Zhu Zhuqing's Soft Heart

Zhu Zhuqing's Soft Heart

But he had not been happy for long before Yin Hao continued.

"Hey... don't be in such a hurry..."

The Soul Ancestor was somewhat confused and spoke again.

"Is there anything else you wish to say, sir?"

Yin Hao waved his hand.

"You misunderstand. What I mean is... wouldn't it be fine as long as the Star Luo Zhu Family doesn't know I did it?"

A bad feeling immediately rose in the Soul Ancestor's heart, but he still asked.

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

Yin Hao chuckled.

"I mean, if I kill all of you... then the Star Luo Zhu Family won't find out, right?"

Without wasting another word, the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul emerged. Two yellow and one purple soul rings instantly rose around Yin Hao.

Given their strength, they definitely could not see through the disguise ability of the Blue Silver Domain. Thus, all they saw were two yellow and one purple soul rings.

To be honest, the instant the Soul Ancestor saw that Yin Hao only had three soul rings, he relaxed greatly. Then came boundless fury. A mere Soul Elder had toyed with them for so long—if word got out, how could he ever show his face again?

The other lackeys beside him could no longer stand it either. When had the Quanxing Seven Fiends ever been provoked like this, especially by such a lowly Soul Elder?

At that thought, Lao Si, the most hot-tempered among them, charged forward directly.

Yin Hao did not waste words either. His second soul ring instantly lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Blue Silver Cage!"

Yin Hao's second soul ring came from a seven-hundred-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider. However, through Yin Hao's unremitting efforts over the past few years, it had been raised to eleven hundred years.

As Yin Hao shouted, several Blue Silver Grass vines bearing golden patterns instantly appeared beneath Lao Si's feet, surrounding him from every direction. Lao Si froze for a moment, then gave a disdainful laugh. A few strands of Blue Silver Grass wanted to trap him? They were underestimating him too much.

With that thought, he raised his Long Blade Martial Soul. One white, one yellow, and one purple soul ring instantly appeared.

"Third Soul Skill, Mad Blade Slash!"

The power of a thousand-year soul ring was indeed formidable, but unfortunately, his Long Blade Martial Soul was merely an ordinary long blade. He only managed to cut through half a Blue Silver Emperor vine before he could no longer move it.

The very next second after he unleashed his soul skill, the Blue Silver Domain fully took shape. A cage formed of Blue Silver Emperor vines directly enclosed Lao Si within it.

Yin Hao had no intention of letting him off just like that. His third soul ring lit up again.

"Third Soul Skill, Ice Dragon Skill!"

Upon hearing Yin Hao unleash another soul skill, Lao Si, trapped within the Blue Silver Cage, instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Sure enough, as Yin Hao shouted, countless Blue Silver Grass vines carrying a chilling aura burst from the ground and rapidly wove themselves into a massive ice dragon in midair.

The others standing behind had already sensed trouble when Yin Hao used the Blue Silver Cage to trap Lao Si. The moment the ice dragon appeared, the six behind him exchanged glances. Without saying anything, they hurried forward and stood in front of Lao Si.

Leaving aside everything else, the sheer size of the ice dragon was overwhelmingly imposing. More than six meters long and as wide as two people embracing, it sent chills down one's spine.

The six did not dare be careless and immediately unleashed their defensive soul skills.

"Third Soul Skill, Spirit Turtle Guard!"

"Second Soul Skill, Silver Wolf Shield!"

"Third Soul Skill, Black Gorilla Defense!"

Yin Hao had no interest in waiting for them to finish casting their defensive soul skills one by one before attacking. This was not a turn-based game.

So, before they had fully unleashed their soul skills, he waved his hand, and the ice dragon roared as it charged forward.

If they had stayed where they were to unleash their soul skills, they certainly would have been able to finish casting them. But that would have meant abandoning Lao Si, who was still ahead of them.

Before their soul skills could be completed, Yin Hao shattered them. The six spat out blood in unison, their bodies collapsing uncontrollably.

As the only Soul Ancestor, the eldest brother should have suffered the least damage. However, he had voluntarily taken part of the damage for his younger brothers, so his injuries were not light either.

"Big Brother! Second Brother..."

Seeing this scene, Lao Si's eyes reddened. He desperately hacked at the Blue Silver Cage with his Long Blade Martial Soul, but it was useless.

Yin Hao was momentarily stunned, but his movements did not stop. Enemies were enemies, after all. Until they put down their blades, he would not show mercy because of anything they did.

"Don't... p-please spare them..."

Just as Yin Hao was about to continue attacking, a weak female voice came from behind him.

Yin Hao turned to look. Zhu Zhuqing had already slowly risen to her feet, supporting herself against a tree.

"Oh? Miss, they were just trying to kill you."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. Rather than answering Yin Hao's question, she looked at the Soul Ancestor lying on the ground.

"Uncle Li, this is the last time I'll call you Uncle Li. No matter what, you did take good care of me when I was little. From now on, all ties between us are severed."

The people lying on the ground were all stunned, especially the Soul Ancestor. A shocked expression appeared on his face. Then, after giving Zhu Zhuqing a grateful look, he turned his gaze toward Yin Hao.

Yin Hao smiled faintly and looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Miss, have you thought this through? I have no grudge against them. I only intervened because I happened upon an injustice. But they were trying to kill you—are you really going to let them go just like that?"

Zhu Zhuqing raised her face and looked at Yin Hao.

"Th... thank you. But this was not their intention. Please spare them this once."

Since even the person involved had said so, what else could Yin Hao say?

He withdrew his Soul Power, and the Blue Silver Cage trapping Lao Si vanished in an instant. Eyes reddened, Lao Si gripped his blade and charged at Yin Hao, ready to fight him to the death, but fortunately, the eldest stopped him.

In the end, he could only shoot Yin Hao a resentful glance before helping the fallen men to their feet. After giving them some healing medicine, he slowly led them away.

"Th... thank you..."

It seemed those few words had exhausted the last of her strength. After saying them, Zhu Zhuqing fainted outright.

Yin Hao hurried forward to catch her. Looking at her pale face, he shook his head. Soft-hearted, kind, sentimental—how could someone like that be suited to fighting for power and profit?

But...

Yin Hao looked in the direction the others had left. By now, they had completely vanished from sight.

He then looked up and waved toward the empty sky.

A sexy beauty dressed in red appeared in an instant. It was Neon Phoenix Douluo.

Upon seeing Yin Hao, Neon Phoenix first gave him a bow.

"Greetings, Holy Son."

Yin Hao smiled.

"Why are you being so formal again, Sister Neon Phoenix? Didn't I say it already? I'll call you Sister, and you can call me Little Brother."

Neon Phoenix glanced at Yin Hao, and a smile appeared on her face. Though she looked no more than twenty-something, with skin even more delicate than that of an eighteen-year-old girl, her true age was already fifty or sixty.

But no woman would ever admit she was old. Hearing Yin Hao address her like that, she readily agreed.

"Sister Neon Phoenix, those people have already taken me as their enemy. It's inconvenient for me to act right now, so help me deal with them..."

Neon Phoenix looked at Zhu Zhuqing lying in Yin Hao's arms, nodded, and vanished.

As for Yin Hao, he carried Zhu Zhuqing back toward his tent.
