Mu Tianyang looked up.
Ding Hao felt that Mu Tianyang’s eyes focused on him and it instantly seemed that there was a huge mountain on his back.
“Did you kill him?” Mu Tianyang turned back and walked toward him slowly.
People from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect all changed their faces. The Blossom Sword Lu Yuqi gnashed her teeth and raised her hand. With a whooshing sound, she released a help beacon for the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. In the sky, a picture of a huge ancient silver sword showed up, twinkling and dazzling.
Mu Tianyang, however, seemed to be unaware of it, and had no intention of stopping it at all.
Everyone knew that it was not unstoppable for Mu Tianyang; he didn’t care at all—his lack of care was based on his solid confidence in his own strength. Even if anyone came, no one would be able to stop him.
Without considering Xie Jieyu’s obstruction and the desperate attempts of the two old men Saber Master and Sword Master in his mind, Ding Hao took a difficult step forward, under the enormous mountain-like pressure on his back. He looked back at Mu Tianyang without showing fear. With a clear voice he said: “Yes, I killed him with my sword.”
To everyone’s surprise, the response was not a strike back out of violent rage.
Mu Tianyang even nodded with a slight approval: “Well, your courage does not disappoint me. It is not disgraceful for my brother to be killed by someone like you. I never thought there were people like you in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.”
Ding Hao felt astonished.
Everyone was stunned.
Nobody ever thought that Mu Tianyang would say so.
Did he actually understand the important principle better than everyone imagined, and had no intention of working out the accountability, to avenge his brother?
Ding Hao said nothing, but quietly looked at the young genius who was famous throughout the Snow Province.
Things would not be so simple.
“If I meet you at any other time, I might buy you a drink. I, Mu Tianyang, admire those crazy people with unruly behavior in my life,” Mu Tianyang looked at Ding Hao and said quietly. “However, the person you killed is my brother, so I won’t hold anyone else accountable for this anymore. You take your own life.”
The last sentence was full of killing intent.
Ding Hao sneered. He slowly ran Qi, pulled out the long bloody saber behind in a backhand manner; with a fighting posture, he made his choice known.
Blossom Sword Lu Yuqi said hastily: “You have heard all about this matter. The only thing to be blamed is your brother’s own obsession for women’s beauty. He was wrong first. Even if Ding Hao made a mistake, his lfie should be spared…”
“Shame.”
Mu Tianyang’s face was as cold as frost. Without looking at her, he suddenly launched a palm attack.
A long snow-white, icy and lifelike dragon roared out of his palm. With the dragon’s whistling, he struck at Blossom Sword Liu Yuqi like lightning.
Lu Yuqi felt greatly frightened.
She raised her hand, and her sword flashed.
Blossoms of fragrant flowers were miraculously transformed from the sword tip, like a shield blocking in front of her.
Boom!!
Flowers collided with the snow-white, icy and long dragon; petals fell all over the sky.
Lu Yuqi grunted and she was kicked out like catkin. Blood oozed out from the white corner of her mouth.
Lu Yuqi was injured by one strike!
And the injury was obviously serious.
Blossom Sword Lu Yuqi, as the inner elder of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, could not stand up to Mu Tianyang’s single strike. Ding Hao could tell that the strike just now was not carried out with Mu Tianyang’s full strength. If they had carried out a life-and-death fight, Blossom Sword Lu Yuqi might not stand up to three strikes.
Such a strength contest had shown clearly that even if Blossom Sword, the male senior of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and even Ding Hao, all five of them fighting together against Mu Tianyang, they were no match for this prodigy of the Tranquility Academy.
What Ding Hao faced seemed to be a dead end.
An impasse!
The teenager with a black mole and the other two blood lineage disciples looked at each other face to face, then retreated quietly. They tried to stand away from Ding Hao as far as possible, so as not to get involved and be injured during the fight.
The male senior of the sect did not move, but his expression already showed a hint of retreating.
Only Xie Jieyu, the girl in the red-fire light armor said nothing, but she took a light step forward and stood beside Ding Hao.
Clouds after clouds of glazed air were released from the most beautiful girl’s slim body. The girl banged on the ground with a backhand motion. After a flash of red light, a box, which was five chi tall and three chi wide showed up without any indication.
Nobody knew what material the box was made of. It was all bright red like blaze, seal-engraved with gold inscriptions and emitting an indescribable odor.
“Cang Lang Lang!” (A sound of pulling out the sword)
With a clear and melodious sound, Xie Jieyu pulled out a blood-red thin sword of a two-finger width out of the box, with a very clever technique.
She made her position clear by her actions.
Although she was like a flying moth darting into the fire, without the slightest hesitation, she was so resolute.
“Mu Tianyang had made all kinds of evil and was heading toward his own doom. As the talent in the Tranquility Academy, you have no sense of distinction between right and wrong and have no sense of reason. Claiming to be the first person of the younger generation in the Snow Province, you don’t deserve to be called ‘prodigy’. How disappointing!”
With the thin sword in hand, Xie Jieyu had heroic spirit, looked firm and strong with no fear at all, and sneered at Mu Tianyang as she spoke.
Mu Tianyang focused his eyes on the red box. With the pupils becoming narrower, he seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at Xie Jieyu carefully again. An imperceptibly stunning look flashed away from this teenager’s icy eyes, and as if from now on, he just noticed that such a beautiful girl was present.
“Whatever evils he had done, he still was my brother.” Unexpectedly Mu Tianyang produced such a rare explanation.
The triangular faced man and the bearded man showed looks of amazement.
This was not their master’s style.
Xie Jieyu sneered and said: “Just because he is your brother, he can bring calamity to all people and do whatever he wants?”
Perhaps Xie Jieyu’s contemptuous attitude angered the ‘prodigy’ of the Tranquility Academy.
He snorted coldly and bridled at her, saying: “Yes, just because he is Mu Tianyang’s brother, everything he takes a fancy to should be given to him. All his needs should be satisfied, the woman he likes should obediently obey him, and he would rather betray the world than let the world betray him. Hum, just a female disciple in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect… It would be her honor if my brother wanted her!”
“Arrogance!” Xie Jieyu gave a cold rebuke.
“Only the strong have arrogant capital.” Mu Tianyang looked cold. “Go away, little girl, and get out of here before I decide to kill you.”
Xie Jieyu smiled coldly, but she no longer spoke. She stood close to Ding Hao and did not move away one step from him.
Ding Hao smiled and shook his head. He moved one step forward, putting Xie Jieyu behind him and said in a pitiable tone: “I suddenly come to understand that you only care about your almost abnormal narcissism and self-esteem. I used to admire you very much. Now I think you look really pitiable!”
