Chapter 121 – The Yellow Sparrow Behind the Mantis Stalking the Cicada (2)

This constant onslaught of attacks made Ye Li freeze on the spot.

Meanwhile, Yan Xu was silent in the whole debacle. But then, his gaze shifted to Ye Mu to the side, as he spoke in a stern tone, “Come here. Don’t meddle in the matters of men. You’re still a child!”

Ye Mu’s expression could only be described as intensely dispirited. She glanced at the Ye family soldiers around her, with the same gloomy expression as hers, and softly sighed.

“Now that the outcome of the battle has been decided, can you…can you not kill us all?”

She thought, if Ye Li were truly to die, then at the very least, these people he had instigated to fight for him would not die in vain.

Yan Xu frowned. “I’ve never thought of slaughtering everyone of the Ye household.”

For Yan Xu, from the very beginning to the end, the only person he desired to kill was Ye Li.

At this moment, Ye Li, who had his head lowered the entire time, suddenly spoke with a coarse voice.

“Mu’er, you already knew about Mo Linyuan’s identity, didn’t you?” Although his tone was very low, when it entered Ye Mu’s ears, it felt as if the words weighed her little body down by a thousand pounds.

After everything, she still could not change the plot?

Ye Mu turned around to look at Ye Li’s weathered face covered in blood and nodded calmly; of course, she already knew.

In an instant, Ye Li’s gaze became extremely terrifying. “And because you were aware of his identity, you held back from cutting his tongue?”

Ye Mu pursed her lips. “Yes, that’s right.”

Ye Li gripped the handle of his blade in deathly grip. “So… you knew from the beginning that that his help was all a sham. that in truth, you were scheming against me with him. You knew the Map of the Imperial Army was a fake, and that I would lose in the inevitable end—you knew the fate of these people were to die?!”

Ye Mu frowned at this barrage of accusations, but without waiting for her to reply, Ye Li quickly interrupted.

“I was wondering why you were so protective of him—it turns out that you’re one of his men! The reason you hid by my side and humbled yourself to me was all for him, right? Placing my trust on you had been all for nothing; to think that you dared to betray me!”

As he roared, his inner Qi gushed out in a frenzy!

Ye Mu’s expression immediately became tense. In the face of a raging Ye Li, she could only refute, “I didn’t do it!”

But Ye Li was done listening to anything she had to say. Without a word, he thrusted the blade in his hand towards Ye Mu’s face!

“Quick, save her!”

Yan Xu was stunned and hurriedly ordered his men to help. Not only the people around Yan Xu rushed forward, but the 20 experts from before also used their full strength to block Ye Li’s attacks.

But the furious Ye Li’s martial prowess was even more astonishing than before! No matter how many people tried to stop him, his bell-like eyes only focused on Ye Mu’s lithe body, and he was getting closer and closer!

“I’ve been helping you all this time. Even if you want to kill me, I’ll only say the truth!” Ye Mu replied while trying to escape.

“How dare you lie to my face!”

Ye Li’s eyes were bloodshot as he fought one-on-one against thirty in a chaotic battle, furtively pressing closer towards where Ye Mu was.

“Since you already knew that he is the Crown Prince and that I was searching for him for a long time, how can you say you are helping me?”

After he finished speaking, the blade in his hand brought with it the smell of blood as it hacked down on her mercilessly; Ye Mu barely dodged the sharp curve of the blade. But as it brushed past her face by a margin, the hair on her back were instantly cut!

“You deserve to die!”

The more Ye Li spoke, the faster the blade in his hand rushed towards Ye Mu. Even if there were many people trying to block his attacks, Ye Li was simply too fast. Ye Mu didn’t even know how she was able to dodge attacks at such a speed.

“Stop!”

A youth’s voice suddenly sounded amidst the imminent carnage, and in the next second, the strongest expert beside Mo Linyuan suddenly appeared and struck Ye Li with his palm. With this, Ye Li and Ye Mu were finally separated from each other by a safe distance.

Seeing that Ye Mu was fine, Mo Linyuan finally calmed down.

“It was all my doing. If you want to settle a score, then do it with me!” With Mo Linyuan’s appearance, he shielded Ye Mu behind him defensively, looking at Ye Li with a challenging gaze.

“Ah, yes. It’s you…very good! It’s you I’ve been looking for!”
