Phoenix Cry Firmament - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Fourth-Ranked Warrior

Nighttime.

Mu Ruyue had just completed her cultivation and softly exhaled as she looked up at the bright moon outside the window, her eyes twinkling.

A night of cultivation had finally allowed her to break through to the fourth rank. Although a fourth-ranked warrior on this continent wasn’t considered powerful, at least she would be able to defend herself.

Three days flew by and the remaining contestants were ranked, some ending up disappointed and some happy. Of course, that unforeseen incident three days ago still delighted everyone who talked about it.

Everyone thought Mu Ting’er wouldn’t show up at the tournament, but on this day, she still came with Mu Qing.

Compared to her daintiness of the past, Mu Ting’er was a lot more reserved today. It was only when she looked at Mu Ruyue that her beautiful eyes revealed a piercing hatred.

Looking at Mu Ting’er’s appearance, Ye Tianfeng was distressed. He wanted to go and say something to her but ended up sitting down in the end. And Mu Ting’er, who had been expecting him to speak to her, felt chilled by his movements.

Three days ago, he had clearly promised to come and see her after the tournament, but that hadn’t happened.

At that thought, Mu Ting’er was full of bitterness. She didn’t expect that the man she loved wholeheartedly wouldn’t be there when she needed him the most.

But why couldn’t she let go of him even despite that?

Suddenly, a voice came from the front, causing Mu Ting’er to withdraw her gaze.

“Hey, guys, look, what’s Mu Ruyue of the Mu family planning to do?”

Mu Ruyue …

Upon hearing this name, a glimmer of hatred crossed Mu Ting’er’s eyes.

It was all this little b*tch’s fault! If it wasn’t for her, she would’ve been His Royal Highness’s Consort a long time ago. Why would she still have had to participate in this kind of tournament? If it wasn’t for this tournament, how could she possibly have made such a fool of herself?

This b*tch should’ve died a long time ago.

Anyway, this b*tch wasn’t loved by her father and mother, and even His Royal Highness loathed her. Since no one wanted her alive, why wasn’t she dead yet?

A person this unwanted had no business living in this world!

Sensing a glimpse of hatred from below, Mu Ruyue faintly swept her eyes around and paused for a moment on Mu Ting’er, then looked away without a trace.

“One-on-one fights are too boring. How many people have passed the first round in the past three days? We should all fight together; I don’t have that much time to fight one match at a time.”

The young woman’s challenge was like a thunderclap, entering everyone’s ears with vigor. They were shocked into staring incredulously at the silhouette of the stunning beauty on the tournament stage.

Taking on a crowd alone?

Who did she think she was? A mere third-ranked warrior dared to take on a crowd? Was she sure she was sane? A normal person wouldn’t invite such a challenge.

Not to mention a fourth-ranked warrior like Mu Ting’er, but the others alone could crush her with their numbers.

Mu Qing’s face swelled to the color of pig’s liver. He suppressed the urge to go and teach Mu Ruyue an unforgettable lesson and shouted angrily at her, “Rebellious girl, don’t be a disgrace and get down here!”

Wasn’t embarrassing herself enough? Which youth could possibly be as arrogant as her? That would’ve been fine if she had the skill, but she was courting death with her behavior.

Mu Ruyue’s brows raised. She glanced down at the furious Mu Qing and said, “You’ve already banished me from the Mu family, so who are you to order me around?”

“You…” The finger Mu Qing was pointing at Mu Ruyue trembled in fury. He really wished he could bring down this disobedient, rebellious girl. Suddenly, he decided he would wait with a fierce and furious grin. “All right, very good, then don’t feel sorry afterward!”
