Chapter 106: The Bet Regarding Mo Fei
Liu Feijue, the Young Master of the Liu family, whose pride ran deep and who looked down on everyone, turned ashen with rage when his own words were thrown back at him. Snarling fiercely, he spat out, "You’re dead."
Suddenly, a blazing light illuminated the long street, leaving no dark corners untouched.
A figure, resembling a radiant Daybreak Sun, burst forward, engulfed in fierce flames, charging straight at Zhang Yang.
It was another of Liu Feijue’s men.
Zhang Yang didn’t even glance at him. His eyes remained locked on Liu Feijue as he threw a punch.
Seven divine powers merged.
Bang!
The brilliant light and fierce flames vanished instantly, and a body was sent flying over a hundred meters.
"Still just a bug," Zhang Yang remarked lightly.
Liu Feijue erupted in fury. "You despicable bug! I will kill you! You should kneel and accept your death instead of resisting. You foolish creature, do you really think you are strong? Even if everyone from the Vast Forest combined their strength, they wouldn’t be able to deal with me."
Provoked, Zhang Yang shouted back, "Liu Fei Bug, come down and die!"
"You deserve to die a thousand times!" Liu Feijue roared. He had never considered Zhang Yang a threat. This little clown, this ant, this country bumpkin dared to challenge him? Coldly, he declared, "I had planned to treat you like a dog, but you dared to bite your master. A filthy dog must be punished!"
"However, you are not even worthy of my attention. You are just a lowly country bumpkin. I, the Young Master, am far too noble to dirty my hands fighting someone like you."
Zhang Yang could clearly sense Liu Feijue’s mindset. He wasn’t afraid of a fight—he simply looked down on him completely.
Such a person was truly disgusting, thinking far too highly of himself.
"I actually want to slap you dead, but that would truly dirty my hands," Liu Feijue sneered. "I’ve heard that the two martial arts Lords from the Mo family have led their armies here. Here’s the deal: if you can withstand them, then I will deal with you. Tsk, tsk, I do love watching a country bumpkin being taught a lesson."
From the tavern, Kou Feiyan shouted, "Zhang Yang, your end is near! The armies of the Marquis of Pursuit Sun and the Lord of Loyalty and Courage will arrive at Mo City tonight. That will be your time of death."
Zhang Yang looked at them with scorn. When they couldn’t defeat him, they sought help from their elders. Was this the face of the so-called proud?
But to everyone’s surprise—including Liu Feijue, Kou Feiyan, and everyone present—Yi Ren Zui suddenly spoke up.
"Moonview Tower has just received information."
"The thirty thousand troops of the Marquis of Pursuit Sun were completely annihilated by Grand Elder Tang Zhuo from the Divine Forbidden Gate of the Vast Forest."
"The thirty thousand troops of the Lord of Loyalty and Courage were also completely wiped out by Grand Elder Lang Yaozu from the Howling Wolf Palace of the Vast Forest."
"The three great Boundless beings invited by the Mo family from the Daxia Imperial Capital were all exterminated by Palace Master Bing Yuyan from the Ice and Snow Divine Palace of the Vast Forest."
The abrupt news plunged the scene into silence.
Everyone struggled to grasp the implications.
The two martial arts Lords of the Mo family had perished before they could even achieve their mission—ambushed and completely wiped out by the forces from the Vast Forest?
"The Mo family is truly finished!"
"Incredible! The Vast Forest is so ferocious and domineering, intercepting and annihilating them!"
"It seems the only notable person left from the Mo family is Mo Fei, who is hidden in the imperial harem."
"If Mo Fei dies, the Mo family will be completely wiped out."
"Mo Fei cannot die. Apart from her personal strength, she is also from the Daxia royal family. The Vast Forest doesn’t have the capability to kill her."
"Indeed, as long as Mo Fei lives, the Mo family has a future. The Mo family will not be annihilated. Mo Fei cannot be killed."
The scene descended into turmoil.
The news had deeply agitated everyone.
Zhang Yang muttered to himself: The Underworld Assassin Organization should act now. With the Mo family’s army destroyed, this ferocious Mo Fei will have to show herself. Once she does, it will create an opportunity for the assassin organization to strike.
His transaction involved the broken Holy Arrow.
The assassin trade valued credibility. He didn’t believe the Underworld Assassin Organization would remain idle, so he decided to strike and drag this arrogant Young Master of Liu into the abyss.
Killing him would be simple.
But that would be too lenient.
This man, who had initially used him to break the Golden Dragon Shield’s Underworld Spirit Forbidden Law, had boasted of treating him like a dog, had later pressured him at Embrace Moon Tower, and now looked down on him. How delightful it would be to see him plummet from the clouds to the dirt.
Zhang Yang glanced up at Liu Feijue.
Upon hearing the news, Liu Feijue’s expression turned terrifyingly cold. Just moments ago, he had declared that Zhang Yang would be killed by the Mo family’s army, and now the Mo family’s army was annihilated. It was a severe slap in the face.
"What are you staring at, you bumpkin?" he still proclaimed arrogantly.
Zhang Yang replied, "Liu Fei Bug, how long do you think Mo Fei can survive?"
Liu Feijue was enraged. How dare this man repeatedly call him Liu Fei Bug! But Zhang Yang’s question made him raise an eyebrow. His thoughts churned before he sneered, “Bumpkin from the Vast Forest, you dare to stand on equal footing with me? Are you proposing a bet with me?”
"Let’s make a wager," Zhang Yang said.
"Hahaha, I was just considering a bet with you," Liu Feijue laughed, as the idea had only just crossed his mind. "If Mo Fei is not dead within a month, you will kneel and kowtow to me."
Zhang Yang responded, "If Mo Fei dies, you will kneel and kowtow to me."
Liu Feijue scoffed. "How could I possibly lose?"
"A wager must be fair. If you’re afraid, then forget it," Zhang Yang taunted.
"Afraid? Preposterous! Why would I fear you, a bumpkin? I accept your wager!"
Zhang Yang smiled.
Someone had finally fallen into his trap.
He declared loudly, "Let everyone inside and outside Moonview Tower bear witness! I, Zhang Yang, wager with Liu Feijue of the Liu family: if Mo Fei dies within a month, Liu Feijue will kneel and kowtow to me. If Mo Fei does not die within a month, I will kneel and kowtow to Liu Feijue. The wager is set!"
The crowd erupted with excitement.
This wager was exhilarating.
Liu Feijue mocked, "Foolish, lowly bumpkin, you are destined to lose."
He snapped his fingers.
A subordinate immediately stepped forward.
Liu Feijue commanded, "Send a message to Mo Fei in my name. Inform her that this Cang Mang Zhang Yang, who has obliterated the Mo family, intends to kill her within a month. If she agrees to remain within the palace for that time, I, as the Young Master of the Liu family, guarantee that I will personally capture Zhang Yang and deliver him to her."
The subordinate swiftly carried out his orders.
The crowd buzzed with shock.
Many were astonished by Liu Feijue’s maneuver—he had left Zhang Yang with no opportunities whatsoever.
It wasn’t even a question of whether Mo Fei would leave the palace. Even if she did, who could possibly kill her in the heart of the Daxia Imperial Capital?
That was the stronghold of the Daxia royal family.
Liu Feijue sneered. "Bumpkin, you never saw this coming, did you? With your pitiful intelligence, how could you come up with something so thorough?" He laughed heartily. "Did you really think you could contend with me? You don’t stand a chance! I don’t even need to lift a finger to make you suffer."
Zhang Yang simply pointed at the two corpses on the ground.
Liu Feijue’s smile vanished instantly. Coldly, he ordered, "Just two worthless pieces of trash. Dispose of them. Feed them to the dogs."
He didn’t regard those who died for him as real people at all.
Smirking, he added, "You only have a month left. Make the most of it." Then he burst into laughter. "I’m in high spirits today! Tonight, everyone at Moonview Tower drinks and feasts at my expense!"
A deafening cheer erupted.
Moonview Tower was notoriously expensive, and being able to eat and drink for free made many ecstatic.
Liu Feijue tilted his head toward Zhang Yang and sneered, "Why don’t you join us? Come and revel in the excitement—discuss how you will kowtow to me."
"Sure, I’d love to join the fun," Zhang Yang replied, fully intending to sit back and watch as Liu Feijue climbed higher and higher, only to fall from grace.
Kou Feiyan hadn’t left either—she, too, wanted to strike a devastating blow against Zhang Yang.
Meanwhile, Yi Ren Zui observed them with amusement. She was merely a spectator enjoying the show. But whose spectacle was it? She would have to wait until the end to find out.
