Zhu Zhuqing turned around upon hearing the sound and saw those faces. Her heart sank to the bottom.
Looking at the man in front of her, who still looked completely calm and collected, she felt like crying.
She raised her hand and pointed at Jiang Yunzhou, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
As if resigned to his fate, he said:
"You'd better leave quickly! These people are here to kill me. If you don't leave, you'll get caught up in it too!"
Although she was annoyed that this person had delayed her escape, she did not want to implicate innocent people.
Jiang Yunzhou continued, "No need!"
Zhu Zhuqing paused, wondering if this person had some serious mental illness.
Wasn't she clear enough?
Didn't you see the group of people behind you looking murderous?
She shook her head, giving up on the idea of communicating with this fool.
We've given all the advice we could; let's leave it to fate!
Well, since you're so good-looking, let me offer one more piece of advice:
"They're after me! And the leader is from the Soul Sect!"
"You'd better leave if you don't want to die!"
After saying that, she stopped looking at Jiang Yunzhou and, forcing her exhausted body to make a final stand.
Having fled for so long, she was exhausted and her soul power was almost depleted.
The original plan was to use the dense forest to escape and get into Soto City, where they would be safe.
But now, looking at the figures slowly gathering in front of her, a deep sense of powerlessness gripped her.
"Are you really trying to force me to my death?" She leaned against a large tree, her voice filled with resentment and indignation.
A complex expression crossed the face of the leader of the Soul Sect. He clasped his hands and said, "Why does Miss San ask when she already knows the answer? We are just following orders and have no choice in the matter. We hope Miss San will not take offense."
His tone carried a hint of admiration.
During the pursuit, Zhu Zhuqing's tenacity and resourcefulness left a deep impression on him.
Moreover, since the other party had already recognized her identity, there was no need to hide it, so she simply addressed him as the Third Miss.
They didn't actually go all out to intercept them; in fact, they even considered letting them go easy on them.
If she can escape into Soto, they will at least have some answers.
Unexpectedly, a strange guy suddenly appeared, completely disrupting their rhythm.
In the power struggles within wealthy families, those of them who are subordinates have no choice but to obey orders.
"No need for further words, let's get started." The leader of the Soul Sect sighed and waved his hand helplessly.
"Boss, should it be dead or alive?" a Soul Master asked, licking his lips.
"Don't kill them, take them back alive!" Soul Master ordered in a deep voice.
As soon as the words fell, the soul rings on the bodies of several Soul Masters lit up one after another, flashing yellow and purple light, quickly forming a fan shape to surround Zhu Zhuqing.
The fact that they were so cautious in dealing with a Grand Soul Master shows that they may have suffered losses at Zhu Zhuqing's hands before.
Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth, her spirit cat spirit possessed her, and two yellow spirit rings rose beneath her feet.
However, the difference in their cultivation levels and her extreme physical exhaustion rendered her resistance futile.
In just one exchange, under the deliberate attrition and encirclement of her opponent, she was struck hard by a surge of soul power, sending her flying backwards, heading straight for the spot where Jiang Yunzhou was standing.
Jiang Yunzhou calmly opened his arms and steadily caught the girl who was flying backward. His movements were natural and smooth. With a quick movement, he pulled his arms around her and encircled her delicate body in his arms.
The woman attacked without warning, and he didn't even have time to say anything.
Instead of the expected sharp pain from hitting the ground, I fell into a solid and warm embrace.
Zhu Zhuqing's mind went blank for a moment.
This sudden sense of security.
Zhu Zhuqing looked up and met Jiang Yunzhou's deep eyes.
My brain went blank for a moment.
How did I end up in his arms?
After a brief moment of distraction, a feeling of embarrassment welled up inside me.
She instinctively reached out to push away that hard chest, only to find that the other person's arm was like an iron hoop, completely immovable.
My God! How can this man's body be so hard!
Feeling the power and heat emanating from the firm muscles, her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
She sighed inwardly: It's over. This man has a pair of captivating eyes that seem to look at even dogs with affection, and a body full of hard, muscular muscles. It's a pity he's brainless. He didn't listen to advice earlier, and now he's probably going to die here with me.
Looking at the overly handsome face so close to her, her anger somehow dissipated by more than half.
"Sigh..." she sighed resignedly.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why didn't you listen? I'm not joking..."
She couldn't push him away, and she really didn't have the strength to push anymore.
His soul power was exhausted, his legs were weak, and he almost didn't have the strength to stand up.
Having someone to rely on at times like this feels pretty good!
Jiang Yunzhou could clearly feel the subtle trembling of the delicate body in his arms.
He grinned and said, "Become my disciple, and I'll rescue you from your predicament. How about it?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, wondering if she was hallucinating due to excessive blood loss.
What kind of time is this? He's still thinking about making her become his apprentice?
She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
However, before she could respond...
"Boy! Looking for death!"
A furious shout rang out!
The leader of the Soul Sect had a gloomy face, and his eyes were full of killing intent!
Although they came to capture Zhu Zhuqing, she was, after all, the third young lady of the family, with a noble status!
At this moment, she was being held so intimately in the arms of a man of unknown origin?
Four spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, and the powerful fluctuations of spirit power instantly locked onto Jiang Yunzhou!
"You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, and you barge into the gates of hell but refuse to leave. We offered you a way out earlier but you wouldn't take it. Now, we have no choice but to ask you to die."
The Soul Master's voice was icy cold. Killing an ordinary person was like crushing an ant for him; he felt no guilt whatsoever.
He formed his five fingers into claws, condensed his soul power, and with a sharp whooshing sound, aimed straight for Jiang Yunzhou's throat!
Jiang Yunzhou raised his eyes, a half-smile curving his lips.
Just as the Soul Master's face revealed a ferocious expression, and his soul power surged as he approached—
Jiang Yunzhou didn't even activate his spirit rings; he simply raised his hand casually and uttered a few clear words:
"Green leaves split the sky."
The moment the words were spoken, time seemed to freeze for a split second.
Before anyone could detect any trace of soul power fluctuations, a subtle yet deadly emerald light flashed and disappeared.
The menacing Soul Master froze, his sinister smile vanished, and disbelief and horror filled his eyes.
He couldn't even make a sound anymore, his mouth opening and closing.
Then, a very thin line of blood quietly appeared on his neck.
Immediately afterwards, blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the surrounding leaves red.
His heavy body fell straight to the ground, lifeless, his eyes wide open in death.
Chapter 6 Wake Up! My Good Disciple
The fierce expressions on the faces of the several Soul Masters who came with them were instantly replaced by fear, and their minds were shaken!
They then realized that the seemingly harmless young man in front of them was not a lamb to the slaughter at all.
He was clearly a menacing figure whose presence they couldn't even sense!
Even a Soul Master was killed so easily in an instant!
There is not even a chance to resist!
What are those few mere Soul Venerables worth in the eyes of the other side?
We can't afford to mess with them! Absolutely not!
I wonder if kneeling will still be effective now?
Forget about running away, I've lost even the courage to move a finger.
They stood rooted to the spot, not daring to breathe, their faces ashen, awaiting the verdict.
Zhu Zhuqing was also stunned by what happened in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the Soul Master fall to the ground dead instantly, she turned her head and stared at Jiang Yunzhou with an incredulous look.
"You, you killed him?" Her voice trembled slightly.
Jiang Yunzhou was speechless at her reaction. Wasn't it obvious that she was asking such a pointless question?
"What, you can't kill him?"
"He was just about to kill me."
"I have never been one to show mercy to my enemies."
