Over Sunset Grassland, the wind blew low across the vast expanse. Thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of tents occupied the outer area of the Sunset Grassland, as tens, even hundreds of thousands of people crowded at the edge of the grassland, waiting for the great hunt to begin.
At a certain spot, unlike the other crowded places, people automatically cleared out a circle of open space.
Inside stood two people, one in red clothes as bright as fire, dazzling like the sun. The other in light armor leather, imposing and fierce.
"Come on." Mu Qingge took the initiative to speak to Ying Ze, flames flickering in her crystal-clear eyes.
The three-move agreement, only one move had passed, yet it had already stirred her fighting spirit.
Behind her, at the point where her heels touched the ground, a crack spread in the soil, terrifying and menacing, silently disseminating Ying Ze’s power.
"Second move." Ying Ze murmured in a deep voice.
His right arm lifted again, a powerful force entwined around it, as if a prehistoric beast lay hidden within, ready to break free from its cage and rush out.
Sang Xuewu’s barely settled heart surged again.
Her face turned extremely pale, devoid of blood. ’Ying Ze’s power is much stronger than before.’
’This move is incomparable to the previous one!’ Mo Yang’s heart sank, his gaze concern-filled as he looked at Mu Qingge, his hand unconsciously clenching his weapon’s handle.
"Such powerful strength!"
"Simply terrifying! I wouldn’t stand a chance against a single move from the young master Ying."
"This punch, it might just blast someone into pieces!"
"Isn’t this Mu bound to die then!"
"I said the young master Ying won’t let him withstand the second move!"
Mu Qingge’s gaze slightly hardened, her eyes calm. Her hair was whipped around wildly by the force Ying Ze unleashed. The overwhelming power made even her breathing difficult.
’So strong!’
Mu Qingge mused silently.
Agreeing to Ying Ze’s condition was not just to resolve issues but also to experience the power of those ranked in the Top Five of the Green Talent List. If Ying Ze was so formidable yet ranked only fourth, one could only imagine how powerful those above him were.
Furthermore, Mu Qingge hadn’t forgotten that Jing Fengyu had said the top-ranked Wei Molili on the Green Talent List was rumored to have entered the Golden Realm!
"Are you ready?" The overwhelming force tore at the surrounding grass and soil. Ying Ze, emotionless, looked at Mu Qingge and spoke without feeling.
Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes, merely responding with a cold smile.
The corner of her lips curved into an arc that struck Ying Ze as particularly glaring.
Anger tinged his eyes as he shouted, "Meet your end!"
A force multiple times stronger than before rushed towards Mu Qingge. As they collided, a thunderous sound roared, the powerful force ripping apart the grassland, lifting earth and obscuring the sight of the onlookers.
"Ah—!"
"Ah!"
Exclaims of shock erupted, everyone retreating further, enlarging the middle space. It wasn’t the duel they feared interrupting but the concern for their own lives.
"Little Lord!" Mo Yang didn’t retreat, standing firm against the powerful force, he called out in worry.
"Sis...ugh..."
Sang Yichen’s mouth was tightly covered by Sang Xuewu, preventing him from making any inappropriate sounds.
Sang Yichen looked at her, but received a sharp warning in her gaze. Amidst the sharp warning was also concealed worry.
Sang Yichen slowly nodded, Sang Xuewu released her hand, turning to look at the smoky, dust-rising spot.
In the Dragon Tooth Camp, the group standing on the high ground looked at the smoke-rising spot in surprise.
"Such a commotion?" Bai Xi exclaimed in astonishment.
Yin Chen’s eyes filled with solemnity, he inwardly called out to Mu Qingge.
’I’m fine.’
After calling several times, Mu Qingge responded. This suddenly relaxed Yin Chen’s tightened heart, he breathed a sigh of relief and told the group, "Qingge is fine."
On Sunset Grassland, all gathered to watch the scene eagerly despite being heavily choked by the dust.
Coughing sounds echoed intermittently, yet no one was willing to leave at that moment, all eyes fixed unblinkingly on the place where the dust was gradually settling.
Once the smoke cleared, the figures of the two gradually became visible.
The ground they stood on had collapsed, concaving into the earth forming a circular pit.
Only then did the crowd see that their fists had met and Mu Qingge’s entire arm sleeve had been shattered into powder, exposing the jade-like arm beneath.
At this moment, Mu Qingge’s arm was somewhat swollen, covered in red blood streaks, skin on her fists even seeped blood. It was completely devoid of elegance, with her neck and forehead veins popping, complexion somewhat pale, eyes still fierce and unyielding.
Ying Ze’s eyes flashed with surprise.
"Hey? She actually withstood it!"
"She’s too strong, actually withstanding two moves from the young master Ying!"
"Seems like this Mu isn’t weak either! But why isn’t he on the Green Talent List?"
"Indeed strange, the Green Talent List was recently updated yet there’s no mention of such a figure."
"Either intentionally concealed, or emerged like his Dragon Tooth Floating Guest Team!"
"If he can withstand two moves, might there be a miracle with the third?"
"Hmph, hardly possible. With the third move, the young master Ying surely won’t hold back, fully exerting himself. And having endured two moves, this Mu’s body is likely at its limit now, how could he withstand the third move?"
"A logical analysis, it seems after the end of the second move there won’t be surprises in the outcome."
"So, continuing means this Mu is sure to die?"
"Certainly doomed! Would the young master Ying allow him to live, tarnishing his dignity? If word gets out he couldn’t eliminate an unranked person in three moves, would he keep his fourth place face on the Green Talent List?"
"But if victorious, this Mu could become famous!"
"That would require surviving the battle to claim fame."
"Third move, he’s destined to die!"
"Hmm, indeed ten deaths and no life."
"You really did surprise me." Ying Ze spoke up. Apparently, Mu Qingge’s ability to withstand the second move was also beyond his expectations.
Mu Qingge pulled her lips, retracting her terrifying arm behind her.
This movement allowed those behind her to see her injuries. The blood-filled, blood-seeping red swollen arm, skin gradually turning purple.
Sang Xuewu covered her mouth, eyes already slightly wet.
The Sang Family members were also significantly shocked, daunted by Mu Qingge’s arm.
Mo Yang’s face sank, fullness of concern in his deep eyes. Without a word, he removed his cloak, walking up to cover Mu Qingge’s arm.
Because he knew, shortly, Mu Qingge’s arm would restore as before. And this anomaly must be hidden from everyone.
"Quite pampered indeed." Mo Yang’s gesture elicited a disdainful snort from Ying Ze.
Mu Qingge, however, curved her lips into a smile saying, "Such genuine loyalty from subordinates isn’t something everyone can enjoy."
"Hmph." Sensing the sarcasm in Mu Qingge’s words, Ying Ze let out a cold snort. He turned away, taking big strides to distance himself from her. The mocking words followed, "Hope your skills are as sharp as your tongue. Otherwise, you won’t handle the remaining third move."
The smile remained on Mu Qingge’s lips, but her gaze turned somber.
Returning to position, Ying Ze faced Mu Qingge, arrogantly stating, "Third move, I shall exert myself fully, with absolute reserve!"
Hiss—!
Hearing Ying Ze’s words, the surrounding crowd inwardly mused, ’As expected!’
"Seems the young master is enraged!"
"The young master’s fury is such that this person has little chance of survival now."
"A pity, such an outstanding individual, if they could swallow their pride, may have claimed a spot on the Green Talent List in future. But now, it seems doomed here."
"Dragon Tooth guards, heed! If anyone dares to speak foolishly, execute them without mercy!" These words thoroughly angered Mo Yang, and his command suddenly stilled the clamorous crowd.
"Dragon Tooth obeys!"
The five hundred Dragon Tooth Guards shouted in unison.
Their momentum was not at all weaker than that of the Ying Family.
Each one of them had faces as sharp as knives, fierce and sharp, with anger and murderous intent in their eyes as they swept over the surrounding crowd. These people dared to curse their young lord to death? They had endured enough!
"Those who dare to insult the lord, kill! Those who dare to curse the lord, kill, kill, kill!"
"Those who dare to insult the lord, kill! Those who dare to curse the lord, kill, kill, kill!"
"Those who dare to insult the lord, kill! Those who dare to curse the lord, kill, kill, kill!"
The five hundred Dragon Tooth Guards quickly dispersed, forming a circle, pointing their sharp weapons at the surrounding spectators. They were like a sharp and fierce treasure sword, protecting Mu Qingge.
This momentum shocked the onlookers. For the first time, they witnessed the difference between the Dragon Teeth and ordinary Floating Guest organizations.
Under the deterrence of the Dragon Tooth Guards, the onlookers couldn’t help but step back, closing their mouths tightly and holding their breath.
The Third Elder of the Sang Family, watching this scene, sighed and said, "If this person does not die, the name Dragon Tooth will surely shake the entire Middle Ancient Realm in the future!"
Mu Qingge’s Dragon Tooth Guards made even Ying Ze envious.
He looked at Mu Qingge, openly admiring him, "I can give you a chance. If you hand over the Dragon Teeth to me, I can spare you this third move, and the matter of cutting Ying Chuan’s tongue will be forgiven as well."
He actually wanted Mu Qingge to exchange the Dragon Tooth Guards for his own life and death?
Mu Qingge laughed mockingly, his eyes full of sarcasm. "Young Master Ying, bring it on!"
He refused!
He actually refused?
A flicker of darkness passed through Ying Ze’s eyes.
"Aren’t you afraid of death?" Ying Ze squeezed the words through his teeth.
"Of course, I’m afraid! However, you won’t be able to kill me. And I will not use my subordinates for any exchange." Mu Qingge smiled lightly, as calm as the clouds and wind.
These words, though not spoken loudly, were heard clearly by everyone.
For a moment, the Floating Guests watching seemed to understand where the loyalty of the Dragon Teeth came from. Of course, many also mocked Mu Qingge in their hearts as a fool.
The expressions of the Dragon Tooth Guards remained unchanged because they already knew their place in Mu Qingge’s heart.
Such deeply touching moments, so many, only make them more determined to follow Mu Qingge and fight for her across the world!
Sang Yichen listened, his eyes welling with tears, overwhelmed with excitement.
He suddenly bypassed Sang Xuewu, dashed past Mo Yang, and rushed in front of Mu Qingge, looking at her with excitement.
Mu Qingge looked at the young man who suddenly rushed in front of her with some confusion, feeling a sense of familiarity in his features.
"Young lord!" Mo Yang was startled and hurriedly tried to take Sang Yichen away.
"Yichen!" Sang Xuewu was shocked by Sang Yichen’s actions and became instantly nervous.
Mu Qingge raised her hand, stopping Mo Yang from approaching. She looked at Sang Yichen and asked, "Who are you?"
"It’s me, it’s me, I am Yichen! I... I... I am your... I..." Face to face with Mu Qingge, Sang Yichen was so excited he couldn’t speak coherently.
Mu Qingge frowned and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"
Sang Yichen took a deep breath and finally calmed down. He gave Mu Qingge a serious look, turned around to block her, and loudly said to Ying Ze, "I will take this third move for her!"
"You?" Ying Ze sneered coldly.
Sang Yichen tilted his chin up and said, "Of course! Since this matter involves Sang Xuewu, I, being Sang Xuewu’s brother, naturally must step up."
So he was Sang Xuewu’s brother.
Mu Qingge finally understood the identity of the man standing in front of her. She also realized why she felt a sense of familiarity—his features were very similar to Sang Xuewu’s.
Ying Ze laughed, but his smile was icy, devoid of any warmth. He ignored Sang Yichen and instead looked at Mu Qingge, "He says he will take this third move for you."
This sentence seemed to hand the decision-making power to Mu Qingge, making him appear magnanimous.
Mu Qingge sneered disdainfully and pushed Sang Yichen aside, stepping out boldly to say to Ying Ze, "It’s unnecessary."
"Good!" Ying Ze nodded with an unclear smile.
Sang Yichen, being pushed aside, wanted to explain something, but Mo Yang grabbed him by the clothes and, before he could react, directly threw him back to the Sang Family’s side.
"No, I’m serious! Let me..."
"Yichen, calm yourself!" The Third Elder stopped Sang Yichen’s struggle, instructing two of the Sang Family’s stewards to keep a close watch on him.
Sang Xuewu’s mind was racing. She couldn’t let anything happen to Sang Yichen, nor could she let Mu Qingge die.
But if she stepped forward now, it might not make a difference.
She quickly walked to the Third Elder, suddenly kneeled, and pleaded, "Third Elder, please think of a way. Lord Mu is a life-saving benefactor of Xuewu, he cannot be harmed!"
"Xuewu, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" The Third Elder hurried to help Sang Xuewu to her feet.
Sang Xuewu, however, refused to stand, only pleading continuously.
Sang Zilan couldn’t bear it and said to Sang Xuewu, "Are you trying to make things difficult for the Third Elder? Isn’t this all caused by you? Sang Xuewu, look at the trouble you’ve caused, dragging not only the family but also others into it!"
"Xuewu, this matter is already beyond our control. Now, we can only hope the lord has heaven’s protection and can turn peril into safety!" The Third Elder sighed.
"You all be quiet!" Mo Yang turned and shouted at the clamoring Sang Family.
The younger generation of the Sang Family, intimidated by the hostility emanating from Mo Yang, dared not speak further.
Mo Yang glanced coldly at them, his voice firm, "Our young lord will not die!"
This belief was not only in his heart but also in the heart of every Dragon Tooth Guard.
"Are you all done talking? Don’t waste my time." Ying Ze said arrogantly.
The reaction of the Sang Family members seemed like a farce in his eyes.
Mu Qingge said lightly, "My time is also limited, let’s begin."
Ying Ze’s gaze swept over, coldly snorting, "If you seek death yourself, then into the Nine Netherworld you go. If you still wish to seek revenge, I’ll be waiting for you!" With that, he soared into the air.
Mu Qingge’s gaze focused, following him into the sky to confront him.
The two of them hovered in the air, standing opposite each other. The wind on the Sunset Grassland blew, making their hair and clothes dance wildly.
The people on the ground gasped in amazement, looking up, unwilling to miss this most exciting moment.
Mo Yang, Sang Xuewu, Sang Yichen, and others also raised their heads, looking at Ying Ze and Mu Qingge in the sky.
Ying Ze raised both hands, slowly gesturing in front of his chest.
Behind him, a gigantic golden rune gradually appeared, faintly visible...
’What is this?’ Mu Qingge wondered in her heart.
’He’s not lying, this time he’s using all his strength. The Ying Family’s bloodline possesses giant power, and if the one who left them this bloodline were to strike with full force, even I would keep my distance. Although this one isn’t even a thousandth of that, it’s more than enough to kill you.’ The voice of Hou suddenly echoed in Mu Qingge’s mind.
Mu Qingge was stunned, astonished, ’When did you come back?’
Wasn’t Hou off hunting in the Canglan Mountain Range?
Hou replied angrily, ’I’m still in the Canglan Mountain Range, rushing back! I wasn’t away for long, and you’re already risking your life? Are you trying to get me killed too? You must hold him off at all costs until I return!’
Mu Qingge understood.
The connection between her and Hou had alerted him to her danger, and through this thread, he learned what was happening here.
With Hou’s assistance, Mu Qingge would naturally be safe.
However, feeling the growing power surrounding Ying Ze, she calmly said, ’It’s too late.’
’Hey! Don’t do anything reckless! If you want to die, don’t pull me in!’ Hou said urgently.
"Mu Qingge, you’re quite amazing, I’ve remembered you! Today will be your death anniversary, and I shall return in a year to pay my respects." Ying Ze said to Mu Qingge as his whole body emitted a golden light.
A force not belonging to this world gradually gathered in front of his hands.
Mu Qingge’s gaze and expression were more serious than ever. It was as if a thousand tons of explosive were in front of her, terrifying beyond measure.
Before Ying Ze even attacked, Mu Qingge already felt the threat of death, as if it were right in front of her.
The most crucial part was, she couldn’t fight back and could only rely on her own ability to withstand it!
