Chapter 75: Releasing the Phoenix Curse

Ye Mo could felt a huge pressure just from looking at Mo Feng’s purple body. The pressure came from the difference of power, the difference in their levels. Even with the help from the Rising Dragon Pillar and the Dragon Energy, Ye Mo could still clearly feel Mo Feng’s overwhelming strength.

“Brother Ye, I think he has merged with the Yin Poison Grass. You’re no match for him. Hurry up and run!” Ling’er shouted in his mind.

Ye Mo gripped the Formation-Breaking Spear tightly and stared at Mo Feng. Since he’d used up 16 Dragon Energies from before, he could not muster his full strength anymore.

Xiao Yue hadn’t fled the scene. She stood there as the lion statue soared in the air waiting for her command.

“Yueyue!” Ye Mo suddenly shouted.

“Huh?” Xiao Yue looked at him.

“Hurry up and run. Go and inform the elders!” Ye Mo said with a serious expression.

“No! We’re leaving together! I’m not leaving you here alone!” Xiao Yue jumped onto the lion. Her blue eyes, white mask, silver armor, and black hair danced as she moved, like a war goddess descending from the heaven.

“Do you think I’m going to let both of you leave?” Mo Feng kicked the tree and propelled himself forward. His speed was so fast that only a trail of purple shadow could be seen behind him.

Ye Mo eyes widened, and he quickly took out the Flame Charm. He summoned the remaining Dragon Energies in his Energy Center to the charm and threw it towards Mo Feng.

The size of the charm multiplied mid-air and turned into a flaming chain.

The Flame Charm was a Rank One Charm that got Ling’er’s seal of approval. It had the power to seriously injure a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artist. After he threw the charm, Ye Mo quickly rushed towards Xiao Yue.

Xiao Feng kicked the ground and charged towards Mo Feng. “M’lady, Ye Mo, hurry up and run!” He shouted.

“Let’s go!”

Without the Dragon Energy, Ye Mo could only rely on the Five-Elements Energy. His speed had dramatically declined. Xiao Yue controlled the lion to Ye Mo’s side and extended her hand. Ye Mo looked at her graceful hand and was stunned by its beauty for a moment. He quickly grabbed her arm, and Xiao Yue pulled him up onto the lion. She steered the lion toward the exit.

“Xiao Feng, I’ll definitely avenge you.”

“Don’t go to the exit!” Ye Mo shouted.

“Why?” Xiao Yue asked.

“Even though the Flame Charm is powerful, it’s not enough to harm Mo Feng. With his speed, he’ll arrive at the exit before us and wait for us there!” Ye Mo explained.

Xiao Yue quickly made the lion turn to the opposite direction. They found a cave in the forest. The lion went back into its charm, and they hid in the cave.

“Ye Mo, how are your injuries? Are they serious?” Xiao Yue asked when she’d noticed that Ye Mo was out of breath.

“I’m fine, I just wasted too much energy,” Ye Mo said as he swallowed a few Stabilizing Pills. The Rising Dragon Pillar began to absorb the Natural Energy around him. Yet the Dragon Energy recovering speed was slow. It still needed some time before all 37 energies were recovered.

“Ye Mo... Why are you treating me so well? You kept sacrificing yourself to save me...” Xiao Yue looked at Ye Mo.

“Should there be a reason? I’ve vowed to protect you forever ever since we became friends,” Ye Mo said.

“Forever?” Xiao Yue said.

Suddenly, the cave began to shake, and Mo Feng’s voice could be heard outside. “You two still dare to act all sweet and romantic when you both are about to die? Then let me bury both of you together!”

Boom!

A huge rock dropped and sealed the exit.

The cave kept on shaking. Ye Mo’s face darkened as the cave began to collapse. Mo Feng wanted to bury both him and Xiao Yue in the cave alive.

“Ye Mo! The cave is collapsing!” Xiao Yue shouted as she unsheathed her sword and sliced the dropping boulders into pieces.

“Watch out!” Ye Mo pushed Xiao Yue away and summoned 10 Dragon Energies into his hand. He held the huge boulder that weighed more than 10 tons. Even with the help from the Dragon Energies, it still put a toll on him.

The boulder was so massive that Ye Mo began to breathe heavily. Xiao Yue stood beside him, not knowing what to do. She was shorter than Ye Mo, so she couldn’t reach the boulder above them.

This was the first time she understood what it meant to have a person who would shield you even if the sky fell. Ye Mo was doing so with his fragile body.

“Ling’er, is this it? Am I going to die here?” Ye Mo couldn’t even muster the strength to speak. He could only communicate with Ling’er in his mind.

“Even without the falling boulders, you won’t be able to withstand much longer. Even if you somehow managed to live, you would still have to find a way to escape,” Ling’er said. Her doll-like face expressed concern for the first time ever.

And yet suddenly, another explosion could be heard. Ye Mo suddenly felt another 10 ton weight added to his shoulder, forcing him to kneel. His arm’s muscles exploded and his arms became covered in blood.

Xiao Yue kneeled on the floor, helping Ye Mo to hold the boulders up. Yet, she was only a Spirit Cultivating Third Realm martial artist and couldn’t do much.

“I’m sorry. I promised I’d protect you for eternity, but it looks like we’re about to die here...” Ye Mo spat out the sentence word by word with difficulty.

“Ye Mo, I’m not even supposed to live in this world. No matter what, please live on!” Xiao Yue made a difficult decision and took off her mask. Ye Mo looked at her and was shocked by what he saw.

“Shocking, isn’t it? I’m not the beauty everyone thought I was. I’m just a cursed child!” Tears began to roll down Xiao Yue’s cheeks.

He really was surprised by her face. Phoenixes formed by green poison burns could be seen on each of her cheeks. Her face was like the sky where the Phoenixes soared.

“It’s the Phoenix Curse!” Ling’er shouted.

“What’s the Phoenix Curse?”

“It’s one of the four ancient curses! The person who has the curse feels intense pain from it. Judging by how she’s been living well until now, her family must’ve invested a fortune on her. I think she’s trying to release the poison inside the curse!”

“Release the curse?” Ye Mo was startled.

“She doesn’t have the strength to control the curse! If she released it, it would give her tremendous power for a short while, but then the curse will start to eat her up!”

“N-no! Stop!” Another Dragon Energy was replenished and the pressure from the boulder decreased as Ye Mo shouted.

“I love you, Ye Mo.” Xiao Yue kissed his cheek and released the curse. The Phoenixes awoke and began to expand like they were trying to escape from her body. “Release!”

An infinite amount of green energy surrounded Xiao Yue and exploded, miraculously avoiding Ye Mo, and destroyed the whole mountain around them.
