Chapter 283 – We Are Talking, Don't Bark

In an instant, the murderous aura that filled the sky and vanished in the blink of an eye not only raised goosebumps on everyone’s skin but also seemed to forcibly tear apart all gazes.

All because a strand of Sword Light quietly emerged, silently slicing through the pitch-black night.

“Ah…” A sudden scream pierced the scene: “My hand! Damn it!!”

At the same time, Yun Mengshu only then realized what had happened, inevitably widening her dazed phoenix eyes.

She saw the man who had been getting handsy earlier now enveloped in a mist of blood, spraying in all directions. At a glance, this vivid scene was a hauntingly terrifying memory.

“You’re still in the prime of your youth. If you seek death over such a trivial matter, you’d be letting those who wish to harm you off too easily!” Ye Kuang said indifferently, sharply sheathing his sword and then standing with his sword behind his back. He continued, “Remember, never give up your one and only chance at life until the very last moment.”

If Yun Mengshu could ask herself at this moment: Am I excited?

How could she not be excited!

Does it ache her heart?

Yun Mengshu found it hard to suppress her mixed emotions, a delicate smile spreading across her pretty face. But as she smiled, her delicate frame couldn’t help trembling inexplicably.

Yet it was undeniable—these were tears of joy!

Seeing this, Ye Kuang then turned around, glanced at the beauty before him, and his gaze suddenly became flickering and uncertain.

Recalling the awkwardness of their first encounter, which might have included some accidental factors, he couldn’t help feeling strangely moved by the several times he had come to her rescue.

For a moment, the emotions of the crowd on the scene varied greatly.

Where some were joyful, others were worried; where some were angry, others were terrified.

Yun Mengshu: “You brat, you damn bastard, where the hell were you earlier?”

As she spoke, she was both laughing and crying, tears streaming down as she scolded: “Do you know I almost had my purity defiled by these scum while searching for you? Do you know what that would have meant to me?”

Ye Kuang: “…”

Yun Mengshu: “Say something! Are you fucking mute?”

Ye Kuang: “…”

Yun Mengshu: “You damn bastard, I… I must have been blind to nearly suffer such a loss for a scoundrel like you.”

Ye Kuang: “…”

For a while, Yun Mengshu grew more and more agitated as she spoke, finally erupting into a furious rant: “You bastard, you’re not even human! Where were you when I was being humiliated repeatedly? Where the hell were you? Let me tell you, if I were to perish, this world would lose one exquisite beauty, and there’d be one more bachelor in the world!”

Ye Kuang: “…”

To be honest, upon hearing this, he wanted to retort immediately: What does it matter to me whether you live or die, whether you’re angry or not?

But these words, on the tip of his tongue, how could he possibly say them out loud?

He saw Yun Mengshu crying, her face streaked with tears, looking utterly pitiable.

Instead, seeing that Ye Kuang showed no reaction, she stamped her feet in fury and snarled: “Are you dead? I… I’m here pouring my heart out with tears, and you’re just standing there with a bitter face.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang finally couldn’t take it anymore and snapped angrily: “I say, Eldest Senior Sister, are you mistaken? I came here to save you, not to listen to your grievances and complaints.”

And as these words were spoken, the outcome was predictable.Yun Mengshu was absolutely livid, her chest heaving uncontrollably as she finally couldn’t restrain her fury and roared, “None of your business! Whether I live or die is none of your damn concern! Get lost, get lost, get lost…”

As this scene fell into Ye Kuang’s eyes, it left him caught between laughter and tears. He questioned himself inwardly: Throughout history, what kind of man would bother arguing with an unreasonable woman?

Especially someone as hot-blooded as him—he soon grew equally angry: “You woman are simply being unreasonable! Had I known this would happen, I would’ve waited longer before showing up to save you!”

“What?” Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Yun Mengshu stared at him in utter disbelief and snapped, “Wu Kuang! So you’ve been watching all along? You’re nothing but a beast!”

No sooner had she spoken than she broke down in tears, sobbing, “You damned bastard! I… I won’t let you get away with this!”

Unbeknownst to them, the dozen or so Demon Sect disciples on the scene had forcefully restrained the one-armed man.

“Wahhh, big brother, why are you covering my mouth? Hurry, avenge me!”

“Second brother, keep your voice down! That guy… oh no, he’s looking over here.”

“Damn it! I’ll slice you into a thousand pieces to vent the pain of my severed arm!!”

At these words, the dozen or so present couldn’t help but wear expressions as if their parents had just died.

Seeing this, the pent-up fury in Ye Kuang’s heart finally erupted.

“I almost forgot there’s still a bunch of trash here. Damn it! It’s all because of you lot that I got scolded. Don’t you know the rule about not barking like dogs when others are talking?”

As he spoke, he couldn’t conceal his murderous intent, snarling, “That could get you killed!”

Under the enchanting night sky, bathed in the bright moonlight, the blade of his sword reflected an inexplicably chilling gleam.

“Young hero, please hear me out—this is all a misunderstanding.”

“Big brother, what are you saying? That brat chopped off my hand! If I don’t seek revenge, I’m not human!”

“Second brother, shut up! Do you want all of us to die here…?”

Ye Kuang paid no heed to their pleas. Instead, he coldly pointed at each person present, counting, “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten…”

Reaching the end, he sighed with slight boredom and said, “Eleven in total. Seven at the Innate realm, and the other four look like worthless trash too!”

What?

Truly, when it came to arrogance, who could compare to Ye Kuang?

“Brat, we had no intention of entangling with you further, but your words leave us no choice but to draw our swords!””

“Big brother, instead of wasting words, let’s just fight!”

Whoosh!

But who could have expected Ye Kuang to move at the sound, transforming into a ghostly figure—striking without the slightest hesitation.

Before everyone’s eyes, he brutally stomped on the one-armed man’s chest.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

For a moment, the collective gasps of shock formed a continuous chorus.

The reason for this was Ye Kuang’s speed—so fast it was utterly despair-inducing.

“Who did you say you were going to fight?” Ye Kuang asked.

“I meant you! If you want to kill me, then kill me! Why humiliate me like this?”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang suddenly broke into a smile.But then the laughter grew increasingly wild before abruptly cutting off, followed by a cold declaration: “You’ve got some real nerve. My rage had nowhere to vent, and you just had to pour oil on the fire. I must admit, your audacity is something even I can’t match.”

“Fuck your mo— Ah…”

In that instant, as Ye Kuang withdrew his right foot, he didn’t even bother to glance at the lifeless figure lying beside it.

The scene unfolded so swiftly that it clearly caught everyone by surprise.
