Chapter 68: Thundering Python Bell

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A mass of toxic purple fumes in the shape of a giant hand swept at Ye Mo, causing him to feel an overbearing, suffocating force. He had not felt anything this threatening, not since the awakening of his powers.

This was the prowess of a martial artist who specialized in Purple Poison Techniques, surpassing most Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artists.

Ye Mo did not expect this mysterious man to just challenge him on the spot. In fact, he could almost smell the bitter scent of hostility emanating from the man. However, Ye Mo could not deny the fact that this man would indeed be helpful to Xiao Clan in the Scavenger Hunt.

Ye Mo displayed no fear when facing the giant gas palm, as the 36 dragons circling his Energy Center collectively gave a mighty roar, travelling to the five Gates at the speed of light. Ye Mo’s presence immediately expanded, black Yuanli coalescing around him. He thrusted out a powerful punch, and a wave of destructive Yuanli appeared and surged towards the giant purple palm.

“This is nothing!”

The fumes dissipated under Ye Mo’s counterattack, but the masked man only smirked, and with a twist of his hand, the gas reassembled into the shape of an enormous bell. The bell swept towards Ye Mo, the pythons on its surface hissing and puffing poison gas.

“Thundering Python Bell?” Xiao Yue’s face paled as she realized what the bell was. She hastily cried, “Wu Qing, don’t hurt him, he’s my friend!”

The other customers in Hundred Treasure Pavilion began to gather at the scene, but no one intervened as Thundering Python Bell was a martial technique of at least Spiritual level.

“Yue Yue, his powers won’t injure me. In fact, I’d love to see what the Thundering Python Bell is capable of!”

Staring at the bell, Ye Mo stood his ground. With a flick of his wrist, he positioned his fingers for Bullet Touch, readying himself to intercept the Thundering Python Bell.

“Bring out your weapon! That won’t be enough to break my Thundering Python Bell!”

Dong!

The bell began to spin in mid-air, the pythons carved on its surface spinning in a frenzy, causing the air around it to vibrate. The Yuanli daggers released from Ye Mo’s Bullet Touch hit the bell but did nothing.

“Crush him!”

The masked man gestured with both hands, and without skipping a beat, the bell tripled in size to almost thirty feet in height and sailed down towards Ye Mo.

It was almost as if the Thundering Python Bell was going to suck everything in. It spun and spun towards Ye Mo, the cacophony of harsh ringing reverberated around the room, shaking everyone to their core.

Due to this technique being based upon Toxic Fume Style, not only could it trap enemies, the sound it made and the toxicity it possessed could all immobilize the enemy. It was an extremely powerful technique, bordering on surpassing Spiritual Level.

Ye Mo was sucked into the bell, and with a loud clang, the very foundations of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion shuddered from the bell falling on top of Ye Mo.

“Ye Mo, you disappoint me. My Thundering Python Bell can imprison you for several days and nights, and even after you escape, you’ll be suffering from the effects of the poison!” said the masked man disdainfully. One strike from the Thundering Python Bell was sufficient in crushing Ye Mo.

But before he could say anything else, Ye Mo’s voice sounded from underneath the bell, loud and clear, “You can have your bell back, I’m sending you to hell!”

The bell exploded, and Ye Mo emerged from the shattered remains like a black dragon, Formation-Breaking Spear in hand, aiming for the masked man.

Not expecting his attack to be intercepted, he stood still in surprise for a short moment, and in that short moment, his hands were hit by Ye Mo’s spear. He took a few steps back. However, his hands appeared to be unharmed, as if they were coated in metal.

Ye Mo’s powers far exceeded the masked man’s expectations, so much that this slip-up was merely an accident.

“You broke my Thundering Python Bell!” exclaimed the masked man.

“You thought that you could win against me with your trivial attacks? I detect something sinister about this Poison Technique you use. I’m warning you, leave Yue Yue’s side!” said Ye Mo.

“Ye Mo? How did you suddenly become so strong?”

Xiao Yue did not pay attention to the masked man, but rather, stared at Ye Mo with a mixture of astonishment and disbelief. Her mother introduced this masked man to Xiao Clan, and after several rounds of fighting between him and Xiao Feng, she fully realized how powerful the masked man was.

“Yue Yue, I encountered something akin to a miracle in Spirit Valley, which strengthened my Gates and veins. My skills have far exceeded anyone else who is on the same level as I!”

“Haha, so what if there was a miracle in Spirit Valley? True, you intercepted my Thundering Python Bell. But that wasn’t even the full extent of my powers, arrogant fool!”

“Haha, coincidentally, that wasn’t the full extent of my powers either. If you want to continue, please go on ahead!” Ye Mo chuckled, fearless, stabbing his spear on the ground.

A flash of bloodthirst flitted across the masked man’s face, the cloud of purple gas in his palm beginning to thicken. Once he noticed the presence behind him, he quickly retracted the cloud back into his hand.

“Excuse me sirs, this is the Hundred Treasure Pavilion. If you’re going to start a brawl, please do so outside. Don’t blame me if I have to step it!”

A hoarse voice sounded, and an old man slowly walked towards them. This was the martial artist who was halfstep towards True Energy Realm at the auction.

“Consider this your lucky day. You won’t be this lucky at the Scavenger Hunt tomorrow!” the masked man spat and left the shop without even waiting for Xiao Yue.

Seeing the masked man leave, Xiao Yue let out a sigh of relief. “Ye Mo, are you alright?” she asked worriedly.

“I’m fine. That guy can’t hurt me. Actually, why was he with you?” asked Ye Mo expectantly.

“Ye Mo, he is the skilful martial artist mother hired for tomorrow’s Scavenger Hunt. He’s in Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm, and I don’t think that was even the full extent of his powers we saw just now,” said Xiao Yue anxiously, thinking about the masked man’s words.

“Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm? That’s nothing. But I really think you should be wary of him,” said Ye Mo. He continued, “did you come here to buy something?”

“Oh yes, I’m looking to purchase some parchment for my seals. I want to refine my Beast Seals, since I’ll be able to control Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm beasts if I succeed. I will try to obtain as many resources as I can for Xiao Clan tomorrow,” said Xiao Yue.

“Yue Yue, I’m also qualified for tomorrow’s Scavenger Hunt, and I will make sure Ye Clan and Qin Clan return empty-handed. By the way, I’m also here for parchment. Let’s go take a look at them together!” said Ye Mo.

Xiao Yue nodded, blushing furiously. Walking together, the two looked like a loving couple.

“Ye Mo, why would you need to buy parchment? Are you a sealing artist?”

“Yes, I’m actually investigating on ways to craft seals. You’ll see the fruits of my labor tomorrow!”
