Little Brother, Big Sister Will Take Good Care of You

Wu Qi stood still, his body as straight as a pine, his expression calm.

"Isn't this little trick of yours rather despicable?"

No one would have expected bandits to appear on the official road leading to Heaven Dou City.

After all, by common sense, the closer one was to a major city, the better the public security should be.

It was no wonder the merchants who had stopped here to rest had fallen for the trap so easily.

"Big Sister, let me handle this. This kid is only a Soul Elder." A big man lifted his chin arrogantly.

So what if they had been discovered? Wu Qi was alone and only a Junior Soul Elder. Could he escape their grasp?

To them, Wu Qi stepping forward at this moment only proved that he had some brains, but the outcome was already set.

"No, no, no." The leading woman licked the sharp blade in her hand. "Such a handsome young man is truly rare. I really want to catch him and properly train him."

As she spoke, she took several steps forward. "Little Brother, be good and let Big Sister cripple your cultivation. From then on, Big Sister will take very good care of you."

Wu Qi asked blandly, "So that means I won't have to die?"

He had to admit that this woman had some beauty, but her wolfish behavior was truly disgusting.

The leading woman neither confirmed nor denied it. The flames in her heart could no longer be restrained. Gazing at Wu Qi's face, she looked utterly intoxicated.

Wu Qi suddenly smiled. "Unfortunately, if you won't kill me, I want to kill you."

"Move!"

The leading woman and the men around her froze, their gazes warily sweeping the surroundings.

A minute later, the first thing they heard was not an enemy attack, but Qiangu Changkong's complaining voice. "Brother Wu, your medicine isn't working! They still haven't woken up!"

Wu Qi's expression stiffened.

Could this Detox Powder be fake? Had Yue Guan deliberately given it to him as a joke?

Before he could think further, a large hand grabbed his calf. "Young friend, thank you."

Well then, these people had been pretending to sleep all along.

Several middle-aged men rose to their feet, Soul Rings appearing around them.

One Soul King and three High-level Soul Ancestors!

These four were escorts from their respective merchant caravans. If the Detox Powder had not worked, they might have been murdered in their sleep!

The leading woman was shocked, her face gradually twisting into a savage expression. "What did you do? Why isn't the Bone Marrow Dispersal Powder working?"

Wu Qi appeared calm on the surface, though inwardly he could not help feeling fortunate.

He knew nothing about medicine. He only knew that the ingredients for the Detox Powder were expensive, and that Chrysanthemum Douluo had praised it highly.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly. "You dare murder and rob travelers on an official road. It seems you have no respect for the majesty of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Don't worry. The Heaven Dou Empire will not need to arrest you. We will eliminate you first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the escorts activated their Soul Skills and tangled with the bandits.

Wu Qi grabbed Qiangu Changkong and took advantage of the chaos to flee the inn.

"Brother Wu, go help them!" Qiangu Changkong was frantic with worry.

"Don't let your blood rush to your head. We leave first!" Wu Qi frowned.

Joining that melee would be no different from throwing their lives away.

Their Soul Power Levels were practically the bottom of the barrel among that group.

This was not training. It was a real fight to the death. If they had a chance to escape, why put themselves in danger?

Wu Qi had no time to explain any of this. He simply kept pulling Qiangu Changkong away.

They wanted to leave, but someone did not want them escaping.

Sensing a change in the direction of the Airflow beside him, Wu Qi shoved Qiangu Changkong away and twisted aside at the same time.

An invisible arrow, carrying a piercing whistle through the air, streaked past in front of him.

A Bow and Arrow Martial Soul!

Wu Qi's heart tightened.

He knew this type of Martial Soul all too well.

During his years in Spirit City, Guangling Douluo had often "dragged" him away to train his reaction speed.

Bow and Arrow Martial Souls were classified as Agile Attack System Soul Masters. Their close-combat abilities were far weaker than those of other battle Soul Masters at the same level. Thus, relying on their speed advantage, they would almost change positions after every arrow.

Encountering one in the wilderness was exceptionally troublesome!

After sparring with Guangling Douluo many times, Wu Qi had never once managed to catch his true body.

However, the person attacking from the shadows was far weaker than Guangling Douluo. It was not impossible to find his position!

"Changkong, draw his fire!" Wu Qi shouted.

Qiangu Changkong had quite a few complaints in his heart, but his actions were utterly honest.

The Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul spun in his hand as his body moved in irregular evasive patterns.

Whoosh~

Another invisible arrow shot toward him, but Wu Qi fired a Feather Blade to block it.

At the same time, Wu Qi memorized the direction from which the arrow had come.

As arrows continued to fly in, he roughly calculated the opponent's location based on the directions of his movements.

Crane Cloud Wings and Phoenix Wings overlapped, propelling him at an unimaginable speed!

In the distance, Wang Qing's expression changed drastically. "A mere Soul Elder can actually find my position."

He was a Soul King. To satisfy his twisted sense of amusement, he often broke his prey's will first before delivering the fatal blow.

If he had attacked at full strength from the beginning, Wu Qi and the other boy would undoubtedly have died. Now that his location had been exposed, he could not help feeling uneasy when facing an Agile Attack System battle Soul Elder.

Close combat was not his specialty. And could a Soul Elder capable of finding his position truly be an ordinary Soul Elder?

The white Soul Ring beneath Wang Qing's feet flashed. "First Soul Skill, Shining Arrow."

He drew his bow to its full moon shape. The arrow whistled forth, exploding in midair with dazzling light.

Seeing Wu Qi steadily closing in while no one came to help, he could not help cursing, "Damn Chen Fang, what the hell are you doing?"

The distance was too great. He only knew that fighting had broken out inside the inn, not the current situation.

"Wind Blade!"

Feather Blades filled the sky like iron cavalry charging across the wasteland, rushing toward him with terrifying momentum.

Wang Qing did not dare lower his guard. "Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Seal Arrow."

The arrow struck the ground, and the temperature within a twenty-meter radius suddenly plummeted. Droplets of water in the air condensed before him into a solid wall of ice!

Clang! Clang!

The Feather Blades struck the ice wall, sending ice crystals scattering through the air.

Seeing the ice wall about to shatter, Wang Qing immediately retreated at high speed.

"Fuck, what kind of Soul Elder is this? His attack power doesn't even lose to a low-level Soul Ancestor!"

At the same time, he understood that a youth with such strength had to come from some major power.

If they let him escape, only a dead end awaited their Mountain Stronghold.

Even while retreating, he did not forget to fire cold arrows.

Wu Qi was extremely sensitive to the Airflow. As long as he did not recklessly press forward, ordinary arrows could not threaten him.

Meanwhile, in the High Altitude.

Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong were key targets of the Worship Hall's cultivation. Calling them the Worshippers' successors would not be an exaggeration.

How could no powerful expert be accompanying them when they went out?

Golden Eagle Douluo watched the scene before him, unable to help feeling both absurd and terrified.

A Soul Elder was relentlessly chasing down a Soul King. Was this still the world of Soul Masters he knew?

No matter how weak Wang Qing was at close combat, he was still a Soul King. How could he fear a Soul Elder?

As a Soul Douluo, how could Golden Eagle not understand the reason?

Wang Qing had clearly been intimidated by Wu Qi's momentum. At the same time, the latter's astonishing reaction speed and attack power made him unwilling to clash head-on.

Still, he refused to believe that a Soul Elder could possess a calm combat mentality that did not lose even to a Soul Emperor!
