The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 407: Desert Monster Swamp

“Dragon Blood?”

Ye Mo picked his brows as he said, “My Dragon Blood Powers are unstable even now. If I manage to unleash it next time, I will allow you to absorb it. However, you have to meet one condition.”

“What condition? Is owning me not enough for you? As long as you can find enough weapon spirit for me to devour, it won’t be a problem for me to recover back to being a deity weapon.” The Sky Blood Spear’s weapon spirit said.

Ye Mo said, “It’s Ling’er. She took a hit from a Transcendence Realm fighter’s attack in order to protect me. Now she has completely formed into a seal. Is there any way for her to be revived?”

“You’re saying that the little seal spirit’s soul has been destroyed and that she has completely turned into a seal? Haha, how great.” The weapon spirit let out a gasp before laughing loudly.

“What did you say? How great?” Ye Mo almost exploded in rage upon hearing the weapon spirit’s words. He had repeatedly promised Ling’er to help her restore her human form. However, not only did Ling’er not recover her human form, she even sacrificed her own life trying to save him. It could be said that Ling’er had already become a part of Ye Mo. He was going to save her no matter what.

“Hmph, she left me and the Master in such a dire state. Does she not deserve to die?” The weapon spirit said stubbornly.

“You were infamous for killing countless people. I’m guessing a lot of holders of justice have died at your hands,” Ye Mo said coldly. “Ling’er was ordered by her master to come after you two. She was merely doing an act of justice, wasn’t she?”

“You? They must have been fooled by the Master.”

The Sky Blood Spear had killed countless people, to the point that the Sky Blood Lady felt the negative effects of the Sky Blood Aura, even losing consciousness because of it. She naturally knew that she had killed plenty of people to gain strength.

“Let me tell you, I am your master now. Furthermore, don’t think of controlling me, because I will be stronger than you. Also, tell me the way to save Ling’er. Otherwise, I shall put you in hibernation, forever hiding your feared name from the rest of the world.” Ye Mo’s shadow carried a hint of a dragon’s fury, instilling fear in even the weapon spirit.

The Ancient Seven Weapons were all weapons, but there was a ranking between each one of them. The Sky Blood Spear was ranked third. However, with weapon spirits having their spirituality, they naturally had their egos as well – everyone wanted to be top amongst the Seven Weapons.

If she was thrown into the abyss by Ye Mo, she would never get the chance to return. Furthermore, she subtly felt that following this young man’s path would lead to her name being heard all across the heavens and earth.

The weapon spirit immediately replied, “No, no, don’t abandon me. I can only tell you that to save that seal spirit, you have to go to the Door of Desolation. There is an extremely powerful seal artist there, and it’s only him who may have the solution. However, let me remind you, the seal artists at the Door of Desolation might be powerful, but he is still a few tiers below seal artists at their true peak. Greed is part of human nature; he may end up scheming against you if he finds out that you are a deity level seal.”

“Understood! I will do my best to unleash my Dragon Blood Powers.” Nodding his head, Ye Mo retracted his spiritual sight. Opening his eyes, he saw Mu Qing staring coldly right back at him.

“What’s wrong, Lady Mu Qing?” Ye Mo asked.

Mu Bo explained, “Little brother Ye Mo, I see that you look to be recovering well; you should have no more problems moving around. I still have some things that I would like to discuss with the Lady. You being here is indeed rather inconvenient.”

Seeing that Mu Qing was about to erupt, Ye Mo nodded and said, “Alright, which carriage do I take?”

“You can pick any of the last three carriages. Everyone inside are Mu Family guards. Don’t try to do anything funny, their tempers are not the best.” As she spoke, she signaled for the carriage to stop. Ye Mo hopped into the final carriage and the carriages resumed moving. The carriage was spacious and could easily contain ten people. Adding Ye Mo to the group did not create any feeling of being overcrowded. Entering the horse carriage, there were ten people inside, all with lazy expressions as they leaned against the walls. These people were mostly middle-aged men and gave off dominant auras.

Ten pair of eyes locked their gazes on Ye Mo as he pulled aside the curtain and entered the horse carriage.

“Oh? Little brother, you managed to stay alive. We tried our best to prevent the Lady from saving you. Who would’ve thought that you would really wake up?”

“That’s all thanks to Elder Mu. Otherwise, he was going to be dead for sure.”

“I am Ye Mo!” Ye Mo said, putting his hands together respectfully.

“Ye Mo, was it? What is your strength level? Let me tell you, the journey that we’re going on is not going to be a smooth one. Do you want to get out the carriage now?” One of the strong men said.

“Get off?” Ye Mo asked, puzzled.

“In the Shalu Desert, there are not only strong desert monsters but also the even more frightening group of bandits called the Desert Eagles. Their leader is a fighter in the intermediate stage of the Heaven’s Gate Realm. Even Elder Mu isn’t his match. If we encounter the Desert Eagles, our Mu Family carriages will be in some danger.” The strong man said as he picked his brows, observing Ye Mo’s reaction.

“Oh? Then all the more reason to stay. Lady Mu Qing saved my life. While I may not be that strong, I can still play a part if we do end up encountering the Desert Eagles.” Ye Mo said candidly.

Even though he had yet to recover his powers, if the Mu Family do encounter the bandits, he was naturally going to lend a helping hand.

“You? Playing a part?” The strong man sniggered and he said with an unimpressed tone, Let’s not even talk about the fact that you are wounded – so what if your injuries are healed? We, the Mu Family guards, are all in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. We all have the power to kill if we end up meeting the Desert Eagles. As for you, all you can do is hide inside the carriage. I suggest you get out!”

After he spoke, all the fighters in the carriage fell backwards.

“In front! A monster swamp has appeared in front!” The frightened voice of the carriage rider could suddenly be heard outside.

As the carriage steadied itself, all the guards’ expressions changed dramatically.

“Kid, just stay here and do nothing. Don’t come out.”

After that, the ten of them dashed out of the carriage. Ye Mo frowned, pulled apart the curtains and saw that a group of monsters had already gathered, forming the so-called monster swamp, and was charging towards them. These desert monsters were Wild Sand Steel Camels. They were huge – at least five metres tall – and were in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. These monsters sent sand to spiral up wildly as they sprinted, like an oncoming hurricane, a devastating show of strength.

By then, Mu Qing and Mu Bo were already out of the carriage, their expressions also changing dramatically as they saw the oncoming monster swamp.

“Darn it, we didn’t meet the Desert Eagles, but ended up meeting a monster swamp!”

Mu Bo’s expression was already not looking good. While his strength was in the initial stage of the Heaven’s Gate Realm, with the oncoming assault from the monster swamp, even he could not do anything about it.

“Elder Mu, protect the carriages, I’ll stop these monsters!” With a solemn face, Mu Qing immediately drew out a bow in her hand. The bow was shaped like a dragon – a Dragon Bow.

Whoosh! An arrow pierced through the air and the sandstorm towards the monster swamp.
