Chapter 1507 - 343: Tch, Who Are You to Insult Yaya?

Boom!

The boulders shattered, and smoke and dust rolled around. Suddenly, the place was filled with exclamations of surprise.

The members of the Vermilion Bird Guard anxiously watched the dust cloud, worried about the power of that last strike.

On the other side, Wang Baobao glanced at his own chest, then at Tuomu who had successfully launched a surprise attack, and remained silent.

There was no trace of joy on his face either, his expression was as deep as water.

At this moment, Tuomu dispelled the golden light around him, looked at the smoke and dust, eyes cold, with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The so-called owner of the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, that’s all he was, wasn’t he still successfully ambushed by me?

Thinking this, Tuomu’s face was full of contempt; daring to be distracted in battle, he deserved to be hit hard like this.

"Cough cough..."

Tuomu mused silently, when suddenly he heard a coughing sound coming from within the rolling smoke.

Tuomu’s expression slightly changed, how could he still stand up!

That strike just now was a killer move, and he could clearly feel that it should have broken his chest bone, maybe even his heart, yet even so, he could stand up?

How is this possible?

Thinking this, Tuomu’s gaze turned even colder, and his eyes were full of dread.

What sort of monster is this Chen Jiusi, is his physical strength really this strong?

Cough cough cough...

The coughing sounded again, and as the smoke and dust began to rapidly dissipate, Chen Jiusi was seen holding his chest, his face pale.

That strike indeed hit his vital point, it even struck directly at his chest, breaking his breastbone, causing his chest to cave in somewhat.

For others, such an injury would already be fatal, but it wasn’t that lethal for Chen Jiusi.

The Chang Chun Skill was circulating madly within him, constantly repairing the wound on his chest with unending Life Force.

At this moment, Chen Jie staggered to his feet, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale again.

However, after vomiting out that filthy blood, his expression seemed a little more relaxed.

Then he glanced at a big tree beside him that had been snapped in half, and leaned against the remaining stump, looking at Tuomu.

"Cough cough... who are you?"

Chen Jie asked, though he knew who Tuomu was, but he still asked to buy himself some time to heal.

Although the Chang Chun Skill is strong, it still needs a little time to heal.

Therefore, if he can buy some time, he will.

Tuomu, hearing Chen Jie’s question, glanced at him and then said, "Trying to buy time to heal?"

Chen Jie’s gaze slightly froze, and he said nothing, while Tuomu smirked, "Sure, since you want to chat, let’s chat a little. But before chatting, shouldn’t you introduce yourself first?"

"I’d like to see what kind of hero dares to steal the Commandery Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie coughed and said, "Haha, not quite a hero, but I’m Mianshui Chen Jiusi."

Tuomu asked, "What’s your origin?"

"Fisherman."

"Heh~"

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s answer, Tuomu’s face was full of disdainful laughter, "A fisherman, yet even a lowly person like you dares to seduce the Commandery Princess!"

Chen Jie squinted his eyes and said, "Haha, a fair lady is a gentleman’s desire, why can’t I pursue the Commandery Princess?"

"Hahaha... ’A fair lady is a gentleman’s desire,’ is that something a lowly person like you can say? What kind of status does the Commandery Princess have—she’s a phoenix up in the heavens, and you’re just a toad down here, thinking you can eat Phoenix Meat?"

"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous."

Tuomu said this with a face full of disdain. Coming from a noble background, he had always looked down on Han people, especially these lowly Han people.

In his eyes, these people were only fit to live with their family’s livestock and should wag their tails and plead for pity like dogs just to earn some pitiful food from them.

For such lowly people to dare seduce the Commandery Princess, they must have eaten the heart and gall of a bear and a leopard.

Thinking this, Tuomu looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "You really are quite bold."

Chen Jie, clutching his chest, said, "Haha, it’s not that I’m bold, but that your Emperor lacks charm. An old man also wants to marry a young woman? Just because he’s the Emperor, does that make him special!"

Tuomu’s face immediately changed drastically as he looked at Chen Jie and said, "You’re courting death."

Chen Jie laughed, "So what, you’re angry from embarrassment with the truth?"

"Angry from embarrassment? Haha, His Majesty is the most noble person in the world, not someone a lowly Han person like you can criticize."

"Chen Jiusi, you’re quite something, so bold as to mock His Majesty. I see you’re tired of living, not just you but also that Princess Xiangning, who’s fallen so low, doesn’t know her place, shameless to the point of consorting with a lowly person like you."

"I really don’t understand how the Ruyang King could raise such a disgraceful, shameless thing ruining the family name!"

Tuomu, angered by Chen Jie, even started insulting the Commandery Princess.

In his view, the Commandery Princess was also ruined—having eloped with her lover, even if she went back, would the Emperor spare her?

Since even the Emperor wouldn’t spare her, her Empress position was as good as gone.

Not being able to be the Empress, what respect is left for a mere Commandery Princess, allowing him to freely judge her as he pleases.

Additionally, he was also venting, since this escort mission was supposed to be perfect for him. Completing it would have been a major success, maybe even promoting his rank, at the very least, gaining enough experience to transition from a guard to an official, paving a bright future.

Now?

The Commandery Princess ran off with a lowly Han person, a devastating blow for him.

Going back now, simply being accused of failing in escorting her would be the least of his worries.
