Chapter 67 Zhu Zhuqing's Transformation: Our Engagement is Now Null and Void!
Tang San tried to resist, and black light even began to gather in his left hand.
But just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to appear, Ye Tianchen's light voice pierced Tang San's mind like a bolt from the blue.
"If I were you, I wouldn't summon the Clear Sky Hammer and invite humiliation."
That one sentence shattered any remaining resistance Tang San might have had.
At this moment, all he felt was terror.
His twin Spirits were his deepest secret. Even Xiao Wu, who had been his classmate for six years, did not know that he had twin Spirits, let alone that his second Spirit was the Clear Sky Hammer, which was known as the number one weapon Spirit on the continent.
But this stranger, whom he had only met for less than an hour, actually knew the name of his second Spirit with perfect accuracy. Just who was he?!
Ye Tianchen looked down at the head that had been trampled into the mud at his feet.
In the world of Soul Masters, strength reigns supreme.
His voice was soft, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"I am stronger than you, that's the point."
He applied a little force, and Tang San's face sank even deeper into the mud.
"So what if I deceive you and humiliate you?"
A deathly silence.
Ma Hongjun opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out.
Dai Mubai stood still, motionless.
He found himself unable to even feel anger; only a chilling fear spread from his feet to the top of his head.
Oscar was completely limp, leaning against the tree trunk, too weak to even stand up.
They looked at the boy who was stepping on his companion's head, at him standing there shirtless and unharmed, at him holding a perfectly healthy Zhu Zhuqing in his arms.
They suddenly realized a terrifying fact—
From the very beginning, they had no chance of winning.
This boy was someone they simply couldn't contend with.
Ye Tianchen's gaze swept over everyone present, taking in their fear, despair, and disbelief.
A faint smile curved his lips.
Then, he withdrew his foot and took a step back.
Tang San's face emerged from the mud, his left cheek swollen and red, his hair covered in charred mud, looking extremely disheveled.
He was panting heavily, and didn't even dare to look Ye Tianchen in the eye.
"Wake up, I know you're not unconscious."
Ye Tianchen looked down at Zhu Zhuqing in his arms.
Having been exposed by Ye Tianchen, Zhu Zhuqing saw no need to hide it any longer and immediately opened her eyes.
When she looked at Ye Tianchen again, the coldness and anger she had shown before were gone, but the emotions she contained were more complex and hard to describe.
With a gentle sway of her waist, Zhu Zhuqing broke free from Ye Tianchen's embrace. Without that enveloping warmth, she felt a rare sense of unease, but she forcefully suppressed it.
"I'm in a good mood today."
Ye Tianchen looked at Tang San and the others.
"I'll spare your lives."
He turned and walked deeper into the forest.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, but did not turn around.
"Next time we meet, be a bit stronger. At least that way... I'll still have the interest to keep playing."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of golden lightning appeared, and his figure disappeared into the dense forest.
Only four disheveled boys and a silent girl remained on the spot.
After a long while, Dai Mubai broke the silence with a long breath.
Zhu Zhuqing was standing quietly with her back to him, the wind blowing through her long hair, which swayed gently in the twilight.
Dai Mubai's eyes lit up at that moment.
He straightened his clothes, trying to make his expression look calm and composed, and then walked towards Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhu Qing!"
His voice was filled with barely suppressed joy.
"I'm so glad you're alright! You really scared me to death just now, I thought..."
He walked over to Zhu Zhuqing and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder.
Zhu Zhuqing turned slightly to the side, avoiding his hand.
Dai Mubai's hand froze in mid-air, but he quickly covered it up with a smile.
He withdrew his hand, his expression becoming even more concerned.
"If anything happens to you, I'll make that fatty pay!"
His voice suddenly rose, and he turned to look at Ma Hongjun, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Fatty, aren't you going to come over and apologize to Zhu Qing?"
Ma Hongjun was stunned for a moment.
His small eyes darted back and forth between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, his expression incredibly interesting.
"Boss Dai, weren't you just now...?"
"Um?"
Dai Mubai snorted coldly, interrupting Ma Hongjun.
That cold snort carried a clear warning.
Ma Hongjun felt a chill run down his spine when he met Dai Mubai's gloomy face.
Of course he remembered what Dai Mubai had just said.
But now, Dai Mubai was acting as if he wanted to stand up for Zhu Zhuqing.
A sense of displeasure welled up in Ma Hongjun's heart.
However, given Dai Mubai's strength and status, he forced a smile and walked up to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhu Qing, it was my fault just now."
His voice was somewhat stiff.
"But I was doing this to avenge Zhao Wujie, you should..."
"Smack—!"
The crisp sound interrupted Ma Hongjun's words.
But the slap wasn't aimed at him.
Dai Mubai.
That slap was delivered to Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai covered his left cheek, his eyes wide open, his pupils filled with disbelief.
A burning pain shot through his cheek, reminding him that what had just happened was not an illusion.
He was slapped.
By Zhu Zhuqing.
"You... hit me?"
Dai Mubai's voice was hoarse, as if it were being squeezed out from deep in his throat.
He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, whose raised hand had not yet fully fallen.
"How dare you hit me?"
Dai Mubai repeated himself, his voice suddenly rising in pitch.
Anger began to flare in his eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to hit him.
He was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, a figure above all others.
Even his father, the emperor, had never laid a hand on him!
But now, he had been hit by a woman, even though she was his fiancée in name only.
Dai Mubai clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.
But Zhu Zhuqing did not back down.
She stood in front of Dai Mubai, looking up at him.
In her dark purple eyes, there gleamed an indomitable spirit like that of a mother leopard.
"Dai Mubai."
Her voice was cold, each word like an ice pick piercing Dai Mubai's heart.
"From this moment forward, the engagement between you and me, Zhu Zhuqing, is null and void, and we shall have no further connection whatsoever."
The engagement is null and void.
Those words, like a thunderclap, exploded in Dai Mubai's mind.
Even Ma Hongjun and the others turned their attention to the two of them.
Dai Mubai's anger froze on his face at that moment.
Instead, he experienced an emotion he had never felt before—panic.
"Break off the engagement?!"
His voice even changed tone.
"Do you even know what you're saying?"
