The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 854: Chapter 855: One Sword

"Du Feng, do you really want to become the Sect Leader that badly?"

Ye Mo found it amusing; even if Liu Xinghai were still alive and entrusted the Star Sea Sword to him, it was only to test his character, not his strength.

"According to your logic, only someone with strong Sword Qi cultivation would be favored by Senior Liu Xinghai? Yet I’m a spear user, but Senior Liu Xinghai still entrusted me with the Star Sea Sword."

Ye Mo spoke with a mocking smile, causing Du Feng and the others to look extremely displeased.

"Your name is Ye Mo, right? You’re indeed bold to act so arrogantly in our Heavenly Sword Society. I’ll ensure your death is unpleasant."

Wang Zhong’s gaze was filled with killing intent. If he could kill Ye Mo on the spot, Du Feng would definitely focus on training him.

"You can try."

Ye Mo stood calmly on the arena. His black hair and white robe fluttered as he remained fearless despite being watched by many.

The breeze gently brushed by, stirring Ye Mo’s cultivation robe and his long hair danced in the wind. At this moment, Ye Mo exuded the uninhibited spirit of youth.

At that moment, Liu Qingtai’s gaze was fixated on Ye Mo, without blinking.

"Senior Brother, let me experience his Sword Qi cultivation and see how capable the one favored by the Sect Leader is."

Wang Zhong stepped onto the arena again, speaking casually. Having just achieved a victory for Du Feng, it was another opportunity to showcase himself, one he wouldn’t miss.

"Wang Zhong, test this kid."

Du Feng nodded, and then heard hurried footsteps. A disciple rushed to the pavilion, whispered to Hsiao Hai, and immediately Hsiao Hai’s expression changed drastically.

Noticing this, Du Feng frowned and asked, "What’s happened?"

"It’s that kid. He was constantly opposing me before, so I assigned him a task to exterminate the oceanic beasts in the Southern Spirit Sea Domain. In just one day, he returned with many beast cores, claiming to have completed the task. I didn’t believe it; how could someone at the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm eliminate the oceanic beasts of the Southern Spirit Sea Domain? But yesterday, when I sent a disciple to the Southern Spirit Sea Domain, he reported back saying the oceanic beasts there were almost all gone, as if they vanished into thin air."

Hsiao Hai said anxiously.

Du Feng squinted his eyes at Ye Mo on the arena and said dismissively, "Do you think it was Ye Mo?"

"Yes!"

Hsiao Hai nodded.

"Do you think it’s possible? Use your brain, even if I went myself, it’s impossible to kill so many demon beasts in such a short time."

Du Feng laughed coldly.

Killing so many oceanic beasts in one day is definitely not something one person could accomplish.

Listening to their conversation, Liu Qingtai’s eyes blinked, her gaze fiercely locked onto Ye Mo.

"Kid, since you’re in such a hurry to die, I’ll oblige you. Remember, I have a title in Nanling, the Sword Rain Warrior."

Wang Zhong spoke arrogantly, taking a step and unleashing the Xuan Aura from his body. Another longsword appeared behind him, and as Sword Qi shot out in all directions, it transformed into a rain of swords, completely enveloping Ye Mo.

Ye Mo stood his ground, unmoving, raising the Star Sea Sword in his hand slightly. A sharp, domineering aura flashed and vanished, just a gleam of sword light.

On the opposite side, Wang Zhong let out a miserable scream as the longsword in his hand fell to the ground, his arm dripping with blood.

All the attacks in the air instantly dissipated.

Within the crowd, observing this, everyone winced with wide eyes, unable to comprehend the sword technique Ye Mo used.

But this scene thoroughly shocked the Elders and personal disciples, even Du Feng and Liu Qingtai.

The Star Sea Sword is a top-grade Celestial Weapon, and only those who practiced the Star Sea Technique can wield it. Disciple who learned the Star Sea Technique were only those personal disciples, yet Ye Mo wielded it effortlessly.

Even Ye Mo didn’t realize that his action had caused such a sensation.

Ye Mo could wield the Star Sea Sword entirely because of the Demon Dragon Power, which could suppress all strength. Not to mention top-grade Celestial Weapons, even Immortal Artifacts, and treasures above Immortal Treasures could be used.

The move Ye Mo demonstrated wasn’t any specific sword technique; using his command of combat experience and strength sufficient to crush the Third Rotation of Qiankun, he could easily defeat Wang Zhong even with a tree stump.

"Sword Rain Warrior is simply not worth a blow."

Ye Mo’s indifferent voice sent a shiver through all disciples.

The disciples were shocked by Ye Mo’s sword technique, while the Elders and revered masters were astounded that Ye Mo could wield the Star Sea Sword so effortlessly, enough to prove that Ye Mo had indeed met Liu Xinghai, who had entrusted the Star Sea Technique to Ye Mo.

"No, impossible, absolutely impossible. How could he wield the Star Sea Sword?"

Du Feng was utterly distraught watching this, his painstakingly laid plans shattered by a mere newcomer, which was entirely unacceptable to him.

"Hmph, Du Feng, the facts have proven that my father is not dead, and he has passed the position of Sect Leader to me."

Liu Qingtai sneered coldly and glanced at Hsiao Hai, noticing his terrified look. Only now did she see how filthy the man before her was.

However, fortunately, she now recognized his true nature.

"Do any Senior Brothers or Junior Brothers have any doubts about my identity?"

Ye Mo raised the Star Sea Sword high, and seeing no one refuting, he smiled, "In that case, I’ll hand over the Star Sea Sword and Ice Soul Sword Qi to Senior Sister Qingtai. She will be our Heavenly Sword Society’s new Sect Leader."

With that, Ye Mo flew up to the pavilion, placing the Star Sea Sword and Ice Soul Sword Qi beside Liu Qingtai, saying, "Senior Sister Qingtai, here you are."

Liu Qingtai gazed into Ye Mo’s deep eyes, reminiscent of when she once expelled him from the estate, her heart filled with a trace of guilt.

"Thank you!"

Liu Qingtai took the Star Sea Sword and Ice Soul Sword Qi, then announced loudly, "Fellow Senior and Junior Brothers, as well as Elders and revered masters, though my strength is lacking and I find it difficult to lead decisively, my father has entrusted me with this responsibility. I naturally will not refuse and hope we, Senior and Junior Brothers, will work hard together for the cultivation, striving to make our Heavenly Sword Society stronger. This month’s stipend will be doubled."

Liu Qingtai’s voice spread, especially the announcement of doubling the stipend, making all disciples enthusiastic and they began to shout "Sect Leader" loudly.

The Elders and revered masters did not step forward to oppose, meaning they tacitly approved of Liu Qingtai’s status.

Meanwhile, Du Feng glared at Ye Mo with a sinister face, his eyes full of murderous intent.
