3386 Slapped in the Face

Following a thunderous explosion, Mu Yuanyuan's body was sent flying backward by the Exploding Fire Talisman. She landed with a "thud" on the edge of the martial arts stage, half of her body hanging over the side. A large amount of fresh blood gushed from her mouth, clearly indicating she was severely injured.

"Good!" At this moment, someone suddenly cheered, clapping their hands together to produce a loud applause.

The assembled guests exchanged glances, all turning their attention to Old Zhong of the Qi family. This fellow actually dared to openly slap the Mu family's face and shout out such a loud "Good!" word. Indeed, as that "Good!" word fell, all the Mu family members, including the Old Patriarch, instantly changed their expressions. All the Mu family disciples glared angrily at the old man. Some hot-blooded youths even jumped up from their seats, cursing, "What's so good about it, you old geezer?"

Old Zhong, unfazed, narrowed his eyes with a half-smile, half-sneer, and said with a chuckle, "Ah, my apologies, my apologies. I was praising our young master's skillful throw of this Exploding Fire Talisman."

"I simply didn't consider the feelings of those present. Haha, hahaha." Old Zhong laughed as he spoke, his taunting words enraging the entire Mu family, making their chests ache.

Qi Fang stood handsomely on the martial arts stage, hands behind his back, posing like a talisman grandmaster. "Everyone, I hope you're not trying to be perfunctory with me. Sending a woman to compete with me, isn't that a bit insulting to me, Qi Fang?"

Mu Lixiang had already rushed to the edge of the martial arts stage with others, reaching out to help Mu Yuanyuan, who was half-hanging off the stage. A bitter smile appeared on Mu Yuanyuan's lips as she smiled at Mu Lixiang and managed to say "I'm fine" before coughing up another mouthful of blood. It was clear that the Exploding Fire Talisman, which had detonated at close range, had injured her internal organs.

"Yuanyuan!" Mu Lixiang almost burst into tears. Yuanyuan looked too terrifying right now, her small face pale and greenish, as if she would breathe her last any moment. The blood from her mouth and nose wouldn't stop.

Mu Jingrui also rushed over at this moment, taking out a healing elixir for Mu Yuanyuan to take. He then turned his head, his eyes blazing with anger, and glared at Qi Fang. "Your attack was too heavy! How can a sparring match injure someone like this?"

"My apologies, my apologies," Qi Fang quickly explained with a smile, "It was my fault for losing my sense of proportion. I have a healing pill here. I hope Miss will feel a little better after taking it."

Mu Lixiang saw the despicable man's smiling face as he offered a murky black pill. Her face instantly flushed with rage, and she slapped Qi Fang's hand. "Who wants your pill? Get lost!"

Old Zhong's face immediately darkened. He spoke sarcastically, "What, is the Mu family a sore loser? Did you get angry and lose your temper at our young master after losing?" Without waiting for Mu Lixiang to retort furiously, Old Zhong interrupted her and continued, "In a martial arts competition, there's always the issue of how heavy or light one's hand is. Our young master didn't know your Miss was so frail; how could he have predicted that a mere Exploding Fire Talisman could injure someone to this extent?"

"If you had told us earlier that this Miss was so delicate and weak, we wouldn't have fought her!" His barrage of words left the Mu family disciples' faces alternating between green, white, and red. Mu Jingrui also felt a surge of indignation stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down, making him extremely uncomfortable.
