The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 843: Chapter 844: The Appearance of the Execution Squad

Following Jiang Yuan back to his dormitory, Ye Mo saw a task notification appeared at his door, explicitly naming him to eliminate all Profound Heaven Realm oceanic beasts in the Southern Spirit Sea and to bring back ten thousand sixth-rank water attribute beast cores, with a time limit of one month.

Beside it was a map, but this map only outlined the Southern Spirit Region, far from depicting the entire Zone of Desolation.

Taking the task sheet, without delay, Ye Mo flew directly toward the Southern Spirit Sea. The Heavenly Sword Society was a thousand miles away from the Southern Spirit Sea, and within three hours, Ye Mo reached an island near the Southern Spirit Sea.

This island was quite magnificent, with undulating mountain ranges everywhere, and when Ye Mo landed, it felt like a small continent.

This island was called Living Island, and some humans also resided there. Ye Mo planned to seek out these people and learn more about the situation.

Crossing the overlapping mountain ranges, Ye Mo discovered several simple straw huts among them, surrounded by fences, with an old man inside, sun-drying fish and other items in the courtyard.

Ye Mo approached, and upon seeing him, the old man immediately picked up a stick, eyeing Ye Mo warily, "Who, who are you?"

"Grandpa, I am a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Society, here to eliminate the demon beasts in this sea domain."

Ye Mo said with a smile.

"So, you’re a master from the Heavenly Sword Society, please sit down."

The old man released the stick in his hand and led Ye Mo into the straw hut, bringing him a glass of water.

"Grandpa, are you alone?"

Ye Mo sipped the water and asked with a smile.

"Yes, my spouse, my children, all were eaten by oceanic beasts, only this old bag of bones is left. I’m afraid they’d think my meat too old to eat."

The old man sighed.

"Grandpa, don’t worry, I’m here to wipe out those oceanic beasts, so you won’t fear them anymore."

Ye Mo said.

"What? You want to kill those oceanic beasts? They’re powerful, young man, you’re still young, don’t die by their hands."

The old man expressed concern.

"Don’t worry, Grandpa."

"Nowadays, those with strength won’t eliminate these oceanic beasts, but you powerless ones come instead. In this sea domain, there are a dozen islands, and every day, several innocent people die."

The old man sighed.

"Those with strength?"

Ye Mo looked puzzled.

"Today, I was almost eaten by an oceanic beast, fortunate that a young girl intervened and saved me. Accompanying her were three men. After saving me, they asked about the Lingwu Continent. Judging by their appearance, they didn’t seem to be from the Lingwu Continent."

The old man said.

Hearing this, Ye Mo felt a stir in his heart and asked, "Is the girl with long black hair, wielding a spear, all dressed in black, and extraordinarily beautiful?"

"How do you know?"

The old man exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Ye Mo, it seems the Chaos Absolute Kill Group has arrived, and even Gu Xingyue is among them."

The little girl said.

"Well, I don’t know their strength yet, but as long as it’s not Qiankun Fourth Rotation, I’m not afraid."

Ye Mo responded in his mind.

"I’m friends with them."

Ye Mo deliberately said.

"Are you? They haven’t left Living Island yet."

The old man’s words tightened Ye Mo’s nerves completely.

The Chaos Palace dispatched four experts to kill him, and Ye Mo was in constant danger. Hearing that these four were on Living Island, and one was someone he knew.

"Grandpa, in that case, I’ll take my leave first."

Ye Mo immediately departed, his current plan being to first survey the situation, assess the four’s strength. Since they were on Living Island, discovering their location should be easy.

"Brother Ye Mo, let me try!"

The little girl emerged from the Sumeru ring, extending her senses. The Yuan Chi of Heaven and Earth in the Lingwu Continent was exceptionally dense, making it difficult even for Ye Mo’s seventh-tier Heart Training to cover much ground, so he relied on the little girl.

"In the northwest of Living Island, there indeed are four strong presences, but I can’t determine their strength yet."

The little girl said.

"Little girl, hide back inside, and we’ll go take a look!"

Ye Mo navigated the undulating mountains, and shortly, he saw four people gathered in a valley ahead.

As he gradually approached, Ye Mo sensed the strength of these four. Judging by the surface energy fluctuations, each of them was stronger than Ye Mo. The most surprising was that Gu Xingyue’s strength had also advanced to Qiankun First Transformation.

"Is this the strength of the Chaos Absolute Kill Group? Indeed formidable, but if they want to kill me, it’s far from sufficient."

Ye Mo was inwardly startled. The strongest among them had the Qiankun Third Transformation, but Ye Mo naturally wouldn’t consider them ordinary martial artists, as they were all champions of the Thousand City Battle, each capable of taking on a hundred single-handedly.

"Ye Mo, you brat, so you are here."

Suddenly, a cold, stern voice rang out, not from the Chaos Absolute Kill Group, but emanating from behind Ye Mo.

This voice was very familiar.

"Is it Song Shuang?"

Ye Mo was shocked.

The four from the Kill Group—Yuan Tian, Nie Zhen, Huo Yan, and Gu Xingyue—also heard this voice and were taken aback. Hearing the words "Ye Mo" stunned them even further.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the four transformed into shadows, darting out explosively.

Ye Mo, not lingering, immediately veered off to escape. This time, he was under assault from both the front and rear.

"Ye Mo, let’s see where you run to today; Hsiao Hai deliberately revealed your whereabouts to us. Today, you’re dead for sure."

Song Shuang chased after Ye Mo without any pause, accompanied by Song Xiyuan, who had the Qiankun Second Transformation.

"That Hsiao Hai, I’ll definitely butcher him when I get back."

Ye Mo finally realized that the task was merely a ruse; having Song Shuang and Lü Xiyuan come to kill him was the real purpose. With Song Shuang’s hatred of Ye Mo, they definitely wouldn’t let him go.

And neither would the four from the Chaos Absolute Kill Group.

"Fly toward the sea!"

The little girl said.

"Okay!"

Ye Mo immediately unfurled the Red Dragon Wings, his speed soaring once again, heading toward the Southern Spirit Sea. Facing six people simultaneously, he couldn’t possibly contend; with the Kill Group’s strength still unclear, he dared not act rashly.

Ye Mo’s speed was indeed swift. With the Red Dragon Wings unfolded, the distance from Song Shuang and the four from the Kill Group gradually increased.

Then, just when Ye Mo thought he could shake them off, three figures suddenly tore through space, appearing directly, arms crossed, hovering over the sea, blocking Ye Mo’s path.

"To think we’d meet you on Living Island; your luck doesn’t seem very good, does it?"

These three were exactly the three from the Chaos Absolute Kill Group—Yuan Tian of Qiankun Third Transformation, Nie Zhen, and Huo Yan of Qiankun Second Transformation.

They managed to achieve this through the Qiankun Second Transformation, allowing them to teleport their figures whenever and wherever.

"I anticipated you would find me, just didn’t expect you’d be so eager, coming to the Lingwu Continent."

Previously, Ye Mo focused on the four, missing out on Song Shuang and Lü Xiyuan, which led to the current situation.
