In Ye Tianxing's residence, Ye Qingming's life was no longer in danger after taking a pill. But the wound on his face was hard to heal. Ye Tianxing's heart ached as he looked at his unconscious son.
This was his hope, and the future of the Ye clan.
Now that he was in such a state, his hatred for Li Mo reached its peak. But he wasn't an impulsive man. First Elder told him everything, including the possibility of Li Mo having a cloaking magic treasure.
Ye Tianxing had no choice but to give up on his revenge.
To have a cloaking magic treasure, this person was no ordinary person. He had to investigate his background before making his move, or he'd bring disaster to the Ye clan.
The next morning, Li Mo left the relay station and went to the arena. He didn't bring Liu Yan and Bai Xiao today, leaving them at Liu Changhe's side.
This was to prevent the Ye clan from retaliating again.
"Shui Wuhen?" Li Mo looked at his opponent's name and found it special.
It sounded like a girl's name, but he had never seen a female martial artist among the contestants. Even in the entire continent, female martial artists were rare.
When the match started, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh when he saw his opponent.
"Looks like my luck has run out!"
He didn't expect Shui Wuhen to be the handsome young man in white who was as strong as him.
Li Mo nodded politely as a greeting.
But his opponent's expression didn't change, not even a ripple of emotion. Only a pair of phoenix eyes that would make a woman jealous glared at Li Mo.
Perhaps he didn't expect to meet someone as strong as him in this competition!
With the field elder's order, the match began.
Shui Wuhen was the first to attack, but this time it was like heaven and earth. She used a magic treasure she never used in the previous matches.
That whip flickered with golden light. It danced in Shui Wuhen's hand like a flood dragon.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
She lashed three times at Li Mo, who dodged quickly. The whip left deep grooves in the ground.
Missing, Shui Wuhen lashed her whip at Li Mo again.
She didn't give him a chance to retaliate.
Li Mo had no way to deal with the whip's attacks. He could only dodge, unable to get close to Shui Wuhen.
Pa!
The whip cracked and Shui Wuhen's forehead was beaded with sweat. Every swing drained her internal qi, but Li Mo was like a loach. Her attacks couldn't even touch him.
"If this goes on, my consumption will be much greater than my opponent's!"
Just as Shui Wuhen's attack speed began to slow down, Long Chen's eyes lit up.
Dodging left and right, Li Mo knew it was time to attack. Grasping his sword, he dashed forward and stabbed at the water opponent.
Shui Wuhen's reaction was outstanding. She retracted her whip and held it in front of her, spinning it to form a barrier that blocked Li Mo's attack.
Ding!
Li Mo's sword couldn't pierce the barrier. After a long stalemate, it finally split in two!
Shui Wuhen's eyes shined as she removed the barrier and sent a beautiful roundhouse kick at Li Mo's head.
'Burning Sun Fist!' Li Mo shouted and punched Shui Wuhen.
Boom!
Their fists and legs collided, and the resulting shockwave forced the two of them to take a few steps back before they could stabilize themselves.
Shui Wuhen had always advanced easily in the tournament, never meeting a true opponent. She thought she could easily take first place, but her opponent turned out to be so troublesome.
Li Mo didn't have it easy either. His opponent was no weaker than him, and that strange golden whip could both attack and defend, giving Li Mo a headache.
In the VIP stands, Ye Tianxing watched Li Mo's match with a sinister face, wishing the white-clothed youth would tear Li Mo to pieces.
However, Ye Tianxing was completely unaware that Liu Changhe was whispering something to Prince Gong Xian, who was not far from him.
Yiyang County's governor Wang Duo's face flickered.
Most of the matches were over, but Li Mo and Shui Wuhen were still in a deadlock. Both were cautious, not showing any openings.
Shui Wuhen's attack continued. Because Li Mo's weapon was destroyed, he saw a glimmer of hope. He wanted to finish this troublesome opponent as soon as possible.
"Flood Dragon Goes to Sea!"
Shui Wuhen finally lost his patience. He shouted and threw the whip high in the air. The golden whip released a dazzling golden light.
The phantom of a long golden dragon appeared in the sky.
Roar!
Roar!
The roar drew everyone's attention.
Shui Wuhen's face was pale as he whispered, "Li Mo, you are the first opponent who forced me to use my full strength. You should be proud to lose to my Dragon Driving Whip!"
The dragon's shadow locked onto Li Mo!
Whoosh!
Gales blew and the world changed color. The dragon's shadow bared its fangs and claws as it charged Li Mo!
Everyone was speechless at Shui Wuhen's attack!
"This … is this the strength that a Martial Master should have?"
"I'm afraid that even a Martial General wouldn't be able to resolve this attack so easily!"
…
Liu Changhe watched Li Mo with worry, while Liu Yan was sobbing. She regretted her fooling around back then, bringing so much danger to Li Mo.
Bai Xiao was the calmest. He believed his omnipotent brother Li wouldn't be defeated so easily.
"Could it be that this Dragon Commanding Whip is also a Spiritual Treasure?"
Li Mo stared at the golden dragon's shadow, not daring to hold back. In the end, he took out his scarlet sword and the area around him and Shui Wuhen turned scarlet.
Om!
Om!
Om!
The scarlet sword let out a cheerful cry!
Roar!
It turned into a scarlet dragon, many times stronger than the golden dragon's shadow in both size and aura.
He went to meet it!
"Hurry, everyone leave the field!"
The Law Enforcement Elder in the arena cried out in alarm. He was the first one to jump out of the arena. He was also an Advanced Martial Master. When he saw the attacks of the two of them, he could smell the scent of death. If he remained in the arena, even if he did not die, he would be severely injured.
Boom!
Boom!
Just as everyone left, a deafening explosion rocked the field.
Dust covered the entire arena, turning it into hell, without a trace of light to be seen.
Shui Wuhen was in disbelief that her fatal attack was nullified by Li Mo. She clutched the tarnished Dragon Driving Whip, her phoenix eyes searching for Li Mo's silhouette in the dusty arena.
Suddenly, a blinding white light shot onto Shui Wuhen's body, and a feeling of powerlessness immediately filled her body.
"Shit!"
