Chapter Thirty: The Execution of Ding Wugu

“Ah!”

Ding Wugu let out a terrible scream.

Bang!

The Azure Serpent was shattered by Ding Wugu’s force.

But its venom had already entered his body.

Ding Wugu manipulated the black aura surrounding him to fend off the rain of arrows, leaving him unable to force out the venom with all his strength. Coupled with the injuries he had sustained, his face began turning faintly blue in the blink of an eye.

“Fire!” Yan Chuan shouted.

“Yes, sir!” the soldiers answered in unison.

It was Ding Wugu who had wantonly slaughtered their comrades. At last, they had the chance to avenge them. Carrying hatred in their hearts, the soldiers drew their bows to full strength again and again, showing no mercy as they continued to fire.

Yan Chuan did not act personally. At this moment, he yielded the opportunity to kill Ding Wugu to his subordinates.

Although the compromise he had made with Ding Wugu that day had mostly faded from the soldiers’ minds, a trace of shadow remained. A commander had to inspire absolute strength and absolute confidence in his troops; not even the slightest doubt could be left behind, or it would surely become a grave danger in the future.

Yan Chuan was planting a belief deep in the hearts of his soldiers: so long as they followed him, they would never be wronged.

Letting them vent their hatred by killing their enemy would only make them more loyal afterward.

Hiss! Hiss!

There were countless snakes but little flesh to go around. Even though a great many arrows swept through the air, the venomous serpents still surged forward one after another.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Wugu was completely surrounded by thousands upon thousands of venomous snakes.

Crack! Crack! …

One snake after another broke through the black aura and sank its fangs into Ding Wugu’s body.

“Ah!” Ding Wugu screamed repeatedly.

“Young Master Yang, save me!” Ding Wugu cried out.

In the distance, Yang Zhijiu’s expression changed. He took a step forward, preparing to rush over.

Whoosh!

Mo Yuxi suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Didn’t you say this was a private feud between them? We should still stay out of it,” Mo Yuxi said with a smile.

“Ding Wugu has fallen into Yan Chuan’s trap. He’s going to die!” Yang Zhijiu said anxiously.

“What trap? He was simply inferior to his opponent and brought death upon himself,” Azure Dragon said disdainfully from the side.

“Holy Maiden, save me! I came to help you, Holy Maiden!” Ding Wugu pleaded with Mo Yuxi.

“Help me? Before you came, I treated you with considerable regard. But were you truly helping me?” Mo Yuxi asked coldly.

Ding Wugu’s face gradually darkened.

“No, you can’t kill me! Dao Lord Mao Ri sent me here to assist you. If I die, how will you answer to Dao Lord Mao Ri?” Ding Wugu cried desperately.

“Dao Lord Mao Ri? You needn’t trouble yourself over that. You invited me to witness your life-and-death struggle, then went back on your word. I will not behave as shamelessly as you have,” Mo Yuxi said heavily.

“Ding Wugu, who do you think you are? A half-baked geomancer in the Essence Realm, and you dare threaten the Holy Maiden?” Azure Dragon rebuked.

“Young Master Yang, Young Master Yang, save me! I can help you—I can help you…” Ding Wugu shouted toward Yang Zhijiu.

“Yuxi…” Yang Zhijiu looked at Mo Yuxi helplessly.

“Yang Zhijiu, you are the son of Dao Lord Mao Ri. When you act outside, you represent Dao Lord Mao Ri himself. Surely you would not go back on your word and cause Dao Lord Mao Ri to lose the world’s trust?” Mo Yuxi fixed her gaze on him.

Yang Zhijiu furrowed his brows and stared at Mo Yuxi for a while. Then, all at once, his expression cleared, and he said brightly, “Of course not. Ding Wugu brought this upon himself. No one else can be blamed!”

“Good.” Mo Yuxi nodded in satisfaction.

In the distance, Ding Wugu found himself abandoned by everyone in an instant, and despair appeared in his eyes.

“No… This shouldn’t be happening. No!” Ding Wugu spat poisonous blood as he cried out with all his strength.
