Chapter 80: Ye Yuan's Severed Limb
In the chaos, Su Mo heard Ye Yuan's voice coming from outside.
She exclaimed with delight, "Ye Yuan! I'm here!"
The person fighting fiercely froze for an instant, then darted forward, reached her, and with a precise hand seized the wrist she had clung to on the wall!
Just as Ye Yuan was about to exert force to pull Su Mo away from here.
Zuo Xuan, having exhausted his last ounce of strength to swallow the Detox Pill, leapt and grabbed Su Mo's ankle.
Su Mo instinctively lifted her other foot to kick, trying to free her other hand to poison him.
Zuo Xuan quickly drew a vine‑wrapped cord from his waist, instantly binding Su Mo's both feet, and also seized the other hand she reached for his waist, holding it tightly!
Then, in a cold voice, he threatened Ye Yuan beyond the wall, "If you don't want her to die faster, let go at once!"
Ye Yuan, hearing his words, flung his weapon and prepared to confront him.
But Zuo Xuan, extremely cunning, raised his hand and scattered powder; Ye Yuan, caught off guard, inhaled a mouthful, and his figure flickered.
In desperation, Su Mo shouted, "Take the Detox Pill quickly!"
At this moment, Yue Ying and Lord Jian Yi were entangled by Jin Tong's men from Hou Shan.
That damn thing had long set the layout, sending people from outside to Hou Shan, while Ye Yuan left Jing Ming's squad at the front gate.
At this point, the fighting among everyone still drained some energy.
Yue Ying momentarily couldn't free himself; the pouch he had just fished from his waist was feinted by the opposing Beastmen and knocked to the ground!
Seeing Su Mo about to be taken again by Zuo Xuan, Ye Yuan restrained his last shred of reason, and his light‑blue pupils instantly turned deep blue.
Raising his hand, countless ice blades formed and shot toward Zuo Xuan,
shards of dazzling ice‑blue, in the twilight emitting a chilling radiance that seized the soul, each ice blade radiating an uncanny ice‑blue glow.
heading straight for Zuo Xuan's vital points!
In an instant, it seemed the surrounding air itself froze.
From behind came Lord Jian Yi's frantic shout, "His/Her Highness, you've gone mad!"
While poisoned, activating the Mermaid's lethal technique would cause the toxin to spread rapidly to the heart vessels.
His/Her Highness now is only a fourth‑tier mermaid Beastmen, unable to control the toxin's spread!
Ye Yuan at this moment could no longer worry about much; he only knew he could not let the person before him take Wife Master!
If Wife Master were taken back, danger would follow! He could not watch her be taken away right under his eyes!
Absolutely not!
Within that dazzling blue ice blade field, Ye Yuan leapt and reached out toward Su Mo.
Just as he thought he would finally catch Su Mo.
Zuo Xuan exhausted his internal force, "Bang"— with a sound, he completely dispelled the ice blades before him!
The next second, blood welled uncontrollably from his mouth corner; gritting his teeth against the twisting pain in his organs, he raised his long sword and slashed straight at Ye Yuan!
Gate Master ordered him to bring this woman to his side; today, even if he must exhaust his last ounce of strength, he will see it done at this moment!
"Careful!"
Accompanied by Su Mo's shout, Ye Yuan darted away, but the blade still landed on his left arm.
With a muffled crack of flesh separating, blood gushed out instantly, and a splash of it unexpectedly splattered onto Su Mo's skirt hem and shoes.
Ye Yuan let out an uncontrolled groan, staggered backward, his face pale as he stared at Su Mo.
In an instant, Su Mo's pupils widened uncontrollably, "Ye Yuan! Ye Yuan…"
She already regretted it; she shouldn't have called him just now!
She really shouldn't have called him!
In her mind came Xiao Jiu's tearful voice, "Host, what should I do? Little mermaid Highness… what to do…"
Su Mo struggled to rush toward him, but she could not break free from Zuo Xuan's clamp at all.
"Wife Master… I'm useless…"
The youth before her, his features unable to hide pain, looked at her with annoyance and self‑reproach.
As if regretting his failure to rescue her smoothly.
Su Mo's eyes reddened as she stared at him, shouting sharply, "Ye Yuan… hurry! Immediately, right now, here!"
Zuo Xuan, bearing the lingering sour‑sweet taste at his mouth corner, said, "You brought this on yourself, don't blame me!"
Dropping that line, he seized Su Mo and darted away.
Su Mo turned her head and shouted behind, "Ye Yuan! Quickly ice‑seal the severed limb, return to East Sea and wait for me! You must remember what I say! Wait for me!"
Lord Jian Yi finally entangled the nearby Beastmen, picked up the pouch Yue Ying dropped on the ground, and swooped to catch the weakened Ye Yuan.
"His/Her Highness!"
Yue Ying shouted at them, "Lord Jian Yi, quickly ice‑seal the remaining limb, give Ye Yuan the Detox Pill, and bring him back to East Sea!"
Jiao Li, at this moment unable to think further, swiftly followed Yue Ying's words, ice‑sealed the severed limb, gave him the Detox Pill, and then took Ye Yuan back.
"Lord Moonshadow, this area is yours to handle; in a moment I will have Snake Young Master dispatched from the front to assist!"
"Mm!"
Soon, Jiao Li, carrying Ye Yuan, vanished like a flash of light before their eyes.
Su Mo at this moment regained a trace of composure; recalling that scene, a fierce killing aura spread uncontrollably around her.
She summoned Xiao Jiu in her mind, and every syllable she uttered was laced with cold hatred: "Help me, I want him dead! This time he must die!"
Su Mo had never harbored such intense murderous intent toward anyone, but this time, she would watch Zuo Xuan die before her eyes!
Xiao Jiu solemnly nodded, "Mm! Host, you can use the Custom Dagger in the space and the Beast Tendon Bow. Combined, aim for the right moment, and you can finish with a single strike!"
In the blink of an eye, Su Mo was taken by Zuo Xuan to Jin Tong's side.
Outside the wall, Mo Xiao, Fei Yan, and Jing Ming already knew of Ye Yuan's arm being severed by Jin Tong's subordinate; their gazes toward Zuo Xuan were filled with intense killing intent.
Jin Tong stretched out his hand and seized Su Mo's throat, his murderous eyes flashing at her: "Miss Su, impressive skill—being restrained by me, yet you still manage to poison my subordinates! Where did your Poison come from?!"
He clearly remembered that on the first day he brought her back, he had already had someone restrain her!
He even, fearing she might use tricks, had someone change her attire from head to toe; where on earth did she obtain the Poison?
Su Mo's breathing was labored, her expression painful.
She opened her mouth and snorted, "Of course someone gave it to me; this matter, Gate Master should go ask your few proud subordinates! If they hadn't provided me with the ingredients, how could I have figured it out? Lord Zuo, what do you think?!"
"You!" Zuo Xuan glared angrily at Su Mo.
She truly is cunning!
Jin Tong tightened his grip on Su Mo's wrist: "How dare you sow discord! I see you truly won't shed a tear unless you see a coffin!"
Su Mo's expression grew even more painful!
A few people under the wall wore expressions of unabashed worry.
In the end Jin Tong didn't kill Su Mo, because keeping her alive was still useful to him now.
His subordinates had their internal force partially restrained, so a head‑on clash now would likely incur heavy losses!
Better to have North Wing first eliminate those Tiger Clan people for him, and when the supporting troops arrive later, then deal with the North Wing ones!
The people of the Tiger Tribe Tribe beneath the city wall knew nothing of who the suddenly appearing woman was.
Only Xuan Qing, standing outside the crowd, had seen everything clearly; from the moment he stood here he sensed something was off.
Jin Tong said to Mo Xiao on his side: "If you want her to live, first help me eliminate the Tiger Clan people. Otherwise…"
His hand gripping Su Mo's throat tightened slightly!
In an instant Su Mo's complexion turned ghastly.
Under the wall, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan, both tense, shouted: "Wife Master!"
Xuan Qing stood there, his eyes flickering, as Jin Tong had apparently abducted the Wife Master of the North Wing Beastmen?!
His gaze inevitably fell on the woman in Jin Tong's hand,
her appearance was plain, she wore a light‑colored silk dress whose hem was stained with mottled blood, looking rather disheveled.
She was clearly a female with no combat value, yet faced this scene she showed no fear.
She also exuded an aura that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth; where did she get such confidence?
