The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1255: Chapter 1256: Soul Riding Heavenly Lion

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Murong’s words, all the soldiers and leaders shouted in unison, their voices interwoven, filled with ferocity and murderous intent.

Ye Mo once again released Little Jing, leading the team forward.

This time, Ye Mo’s squad did not suffer an ambush, and the hundred-man army smoothly arrived at the edge of the abyss.

However, the army of the Wraith Camp had yet to arrive.

"Boy from the Lingwu Continent, Ye Mo, you truly dare to accept the challenge, it seems you are well-prepared."

Flying towards them was a massive beast, more than twenty zhang long. It resembled a dragon, but only had the body of one, with the head of a lion, a pair of enormous wings, and imposing barbs covering its wings.

This beast, though not aesthetically pleasing, was certainly imposing. Streams of breath emitted from its nostrils, causing the soldiers of the Spirit Martial Camp to flinch slightly.

Standing atop the beast were two figures, led undoubtedly by Ao Zi. Behind him stood a middle-aged man, likely his deputy.

What surprised Ye Mo was that Ao Zi had not brought soldiers, only a man and a beast.

"The Soul Riding Heavenly Lion!"

Upon seeing the enormous creature, even the Wraith Demon Emperor was filled with disbelief in his eyes.

Noticing the Wraith Demon Emperor’s change, Ye Mo frowned, realizing that this beast was not simple.

He could feel that this so-called Soul Riding Heavenly Lion was not a regular Demon Beast. Solely from its aura, it had reached the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations and carried an ancient malevolent aura.

"It seems Ao Zi must be Ao Cangwu’s son."

The Wraith Demon Emperor commented.

"Who is Ao Cangwu?"

Ye Mo asked curiously.

"Haha, you don’t even know who Ao Cangwu is, yet you dream of revenge? The Soul Master’s real name is Ao Cangwu, and this Soul Riding Heavenly Lion is his mount. The fact that Ao Zi rides Ao Cangwu’s mount indicates he is likely Ao Cangwu’s son. Do you know the origin of this Soul Riding Heavenly Lion?"

The Wraith Demon Emperor asked again.

"This Soul Riding Heavenly Lion was born from the essence of the Wraith Energy of Heaven and Earth, achieving an indestructible state, to the point where even the Wraith Land couldn’t contain it. Eventually, it was sealed with Wraith Origin within Ao Cangwu’s body to restrain its power and was taken as a mount."

The Wraith Demon Emperor said casually.

To gather the Wraith Energy of Heaven and Earth signified embodying Wraith Origin, with the Wraith Energy undispersed, it indeed became immortal.

"It seems the Soul Master Ao Cangwu truly values Ao Zi."

Ye Mo exclaimed in surprise, then his eyes glimmered fiercely.

Ao Zi looked at Ye Mo, having to admire Ye Mo’s courage as he had dared to come to the battle.

"No one comes seeking death; since I dared to accept the challenge, naturally, I have the means to deal with you!"

Ye Mo smiled lightly, his expression relaxed.

The words fell, and the leader beside Ao Zi’s face tightened, also having to admire Ye Mo’s courage.

"Haha, faced with Lord Soul Rider now, do you still have your previous confidence?"

Ao Zi said, and the Soul Riding Heavenly Lion roared suddenly. Instantly, a monstrous roar, accompanied by a fierce aura, swept over the abyss, impacting fiercely, a terrifying aura exploding out, sending the hundred soldiers floating in the air flying.

"Just a filthy pig!"

Ye Mo sneered with disdain, and simultaneously, Lu Xian’s arm shone with purple light, with a black flame wheel emerging in his palm.

He could now condense three spirit essences, releasing it three times.

"Hmph, courting death, let me show you the power of the Soul Riding Heavenly Lion!"

Ao Zi snorted coldly, and the Soul Riding Heavenly Lion opened its mouth wide, spewing out terrifying Wraith Energy, wildly rushing out, causing wind and clouds to move. Endless space twisted under the near-tangible Wraith Energy’s impact, forming a spiraling storm directly bombarding forward.

The soldiers watching turned pale at this scene, just the mount’s attack was so terrifying, how could they defeat Ao Zi?

Ye Mo watched the spiraling storm, and the black flame wheel in his hand suddenly cut through.

The black wheel struck the storm, instantly tearing it into two. The terrifying spiritual flame burst forth, instantly igniting the Wraith Energy into a massive sea of fire.

Watching this scene, Ao Zi’s face showed astonishment.

"Master Ao Zi, flee quickly!"

The leader beside him shouted immediately.

Sure enough, a wheel of fire cut through the black flame, targeting them.

Ao Zi’s face changed, and the Soul Riding Heavenly Lion soared upward, but the black flame wheel was like a homing missile, chasing after them.

"Damn, what kind of martial art is this?"

Ao Zi’s face turned aghast, and he drew out a longsword with terrifying power to strike at the wheel.

Boom!

Crackle!

The Immortal Artifact’s longsword shattered abruptly, and the wheel burst into black flames, raging chaotically.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Ao Zi’s body retreated repeatedly.

"Master Ye Mo’s methods are indeed formidable."

"Haha, serves that kid right for showing off."

The soldiers of the Spirit Martial Camp watching this scene smiled with joy, as no one had expected that the first clash would see Ye Mo gain the upper hand.

Ye Mo’s move had clearly made the opponent suffer, something no one had anticipated.

"This move is indeed intriguing!"

Ao Zi’s face darkened; he had been beaten so badly by a single move from the opponent.

"I wonder if you can handle this move?"

Ye Mo expended another drop of spirit essence, condensing an Immortal Cycle of Life and Death.

Staring at the wheel in Ye Mo’s palm, the black flame kept leaping, causing Ao Zi’s heart to palpitate.

"Hmph!"

Ao Zi’s face suddenly turned icy, and a violent aura began to emanate from his body.

Clearly, Ao Zi was preparing to use his true strength.

Boom!

Ao Zi’s power surged like a flood, as if a volcano had erupted. His body spread wide, and massive amounts of Wraith Energy poured from the Soul Riding Heavenly Lion into him.

Suddenly, a huge demon shadow appeared behind him, its howl resounding through the heavens.

Those soldiers below the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations felt their scalps tingle, the terrifying aura almost suffocating them.

Even the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death paled significantly under this aura.

However, Ye Mo did not show any sign of weakness, his body moving, activating the Dragon’s Chant Domain, cutting towards Ao Zi with the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death.

This scene made the leader beside tremble with fear.

Someone dared to confront Ao Zi’s move head-on; this was surely courting disaster.

"Haha, come on then, today I’ll show you, our Dead Soul Holy Clan’s Demon Devouring!"

As the words fell, the demon shadow behind Ao Zi expanded furiously, and with overwhelming power, it swept forward, distorting even Ye Mo’s Dragon’s Chant Domain.
