Chapter 743: Nail Kill

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

Mu Xiaoyun wasn’t blocking, but Yuan Chong’s sword was still hacking down. Everyone watching the match knew Mu Xiaoyun’s fate was sealed. Such a beautiful lady was about to be killed! Some spectators didn’t even want to watch and closed their eyes.

Yuan Chong was shaken as well. He didn’t want to kill Mu Xiaoyun. He could only blame his poor luck. He’d finally met a girl he truly cared for, yet he was about to kill her.

But before he could properly regret it, he heard a clink and felt his hand lighten. He looked at his sword and found he was only holding the hilt.

“Ye, dear husband, is that you?” Mu Xiaoyun’s eyes misted over. Since starting to cultivate the Primordial Fortune Chant, her spirit sense had become amazing. Although only stage three, her spirit sense nearly reached one kilometer. She hadn’t intentionally been scanning, but she’d felt Ye Mo’s chi.

The husband she’d longed for had finally arrived. She forgot she was on the fighting stage, her attention solely on the newly appeared figure.

As soon as she spoke, the figure of her dreams held her in his arms.

Mu Xiaoyun trembled, tightly hugging Ye Mo. “Ye babe, am I dreaming?” Her voice was shaky. She didn’t care about the onlookers; she was afraid that if she loosened her grip, Ye Mo would disappear.

Ye Mo caressed Mu Xiaoyun’s hair. “Xiaoyun, you’re not dreaming. I’m sorry I’m late.”

“Ye babe, is this really not a dream?” Mu Xiaoyun looked up, verifying reality, and saw Ye Mo’s recovered face. In truth, she didn’t need to look—she only needed to feel his chi and see his eyes to know it was her husband.

“My face has recovered,” Ye Mo said.

“En.” Mu Xiaoyun didn’t want to move.

Ye Mo patted her arm. “Xiaoyun, get up. I need to deal with this guy. How dare he try to kill you.”

Mu Xiaoyun obeyed, but remained behind Ye Mo.

Yuan Chong stared at the sword hilt in shock. This sword was from the Forgery Hall’s elite collection, yet it was broken. He couldn’t believe his eyes. All he’d seen was a flash of white light before his sword shattered.

He finally reacted and looked coldly at Ye Mo. “Who are you? How dare you break the rules?”

Ye Mo flicked his flying sword. “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear Xiaoyun call me husband?”

Yuan Chong had considered Mu Xiaoyun his, so her sudden husband enraged him. How dare this man steal his woman!

“You’re f*cking asking to die! You dare take my woman, I’ll make you regret being born!”

Before he could finish, he was slapped repeatedly. His mouth bled, and several teeth flew out.

Ye Mo stopped, noticing a shield-shaped card on Yuan Chong’s belt. He grabbed it. He saw the word Taiyi.

“So that was you,” Ye Mo’s voice turned icy.

“Stop!” Two yells echoed as two Half Step Great Heaven masters landed on the stage.

Ye Mo ignored them and asked Yuan Chong in a cold voice, “A few years ago, did you assault a girl in Ning Hai?”

“How do you know?” Yuan Chong asked, shocked.

“Hahaha! You ran into me without me having to look for you,” Ye Mo laughed. Ning Qingxue would have died if he hadn’t given her the necklace, and she hadn’t lost her memories because of this trash. And now this scum wanted to kill Mu Xiaoyun? Ye Mo wouldn’t let him go.

“Ignorant fool, you’re asking to die!” The two Half Step Great Heaven masters saw Ye Mo’s enraged laughter and attacked.

Two fist shadows smashed towards Ye Mo. Two mere Half Step Great Heaven masters dared be cocky? Ye Mo didn’t even look as he punched, their inner qi clashing. His fists broke through their inner qi, smashing their chests. They flew off the stage, spitting blood. Clearly, Ye Mo hadn’t used his full power, or they would have died. They were sure even a Great Heaven master couldn't injure them so easily.

Tai Yi Sect’s Vice Sect Leader Qi sneered at Elder Jin. “Bring Yuan Chong back.”

“Yes!” Elder Jin quickly descended. Despite witnessing Ye Mo’s power, with his Great Heaven Middle Stage power, he’d easily capture the youth.

Before Elder Jin reached him, Ye Mo grabbed the flag beside the stage. “I’m the husband of the girl you beat, and today, you attacked my wife, Xiaoyun. Consider this a merciful death.”

“What?” Yuan Chong’s face was ruined, but the shock in his eyes was visible. He’d just told his master that several years had passed, it didn’t matter anymore, but now the girl’s husband had appeared. He quickly recovered—this was the hidden sects’ biggest tournament ground, and his master was present! His master wouldn’t let him suffer. He laughed. “You’re about to die, yet you’re still talking nonsense. If you’re smart, give me your woman, and perhaps I’ll beg my master to let you live.”

“Oh really?” Ye Mo coldly glanced at Elder Jin, who’d just arrived, and kicked Yuan Chong hard in the chest.

Yuan Chong flew. Twenty meters away stood a bell tower—a ten-meter-tall rock with a bell on top, used for the tournament. Ye Mo kicked Yuan Chong into the bell tower, breaking the flagpole into five pieces and throwing them after him.

Dong dong dong dong dong—The bell tolled. Before everyone’s eyes, a man was nailed to the rock. It was Yuan Chong. Four segments had nailed his ligaments; the last, his throat.

Silence fell. Everything happened too fast. Everyone knew all hell was about to break loose. Yuan Chong had been killed in public, in front of Vice Sect Leader Qi! Everyone knew Yuan Chong was actually Vice Sect Leader Qi’s illegitimate child. His talent secured him an important position in his father’s heart. Such a person, nailed and killed so insultingly… how could Taiyi let this go?

“It’s over…” Elder Jin stared at Yuan Chong, his hands and feet cold. He bore the most responsibility.

“You’re asking to die!” A furious voice roared as a skinny old man flew onto the stage like a bird of prey.
