Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 811 - 61: She Is My Prey

The dark muzzle of the cannon was aimed at Shalman, exuding a sinister aura of death.

Shalman didn’t expect Ye Yan Yu to act so suddenly, and with the Xuan Crystal Cannon right from the start.

The Xuan Crystal Cannon, the most ferocious and bloody weapon on the continent in nearly a hundred years, is unlike the swords and the like used in close combat, and its destructive power far exceeds that of crossbows and bows used for long-range attacks.

A skilled artilleryman could use a Xuan Crystal Cannon to kill dozens of Dark Earth experts, even holding its own against Seventh- and Eighth-Rank Dark Beasts.

Ye Yan Yu was representing the Ruison Federation in the competition, and the Xuan Crystal Cannon in her hand was the latest model on the continent, with astonishing destructive power.

With the muzzle of the Xuan Crystal Cannon directed at her, Shalman felt her blood freezing in her veins.

Her beautiful eyes widened in anger, and her hands clenched tightly into fists.

The scene suddenly turned tense.

Hu Li, as the captain of the Sparrow Team, had a look of amusement on her face, watching from the side and not stepping in to stop it.

With the Xuan Crystal Cannon effectively intimidating Shalman, Ye Yan Yu’s eyebrows and eyes were arrogant and smug: "What, afraid to insult me now, you cowardly bitch? Watch as I blast your face apart today."

She stared jealously at Shalman’s charming and lovely face, imagining it blown into a bloody mess.

Yue Jinghua frowned, "Ye Yan Yu, do you dare to cause trouble in Four Symbols City?"

There was a strict prohibition against armed conflict in the city, and Ye Yan Yu’s actions were a blatant violation of the city’s rules, which would force her to withdraw from the Xuyang Trial.

"How can I compare to trash like you? Rest assured, the wise City Lord Changsun will make a decision. Even if you’re a mere duty soldier unfit for the battlefield, I can kill you as I wish. If you find it unbearable, I’ll kill you too!" Ye Yan Yu sneered at the two, threatening while shifting the direction of the Xuan Crystal Cannon towards Yue Jinghua. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Jinghua, forget it, I..." Shalman knew today’s incident was because of her and didn’t want to drag Yue Jinghua down.

"Forget it? There’s no way I’m agreeing to that. If you want me to spare you, both of you must kneel at my feet and apologize," Ye Yan Yu demanded arrogantly, her face particularly repulsive.

She slowly shifted the cold Xuan Crystal Cannon towards Yue Jinghua’s head, her face full of a sinister smile.

"It’s you who should kneel," a voice colder than the Xuan Crystal Cannon made Ye Yan Yu’s smile freeze, as a sharp pain shot through her left shoulder. The pain came so quickly that Ye Yan Yu had no time to react before her body was hurled like a sack, landing on the ground in a sorry state.

Blood flowed out profusely, and the new model Xuan Crystal Cannon in her hand also fell to the ground.

Hu Li’s mouth was slightly agape, her expression strange, looking at the people standing behind Ye Yan Yu, "Fa Xiaoyi, it’s you. You have a lot of nerve to break the city’s rules and act without permission."

Hu Li was originally just there for entertainment, having little goodwill towards either Yue Jinghua or Ye Yan Yu, hoping the foolish Human Race would fight fiercely enough to both suffer.

But Hu Li didn’t expect that it would be him who intervened!

Ye Yan Yu felt excruciating shoulder blade pain, and when she turned back to check on her shoulder, her scream of agony made the people in the temporary cottage rush out.

Her shoulder blade was gone, leaving only a horrifying blood hole, where blood spurted out like a fountain. Her screams alarmed people in the temporary lodging, who poured out in numbers.

The once-quiet temporary lodging suddenly filled with people.

Helian Sheng and Yu Mubo also rushed out.

Upon seeing Ye Yan Yu’s condition, their faces turned grave, as Yu Mubo roared angrily, wanting to confront Fa Xiaoyi.

Yue Jinghua and Shalman were surprised, not expecting Fa Xiaoyi... or rather Fa Xiaoyi’s people to intervene.

The new Monarch of Shang Kingdom, Fa Xiaoyi, along with fellow Martial Arts Team members, stood nearby, looking disdainfully at Ye Yan Yu rolling on the ground.

Someone in the Martial Arts Team held a weapon similar to a Xuan Crystal Cannon, but much more compact than a Xuan Crystal Cannon.

"I will kill him, Yan Yu’s shoulder... Brother Helian, Yan Yu is practically crippled now," Yu Mubo’s tiger eyes filled with tears, as Ye Yan Yu was his fiancée, her shoulder blade completely shattered.

Even though she was already a Small Achievement of Dark Heavenly expert, under such circumstances, she was now like a cripple.

"How could you see the King scheming against her? Does she even deserve it?" Fa Xiaoyi, despite inheriting the Shang Kingdom’s lineage, hadn’t been crowned Emperor, so he still referred to himself as the King.

Yu Mubo choked on his words, Helian Sheng glanced at the man beside Fa Xiaoyi who acted, his expression indifferent, clearly having communicated with Fa Xiaoyi beforehand.

Helian Sheng recognized the weapon used by the assailant, his expression grew even graver, drawing Yue Jinghua’s attention to the weapon.

It was a weapon similar to a Xuan Crystal Cannon but much more compact, resembling a modern handgun, firing ammunition made from Seventh-Rank Dark Beast Dark Pills, which had directly pierced Ye Yan Yu’s shoulder.

Is this the new weapon of Shang Kingdom?

Yue Jinghua suspiciously looked at the inscrutable Fa Xiaoyi.

Even if Fa Xiaoyi hadn’t intervened, Yue Jinghua had her own ways to subdue Ye Yan Yu, but she didn’t want to violate the city’s rules.

Fa Xiaoyi certainly took advantage of others to act, while remaining uninvolved himself.

That guy was truly heartless.

Hu Li’s expression changed momentarily before she returned to her alluring smile, stepping forward to help up Ye Yan Yu.

The City Lord Changsun soon came with people and took away the assailant.

Helian Sheng and others stood stiffly for a moment, casting warning glances at Fa Xiaoyi and his group.

Zong Shaoqing glanced meaningfully at Yue Jinghua, with a hint of disapproval between his brows.

Yue Jinghua pursed her lips, pulled on Shalman, and turned to leave, unaware that Fa Xiaoyi would speak again.

"Yue Jinghua, you are the King’s prey," Fa Xiaoyi said coldly: "No one can touch you before I have faced you."

This domineering declaration left those present frozen for a moment; at first, it sounded like a challenge, but upon further reflection, it seemed strange, as if...

Fa Xiaoyi thought: This woman, how can she be so ungrateful when I lost a subordinate for her sake, and she would not even say thank you.

In the crowd, Zong Shaoqing’s gaze became more profound.

Yue Jinghua rolled her eyes, muttering unlucky, she snorted coldly, turned back to pick up the Xuan Crystal Cannon Ye Yan Yu had dropped, and, with a swift move of her slender fingers, it became a lump of metal as if it was made of paper: "Prince Fa, then let us wait and see who is whose prey."

Zong Shaoqing’s expression relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Fa Xiaoyi’s face darkened so much it seemed ink could drip from it.
