Chapter 644: Ingenious Way of Ending Things
With Ling’er’s advice, fighters in the Half Profound Realm were completely helpless against the seal attack, let alone the Ninth Tier Transcendence Realm, unless they were able to completely hide their aura. If not, they would be restrained and taken alive.
“Tsk tsk, Ye Mo’s four seals are way too strong. One to defend himself, one to restrain his opponent with their own aura, and one to use the Hand of Judgement to unlock the defense of his opponent using a powerful attack. Finally, he could use the fire techniques to add on to the attack.”
“I wonder who cultivated those seals. If I could get those four seals, I’d have a chance even if I were fighting a fighter in the Half Profound Realm.”
“When the competition ends, I’ve gotta ask Junior Ye Mo.”
Watching on, there were already some Ninth Tier Saints who had ideas of establishing ties with Ye Mo. Such seals were enough to make them go wild.
“Saint Ancestor, where did your disciple learn techniques like that?” Even the City Master was somewhat shocked. “How can he combine the seals with such perfection?”
As top figures of the Zone of Desolation, they had seen plenty of fighters use seals in battle. But even they had never seen seals combined so well.
“I didn’t teach him that,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said with a satisfied smile. “He learned all of this by himself.” She was very pleased with her disciple.
Chu Tian, looking on, was filled with anger. That Ye Mo had used seal after seal to not only defeat Chu Tian, but even Human Dao Palace’s Liu Qingyun.
“Damn it, Ye Mo is despicable.” Li Huo scowled.
“Li Huo, Ye Mo had used his seals in successive fashion,” Chu Tian said coldly. “His True Energy has to be depleted. Go up and kill him now. The Saint spot is yours for the taking.”
“Yes!”
Without waiting for Elder Tao Tie to announce the results, Li Huo jumped onto the stage, looking at the depleted Ye Mo. Instantly generating a Li Huo Sword in his hand, he pointed at Ye Mo and said, “Ye Mo, you’re dead for sure.”
“I’m dead for sure?” Ye Mo opened his hands once again as another set of four seals appeared. He said, “I wonder if you’ll be able to withstand these seals any better?”
Seeing that Ye Mo had once again taken up four completely connected seals, everyone watching was shocked again. Was Ye Mo made of seals or something? He took out three sets of seals at one go.
“You, don’t scare me. You don’t even have much True Energy left now?”
Looking at the seals in Ye Mo’s hands and that confident smile of his, Li Huo’s heart was struck by uncertainty. There was a slight tremble in his voice.
“Really? Liu Qingyun said the same thing as well.” Ye Mo laid out the seals in his hands and said, “Actually, these four seals are pretty valuable. I don’t want to waste them. If you’re willing to admit defeat and surrender, it’d be best for everyone. If you refuse to do so and insist on challenging me, I’d have no choice but to waste these four seals. But your ending will be no better than Liu Qingyun’s. Do you want to give it a try?”
Li Huo swallowed hard multiple times. Had everything with Liu Qingyun not happen, he wouldn’t have hesitated. But he was afraid. Once Ye Mo activated the seals, there was a high chance that he would end up just like Liu Qingyun.
“Li Huo, don’t let Ye Mo scare you,” Chu Tian roared when he saw Li Huo’s hesitation. “He doesn’t have that kind of strength. Quickly finish him off now.”
“I don’t have that kind of strength? Chu Tian, has your strength recovered?” Ye Mo smiled cunningly as he said, “How about this. I can plead to Elder Tao Tie and allow you to participate in Li Huo’s place. How about that?”
“What did you say? You want another round with me?” Chu Tian hadn’t expected Ye Mo to say something like that.
“No, it’s like this: It’s another chance for me to kill you because I didn’t manage to last time,” Ye Mo said calmly.
“Bastard!” Chu Tian roared. Just as he was about to rush up onto the stage, Nian Bing pulled him back and said, “General Tian, don’t be rash. Ye Mo looks too confident – I’m afraid that he really capable is of activating the seals.”
Chu Tian’s eyes lit up in anger as he looked at Ye Mo. If looks could kill, Ye Mo would be dead a hundred times over.
“What trash. To think that you’re the leader of the First Heaven Society’s four main generals. Turns out, you’re just a coward. Oh well.” Shaking his head, Ye Mo turned around and told Li Huo, “I’m going to give you three seconds. If you refuse to admit defeat, then I’ll have to waste these four seals.”
As Li Huo stared at those four seals, his breathing grew heavier as he clenched his teeth and said, “I admit defeat!”
Ye Mo sighed. He was really pushing his luck – he definitely didn’t have the strength to activate those seals. He needed time to recover his strength.
But Ye Mo showed none of those concerns. Facing Elder Tao Tie, he said, “Elder Tao Tie, it’s time to announce the results.”
“Hmm?” Elder Tao Tie was stunned for a moment. It was such an ingenious way to conclude a dramatic Saint Elect Tournament.
“For this Saint Elect Tournament, Ye Mo has emerged victorious, and is now a Saint of the Door of Desolation.”
Applause!
As Elder Tao Tie finished speaking, the watching Saints started clapping, lead by Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber. Plenty of elders followed her lead.
Ye Mo becoming a Saint with strength in the Third Tier of the Transcendence Realm was a first for the Door of Desolation.
“I object!” a voice cried. Elder Wu Tian walked out. With a calm voice, he said, “I object to Ye Mo becoming a Saint.”
Ye Mo clenched his teeth and said, “Elder Wu Tian, what do you mean by that? I’ve defeated all of the participants in front of Elder Tao Tie, Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber, and the City Master. What grounds do you have to object?”
“Because you do not have the right to do so,” Elder Wu Tian said coldly. “Based on true strength, there is no way that you would have been able to defeat Chu Tian. You merely borrowed strength from the seals. Becoming a Saint requires true ability and strength.”
“Elder Wu Tian, what do you mean by true strength and ability?” Ye Mo replied, tone just as icy. “I cultivated those four seals myself. It is my right to use my own seals. Why can’t I become a Saint?”
Boom!
Ye Mo’s words sent people into a frenzy once again. If Ye Mo’s ability to combine the seals and defeat the others was surprising, the fact that he had cultivated those four Level Four Ninth Tier Seals himself was even more shocking. Even Elder Tao Tie, Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber, and the City Master looked shocked.
“This Ye Mo is too talented,” Li Huo said. “Even his seal techniques are so powerful. We need to find a way to eliminate him. Now that he’s a Saint, it will be even harder to kill him.”
“Hmph, there are plenty of First Heaven Society forces among the Saints of the Door of Desolation,” Chu Tian said as he led Li Huo and Nian Bing out of the arena. “Ye Mo can forget about leading those Saints. Only the Young Master can do that. Now that we’ve failed our mission, let’s wait for the Young Master’s return and await our punishment.”
Just as the three of them were prepared to leave, they could hear Ye Mo’s voice behind them. “Li Huo. Actually, I really didn’t have the strength to activate the four seals just now.”
