainly didn’t think his Vein Qi-conjured stone pillar could block Qin Mo’s sword; he merely intended to slow the sword’s speed, otherwise at such close distance, he couldn’t possibly dodge it.

The Xia Family Spirit Body’s strength is Heaven and Earth Lake’s first, and defense also first, but reaction speed was definitely not the first.

This sword flew back and forth at such speeds; whether it’s the first or not is uncertain, but he dared claim he’s never seen a faster attack method.

"No way, I have to think of a way to get close to him. Being constantly consumed by the Fire Dragon and also guarded by the flying sword isn’t sustainable; facing the situation with Bainian Xiang all over again." After dodging this sword, Xia Ye quickly sorted his chaotic thoughts, trying to find a solution. After pondering, he could only think of betting that Qin Mo doesn’t have a flying broom.

If he doesn’t, then once he’s close, things would be manageable.

After all, perception difference is there.

How many punches can Xia Ye endure from him?

In the next quarter-hour, Xia Ye kept striving towards this goal, using all his strength.

Even though several times he got very close to Qin Mo, with only a few feet between them, yet in an instant, Qin Mo would widen the gap.

Clearly, dealing with both the Fire Dragon and the flying sword, trying to approach Qin Mo, was exceedingly difficult.

Xia Ye quickly searched his mind for a solution.

But unfortunately, his brain isn’t often used, and suddenly trying to use it wouldn’t conjure a solution right away.

As time went on, Xia Ye grew more frustrated.

When has he ever suffered such a humiliation?

Though he was overshadowed by Xia Jin and didn’t bear the title of Xia Family’s top genius, it was only so.

Within the same realm, who dared to provoke him?

Yet within just a few short days, being humiliated by Bainian Xiang, now fighting Qin Mo is feeling just as suffocated.

If it weren’t for the perception difference, he would absolutely leave at once, no longer fight on. But because of the perception difference, Xia Ye believed he could surely drag Qin Mo down.

...

"Hong Wu, let’s part ways here." Nanmen Chang glanced around, identifying the direction he should go.

Next to him, Hong Wu nodded, "After the Demon Slaying Competition, let’s return to the Xia Family with honor together."

The two bumped their fists and exchanged smiles.

The time has come to make a name for themselves in Heaven and Earth Lake!

Having hidden their identities for so many years in Myriad Phenomena Sect, it was time to step onto the stage of Heaven and Earth Lake with their true identities.

It’s a pity that despite hiding for so long, the purpose was to let the Hidden Dragon Sect falter at the Centennial Gathering’s Rookie Battle, yet unexpectedly, it was the Hidden Dragon Sect who had the upper hand.

They managed to handle Wen Meng and his group.

But ultimately, Bainian Xiang cunningly stepped on them.

Fortunately, the Demon Slaying Competition relies on individual power; as long as one’s strong enough, that’s sufficient.

The two turned one after another, heading towards different directions, the starting point of their dreams lay ahead.

But right then, Hong Wu suddenly halted.

"Wait!"

"Alright, let’s go, what are you waiting for? A grown man acting like a woman," Nanmen Chang thought Hong Wu was reluctant to part, wanting to say some empowering words to encourage him.

Hong Wu frowned and said, "I just sensed Xia Ye’s presence, it seems he’s in combat..."

Nanmen Chang responded casually, "Entering the Demon Realm is precisely for slaying demons."

Hong Wu shook his head, "No, he’s not fighting demons, but humans."

"With humans!" Nanmen Chang’s casual demeanor froze instantly, "Could it be someone from the Hidden Dragon Sect, let’s go support!"

The two hurriedly raced in the direction of Xia Ye’s presence.
