The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 739: Mu Qingcheng’s Questioning
"Damn it, is this woman a monster?"
Mariku, who had just returned to the ocean’s surface, looked at Mu Qingcheng and said coldly.
Just now, he had dived into the sea.
However, it was also because he entered the sea that he realized how powerful Mu Qingcheng truly was.
Her ice had actually frozen the deep sea.
If it weren’t for his fast reflexes, he would have been doomed by now.
"Did you actually manage to escape?"
Mu Qingcheng said calmly.
However, it was precisely her calmness that made the hair on Mariku’s body stand on end.
"Have you thought about how you’re going to explain to me?"
Mu Qingcheng turned her head and asked Yang Yan with a smiling face.
"Uh? Well..."
Hearing Mu Qingcheng’s words, sweat began to form on Yang Yan’s forehead.
Compared to explaining to Mu Qingcheng why he ran to the United States, Yang Yan would rather fight those two guys.
"If you haven’t thought it through, then you’d better hurry up, okay? I’m about to finish over here."
Mu Qingcheng smiled like a little fox.
Hearing this, the expression of Mariku beside them turned cold.
He shouted sternly:
"Do you really think you have me cornered? Just an ice ability user, do you really think I can’t kill you?"
Mu Qingcheng ignored Mariku’s words. She glanced at Yang Yan and then turned to face Mariku, and her entire body began to float.
As soon as her feet left the ice surface, the ice beneath her started rushing toward her feet.
In no time, the entire ice layer was being absorbed into her body through her feet.
"Damn! What’s gotten into Qingcheng today? Why is she so serious? I’m doomed."
Yang Yan looked at Mu Qingcheng, a hint of worry showing on his face.
"Mariku, let’s retreat first! This woman is unusually strong, she’s definitely a titled powerhouse."
"Moreover, among the titled powerhouses, she’s one of the very best."
The man in the purple robe shouted loudly.
As the battle began, he had already distanced himself from the range that the battle might affect, hovering in mid-air.
"Leave now? What will happen to my reputation?"
"If I run away in disgrace because of a woman, wouldn’t those guys laugh to death?"
"Besides, since this woman wants to fight, I’ll kill her here."
Mariku said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he plunged his hands into the seawater that no longer had ice.
Because of his hands plunging in, the sea once again became tumultuous.
It seemed he intended to confront Mu Qingcheng head-on.
"Idiot!"
Yang Yan couldn’t help but comment on Mariku’s actions.
"There is nothing in this world that the sea cannot destroy!"
"Not to mention you are just a woman; even those modern cities are nothing in the face of a tsunami."
"Today, prepare to be buried in the sea!"
Mariku shouted loudly.
Seeing Mariku had become hysterical and not listening to anything, the purple-robed man hesitated for a moment, then his form began to gradually fade.
"Die, tsunami."
Mariku roared in anger.
Immediately, the already towering waves became violently turbulent.
Rumble!
Accompanied by the sound of violent collisions, huge waves began to appear on the sea surface, obscuring the skies.
As time passed, the waves transformed into massive tides.
"Freeze all within the world."
Seeing the sea surface continuously rising, Mu Qingcheng wielded her longsword and made her move.
A white ice column shot out from the longsword in her hand, directly piercing into the sea.
"Crack, crack..."
With a series of light cracking sounds, the sea began to freeze rapidly.
However, unlike before, this time the freezing speed was faster and the extent deeper.
It’s fair to say that the entire sea was frozen in an instant.
And frozen along with it was Mariku.
"Wow, when was the last time I saw Mu Qingcheng get angry?"
"What’s with this woman? Who pissed her off?"
Yang Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered softly.
The battle ended quickly, basically with just two moves from Mu Qingcheng, and it was over.
However, when the battle concluded, the other purple-robed man had completely disappeared.
Acting as if he didn’t notice, Yang Yan walked up to the frozen Mariku and observed him.
"Do you think I can search his soul? After all, this guy is a titled powerhouse too."
Yang Yan glanced at Mariku and turned to Mu Qingcheng.
"That’s for you to decide." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Mu Qingcheng chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly:
"You’d better explain to me why you left just like that."
"The last time you left us, you said you were going back to Huaxia to refine your heart."
"Your reason was that your power was growing too fast, and you feared you’d implicate us."
"So what’s your intention this time?"
Seeing Mu Qingcheng’s meaningful smile, Yang Yan was taken aback.
He knew very well that if Mu Qingcheng were shouting at him, there might be room for negotiation.
But her current calmness only proved that she was genuinely angry.
"You should understand that we are your Ten Swords. Even though you’ve never treated us as subordinates."
"But you have to realize the position you hold in our hearts."
"You left without a word, not even a farewell. Are you abandoning us, the Ten Swords?"
Mu Qingcheng’s eyes glistened with tears, her gaze filled with resentment.
"That’s impossible! I’ve never had such thoughts!"
Hearing Mu Qingcheng’s words, Yang Yan hurriedly said.
"Then why do you keep avoiding us?"
Mu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, staring intensely into Yang Yan’s eyes:
"Jinghong Longsword and Frost Heaven aside, since they’re out on missions."
"But what about the rest of us? Do you really dislike us that much?"
"How could that be!"
Yang Yan quickly tried to explain:
"Knowing you all is a blessing from the heavens, so how could I ever resent you?"
Mu Qingcheng immediately pursued:
"Then why do you keep sneaking off by yourself, without even a word?"
Seeing Mu Qingcheng relentlessly pursuing this topic, Yang Yan’s cheek twitched slightly.
Yet, clearly leaving the question unanswered was impossible.
However, he dared not tell Mu Qingcheng that he just wanted to slack off and enjoy some leisure.
For a moment, he truly didn’t know what to say.
