Looking into the man's evil eyes, which regarded him like an ant, Dai Mubai finally panicked. He was afraid!
He did not want to die!
He hurriedly cast a pleading look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still in shock beside him, hoping she would plead for him for the sake of their former engagement...
However, at that moment!
A wicked, cold, merciless voice came from Jin Lingfeng:
"Dai Mubai, you originally did not have to die..."
"But now, even if the Star Luo Emperor himself appeared, he could not save you!"
"Die!"
As the final words fell, Dai Mubai's neck was snapped. He was casually thrown to the ground like a dead dog!
At the same time, the evil aura shrouding the entire Zhu Family vanished, and countless members of the Zhu Family quickly gathered.
Then, the sorrowful crying of a young girl sounded from behind him:
"Your Highness the Holy Son, how could you kill Dai Mubai?"
"He is the Second Prince. His father is the Star Luo Emperor!"
"Your identity as the Holy Son of Spirit Hall may be noble enough that the Star Luo Emperor would not dare do anything to you, but what about the Zhu Family..."
The girl slumped to the ground, covering her small mouth as she wept bitterly. Her eyes were filled with regret, making her look exceptionally pitiful...
Jin Lingfeng crouched before Zhu Zhuqing. Seeing her tear-filled eyes, he felt deeply distressed. After all, he had killed Dai Mubai, yet this poor girl had been made so sad.
"Zhu Zhuqing, stop crying."
"As long as I am here, neither you nor the Zhu Family will come to harm."
"I have already thought of a way to deal with the Star Luo Emperor. Trust me."
Jin Lingfeng smiled faintly, doing his best to make his voice sound gentler.
When these words fell into Zhu Zhuqing's ears, they seemed to possess some kind of magic. Her flustered, uneasy heart felt reassured and gradually calmed down.
At that moment, in her mind—
There was only the tall, imposing figure before her.
Her heart was sweet, and a happy smile curved her soft lips.
Being able to meet a man willing to shield her from the wind and rain was truly wonderful...
"Your Highness the Holy Son, Zhuqing believes in you!"
Outside the main hall of the Zhu Family.
Zhu Youzhi, the family head, hurried over in panic. When he saw Dai Mubai lying in a pool of blood, he seemed to age considerably in an instant.
He staggered back several steps, staring at Jin Lingfeng as he helped his daughter up from the ground. He cried out sorrowfully:
"Your Highness the Holy Son!"
"What exactly happened here just now?!"
Zhu Zhuqing hurried to her father's side, supporting him as she said excitedly:
"Father, Dai Mubai rushed in just now and tried to attack me."
"His Highness the Holy Son killed him by accident in a fit of rage..."
The moment these words entered Zhu Youzhi's ears, despair filled his eyes as he shouted:
"Your Highness the Holy Son, you were foolish!"
"I know you like Zhuqing and hate the Second Prince, but you still could not have killed him!"
Zhu Youzhi spoke excitedly, trembling violently as he stared at the corpse in the pool of blood.
Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip and hurriedly comforted him:
"Father, His Highness the Holy Son said he has a way to deal with the Star Luo Emperor. The Zhu Family will definitely be all right!"
For a moment, Zhu Youzhi stared at the white-clad figure before him through tearful eyes. The Zhu Family's future survival now rested upon his shoulders!
Jin Lingfeng frowned slightly. Instinctively, he wanted to explain that he did not like Zhu Zhuqing at all. Zhu Youzhi had misunderstood.
However, at that moment—
A terrifying Rank 89 Soul Power swept over them, instantly enveloping the entire hall.
Then, a middle-aged man clad in Emperor Armor arrived before the pool of blood. Seeing Dai Mubai, who had lost an arm and died with his eyes wide open, his eyes turned bloodshot as rage split his heart!
"Mubai!"
"How did you end up like this?!"
"Your father sensed that you were in danger. I never expected to still arrive a step too late!"
The Star Luo Emperor roared furiously. His sharp gaze turned toward Jin Lingfeng before finally landing on Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Zhuqing. He snorted with authority:
"Patriarch Zhu, Mubai encountered danger in the Zhu Family!"
"If you cannot give Us a satisfactory explanation, then wait for the Cold Blood Iron Army to trample the Zhu Family flat!"
Dai Yuanhong's furious words made Zhu Zhuqing even more panicked.
Zhu Youzhi dropped to one knee, about to explain and beg the Star Luo Emperor to show the Zhu Family mercy.
But at that moment, someone held his arm. It was Jin Lingfeng!
"Your Majesty, I killed Dai Mubai."
"This matter has nothing to do with the Zhu Family."
Jin Lingfeng stood before Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Zhuqing, his expression solemn as he spoke.
Suddenly, Dai Yuanhong resembled a crazed beast.
As he lunged at Jin Lingfeng, he roared sinisterly:
"Jin Lingfeng, you have gone too far!"
"You actually killed my younger son, Mubai!"
"Today, I will personally kill you!"
"Even if Bibi Dong appears, she will not be able to stop me!"
The next instant, Dai Yuanhong erupted with his formidable Rank 89 Soul Power, gathering it into his fist and smashing it toward Jin Lingfeng's chest with endless killing intent!
"Your Highness the Holy Son, be careful!"
"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Youzhi cried out in alarm, but it was already too late!
Jin Lingfeng sneered disdainfully. Although his Soul Power was only Rank 43, with the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul and four Million-Year Soul Rings, blocking the other man's attack would not be a problem.
Yet he remained standing where he was, completely unmoved!
At that critical moment, just as Zhu Zhuqing's eyes reddened and the Star Luo Emperor was certain Jin Lingfeng would die—
Two cold male voices rang out from the air:
"Two Extremes Stillness Domain!"
The next moment, a powerful sealing force appeared, sealing Dai Yuanhong's Soul Power and his ability to move!
Then, Yue Guan and Gui Mei appeared beside Jin Lingfeng, both forming hand seals.
Dai Yuanhong was furious beyond measure. He stared fiercely at the two who had appeared and roared:
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, it is you!"
"If you have the guts, release me! Using such sneak attacks is truly despicable!"
Yue Guan sneered as he spoke:
"Your Majesty, you actually dared to attack His Highness the Holy Son. Do you truly wish to start a war with Spirit Hall?!"
Dai Yuanhong, consumed by rage, calmed down slightly. After weighing the situation, he could only temporarily suppress the fury in his heart.
At present, among the three great superpowers of Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall had long surpassed the Two Great Empires in strength. Otherwise, Xue Ye would not have sent Qian Renxue as an envoy to the Star Luo Empire, hoping to form an alliance and jointly resist Spirit Hall...
At that moment, Jin Lingfeng stepped forward and spoke to Dai Yuanhong with a smile:
"Your Majesty, regarding Dai Mubai's death."
"I am willing to offer three top-grade Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones as compensation. Let this matter be put to rest. What does Your Majesty think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he signaled Yue Guan and Gui Mei with his eyes. The two released their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, remaining wary of the Star Luo Emperor.
Dai Yuanhong's expression froze as he snorted and questioned him:
"Jin Lingfeng, the appearance of an ordinary Thousand Year Soul Bone would cause a bloody storm."
"Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones are also scarce and exist only within certain superpowers."
"Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones exist only in legends. You simply cannot produce three of them as compensation!"
At once, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Zhuqing all looked toward Jin Lingfeng, only to see him smile playfully.
The next instant, his head!
His left arm!
His right arm!
His torso!
Four pitch-black Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, containing terrifying pressure, emerged.
That evil aura, as though it stood above all things, made the Star Luo Emperor, Dai Yuanhong, turn pale. The Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul within his body trembled without end, even giving rise to an urge to submit...
