Chapter 146: No One Can Force Me
Translator: Tim Editor: Chrissy
Seeing Du Tao who was extremely angry, Ye Mo laughed to himself. Just by his attitude, he wouldn’t get far in martial arts.
“What are you looking at, come, make it quick. I need to go pick materials after this.” Ye Mo looked at Du Tao and shook his head. In the cultivation realm, fighting someone whom one didn’t know about could cause their life with the slightest mistake.
Ye Mo could see Du Tao’s power, and that was why he was so arrogant. However, Du Tao didn’t know Ye Mo’s power and felt he could surely beat Ye Mo. This was the real mistake.
Hearing Ye Mo’s words, Du Tao just charged up and attacked. However, Ye Mo acted as if he didn’t see it at all and remained stationary. Judging by Du Tao’s personality, he would use his legs straight up and try to beat him down using the shortest time, without using his fists at all. And, it was just as Ye Mo expected, Du Tao’s fists were hollow attacks as he concentrated his power on his legs.
Before Du Tao’s fist reached, his right leg kicked like a straight line as if a whirl wind.
Ye Mo nodded. Du Tao’s legs were far cry from Wu Qiang, but his speed was nearing the latter’s. Wu Qiang’s legs were not only fast but also powerful. Even with Ye Mo’s power, his legs felt pain after kicking Wu Qiang’s leg twenty times.
Du Tao’s speed was just below Wu Qiang’s, but his power and angel was a far cry from Wu Qiang. Moreover, Du Tao had this implausible idea. He wanted to kick Ye Mo with his left leg after his right leg connected. This, Ye Mo could tell from how the opponent charged power on his left leg.
Ye Mo shook his head. He didn’t know what Du Tao was thinking. If he could beat Ye Mo, he would only need his right leg, but he wanted to switch to left leg purely for aesthetics. This guy was really pretentious. He really overestimated himself thinking that he could kick a guy, whom he had never fought before, flying.
The woman beside Elder Han saw that Ye Mo didn’t even move under Du Tao’s hollow attack and immediately frowned. Of course, she could tell Du Tao’s fists were hollow, but she didn’t expect Ye Mo to see it as well. She wouldn’t believe that Ye Mo didn’t have time to react.
And, not only did Ye Mo not move, he also looked at Du Tao’s left leg and even shook his head. This woman immediately understood that Ye Mo could tell Du Tao’s intentions. The act was pretty, but it was impractical, and it would only be effective on an opponent far weaker than him.
As expected, Ye Mo slightly sidestepped and didn’t even move his hand. However, he kicked his left leg towards Du Tao’s leg a few times. Even that woman didn’t see Ye Mo’s movements clearly, and Ye Mo had already switched to his right leg before kicking Du Fei many meters away. Ye Mo attacked Du Tao the exact same way he did against Wu Qiang, but it was just easier.
When Du Tao’s leg collided with Ye Mo’s, he rejoiced. He felt that the power on his leg wasn’t something Ye Mo could handle. Just when he was prepared to hear Ye Mo cry out in pain and switch leg in mid air to kick Ye Mo away beautifully, there was a piercing pain from his right leg rendering him unable to kick with his left leg.
Du Tao was shocked and immediately knew things weren’t good. Just when he wanted to retreat, Ye Mo kicked his right leg onto his stomach. His head buzzed and couldn’t believe that he was kicked flying. The position was exactly what he wanted to kick Ye Mo with.
So fast—these were the only two words in his brain. He only lasted five moves and was kicked flying by Ye Mo.
That woman saw that Ye Mo actually did what Du Tao wanted cleanly and even more aesthetically pleasing than Du Tao’s imagination. Her heart moved and had a strong urge to fight Ye Mo, but eventually, she suppressed this desire. Although she was sure she wouldn’t lose to Ye Mo, she didn’t want to expose her power in front of everyone.
Du Tao fell to the ground and couldn’t get up. However, Han Zaixin was shocked. He clearly knew who Du Tao was and was, and even in the Flying Snow Squad, he wasn’t average. Moreover, he was also a yellow ranked master, but he couldn’t even last a few moves in front of Ye Mo.
Lu Gang and Li Hu were also shocked. Li Hu knew Ye Mo was strong but didn’t expect him to be this strong. Lu Gang was more shocked. He was still planning to battle Ye Mo too, but now that just seemed ridiculous. Not even ten of him were a match for Du Tao, but Du Tao lost so completely in front of Ye Mo.
Han Zaixin also knew about martial arts and knew that if it was a life or death battle, Du Tao would die faster. No wonder the Song Family couldn’t do anything about Ye Mo so far. He was so strong. Where did he learn this from? Did he reach the Black level of martial arts?
Thinking about how Flying Snow Squad would be so much stronger if Ye Mo joined them, Han Zaixin was lost in thought. No, he must have Ye Mo in his squad.
Ye Mo didn’t care about Du Tao he kicked flying; he only cared about how much materials he could get from the keep. He saw Elder Han seemed to be lost in thought, so he could only walk over and say, “Elder Han…”
Han Zaixin gasped for some air and felt Ye Mo was cuter and cuter. He really was someone special. Luckily, he suddenly thought of coming to see Ye Mo today, otherwise, where would he find someone valuable like Ye Mo. Only a descendent of ancient martial arts sects could match Ye Mo, but Ye Mo was obviously not from those sects. If he was, how would the Song Family dare to look for trouble with him? How would the Ye Family be willing to kick him out?
“Ye Mo, I really didn’t expect you to be so strong. Good, good, good.” Then, Han Zaixin studied Ye Mo and looked at him as though he was studying some treasure.
Ye Mo felt helpless and could only wait for Han Zaixin to talk.
At this moment, Du Tao had crawled up. Other than some pain on his leg, he was fine. He looked at Ye Mo with reverence from afar; he didn’t expect Ye Mo to be so strong. This was the strongest opponent he had ever faced. Now, he believed Ye Mo’s words. His power was for killing not for playing. If Ye Mo wanted to kill him just then, even a few of him would’ve died.
He originally thought he was not bad, now, it seemed he was still intolerably weak in front of the truly strong.
And, Ye Mo had a lot of killing chi. He said that he debilitated someone with a much strong leg martial arts than him, and now, it seemed to be true. Someone like Ye Mo didn’t seem to be willing to lie about this.
Thinking that if he pissed Ye Mo off and he could potentially debilitate his leg too, he felt helpless. He shivered at the thought. Ye Mo must not be offended. He heard Ye Mo offended the Song Family but was still fine. That seemed to be true. However, it was not that the Song family didn’t bother to deal with him, but they just didn’t dare to.
After Han Zaixin repeated the words good, he stared at Ye Mo passionately and said, “Ye Mo, join Flying Snow Squad, you must join, you can be the instructor.”
Ye Mo shook his head. “Elder Han, I’m not interested in joining the army. I’m only interested in the materials in the keep.”
“No, you must join Flying Snow Squad, if you don’t, I won’t let you choose the material.” In a fit of worry, Han Zaixin threatened Ye Mo with the material.
Ye Mo smiled calmly. “In that case, Li Hu, I’ll be leaving.” Then, he turned and left as though Han Zaixin was just air.
Seeing that Ye Mo was leaving, Han Zaixin was worried and quickly pulled Ye Mo’s clothes. “Brother Ye, you musn’t leave. We can discuss about this, just look at the materials first? Then, we can talk, I beg you.”
Ye Mo, who was originally pissed off, saw Han Zaixin’s expression and couldn’t really get angry so he freed his clothes and said, “In that case, please send someone with me.”
“No need, no need, I’ll go with you myself.” Han Zaixin felt he had grasped a bit of Ye Mo’s personality and spoke quickly.
Ye Mo wasn’t hesitant in getting his material as he won that. Now that Han Zaixin said this, he immediately said, “In that case, thank you, Elder Han, but if there’s something I don’t want to do, no one can force me, even the Heavenly Emperor.”
Ye Mo’s last words weren’t polite at all. Du Tao and Li Hu’s mouth spasmed but didn’t argue. If it was before the fight, Du Tao would sneer at Ye Mo, but now, he felt he didn’t have the right to.
However, the woman beside Han Zaixin frowned and seemed to want to say something but eventually didn’t.
Han Zaixin knew his words before were unreasonable, so he wasn’t angry at Ye Mo and instead said, ”We can discuss about joining the squad later. Let’s go see the material first. You’re free to join if you want.”
Although he spoke like that, Han Zaixin was thinking about how he could he keep Ye Mo. It seemed he had pissed Ye Mo off a little. Yes, how could a master like him be willingly constrained. If he was really that easy to talk to, the Song Family would’ve devoured him already.
