After Ye Mo spoke, the Castellans who stood to the side watching were confused. His sentence was obviously meant to provoke his opponent.

 At that moment, Yao Yue had also rushed over. She sat to one side and stared at the clone in the late Profound Heavens Realm.

 The middle-aged man had narrowed his eyes slightly. His body also shook.

 “You are as crazy as I was when I was your age,” the middle-aged man said with a playful smile. “I value a genius like you very much. If you’ll accept some advice from me, maybe your future achievements will be even higher. Qingshan is taking the Red Dragon Wings. You can have the other three resources.

 While he spoke, he stood with a superior posture.

 “Do you think that’s possible?” Ye Mo smiled coldly. Although his opponent was an expert in the late Profound Heavens Realm, he was only a clone. Ye Mo had to take this opportunity, as his opponent would be very easy to deal with.

 He was definitely taking the Red Dragon Wings.

 Boom!

 As soon as the body moved, the middle-aged man condensed a long sword and swung toward Ye Mo.

 “You don’t want to live. I have killed many geniuses. You will be one of them.”

 The middle-aged man let out a low roar, then the long sword in his hand expanded to cover the sky. It seemed to have blocked all the space. With a fierce Swordlight, the sharp sword suddenly stabbed out.

 Seeing this, Ye Mo’s face changed slightly. He displayed his Zhu Immortal Domain and locked onto his opponent. The effect of the Zhu Immortal Domain didn’t play a big role, but his opponent’s attack was weakened.

 Ye Mo’s body was locked on the spot. Eight million streams of Profound Dragon Power, the Dragon and Elephant Cry, and streams of the shadows of Six Dao God’s Will all gathered in Ye Mo’s Sky Blood Spear.

 He made a fierce stab, his most powerful attack.

 Everyone saw that the Blood Saber Energy surrounding the sharp sword had unexpectedly pierced the air and created small exploding holes. It collided with the attack from the middle-aged man.

 Boom!

 The two attacks collided with each other under the close watch of the crowd.

 Strong rebound forces, with the two of them as the center, created layers of cracks on the ground as thick as Ye Mo’s arm.

 Crack! Crack!

 The cracks in the ground were still growing. In the end, it was unable to withstand the impact of the collision between the two people, and the ground collapsed under them.

 Both men retreated backward several steps under the force of this powerful collision.

 “This Ye Mo shook the clone of an expert in the late Profound Heavens Realm while in the early Profound World Realm. He is indeed powerful.”

 “That’s right. A number of remarkable characters have appeared in the Battle of the Thousand Cities this time around. They might have even been recruited by the Chaos Palace directly.”

 Many Castellans around them had gathered because of the appearance of the Palaces. They all had shocked expressions on their faces as they watched this shocking fight.

 To challenge someone in the Profound Heavens Realm with just the strength of the Profound World Realm was extremely rare, let alone challenging a split body in the late Profound Heavens Realm.

 “This Ye Mo is indeed very strong. My father once said that, with my current strength, experts in the Profound Heavens Realm could only flee when they see me,” Song Qingshan said. “Yet he was able to defeat me with only the strength of the early Profound World Realm.”

 Song Qingshan gritted his teeth while he watched the scene. “Father, kill him. If he doesn’t die, then he’ll become a Demon of Temptation in my heart.”

 People like Song Qingshan were usually high with talent that far surpassed ordinary people. But today, he had been defeated by a warrior whose strength was far below his own. A Demon of Temptation would indeed appear in his heart.

 Cutting Ye Mo down now was the best solution.

 Boom! Boom! Boom!

 As soon as Song Qingshan spoke, a majestic aura burst out from the middle-aged man. That majestic force set off a Profound Qi hurricane around him.

 This aura had completely surpassed an expert in the late Profound Heavens Realm. Ye Mo had never felt this kind of terror before, even from Elder Taotie.

 “I, Song Gang, just arrived in the Zone of Chaos half a year ago and have yet to see anyone who could force me to use my real strength,” the middle-aged man said faintly. “Even my clone hasn’t met anything like that. Yet now, you have become a Demon of Temptation for Qinghsan, so I have no choice but to kill you.

 “What? Song Gang? You are Song Gang?”

 Yao Yue, who stood on the side and was ready to make a move to help E Mo, was stunned.

 Yao Yue still remembered the scroll Fan Yi had given her. This Song Gang was a five-star Castellan. That meant that he was an expert in the Profound Heavens Realm who had already integrated the three Dao Profound Marks.

 The integration of one Dao Profound Mark would increase the expert’s strength by a level. This Song Gang was a super strong expert who had integrated three Dao Profound Marks.

 It would be difficult for ordinary warriors in the late Profound Heavens Realm to defend against an expert in the late Profound Heavens Realm who had integrated two Dao Profound Marks, no matter how many or how powerful their techniques were.

 “Song Gang, a five-star Castellan?”

 The Castellans standing on the side had also heard of this Song Gang. The color of their faces changed. Only a five-star Castellan could release such a terrifying aura.

 After he spoke, Ye Mo’s expression also turned serious. A five-star Castellan was indeed powerful.

 He immediately dispersed the Five Elements Dragon Monkey and stared at Song Gang. Ye Mo’s only hope was to seize this opportunity to absorb Song Gang by using the Rising Dragon Pillar. It didn’t matter that he was a five-star Castellan. Anyone facing the Rising Dragon Pillar was scum to be overrun.

 “Little Yao, don’t come over. I have a way to deal with him,” Ye Mo shouted when he saw that Yao Yue was about to rush over to face the enemy by his side.

 “Haha! You have a method to deal with me?” Song Gang laughed. “Go die!”

 An explosive Force spread out. Song Gang’s attack was like his name, fierce and strong. His attack exploded and headed toward Ye Mo. The terrifying speed meant that he had cut the air in half using just his body.

 All Castellans present felt the fierce attack, and the last bit of color fled their faces.

 But Ye Mo didn’t move at all. He shrank the Zhu Immortal Domain and wrapped it around his body.

 The terrifying attack shook the ground as it hit the Rune Barrier. There was no surprise when the Rune Barrier instantly broke apart. But Song Gang’s attack was greatly weakened in the process.

 Ye Mo grabbed with his hand and got ahold of his opponent’s Long Sword. The powerful attack had cut a huge opening on the palm of Ye Mo’s hand. Half of Ye Mo’s palm was almost cut off.

 “Song Gang, thank you for your gift.” Ye Mo smiled as he activated his Rising Dragon Pillar. Immediately, all of Song Gang’s attack disappeared and his body began to float.

 “What is this?” Song Gang was absolutely stunned. “How can you absorb my Profound Qi?”

 “Why, are you scared?” Ye Mo smiled faintly.

 “Scared?” Song Gang sneered. Then, his body began to swell. It turned into a huge ball.

 “Brother Ye Mo, quickly run, this guy’s going to blow himself up!”

 After the words were spoken, the color on Ye Mo’s face drastically changed. He didn’t about absorbing energy anymore. He flew away immediately.

 Sure enough, a terrifying explosion split the area. It pretty much destroyed the entire mountain peak. Even the air began to twist and turn. If an expert in the late Profound Heavens Realm was affected, then it would end miserably.

 When the sound of the explosion faded, the words of Song Gang’s parting threat drifted to Ye Mo’s ears.

 “Ye Mo, today is your lucky day. Next will be the second round of the competition. We’ll be entering the middle of the Black Jade Mountains. I hope your technique to absorb my Profound Qi will still be useful then, against my real body.”

 Song Qingshan had disappeared.
