Ji Yu’s undisguised killing intent was revealed, “Are you going to meddle in our affairs today?”
“How can this be your affairs?” Lou Mu Yan folded her arms, her voice cold, “My friends and my Elder Cousin Brothers were severely injured by you, so this debt must be settled clearly.”
“There is a path to Heaven that you don’t take, instead you want to break into Hell that has no path1.” Ji Yu’s eyes revealed ruthlessness, “Today will be your death day.”
Lou Mu Yan chuckled, the sharpness in her eyes flashing, “I’ll see how you can turn today into my death day.”
The killing intent on her body was not concealed the slightest. Ji Yu and his party had possessed killing intent towards her for a long time, and they were going to kill Ye Qing Han and Ling Fei Yang just now too—they already stepped on her baseline.
“Arrogant!” Ji Yu sneered, and two dark golden scimitars appeared in his hands.
“Mu Yan, he already has the strength to fight a Sword Sovereign.” Ye Qing Han stepped forward to block Lou Mu Yan, “Let me.”
Lou Mu Yan’s heart warmed. She took out a few bottles of healing medicine from her interspatial ring and tossed it to the people behind, then tugged Ye Qing Han’s sleeve and said softly: “Qing Han, believe me!”
Luo Li and Si Nan felt extremely sour when they saw Lou Mu Yan showing a warm expression to the handsome, black-clothed man.
Who was that man to Lou Mu Yan? He didn’t quite look like her lover!
Ye Qing Han’s heart trembled, pursed his thin lips and took a step back, “Mu Yan, be careful!”
This sentence fully demonstrated his trust.
A woman like Lou Mu Yan would feel disdain at hiding behind a man. What she wanted was to stand side by side.
Lou Mu Yan stuffed a bottle of medicine for internal injury into his hand, “You take a rest first.”
“Alright!” Ye Qing Han took the porcelain bottle that still had Lou Mu Yan’s body temperature, held it tightly and stepped aside, watching the others vigilantly after taking a pill.
Ji Yu narrowed his eyes dangerously. This woman would surely become a serious problem in the future.
“Yu, kill her.” Mu Tong looked at Lou Mu Yan sinisterly. Ever since she fought against Lou Mu Yan that day, she knew that she wasn’t her opponent. Only Ji Yu could kill her.
“You all go and kill the others first to avoid future troubles.” Ji Yu coldly swept his gaze over Ye Qing Han and the others.
While he was fighting Lou Mu Yan, he didn’t want to let these people go, and wanted to catch everything in one net.
Mu Tong nodded, a happy smile appearing on her pretty face. She looked at Mu Ning meaningfully and said: “Elder Sister, don’t blame Younger Sister for being cruel. Who told you to be so unpleasant to look at. It’s already at our tolerance limit for my mother and I to have let you live until now. There is the First Elder in the Mu Clan to protect you, but now let Younger Sister send you off.”
Because Mu Ning’s mother occupied the position of the Official Wife, and once had a powerful maternal clan, her mother had to endure being a concubine and she also had to remain as a concubine’s daughter for more than a decade.
But the Heaven’s had eyes and Mu Ning’s maternal grandfather’s clan offended a powerful force and was exterminated, giving her mother the opportunity to remove that woman who was occupying that position.
Although she had become the daughter of the Official Wife, but Mu Ning had the most powerful First Elder of the Mu Clan protecting her, that’s why she and her mother hadn’t been able to find a chance to act.
Now that she had such an opportunity, how could she let go of it. The jealousy and hatred in her heart had long made her want to tear Mu Ning into thousands of pieces.
“Cough cough…” Mu Ning coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. Her eyes revealed a deep feeling of remorse. She wasn’t afraid of death but regretted that she couldn’t avenge her mother.
Ling Fei Yang felt her emotions and held her hand, his warm voice soothing, “Don’t be afraid. We won’t die.”
Mu Ning’s cold eyes rarely fluctuated slightly, “Sorry, it’s all because of me to have caused you trouble.”
“No worries!” Ling Fei Yang’s handsome and unparalleled face had a smile, and his calmness gave Mu Ning a peace of mind.
“Pei, you’re all going to die and you’re still acting romantic and confiding in each other, shameless.” Mu Tong hated Mu Ning not only for her identity, but also because of Mu Ning’s face that was known as the number one beauty of the Empire. Seeing so many men be enamoured with Mu Ning, she couldn’t help but feel envious.
Lou Mu Yan found that Ling Fei Yang’s attitude towards Mu Ning was rather different. Could it be that this was the woman her elder cousin brother truly liked?
She didn’t dislike Mu Ning. Since she was the woman that Elder Cousin Brother liked, then she was naturally the object of her protection. Right now, she was going to fight against Ji Yu, but Ye Qing Han and the others had been severely injured, so they definitely wouldn’t be the six Advanced-Phase Sword Monarch’s opponents.
“If you’ve watched enough drama, then come out and help.” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow at the woods not far away.
If He’lian Lie and Si Nan wanted to befriend her, then they should at least show some sincerity.
Si Nan walked out gaudily with his gold foil folding fan, “I was just about to come out to help you, when you called me.”
Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him. This gaudy man sure was thick-skinned.
He’lian Lie still looked like an uninhibited romantic, looking as if ‘I was also here to help’.
Luo Li walked quickly towards Lou Mu Yan’s side and looked at Ji Yu unhappily, “Ji Yu, you’re too conceited.”
“Humph. Don’t think that I won’t dare touch you just because you’re from the Luo Clan.” Ji Yu hated Luo Li extremely. He temporarily yielded before because of Luo Ye and the Luo Clan, but it made Luo Li even more arrogant.
His face was grim, and a black pellet fell in his hand. He squeezed it gently, and the black pellet turned into a very light black smoke, disappearing into the air.
Lou Mu Yan habitually observed her opponent’s every move, so she naturally didn’t miss Ji Yu’s movements. A ridicule rose on her lips—wanting to ask for reinforcements?
That kind of black pellet was used as a secret code. Once crushed, it couldn’t be stopped, but Lou Mu Yan wasn’t afraid of Ji Yu’s helpers either.
“Ji Yu, now, it’s your fault for doing all this, why fuss with a woman. A man should be open-minded. No wonder that although you’re the Crown Prince, but you’ve been severely suppressed by Fourth Prince. Your bearing is indeed much inferior to Ji Xuan’s.” Si Nan pretended to sigh, specifically attacking the other party’s sore spot.
Ji Yu’s face was even more grim. What he hated most were those who compared him with Ji Xuan. Si Nan was truly too hateful.
Luo Ye didn’t walk over, but just leaned against a tree and looked over. If one watched closely, one could see that his clean, dark eyes actually had no focus.
With the strength of the several people, he no longer needed to intervene.
“Si Nan, are you really going to help that woman from a small kingdom?” Ji Yu asked with furrowed brows.
Si Nan’s androgynous handsome face wore a charming smile, “The little beauty has spoken, so how can I bear to refuse? You know that I show the most pity and tender care for jade.”
“Damned shameless bastard.” Luo Li rolled his eyes at Si Nan, really wanting to punch that frivolous face.
The corner of Lou Mu Yan’s lips twitched, “Even fights between women don’t dawdle as much as you two.”
“It’s all Ji Yu who led us to talk. A narrow-minded man talks the most.” Si Nan decisively pulled Ji Yu out to take the blame.
The anger in Ji Yu’s chest was burning. He said so many words mainly to delay time and wait for the other three allied kingdoms to come to help, but who knew that it would be accidentally messed up by Lou Mu Yan.
“Stop being so talkative, you guys will be responsible for killing that woman who’s unpleasant to look at and the others.” Lou Mu Yan pointed in Mu Tong’s direction, then her eyes were filled with a strong fighting intent, “Let me experience a little of Ji Yu’s combat power that’s comparable to a Sword Sovereign.”
In her previous battle with the Mountain Moving Beast, she mainly used the opponent’s weakness and found a shortcut, so it wasn’t difficult to win that battle.
Although Ji Yu was at Peak-Phase Sword Monarch cultivation base, but he had the qualifications to fight against a Sword Sovereign, so she definitely wanted to experience it somewhat, so as to also find her own shortcomings and inadequacies.
Only by fighting against people whose cultivation base was stronger than her could she make progress. This was the principle she had always followed.
1basically, ‘I gave you a chance, but you’re not taking it’.
