"Hm?! What happened?"
Mu Jinyu saw Zhu Yeqing stop in her tracks upon hearing Ye Chen's words and couldn't help but ask in astonishment.
Zhu Yeqing took a deep breath, digesting the shock of the information Ye Chen had revealed, without responding immediately.
Seeing Zhu Yeqing halt her movements as he spoke, Ye Chen knew he had frightened her. The fear in his heart swept away, and his expression once again turned fierce and deranged as he shouted:
"My master is Ye Wushuang, the current seventh-ranked super-powerful figure on the Divine Rankings. You can't afford to provoke him!"
"If you dare kill me, my master will absolutely not let you off. He'll hunt you down for thousands of miles and torture you to death before crushing your bones and scattering them to the wind!"
"If you have the guts, kill me and try it out!"
"Don't have the guts? Then let that guy behind you hurry up and heal my injuries, or I definitely won't let him off! Once my master learns you've wounded me, I won't let him go!"
"..."
Hearing Ye Chen's suddenly arrogant and defiant rant, Mu Jinyu also understood why Zhu Yeqing, originally filled with a killing intent that soared to the skies, had abruptly halted.
Because Ye Wushuang was the unrivaled powerhouse ranked seventh in the current Divine Rankings!
Initially, Mu Jinyu didn't think much of the name Ye Wushuang, but after Ye Chen mentioned the Divine Rankings, he thought of other hidden powerhouses at the God Realm level.
In the Chinese Martial Arts Circle, it was impossible to have only one God Realm powerhouse like the Old Dragon King, just as it was impossible for only the leaders of the Top Ten Organizations to be at that level worldwide.
There were naturally many more existing at the God Realm, but most were like divine dragons, their heads seen but tails concealed, their whereabouts unknown.
And Mu Jinyu had once seen a ranking of God Realm powerhouses within the Dragon King Hall – the Divine Rankings!
The list included the top thirty-six God Realm powerhouses worldwide!
And Ye Wushuang was the seventh-ranked God Realm powerhouse on that list.
As for the Old Dragon King, during his peak, he was ranked ninth, but as he suffered injuries and entered a period of decline, he fell out of the top ten to the twenty-eighth position.
Such a person was Ye Chen's master; no wonder his disciple too was a God Realm figure, which explained why Zhu Yeqing was so scared that she stopped and dared not move!
Moreover, in this age of Spiritual Energy Revival, exactly to what heaven-reaching, earth-penetrating extent Ye Wushuang's cultivation had reached was unknown to anyone. Who then would dare to rashly kill his disciple?
However...
Mu Jinyu was fearless, his voice cold as he declared, "What of the seventh on the Divine Rankings? What of Ye Wushuang? Before my Dragon King Hall, they are still nothing but chickens and dogs. Kill him!"
The last sentence was directed at Zhu Yeqing.
"This..."
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Zhu Yeqing still hesitated to take action, looking back at him uncertainly.
Mu Jinyu said indifferently, "We've already killed his junior sister and injured him this severely. Do you think Ye Wushuang would let it go if he knew?"
With a cold laugh, Mu Jinyu continued, "If we let him go, it's likely he'll distort the story and add fuel to the hatred. It's pointless; better to kill him outright and finish it."
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Ye Chen, who had been so confident and arrogant, believing Mu Jinyu wouldn't dare to kill him, suddenly panicked.
He frantically pleaded, "No, no, no, I won't say anything, just heal my injuries and let me leave, I won't let my master come after you!"
Mu Jinyu didn't trust Ye Chen's words at all. Even if he didn't speak, how would he explain the death of his junior sister?
Seeing Zhu Yeqing still hesitating, a hint of disappointment flickered in Mu Jinyu's eyes as he said calmly, "If you don't want to take revenge with your own hands, then I'll do it myself!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yeqing, who had been indecisive, suddenly had a flash of resoluteness in her eyes.
If Mu Jinyu was confident he could deal with Ye Wushuang, then why should she hesitate any longer and risk displeasing him?
After all, her life was as good as regained today. Even if Mu Jinyu couldn't stop Ye Wushuang's retaliation, she would have gained some time living on borrowed time, which was enough.
Thus, Zhu Yeqing gripped her dagger and walked towards Ye Chen!
"No, no, no!! You can't kill me, you can't kill me, ah! If you truly kill me, it's an outright declaration of war, and my master won't let you off!"
Seeing Zhu Yeqing's resolve wavering, as she truly prepared to take his life, Ye Chen completely panicked and shouted incoherently.
However, by this time, Zhu Yeqing had already steeled her heart, her will no longer swayed by his pleas.
She strode forward and swung her dagger!
"Shick!"
Vigorous qi erupted, and although Ye Chen was of the God Realm, he belonged to the kind nurtured in a medicinal cauldron, currently severely injured, and with his martial arts will collapsed, how could he be a match for Zhu Yeqing?
He was so scared that he forgot to dodge.
Then his legs were cleanly severed by Zhu Yeqing!
Just as he had previously done, when he used his oppressive force to force Zhu Yeqing to kneel and snapped her legs.
It could be said that it was a tit for tat!
"Ahh!!"
With his legs brutally chopped off by Zhu Yeqing, the surge of pain, along with the realization that he would never be able to walk again, caused Ye Chen to let out a howl as if he wished for death!
Zhu Yeqing's movements were swift and ruthless, feeling that using the dagger seemed too merciful for Ye Chen, so she put away the dagger, approached him, grabbed his arm, and twisted it violently!
"Crack... Crunch..."
The crisp sound of bones shattering filled the air as Zhu Yeqing twisted off Ye Chen's arm!
She then yanked hard backwards!
"Shick!"
Ye Chen's entire arm was ripped off by Zhu Yeqing, blood splattered everywhere, with a fair amount landing on Zhu Yeqing's face!
Under the reflection of Zhu Yeqing's hideous smile, she looked like a demon!
Ye Chen screamed in pain and was so terrified by Zhu Yeqing's expression that sounds of 'plop, plop' could be heard—he couldn't help but lose control of his bladder and bowels!
Zhu Yeqing wrinkled her nose, feeling a wave of disgusting smell that was hard to bear, but as a top-grade assassin, she had seen all sorts of scenes, so she continued, grabbed his other arm, and tore it off with another pull!
"Ahh!!"
Ye Chen screamed in agony and finally couldn't help but beg, "Please, don't kill me! Don't kill me! I won't dare to go against you, please let me go... "
Zhu Yeqing's face was impassive with killing intent soaring in her eyes!
She recalled the pain of being hunted by Ye Chen and the torment of the seemingly worse than death experience from moments ago, moved her foot swiftly, and kicked out fiercely!
"Bang!"
Ye Chen flew into the air like a broken sandbag, his spleen burst by the kick, then he flipped over and crashed heavily to the ground!
"Urgh..."
Zhu Yeqing walked over and stepped on his back; vigorous qi burst forth and poured down into Ye Chen's body, causing a chain of crackling noises within him like firecrackers going off, but what exploded were his bones!
"Blurgh! Ugh!"
Ye Chen, having suffered consecutive serious injuries, spat out blood violently, his internal organs completely shattered by Zhu Yeqing, and even as a God Realm expert, the life force within him was rapidly draining away!
His pupils were dilating, knowing that he was undoubtedly going to die!
In his eyes, there was a thick sense of frustration and regret.
If he had known this would be his end, he would never have attempted to snatch the spirit stone Zhu Yeqing had discovered, even if it killed him.
But who could have known that behind this woman stood another God Realm expert, who didn't even regard his master Ye Wushuang with the slightest importance?!
This led to his death, and even more humiliating was dying at the hands of a small ant who had reached the Complete Energy Transformation Stage, which was incredibly frustrating for him!
Zhu Yeqing lifted her foot off Ye Chen's back, feeling much more at ease in her heart — her thoughts clearer than ever.
However, there was still one last step she hadn't taken against this Ye Chen!
Zhu Yeqing lifted her foot again and stomped it down heavily towards Ye Chen's head!
"Thud!"
The sound of something akin to a watermelon hitting the ground rang out, with a thick sludge of watermelon juice mixed with tofu brain bursting forth from under Zhu Yeqing's foot!
