Ye Mo could feel a huge pressure just from looking at Mo Fengs purple body. The pressure came from the difference in strength, the difference in their levels. Even with the help of the Rising Dragon Pillar and Dragon Energy, Ye Mo could still clearly sense Mo Fengs incredible strength.
“Brother Ye, I think he has joined the Yin Poison Grass. You're no match for him. Quick and run!” Ling'er shouted in his mind.
Ye Mo gripped the Formation Breaking Spear tightly and looked at Mo Feng. Since he had used 16 Dragon Energies from before, he was unable to gather his full strength anymore.
Xiao Yue did not escape the scene. He stood there as a lion statue floated in the air waiting for his order.
“Yueyue!” Ye Mo suddenly shouted.
"Huh?" Xiao Yue looked at him.
“Quick and run. Go and tell the elders! ” Ye Mo said with a serious expression.
"No! We go together! I won't leave you here alone!” Xiao Yue jumped on top of the lion. Her blue eyes, white mask, silver armor, and black hair danced as she moved, like a war goddess descending from heaven.
"Do you think I'll let you two go?" Mo Feng kicked the tree and pushed himself forward. His speed was so fast that only a trace of purple shadow was visible behind him.
Ye Mo's eyes widened, and he quickly took out the Fire Spell. He summoned the remaining Dragon Energy in his Energy Center into the talisman and threw it towards Mo Feng.
The size of the talisman doubled in the air and turned into a flaming chain.
The Fire Spell was a Rank One Spell that got Ling'er's stamp of approval. It had the power to seriously injure Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artists. After he threw the talisman, Ye Mo quickly rushed towards Xiao Yue.
Xiao Feng kicked the ground and attacked Mo Feng. "Mrs, Ye Mo, hurry and run!" He yelled.
"Let's go!"
Without Dragon Energy, Ye Mo could only rely on the Five Elements Energy. His speed is dropping drastically. Xiao Yue controlled the lion to Ye Mo's side and extended her hand. Ye Mo stared at her graceful hand and was stunned by its beauty for a moment. He quickly grabbed his arm, and Xiao Yue pulled him over the lion. He led the lion to the exit.
"Xiao Feng, I will definitely avenge you."
"Don't go to the exit!" Ye Mo shouted.
"Why?" Xiao Yue asked.
“Although the Fire Spell was powerful, it wasn't enough to hurt Mo Feng. With his speed, he will arrive at the exit before us and wait for us there!” Ye Mo explained.
Xiao Yue quickly made the lion turn in the opposite direction. They found a cave in the forest. The lion returned to his charm, and they hid in the cave.
“Ye Mo, how's your wound? Are they serious?” Xiao Yue asked when she realized that Ye Mo was out of breath.
"I'm fine, I just wasted too much energy," Ye Mo said as he swallowed some Stabilizing Pills. The Rising Dragon Pillar began to absorb the surrounding Natural Energy. However the recovery speed of Dragon Energy was slow. It would still take some time before all 37 energies recovered.
“Ye Mo... Why are you treating me so well? You continue to sacrifice yourself to save me.” Xiao Yue looked at Ye Mo.
“Should there be a reason? I have sworn to protect you forever since we became friends, ” Ye Mo said.
"For ever?" Xiao Yue said.
The explosion!
A large rock fell and closed the exit.
The cave kept shaking. Ye Mo's face darkened as the cave began to collapse. Mo Feng wanted to bury him and Xiao Yue inside the cave alive.
“You Mo! The cave's collapsing!" Xiao Yue shouted as she unsheathed her sword and sliced the large stones that fell into pieces.
"Be careful!" Ye Mo pushed Xiao Yue away and summoned 10 Dragon Energies into his hands. He was holding a huge rock that weighed over 10 tons. Even with the help of the Dragon Energy, it still weighed down on him.
The stone was so big that Ye Mo started to pant. Xiao Yue stood beside him, not knowing what to do. He was shorter than Ye Mo, so he could not reach the rock above them.
This was the first time he understood what it meant to have someone who would protect you even if the sky collapsed. Ye Mo did so with his fragile body.
"Ling'er, is this him? 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 large stones falling, you will not be able to last much longer. Even if you somehow manage to live, you still have to find a way to escape, "said Ling'er. Her doll-like face revealed her worries for the first time.
Suddenly, another explosion could be heard. Ye Mo suddenly felt another 10-ton load added to his shoulder, forcing him to kneel. His arm muscles exploded and his arm was covered in blood.
Xiao Yue kneeled on the floor, helping Ye Mo lift the large stones. However, he was only a Spirit Cultivating Third Realm martial artist and could not do much.
"I'm sorry. I promise I will protect you forever, but it looks like we will die here.” Ye Mo said that sentence word by word with great difficulty.
“Ye Mo, I'm not even supposed to live in this world. No matter what, please live! ” Xiao Yue made a difficult decision and took off her mask. Ye Mo looked at him and was surprised by what he saw.
“Surprising, right? I'm not as beautiful as everyone thinks. I'm just a damned child!” Tears started to flow down Xiao Yue's cheeks.
He was really surprised by his face. A phoenix formed from green poison burns could be seen on each of his cheeks. His face was like the sky where the Phoenixes soared.
"This is the Phoenix Curse!" Lingers shouting.
"What is the Phoenix Curse?"
“That's one of the four ancient curses! The person who had the curse felt an incredible pain from it. Judging from how he lived well until now, his family must have invested a lot of money for him. I think he's trying to release the poison inside the curse! ”
"Releasing curses?" Ye Mo was surprised.
“He has no power to control curses! If he released it, it would give him incredible strength for a while, but then the curse would start eating him!”
“T-no! Stop that!" Another Dragon Energy was replenished and the pressure from the stone reduced as Ye Mo shouted.
"I love you, Ye Mo." Xiao Yue kissed her cheek and released the curse. The Phoenix woke up and started to expand like they were trying to escape from its body. "Deliver!"
An infinite amount of green energy surrounded Xiao Yue and exploded, miraculously avoiding Ye Mo, and destroying the entire mountain around them.
