Chapter 165: Space Rift, Space Channel! (Request for Follow-up Reading)
Xiao Ye and Nangong Siyao appeared in front of them.
Since this was a treasure hunt, Xiao Ye didn't want to miss out, nor did he want to let Mu Qingxue and her partner take advantage for nothing.
Jie Gangtai stepped forward, blocking the two of them, and frowned, "Why the hell haven't you left yet? Trying to stick to us?"
Nangong Siyao sneered, "The Lighthouse Jellyfish Clan Territory was taken by the Alligator Turtle under our orders, which basically means we conquered it. The ones who should leave are you!"
Xiao Ye watched Mu Qingxue while mocking,
"Not long ago, I remember someone saying he'd keep to his own road, and we'd walk our own single-plank bridge, and that we'd never meet again."
He glanced around the Lighthouse Jellyfish Clan Territory, "This is our single-plank bridge."
"So, you've got your own road, and yet you insist on shamelessly barging onto ours?"
"You were the one who said we'd never cross paths again, and you're the one clingy as hell following us around. Aren't you pathetic?"
Every word from Xiao Ye hit home, leaving Jie Gangtai's face blazing red, fists clenched so tight his veins bulged.
Shameless? Pathetic?
*Those words echoed in Jie Gangtai's head, making his face and neck flush with rage.*
"You're fucking asking for it!" he roared in anger, ready to lunge. To support our work, please read on M|V|LE_MPYR.
Xiao Ye tripped him with a swift move, making him fall face-first into the dirt, mouth full of mud like a damn idiot.
"You fucker****, you trash****," the guy cursed out loud.
*He figured there was no way Xiao Ye and his girl would actually dare do anything serious to him. If he couldn't win a fight, then at least he could run his mouth. Cursing was all he had.*
Hearing all that foul language, Xiao Ye's lips twitched in annoyance, "Man, you really shouldn't have a mouth."
Crack! Xiao Ye cracked his knuckles, wanting to go over and beat the hell out of him.
But just then, something new happened on Mu Qingxue's side.
Mu Qingxue suddenly pulled out four items: a set of clothes, a round sphere, a sharp tool, and a blue-colored gadget.
She gripped the sharp tool, her small hands raised it high, then drove it viciously forward.
"Shh shh!!!"
The sharp tool shot out a weird, glowing blade, slicing toward the sea. As the blade slashed down, it shredded both seawater and space, producing sharp ripping sounds.
A spatial rift began to form from nothing, slowly widening, although not very quickly.
Mu Qingxue's pretty face lit up with joy, *It worked! Once that spatial rift fully opened, she'd be able to enter the Heart of the Secret Realm for sure!*
Xiao Ye dropped his idea of beating up Jie Gangtai and dashed toward Mu Qingxue.
Jie Gangtai panicked,
"You motherfucker**, you**"
"You pathetic trash, come at me if you've got balls. Picking on a woman—what kinda man are you…"
His cursing was as nasty as he could make it.
He stepped up his verbal barrage, trying to get in Xiao Ye's way, hoping to block him.
But Nangong Siyao wasn't about to let him; with a flash, she cut in front. Her small hand shot out, grabbing his neck and lifting him into the air, her voice cold,
"Xiao Ye was right, you really shouldn't have a mouth."
"You little bitch, you better put me down now—my dad is the Grand Guardian General of Shanghai Base City…" Jie Gangtai choked out.
"Whap!" The busty Nangong Siyao slapped him right across the face, a crisp sound ringing out as she poured all her strength into the hit. Several of Jie Gangtai's teeth flew out, his right cheek swelling up huge and red.
"Grand Guardian General…pfft!" Jie Gangtai spat a mouthful of blood and broken teeth, his face twisted with humiliation.
*He'd actually been smacked down by a woman, and one younger than him at that—how could his arrogant self handle it?*
"You…"
As Jie Gangtai tried to spit a threat, Nangong Siyao slapped him on the other cheek.
This time it was his left cheek.
"Pfft!" Another mouthful of bloody teeth flew out, his left cheek swelling to match the right.
Now his whole face was puffed up, looking like a pig's head.
"Caan ffeeelzz, caa'll moorrh…"
Seeing Nangong Siyao's icy glare, Jie Gangtai chickened out, admitting defeat, but his words came out slurred from all the swelling.
Nangong Siyao thought he was still cursing. "Bang!" She punched him right in the eye, leaving a big-ass black eye.
"Baa'oss, I shhh-walk-h…" Jie Gangtai wanted to cry but couldn't.
Nangong Siyao's pretty eyes widened, "You still talkin' shit?" Did he just call her a shrimp?
She punched him in the other eye, both now looking bruised and panda-eyed, dark as hell.
Jie Gangtai's face sagged with agony, *boiling with fury but powerless—this trip to the Secret Realm was forever going to haunt him as pure humiliation.*
"Doan' gee' mad, I ju—" He tried to explain more.
Nangong Siyao snapped, thinking he called her a chicken,
"You're the fucking chicken, your whole family's chickens!"
"Boom!" With a rumble, the busty lady channeled a burst of Power of Realm into his nose, cracking the bone with a sickening snap. Jie Gangtai collapsed like a dead dog, half-buried in the seabed.
*Finally realizing he couldn't talk straight and that sound travels for shit underwater, Jie Gangtai wisely kept his mouth shut, even through the pain.*
At that moment, Xiao Ye called out to her.
"Hmph!" Nangong Siyao's pretty face still fuming, shot Jie Gangtai a death glare, stomped him twice hard, then stormed over to Xiao Ye.
"That trash is just unbelievable—calling me a shrimp, calling me a chicken!" Nangong Siyao complained to Xiao Ye.
And off in the distance, Jie Gangtai heard her: …
In front of Mu Qingxue and Xiao Ye, a spatial rift two meters tall and half a meter wide had been carved open. Unlike most wild, unstable rifts, this one released no stray energy or attacks.
Nangong Siyao's beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity, "What is this?"
Mu Qingxue shot them a taunting look, lips curling into a playful smirk, "This is the gateway to the Heart of the Secret Realm! If you aren't afraid of getting sliced to death by the Spatial Blades inside, then by all means, try to follow!"
With that, she leapt lightly and slipped right through the rift.
Nangong Siyao frowned, "Xiao Ye, this place seems super dangerous… are we really going in?"
Xiao Ye pulled out the blue Space Shield gadget he'd gotten from Yunxi, grinned, "Hell yeah. In the heart of a Secret Realm, there's always good loot—you think I'm letting that woman have it all for free?"
"With this protective gear, those Spatial Blades can't touch us."
*If things got dicey, that Space Shield was enough to guarantee both of them made it through safely.*
Nangong Siyao nodded.
Then the two of them stepped, one after the other, into the spatial rift.
The world went black, and they found themselves inside a passage laced with raging Spatial Blades—it took only a single step to cross into it.
Boom!
Thousands of Spatial Blades burst from every direction, zero dead zones.
The blue Space Shield gadget shattered instantly, forming a shield that clung to Xiao Ye's skin, blocking every blade.
The Spatial Blades hit as hard as the Venerable Realm stage, though not up to a full-force strike from even a low-tier Venerable.
But Xiao Ye's face fell, *This Space Shield could only protect one person!*
*What about Nangong Siyao? If those blades hit her at Venerable strength, she was a goner for sure!*
