Phoenix Cry Firmament

Chapter 45: One against a crowd (1)

Mu Ruyue laughed darkly. “I won’t regret it even if you regret it. Let Mu Ting’er come up too. Come at me everyone, so I can go back to sleep after the fight.”

Wildly arrogant and outrageous.

For a while, rage burned in the heads of those youngsters in the prime of their youth. They itched to go up there immediately and teach her a lesson so that this frog at the bottom of the well would know that no matter how strong she was, there would always be someone stronger than her.

“Hmph.” Ye Tianfeng snorted coldly and looked at Mu Ruyue with disgust. He was well aware that this woman was trying to attract his attention with this method. He really couldn’t count how many tricks this girl had pulled over the years just to catch his attention.

This one was certainly no exception.

Except that he was rather willing to give her a chance to make a fool of herself…

With a slight curl at the corner of his lips, Ye Tianfeng waved his folding fan and sneered. “Since that’s your wish, I will fulfill it. This tournament has always been one-on-one, but let’s have Mu Ruyue fight against 20 contestants.”

One against a crowd was simply a sure-fire way to lose.

Tian Yuan frowned and eventually sighed. It was much better to just kill this young girl’s pride. Being too cocky sometimes wouldn’t do anyone good.

On this continent, arrogant people who didn’t have skill to back themselves up would always pay bitterly.

After Ye Tianfeng’s approval, those youths, who were already enraged by Mu Ruyue’s challenge, all rubbed their fists as if looking forward to beating the sh*t out of her.

“Mu Ruyue!” Mu Ting’er gritted her teeth and glared viciously at the young girl on the tournament stage. After witnessing the girl’s utter disregard, she let out a cold grunt in her heart. Without saying a word, she tapped her toes and leaped onto the stage.

Seeing Mu Ting’er’s entrance, the others exchanged looks and also took the stage one after the other.

Onstage, the atmosphere was tense.

Li Lu in the crowd secretly started sweating for Mu Ruyue. She was only a third-ranked warrior, so how could she face so many opponents at once? What’s more, among them was Mu Ting’er, who was a fourth-ranked warrior.

Then someone finally made the first move…

A flick of a silver whip slithered around Mu Ruyue like a snake. Mu Ruyue was quick-eyed and quickly lifted a foot to kick the whip away then side-stepped. A fierce punch swung from the side at the same time and she punched the youth in front of her hard on the chest.

The youth took two steps back and rushed back into the fray with a cry.

Mu Ruyue’s attacks enraged the group and their strokes became more and more ruthless. Their punches and kicks also accelerated, as if they wanted to crush her to death with their strength in numbers.

However, the more people looked at the mob, the more they felt something was fishy…

“Is Mu Ruyue really a third-ranked warrior?”

“That’s not right; that aura clearly belongs to a fourth-ranked warrior. Did she break through in the past three days?”

A 15-year-old fourth-ranked warrior wasn’t surprising at all. After all, Mu Ting’er had reached the fourth rank at only 14. But what about a fourth-ranked warrior who was still unscathed under siege from so many people?

Of course, if they knew that Mu Ruyue had only gone from the first to the fourth rank within three months, their eyes would probably pop out in shock, right? What kind of genius was she? She was clearly a demon!

“Swish!”

Ye Tianfeng couldn’t help but stand up, his gaze deadly fixated on Mu Ruyue.

A fourth-ranked warrior? When did she break through to the fourth rank? If Mu Ting’er hadn’t taken an Azure Essence Pill, she probably wouldn’t have been able to break through to the fourth rank overnight. Could it be that this woman was more talented than Mu Ting’er?

At that moment, Ye Tianfeng realized he had overlooked one thing.
