The hidden weapon Zhuge Repeating Crossbow: Ning Rongrong kills Xue Beng
In Heaven Dou City, Vermilion Bird Street Heaven Dou City the main thoroughfare running north to south, always bustling with people and traffic.
Shrek and his friends were enthusiastically moving through the crowd.
"Wow! Heaven Dou City is definitely more lively Suotuo City! And the quality of the beauties is much higher too." Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up as he drooled over the female passersby.
"Fatty, don't act like you've never seen anything like this before," Dai Mubai with a look of disdain.
As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai felt that Star Luo City was not much worse than Heaven Dou City.
Ning Rongrong walked at the front of the group. The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was very familiar with Heaven Dou City.
"The pastries at that Jade Pavilion are so delicious! I buy a few boxes every time I come to Heaven Dou City," Ning Rongrong said, pointing to an elegantly decorated pastry shop on the street corner.
"Rongrong, you seem to know Heaven Dou City very well." Xiao Wu, holding Tang San's arm, looked around curiously.
"Of course! When I was little, I often came to Heaven Dou City with Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone. I don't know how many times I've walked this street."
The best silk shop in Heaven Dou City is in that alley, the best jewelry shop is around the corner, and the best restaurant...
Tang San followed behind, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the surrounding crowd, but in reality, he took everyone who approached them into his observation.
Meanwhile, Xue Beng also took to the streets. As the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, he had not had a comfortable life these past few years.
My eldest brother Xue Qinghe, is so outstanding that our father has poured almost all his attention and resources into him.
In order to avoid Xue Beng his elder brother's suspicion, Xue Beng had no choice but to pretend to be a spoiled brat all day long, indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun while being ignorant and incompetent.
After pretending for so long, sometimes even he himself can't tell which parts are fake and which are real.
But one thing is clear to Xue Beng —he is genuinely a womanizer.
Prince Xue Xing scolded him many times for this problem, but he just couldn't change it.
He had visited almost every brothel in Heaven Dou City, and kept more than a dozen concubines in his mansion, but every time he saw a beautiful girl, he still couldn't control his eyes, let alone his legs.
Xue Beng, accompanied by a few bodyguards, strolled leisurely down Vermilion Bird Street.
"Your Highness, which house shall we go to today?" a weasel-faced attendant asked obsequiously.
"Just browsing." Xue Beng casually fanned himself, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. "I heard a few new shops have opened recently, let's see if there's anything new or interesting."
Just then, a middle-aged man in a gray long gown squeezed through the crowd, leaned close to Xue Beng's ear, and whispered a few words.
Xue Beng's eyes lit up instantly.
"Really? Where?"
"It's right ahead, Your Highness, look!" The man in gray pointed towards the street corner.
Following the direction he was pointing, Xue Beng looked through the bustling crowd and landed on a tall, slender girl.
The girl was wearing a tight black leather outfit that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.
Her face was cold and exquisite, and her long, black hair was tied up high, revealing her slender, fair neck.
What was most striking was the astonishing curve of her chest, which rose and fell slightly with her steps, making Xue Beng's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
"Excellent! Absolutely excellent!" Xue Beng swallowed hard, his eyes burning with intense desire.
He spent his days among women and had seen countless beauties, but he had never encountered a stunningly beautiful woman like the one before him, who possessed both a youthful face and enormous breasts.
That aura of cold elegance and sexiness instantly ignited the Evil Fire within him.
"Come on, follow me!" Xue Beng closed his folding fan, straightened his collar, and strode towards the other side with several guards.
The man in gray watched Xue Beng's retreating figure, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, before silently disappearing into the crowd.
Zhu Zhuqing was standing in front of a jewelry stall, looking down at the dazzling array of ornaments on display.
She wasn't really interested in these things, but Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong insisted on dragging her to look at them, and she couldn't refuse.
The stall owner was an elderly woman in her fifties. When the three young women gathered around, she enthusiastically introduced her goods.
"Girls, look at these earrings. They're made of top-quality blue crystal. They look so pretty on your ears..." Zhu Zhuqing casually picked up a silver bracelet and played with it absentmindedly.
Her mind wasn't on the jewelry; she was thinking about going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy tomorrow.
Dai Mubai, that bastard, has toned it down a lot now, but his philandering nature hasn't changed.
This guy is completely unreliable.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was lost in thought, a flirtatious voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"Hey! Little beauty, shopping? Want to grab a drink with your brother?"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned and turned her head to look. She saw a young man in a brocade robe with slicked-back hair staring at her with a smile, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over her chest.
The gaze was so blatant and aggressive that it made Zhu Zhuqing instinctively feel nauseous.
She coldly sized up the uninvited guest before her. The brocade robe was made of the finest Yun brocade, the jade pendant at her waist was of excellent quality, and several guards with considerable aura followed behind her. This demeanor clearly indicated that she was a noble scion of Heaven Dou City.
A flicker of disgust crossed Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, but reason told her she couldn't act impulsively.
She is the second young lady of the Zhu Family in the Star Luo Empire. Growing up in aristocratic circles, she knows all too well how troublesome the forces behind these spoiled brats can be.
Moreover, this is Heaven Dou City, not Star Luo City. Offending the local nobles would definitely not be a good thing for the Shrek Academy.
"Get out of here." Zhu Zhuqing uttered two words coldly, her voice as cold as ice, devoid of any emotion.
Instead of getting angry, the Xue Beng laughed even harder.
"Tsk! You've got quite a personality. I love girls like you with personality. Don't be so aloof. I'm the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Follow me, and I guarantee you'll live the high life, have whatever you want."
As he spoke, he actually reached out and touched Zhu Zhuqing's face directly.
"Court death!"
A loud shout, like a thunderclap, was followed by a white figure rushing over with lightning speed.
Dai Mubai stood not far away, and although his gaze seemed to be elsewhere, his eyes never left Zhu Zhuqing out of the corner of his eye.
His face darkened when Xue Beng approached him to chat. The moment Xue Beng extended his hand, his anger erupted completely.
The White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him, white tiger stripes appeared on his skin, and a pair of tiger eyes burned with raging fury.
With the boost from his Martial Soul Possession, his speed reached its limit. He rushed in front of Zhu Zhuqing in the blink of an eye and then threw a punch.
Dai Mubai didn't hold back with this punch.
Although Xue Beng was also Soul Master, his Soul Power was only around level 20, and he had been indulging in wine and women for years, leaving his foundation weak. How could he possibly withstand Dai Mubai's furious attack?
"Bang!" Xue Beng sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. He tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times before coming to a stop.
His brocade robe was covered in dust, a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, and he looked utterly disheveled.
"Your Highness!" The guards who had Xue Beng were shocked and rushed over to help him up.
"Damn it! Damn it!" Xue Beng, clutching his aching chest, roared furiously, "What are you all standing there for? Attack! Kill them!"
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately Martial Soul Possession and surrounded Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai's pupils contracted.
Among these guards, the leader was actually a Soul King! Although he was only around level 51 or 52, Soul King is Soul King, and the difference in Soul Power Level was obvious.
Moreover, besides that Soul King, there were three or four Soul Ancestor level guards, making their strength not to be underestimated.
"Not good!" Tang San reacted immediately, and Blue Silver Grass instantly spread out from his feet, forming a defensive barrier in front of him, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.
Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar also released their Martial Soul and assumed fighting stances.
The guards didn't initially take the Shrek Devils' Martial Soul too seriously.
A group of Soul Elder at level 30-something are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of these Soul Ancestor and Soul King.
But when their gazes fell on Ning Rongrong, everyone's expression changed.
Ning Rongrong held a crystal-clear seven-story pagoda in her hands. The pagoda reflected seven colors of light under the sunlight. It was the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, the number one support-type Martial Soul in the world!
"Seven... Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda!" the leading Soul King guard exclaimed in shock, abruptly retracting the step he had already taken.
Who dares to touch the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Let alone a mere Soul King like him, even Titled Douluo would have to consider the consequences of offending the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The guards looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to step forward.
The Xue Beng was helped up by the guards, and upon seeing this scene, he was so angry that he almost spat out blood again.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" He shoved aside the guards who were helping him, pointed at Ning Rongrong, and cursed, "Ning Rongrong, you little bitch, how dare you stop me?"
Ning Rongrong is not known for her good temper. The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, pampered by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo since childhood, when has she ever been insulted like this?
"Xue Beng, you piece of trash!" Ning Rongrong retorted without backing down, "Your brother, the Crown Prince, is the Emperor now, and you still dare to be so arrogant? Do you believe I'll get Grandpa Sword to teach you a lesson!"
The Xue Beng struck a nerve, and his face instantly turned bright red.
What he hated most was being compared to Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe is the crown prince, a genius, and the perfect heir praised by everyone. But what about Xue Beng? He can only pretend to be a good-for-nothing, a playboy, and a pitiful wretch who lives forever in his brother's shadow.
"Ning Rongrong!" Xue Beng said through gritted teeth, "You dare to insult a prince! Today, on behalf of Sect Master Ning, I will teach you a lesson!"
As he spoke, the Xue Beng Martial Soul Possession, and a pair of Swan wings unfolded behind him.
The Swan Martial Soul Martial Soul, a legacy of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, while not as powerful as top-tier Martial Soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon or the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, is still considered a mid-to-high-grade Beast Martial Soul.
The Xue Beng flapped its wings and rushed towards Ning Rongrong.
He knew the guards wouldn't dare lay a hand on Ning Rongrong, so he had to come himself.
However, the Xue Beng had to stop halfway through its journey.
Because Ning Rongrong took out a uniquely shaped crossbow from her Storage Soul Tool.
The crossbow bolt was entirely black, its body covered with intricate patterns, and its arrowhead gleamed with a cold, eerie light.
"Come on if you dare!" Ning Rongrong held the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and aimed it at the Xue Beng.
This Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was forged by Tang San when he was in Suotuo City.
Ning Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master with little offensive power. With this repeating crossbow, she will at least have a fighting chance when facing enemies at close range.
"What can a mere crossbow bolt do to me?" He sneered, and the Second Soul Ring of his Swan Martial Soul lit up, forming a pale white light shield in front of him. "Second Soul Skill, Swan Protection!"
With his defensive Soul Skill protecting him, Xue Beng became bolder again. He flapped his wings once more and pounced on Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Crossbow bolts shot out like a torrential rain, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds, heading towards the Xue Beng.
The light shield in front of Xue Beng blocked most of the crossbow bolts, but the power of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was much greater than he had imagined. The light shield trembled violently under the impact of the crossbow bolts, and there were faint signs of it breaking.
"Damn it!" Xue Beng cursed under his breath, forced to stop and focus all his energy on maintaining his defensive Soul Skill.
While everyone's attention was focused on the confrontation between Xue Beng and Ning Rongrong, no one noticed that a figure was quietly watching everything from the second-floor window of a teahouse on the street. It was none other than the Snake Lance Douluo.
His gaze, sharp as a hawk's, pierced through the crowd and precisely locked onto the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in Ning Rongrong's hand.
"This crossbow bolt is indeed quite powerful; it's perfect for sending the Xue Beng to its doom."
As he spoke, Snake Lance Douluo slowly raised his right hand, and a barely perceptible fluctuation of Soul Power condensed at the tip of his index finger.
Under the masterful control of the Snake Lance Douluo, this wisp of Soul Power silently passed through the teahouse window, through the bustling crowd, and precisely attached itself to a crossbow bolt that Ning Rongrong was about to fire.
Ning Rongrong pulled the trigger again, and an arrow shot out from the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
This crossbow bolt looks no different from the previous ones, but its speed and power have increased more than tenfold in that instant!
The Swan Protection shield in front of the Xue Beng was as fragile as paper in front of this crossbow bolt, and was instantly pierced.
The crossbow bolt, undeterred by any setback, carried an unstoppable killing intent as it shot straight towards the Xue Beng's throat.
Xue Beng's pupils dilated suddenly; he tried to dodge, but his body couldn't react in time.
"Thud!" The crossbow bolt pierced Xue Beng's throat with pinpoint accuracy, exiting from the back of his neck and kicking up a cloud of blood.
Xue Beng's body froze in place.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Blood gushed from his throat and spilled from the corners of his mouth, staining his brocade robe embroidered with gold thread.
He looked down at the bloodstains on his chest, then looked up at Ning Rongrong, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He is the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire! He hasn't reclaimed the throne yet, hasn't taken revenge on Xue Qinghe, hasn't...
The Xue Beng's body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
His eyes were wide open, he died with his eyes open, unable to close them in peace.
The entire Vermilion Bird Street fell into a deathly silence at this moment.
Everyone was stunned.
The guards were stunned, the Shrek academy students were stunned, and the onlookers were stunned as well.
Ning Rongrong stood there, holding the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, staring blankly at Xue Beng lying in a Xue Beng of blood, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant.
"I... I killed him?" Ning Rongrong's voice trembled, and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in her hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".
