Chapter 127: Mid-Air Conflict
Upon hearing Qing Lin's startled cry, Mo Yu's expression darkened. At the same time, a commotion began to stir outside. Mo Yu quickly set aside the satisfaction he felt from his recent power increase, hurriedly pulling open the door to step outside.
As he exited, he found Qing Lin and the other two girls huddled in a corner of the corridor. Opposite them stood several figures with hostile expressions.
"Young Master, you're out!" Qing Lin's anxious face lit up with relief as she quickly ran over to stand behind Mo Yu. Xue Mei and Lin Fei also relaxed slightly upon seeing Mo Yu, as if they had found their pillar of support. They joined Qing Lin, positioning themselves behind him.
"Kid, who are you?" The leader of the opposing group, a well-dressed young man, asked rudely. The young man was around twenty years old, with a handsome face, though his complexion was somewhat pale. His eyes, filled with lust, were fixed on the three girls standing behind Mo Yu, a lecherous grin spreading across his face. When he looked at Mo Yu, his expression turned cold and hateful.
Seeing a man surrounded by three women as beautiful as goddesses was enough to stir jealousy and resentment in any man. Mo Yu, noticing the young man's animalistic behavior and lewd gaze directed at the girls, quickly pieced together the situation. His brows furrowed as he responded with equal rudeness, "Who do you think you are?"
He hadn't seen these people when they first boarded the flying beast, so they must have joined at one of the stops, possibly hailing from the Mulan Empire. This would explain why the young man dared to show interest in Xue Mei and Lin Fei, who were usually untouchable due to their connections with a Tier 4 alchemist.
"Hmph, you ignorant fool! Listen well: I am Liu Xu, the fourth young master of the Liu family in Xi Huang City. If you know what's good for you, hand over the women behind you for my enjoyment, or else..." The young man's expression turned sinister as his gaze lingered on the three girls. He then issued a direct threat.
At the mention of the Liu family, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced back at Xue Mei, the meaning in his eyes clear. Was this guy the one you were supposed to marry?
Understanding Mo Yu's unspoken question, Xue Mei frowned deeply before shaking her head. Although she had never met her supposed fiancé, she knew that her arranged marriage was with Liu Xing, the second young master of the Liu family.
"Mo Yu, this guy tried to get handsy with Qing Lin earlier. You have to stand up for us," Lin Fei interjected, her cheeks flushed with anger. As the disciple of a Tier 4 alchemist and the daughter of a city lord, she wasn't used to being treated this way.
During Mo Yu's time in seclusion, the three girls had grown closer. However, while they were admiring the scenery from the corridor windows, Liu Xu had approached with ill intentions, even attempting to touch them. Upon seeing Mo Yu, Lin Fei wasted no time in reporting the incident, knowing that Mo Yu was particularly protective of Qing Lin.
Indeed, upon hearing that the pale-faced youth had tried to take advantage of Qing Lin, Mo Yu's expression darkened further. He glared coldly at Liu Xu and said in a low, threatening voice, "Get lost in the next three seconds, or you'll regret it!"
For a moment, Liu Xu felt a pang of fear, but he quickly brushed it off. As the son of the Liu family, a prominent clan in the western region of the Mulan Empire, how could he allow himself to be intimidated by a nobody? Backing down now would only invite ridicule from his siblings back home.
"Where did this little wretch come from? If you'd handed the women over willingly, I might have spared your pathetic life. But now..." Liu Xu's gaze grew more malicious as he turned to leer at the three girls. "I'll capture you, then enjoy your women right in front of you before tossing you off this flying beast!"
His vulgar words made the three girls' faces flush with anger. Lin Fei, in particular, couldn't help but want to strike him, but Mo Yu stopped her.
"I'll handle this," Mo Yu said calmly, his tone icy.
On Liu Xu's command, his bodyguards immediately lunged at Mo Yu.
"Courting death!" Mo Yu's face grew cold as he clenched his fist. Red lightning crackled around his hand, and with a swift movement, he struck the first guard square in the chest.
"Ah!" The guard, a six-star Dou Shi, staggered back several steps before clutching his chest and screaming in pain. The others could see that his chest had turned pitch black, with blood seeping through and a burnt smell filling the air—a terrifying sight.
"Lightning? No, this kid is hiding something. Liu Gu, take him down!" Liu Xu's face twisted in surprise as he saw the lightning dancing on Mo Yu's fist. He quickly called for another, more formidable guard.
The new guard, a nine-star Dou Shi, nodded in acknowledgment before launching a powerful kick at Mo Yu. His foot was enveloped in a deep yellow Dou Qi, the force of which caused the air to tremble. Mo Yu's expression grew serious.
In response, Mo Yu stomped on the ground, bending his body slightly before launching himself at the guard.
"Thunder Gang Body!" Mo Yu shouted inwardly as he clenched his right fist. His arm, now glowing with thirty lightning marks, struck out with terrifying force, generating a sharp sonic boom.
Boom!
The fist and foot collided with a deafening crash. Despite the guard's superior rank, Mo Yu's full-strength attack overwhelmed him, sending the guard flying backward. The man crashed into one of the small rooms, smashing it to pieces, revealing the blue sky and clouds outside.
Mo Yu flicked his hand dismissively as he watched the guard struggle to regain his footing on the edge of the flying beast. With thirty lightning marks and his six-star Dou Shi strength, he was nearly unbeatable against any Dou Shi opponent.
Turning his attention back to the now-terrified Liu Xu, Mo Yu sneered, "What was it you just said? Care to repeat that?"
