NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 121: Zhao Wuji, the Unbeatable Brave
Chapter 121: Zhao Wuji, the Unbeatable Brave
"No chance of survival!"
These words suddenly flashed through Young Master Dai's mind.
Immediately, a chill surged from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
"Zhu Zhuqing is determined to kill me!"
He realized the gravity of the situation.
"Zhuqing, listen to me, I never intended to harm you from the beginning to the end. I just wanted to have you."
Young Master Dai kept waving his hands, pleading with Zhu Zhuqing, trying to find a chance to survive.
"Zhuqing, this place is not suitable for prolonged stay, let's finish this quickly."
At this moment, Meng Yiran spoke up, reminding Zhu Zhuqing.
"I understand."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, and the third soul ring on her body lit up.
She also knew that Young Master Dai daring to attack them meant the two Soul Kings were not their only reliance.
There must be other powerful individuals behind him.
"Darkness Sever!"
Swish!
A pitch-black blade of light tore through the void, slashing towards Young Master Dai.
"It's over, everything is over."
Faced with such an attack, Young Master Dai's heart was filled with despair.
Zhu Zhuqing's soul skill's power had increased by more than just a little after reaching the forty-fifth level.
Even if he tried his best to defend, under this attack, he would either die or be seriously injured.
Moreover, even if he could dodge the first attack, how could he deal with the second one?
"A hopeless situation!"
Young Master Dai despaired.
"Hmph, this little girl's attack is quite fierce."
Suddenly, at the critical moment, a figure appeared in front of Young Master Dai.
And with frantic gathering of soul power, he raised his fist and smashed towards Darkness Sever.
Crack.
Darkness Sever shattered like fragile porcelain, breaking into countless pieces.
"So, you're the person Young Master Dai hired to deal with us?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the middle-aged man in the distance with a frosty expression, her pretty face covered in frost.
It was he who helped Young Master Dai, blocking the attack and saving Young Master Dai's life.
"No wonder you could kill those two useless wastes. This attack power is indeed not weak."
The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache rubbed his wrist, smiling, "With such talent, no wonder Young Master Dai can't forget you."
"Captain, you finally came back. I was almost killed by them. Hurry, take them down for me."
Young Master Dai's face was full of excitement as if he had caught a lifeline.
Where was the pleading now?
"Young Master Dai, rest assured, taking money to eliminate disasters, even if you don't ask, I'll do it for you."
The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache said, with a sudden hint of difficulty on his face, "It's just that the deaths of my two brothers."
Damn brothers, didn't you just say they were useless wastes? Young Master Dai's expression changed instantly, looking even worse than the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache.
However, the two were different. Young Master Dai genuinely felt it was difficult, while the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache pretended.
As for the purpose...
"Damn, don't you just want money?"
Young Master Dai gritted his teeth, "Captain is right. I believe brothers are not priceless to you either, right? Name your price."
"Haha, you really understand me, Young Master Dai. But I think at least ten thousand Gold Soul Coins are needed to appease my grief."
The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache first laughed, then gave a figure.
Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins?
Just like that?
Damn it, do you really think my Gold Soul Coins are blown in by the wind?
Young Master Dai felt like cursing in his heart.
But did he have a choice?
"Fine, ten thousand Gold Soul Coins it is. I agree."
"Now you can make your move."
Young Master Dai gritted his teeth but still agreed.
However, the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache shook his head, "Young Master Dai, did you miscalculate? It should be twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins, not ten thousand."
What?
Young Master Dai was stunned. How come this damn money just keeps adding up?
"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, I'm talking about the price for one person. But there are two brothers, so how much do you think it should be?"
After the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache finished speaking, he looked at Young Master Dai, waiting for his reply.
Anyway, Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran couldn't escape. He had plenty of patience.
"Grit, grit."
Young Master Dai gnashed his teeth. But what could he do?
He could only grind his teeth and swallow his anger.
After a moment, he finally made a decision, "Fine, twenty thousand it is. I agree. Can you make your move now?"
"Of course, everything as you wish."
The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache smiled slightly, nodding in satisfaction.
In the next moment, countless vines suddenly surged from the jungle, surrounding Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran like spirited snakes.
"Not good, he's a control-type Soul Master," Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed.
"Dangerous," Meng Yiran's pretty face also turned pale in an instant.
But just then, a heavy figure descended from the sky and crashed into the scene.
Yes, crashed.
It was as if a meteorite from outer space had hit the earth, shaking everything.
"Master Zhao!"
Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing both recognized the figure before them, their faces showing shock.
However, Zhao Wuji's current situation was not optimistic, his clothes stained with blood.
Moreover, there were wounds on his arms deep enough to reveal bones.
"Go, find help, I'll hold them off," Zhao Wuji's voice sounded in their ears.
Then, Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran felt as if they were being thrown out of the scene by Zhao Wuji, landing several meters away.
"Master Zhao!"
"Go!"
Zhao Wuji shouted angrily.
Then, they could clearly see Zhao Wuji being entangled by vine-like tendrils.
"Hmph, none of you are going anywhere."
The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache snorted coldly, his figure twisting and turning as he pursued Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran.
"Break!"
However, just as he passed over Zhao Wuji's head, Zhao Wuji, bound like a rice dumpling, suddenly roared.
Crack.
Crack.
The vines were shattered by powerful soul force.
Then, Zhao Wuji's fifth soul skill lit up, applying gravitational pressure.
He reached out towards the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache who had just passed him, and the man's body uncontrollably flew backward.
"What kind of skill is this?"
A look of shock flashed across the middle-aged man's face with the eight-character mustache.
At the same time, seven perfectly matched soul rings appeared on his body.
The next moment, the third soul ring on his body lit up, and he waved his hand, "Entangle."
Swish swish swish.
Countless vines once again entwined around Zhao Wuji's arms.
The sudden force directly twisted Zhao Wuji's arms in another direction.
Suddenly, Zhao Wuji's fifth soul skill became ineffective.
However, when the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache looked back towards where Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran were, he found the place empty.
He was somewhat annoyed, "Then I'll deal with you first and catch them later."
"Hmph, you think you're worthy?"
Zhao Wuji snorted disdainfully, "If not for you attracting two thousand ant beasts to ambush me, I could easily handle you with one hand."
"Is that so?" The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache sneered.
As his voice fell, another eerie voice rang out, "What about me?"
At the sound, Zhao Wuji's disdainful expression froze, subconsciously looking in a certain direction.
There, a figure cloaked in black robes appeared.
Around him, six perfectly matched soul rings floated.
"It's you!"
Zhao Wuji frowned tightly, feeling a sense of danger.
He smelled a familiar scent on this person.
Whether it was coming out of Tian Dou City or attracting two thousand ant beasts, Zhao Wuji was sure it was his scent.
"Hehehe, didn't expect your nose to be so good. I guess your martial soul isn't the Vajra Bear but a hunting dog, right?" The cloaked figure chuckled, his voice carrying an unmistakable sense of pride.
"Enough talk, let's settle this with action."
"Let me show you what cruelty truly means."
A grim smile appeared on Zhao Wuji's face.
"Humph, cruelty?"
"You're just a spent force now. The attack by those ant beasts must have inflicted serious injuries on you, right?"
The cloaked figure sneered.
"Brothers, I urge you to act quickly. If we're too late, we won't be able to catch Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran," Dai Mubai said anxiously.
Zhao Wuji's life or death was none of his concern.
But he couldn't let Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran slip away no matter what.
At the very least..
Also, we need to catch Zhu Zhuqing."
"Hehe, no hurry, I've already memorized his scent. Let's deal with this dumb bear first," the cloaked man said with utmost confidence.
"Since that's the case, then I won't let you off the hook."
Zhao Wuji's eyes flashed with ferocity as he charged towards the cloaked figure.
Meanwhile.
Outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran suddenly stopped in their tracks.
"Yiran, we can't take the same route."
"Master Zhao is already injured and may not necessarily be able to handle the person Dai Mubai brought to deal with us. Someone might catch up soon," Zhu Zhuqing's face was filled with seriousness.
"Are you suggesting we split up?" Meng Yiran instantly understood Zhu Zhuqing's intention.
"Yes, we have to return to the academy through different paths. But..."
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, showing a hint of hesitation on her face.
"Zhuqing, life and death are fated. If one of us can escape, it's better than both falling into the hands of the enemy," Meng Yiran saw the hesitation in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
"Alright, let's meet in Tian Dou City then."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly.
"Then I'll go this way."
Meng Yiran pointed in a direction.
"Take care."
After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she stepped onto another path.
After a long time.
At the fork in the road, three more figures appeared.
"Shadow, what's wrong?" the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache asked the cloaked figure.
At this moment, he had many wounds on his body, and blood kept oozing from the wounds.
He looked quite miserable.
The cloaked figure seemed to be in better shape, but his black robe was tattered, revealing an old face.
At this moment, he sniffed the residual scent in the air and said somewhat bitterly, "Boss, those two girls split up and ran away."
"Cunning."
A hint of gloom flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes with the eight-character mustache. "Zhao Wuji, that dumb bear, despite being heavily injured, can still fight so well. I didn't expect that."
"Hehe, that's not the point. The point is that in the end, we let him escape," Dai Mubai said coldly behind them.
He had watched the two of them confidently confront Zhao Wuji, only to watch Zhao Wuji successfully escape in the end.
"Kid, I think you're asking for death?" The cloaked figure known as Shadow's face flashed with anger as he rebuked Dai Mubai coldly, "Just because the boss jokingly calls you 'young master Dai,' you think you're a young master?"
In fact, he was quite annoyed too.
Who could have thought that Zhao Wuji would be so fierce?
Even though he was seriously injured, he still fought evenly with them.
It was unbelievable.
At one point, he even suspected that Zhao Wuji was not made of flesh and blood but of iron and steel.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand so much beating.
"Dong dong dong."
Dai Mubai was startled by Shadow's fierce appearance and subconsciously took a few steps back.
His face turned pale instantly.
He also realized that these people were more ruthless and heartless than he had imagined. Their brotherhood was just a tool for making money.
There was no emotion involved at all.
"Shadow, shut up."
The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache frowned and shouted angrily, "There's no point in talking so much now."
Then he shifted his gaze away from Shadow and landed on Dai Mubai, "Now, between Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, you can only choose one to pursue. Who do you choose?"
"I won't make a choice. I want both," Dai Mubai shook his head, refusing to make any choices.
"Both are unrealistic. We brothers can't split up to catch them for you," the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache shook his head.
He had his own considerations for doing so. What if Zhao Wuji, that beast, decided to pick them off one by one?
Wouldn't they all be doomed?
Making money was important, but they couldn't risk their lives.
So, no matter what, they wouldn't split up again.
"Then I choose..."
Dai Mubai stretched his voice as he thought.
Soon, he made a decision in his heart, "I choose Zhu Zhuqing. I can't let her escape no matter what."
In his mind, Zhu Zhuqing was the root of all evil.
Capturing her first and taking revenge would somewhat alleviate the hatred in his heart.
As for Meng Yiran, it was just a small payback for Qin Xiao.
"Alright, let's set off immediately."
The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache nodded slightly and looked at the old man beside him, "Shadow, you lead the way. Regardless, we must fulfill Young Master Dai's request."
"Yes, boss."
Shadow replied in a hoarse voice and chased after the direction Zhu Zhuqing fled.
"Young master Dai, why aren't you leaving?"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache noticed that Dai Mubai was still standing in place, seemingly lost in thought.
Dai Mubai said, "Captain, I'm thinking, if we only capture Zhu Zhuqing, shouldn't the payment be less?"
At his words, the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache chuckled, "Young master Dai, you're too naive. You've seen the losses we've suffered in this operation, even I am heavily injured. If I don't ask for some medical expenses from you, I'll be burning incense. Who gave you the courage to reduce the hard-earned money of us brothers?"
"Oh, no, Captain, I just mentioned it casually. Please don't mind. As long as you catch Zhu Zhuqing, I won't shortchange you even a copper soul coin."
"Is that so?"
The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not. I'll also give you five thousand gold soul coins as medical expenses."
"Hmph, that's more like it." The middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache nodded in satisfaction.
On the other side.
Outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gate, Qin Xiao's face suddenly changed.
He felt like his heart was being stabbed with needles.
