Thunder Pressure Seals Lin, Su Hang Breaks Through Pursuers in One Move

"Take them? Try it and see."

Xiao Wu tapped her toes against the ground, stepping directly in front of Zhu Zhuqing. The Concealment Talisman tucked inside her collar remained firmly in place.

Commander Zhu raised his arm and waved. The circle of torches immediately pressed forward; several guards in the front lunged toward Ning Chuan, two on the flanks circled toward Zhu Zhuqing, and others in the rear hugged the shadows of the trees, creeping toward Su Hang's retreat path.

Ning Rongrong's palm lit up with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, its radiance falling upon Ning Chuan and the Seven Treasures Guards.

"The Seven Treasures have a name; the first is Speed."

Ning Chuan's speed surged, and he led two guards to block the front.

Ning Rongrong stood at the edge of Su Hang's lightning, her skirt hem stained with mud, yet she did not retreat.

"Don't any of you leave the range of the lightning. If anyone rushes too far out, this young lady won't grant you speed buffs—you can crawl back yourselves."

A Seven Treasures Guard, who had just been about to chase after an enemy, immediately pulled back his step upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll hold the perimeter."

Xiao Wu had already met the flanking spirit masters.

The man tried to circle around her left side, but just as he shifted his footing, Xiao Wu's figure twisted, and her long leg swept toward the side of his knee.

Bang.

The flanking spirit master was kicked back to the edge of the lightning line. As his boot soles touched the dark purple electric light, his leg went numb, and he tumbled headlong into the wet mud.

Xiao Wu landed and brushed off her cuffs.

"What are you running for? You don't even know how to queue up to catch people; the training in your Zhu Family is quite pathetic."

While maintaining the pagoda's light, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but chime in.

"Bunny, your mouth is actually useful today."

Xiao Wu immediately turned her head.

"Don't praise me too early; I haven't settled the score about the seat yet."

Zhu Zhuqing stood half a step behind. The wound on her shoulder had been staunched by medicinal pills, but her movements remained restricted.

Seeing the other flanking spirit master whip out a rope, she did not hide behind Su Hang, but instead rushed out, hugging the edge of the lightning line.

After manifesting the Nether Civet, her speed reached its limit. With a flick of her short dagger, she sliced through the rope aimed at her wrist.

The end of the rope hit the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing pivoted and retreated back into the lightning, utilizing the gap Xiao Wu had kicked open.

Xiao Wu looked on, satisfied.

"Not bad, Zhuqing, you've got guts."

Zhu Zhuqing kept her short dagger at her side, her words sparse.

"I can fight."

Ning Rongrong immediately intensified the pagoda's light upon her.

"Don't collapse after showing off. This young lady's support is expensive; if you use it, stand firm."

Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment.

"Many thanks."

Ning Rongrong gave a light huff.

"Put it on your tab. When we settle accounts with Dai Mubai later, you can pay it back together."

At the edge of the woods, Tang San watched the chaos on the field, his Blue Silver Grass finally emerging from his palm.

He locked his gaze on a Zhu Family pursuer preparing to ambush a Seven Treasures Guard. His yellow spirit ring lit up, and the Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the wet mud.

"I'll control the rear left."

Yu Xiaogang immediately lowered his voice.

"Tang San, keep your rhythm steady. Don't get too close to Su Hang's lightning zone."

Tang San nodded, and the Blue Silver Grass coiled toward the pursuer's ankles.

However, the lightning pressure from Su Hang's feet swept past just then. The dark purple electricity diffused along the muddy ground, triggering the Poison Pattern within the incomplete spirit ring, and the blades of the Blue Silver Grass began to twitch erratically.

Instead of binding the pursuer, the grass leaves curled toward Tang San's own feet.

Tang San shifted his stance, forcibly retracting the Blue Silver Grass into his palm, his sleeve shaking from the effort.

If Xiao Chenyu were here, he would surely have shouted about this being a classic moment.

Ning Rongrong witnessed this scene firsthand, and the pagoda's light flickered.

"Tang San, you'd better stop adding to the chaos of the rescue."

Xiao Wu didn't miss the opportunity either.

"The moment your grass appears, I start worrying for the pursuers—I'm afraid that before you even catch them, you'll lead them astray."

Tang San's expression darkened. He pressed his fingers against his sleeve and did not release the Blue Silver Grass again.

Yu Xiaogang stepped to his side, bracing himself as he spoke.

"Tang San only wanted to help, but the thunder attribute suppression is too strong."

Ning Rongrong immediately retorted.

"Then help from further away, and don't make everyone have to split their focus to see where his grass is running off to."

Commander Zhu no longer had the heart to watch Tang San.

The front was blocked by the Seven Treasures Guard, the flanks were cut off by Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, and the few people at the rear had their legs go numb the moment they stepped into the range of the lightning; the entire formation had been fractured into several segments by the circle of lightning lines Su Hang had laid down.

He let out a low shout, his soul power surging violently.

Shadow Leopard martial soul possessed.

Gray-black beast markings spread along his arms, his figure crouched low, and his feet crushed the wet mud as he lunged straight for Zhu Zhuqing.

"Second Miss, my apologies."

Xiao Wu immediately shifted sideways.

"You still want to get past me?"

Commander Zhu suddenly changed direction under his feet, dodging Xiao Wu's front, and using a tree trunk as a springboard, his body vaulted over from above, heading straight for Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder.

Zhu Zhuqing raised her short dagger, but her injuries slowed her movements.

Ning Rongrong hurriedly raised her pagoda.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, First: Speed."

The pagoda's light had barely fallen when Commander Zhu was already in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

It was at this very step that Su Hang finally moved.

The aura of the Chaos Thunder Shadow Dragon unfolded from within his body.

Dark Purple Lightning spread along the forest floor, gravel danced lightly under the pressure of his soul power, the flames of the torches all sank downward, and the footsteps of the Zhu Family pursuers all slowed by half a beat.

Commander Zhu was in mid-air, his leopard claws already reaching toward Zhu Zhuqing, but his figure was forcibly pinned down by the Thunder Pressure.

Su Hang stepped in front of Zhu Zhuqing, raised his right hand, and pressed his palm, crackling with lightning, downward.

Boom.

Commander Zhu was pressed down from mid-air, his knees slamming into the wet mud, splashing muddy water onto the torch handles in front of him.

The surrounding pursuers were just about to rush up when the lightning lines immediately tightened into a semicircle, forcing them all back outside the torchlight.

Ning Chuan led the Seven Treasures Guard to press forward, using the backs of their blades to knock over two Zhu Family members who hadn't stood firm, though he did not strike with lethal force.

Ning Rongrong felt her heart warm as the pagoda's light held steady.

"Uncle Ning Chuan, don't chase too far; guard Su Hang's lightning circle."

Ning Chuan responded immediately.

"Miss, it is guarded."

Xiao Wu stood beside Zhu Zhuqing, casually pulling her half a step back.

"Don't push yourself; that move you just made was cool enough, but if you keep fighting, you'll collapse."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her, her short dagger slowly lowering.

"I can still hold on."

Xiao Wu snorted.

"Even if you can hold on, listen to the plan; don't steal the main DPS role during a rescue mission."

Ning Rongrong added from across the lightning.

"Rabbit, that sentence almost sounded like something a human would say."

Xiao Wu immediately turned her head.

"You're the one who just started sounding like a human."

Zhu Zhuqing, caught between the two, lowered her dagger completely, and the tension in her shoulders eased slightly.

Outside the circle of torches, Commander Zhu braced himself against the muddy ground to stand, but his shoulders and back were weighed down by the Thunder Pressure.

He gritted his teeth and looked up.

"Su Hang, do you know what you are doing? I am acting under the orders of the Eldest Miss of the Zhu Family, representing the Star Luo Zhu Family to bring back the Second Miss."

Su Hang stood before him, lightning coiling around his feet, without pressing down any further.

"You don't represent the Zhu Family right now."

Commander Zhu's movements stiffened.

Su Hang looked down at him, his tone flat.

"You only represent this group of people I've beaten into the dirt."

Ning Rongrong raised the Seven Treasures Token high on the spot.

"I can vouch for that. If the Zhu Family truly wants to talk, send someone capable of talking, not a pack of chasers."

Xiao Wu followed up with a jab.

"And bringing ropes to a negotiation? Such sincerity."

The Zhu Family guards couldn't hide their embarrassment, and one of them kicked the severed ropes behind him.

Commander Zhu tried to speak, but he realized the surrounding torches had been pushed back by the lightning, and the reinforcements behind him had halted at the tree line, not daring to charge again.

Tang San stood in the distance, his Blue Silver Grass no longer deployed.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the suppressed Commander Zhu, then at Zhu Zhuqing, who had stepped behind Su Hang. He flicked his sleeves back and forth, ultimately finding no appropriate words to say.

Ning Rongrong retracted some of the tower's light; sweat was visible on her forehead, yet she held her chin high.

"Su Hang, what now?"

Su Hang raised his hand and retracted his power.

The Dark Purple Lightning pulled inward from the perimeter, leaving only a few warning lines clinging to the muddy ground.

Once the Zhu Family pursuers regained their mobility, no one dared to take another half-step forward.

Ning Chuan led his men to clear the retreat path, while the Seven Treasures Guard flanked Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Su Hang's back and sheathed her short dagger.

This time, she did not hold her weapon out before everyone.

Commander Zhu rose from the mud, his hem soaked and filthy, his words still laced with resentment.

"Second Miss, if you leave with them today, the Zhu Family will not pretend this never happened."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and finally took half a step forward.

"Tell Zhu Zhuyun that I am going to Shrek."

She paused, standing behind Su Hang, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, but she did not retreat again.

"And tell her that whatever Dai Mubai owes me, I will collect it myself."
