71: Chapter 71 Sweep

"What 's'??" Wu Yuan picked up the machine gun and said subconsciously.

Ye Mo ignored him, knowing his chance had come. He had deliberately said things Wu Yuan wouldn't understand earlier to make him pause and think for a moment.

Ye Mo immediately circulated all the Spiritual Qi in his body. In the blink of an eye, a fireball the size of a soccer ball appeared in his hand.

At this moment, Wu Yuan also felt the fluctuation of Spiritual Qi, but it was already too late. The two of them were only a few meters apart to begin with.

Ye Mo violently threw the fireball at Wu Yuan.

The massive fireball carried a scorching heat. Wu Yuan had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the fireball smashed toward him.

Boom—

Without any hindrance, the fireball instantly broke through the Golden Light Talisman on Wu Yuan's body.

Pfft— Ah—

Amidst a miserable shriek, Wu Yuan's entire chest was rapidly swallowed by the fireball.

"This is impossible, this is impossible... He's clearly at the Qi Refining Mid-Stage..."

This was the only thought in Wu Yuan's mind before he died.

Ye Mo was clearly injured.

Why could he still cast such a powerful fireball?

In fact, he had always been on guard against Ye Mo putting up a desperate fight. So when the fireball flew over, Wu Yuan wasn't actually worried. However, he quickly realized something was wrong—this fireball was definitely not something a Qi Refining Mid-Stage Cultivator could cast.

Wu Yuan died with his eyes wide open, and everyone else seemed stunned by this scene as well.

Even Boss Xiao stood frozen on the spot.

Ye Mo immediately stepped forward, retrieved Wu Yuan's Storage Pouch, and then shouted to Boss Xiao, "Boss Xiao, don't let them escape!"

These people knew about his machine gun. Only by killing them all could he hide in the shadows once again.

Boss Xiao also finally snapped out of it.

The battle continued!

Ye Mo poured out everything from Wu Yuan's Storage Pouch. There were quite a few items, and he swept them all into his space, leaving only a silver longbow, which he immediately imprinted with his Divine Sense.

Once imprinted, the silver bow seemed to achieve Fusion with his body.

Ye Mo took out another Spiritual Artifact sword and leaped onto it. Drawing the bowstring to its limit, three Spirit Energy Arrows instantly materialized.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

With every arrow shot, almost one miner fell.

Ye Mo was now at Qi Refining Completion, and the power of his Spirit Energy Arrows was even greater than Wu Yuan's.

However, as he shot the Spirit Energy Arrows, Ye Mo felt that this High Grade Spiritual Artifact was much weaker than he had imagined.

He then realized that the groove on the bow's body was probably meant for embedding Spirit Stones.

So Ye Mo immediately took out a Spirit Stone, but he soon discovered that there were cracks around the groove, making it completely unable to absorb the Spirit Stone.

"A defective product."

Ye Mo secretly felt it was a pity. No wonder Wu Yuan hadn't embedded any Spirit Stones when using it.

No wonder its power was so much weaker.

Of course, against some Middle Stage Cultivators, it could still take them down with one arrow each.

Soon, a large number of miners fell.

Seeing this, Wu Yuan's subordinates fled in panic.

However, it was in vain. Under the pincer attack of Ye Mo and Boss Xiao, the thirty people Wu Yuan had brought were soon entirely wiped out.

"Quick, take this Medicinal Pill." Boss Xiao didn't ask why Ye Mo had suddenly reached the Qi Refining Late-Stage. Instead, he immediately took out a healing Medicinal Pill. Although it was just an ordinary healing Medicinal Pill, it was still of some help to Ye Mo's current injuries.

Once the Medicinal Pill was swallowed, the previous arrow wound quickly stopped bleeding.

"Duan Qiao's men are coming soon. Boss Xiao, we have another fierce battle ahead!"

Ye Mo looked at the battlefield; nearly half of their own men were dead or injured.

"Can you still fight?" Boss Xiao's eyes gleamed sharply.

Ye Mo had suddenly displayed the strength of the Qi Refining Late-Stage. This kind of situation was rare; it was usually due to casting some secret technique or taking some cultivation-boosting Medicinal Pill, which generally wouldn't last very long.

"Of course. This time, we can take this opportunity to wipe out Duan Qiao and the others in one fell swoop."

Ye Mo said coldly.

Duan Qiao had to die. Otherwise, if Guan Huai received the news and rushed over, they would find themselves in a dire situation again.

"Gu Jian, Bi He, Yi Shi, come here!"

Ye Mo waved the three of them over, then took out two AKs and a machine gun, handing them over.

Since everyone already knew about the guns, there was no longer any need for Ye Mo to hide them.

He briefly taught the three of them how to shoot and gave them plenty of ammunition.

As Cultivators, it was very easy for them to master firearms. Before long, all three of them basically knew how to use them.

"Ye Mo, I was wrong before. From now on, I'll listen to you!"

Gu Jian held the machine gun, speaking with a face full of sincerity.

He tested the power of the machine gun. It was absolutely a Sharp Weapon. Most importantly, it could be used without any Spiritual Qi. Under unexpected circumstances, it could definitely achieve the effect of an assassination.

"It's fine. In the future, we'll just follow Boss Xiao."

Ye Mo waved his hand.

Then, looking toward the south, a strong Killing Intent emanated from his eyes. "Boss Xiao, instead of waiting for them here, why don't we strike first?"

"My thoughts exactly!"

At this moment, Boss Xiao was also filled with Battle Intent. Holding his Spiritual Artifact sword, he pointed it to the south and roared, "Brothers, charge with me!"

By now, Duan Qiao and his men were not far from Boss Xiao's mining area.

Instead of entering Boss Xiao's mining area immediately, they sent someone ahead to scout.

The scout quickly returned to report that Boss Xiao had already left.

"They must have been intercepted by Wu Yuan and his men. Let's go, we'll head over immediately."

Duan Qiao had thought it over and over last night and decided to cooperate with Guan Huai, mainly to prevent Boss Xiao from escaping.

Hearing that Boss Xiao had already left, he rejoiced at his decision.

With a wave of his hand, nearly forty people immediately ran northward.

Soon, they encountered Boss Xiao.

When Duan Qiao saw Boss Xiao, he thought they were fleeing.

So he immediately shouted, "Gu Jian, you guys used to be Boss Guo's men. Surrender now, and I guarantee you'll be safe and sound."

Gu Jian and the others had just gone through a fierce battle and looked somewhat disheveled.

This also led Duan Qiao and his men to mistakenly believe that they were being hunted down by Wu Yuan.

Strangely, however, Gu Jian didn't answer, and Boss Xiao didn't answer him either.

Without slowing down in the slightest, everyone rushed rapidly toward them.

In the crowd, the silver bow suddenly appeared in Ye Mo's hand. As he ran, he drew the bowstring to its limit, and three Spirit Energy Arrows shot rapidly toward Duan Qiao.

"Isn't... isn't this Wu Yuan's bow?"

Duan Qiao was stunned, completely clueless as to what was happening. He didn't even recognize Ye Mo.

He dodged almost instinctively, and at the same time, immediately activated a Golden Light Talisman.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

Another three Spirit Energy Arrows.

At the same time, Yi Shi and Bi He beside Ye Mo patted their Storage Pouches, and an AK appeared in each of their hands.

Da da da—

Bullets poured out.

Duan Qiao had no way to dodge and was instantly hit.

However, his vital spots weren't hit, but Duan Qiao's speed slowed down significantly. Ye Mo seized the opportunity, and three Spirit Energy Arrows materialized once again.

Pfft pfft pfft—

A Spirit Energy Arrow instantly pierced through Duan Qiao's brain.

A similar scene was also playing out on Boss Xiao's side.

He first controlled his Spiritual Artifact sword to break through Cao Qing's defense, while Gu Jian sprayed bullets frantically from the side.

Cao Qing was riddled with bullets on the spot, turned into a sieve.

Seeing this, the remaining Quan Zhengping instinctively wanted to flee.

But at this moment, both Ye Mo and Boss Xiao locked onto him.

"We surrender!" Quan Zhengping immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

This exactly was the phrase Ye Mo wanted to hear.

If they slaughtered all of them, too many people would die today.

Ye Mo was also worried about whether the Sect would have any objections.

Moreover, Duan Qiao's mining area also needed someone to oversee it, to prevent Scarface Liu from trying to muscle in.

Quan Zhengping was the perfect person to help them take over Duan Qiao's mining area.

The great battle ended here.

Next was sorting out the spoils of war.
