BXBX NOVEL Chapter 256: 352
As the fight continued, Song Mobei saw his junior sister's face get swollen from the beating and started to strike at Fang Ren's arm; however, Madame Xuan effortlessly neutralized his attack.
Watching this scene, probably no one could be more excited than them from the third class of the Medical College since they understood the relationship between Fang Ren and Mu Hui all too well!
The Tiandao elder brother wants to chop off Ranzi's hand? Would Madame Xuan agree?
...
Inside the venue:
"Damn! Was that last longsword strike from Brother Song? My heavens, if that had hit, Young Master Fang would have at least lost an arm!"
"It's the first time I've seen the usually gentle and easy-going Brother Song lose his cool! It seems Young Master Fang really hit too hard this time!"
"Nonsense! The rules were agreed upon by the two of them beforehand, as long as there's no fatality, anything goes. Moreover, when Princess Fulan was heavy-handed with Young Master Fang earlier, why didn't Brother Song help then?"
"Exactly! Brother Song was in the wrong here. Princess Fulan had all the advantages in terms of Realm, and she kept looking down on Young Master Fang. If Young Master Fang didn't have the strength to counterattack, I guarantee he would be in a much worse state than Princess Fulan is now!"
"Thank goodness Lady Xuan intervened in time to protect! Otherwise, Young Master Fang's hand would definitely have been severed on the spot!"
...
"General Song, was that sword strike of yours intended to cut down the future of our human-made Elixirs?"
Mu Huanqing stood in the center of the venue, the silver radiance constantly shedding from her body. Her expression was exceptionally cold as she looked at Song Mobei across from her, her gaze akin to how she would regard a Void beast on the battlefield.
At the slightest hint of homicidal intent, she would possibly kill this man at any moment.
Song Mobei's own expression had also become extremely cold; he had never imagined that Mu Huanqing, as a Xuan Nv, would step in and protect the Young Master of the Fang Family at this juncture.
In addition, the fact that she was staring at him with such an indifferent gaze... He remembered seeing Mu Huanqing slaughter Void beasts on the battlefield, her eyes then were exactly the same as how she was looking at him now.
Song Mobei could not comprehend; he was just going to sever one of Fang Ren's arms, and Fang Ren would recover naturally once his Cultivation Level improved in the future. He merely wanted to regain some dignity for the Tiandao Sword Sect.
Why was Mu Huanqing looking at him with such eyes?
He increasingly felt that if his sword strike had truly severed Fang Ren's arm, maybe Mu Huanqing would have slapped him into a cripple by now.
His confusion deepened: What exactly was the relationship between Mu Huanqing and this Fang Ren? Fang Ren's injury wasn't fatal; did it really warrant such fury from Mu Huanqing?
"Lady Xuan, don't you think Young Master Fang went a bit too far?" Song Mobei asked, "I merely wanted to teach Young Master Fang a lesson, yet you accuse me of annihilating the future of human-made Elixirs. Then if Young Master Fang injures my junior sister like this, isn't he harming the future of human talent?"
"If your junior sister is not as skilled, she should pay the price for her arrogance and ignorance. General Song, don't use twisted logic to excuse your junior sister," Mu Hui Qing said with a cold look.
Seeing this, Song Mobei continued, "Lady Xuan is not wrong in saying my junior sister is not as skilled, but everyone knows that it was Young Master Fang who provoked first. During the district competition, Young Master Fang openly mocked my Tiandao Sword Sect for not knowing the Sword Dao, branding us as a bunch of frogs in a well.
This provoked my junior sister, leading to the situation we have today."
Mu Hui Qing didn't say a word, unwilling to deal with Song Mobei's distortions of truth and twisted logic.
Your junior sister spreads rumors just because she can't handle mockery? She couldn't win and now she wants to blame others for her lack of strength?
If your junior sister hadn't done what she did originally, would anyone intentionally mock her now?
Song Mobei went on to say, "Since Young Master Fang has already said that my Tiandao Sword Sect knows nothing of the Sword Dao, does that also imply that he is mocking me as much as he mocks my junior sister?"
Fang Ren slowly stood up, his white pupils still not glancing at the person unworthy of his respect. He said, "If the junior sister couldn't win, is this senior brother supposed to force a sparring session with me?"
Song Mobei slowly stepped down from the special seat onto the field and said, "Young Master Fang really knows how to twist my words. That my junior sister lost is her own matter, but when Young Master Fang mocks my entire sword sect, it becomes my business as the elder brother."
The Family Heads in the special seats frowned together, of course, they wouldn't allow the situation to escalate further. If this continued, human internal conflicts could get out of hand.
However, since they all regarded Bai Chaojin as the leader and he had not spoken, they naturally remained seated without acting.
Only Mu Hui Qing's grandfather, Mu Qing Mountain, had a troubled expression. His granddaughter... he definitely had no power over her now; whatever she wished to do, he would let her be.
At the back of the spectator stands, Shang Han, who was still wearing a headscarf, was in a state of shock. He simply couldn't believe the sight of Fang Ren rubbing Xia Fu Lan into the ground before.
That was the Tiandao Princess! Nearly at the peak of Yingyue Realm! A top-tier genius among the young generation of humans!
Yet his Ranzi, just about three months ago, was merely a person who couldn't even cultivate the Spiritual Root and dabbled with Elixirs; how suddenly he starts beating up this top-tier young genius on a whim and turns her into a pig?
"Brother Zheng! Where the hell have you run off to today! Your son's about to take flight!" Shang Han shouted inwardly, his thoughts chaotically swirling.
He now wished he could directly drag Fang Zheng, who was on the battlefield, over and point to Fang Ren below, telling him that his son finally had a Spiritual Root! And an incredibly powerful one at that!
In the center of the field, Song Mobei's face bore a cold tone as he summoned his Spirit Form, a golden Longsword named Sky Gang, known as the second-best Spirit Form in the world. His entire body's True Qi was also golden, known as the second-best Sky Gang Righteous Qi.
After all, the first was always Mu Hui Qing's.
"Young Master Fang, I believe it is necessary for me, as the elder brother of the Tiandao Sword Sect, to have a match against someone who looks down on our Sect," Song Mobei declared.
"Are you suggesting a Spar in Realm, Brother Song?" Fang Ren asked with a smile, "Why not speak of the Sword Dao?"
