Chapter 1069: Black Lightning Arc

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: mjn0898

Jing Yingli saw Ye Mo was fighting with his life and shook her head speechlessly. She didn’t choose to escape first. She believed that she would still have an opportunity to escape once Ye Mo was killed.

This time, Jing Yingli didn’t hold back. She shot a few sound arrows with her flute. The sound arrows seemed to have materialized and even turned into extemely fast white mist. It pierced the sword ray formation that was just crushed by the Lightning Leopard and hit it.

The Lightning Leopard was dazed briefly, and in this time, Ye Mo used the Illusion Cloud Formation Kill Strike right away. He threw out the formation flags even faster. The Lightning Leopard wasn’t as fierce as before, but Jing Yingli knew that even if the Lightning Leopard stood still and let them attack it, they wouldn’t be able to kill it quickly.

She really didn’t understand why Ye Mo had to kill this Lightning Leopard. If they ran away this time, Jing Yingli was sure that the Lightning Leopard wouldn’t keep hunting.

But she knew that Ye Mo wasn’t going to leave like this after paying such a price.

With the flute attack, this Lightning Leopard took nearly 8 minutes before hacking open Ye Mo’s sword ray formation. But this time, Ye Mo didn’t keep using the purple sword rays to trap the Lightning Leopard. He even took back the octagonal cauldron.

Just when Jing Yingli still dazed, Ye Mo suddenly said to her, “Retreat!”

Jing Yingli heard this and immediately retreated. She thought Ye Mo was planning to escape and was planning to mock him.

But before she could talk, Ye Mo threw out a few more formation flags as well as countless spirit stones. Suddenly, a formation appeared, trapping the Lightning Leopard.

The leopard immediately realized that it was trapped and got very desperate. It started charging around everywhere trying to break free, but the formation seemed very sturdy. The Lightning Leopard spent a long time and wasn’t able to break free.

In its desperation, it started spitting lightning orbs again, trying to break free.

The lightning orbs struck the trap formation and had great effect, but everytime one broke the trap formation a little, Ye Mo would repair it with a few formation flags.

Seeing this, Jing Yingli looked at Ye Mo in shock and said in disbelief, “You’ve set up such a level five trap formation in such a short time, you’re a level five formation great master?”

Then, she felt she was speaking the obvious, if Ye Mo wasn’t a level five formation great master, how could he set up a level five formation? She sighed before Ye Mo could reply, “A level five formation great master under 100 years of age…”

After a long while, she sighed. “I thought there were people smarter or more talented than me, but they were hard to encounter. But there really are such geniuses in the cultivation realm. A level five formation great master before 100 years, you’re probably only about 30 to 40 right?”

Ye Mo didn’t answer. He didn’t want to think about such pointless questions. If she knew that formations were just a side skill for him and his main skill, pill concoction, was level four pill king level, what would she be like? If she knew he was cultivating 8 elements at the same time, would she commit suicide?

Another 15 minutes later, the Lightning Leopard was clearly out of energy. But Ye Mo didn’t repair the formation anymore, he raised his hand and threw two lightning arcs inside.

“You’re a lightning element cultivator too?” Jing Yingli was dazed again. Lightning element cultivators were very rare and they were the strongest in terms of battle power. She didn’t understand that since Ye Mo was a lightning element cultivator, why did he only use the lightning arc now? Why didn’t he use it before?”

But even Ye Mo was surprised with himself. He saw that the lightning he used was black.

“Your lightning is black?” Jing Yingli also noticed this.

After his initial shock, Ye Mo immediately realized that after he devoured the World Mountain’s black lightning source, his lightning’s color must’ve changed.

Ye Mo nodded. “Although I’m not a lightning element cultivator, I also cultivate lightning style.”

“You just used the Lightning Cloud Sect’s 11 Lightning Swords, but it’s different. I suggest you don’t use this everywhere or there could be really serious consequences,” Jing Yingli reminded him.

At this moment, Ye Mo appeared more and more mysterious in her eyes. He wasn’t a pure element cultivator but his speed was extremely fast and he was a very powerful fighter too.

She said before that even if Ye Mo wanted to kill her, he wouldn’t be able to. Now, she didn’t dare to think that. If Ye Mo fought with her, just that sword ray formation was already hard enough for her to break.

She couldn’t compare with the lightning leopard. If she was trapped and Ye Mo used that black lightning arc, she would be killed if she couldn’t run away. Plus, this nascent soul state level four was a formation great master. If he got stronger, how could he fear a 9-star sect?

Ye Mo wasn’t going to use this in front of others even without Jing Yingli’s reminder. The reason he used this now was because it did the least harm to the Lightning Leopard’s skin.

Jing Yingli was smart and knew why Ye Mo used the 11 Lightning Swords. She also helped Ye Mo attack with her flute.

If Jing Yingli wasn’t here, Ye Mo would think of Shadowless for help, but now that she was here he didn’t need to call out Shadowless. Who knew if they would fight in the future?

Little did Ye Mo know that if he didn’t fight with the Lightning Leopard and he had conflict with Jing Yingli, they might really fight, but because Jing Yingli saw this battle, she wouldn’t fight with Ye Mo, at least not here.

The level seven Lightning Leopard couldn’t even self destruct its beast core and could only howl in pain before its death.

Seeing that Ye Mo paid the price of heavy injury to kill the level seven Lightning Leopard, she was very speechless. If she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she would never believe a nascent soul state level four could kill a level seven Lightning Leopard.

Ye Mo put away the formation flags and looked at the Lightning Leopard in joy. This was a level seven Lightning Leopard, Ye Mo could see a very good quality low grade or even middle grade cultivation artifact. He was injured, but it was worth it.

“When I saw this Lightning Leopard, it was fighting with another level seven One-Horned Tiger. I wanted to wait until they were both injured, but the tiger ran off. The Lightning Leopard found me and vented its anger on me. I could only run, luckily I used you.” Jing Yingli saw Ye Mo collect the Lightning Leopard’s materials with great expertise and sighed.

Ye Mo heard this and stopped his actions before asking in surprise, “You’re saying before the Lightning Leopard fought with us, it had already fought with another level seven beast for a long while?”

Jing Yingli nodded. “Yes. Otherwise, I suppose that even if you used your formation and the purple sword rays, you might not be able to kill this Lightning Leopard.”

Ye Mo fell silent. He knew Jing Yingli was right. If the Lightning Leopard wasn’t too exhausted from the fight before, his only option would be to run.

His confidence had been inflated too much when he kept killing genius cultivators above his level. Ye Mo felt a sense of vigilance. If this continued, he would eventually pay a heavy price.

“Oh, by the way, there’s another level seven Hollow Seed Fruit there. Now that the Lightning Leopard is gone, let’s go pick it.” Jing Yingli saw Ye Mo fall silent and immediately remembered why she went to see the two beasts fight.

“Okay.” Ye Mo collected the skin and tendons before giving Jing Yingli the beast core. “This is for you.”

Jing Yingli quickly rejected. “You almost single handedly killed the Lightning Leopard, the beast core is the most valuable part of it, I can’t take it.

Ye Mo smiled. “Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to kill the Lightning Leopard. Plus, I only need the skin to make a set of armor. As for other things, they’re precious but I don’t mind. And thanks for saving my life, you can have the Extreme Mirror back.”

Jing Yingli was very smart and she immediately realized that Ye Mo meant he already removed his soul mark.

She casually shined the mirror at Ye Mo and saw there was no more shadow on Ye Mo’s back. She was immediately shocked. “You removed the soul mark yourself? How did you do it?”

Ye Mo smiled, he wasn’t going to tell her he had the heaven flame.
