Chapter 547: The Tampered Spatial Gate

Xia Fei’s mind rapidly turned. From the look on Mu Fuping’s face, though she called this short and thin elder Seventh Grandpa, this was no kind fellow. This was because Mu Fuping was slightly trembling and her eyes were stricken with fear.

According to what they had agreed on before, Yu Hua should have been in the vicinity so that he could charge out at the sign of any mishap.

Alas, Yu Hua was fighting someone else on the horizon and would not be able to come over any time soon. It was at this exact moment that this elder chose to abruptly appear. Xia Fei instantly understood that this was a scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

“Girl, your seventh grandpa needs you for something. Be a good girl and come with me,” Mu Qiubo smiled and said.

He turned over and glanced into the distance. Mu Qiubo did not have much time. On that end were two Great Law Emperors, Yu Hua and Mu Yuan. The moment they understood that this was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, Mu Qiubo would be in a dire predicament. Thus, he had to act quickly!

“Seal!”

A spatial barrier suddenly appeared around Xia Fei, enclosing him and Mu Fuping. A wave of light appeared in Mu Qiubo’s hand. He was preparing to use law force to take Mu Fuping away with him.

“Break!”

Two arms extended, two fists infused with the subversive force of the Law of Primal Chaos slamming into the barrier.

*Rumble!*

The spatial barrier shattered!

Mu Qiubo gasped in alarm. He had never imagined that Xia Fei would be able to break his spatial barrier.

Xia Fei shoved Mu Fuping by her waist, pushing her some several dozen meters away. Xia Fei also borrowed the inertia to fly into the air and sent out a heavy punch!

“Use the Spatial Gate and get out of here!” Xia Fei sternly said.

Mu Fuping was not a complete weakling, and her cultivation was that of a Law Sovereign. Xia Fei pushing her away like this would not do her any harm. On the contrary, it placed her closer to the Spatial Gate.

Fifteen seconds! Xia Fei was confident that he could hold down Mu Qiubo for fifteen seconds, giving Mu Fuping a chance to escape. If he could hold on for thirty seconds, then Yu Hua would definitely be able to get back and assist him!

He moved with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, his Wildstorm Fist was above Mu Qiubo, making straight for his head!

“Out of my way!” Mu Qiubo roared in fury, his arms thrusting out. The two waves of light intersected like curved blades and howled through the air!

“Crafty Approach!”

Someone, who could lure Yu Hua away, would surely have a substantial cultivation, and Xia Fei had no intention of fighting it out with this man. This punch had always been a feint!

As his body made a curved arc in the air, Xia Fei moved around to Mu Qiubo’s left side like an agile mudfish.

*Rumble!*

Four tornadoes swept out! It was as if Xia Fei had tossed out an explosion which was now tearing apart space.

“Useless!”

Mu Qiubo swung his left arm, aiming his palm at the spatial fissure that Xia Fei had unleashed.

Light erupted from his palm, like the beam fired by a laser!

*Bang!*

The spatial tears were torn to shreds! This was a tear technique against a tear technique, and Mu Qiubo’s attack was far stronger than Xia Fei had imagined!

This light tore through the fissure and shot straight at Xia Fei!

“Liquid War armor!”

Mercury-like liquid crawled up Xia Fei’s body and enclosed him.

*Rumble!*

The laser beam did not stop, blasting Xia Fei into the air. Because of the Liquid War armor, Xia Fei appeared like a ball of silver metal flying through the air.

“Hmph! Know your own limitations!”

Mu Qiubo squatted. No longer caring about Xia Fei as he flew off, he focused his attention back on Mu Fuping and prepared to seize her in one fell swoop!

While Mu Fuping had the cultivation, she had no experience fighting an enemy. Although she had Law Sovereign cultivation, in a real fight, she would be no match for Xia Fei, let alone the shrewd and ruthless Mu Qiubo.

Pew pew pew!

Just when Mu Qiubo’s arm was about to reach Mu Fuping’s back, Xia Fei began launching long-distance attacks, balls of light howling through the air, coming in at an angle to block Mu Qiubo’s path!

Of course, these were not Xia Fei’s attacks, but Furball’s!

It was impossible for Xia Fei to launch an attack in the short span of time available to him, but Furball could! He had been hiding in Xia Fei’s bosom this entire time, and when Xia Fei saw that Mu Fuping was about to be captured, he immediately ordered Furball to fire a salvo of energy balls to force Mu Qiubo back.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Xia Fei started running, accelerating toward Mu Fuping. He grabbed her with his left hand and threw her into the Spatial Gate!

This was an astonishing move. No one would throw a girl like a basketball, but Xia Fei had no time to worry about any risks. In any case, Mu Fuping cultivated law powers, so throwing her would not kill her.

*Ping!*

With a flick of his fingers, Xia Fei furtively shot out a small stone.

On the side of the Gate were several round gauges like clocks. These were used to set coordinates, with the Spatial Gate transporting the person to the coordinates indicated.

Mu Fuping was in front, with Xia Fei chasing right after Mu Fuping and Mu Qiubo right on Xia Fei’s tail, the three formed a straight line.

As Mu Fuping was tossed into the Spatial Gate, the stone struck one of the round gauges.

The gauge rapidly spanned. Where would it eventually stop?

“Crafty Approach!”

Just as he was about to run into the Spatial Gate, Xia Fei suddenly rose into the air. He wanted to vault over the gate!

This was an extremely creative move. Xia Fei first threw Mu Fuping inside the Spatial Gate, and then he messed with the coordinates; after which, he would use Crafty Approach to get around the gate. Meanwhile, Mu Qiubo, who was following right behind him, would end up running right into the Spatial Gate.

It was the same Spatial Gate, but Mu Qiubo would discover that he was ending up in a completely different place from Mu Fuping. By the time he realized what was going on, the Spatial Gate might have sent him straight into a black hole, utterly destroying him!

A crafty smile appeared on Xia Fei’s lips. Xia Fei was very smug. Mu Qiubo could keep up his chase, and only the gods knew where he would end up.

Suddenly, a steely hand gripped Xia Fei’s ankle, pulling him into the Spatial Gate!

Xia Fei’s face was stricken with fear. These were random coordinates! No one could say where one would end up being teleported!

Only now did he understand what it meant to say that no plan could keep up quickly enough to an adaptive situation.

He had thrown Mu Fuping into the Spatial Gate and then messed up the coordinates so that his foe would end up somewhere completely different.

Xia Fei had exercised his imagination to its utmost to develop this tactic!

It must be understood that all of this had taken place in the span of a few seconds. Even a bystander would not have had time to think it over, let alone develop and execute such a crafty plan.

Xia Fei had thought about it, done it, and subsequently fallen into his own trap!

Just when he was on the verge of success, Mu Qiubo grabbed his ankle and dragged him into the Spatial Gate together!

*Whoosh~*

Yu Hua and Mu Yuan had arrived at the Spatial Gate at almost the same time. Xia Fei had used the impressive Chain Blockade technique, which Yu Hua had spotted in the distance and gone toward. This was the signal Xia Fei and Yu Hua had agreed on. When this move was used, Yu Hua would immediately know that Xia Fei was in danger.

“What’s going on? Young miss? Where’s the young miss?” Mu Yuan stomped his feet and demanded. Mu Yuan’s frustration was obvious, having fallen for Mu Qiubo’s misdirection scheme.

Yu Hua’s complexion was ashen. He walked up to the Spatial Gate, his eyes fixed on the still spinning gauge.

This was not a good sign. Spatial Gates were intricately designed, and there was no telling where random coordinates would send a person. Anyone sent through the gate in this state would find death, nine chances out of ten!

‘Was it Xia Fei or Mu Fuping or the two of them together?’ Yu Hua mentally asked himself.

As his finger stopped the spinning gauge, Yu Hua seemed to age three years. If Xia Fei died after going through a tampered Spatial Gate, the Yu family would only lose a future powerful warrior. However, if Mu Fuping died, his clan would be facing a calamity! The fury of the Nine Great Clans was not something any mortal could endure!

“Eh? The gauge seemed to be spinning earlier,” Mu Yuan said in confusion.

“Oh, no! Young miss didn’t go through, did she?!”

Mu Yuan’s eyes were instantly streaked with blood! His hands seized his disheveled hair, trembling in pain and grief!

“Young miss… if something happens to the young miss, it’s not just me who must die! All one million people of your Yu family will compensate with your lives!”

Mu Yuan seemed to have turned into a completely different person, his expression fiendish as he spoke.

Yu Hua was so startled that he could not speak.

“Who are you?”

“That’s quite the big tone you’re talking with!”

Several Yu family’s warriors, who did not know the truth of the situation, rudely spoke. Mu Yuan immediately lunged out, grabbing the nearest warrior and tearing him apart!

“I’ll say it again! If something happens to the young miss, none of you shall even think about leaving this place alive!”

At this moment, the Spatial Gate suddenly activated!

A frantic figure came through. It was none other than the woman disguised as a man, Mu Fuping!

“Young miss!” Mu Yuan immediately rushed over and prostrated at Mu Fuping’s feet.

“Young miss, are you okay? You scared Old Yuan to death! Old Yuan deserves to die! For not taking good care of the young miss, I should die! I should die!”

Mu Yuan began slapping himself. These were real hits, with shattered teeth and blood flying out of his mouth!

Yu Hua was stunned, and he immediately felt like he understood something.

Mu Yuan was an esteemed Great Law Emperor!

Yu Hua had just exchanged blows with him, so he was keenly aware of his power, but upon seeing how Mu Fuping, a Great Law Emperor, had seemingly lost control of himself. Yu hua could tell that Mu Fuping’s status was even greater than what he had formerly speculated!

Mu Fuping stopped Mu Yuan and said, “You were following me?”

“I deserve death! I deserve death! It was Miss Qingping who had me follow the Young Miss!”

Mu Yuan had already beaten himself into a miserable state, and he was even mumbling about how he should die.

Yu Hua let out a deep sigh and walked over. Since Mu Fuping was safe, the Yu family had avoided disaster.

“Lady Mu, all is well so long as you are okay.”

Mu Fuping frowned and scanned the ground. She viciously asked, “Where’s Xia Fei? That man is too unreasonable! He actually threw me into the Spatial Gate like I was a ball! It’s good that the other side of the gate was Gloryrise City and not some dangerous place.”

Yu Hua was a very smart man and immediately understood what was going on.

“Xia Fei apparently went through the Spatial Gate, but I don’t know where he went,” Yu Hua said. “The Spatial Gate is watched by security cameras, so we can find out by viewing the footage.”

Mu Fuping was actually a rather good-tempered girl. It was just that Xia Fei had pushed his palm against her breasts when throwing her at the Spatial Gate, leaving her somewhat embarrassed. Moreover, he had done so with such strength that they were still sore, leading her to feel somewhat vexed.

Yu Hua played the security footage several times, and the scene became eerily still. That small stone was like the plaything of fate, pushing Xia Fei into a tampered Spatial Gate!

Mu Fuping went pale, tightly biting down on her lip.
