Chapter 714: Intimidation - Mo Qingze Gets Caught (3)_1
Apart from Yan Junyu, the only person at the scene skilled in martial arts, Han Zhiyun, watched the stern-faced Xiao Ruiyuan in horror, hardly able to believe that such an expert could exist in this world.
Thinking of Xiao Ruiyuan’s age, a torrent of admiration surged through him like an endless river, not once feeling inferior that someone younger could so completely outmatch him in martial skills, something that should shame him to no end!
If Han Zhiyun felt this way, not to mention the others. Men and children watched the fearsome deity before them with a mix of fear and reverence, all the while filled with awe for the powerful.
The women, a bit more timorous, had already retreated far away, but the sight of that unspeakably handsome face, and the masculine aura he emitted while defending the Mo Family, made many young maidens and wives blush and their hearts race. Quite a few middle-aged women were utterly enchanted, inwardly sighing over why they hadn’t met a man like him, or lamenting that their parents hadn’t given birth to them a few years later.
Setting aside for a moment the magnificence of Xiao Ruiyuan’s swordplay in everyone’s eyes, Old Man Mo and his two companions had been completely dumbfounded by that one sword strike— the door splintering to pieces in an instant greatly shocked their nerves, extinguishing any thoughts of revenge against the Mo Family.
In the end, Old Man Mo, with a defeated expression, chose to submit, fleeing the Mo Household in terror, as if chased by evil spirits.
Mo Yongfu carried the frightened, incontinent Mrs. Hong on his back as he scrambled away. When he crossed the threshold, he stumbled, either due to the height of the step or his lack of attention, and both he and Mrs. Hong on his back fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing the mother and son in such a pathetic state, the villagers burst into laughter, openly saying that Lao Mo’s House had done too many unscrupulous deeds in the past, and even God couldn’t stand it any longer.
Off to the side, Wu’s, who had remained silent, tightly embraced her silent children. Catching a glimpse out of the corner of her eye as Mo Yongfu laboriously picked up Mrs. Hong again, she instinctively looked away, a trace of pity flashing across her face.
