Chapter 454 - 455: True Blood Mutation
"She is my maid, yes, but not someone you can touch. Harm even a single hair on her head, and I will hunt you down and kill you!"
His calm words echoed through the air as Cai Xu’s head flew from his shoulders. The headless corpse pitched forward onto the ground, and a chilling, murderous intent made everyone tremble.
’What an overbearing Ye Wushuang!’
The crowd stared, stunned. They couldn’t figure Ye Wushuang out. He was utterly ruthless to his enemies, yet for those by his side, he would give everything. He would kill anyone who dared to touch them!
Far off to the side, Lan Xinyu’s eyes grew moist. She had thought that becoming Ye Wushuang’s maid meant being nothing more than a lowly, insignificant servant.
But now, Ye Wushuang had flown into a murderous rage just because someone had laid a hand on her. He hadn’t hesitated, even if it meant offending a Major Influence.
A sudden feeling of happiness welled up in Lan Xinyu’s heart!
Any woman would feel happy to be protected by such a man.
It wasn’t just Lan Xinyu; even the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc was visibly moved. The way Ye Wushuang treated his own people truly left it speechless.
’Perhaps obediently following him isn’t such a bad choice after all!’
Mengyun Wulei gave Ye Wushuang a deep look with her icy eyes. A strange expression flickered across her frosty face, but she quickly concealed it.
Her gaze then fell upon the nearby Golden-Winged Roc True Blood. On impulse, she dashed toward the True Blood.
’She knew that if she didn’t make a move now, she wouldn’t stand a chance against Ye Wushuang’s power. This was her only opportunity, while he was occupied after killing Cai Xu. She had to strike first.’
BOOM!
In a flash, Mengyun Wulei had almost reached the center.
Ye Wushuang noticed. His eyes narrowed, and he stepped into the air, shooting forward like a bolt of lightning.
"Leave it!"
Blood Hatred and his two companions reacted, quickly moving to block Ye Wushuang’s path.
"Get out of my way!"
Ye Wushuang’s expression darkened. He swept his Thunder Sword out, and it CRACKLED and boomed through the air. A vast swath of the sky was instantly filled with arcs of lightning.
Terrified, Blood Hatred and his two companions shot backward.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Wushuang took a great stride across the sky, passing through the lightning and heading straight for Mengyun Wulei.
At that moment, Mengyun Wulei’s hand was already reaching for the golden orb of light.
"Damned woman! Didn’t you see the great hall above our heads?" Ye Wushuang roared, seeing Mengyun Wulei recklessly trying to snatch the True Blood.
But Ye Wushuang didn’t realize that Mengyun Wulei was acting out of fear of him, driven to desperation.
But Mengyun Wulei refused to listen. With the prize within her grasp, how could she willingly give it up? Her hand shot out and, in an instant, seized the golden orb of light.
With another sharp cry, the Golden-Winged Roc Phenomenon dove down from the sky, its form shrinking as it rapidly drilled into the golden orb.
Ye Wushuang’s Divine Sense was fixed on the pitch-black hall above. The moment the Golden-Winged Roc dove into the golden orb, he detected a powerful pulse of Divine Sense emanating from the hall.
’Fall back, now!’
His expression turned grim. He shot backward, away from the center, shouting a warning to Lan Xinyu and the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc as he went.
The two snapped back to their senses. Though they didn’t understand the reason for his warning, they both did as he said and quickly fell back.
BOOM!
Before Mengyun Wulei could secure the True Blood, the golden orb suddenly erupted with an immense torrent of golden light, drowning the entire grand plaza.
The air throughout the plaza was saturated with a golden hue. And though Ye Wushuang had retreated quickly, he felt a powerful force pulling at his body.
BOOM!
Space itself crumbled, and Ye Wushuang’s figure was yanked into the void, disappearing from sight.
BOOM!
Outside, the monitoring light screen also turned completely golden. A moment later, it suddenly shattered into countless fragments, and the image vanished completely.
"What’s going on?"
The crowd of Yin Yang Powerhouses frowned deeply. The younger generation of geniuses they had brought were inside; if anything were to happen to them, the consequences would be more than they could bear.
Di Qiong and Cai Lun, in particular, had exceptionally grim expressions.
To Di Qiong, Ye Wushuang was a mortal enemy with whom there could be no peace. He would not rest until he had killed him with his own two hands.
As for Cai Lun, Ye Wushuang had killed Cai Xu, the son who was his greatest source of pride. Cai Lun likewise hated Ye Wushuang to the bone and had sworn to kill him personally.
But now, the image had shattered. Ye Wushuang’s fate was a mystery; they had no idea if he was alive or dead. If he managed to escape, they would regret it forever.
’I hope there’s only one exit. You damned animal, I will personally tear you to pieces,’ both men roared in their hearts.
"That kid..." A rare smile appeared on Mengyun Pojun’s otherwise cold face, and his tense expression finally relaxed.
...
At that moment, Ye Wushuang’s figure was plunged into absolute darkness.
This endless darkness was similar to that of the stone chamber. He tried to light the area with flames, but after several attempts, he found it was no use.
Fortunately, there were no shadow assassins in this place.
’No, that’s wrong. There must be.’
All of a sudden, Ye Wushuang sensed a dangerous presence approaching.
SWISH!
A glint of cold light suddenly flashed in the darkness.
’An assassin!’
Ye Wushuang made the judgment in an instant. With a flicker, he too vanished into the darkness.
The next instant, Ye Wushuang appeared in front of the shadowy figure, his Life-Taking Sword poised to strike.
But when he saw the familiar face clearly, Ye Wushuang’s hand froze, and the Life-Taking Light faded away.
The owner of that familiar face, however, didn’t react in time. The cold glint of steel continued its lethal trajectory.
BAM!
Ye Wushuang’s hand was faster. He shot it out and grabbed a jade-like arm, stopping the attack.
"Damned woman!"
An angry shout echoed in the darkness.
"You pervert! It’s you!"
Mengyun Wulei was stunned, not expecting it to be Ye Wushuang.
The moment her hand had touched the golden orb, before she could even claim the True Blood, a powerful force had yanked her into this dark space.
Like Ye Wushuang, she had initially thought there were no shadow assassins here, but she quickly dismissed that idea when she sensed his presence.
Believing in striking first to gain the upper hand, she had launched a killing blow toward him.
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s hand clamped on her arm, she snapped back to reality and shrieked furiously, "Pervert, let go of me!"
Struggling violently, Mengyun Wulei struck out at Ye Wushuang with her free hand.
Ye Wushuang’s brows furrowed. He caught her other wrist. "If you move again, believe me, I’ll show you what a real pervert does."
"You dare!"
Mengyun Wulei’s expression changed, and she kicked out at Ye Wushuang’s crotch.
Now Ye Wushuang was truly angry.
BAM!
With a surge of strength, he threw Mengyun Wulei to the ground and pinned her.
"Pervert, what do you think you’re doing!"
In the darkness, panic flickered across Mengyun Wulei’s beautiful face. She was terrified that Ye Wushuang would actually do something beastly to her.
She struggled with all her might, but Ye Wushuang’s body was like a mountain pressing down on her, rendering her struggles useless.
Moreover, being pinned beneath Ye Wushuang ignited a strange sensation within her. Perhaps without even realizing it herself, her struggles gradually grew weaker.
