723 -721: Scooping Out the Heart to Reveal Its True Colors—Red or Black?

“As long as we cut open her belly and take out the child, won’t we know if it’s a boy or girl?”

Su Yi’s face wore a sinister smile as he spoke darkly.

The two men exchanged a glance.

The sharp-faced youth hurriedly smiled and said, “As expected of the young master, truly wise.

Big Head, aren’t you going to grab that woman over here?”

“Why should I go?

Skinny Monkey, you go…” the big-faced youth, Big Head, responded.

Su Yi coldly ordered, “Go together!”

Both men hung their heads immediately, wearing lascivious cruel smiles as they approached the unsuspecting couple resting in the shade of the trees.

From the treetops.

Little Lin’s face showed a frosty color, “Damn it, even we beasts wouldn’t do something as beastly as this…”

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, his eyes also filled with icy coldness.

People always say that beasts are unfeeling.

But even tigers do not eat their young!

Instead, the Human Race, which prides itself on courtesy, integrity, modesty, and fidelity to kinship and righteousness, often has cases of fathers and sons slaying one another and brothers turning against each other.

Such brutal acts as those of Su Yi.

In this world of the survival of the fittest, they were not uncommon!

“Release my wife…”

“Husband, save me…”

“Don’t harm my child…”

The simple and honest couple had already been dragged in front of Su Yi by Skinny Monkey and Big Head.

The honest man was pinned to the ground by Skinny Monkey, stepping on his face.

His eyes were blood red, full of despair and helplessness, his hands desperately clutching at the ground while blood stained his fingers: “Let go of my wife…

If you must kill or flay, do it to me, don’t harm my wife…”

“My lord, save our child…”

The pregnant woman was being held up by Big Head with her hands behind her back, standing in front of Su Yi.

She struggled desperately, but how could she break free from the hands of Big Head, a ninth layer of Dharma Manifestation Realm?

Su Yi dismounted, his face wearing a ferocious smile, and a shining dagger appeared in his hand as he looked towards Big Head, “This young master here believes that there must be a boy inside.

What do you two think?”

“If the young master believes it’s a boy, we can only bet on a girl, right?”

“Haha, maybe it’s twins?”

Big Head and Skinny Monkey grinned and laughed.

They did not at all consider that once the pregnant woman’s belly was cut open, it would likely result in two lives lost.

To them…

This was merely a tool for gambling!

As for whether the pregnant woman and child lived or died, that was none of their concern!

“No, don’t, please don’t harm my child…” When the pregnant woman heard Su Yi saying he would cut open her belly, her pale face filled with despair as she shouted loudly.

Su Yi laughed grimly, “Don’t be afraid, my knife is very quick; a single cut should open it up.

I guarantee you’ll see whether there’s a boy or a girl in your belly before you die…”

“No…”

The pregnant woman struggled desperately, her cheeks already covered in tears.

The honest man, who had never spoken loudly in his life, now roared like a vengeful ghoul, “Let go of my wife…

I won’t let you off even as a ghost…”

“Hahaha, I am not afraid of you as a human, so why should I fear you as a ghost?”

Su Yi sneered disdainfully as the dagger stabbed toward the pregnant woman’s belly.

Just as he was about to cut through the belly and take out the baby, over nine months gestating.

At this critical moment…

A fair hand appeared out of nowhere, grasping Su Yi’s wrist tightly, stopping the dagger mere inches from advancing.

An icy voice echoed in Su Yi’s ears, “I thought I had no grudge with you, and I felt guilty for having taken your things.

Now it seems you deserve to die!”

Su Yi’s face suddenly changed.

His eyes followed the grasp to see a pair of icy-cold eyes staring back at him, Xiao Yi’s eyes: “Who the hell are you to meddle in my affairs?

Big Head, Skinny Monkey, kill him!”

Boom!

Boom!

Skinny Monkey and Big Head both moved at once, their violent attacks raining down on Xiao Yi.

Both were at the Peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

Their actions created no small disturbance.

The booming sounds of air exploding were deafening, causing the ground to tremble and the air to compress to the extreme.

At that moment…

Little Lin descended from the sky, his knees landing simultaneously on the backs of both men.

Bang!

Bang!

With those two muffled sounds.

The men were stomped into the ground, their heads buried deep in the dirt, their arms stretched awkwardly behind them, twitching uncontrollably.

As Little Lin stood up, blood spurted from their backs like twin fountains.

Hiss!

Su Yi’s pupils suddenly constricted.

He had not expected Xiao Yi to have reinforcements, and even more so that they would kill his two henchmen as soon as they made a move.

However…

Su Yi exhibited neither fear nor panic.

Being one of the oldest forces within the Nantian Dynasty, the marriage proposal convoy was naturally unlikely to lack experts.

An icy aura burst forth from within the procession.

That overwhelming pressure,

As if a mighty peak had descended from the heavens, almost crushing an entire world under its weight.

An icy voice echoed simultaneously, “Gentlemen, if you do not wish to die, release our young master!”

Buzz!

Two figures stepped out from within the convoy.

Without any noticeable movement, they covered a hundred yards in a blink, appearing behind Su Yi in an instant.

One faced Xiao Yi while the other eyed Little Lin fiercely.

They bore a resemblance to each other.

The older one, named Su Rong, was of the Second Layer Human Venerable Realm.

The younger one was called Su Hua, Su Rong’s younger brother, whose prowess was at the First-layer Human Venerable Peak!

With two powers from the Longevity Secret Realm present, Su Yi immediately felt confident, looking at Xiao Yi with a sneering laugh, “Kid, if you don’t want to die, let go quickly!”

However…

No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from Xiao Yi’s grip.

Instead, that grip grew tighter still,

Making the bones in his wrist feel as if they were about to shatter.

The bone-piercing pain caused Su Yi’s complexion to change drastically, and his ferocious gaze fixated on Xiao Yi.

He roared angrily at Su Rong and Su Hua, “Uncle Rong, Uncle Hua, kill them for me…”

Su Rong sighed, “Isn’t it good to live?

Why seek death?”

Su Hua’s expression was emotionless, his laugh cold, “Having strength is considered righteous intervention; lacking it means courting death!

In your next life, remember to keep a sharper eye out.

Some people are simply beyond your reach!”

The history of Galaxy Valley even predates the Nantian Dynasty.

They have always looked down on others.

If Nantian Wen had not forced them so oppressively as to bow their heads, why would they have chosen to marry into the royal family?

Let alone take Xiao Yi and Little Lin seriously.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Su Rong and Su Hua advanced simultaneously.

“Little Lin, keep an eye on him!”

Xiao Yi’s expression was unfazed as he tossed Su Yi to Little Lin.

His crimson tongue licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty battle intent, “Four Symbols Suppress the Heavens!”

Buzz!

A dazzling light condensed out of thin air, forming a finger that resembled a pillar supporting the sky, crushing towards the two men.

Su Rong and Su Hua looked scornful, “Insignificant tricks!”

“How can the light of a firefly compete with the glory of the moon?”

With a cold smile and an icy expression, Su Hua scoffed, “A mere Dharma Phase Realm Peak dares to challenge me?

Seeking death!”

Swoosh!

Su Hua casually struck out with a palm, smug and arrogant on his face.

However…

The smugness on Su Hua’s face did not last long.

A streak of blood flashed before his eyes, and his entire right arm exploded into pieces.

In a mix of blood and flesh,

Su Hua’s screams echoed simultaneously with Xiao Yi closing in for the kill.

His Splice Moon flew from his hand, piercing through Su Rong’s chest.

In an instant, he severely wounded the two Longevity Secret Realm figures.

Xiao Yi’s Yuan Qi burst forth, wrapping around the two like chains and yanking fiercely.

With a bang, they collided face to face.

Xiao Yi leaped high, his hands turned into claws, and brought them down on the heads of the two men, “Dao Heart Seed Demon!”

Swoosh, swoosh!

Black energy surged into the two men’s bodies.

As Xiao Yi leaped backward, the crisp sound of snapping entwined as the Longevity Spirits within their bodies were forcibly drawn out and turned into demon seeds.

The two men, now devoid of their Longevity Spirits, collapsed like deflated balls, slumping to the ground in an instant.

The entire event flashed by like lightning, leaving onlookers unable to comprehend what had just occurred.

After dealing with Su Rong and Su Hua, Xiao Yi’s icy gaze turned to Su Yi, “You like to gamble, right?

Let’s make a bet.

We’ll bet whether your heart is red or black.”

“How, how can you bet on that…”

Su Yi’s face was deathly pale.

Gone was his earlier arrogant demeanor.

Su Rong and Su Hua were both experts from the Longevity Secret Realm!

They hadn’t escaped a calamity at Xiao Yi’s hands.

How could he dare to act cockily now?

Xiao Yi spoke indifferently, “You can bet on whether someone is carrying a boy or a girl, so why not bet if your heart is red or black?

Here, I bet your heart is black.

If I lose, I will let you go…”

“No, no…,” Su Yi broke out in a cold sweat.

How could he gamble like that?

Wouldn’t that mean opening up his heart to check its color?

A moment’s carelessness would lead him straight to death!

In the face of Su Yi’s desperate gaze, Xiao Yi’s mouth curved slightly upward.

With a flick of his finger, his sword raced by.

With a sound, it sliced open his chest, and Xiao Yi’s hand pulled out a pulsating, fresh red heart.

Xiao Yi looked regretful, “Who would’ve thought it’s actually red?

It looks like I’ve lost.

You’re free to go!”

Su Yi: “…”

He watched his heart beating in Xiao Yi’s hand as the world before him faded and blurred, until finally, with a thud, he fell face up to the ground, devoid of any sign of life…
