Xiao Wu Defeated, Qian Yu Intervenes

"Oh, a Soul Master?" Ma Hongjun leered at Xiao Wu. Recalling his proud track record, he always felt unsatisfied with ordinary women; in fact, Cuihua was currently struggling to endure his ravages and was planning to break up with him.

Now, seeing Xiao Wu, a beautiful Soul Master, Ma Hongjun's lecherous heart was instantly stirred.

Seeing that Xiao Wu was only about eleven or twelve years old, Ma Hongjun was even more tempted.

"Little sister, let big brother conquer you with force." Ma Hongjun ignored Qian Yu entirely.

Because Qian Yu was watching quietly from the side, he didn't say much.

However, the Desert Eagle was already prepared in his hand, ready to support Xiao Wu at any moment.

After all, Ma Hongjun was a level 27 Soul Grand Master, while Xiao Wu was only a level 25 Soul Grand Master.

Regardless, Xiao Wu was his person, and he was still waiting to rely on her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast origin to keep growing stronger.

"Come forth, Evil Fire Phoenix." Ma Hongjun released his Martial Soul, and a somewhat scruffy, molting phoenix wreathed in bewitching flames rose up behind him.

Two yellow, optimal Spirit Rings appeared along with it.

"I am Ma Hongjun, a 12-year-old Assault-type Soul Grand Master, Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix."

Ma Hongjun was the first to announce his information.

Seeing this posture, Qian Yu knew immediately that a battle with Xiao Wu was about to begin.

Xiao Wu had been feeling stifled for years.

She didn't want to offend Tang San, and she couldn't afford to offend Qian Yu.

It just so happened that a suitable opponent had appeared.

"I am Xiao Wu, a 12-year-old Agility-type Soul Grand Master, Martial Soul: Soft Bone Charm Rabbit."

Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, released her Martial Soul, and likewise lit up two yellow, optimal Spirit Rings.

"Second Spirit Skill: Phoenix Bathing in Fire (Flame Protection)."

Ma Hongjun used his second spirit skill first to protect himself, preventing Xiao Wu from using her Waist Bow skill to ambush him again.

Although Xiao Wu's Waist Bow hadn't been fatal just now, it had left Ma Hongjun with a painful impression.

"Second Spirit Skill: Charm."

Facing the terrifying flames of Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix, Xiao Wu felt a tremor deep within her soul.

Soul Beasts feared fire, and the phoenix was one of the top-tier beast Martial Souls.

The Soft Bone Charm Rabbit was at the very bottom of the Soul Beast food chain; this was a fear originating from the depths of her soul.

Even so, Xiao Wu was, after all, a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

In an instant, she launched her second spirit skill, Charm, at Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun was instantly hard-controlled for 3 seconds.

But facing the terrifying phoenix flames, Xiao Wu could only stare helplessly; releasing Charm had consumed a massive amount of her Soul Power.

When Ma Hongjun regained his senses, he felt a wave of lingering fear, but then he saw Xiao Wu's flustered and helpless appearance.

Ma Hongjun immediately seized the opportunity.

"First Spirit Skill: Phoenix Fireline (Single-target blast)!" Terrifying flames, like a venomous snake, were fired madly from the mouth of Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix, rushing toward Xiao Wu.

"Hmph, little girl, you brought this on yourself." Fearing he would ruin Xiao Wu's face, Ma Hongjun deliberately aimed the Phoenix Fireline slightly off-center.

"Ah." Facing the terrifying ray of the Evil Fire Phoenix, Xiao Wu felt the fear of death for the first time.

Tears flowed involuntarily from the corners of her eyes.

Her eyelids closed slowly, her heart filled with bitterness: Mother, I won't be able to avenge you.

Just as Ma Hongjun was about to succeed and Xiao Wu was resigning herself to her fate, Qian Yu finally moved.

Using Spirit Detection to observe every movement on the field, he activated his second spirit skill—Sky Full of Dancing Bullets. A purple Spirit Ring lit up, the 98k was in hand, and bullets fired with the recoil of the muzzle, heading straight for Xiao Wu.

"Huh?" Ma Hongjun was dumbfounded.

He didn't understand why Qian Yu would attack Xiao Wu, his own person, instead of attacking him, the outsider.

But the bullets were too fast, giving Ma Hongjun no time to react.

Qian Yu whispered in his heart: "Explode."

The terrifying explosion created a sonic boom that blasted Xiao Wu away, while simultaneously knocking the approaching Ma Hongjun flying.

"Hmm. Am I dead? Mother, I'm coming. My body hurts so much."

At this moment, Xiao Wu lay weakly on the ground, slowly opening her eyes, her heart filled with sorrow.

"If you're not dead, get up."

Qian Yu stepped forward, lifted Xiao Wu, and pulled her into his arms.

Only then did Xiao Wu wake up. Seeing Qian Yu holding her, she let out a soft squeak, her face turning as red as an apple.

"You."

Xiao Wu understood now, Qian Yu had saved her.

Qian Yu put away his 98k, his martial soul returning to the Desert Eagle.

He pointed the Desert Eagle at Ma Hongjun with one hand, while holding Xiao Wu with the other.

Lying in Qian Yu's embrace, Xiao Wu suddenly looked up, seeing Qian Yu's incredibly handsome face, full of masculine charm, from below.

Unknowingly, her heart began to beat rapidly.

Seeing Xiao Wu awake, Qian Yu coldly put her aside.

Feeling the sudden warmth missing from her body, Xiao Wu got slightly angry: "What a blockhead, such an unromantic fellow."

As for Ma Hongjun, he was sent flying backward by Qian Yu's surprise attack, taking a long time to stabilize himself.

He looked at the Desert Eagle martial soul in Qian Yu's hand.

Ma Hongjun felt a sense of dread.

But he still stubbornly shouted: "Kid, state your name, I, Ma Hongjun, don't fight unknown opponents."

"I, Qian Yu, 15 years old, level 39 Soul Elder, martial soul: Desert Eagle."

Qian Yu helplessly reported his martial soul information.

"What? 15 years old, a level 39 Soul Elder." This time it was Ma Hongjun's turn to be shocked.

"You, you, you." Ma Hongjun's face turned red.

He glanced at the little girl in the corner, then at Xiao Wu beside him.

Ultimately, lust clouded his judgment.

He actually wanted to challenge Qian Yu across levels.

"Second Spirit Skill (Yellow): Phoenix Bathing in Fire (Flame Body Protection)."

Ma Hongjun didn't dare to be careless and immediately released his second spirit skill.

He then released his first spirit skill – Phoenix Fireline.

He wanted to defeat Qian Yu with the phoenix flames.

But it was clear that Ma Hongjun had miscalculated.

Qian Yu was a soul master who attacked comprehensively at long, medium, and short ranges.

Using Spirit Detection to scan the entire area, he fired a few shots with the Desert Eagle to scare Ma Hongjun. Although the intensity of these attacks couldn't even withstand the phoenix flames and would melt on contact, Qian Yu, with his level 39 Soul Elder speed burst, quickly created distance.

Then he released his third spirit skill: "Metal Storm." The AK47 fired bullets.

The bullets, carrying blades, attacked Ma Hongjun like a storm, mixed with phoenix flames.

Ma Hongjun only thought the attack was similar to the Desert Eagle's bullets.

He didn't know that the third spirit skill had armor-piercing properties.

The terrifying bullets easily broke through Ma Hongjun's flame armor.

Just as the bullets were about to hit Ma Hongjun, he used his first spirit skill, creating a recoil force from the ground to cleverly dodge Qian Yu's attack.

"Hmm."

Qian Yu was quite surprised by this.

But it was only for a moment. Qian Yu switched his martial soul form again, his second spirit skill, a purple spirit ring lit up, and the 98k appeared in his hand.

Precision Sniping.

The bullet was fired. Ma Hongjun thought it was the same as the bullets from the AK47 and Desert Eagle and used his first spirit skill to dodge again.

Qian Yu smiled slightly.

"Explode." Qian Yu willed it, and the 98k bullet created a huge explosion at the position just before it hit Ma Hongjun.

The explosion generated a shockwave.

Although Ma Hongjun dodged the direct attack of the bullet, he was still uncomfortable from the shockwave generated by the bullet's explosion.

Seeing Qian Yu about to raise his gun and shoot again, Ma Hongjun immediately used the Evil Fire Phoenix's flight ability, using the leverage from being blown away by Qian Yu earlier, and flew towards the horizon.

As he left, he didn't forget to provoke Qian Yu: "Kid, you've courted death by offending someone from my Shrek."
