Chapter 101: Ye Xiaodie vs. Yumo

In the Fifth Layer of the Shadow Peak Martial God Hall, two beautiful figures stood prominently.

These two people are Ye Xiaodie and the Martial God Phantom Peak Master Yumo of the Fifth Layer of the Shadow Peak Martial God Hall.

Peak Master Yumo, a mature and intelligent beautiful woman, she is the most gifted talent since the founding of Shadow Peak.

Speaking of assassination ability, Peak Master Yumo could be called the foremost among the Azure Cloud Six Peaks; if she went all out in assassination, she could render the first peak master of Sword Peak, the Three Swords True Person, helpless.

Of course, this is thanks to her Dao of assassination; she possesses a godlike ability to appear and disappear, as well as bizarre and varied assassination abilities.

Thus it can be seen, her methods are extraordinary.

At this moment.

Only Ye Xiaodie, at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, stood calmly before Peak Master Yumo.

Although Peak Master Yumo possesses the strength of the late Nascent Soul realm, she has no fear whatsoever.

Before, she had challenged the Martial God Phantoms of Sword Peak and Pill Peak; the mid Nascent Soul Martial God Phantom could do nothing to her.

And she came to Shadow Peak this time, naturally attaching great importance, because Shadow Peak, like her, cultivates the Dao of assassination; she wants to test how capable her own Dao of assassination is.

Furthermore, if one wants to discover one's shortcomings, one must fight more against stronger peers of the same kind; only then can one progress.

Thus.

She therefore chose to directly challenge Peak Master Yumo, who is at the late Nascent Soul realm, with her Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

The purpose is very simple.

First, to break through to the Nascent Soul realm under supreme pressure.

Second, to break through to the elementary Dao of assassination.

Ye Xiaodie raised her head, glanced at Peak Master Yumo, and a powerful aura emanated from her.

She respectfully and firmly said: 'Senior Yumo, today I, Ye Xiaodie of the junior generation of Dao Peak, presumptuously come to challenge.'

Peak Master Yumo raised her eyebrows slightly, speaking with a hint of contempt: 'A Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment challenger? Your courage is commendable, but don't blame me for not showing mercy.'

Ye Xiaodie's expression remained composed as she slowly replied: 'Although I know the realms differ greatly, this is a trial of the Dao of assassination.'

'I hope senior will not take those into account and thus show mercy.'

Peak Master Yumo narrowed her eyes: 'You little girl, you are somewhat interesting; knowing there are tigers in the mountain, you still go towards the tiger mountain, and you do so with such confidence.'

'Since you are so confident of victory, then let's test whether your strength is also as certain of victory.'

'Please!'

Ye Xiaodie nodded slightly.

'Good!'

Peak Master Yumo responded with a sound, and the battle instantly opened its curtains.

Her figure flickered, disappearing like a phantom in the dark night.

Immediately after.

Several darting shadowy darts shot out from the void, their bodies flashing with cold light, silently attacking Ye Xiaodie's vital spots all over her body.

Ye Xiaodie remained calm, the radiance of her Shadow Holy Body suddenly appeared; as the flying darts shot toward her, she also hid within the shadows, simultaneously silently reciting the Shadow Assassination Heart Sutra, nimbly moving through the shadows to evade the shadowy darts.

'Some ability, but not too much.'

Peak Master Yumo's voice sounded as if coming from hell: 'Little girl, do you think you can escape my hunt?'

Ye Xiaodie's calm voice came from her hidden state: 'Senior, don't speak too confidently; the outcome is still unknown.'

In an instant.

Ye Xiaodie then silently appeared behind Peak Master Yumo, thrusting out a dagger wrapped in shadow power.

Peak Master Yumo, naturally also a genius, naturally sensed this; she flashed like an agile black leopard, dodging Ye Xiaodie's attack.

Immediately, she drew her waist-mounted soft sword with a backhand, striking back like a spirit snake.

After the strike failed, Ye Xiaodie quickly made a plan to retreat, once again sinking into darkness.

The two fought back and forth, yet this left the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden outside the fifth layer staring agape.

'Dao Peak?'

'Being on the same peak as Li Yilan, how can they both be so formidable?'

'What exactly is this Dao Peak? Why have I never heard of it, yet every disciple that comes out of Dao Peak is so terrifying?'

Actually.

After witnessing Li Yilan's prowess, she also planned to first not go teach Lin Yang's disciples, but instead go challenge the Martial God Hall of the Azure Cloud Six Peaks.

Thus these days, she has been wandering around the Martial God Hall of the Six Peaks, knowing nothing about outside affairs.

She also did not know that Dao Peak is actually the peak founded by Lin Yang.

But at this moment, her curiosity about Dao Peak has reached the extreme.

She continued watching the battle between Ye Xiaodie and Peak Master Yumo, secretly planning that after watching this battle, she would go to Dao Peak to see the situation.

'What kind of place can produce such formidable disciples, and who taught them?'

As for going to help Lin Yang teach his disciples, she simply does not want to bother.

———————

The battle continues.

After several rounds, old ginger is still spicy.

Ye Xiaodie deeply knows the gap between herself and Peak Master Yumo, yet she does not retreat at all, her heart firm: 'I must break through.'

'Only by breaking through the realm can there be hope to defeat her.'

Peak Master Yumo naturally also perceived Ye Xiaodie's thoughts, giving rise to a feeling of cherishing talent.

However, for such talents, if during the breakthrough one does not give her some intensity, then the breakthrough will merely follow the crowd.

To break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, one must naturally endure pressure.

Then, the Feather Ink Peak Master's attacks grew increasingly fierce.

She twisted her body, locked onto Ye Xiaozhi who was hidden, then her whole form melted into the shadows and emerged from the shadow above Ye Xiaozhi's head.

The soft sword in her hand glowed with a dark light, stabbing down fiercely like a meteor in the night sky.

At the same time, she tapped her toes lightly, and several flying darts shot out from the soles of her shoes, aiming at Ye Xiaozhi's lower body.

"Let's see how you respond!"

The Feather Ink Peak Master's series of moves was as fast as lightning and utterly silent.

Ye Xiaozhi instantly felt the pressure; the Feather Ink Peak Master's attacks were truly too fast, continuous without gap, unstoppable.

The situation at hand.

Either flee.

Or fight.

If she were to flee, the faint breakthrough opportunity she had just realized would also slip away.

Then fight!

"Break the cauldrons and sink the boats, fight it with no regrets!"

Facing the Feather Ink Peak Master's attack, Ye Xiaozhi actually emerged directly from her hidden state.

She made a resolve to resist fearlessly unto death.

Seeing this.

The Feather Ink Peak Master smiled faintly; this little girl indeed did not disappoint her.

She wanted to put pressure on Ye Xiaozhi, and Ye Xiaozhi, being cooperative, accepted that pressure and even directly broke the cauldrons and sank the boats.

Face it bravely.

The Feather Ink Peak Master's attacks kept closing in on Ye Xiaozhi.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess beside them felt her heart rise to her throat.

Yet Ye Xiaozhi's inner aura kept rising.

"Ng!"

"Weng!"

"Hua!"

"Boom!"

At that moment, Ye Xiaozhi's spiritual power surged like a broken dam, a mighty force rushed through her meridians.

Her body trembled slightly, spiritual light shimmered on her skin, her meridians widened and expanded, her bones crackled as if being reforged, her blood and marrow transformed, her aura rose, as if she were being reborn, stepping into a new level of cultivation.

A Purple Mansion unexpectedly appeared within her, inside which curled a tiny embryonic tooth, its aura extremely faint yet emitting a faint glow.

Moreover, that Nascent Soul embryo flickered in and out of existence, as if it inherently possessed the ability to hide.
