Chapter 4686: 5.0438 Taunts

When enemies meet, their eyes burn with fury.

Patriarch You saw the little poker face before him, and his expression instantly became extremely foul. The moment he saw this girl, he thought of his deceased eldest son, You Hui. That genius of the You family had been completely destroyed by this little girl.

The life lantern's diminished light that You Hui sent back before his death was somewhat blurry, so even now, he wasn't clear how his son had actually died. He only vaguely saw what appeared to be a dagger, repeatedly piercing You Hui's neck.

A long time had passed since the incident, so long that he... had almost forgotten this little poker face. Now, she suddenly appeared so vibrantly before him, making his eyes bloodshot with rage.

A woman who killed his son should pay with her life.

"Hall Master Mu is truly impressive," Qiao Mu said, her gaze coldly fixed on Patriarch You, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "I knew the person behind your You family couldn't be as simple as that lackey from the Pangu Clan."

Qiao Mu stared at You Batian with icy eyes, saying coldly, "When the Pangu Clan's Dog Brother came to you, you immediately played along, didn't you?"

"You could complete the task Mu Qingya gave you and also do the Pangu Clan a favor. This was a profitable deal for you."

"Too bad you didn't expect me to leave the underground arena alive. And even more, you didn't expect the son you sent out to be buried by my hand."

"Shut up!" You Batian roared in exasperation.

Yes, his biggest regret at this moment was allowing his son, You Hui, to fight this little poker face on the small arena of the Qianluo Underground Arena.

Yes, he had single-handedly caused You Hui's death; it was all due to his arrogance and stubbornness. This incredibly talented son had died at the hands of the poker face.

"How did my son die!"

"Him? That little beast, he naturally died from his own stupidity," Qiao Mu said coldly, taunting him. "After the drug he took to boost his cultivation by threefold began to wear off, most of the spiritual power in his body would vanish without a trace after two ke (quarters of an hour)."

You Batian's eyes instantly widened, a crimson tint in the whites of his eyes. "Qiao Mu!"

Qiao Mu's eyes narrowed. The Jinghong Dagger instantly flew out from her spiritual sea, piercing directly towards You Batian's neck.

"Clang!" You Batian reached out, attempting to grab the dagger.

But it was impossible to catch. The Jinghong Dagger was incredibly agile, stabbing his hand once, then circling around and flying back into Qiao Mu's hand.

You Batian's palm was as hard as an iron claw. Qiao Mu looked closely, realizing that You Batian's hand had indeed turned into an iron claw. It could extend and retract freely and was highly agile. The fingers were like thin, long iron branches.

Qiao Mu looked at him coldly. "You've integrated the claws of an Iron-Armored Rhinoceros?"

"So you're the little leader of those rhinoceros-hide people," Qiao Mu sneered. "Looking neither human nor ghost is truly laughable."

"You Batian, did you ever imagine you'd turn into such a monstrous sight?"

"Even if you successfully rescue Hall Master Mu in this state, she'd probably be too lazy to even look at you, right?" Qiao Mu said sarcastically. "It seems the Prefect Geng of Shuntian Prefecture is much more normal than you."

"You shut up!"

Qiao Mu lashed out a vine whip towards You Batian's arm.

Her eyes held a deep, icy glint, faintly flickering. "You're the one who should shut up."

"Snap!"
