Chapter 128 – Map on Skin (2)
Ye Li patted Ye Mu’s head, almost affectionately, “I have never done anything good in my life. The only good thing I probably have ever done is… to let you go.”
Ye Mu still couldn’t comprehend Ye Li’s words, even till he stood up.
“Even if I live today, I will lose my skill for martial arts, becoming a cripple for my remaining days. You want me to become disabled? Ha! Then I might as well die.”
With those stubborn words, Ye Mu suddenly felt a warm current from above her head! It was the hand that Ye Li used to cover her head, continuously exerting inner Qi into her body. His own internal energy, as well as the internal energy that he had absorbed from numerous people today, were all first tempered through his meridians before they were now completely being poured into Ye Mu’s small body.
He felt at this moment, it would be better to use it fully. It was just that, the pain of forcefully refining internal energy caused the heavily wounded Ye Li to tremble–Ye Mu wasn’t doing well either. As a child, she definitely couldn’t absorb any external inner Qi, and as soon as the foreign energy entered her body, her small frame was racked with pain, as if she was on the verge of exploding.
Ye Li laughed lightly and said in a hoarse voice, “Ordinary cultivation techniques cannot withstand inner Qi from external sources, is it…very uncomfortable? Now—” he coughed. “Now, I will teach you the mantra of the Divine Terminator Technique! If you do not wish to die early, then train according to this art!”
To the very end, he was still a domineering man. Regardless of whether Ye Mu wanted to practice this type of martial art or not, she had no choice. Even if it was against her principles, she had to do it!
Ye Mu’s entire body was covered in fine beads of blood, as if her body was flourishing in a grotesque way. It was just as Ye Li said: if she didn’t follow his instructions, then she would definitely explode to smithereens. Therefore, although she was extremely disgusted with the Divine Terminator Technique, Ye Mu immediately focused on cultivating it as she listened to Ye Li recite the mental cultivation method, word by word, in the face of life and death.
She could not die–she did not want to die!

“Why can’t you go in?”
Mo Linyuan insisted on coming over the broken palace to rescue Ye Mu. Ye Li’s vicious palm attack was tantamount to his revenge, so Mo Linyuan’s injuries weren’t light at all. But his worry for Ye Mu won him over in the end. He couldn’t let his wounds heal in peace, and hurried towards where Ye Li had taken Ye Mu hostage, only to see people surrounding the remaining ruins of the palace entrance.
Seeing this, Wen Feng walked over and hesitantly said, “Your Highness, Ye Li has absorbed too much inner Qi and suffered a heavy injury. If we rashly approach him—there’s the probable chance that he could explode at any time. Now that the outer palace has collapsed and we don’t know the situation inside, we won’t dare act rashly!”
Mo Linyuan merely frowned in reply; was he then just supposed to wait like this?
“Dig this place open!”
“Your Highness?!” Everyone looked at him in bewilderment, only to see him speak insipidly.
“If Ye Li wants to hate me, then he should hate me alone. Dig it out! If he asks for it–I am willing to exchange my life for Ye Mu.”
“Your Highness!” Wen Feng absolutely could not agree. But after listening to it once, he still called for people to dig the rubble. For some reason, he had an intuition telling him that if it was Ye Mu, Ye Li wouldn’t hurt her.

A strong, raging current swirled up on the floor to the ceilings of the inner hall. The current grew larger and larger, surrounding the only people in the room, and frantically tore apart everything in its surroundings!
Despite following Ye Li’s instructions to cultivate this type of destructive technique, Ye Mu found out that she was having difficulty maintaining it. Her body didn’t need Ye Li’s effort to refine it at all; she was already subconsciously absorbing Ye Li’s inner Qu on her own.
She wanted to control it, but she couldn’t!
“It’s useless…” Amidst the raging wind, Ye Li’s broken voice could be heard, “Only when the other party consumes the giver’s inner Qi… Otherwise, it will not stop. ”
When Ye Mu heard this, a great wail arose from within her heart. Ye Li will die by my hands?
