An Encounter with the Shrek Seven Devils—Enemies Truly Had a Way of Crossing Paths

The instant the doll was thrown out, a massive explosion erupted.

Blazing flames burst forth, instantly setting the entire Sect Master Hall ablaze.

Ning Fengzhi immediately summoned his Martial Soul Avatar to shield himself.

He piled every soul skill he had onto his own body.

However, because most of his Soul Power had already been absorbed by that doll, his strength was now drastically diminished.

He had less than a tenth of his former power left.

Even with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's buffs fully activated, he could not hold on for even a moment.

Just as his Martial Soul Avatar was about to shatter, a cold sword aura suddenly swept into the hall.

It enveloped the flames of the explosion before finally compressing them into a ball.

"Sect Master, are you alright?"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin hurried to Ning Fengzhi's side, his face full of concern.

When he saw that Ning Fengzhi's shoulder had already been scorched by the flames, his heart jolted.

After all, even as a support-type Soul Master, Ning Fengzhi was still a level seventy-nine Soul Sage.

What kind of thing could actually injure his physical body with an explosion?

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, then looked fearfully at the doll lying on the ground.

That little thing was actually this powerful. Even a Soul Sage like him had nearly fallen victim to it.

Of course, it was also possible that the more Soul Power the doll absorbed, the stronger the explosion became.

And as a Soul Sage, Soul Power had long ceased to be the factor limiting his strength.

The amount of Soul Power he possessed was practically limitless.

That was why this Bomb had been so powerful that it could even injure a Soul Sage's body.

Still, even so, this thing was extremely dangerous.

Since one had appeared here, there had to be others within the sect who still had them.

"Sect Master, you're injured. Should we have a healing-type Soul Master treat and bandage you first?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, his gaze fixed viciously on the doll on the floor.

"No. Go notify everyone in the sect immediately. Rongrong's gift is extremely dangerous—if anyone finds one, they must stay away from it."

"Damn it! Our Rongrong must have been used by someone as a tool against our sect!"

Upon hearing this, a chilling killing intent instantly erupted around Chen Xin.

Ning Rongrong was the child he doted on most. He would never allow anyone to use her!

He immediately summoned a Flying Sword and rode it into the air.

"Please rest assured, Sect Master. I will definitely root out the bastard who deceived our Rongrong."

Meanwhile, outside the mountain gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Lu Jiang and Sparkle had just looted the sect's accumulated treasures and were now leaving with a full haul.

Sparkle had also handed out all the gifts and had returned to her original appearance.

"Before long, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be blown into the sky."

"Well? Aren't I good to you, Little Grey Hair?"

Lu Jiang was still immersed in the joy of their bountiful gains. Upon hearing Sparkle's voice, he quickly began flattering her.

"Of course, of course. As expected of Lady Sparkle—doing with ease what others could never accomplish."

"Once we get back, I'll make you a proper feast to make it up to you."

At those words, Sparkle's eyes suddenly shifted.

She had sensed a group of people approaching from nearby.

One of them was even an old acquaintance.

Sparkle immediately revealed a teasing expression.

"That's not how rewards work. I want something else."

With that, Sparkle leaned directly toward Lu Jiang's face.

However, at that very moment, a scream suddenly rang out from nearby.

Startled, Lu Jiang quickly pulled away.

Then he saw several familiar figures.

The Shrek Seven Devils.

He had not expected to run into them here!

When Zhu Zhuqing saw Lu Jiang, a surprised expression appeared on her face.

"It was you!"

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing curiously and asked, "What, you know him?"

"It was you!!!"

Before Zhu Zhuqing could speak, Tang San beside her had already shouted through gritted teeth.

Judging from the fury on his face, there was no doubt that the person before them was the one who had injured him and Xiao Wu.

"No way, you know him too?"

Dai Mubai was completely unable to make sense of the situation.

However, at that moment, something even more explosive happened.

Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and pointed at Lu Jiang.

"Lu Jiang! You scumbag. We only broke up not long ago, and you've already found two more!"

"Perfect. When I return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time, I'll definitely have my father teach all of you a lesson!"

Ning Rongrong then looked at Sparkle beside him.

Clearly, she was not the same woman who had beaten her up last time.

Dai Mubai was utterly bewildered.

"Wait, my head's a mess."

"Rongrong, this is the boyfriend you mentioned before—the one who dumped you, right?"

Ning Rongrong nodded, burning with rage.

Dai Mubai then turned to Tang San and asked, "Little San, this is also the person who injured you and Xiao Wu at the restaurant, right?"

Tang San stared at Lu Jiang with a sinister gaze and slowly nodded.

Then Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief.

"Then Zhuqing, don't tell me this is the big shot you mentioned before, the one who instantly killed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast?"

Although Zhu Zhuqing had not figured out the situation either, she still nodded.

Dai Mubai turned away and hugged Ma Hongjun, looking as though he had a splitting headache.

"Heh heh, this world really is small."

Tang San took a step forward and said to Lu Jiang, "What a coincidence, running into you here."

"Perfect. I'll make you repay every bit of the humiliation I suffered at that restaurant last time!"

"Killing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast is all you've done. With the Shrek Seven Devils together, it's not as though we can't do that."

"There's nothing to fear."

Hearing that, Dai Mubai stepped to the front of the group with a confident expression.

"Sorry, you may be strong, but you bullied my brother, Dai Mubai. I can't let you leave so easily today."

However, at that moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised her hand and said coldly, "Don't count me in. He saved my life, after all."

"I can't raise my blade against him."

Ma Hongjun said in disbelief, "Zhuqing, you need to be clear about where you stand."

"This guy hit Third Brother. How can you still protect someone who hurt our companion, Zhuqing?"

However, Zhu Zhuqing replied with the same cold expression, "I have always judged matters, not people."

"I don't object if you want revenge against him, but he showed me kindness, and I won't raise my blade against him either."

Tang San felt somewhat awkward. After all, the one with a grudge against Lu Jiang was him, and he could not force others to stand up for him.

So Tang San looked at Lu Jiang again and said, "Even if we're one person short, it'll still be more than enough."

"Today, I will wash away my humiliation."

"Brothers, prepare for battle!"

The moment Tang San finished speaking, everyone's martial souls flashed into existence behind them.

Meanwhile, at Seven Treasure, a bomb crisis was about to unfold.

The number of bombs Sparkle had planted there

was enough to blow Seven Treasure to pieces.
