Chapter 1279: A Good Actress

Everyone shifted their gaze to Wu Yu’er, waiting for her to explain what hideous act Wu Chen did.

Upon hearing Wu Tian Yu’s question, Wu Yu’er glared at Su Mo and accused, “This man is a beast, he tried to take advantage of me. Had I not coincidentally met Brother Wu Lie, my purity would have been violated by him!”

Everyone was shocked and confused. Wu Chen taking advantage of Wu Yu’er?

This couldn’t be true, right?

Weren’t the two engaged to one other?

And, yet, he tried to take advantage of her?

While Su Mo’s face was serious, he was laughing inside. This woman was as toxic as a snake, she wanted to drive him to his death!

He knew that Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er schemed together, but now they tried to accuse Wu Chen of taking advantage of Wu Yu’er, what a joke!

Sensing the disbelief in the crowd, Wu Yu’er gritted her teeth and uttered, “Everyone probably doesn’t know, but my relationship with Wu Chen is vile. We were betrothed before we were even born, and I don’t have any love for him!”

“That is why I wanted to cancel the engagement and remain solely as friends with him!”

“A month ago, I went to find him to propose this to him, but he completely rejected the idea!”

“He then arranged to meet me at a barren hill, south of the city, to resolve this matter.”

“I didn’t think much of this at the time. I thought he arranged to meet at such a deserted place because he didn’t want anyone to know of this shameful matter.”

At this point Wu Yu’er became emotional, her eyes, brimming with tears, also filled with rage and humiliation. She yelled, “I never suspected that he would poison me and overpower me once I went there! He made me lose my strength and stripped me of my ability to use my power!”

“After that, this cruel man released his inner beasts and tried to rape me. Luckily, Brother Wu Li happened to pass by the hill and managed to stop this monster, thus saving me!”

“He ran away after that. I thought that he wouldn’t dare to return after being caught in the act, but here he is, back in Black Gold City!”

As Wu Yu’er explained what happened, tears streamed down her face and her voice was shaking with fear and distress. The people began to pity her.

After listening to her story, everyone’s faces hardened and they glared murderously at Su Mo.

He actually attempted such a despicable act on his fiancé.

Beast!

This Wu Chen was a complete beast!

Even Elder Wu Xun stopped investigating the matter of the cultivation room. His face turned serious and full of hostility.

“Wu Chen, you beast, you are not worthy of being our fellow tribe member. Fight us to your death, if you have the courage!” exclaimed a tall and bulky young man.

“That’s right, how despicable you are, Wu Chen. Do you dare to fight us?”

“Fight with me, our cultivation level is similar. I wouldn’t be considered an unfair opponent to you!”

The crowd yelled out at him, growing even more enraged and seeking to punish Wu Chen.

Su Mo face remained cold and he ignored the crowd. His gaze was solely on Wu Yu’er.

He couldn’t help by sigh inwardly. This girl was such a good actress. This scene she had fabricated was so full of emotion, she should win an award!

“Wu Yu’er, you lie without even batting an eyelid. You are the one who wanted to kill me, yet you purposely try and reverse the facts!” said Su Mo icily.

“I can stand witness to this. Wu Chen, don’t try to deny it anymore!” a cold voice resounded. Wu Lie had spoken.

“You?”

Hearing this, Su Mo scoffed, “You, who collaborated with Wu Yu’er and joined forces to kill me? Now you have the audacity to be a witness?”

“A load of nonsense! You have a beast’s heart, yet you still refuse to reflect and repent!” yelled Wu Lie, his killing desire awakened.

Everyone else similarly nurtured a desire to kill Wu Chen. They trusted Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er’s story.

Dark Force rose from Wu Tian Yu’s hands, he had already begun to make a move. Wu Chen was so despicable, even if he killed him, he would probably not suffer any consequences.

At that moment, Su Mo’s face was serious. He could feel everyone’s desire to kill him.

This time, he really had became everyone’s target.

Glancing at Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er, Su Mo felt the desire to kill rising within him. He had to get rid of those two.

If he didn’t, his identity would sooner or later be exposed.

Those two were the only ones who knew that Wu Chen was already dead. Furthermore, Wu Yu’er was very familiar with Wu Chen. Although she had yet to find anything amiss, in the future she would definitely find out that he was an imposter.

Once exposed, he would surely die in the Sorcerer Tribe territory.

“Wu Yu’er, Wu Lie, the two of you schemed to kill me, I will not let you go. If you have the courage, fight me to the death tomorrow morning at Black Gold City’s Fighting Ground!” exclaimed Su Mo, glaring at the two of them.

Everyone was shocked by Wu Chen’s words, he actually dared to challenge Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er!

Wu Chen was only at the Level 3 Martial Emperor realm. He was truly tempting death by challenging two Level 4 Martial Emperor martial artists!

Wu Tian Yu temporarily dismissed his desire to kill. Since Wu Chen was seeking his own death, he was too lazy to make a move by himself.

Wu Yu’er and Wu Lie were both surprised, they did not imagine Wu Chen would actually dare to challenge them.

They thought that exposing Wu Chen’s despicable ways would cause enough public outrage that the crowd itself would murder Wu Chen. Once he was dead, there would be no other witnesses to the matter and the tribe would not investigate them too harshly.

But now, Wu Chen actually decided to challenge them!

Looking at each other, a flash of joy passed between their eyes.

This was a divinely given opportunity. To kill Wu Chen openly on the grand stage of Black Gold City Fighting Ground was definitely an opportunity not to be missed.

This is because the tribe did not care much about mutually agreed challenges on the Fighting Ground.

“Ok, we agree with the challenge. Tomorrow morning we will fight to the death at the Fighting Ground!” Wu Yu’er and Wu Lie said in unison.

“Very good!”

Su Mo nodded his head and then turned around to face Wu Tian Yu. “How about you? Want to join in the fight?”

He hoped that Wu Tian Yu would join the fight so that he could kill him openly.

The crowd, already shocked, was thrown into disbelief by his words. Now Wu Chen actually dared to challenge Wu Tian Yu? Wasn’t he already tempting his own death?

Wu Tian Yu scoffed, “You don’t have the qualifications to challenge me. Let’s talk only if you survive against the two of them!”

With that, Wu Tian Yu brushed his long robe, turned around, and strode out of Earth Pagoda.

Staring at Wu Tian Yu’s back, Su Mo laughed coldly within his heart. Then, he turned and marched out of the pagoda.

“Ha, ha! This Wu Chen will definitely die tomorrow!”

“That is a given, he really doesn’t know his place!”

“He wouldn’t possibly try to run away, right? We should follow him in case he leaves the city tonight!”

The crowd members engaged in discussion, laughing heartily. Yet, there were some suspicious men who worried that Su Mo might run away, and they quickly decided to follow him.

“Brother Wu Lie, Sister Yu’er, you guys definitely cannot spare Wu Chen tomorrow!”

“Yes, don’t even let him die an easy death!”

“That despicable Wu Chen, he will reap what he sows now!”

A few moments later, numerous people saluted Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er and pledged that they were confident of the two’s strength.

Besides, the two were both in the Level 4 Martial Emperor Realm, and were much stronger than Wu Chen. Wu Chen was also not a powerful genius.

“Rest assured, everyone. Tomorrow Wu Chen shall die!” laughed Wu Lie, full of confidence that he would win the fight tomorrow.

He had previously fought Wu Chen at the hill before killing him, and was completely aware of Wu Chen’s capabilities. He was definitely not worthy of being Wu Lie’s opponent.

Furthermore, it had only been a month since then. No matter how hard Wu Chen could have trained, he would not have improved much since then.

Wu Yu’er had the same thoughts. She would be able to completely obliterate Wu Chen tomorrow.

Yet, she was not sure why, but she somehow felt that Wu Chen had changed slightly. She could not find words for the change in aura she felt from him.
