This palm, imbued with anger, carried enough force to shatter stone, yet Ji Mo remained unmoved.
Yue Longgang's brow furrowed. Although this palm wasn't at full power, it was enough to injure a Saint Realm expert. Why was the other party completely unharmed?
Disbelieving, he circulated his spiritual energy and struck again.
"Enough. If you keep poking me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Ji Mo patted his wrinkled collar, not particularly angered.
The opponent appeared large, but Ji Mo felt no significant force behind his attacks.
The palm struck his body, feeling soft and yielding, with no impact.
Poking?
You dare poke me! I'll beat you to death!
Yue Longgang roared, his hair flying. Muscles bulged beneath his skin, veins like coiled dragons surging, his skin gleaming with a bronze luster, a divine and imposing sight. Da Feng Novel Network.
His fist struck Ji Mo's chest with the speed of a raging dragon, carrying immense power.
This punch was unleashed with his full strength, ten percent of his power, capable of shattering a mountain.
Yet, Ji Mo only swayed slightly.
The energy Yue Longgang unleashed entered Ji Mo's body and vanished like a stone into the sea, causing no harm.
"Is that all? All show and no go!"
Ji Mo saw Yue Longgang transform like a Saiyan, his muscles bulging, appearing incredibly fierce. He had been momentarily intimidated, but upon realizing the punch was still soft and weak, he couldn't help but retort.
Some people appear muscular but are merely fat.
"All show and no go?"
Yue Longgang trembled with rage.
He, Yue Longgang, was a true iron-blooded man, capable of seven times a night... no, capable of fighting ten thousand soldiers alone.
He was invincible on the battlefield, taking enemy generals' heads as easily as plucking something from his pocket. A mere roar from him could send enemies fleeing in terror.
Now, to be mocked as all show and no go, like a gaudy ornament!
"You, Ji, you are finished."
Yue Longgang felt his dignity had been insulted, his aura rising steadily, ready to attack without reservation.
His three thousand men were watching; he had to regain his honor.
Just then, a horse galloped furiously, shouting, "Marshal Yue, something big has happened!"
This shout made Yue Longgang halt his actions.
It was his deputy general. If it weren't for a major event, this person would never have acted so.
"Marshal Yue, something has happened at the recruitment office. Over a hundred sons of officials, along with tens of thousands of retainers, are clamoring to enlist and defend the border."
The deputy general dismounted swiftly and hurried to Yue Longgang's side to report the situation.
"What kind of joke is this? Those pampered young masters want to join the army? Is the sun rising from the west?"
Yue Longgang's expression was one of utter disbelief.
Everyone knew these dandies were only interested in debauchery, feasting, and playing. They were all cowardly, and forcing them into military service would be harder than killing them.
Now, they were voluntarily enlisting, bringing large retinues. What were these scoundrels up to?
"Those young lords are determined to enlist, and we can't refuse them. However, their elders, those officials, are strongly opposed. The Ministry of War is in chaos."
The deputy general was sweating profusely. He could no longer handle this matter and had to report it to Yue Longgang to resolve.
"You, Ji, wait until I've dealt with this official business before I settle with you."
Yue Longgang did not let personal matters interfere with public duty. Knowing the gravity of the situation, he immediately decided to return and handle military affairs.
This matter needed to be resolved promptly. Otherwise, officials might misunderstand him, thinking he used underhanded tactics to forcibly recruit those pampered young masters, which would lead to significant trouble.
"Ji Mo, you shameless wretch, take your life!"
At this moment, shouts of killing echoed.
An enraged Ying Tianci led hundreds of cavalry guards, charging forward.
He felt utterly humiliated, almost driven mad.
His only thought was to tear Ji Mo to shreds. If anyone dared to stop him, he would kill gods and Buddhas alike.
If Ying Tianbao dared to intervene, he would eliminate him as well, to prevent future trouble.
Ying Tianci was blinded by hatred, his mind solely focused on killing.
"Marshal Yue!"
Wang Guang, who was accompanying him, had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Yue Longgang's tall figure and the surrounding soldiers radiating killing intent.
He thought, "It's over. Could it be that Ji Mo set a trap for me to walk into?"
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Are you attempting to rebel?"
Yue Longgang, already full of anger, was displeased to see Ying Tianci charging with his cavalry guards and let out a loud roar.
The sound waves, like thunder, shook the cavalry guards, causing them to fall from their horses.
Even Ying Tianci tumbled off his horse, landing face-first.
He was stunned. What was going on? Why was Yue Longgang here?
"Marshal Yue, I want to get revenge on this Ji fellow!"
Under Wang Guang's指认, Ying Tianci glared fiercely at Ji Mo, his eyes red.
"How did he offend you?"
Yue Longgang asked curiously.
Was this Ji Mo so troublesome? What had he done to the Crown Prince?
Judging by the Crown Prince's expression, it was as if his wife had cheated on him; his entire face was green.
Ying Tianci suddenly didn't know how to answer. He couldn't bring himself to speak of being cuckolded.
If he said it, wouldn't he become a laughingstock of the entire nation? He would rather die than speak of it!
"Do you know I have a grudge with this kid and want to curry favor with me? Put away your ulterior motives. This kid is mine to deal with. If you dare to touch him, I'll skin you alive."
Seeing Ying Tianci stammering and unable to explain, Yue Longgang became displeased, assuming Ying Tianci was trying to flatter him.
"Your Highness, my feud with Ji Mo is not to be interfered with by anyone. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
He showed no respect to Ying Tianci, issued a threat, and then led his soldiers away in a hurry.
Ying Tianci was furious, his lungs about to explode.
What was this?
As soon as he arrived, Yue Longgang became Ji Mo's protector. Now, he dared not attack Ji Mo. How infuriating!
"Are all of you out of your minds? What did I do? Why is everyone shouting to kill me?"
Ji Mo felt utterly bewildered.
Since arriving in Wangjing, he had stayed indoors. Today was the first time he went out for a stroll, and now everyone wanted him dead.
"A plague god. This Ji Mo is a plague god! Not only has he offended Marshal Yue, but he's also offended the Crown Prince. He's going to get my殿下 killed!"
Uncle Fu felt lingering fear, looking at Ji Mo as if he were a plague god.
This person was too good at offending people. He had only been out for half a day, and already such a huge mess had occurred. If this continued, wouldn't the entire nation become his enemy?
"Your Highness, Young Master Ji absolutely cannot be kept."
Uncle Fu quickly advised Ying Tianbao.
They needed to find a way to drive Ji Mo out of the princely mansion and distance themselves from him as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences would be endless.
"As expected of my Brother Mo, so domineering! When can I become a formidable man like Brother Mo!"
Ying Tianbao ignored Uncle Fu, his eyes shining as he looked at Ji Mo with immense admiration.
"Ji Mo, I will not rest until I have avenged myself upon you. I will surely flay your skin, dismember you, and feed you to the dogs."
Ying Tianci's face was contorted, pointing at Ji Mo and cursing, completely disregarding his status as Crown Prince or his dignity.
"You're sick! I didn't steal your wife or sleep with your woman, why do you want to kill me?"
Ji Mo looked innocent.
This sentence was like a knife piercing Ying Tianci's heart.
"You... you've gone too far! Pfft..."
His anger surged, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and faint on the spot.
