this……

Hiding a girl's hair close to her body—isn't that too frivolous of you?

That's too reckless!

...

The ancestral hall's large courtyard was immediately cleared out, and the crowd formed a circle, like a fighting arena.

Mo Yunlan supported Fu Meng, who was covered in whip marks. Her heart was burning with anxiety, but she still tried to remain calm. She had to believe in A Zhao.

Both she and Fu Meng were ready to step in and save someone at any moment.

Mo Yunzhao and Yu Ping'er stood facing each other.

A cherry blossom, red as blood, bewitching.

A pure white, like snow, like a ghost.

The cool spring breeze made their skirts flutter in the wind.

Yu Ping'er asked disdainfully, "Mo Yunzhao, is this supposed to be a life-or-death battle? You're a cripple without any spiritual power right now. Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Mo Yunzhao nodded slightly: "Stop talking nonsense."

Yu Ping'er's anger was completely ignited. "Then don't blame me for being merciless with my whip."

With a snap.

With a flick of the whip, a crack appeared in the blue brick floor.

With another snap, the long whip, glowing red and brimming with immense spiritual power, ripped through the void, heading straight for Mo Yunzhao's face.

This was a move intended to kill Mo Yunzhao!

Life or death hangs in the balance.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Only Ling Jingyu watched with relaxed eyes, then pulled out a bunch of grapes and a jade bowl from who-knows-where, peeling the grapes as he looked at them.

Mo Yunzhao merely raised his eyes slightly, his dark eyes seeming to see a long whip slicing through the void and whipping towards him.

She lightly raised her left hand and easily grasped the long, blade-like whip.

With a strong pull, she dragged Yu Ping'er, who was three meters away, to her side.

Mo Yunzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you know what happens to the seller?"

It was Yu Ping'er who gave Mo Bici the idea to sell her into a pleasure boat and humiliate her.

Yu Ping'er was terrified and tried to pull back the whip with all her might, but she couldn't move at all, which made her face turn red.

"I don't know what you're talking about, just let go!"

Yu Ping'er blushed with anger, raised her left hand, and slashed at Mo Yunzhao's crown with a palm strike as sharp as a blade.

Mo Yunzhao parted her red lips slightly: "Die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gathered his strength and struck Yu Ping'er in the abdomen, then released his grip on the whip.

A scream erupted.

Yu Ping'er flew out in an arc and crashed heavily to the ground.

The long whip, imbued with spiritual energy, bounced back and lashed fiercely across her body, from her cheek to her ribs.

The screams were so loud they startled the stars in the clouds.

"Ping'er!"

The head of the Yu family rushed forward and saw the whip wound running from Yu Ping'er's cheek to her ribs, with flesh torn apart and bones exposed.

Even worse, he sensed that Yu Ping'er's spiritual power was completely depleted!

"father."

Yu Ping'er was bent over in pain, her voice trembling.

Seeing her miserable state, the head of the Yu family rose up in anger, pointed directly at Mo Yunzhao, and questioned her repeatedly.

"Mo Yunzhao, you are too cruel. It was just a small competition, yet you disfigured her and destroyed her spirit. Moreover, she was also a citizen of your city. How could you slaughter your own people like this?"

"Today I will kill you, to rid the people of this cruel and useless city lord! I will act on behalf of Heaven!"

The head of the Yu family revealed a fierce glint in his eyes. He raised his hand and waved it, releasing even more powerful spiritual energy in an instant, which transformed into seven sword energies.

The powerful pressure caused his clothes to flutter and his hair to stand on end.

Many people present felt suffocated by the pressure.

Even Mo Yunlan was bent over by the pressure.

Seven sharp sword energies, like a net of heaven and earth, tore through the void and directly surrounded Mo Yunzhao.

Extremely dangerous.

"A Zhao!"
