Those Who Kill Shall Be Killed!

As Zhou Chen slowly approached, intent on taking Dai Mubai's life, everyone in the hotel lobby was stunned.

Dai Mubai's double pupils widened instantly in terror. Though inwardly frightened, he shouted fiercely, "I am the Third Imperial Son of the Star Luo Empire! If you dare kill me, the Star Luo Royal Family will never let you off!"

"Heh, you make it sound as if the Star Luo Royal Family wouldn't send people to kill me if I spared you."

Zhou Chen sneered. Stopping three meters in front of Dai Mubai, he said in a low voice, "You scumbag, Dai Mubai, my name is Zhou Chen—the Chen from Star Dust. Ever since I was six years old, your Star Luo Royal Family has been sending people to assassinate me!"

"So your threat is completely fucking useless."

"You..."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai was instantly overcome with terror. "You're the one who caused that heavenly phenomenon..."

"Correct. Too bad your reward is death."

Zhou Chen chuckled. "Oh, right. I heard your elder brother, Dai Weisi, wants you dead. Maybe if I kill you, he'll even thank me for it!"

With that, Zhou Chen raised a hand and clenched it into a fist. Golden light surged over his knuckles!

"Zhou Chen!"

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly called out. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and hesitation, as though she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Though she hated Dai Mubai for running away, hated his cowardice, selfishness, and debauchery, they had known each other since childhood. She simply could not bear to watch him die before her eyes.

Yet the instant Zhou Chen turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai stomped hard against the ground. Like an arrow released from a bow, he shot through the hotel doors in an instant, fleeing so fast that even his silhouette vanished.

Seeing Dai Mubai escape, Zhu Zhuqing let out a sigh of relief. Zhou Chen, however, did not pursue him.

There was no need. He had long since arranged for members of Purple Micro Palace to wait outside the hotel and intercept Dai Mubai.

The reason Zhou Chen had wasted so many words on Dai Mubai just now, even deliberately turning around when Zhu Zhuqing called out to him, was to give Dai Mubai a chance to escape.

That way, he would not have to dirty his hands in public or tarnish his pure and spotless reputation.

Besides, people were not made of wood or stone—how could they be without feelings? If he killed Dai Mubai here, Zhu Zhuqing would surely develop a serious psychological shadow. It might even cause Zhou Chen's pursuit of her to end in failure.

It was better to release this evil tiger outside and slaughter it somewhere nobody could see!

"All right, Zhuqing. I spared him—for you."

Zhou Chen turned around and gazed at Zhu Zhuqing with deep affection in his eyes. His tone was sincere, so convincing it seemed true.

"Th... thank you."

Confessed to in front of everyone, Zhu Zhuqing blushed deeply. Yet she still bravely met Zhou Chen's gaze and accepted his feelings.

She had always been a girl who dared to love and hate!

"Get together! Get together!"

Seeing the two successfully become a couple, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu immediately began cheering excitedly. Tang San, along with the other hotel guests and attendants, also looked at Zhou Chen with admiration and clapped in blessing!

Everything was as beautiful as a painting, except for Dai Mubai, who was fleeing for his life...

At this moment, Dai Mubai did not even dare take the main roads. He chose only narrow side streets, hoping to evade Zhou Chen's possible pursuit.

Moreover, Flander, the headmaster of Shrek Academy, had a pawnshop in Suotuo City. Escaping through the side streets would get him there faster.

Dai Mubai believed that Headmaster Flander would certainly protect him!

However, when Dai Mubai fled into another long, narrow alley, he faintly sensed that something was wrong.

There was not a single person in the alley, and it was unnaturally quiet!

From his experience, there was definitely an ambush here!

"Who are you? Come out!"

Dai Mubai spoke coldly, a chill rising in his heart.

At the moment, one of his arms had suffered a comminuted fracture, while his chest and lungs were severely injured. He could not even wield thirty percent of his strength.

"Quite vigilant, aren't you?"

A cold voice rang out. The next moment, more than ten Soul Masters dressed in white robes and purple cloaks, with Big Dipper emblems on their chests, sealed every entrance and exit of the alley. There were even people watching from the rooftops.

Standing before Dai Mubai was a pale yet handsome young man clad in a blood-red cloak.

The young man elegantly placed a hand over his chest and bowed, though his voice remained icy. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Xiao Chenyu, commander of the Tian Ji Guard under Purple Micro Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, five Soul Rings slowly rose beneath Xiao Chenyu's feet: one white, one yellow, two purple, and one black!

"A Soul King!!"

Despair filled Dai Mubai's heart. He had never expected that this young man, who was only a few years older than himself, would be a Soul King above level 50!!

What Dai Mubai did not know was that only a few days earlier, Xiao Chenyu had merely been a level 47 Soul Ancestor. It was only by relying on the Blood Demon Art Zhou Chen had bestowed upon him that he had surged to level 50. After obtaining a Ten Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he had officially become a level 51 Soul King!

"Who sent you to kill me? Was it that man from before? Or my brother, Dai Weisi?"

Leaning against the wall, Dai Mubai shouted despairingly.

"Why ask so clearly? Those who kill shall be killed. Your Star Luo Royal Family is tyrannical and cold-blooded, hunting down even children. You should have been prepared to face retribution at any time!"

Xiao Chenyu sneered. Without another word, he activated the Blood Demon Art and struck instantly!

Today, he finally had a legitimate reason to drink his fill of human blood! And it was the blood of the Evil Eye White Tiger from a member of the Star Luo Royal Family!

Once he absorbed Dai Mubai's precious bloodline, his Soul Power would surely rise by several more levels!
