After a teeth-grinding shriek, the silence returned.

Xiao Wu stepped off the chest of the man in black, landing lightly on her feet.

The man's bones were shattered into dozens of pieces, leaving him as limp as a noodle; he spat out bloody froth, his breaths coming in shallow, ragged gasps.

Clearly, even if a healing-type soul master were present, this man would have to be more careful in his next life.

The remaining two men in black were so terrified their souls nearly left their bodies.

This little girl was even more ruthless than that evil Tang San.

Zhu Zhuyun clearly wasn't going to help them, and staying behind was a guaranteed death sentence.

In this situation, it was every man for himself.

The two exchanged a tacit glance and shouted in unison.

"Together! Kill her!"

Before the words had even faded, they greased their heels—one darting left, the other right—and bolted for their lives.

They wished their parents had given them two extra legs.

Xiao Wu had been ready to unleash another Lightning Eight-Fold Kick, but seeing them turn tail and run, her anger flared.

"You think you can get away, you idiots!"

With a sharp cry, she activated her teleportation, chasing after the man who had fled to the left.

The man on the right was overjoyed at the sight.

He prayed silently in his heart: Brother, go in peace. I will carry on your final wishes and live a good life. I'll take care of your wife and daughter for you, and as for your newborn son, I'll send him down to keep you company so you won't be lonely.

Unfortunately, while his thoughts were pleasant, Su Chen had no intention of letting him go.

He was a man who believed in reciprocity.

They had tried to kill him, and now they wanted to just walk away? There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

He stopped slapping the old eunuch, tossed his slipper aside, raised the Wolf Tooth Sword in his hand, and swung it toward the man fleeing to the right.

Skill activated!

The man in black, currently sprinting for his life, suddenly felt his knees go weak.

Thump. He slammed onto the ground.

Then, his body uncontrollably spun one hundred and eighty degrees, facing Su Chen, and began a perfectly smooth slide on his knees.

This bizarre and eerie scene nearly made the other onlooker, the first man in black, wet his pants.

The range of this brat's soul skill is ridiculous! He can force someone to kneel from this far away?!

Thank goodness the Young Miss has such incredible wisdom and didn't make us help. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know how we died.

He swore in his heart that he would listen to the Young Miss from now on.

Taking advantage of Su Chen shifting his focus, the old eunuch, who had been beaten into a pig's head, finally regained his mobility.

His soul power surged wildly; he scrambled to his feet and retreated rapidly.

He no longer had any killing intent toward this evil brat; his mind was filled with only one word: Escape!

Su Chen saw this and scoffed, "Oh? You old eunuch want to run too?"

He twisted his wrist, aiming the sword's edge at the old eunuch.

"Thump!"

The old eunuch hadn't run far before his knees slammed into the ground, and he began sliding toward Su Chen once more.

As Su Chen switched targets, the man in black who had been halfway through his slide found he could move again.

Overjoyed, he thanked his ancestors, scrambled to his feet, and turned to bolt again.

Su Chen shifted his blade.

"Thump..." The man in black didn't get two steps before he was back on his knees, sliding again.

The moment the old eunuch could move, before he could even turn around, Su Chen's blade pointed back at him.

"Thump!" The old eunuch slid toward him once more.

From then on, the Star Dou Forest played host to the most abstract scene in the history of the Douluo Continent.

Su Chen stood there with his sword, pointing left, then pointing right.

The man in black would stand, run two steps, kneel, and slide.

The old eunuch would stand, run two steps, kneel, and slide.

The two of them were like voice-activated toys, switching seamlessly between standing and sliding.

They carved two deep, straight, parallel trenches into the dirt with their knees.

The system notification sound flooded Su Chen's mind incessantly.

[Ding, you have created an extremely abstract moment, gaining 1000 Abstract Value.]

[Ding, you have created an outrageous abstract moment, gaining 1000 Abstract Value.]

Zhu Zhuyun and the others watched this scene, their scalps tingling.

A pervert!

This was absolutely a psychologically twisted pervert!

How could this be a genius? This was clearly one of those legendary Evil Soul Masters who took pleasure in torturing people!

On the other side, Xiao Wu had already caught up to her target.

"Crow Flies the Plane!"

"Tornado Destroys Parking Lot!"

She was currently kicking the man in black like a ball in mid-air, his screams rising one after another.

The two of them were more bizarre than the other.

Zhu Zhuyun was terrified that the freakish boy would turn his blade toward her.

She certainly didn't want to end up kneeling and sliding toward someone with her rear end in the air in front of everyone.

She hurriedly signaled her subordinates to gather, feigning composure as she spat out a threat: "Tang San! We shall meet again, I'll remember you! We're retreating!"

The remaining men in black had been waiting for those words.

The moment they heard the order to flee, they scrambled away as fast as their hands and feet could carry them.

Su Chen, hearing that they dared to threaten him, shrieked at the top of his lungs: "Hehehe! You dare threaten me, Tang San? You have already invited your own death!"

"Behold my Tang Sect ultimate technique: Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, Mother's Embrace!"

Zhu Zhuyun heard "invited your own death" and a string of terms that sounded impressive but incomprehensible, having no idea what they meant.

But her intuition told her they were definitely lethal weapons.

She was filled with regret; if she had known, she wouldn't have bothered with the threats!

"Run! Scatter and run!"

The group scrambled and crawled, running faster than rabbits, and vanished into the depths of the woods in the blink of an eye.

Su Chen was only bluffing; he had no intention of actually pursuing them.

As for the old eunuch and his men who had been left behind, seeing Zhu Zhuyun flee had plunged them into total despair.

Falling into the hands of this evil little brat meant a fate worse than death.

Having had his fun, Su Chen didn't want to waste any more time.

The moment the man in black clamped his hands onto the Wolf Tooth Sword, Su Chen brought his blade down, finishing him off instantly.

Naturally, the old eunuch met the same end.

Seeing this bloody scene, Su Chen's stomach churned slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.

This was his first time killing a person in the true sense of the word.

He didn't let his emotions show on his face; after all, this world was one where the strong preyed on the weak. If he hadn't possessed his rule-based skills, he would have been dead long ago.

After comforting himself internally, Su Chen saw Xiao Wu dragging another man in black back by the collar.

Clearly, this man had followed the same path as the previous one, off to meet his ancestors.

Xiao Wu tossed the man onto the ground and ran over to Su Chen to claim credit: "Boss, wasn't I amazing? I took care of one in no time at all!"

Su Chen gave her a thumbs up: "Well done. I'll give you extra for dinner tonight—two more carrots."

Xiao Wu pouted, protesting: "I don't want carrots, I want meat! I want to eat spicy rabbit head."

"You'd even eat your own kind? How cruel."

"As long as it tastes good, who cares!"

The two interacted as if no one else were around, leaving Zhu Zhuqing, who stood to the side, completely stunned.

Zhu Zhuyun had run away, and she had actually survived just like that?

It was so absurd she was speechless.

Supporting her heavily injured body, she walked up to Su Chen, bowed with great difficulty, and said in a weak but sincere tone: "Thank you, Young Master Tang San, for saving my life. Zhu Zhuqing will never forget this kindness."

"Why are you cursing people?"

As soon as Xiao Wu heard Zhu Zhuqing call her boss Tang San, she became instantly displeased, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at her: "You're the Tang San! Your whole family is that evil brat Tang San!"
