The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1289 - 1290: Final Battle at the Abyssal Boundary
Previously on The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood...
Upon Ye Mo's return to the military encampment, it was nearly empty, with only a handful of soldiers remaining on guard duty.
"Young Master Ye Mo, we thought you were all gone?" a soldier inquired.
Ye Mo offered a slight nod.
"The Blood Prison Battlefield is on the verge of a major conflict. Today marks the third and final agreed-upon match. Following this, the war will fully erupt. The third duel is already in progress at the Abyssal Boundary. Our Spirit Martial Camp’s mightiest Demi-Honored Fighter, Mu Qingfeng, is currently in a fierce bout against the Wraith Camp’s strongest, Kill Break Wolf."
Whoosh!
Ye Mo vanished from his position with astonishing speed, so rapidly that even Feng Chu and the others could not react, merely shaking their heads in helplessness. The formidable power of a Demi-Honored Fighter was truly terrifying.
"Let’s proceed to the boundary immediately and witness the extent of Ye Mo’s transformed strength," Feng Chu declared.
The group of five then ascended, flying towards the cliff's edge.
Abyssal Boundary!
At this very moment, the battlefield surged with intense battle intent, an epic confrontation reaching its zenith.
The Spirit Martial Camp had put forth Windmoon Restaurant, while the Wraith Camp countered with Kill Break Wolf.
Spectators, comprising Demi-Honored Fighters, leader-level combatants, and cultivators of the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm, densely packed both sides of the Abyssal Boundary.
This particular battle was designated as the ultimate deciding factor between the two prominent camps, and furthermore, it was the championship duel between their most formidable Demi-Honored Fighters.
Naturally, the term 'strongest' here explicitly excluded any prodigies who had been recently transported to this location.
The preceding two matches had concluded with one draw and one loss. Should this match also result in a defeat, the overall situation would become exceedingly dire.
Moreover, Hun Wuji, a significant figure, had yet to make an appearance.
"Spring Breeze Sweeping!"
Mu Qingfeng's battle cry echoed above the Abyssal Boundary.
A gentle spring breeze seemed to envelop his form, possessing not overt violence but a subtle, pervasive will that caught opponents off guard.
However, Mu Qingfeng’s adversary was none other than Kill Break Wolf, the undisputed strongest Demi-Honored Fighter of the Wraith Camp. He dared not treat the situation lightly, unleashing every unique technique he had painstakingly mastered over countless years.
Kill Break Wolf observed Mu Qingfeng’s maneuvers with an impassive expression. With a sudden motion of his wolf-like paw, claw marks materialized rapidly in front of Mu Qingfeng.
These wolf claws met the ethereal spring breeze but failed to connect directly. Instead, they were drawn into the swirling vortex, carried along by the gentle gale.
Kill Break Wolf displayed clear surprise that his potent assault had no discernible effect on Mu Qingfeng.
"Spring Breeze All Over!"
Mu Qingfeng gestured, and the spring breeze surrounding him coalesced into a majestic wind dragon. This dragon, imbued with the might of a Demi-Honored Fighter, launched itself towards Kill Break Wolf, causing the very fabric of the surrounding space to buckle and shatter.
"Wolf Smoke Rising!"
Kill Break Wolf bellowed, and plumes of dark smoke erupted from unseen sources, accompanied by the spectral howls of wolves. These coalesced into predatory wolf shapes, hurtling directly towards the advancing wind dragon.
Boom!
Upon their violent collision, both combatants were forcefully pushed back a significant distance. This marked the first truly impactful clash, with no discernible victor emerging.
"This battle appears to possess a degree of suspense," commented Li Murong, her gaze fixed intently on the unfolding spectacle.
"Father, I believe Master Mu Qingfeng is in considerable peril," Li Han Guang stated, his voice laced with concern. "I can sense Master Mu Qingfeng's power gradually diminishing, while Kill Break Wolf's reserves of strength remain robust and undiminished."
Indeed, Mu Qingfeng had once been a celebrated Demi-Honored Fighter, a figure who had lived for tens of thousands of years. He had previously been a cultivator of the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm within the Spirit Martial Army, only to be subsequently imprisoned by the oppressive Power of Laws within the Vanquishing Martial Realm.
After a millennium of confinement, he had finally attained Demi-Honored status, yet even this achievement could not fully shield him from the harsh ravages of time.
Conversely, Kill Break Wolf was in the absolute prime of his life, a martial artist at the apex of his power.
"Mu Qingfeng, your strength wanes with each passing moment. It appears your age has finally caught up to you. Allow me to employ my ultimate technique to vanquish you!"
Kill Break Wolf guffawed, his form leaping with incredible agility through the air. The space beneath his feet fractured with each bound, allowing him to instantly materialize before Mu Qingfeng, unleashing a ferocious claw strike.
Confronted by this devastating assault, Mu Qingfeng’s expression grew grim. As the claw descended, he felt an inexplicable binding force that rendered his limbs immobile.
"Could this be the ability to infuse domain power directly into an attack?"
Mu Qingfeng’s mind reeled with shock. He hastily raised his longsword to parry, but the constricting energy made even the slightest movement of his arm a Herculean effort.
"Ah!"
With a pained cry, Mu Qingfeng exerted his will, shattering the binding force. He managed to position his sword horizontally for defense just as Kill Break Wolf’s attack landed squarely upon it.
Bang!
The impact sent Mu Qingfeng hurtling backward uncontrollably.
"Mu Qingfeng, this contest should conclude here. In our previous encounter, I was unable to claim your life. Do you possess the same fortune today?"
Kill Break Wolf declared, stomping his foot firmly upon the void. The space beneath him shattered into scintillating fragments as he vanished from his original position.
With another swift movement, the very air around him vibrated intensely.
A swift scan revealed that Kill Break Wolf had mysteriously appeared behind Mu Qingfeng.
Kill Break Wolf raised a hand, which transformed into a colossal wolf's paw. Blood-red claws gleamed ominously, emanating a chilling aura.
Die!
*Thud!*
The paw struck the back of Mu Qingfeng’s head, crushing his skull.
Miraculously, Mu Qingfeng's head began regenerating at an observable pace. Kill Break Wolf smirked and delivered repeated blows.
Li Murong’s expression shifted drastically as she shouted, "Charge! Don't let him kill Mu Qingfeng!"
Immediately, the only two Demi-Honored Fighters from the Spirit Martial Camp, along with several Peak fighters from the Wheel of Reincarnation, surged forward.
"Haha, such ignorance! Even Mu Qingfeng couldn't match me, how can a few of you make a difference?"
Kill Break Wolf sent Mu Qingfeng flying with a kick. The void convulsed violently as claw marks ripped through the air, striking the leaders of the Spirit Martial Camp. With a mere flick of his wrist, a spray of blood mist erupted, instantly felling three Wheel of Reincarnation Peak fighters.
"Haha, Kill Break Wolf, it appears this battle won't require our intervention."
The Chimimouryou brothers chuckled in unison.
"I initially had no intention of coming to this Blood Prison Battlefield, but then Ye Mo from your camp killed my brother. Blame that Ye Mo."
Kill Break Wolf stood with his hands clasped behind his back, floating in the void like a proud, solitary wolf surveying all below.
"A large number makes no difference, but I wonder if adding me would turn the tide?"
At that very moment, a frigid voice echoed from the heavens. Everyone watched as a sharp silhouette streaked through the sky, arriving before them in an instant.
"How is this possible? He's not dead?"
Wangliang stared at the newcomer, his face a mask of disbelief.
"Ye Mo!"
Kill Break Wolf looked at the figure in surprise. He had been informed by the Chimimouryou that Ye Mo had met his end by his hand, even having his heart removed.
"Previously, you vowed to spare me if I could withstand three moves. Now, I shall allow you to make three moves. If you manage to withstand them, then I shall spare you."
Ye Mo's voice was calm, yet it sent tremors through everyone present.
This Ye Mo was actually challenging Kill Break Wolf to take three moves, knowing full well that Kill Break Wolf had just defeated Mu Qingfeng, the strongest Demi-Honored Fighter of the Spirit Martial Camp.
