Chapter 653: An eye for an eye, satisfying!
Wu Qiuyun, who was initially hesitant, saw Mu CD taking action and, with gritted teeth, charged forward, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks on Mo Yanhong.
Perhaps, by sparing Mo Yanhong now, the Wu Family could still mend relations with the Mo Family, but when the day came, could Wu Qiuyun really stay out of it? The events that unfolded in the Exotic Beast Valley replayed before his eyes, and Wu Qiuyun knew that if he actually did that, he would never be at peace for the rest of his life.
As a person, all one can aspire to do is live without regrets in the eyes of heaven and earth. Even if I were to be expelled from the Wu Family, so what!
Mu Cheng too cast aside his blood-stained longsword and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks at Mo Yanhong.
With no regard for restraint, both men’s attacks were merciless. Soon, the courtyard echoed with the pitiful cries of Mo Yanhong calling for his father and mother.
The few guards exchanged looks, but seeing their young master not daring to fight back and not giving them orders to intervene, of course, they didn’t dare to act. They could only look desperately towards Dai Songling for guidance.
Unfortunately, Dai Songling was so severely injured that he couldn’t even crawl up, let alone save Mo Yanhong. He was powerless to do anything.
So, the guards watched their young master get beaten like a dog, tumbling across the ground, and none dared to lift a finger.
"These young lads really do hit hard," the bystanders murmured, taking a cold breath as they watched the relentless beating—this was the only beloved son of the Mo Family Patriarch from the Capital, yet these two showed no mercy in their attack.
No wonder Mu Hanyan has a bad reputation; this style of repaying tooth for tooth and eye for eye is indeed sufficiently ruthless and ferocious, truly befitting his title as Heishi City’s number one playboy.
As much as they reflected on the situation, the sight of the Mo Family’s young master being beaten like a dog still roused the crowd’s blood. Cheers and shouts of approval rang out from all around.
Even the inn’s shopkeeper, caught up in the atmosphere, picked up a wooden bat and ran over, smashing it down ruthlessly several times on Mo Yanhong’s body.
"Please, I beg you, spare me, I’ll never dare again," Mo Yanhong, unable to withstand the pain, broke down and knelt on the ground, desperately pleading while shielding his head.
"So easily cowed, weren’t you quite arrogant just earlier? And now so quickly on your knees, begging for mercy."
"To think you come from one of the Eight Great Families of the Capital. The Mo Family’s face has been completely lost by you."
"Thinking of the Mo Family’s ancestors, who managed to establish a foothold in the Capital and bring the Mo Family into the ranks of the Eight Great Families, they must have been extraordinary heroes of their time. How could their descendants produce such a pusillanimous wretch." Seeing Mo Yanhong so feeble, jeers once again rose from around, and some even held their wrists in grief over the Mo Family having such a descendent.
The gathering of guards also felt deep shame, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to jump into and hide.
Having commonly witnessed Mo Yanhong’s arrogant and domineering behavior, they thought that even though his character was poor, at the least he had some semblance of dominance, befitting the descendant of one of the Eight Great Families. But to their surprise, he turned out to be such a spineless individual—it was truly disappointing.
"Enough, I’ll spare you this time." Seeing Mo Yanhong kneeling and begging for mercy, Mu Cheng said indifferently, finding that bullying such a person was really uninteresting; Yuan Tianbo had more spine.
Wu Qiuyun also immediately stopped. Although he had steeled his heart to share glory and shame with Mu Hanyan, there was no need to actually kill Mo Yanhong and create a deadly feud with the Mo Family.
Since it was declared earlier that everything would be left to Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun to decide, Mu Hanyan didn’t say anything more and acquiesced to their decision.
