Free Web NovelChapter 82: Chapter 80: Ye Yuan’s Severed Limb
In the midst of the chaos, Su Mo heard Ye Yuan’s voice from outside.
She cried out in pleasant surprise, "Ye Yuan! I’m over here!"
The man in the heat of battle froze for an instant, then flashed before her. He reached out, his hand unerringly clamping onto the wrist she was using to cling to the enclosure wall!
Just as Ye Yuan was about to pull Su Mo up and get her out of there.
Zuo Xuan, who had used his last ounce of strength to swallow a Detoxification Pill, lunged forward and grabbed Su Mo’s ankle.
But just as Su Mo instinctively kicked out with her other foot, trying to free her hand to poison him again, Zuo Xuan whipped out a rattan cord from his waist. He instantly bound her feet, then seized the other hand that was reaching for her own waist and secured it tightly!
Then, he threatened Ye Yuan on the other side of the wall in a cold voice, "If you don’t want her to die faster, then let go right now!"
As if Ye Yuan would listen to him. He whipped out his weapon, ready for a confrontation.
But Zuo Xuan was exceptionally cunning. He flung a handful of powder, and Ye Yuan, caught off guard, inhaled a breath of it and swayed on his feet.
In her panic, Su Mo screamed, "Quick, take a Detoxification Pill!"
At this moment, Yue Ying and Lord Jian Yi were tied up fighting Jin Tong’s men on the back mountain.
That bastard had planned this all along, bringing men in from the outside to the back mountain, while Ye Yuan had left Jing Ming’s team stationed at the front gate.
Now, the fight was taking a toll on everyone’s energy and concentration.
Yue Ying couldn’t break away. He had just pulled a pouch from his waist when the Beastman opposite him made a feint and knocked it to the ground!
Seeing Su Mo about to be taken away by Zuo Xuan again, Ye Yuan suppressed the last shred of his sanity. His light blue pupils instantly deepened to a dark blue.
With a raise of his hand, countless Ice Blades materialized and shot toward Zuo Xuan.
A blinding ice-blue light filled the air, each Ice Blade radiating an eerie, soul-chilling gleam in the twilight.
They aimed straight for Zuo Xuan’s vitals!
For a moment, it was as if the very air around them had frozen solid.
From behind them came Lord Jian Yi’s panicked shout, "Your Highness, are you insane?!"
Using the Mermaid’s Ultimate Kill while poisoned would cause the toxin to spread rapidly to his heart meridians.
His Highness was only a Fourth Rank Mermaid Beastman; he couldn’t possibly control the poison’s spread!
But Ye Yuan couldn’t care about any of that right now. All he knew was that he could not let this man take his wife!
’If my wife is taken back, she’ll be in grave danger! I can’t just stand by and watch her get taken away right under my nose!’
’Absolutely not!’
Amidst the dazzling storm of blue Ice Blades, Ye Yuan lunged forward, reaching for Su Mo.
Just when he thought he would finally reach her.
Zuo Xuan unleashed all his Inner Strength and—BOOM!—shattered every single Ice Blade in front of him!
The next second, blood trickled uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth. Fighting through the searing pain in his guts, he raised his long saber and slashed straight at Ye Yuan!
’The Sect Leader ordered me to bring this woman to him. Even if it takes my very last breath, I must succeed today!’
"Watch out!"
At Su Mo’s cry, Ye Yuan dodged, but the saber still struck his left arm.
With a sickening thud of tearing flesh and bone, blood gushed out, splattering unexpectedly onto the hem of Su Mo’s dress and her shoes.
Ye Yuan let out an involuntary grunt of pain and staggered back, his face deathly pale as he looked at Su Mo.
Instantly, Su Mo’s pupils dilated in shock. "Ye Yuan! Ye Yuan..."
She was already regretting it. ’I shouldn’t have called out to him!’
’I really shouldn’t have!’
Little Nine’s tearful voice echoed in her mind, "Host, what do we do? The little mermaid prince, he... what do we do...?"
Su Mo struggled, trying to lunge toward him, but she couldn’t break free from Zuo Xuan’s grip at all.
"Wife... I was useless..."
The young man before her couldn’t hide the agony in his eyes as he looked at her, his expression filled with frustration and self-blame.
It was as if he was consumed with regret for failing to save her.
Su Mo’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared at him and screamed, "Ye Yuan... go! Get out of here, now! Immediately!"
Zuo Xuan, fighting back the metallic tang of blood rising in his throat, snarled, "You brought this on yourself. Don’t blame me!"
With those words, he grabbed Su Mo and vanished in a flash.
Su Mo twisted her head and shouted back, "Ye Yuan! Freeze your severed limb immediately and go back to the East Sea to wait for me! Remember what I said! Wait for me!"
Lord Jian Yi finally broke free from the Beastman he was fighting, snatched up the pouch Yue Ying had dropped, and flew over to catch the weakened Ye Yuan.
"Your Highness!"
Yue Ying shouted to them, "Lord Jian Yi, quickly freeze the severed limb, give Ye Yuan a Detoxification Pill, and take him back to the East Sea!"
Jiao Li, having no time to think, immediately did as Yue Ying said. He froze the severed limb, administered the Detoxification Pill, and prepared to take Ye Yuan away.
"Lord Yue Ying, I’ll leave things here to you. I’ll have the Young Master Snake send reinforcements from the front to help!"
"Right!"
Soon, Jiao Li vanished with Ye Yuan in a streak of light.
Su Mo had now regained a sliver of composure. But when she thought back to the scene just now, an overwhelming killing intent began to radiate from her uncontrollably.
She summoned Little Nine in her mind, every syllable she uttered laced with a chilling hatred. "Help me. I want him dead! This time, he must die!"
Su Mo had never felt such a strong killing intent toward anyone before, but this time, she was determined to watch Zuo Xuan die with her own eyes!
Little Nine nodded solemnly. "Okay! Host, you can use the special dagger and the Beast Tendon Bow from your storage space. If you combine them and wait for the right moment, you can definitely kill him in one blow!"
In the blink of an eye, Zuo Xuan brought Su Mo before Jin Tong.
Outside the wall, Mo Xiao, Fei Yan, and Jing Ming had already learned that one of Jin Tong’s subordinates had severed Ye Yuan’s arm. Their gazes toward Zuo Xuan were thick with murderous intent.
Jin Tong reached out and grabbed Su Mo by the neck, his murderous eyes fixed on her. "Miss Su, you’re quite capable. Even when I’ve restricted your movements, you can still poison my men! Where did you get all this poison?!"
’I distinctly remember having her searched on the first day she was brought back!’
’To prevent any tricks, I even had her clothes changed from head to toe. Where in the world did she get poison?’
Su Mo gasped for breath, her expression pained.
She opened her mouth and let out a strained chuckle. "Someone gave it to me, of course. For that, Master, you should ask a few of your favorite subordinates! If they hadn’t provided me with the medicinal herbs, how could I have developed it? What do you think, Mr. Zuo?!"
"You!" Zuo Xuan glared furiously at Su Mo.
’This woman is as cunning as they say!’
Jin Tong’s grip on Su Mo’s neck tightened. "You dare try to sow discord! It seems you’re one of those who won’t cry until you see the coffin!"
Su Mo’s expression grew even more pained!
The men below the wall couldn’t hide the worry on their faces.
In the end, Jin Tong didn’t kill Su Mo. Keeping her alive was still useful to him for now.
’My subordinates have all had their Inner Strength restricted to some degree. A head-on clash right now would lead to disastrous losses!’
’It would be better to let the North Wing deal with the Tiger Clan for me first. Once my reinforcements arrive, then I can take care of the North Wing!’
Down below, the members of the Tiger Clan Tribe didn’t know who this woman who had suddenly appeared was.
Only Xuan Qing, standing outside the crowd, had seen everything clearly. He had sensed something was off from the moment he arrived.
’So this is the reason.’
Jin Tong was heard saying to Mo Xiao, who was off to the side, "If you want her to live, then help me eliminate the Tiger Clan first. Otherwise..."
He squeezed the hand on Su Mo’s neck slightly!
Instantly, all the color drained from Su Mo’s face.
Below the wall, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan both cried out anxiously, "Wife!"
Xuan Qing stood there, his gaze flickering. ’Jin Tong actually captured the wife of a North Wing Beastman?!’
His gaze inevitably fell upon the woman in Jin Tong’s grasp.
She had an ordinary face and wore a light-colored dress, its hem mottled with bloodstains. She looked rather battered.
’She’s clearly a Female with zero Combat Power, yet she shows no fear in a situation like this.’
’In fact, she’s radiating an aura that seems powerful enough to destroy the world. Where does she get that confidence?’
