Chapter 966 Bully (2/2)

A thunderous uproar swept across the place like a wave.

The various experts were utterly shocked. They had never imagined that Su Youwei would step forward at this juncture and pit herself against Zhao Mushen for Zhou Yuan.

What was the relationship between these two?!

Although they had witnessed Su Youwei force away Xu Ming for Zhou Yuan in the Fallen City, how could the likes of Xu Ming compare to Zhao Mushen?

Behind Su Youwei, Xue Jingtao’s expression changed. He had just told Su Youwei an embellished account of what Zhou Yuan had done to him. He would never have expected that she would display her stance at this moment, even pitting herself against Zhao Mushen!

Xue Jingtao sternly cried out, “Junior sister Youwei! What are you doing? How can you offend Zhao Mushen for a mere Zhou Yuan? Don’t forget your status!”

Su Youwei cast an indifferent glance at him and said, “You’re too short-sighted. Zhao Mushen is our greatest enemy. Having Zhou Yuan around will be a big threat towards Zhao Mushen.”

Xue Jingtao laughed in anger. What kind of joke was this? Zhou Yuan could threaten Zhao Mushen? Who the hell did he think he was?!

“I’m the leader of the Zixiao Region. If you refuse to comply, withdraw immediately from the nine regions tournament,” Su Youwei said icily. There was a never-before-heard frostiness in her tone.

Xue Jingtao tightly clenched his fists as his face distorted somewhat. In the end, he grudgingly backed down and said, “Fine, go ahead and do what you want. I’ll be waiting to see how you’ll explain things when we return!”

Zhao Mushen’s eyes widened slightly. He tilted his head, looked in Su Youwei’s direction and slowly said, “Su Youwei, are you declaring war against me?”

Su Youwei replied, “If that’s what you think.”

Zhao Mushen was silent for a moment before saying, “Do you know that this isn’t the best place or time for us to fight?”

Su Youwei indifferently answered, “That’s why I hope you’ll be a little more rational.”

Zhao Mushen was speechless. He then softly chuckled and raised his hands in surrender. The Genesis Qi pressure from his body slowly dissipated. “Fine, it shall be as you wish. But Su Youwei, you cannot protect him.”

Su Youwei was someone he had to be wary of. Moreover, he could faintly sense another person secretly targeting him. In such a situation, even Zhao Mushen had no choice but to take a step back.

Su Youwei shook her head. “When he unblocks his ninth Divine Dwelling, you’ll perhaps have to think about whether you’ll be able to protect yourself.”

Zhao Mushen smiled and said, “So optimistic about him? Then I’ll happily wait and see.”

He did not look down upon Zhou Yuan nor underestimate the potential of his ninth Divine Dwelling. Zhao Mushen merely had complete confidence in himself.

As the two individuals withdrew their Genesis Qi pressure, the hostile atmosphere in the starry sky began to fade. Numerous individuals shook their heads in regret. It was a pity that a fight had not broken out.

Xu Ming displayed a superficial smile. “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan is such a lucky guy.”

His tone was filled with mockery and sarcasm.

Several gazes looked towards Zhou Yuan in amusement, barely able to conceal their envy. It felt really unacceptable for Su Youwei to protect him so fiercely!

The silver liquid covering Zhou Yuan’s arm receded slowly. He lifted his head, looked towards Xu Ming and said, “I’ll be taking whichever of the nine statues you pick.”

Although Zhao Mushen could be put aside for the time being, he could bully Xu Ming to vent his frustration.

I’ll leave the lion for later and kill this dog now!

Xu Ming’s expression turned sinisterly cold.

Uproar!
