"Xiao Qiu! Be careful!"
Zhu Zhuqing and the other girls were somewhat pale with fright.
If Ye Qiu hadn't held her back, Ning Rongrong might have even tried to shield him.
Ye Qiu's Sharingan spun in his eyes, rapidly transforming into the Mangekyo Sharingan.
He looked at the sixteen black, poisoned arrows.
He frowned slightly.
Meanwhile, Tang San's lips curled into a sneer.
He already knew that Ye Qiu had a Spirit Ability that could pierce through attacks.
Therefore, when he aimed at Ye Qiu, he also aimed at Zhu Zhuqing, who was behind him.
He had spent an entire night.
Applying his most lethal poison to them.
If they pierced through, Zhuqing would at least lose a layer of skin, even if she didn't die!
Although his Godly Zhuge Crossbow couldn't fire continuously, he had prepared several of them.
When Zhao Wuji reached out to seize him.
Tang San's feet blurred with afterimages.
Using the intricacy of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he quickly flashed to the side.
Two more Godly Zhuge Crossbows appeared in his hands.
They shot towards Ye Qiu from different directions.
Purple light swirled in his eyes; with every attack, he tried to avoid Xiao Wu.
Seeing the arrows about to touch Ye Qiu, a look of delight appeared in his eyes.
"Idiot! You never learn!" The trajectories of those arrows were completely exposed under Ye Qiu's Sharingan's perception.
On his stern face, threads of blood flowed from his right eye.
Amaterasu!
His eyes constantly rotated in their sockets.
Hum! Black flames instantly ignited all the arrows approaching Ye Qiu.
Under the enhancement of Kagutsuchi, they burned to ashes without even touching him.
"How could this be?!" Tang San's expression hardened, and he immediately prepared to raise his Godly Zhuge Crossbow to attack again.
However, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his hand suddenly caught fire.
The black flames were still spreading towards him!
Dai Mubai, who had been somewhat restless, turned even paler upon seeing this scene.
His right arm throbbed faintly!
"Tang San, Ye Qiu! Stop it now!" Zhao Wuji lunged towards Tang San, his face a mix of shock and anger.
Tang San immediately threw away the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his hand.
Observing Ye Qiu's gaze, he had some guesses about this strange Spirit Ability!
"Zhuqing, Xiao Wu! Protect Rongrong!"
Pulling Ning Rongrong behind him and leaving a single instruction, Ye Qiu sneered and charged towards Tang San.
"Dai Mubai! Ma Hongjun! Stop him!"
Hearing Zhao Wuji's command, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai immediately rushed towards Ye Qiu.
Swoosh!
After taking just one step, a gully, as if clawed by sharp talons, appeared at their feet.
A cold, murderous voice sounded in their ears.
"I advise you two not to move!"
Zhu Zhuqing had already entered her Spirit possession state, with one yellow and two purple spirit rings pulsating at her feet.
The sharp claws in her hands gleamed with an eerie light, captivating the soul.
Ma Hongjun's face darkened, feeling the chilling killing intent on his back, and he swallowed hard.
His gaze drifted towards Dai Mubai, expecting him to act.
He was not strong enough and didn't want to be the one to stick his neck out!
Dai Mubai was also somewhat startled.
He was horrified to discover that Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power seemed to have surpassed his own!
How was this possible!?
Upon closer inspection, he felt another moment of daze.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have become much more beautiful, and he was immediately filled with heartache and resentment in his eyes.
Damn Ye Qiu!!
"Hiss~!"
Dai Mubai was cursing in his heart when he suddenly felt a sharp pain and gasped.
"Boss Dai, y-you're bleeding!"
Ma Hongjun had already fearfully entered his Spirit possession state; he hadn't even seen Zhu Zhuqing's movements just now.
"I know," Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, his face a mix of shock and anger.
Several bloody marks had appeared on his face, with fresh blood still flowing from them.
Looking at the graceful figure in front of him.
His face instantly darkened.
"Zhu Zhuqing, don't go too far!"
Unlike her gentle and yielding demeanor with Ye Qiu, where she was at his beck and call.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were incredibly cold, devoid of any emotion.
She merely raised her eyelids slightly, giving him an indifferent glance.
Her face was expressionless, and her voice was cold.
"If you dare to stare again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhu Zhuqing's words instantly enraged Dai Mubai.
She was clearly his fiancée.
He just took one extra look, and she was already threatening him with violence!
Damn her!
The green hat on his head suddenly felt incredibly heavy.
"You bitch! Fatty, let's go together!"
Dai Mubai cursed, his body rapidly expanding, and three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—unfurled at his feet.
"Who dares?!" Without any warning, Xiao Wu's figure appeared beside Zhu Zhuqing.
Pink rabbit ears swayed on her head, and a short, stubby tail grew from her lower back.
Her body became more slender, and at her feet were three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple.
"Seven Treasure has a name, first is power, second is speed!"
Behind them, a crisp voice came, and Ning Rongrong already held a small glazed pagoda in her hand.
Two yellow spirit rings simultaneously lit up at her feet.
Four streams of light fell onto Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu respectively.
"Damn it!" Cold sweat broke out on Dai Mubai's forehead.
The anger that had just flared up was instantly extinguished.
Not to mention the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's amplification on the other side.
Furthermore… he was horrified to discover that Xiao Wu's spirit power was also no lower than his own.
What on earth was going on?!
How could they have surpassed him in such a short time!?
...
Whoosh!
Piercing through Tang San's Hidden Weapons, Ye Qiu quickly attacked him.
The Shrek group had gotten up quite early, and there weren't many diners around yet.
But the dining area of this inn wasn't spacious either.
Tang San only threw a few times.
Ye Qiu was already right in front of him!
Various methods repeatedly failed, even his Blue Silver Grass, which he himself didn't want to use anymore.
It became utterly useless in front of Ye Qiu, simply unable to harden.
Having the experience of being taught a lesson by Tsukuyomi before, he didn't dare to meet Ye Qiu's eyes.
He continuously used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge.
The Hidden Weapons in his hand were like mere illusions in front of Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu's lips curled into a sneer, and his feet also left numerous afterimages.
Tang San's expression changed drastically, in disbelief!
"How is this possible?! How do you know Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track?!"
Ye Qiu had no obligation to answer him; a few Rasengan appeared in his hand, and he threw them at him.
Bang!
In his surprise, Tang San's right shoulder was directly hit by a Rasengan.
His sleeve burst, muscles twisted, tore, and bled.
His right arm was almost dislocated.
He staggered backward.
Tang San's face was filled with horror.
As if he didn't feel the pain, his heart was only filled with deep confusion and bewilderment!
What on earth was going on?!
How could anyone else know his Tang Sect unique skills!
Looking at Ye Qiu, who was getting closer, Tang San had no time to think further.
Finally, a hint of panic appeared.
His previous close-quarters combat with Ye Qiu had been a complete bloodbath.
He already knew the disparity.
He didn't want to be beaten bloody again.
Seeing several more Rasengan flying towards him, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
Regretting that he hadn't made enough preparations before provoking Ye Qiu so early!
In the view of Purple Demon Eye, Zhao Wuji's figure intruded.
Tang San's eyes lit up.
He immediately thought of a countermeasure!
As soon as Ye Qiu's right eye aimed at him, Tang San immediately flashed and swept behind Zhao Wuji.
Seeking Zhao Wuji's protection, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge.
Zhao Wuji stood between the two.
Looking at Ye Qiu, who was still relentlessly charging towards him.
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but furrow his thick eyebrows.
To be safe, he quickly activated his Spirit, his body rapidly growing taller, shielding Tang San behind him.
"Ye Qiu! Stop, Tang San, he's… how is this possible?!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he looked on in shock as Ye Qiu slowly merged into his body.
Tang San stood behind the wall-like Zhao Wuji.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief.
However, a face he could never forget emerged from Zhao Wuji's back!
"Not good!"
Tang San exclaimed, having just relaxed, he immediately tried to raise the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his hand again!
But his movement suddenly froze for a moment.
A reddish-purple color appeared in his vision, and when he came back to his senses.
"Ugh—puff!"
A sharp pain struck his lower abdomen.
Ye Qiu had already delivered a knee strike to his stomach.
His eyes bulged slightly, and a sweet taste rose in his throat.
Tang San curled into a cooked shrimp, his feet leaving the ground, and the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his hand dropped to the floor.
"Ye Qiu! Stop quickly! He's not someone you can touch." Zhao Wuji had already turned his head.
Ye Qiu, however, didn't stop at all.
Tang San shouldn't have, shouldn't have, included Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other girls in his attack range.
After the knee strike, Ye Qiu grabbed Tang San's hair with one hand, directly lifting him up.
What did he mean, he couldn't touch him?
It was just that he couldn't kill him with peace of mind yet!
Ye Qiu's hand was covered in a layer of ice, and he was about to punch the floating Tang San.
Zhao Wuji's face was grim.
He also felt incredibly aggrieved in his heart!
Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong's relationship also made him dare not attack Ye Qiu.
His fifth spirit ring lit up at his feet, and he let out a low roar: "Fifth Spirit Ability, Gravity Press!"
"Hmm?"
His thrown punch missed, and Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
Under Zhao Wuji's fifth Spirit Ability, a heavy gravity appeared around them, squeezing Tang San towards Zhao Wuji.
Tang San finally recovered, feeling as if he had escaped from death.
Ye Qiu pouted.
He was a little annoyed by Zhao Wuji's meddling.
His cold eyes glowed with bloody light.
Want to leave?!
Today, he would definitely make Tang San remember this lesson well!
The spirit power on Ye Qiu's body began to surge continuously.
As if it was about to materialize.
Suddenly…
A bloody light reflected on Tang San's face.
His expression instantly changed drastically: "What is this thing?!"
Zhao Wuji also lost his composure for a moment, and his fifth spirit ring dimmed again.
"Boss Dai! What is that?!" Ma Hongjun swallowed his saliva and nudged Dai Mubai next to him.
"Fatty, stop pushing, I saw it!" Dai Mubai also looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
Ye Qiu was enveloped by a bloody skeleton, with a thick bony arm extending from behind him.
A giant bloody hand, in Tang San's panicked eyes,
grabbed him in its palm!
It intercepted him from his path towards Zhao Wuji.
"Ah!" The bloody hand's grip grew stronger and stronger, and a look of terror appeared in Tang San's eyes.
"Ye Qiu! Let go of me quickly… otherwise, ah!"
"Noisy!"
Susanoo exerted force suddenly, blood overflowed from the corner of Tang San's mouth, and all his bones were creaking.
His chest was so compressed that he could barely breathe.
"Ye Qiu! Tang San cannot be harmed," Zhao Wuji said with a solemn expression.
"I know!" Ye Qiu responded indifferently.
Zhao Wuji's expression was just about to soften.
Unexpectedly, as Ye Qiu spoke, he controlled that arm, lifted Tang San high up,
and then threw him down forcefully onto the ground!
Bang!
The wooden floorboards burst open, revealing the soil beneath.
"Cough, poof..."
Tang San was smashed dizzy, his internal organs were shaken, and he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, staining his clothes red.
The giant palm clenched into a fist and smashed down towards Tang San.
Bang! Tang San raised his two arms to block, but he was directly hammered in the chest.
Excruciating pain came from his hand bones, and his ribs, which had just healed not long ago, fractured again.
A mouthful of blood mist sprayed out.
A strong smell of blood permeated the air.
This finally made Zhao Wuji sober up.
"Ye Qiu! That's enough, isn't it?!"
Bang!
Ye Qiu shook his head and continued to control the giant fist as it fell.
A deep pit appeared in the soil beneath the wooden boards, and Tang San lay there, his life unknown.
"Don't go too far!" Zhao Wuji's eyelids twitched.
This Tang San was truly too miserable.
Even Oscar, who was sitting calmly beside them, was gulping down his saliva.
He secretly reminded himself in his heart that he must never provoke Ye Qiu in the future!
"I'm just preventing such sneak attacks from happening again on the journey ahead, that's all."
Ye Qiu looked coldly at Tang San, who was motionless, covered in blood, and pressed into the pit by Susanoo's large fist.
"Then that's enough now, isn't it! He's already fainted…" Zhao Wuji, with his several-meter-tall body, slowly walked towards Ye Qiu.
"Mm! That's enough…" Ye Qiu nodded indifferently.
Bang!
Blood splattered, and the ground sank.
Ye Qiu controlled Susanoo and gave the half-dead Tang San another punch.
"Ye Qiu!"
Zhao Wuji let out a furious roar.
This was already considered an open provocation to him!
His Immovable Bright King was not someone who would meekly endure everything!
This Tang San concerned the lives of him and Flender's family.
If he was truly pushed too far, he wouldn't care about the future son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School…
"Don't get excited, I was just checking if he was faking unconsciousness…"
"Cough, poof~"
Tang San's remaining consciousness heard Ye Qiu's voice.
He immediately coughed a few times, spitting out several mouthfuls of fresh blood.
After a calm glance at him, the bloody skeleton around Ye Qiu's body slowly began to dissipate.
The entire inn returned to peace.
Zhao Wuji angrily dispelled his Spirit Avatar.
He had no time to bother with Ye Qiu and quickly dug Tang San out of the pit.
He had already suffered internal injuries that hadn't fully healed, and now his body was even more battered and disfigured.
"Little Ao! Sausage! Quickly…"
"Coming, coming!"
Oscar quickly summoned his Spirit and produced Sausages.
Zhao Wuji took the Sausage.
He was already somewhat annoyed with this job of stuffing Sausages.
He pried open Tang San's mouth and roughly shoved it in.
He didn't care if it could be digested or not, he lifted Tang San's head and sent it directly down his throat like swallowing a sword!
He wanted to vent all the resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart in one go.
Ye Qiu's mouth twitched.
This Immovable Bright King truly had no patience.
He keenly noticed that Tang San still seemed to be struggling.
He seemed to be unable to breathe, rolling his eyes.
His legs involuntarily straightened, as if his toes were exerting force.
His body tensed, then relaxed.
There was no more movement, he had clearly passed out.
"Xiao Qiu~ Are you okay?"
With the matter settled, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu ran over and felt him all over.
"I'm fine!" Ye Qiu waved his hand dismissively.
Without the enhancement of Hidden Weapons and cultivation techniques, Tang San was nothing more than a Spirit Elder at level thirty-one.
Moreover, the Spirit he was currently cultivating was Blue Silver Grass.
All in all, the advantage was mine!
Not far away, Zhu Zhuqing, who had ended her standoff, also walked over, casting a concerned gaze at Ye Qiu.
As the battle concluded, the inn owner finally dared to enter: "Honored Spirit Masters, the losses to my humble establishment…"
"Miss will pay!" Ning Rongrong patted her chest, looking like a wealthy person.
Zhao Wuji single-handedly lifted the half-dead Tang San and returned to the table.
After all, Tang San was the one who made the first move.
The identities of both parties were not simple, so he couldn't favor anyone.
He could only let this matter pass for now.
"After breakfast, we will set off back to the Academy!"
He casually threw Tang San onto a table, not caring that his blood was still flowing.
No one else inquired about Tang San's condition; Dai Mubai and the others all sat back down on their own.
Ye Qiu and his companions also found a separate table and sat down.
Ning Rongrong pointed at the menu.
...
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was not far away, wiping the blood from the corner of that scoundrel Ye Qiu's eye with tenderness in her eyes,
Dai Mubai's face was almost glowing green.
His resentful gaze was discovered by Ye Qiu, and their eyes met.
He clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to look away.
Ye Qiu, however, gave a cold smile, and a hint of blood red suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The other party's body suddenly trembled, and his eyelids twitched a few times, clearly startled.
Is that all?
Ye Qiu curled his lips in disdain and no longer paid him any attention, not even putting him in his eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing also sensed something, turned her head to look at him, her gaze filled with warning…
And killing intent!
Dai Mubai's face was ashen, his molars almost grinding to dust.
He was actually being looked down upon!
That bitch actually protected Ye Qiu like that!
These damned dog and bitch!
"Boss Dai, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and eat!" Ma Hongjun kept stuffing things into his mouth, and also took the opportunity to push a plate of green vegetables in front of Dai Mubai.
"I'll eat your **!"
Looking at the green stuff, Dai Mubai immediately broke down and cursed at Ma Hongjun.
"Damn it! Boss Dai, are you acting up again?"
"Enough! Hurry up and eat!" Zhao Wuji said with a dark face: "If you have extra strength, you can carry Tang San later!"
...
The setting sun in the west.
After several hours of traveling.
Everyone finally returned to Shrek Academy.
Traveling non-stop, everyone was already very tired.
Ye Qiu carried Ning Rongrong and returned to the dormitory with them.
"Little Ao, Tang San is in your hands!"
"Don't, don't worry! Teacher Zhao, I'll definitely take good care of him!" Oscar gasped as he took Tang San over and put him on his back.
Even without Zhao Wuji saying anything, he would do his job well in taking care of Tang San, after all, he had a task on his hands.
Zhao Wuji nodded in satisfaction, finally there was someone he didn't have to worry about!
He didn't linger; this Spirit hunting trip was truly too stimulating for him, he had to report to Flender first.
"Fatty! Come on, let's go to Soto City to have some fun, my treat!" Dai Mubai slung his arm around Ma Hongjun's shoulder, his voice, eager to indulge, carried far.
Unfortunately, he was just being self-indulgent!
"Alright! Boss Dai, since you're so generous, then what you cursed me about this morning is forgiven!"
Ma Hongjun, who hadn't vented his evil fire for many days, immediately hit it off with him.
Smiling lewdly, he walked with Dai Mubai towards Soto City.
"By the way, Boss Dai, where are we going to find resources today?"
...
Dean's Office.
Knock, knock!
"Haha… Xiaogang! Hearing the force of that knock, it seems Tang San has returned safely, Wuji! Come in!"
"Flender, who are you talking to?"
Zhao Wuji outside the door pushed open the door in confusion, only to see a strange figure in the room besides Flender.
A crew cut, a washed-out, meticulously neat scholar's robe.
A stiff, bitter-looking face.
A ramrod straight back, appearing rigid, stubborn, and somewhat dull at first glance, yet with a hint of wisdom in his eyes.
"Haha… Come, Wuji, you haven't met him before!"
Flender stood up, raised his hand slightly, and introduced to Zhao Wuji: "This is my old friend Yu Xiaogang from back then, and also Tang San's teacher. You can just call him Grandmaster, he likes people to call him that!"
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
