A Tacit Coordination

A Tacit Coordination

Taishi Ming was closer to Zhirou, so he arrived outside Zhang Xiaoyu's room first.

He happened to see Tian Ya standing there.

Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming's hearts tightened. They had already concluded that Zhang Xiaoyu had likely fallen into the enemy's hands.

Still, despite her suspicions, Dai Zhirou shouted, "Who are you? Why are you here? Where is Xiaoyu?!"

Rather than panicking at the sight of Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming, Tian Ya looked excited. "A boy and a girl—the boy is seven or eight, and the girl is seventeen or eighteen. Tsk, tsk, you're the ones who roasted Bu Le's little bird, right? You're young, but you're pretty ruthless!"

"Roasted little bird?"

Dai Zhirou did not understand at first. When she did, her face flushed red.

She shot Taishi Ming a glare. She had not known about that.

But with that blush, she became even more breathtakingly beautiful.

Tian Ya could not help swallowing.

"Heh, Bu Le's injuries were worth it, then. Little lady, come with your big brother tonight! That little brat beside you hasn't even grown all his hair yet. He definitely can't let you experience the pleasures between a man and a woman."

Killing intent instantly appeared on Dai Zhirou's face.

However, Taishi Ming was even angrier. He flung the longsword in his hand, sending it shooting straight at Tian Ya.

Tian Ya could not help laughing. "Do you think we're playing house? You're actually attacking a Soul Master with an ordinary broken sword?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and activated his Soul Power before swiping it away.

The sword was immediately knocked back!

But in the next instant, a cold glint made Tian Ya's hairs stand on end.

Decades of combat experience made his body react faster than his thoughts.

He instinctively twisted to the side.

Whoosh!

The cold glint flashed past, leaving a bone-deep wound on his arm.

Tian Ya's heart pounded with fear. If he had reacted any slower, it would have pierced his heart.

"What a devious scheme. That ordinary longsword was only bait, while the attack hidden beneath it was your true killing move!"

"I almost fell for it! Tell me, brat, how do you want to die?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Ya immediately released his martial soul. A pitch-black dagger appeared in his hand.

At the same time, five soul rings rose from his body—one white, two yellow, and two purple.

A five-ring Soul King!

Dai Zhirou was somewhat surprised by this.

"Tsk, tsk! Tian Ya, seriously? How did you even get injured?"

E Kao walked out of the room!

Zhang Yu'er was slung over his shoulder!

He had also released his martial soul. His entire body resembled a black, long-legged goose.

Like Tian Ya, he was also a five-ring Soul King, though his soul ring configuration was better: one white, one yellow, and three purple.

Another five-ring Soul King!

Birds of a feather flocked together. That Bu Le was probably a Soul King as well!

With strength like this, they could have secured decent positions and treatment anywhere, yet they insisted on committing evil deeds!

The killing intent in Dai Zhirou's eyes was no longer concealed.

E Kao gave a lecherous grin. "Tsk, tsk! What a fiery temper. But I like it!"

After saying that, he handed Zhang Yu'er over to Tian Ya. "Brother, let's make a deal. You can have the hotel owner's daughter, and this gorgeous beauty in front of us belongs to—"

Before he could finish, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Because Dai Zhirou had also released her martial soul, transforming into a half-human, half-spider form. At the same time, five soul rings rose from her body—two yellow, two purple, and one black.

"I—"

Tian Ya and E Kao's expressions changed drastically!

Although they had learned from Bu Le that these two were likely Soul Masters, they had never taken it seriously, especially when Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou stood before them.

They were too young. At that age, even geniuses would only be Soul Elders. At most, they might be Soul Ancestors!

What could they possibly amount to before two Soul Kings?

But now, standing before them was a Soul King of equal strength.

This was unbelievable.

At the same time, wariness appeared on their faces.

E Kao and Tian Ya exchanged glances, each seeing intense killing intent in the other's eyes.

They were not fools. A super genius like this definitely had a powerful force backing her. Under normal circumstances, they would never provoke someone like that.

But now that they had already done so, they might as well see it through!

"They moved!"

Tian Ya struck first. His first soul ring lit up. "First Soul Ring Skill—Flying Blades of Death!"

The dagger in his hand split into three, shooting toward Taishi Ming.

E Kao's second soul ring lit up as well. "Second Soul Skill—Demonic Mist Veils the Body!"

Black mist appeared, then vanished, and E Kao disappeared along with it.

When he reappeared, he was already behind Taishi Ming, clawing toward the back of his head.

Taishi Ming's eyes flashed, and a faint sneer appeared on his face. "Attacking what the enemy must save?"

That was right. They had chosen to attack Taishi Ming in order to force Dai Zhirou, the Soul King they feared, to rescue him.

That way, Dai Zhirou would be led around by the nose.

She would not be able to use her full strength.

Taishi Ming silently recited, "Soul Bone Skill—Sword Thrust!"

The Seven Sha Sword instantly appeared in his hand, aimed at Tian Ya, and he shot forward like an arrow.

The three flying blades Tian Ya had launched were immediately sent flying away.

"Hah!"

Tian Ya had never expected this seven- or eight-year-old brat to be so fearless.

He actually charged straight into danger!

And easily broke through his attack!

He was also incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, the sword tip had already reached his face.

It was too late to dodge!

Tian Ya gritted his teeth and directly used Zhang Yu'er as a shield, blocking the attack with her body.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Taishi Ming could only stop his attack. But with a flash, he entered Zhang Yu'er's room. This left Tian Ya and E Kao blocked in the corridor.

Tian Ya was safe for the moment, but E Kao was even more frightened. Originally, he had intended to capture Taishi Ming and use him to threaten Dai Zhirou.

He had not expected Taishi Ming, who had practically been in his grasp, to suddenly charge toward Tian Ya.

That left him here alone, facing Dai Zhirou's icy gaze that seemed capable of freezing a person solid.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Dai Zhirou's second soul ring lit up. "Second Soul Skill: Giant Poisonous Ground Web!"

It had to be said that in such a relatively enclosed space, this move was simply invincible!

In a single breath, spiderwebs covered the entire floor of the passageway, leaving no room to evade.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The soles beneath Tian Ya and E Kao's feet immediately corroded, burning straight through their shoes.

Then came their feet!

"Aah!"

The two cried out in agony together.

At this, Taishi Ming smiled faintly. He had long expected Dai Zhirou to use this move. That was another reason he had entered the room.
