Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing in Danger

At this moment, in Suotuo City, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, who had trained for half the day, came together to take part in today's spirit battles.

Because the Shrek members were at different stages of training, the others were still training, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, having finished theirs, came ahead of time.

Moreover, participating in spirit battles had become a required part of their training.

"Zhuqing, how many solo spirit battles have you completed now?"

"Six."

"Six? Then it'll still be a long time before you finish the task Master assigned."

At the thought of the task Master had assigned, Xiao Wu's face fell.

"It's fine. We can just treat these spirit battles as training."

As the two chatted and entered Suotuo City, they reached an uninhabited stretch of road leading to the Great Soul Arena. After exchanging a glance, they nodded, then turned around—and saw exactly what they had expected.

They had sensed someone following them earlier. When they looked back, they saw three ugly men staring at them with lecherous grins.

"It's him."

Seeing the particularly ugly man in the middle, Xiao Wu recognized him at once. She had beaten him up last time, yet she hadn't expected him to recover so quickly.

"Haha, little girls, I didn't expect you to end up alone. Last time, you relied on having more people and beat me up. Let's see where you can run this time."

As the ugly man in the middle spoke, his eyes roamed over Xiao Wu's body with a smile.

That man was naturally Bu Le. The other two were undoubtedly Old Goose and Tianya, the other members of the Three Swordsmen.

It had to be said that Xiao Wu looked exceptionally adorable now. Her delicate, fair little face, her long, glossy black scorpion braid, and her figure—which was not particularly full but had begun to take shape—were all captivating. Especially the trace of youthful innocence on her rosy cheeks; to an old lecher like him, it was irresistibly tempting. Bu Le's eyes gleamed as he stared at Xiao Wu. This time, I'll definitely get my revenge. Xiao Wu is mine.

"Bu Le, so this is the little girl who beat you up last time. She's quite lovely. But I prefer the one beside her. That's my type."

"That's right. These two really are top-notch. One is delicate and adorable, while the other is fiery and full-bodied. They're far better than the ones we've met before."

"This time, Old Goose and Tianya, you two are in for a treat." Bu Le spoke as he stared at Xiao Wu with a face full of hatred. "I said I would get revenge. Let's see where you can run this time."

"Hehe, that's right, little girls. You'd better surrender obediently. That way, this uncle can still let you have some fun."

The three men laughed obscenely, not taking Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing seriously at all.

"Hmph, it seems beating you up last time wasn't painful enough. Then I'll beat you up again."

Xiao Wu gave a soft snort and was about to make her move when she saw the Spirit Rings on their bodies, causing her to freeze.

Five Spirit Rings—white, yellow, yellow, purple, purple—appeared around Tianya beside Bu Le. There was no doubt that he was a powerful Soul King.

The weapon in his hand was a broken blade, seemingly snapped off at waist level. The blade was about four fingers wide and measured one foot and two inches from hilt to break, while the hilt itself was eight inches long. Green Light flickered across its entire surface. He was clearly a Battle Soul Master with a weapon martial soul.

A feminine item appeared in Bu Le's hand, and his Spirit Rings lit up at the same time.

After seeing the strength of the three men, the calm Zhu Zhuqing said to Xiao Wu, "They have a Soul King. Xiao Wu, we're no match for them. We have to run."

"Mm, I know." Xiao Wu's expression was grim as well. Faced with a Soul King, they had no chance of winning.

"Haha, run? Do you think you can still escape?" Bu Le laughed loudly. As his Spirit Rings lit up, an enormous barrier blocked Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's path.

"Not good. Run, Xiao Wu! I'm faster, so I can hold them off for a while. Hurry back and find Teacher Zhao and the others."

As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, she instantly possessed her martial soul and launched an attack at the two men, buying Xiao Wu time.

"Zhuqing!" Xiao Wu was frantic when she saw Zhu Zhuqing charge forward. How could Zhu Zhuqing, only a Soul Grandmaster, possibly be a match for a Soul King? But if she did not leave, they might both be captured. Only by bringing Zhao Wuji could they stand a chance. With that thought, Xiao Wu reluctantly turned to leave and seek help.

However, Bu Le had already seen through Xiao Wu's intentions. He shouted to the man beside him, "Old Goose, give her a little something."

"I've had it ready for a while. This secluded alley is perfect—there's no one around. I want to see how it feels too."

The ugly man spoke with a lecherous grin and attacked the fleeing Xiao Wu. He was so fast that Xiao Wu, still developing, could not possibly evade him.

With the Heavenly Gauze Twin Covers surrounding her, how could Xiao Wu escape so easily? As soon as Old Goose caught up, he scattered a certain powdered object hidden at his waist toward Xiao Wu.

Bang!!

Unable to dodge in time, Xiao Wu accidentally inhaled the substance.

The instant she breathed it in, she inwardly cried, Not good!

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing attacked Bu Le, but a Soul King immediately blocked her. To buy Xiao Wu time, she continuously struck out with her sharp claws.

Bang!!

"Hmph, for a mere Soul Grandmaster to have such strength, you're not bad. But I'm a Soul King."

Blocking Zhu Zhuqing's attack, Tianya gave a lecherous laugh and instantly took out a packet of powder from his waist, scattering it toward Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was in the middle of attacking, could not dodge in time. Like Xiao Wu, she accidentally inhaled it. The next instant, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground.

"Haha, Bu Le, your stuff really is useful. Look, the two of them were taken down in an instant."

"This is my exclusive secret formula. Even a Soul King wouldn't be able to withstand it after being hit by this. Of course it's useful."

As they spoke, the two men stared at the fallen Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu with lecherous grins.

It was over!

Feeling that she could not move her body, Zhu Zhuqing was overcome with despair.

There was no need to think about what would happen if she fell into these men's hands.

Xiao Wu felt the same despair as Zhu Zhuqing.

Because of Tang San, she knew something about herbs as well. After being hit by this powder, she recognized its effects. It contained not only an anesthetic, but also that kind of drug. The two had been mixed together, and once they took effect...

Now that she had inhaled it, she could feel her body gradually growing hot. If this dragged on any longer, she would surely fall victim to the three men.

At that thought, Xiao Wu ignored the drain on her Soul Power and struggled to get up and escape, but her body remained limp and weak. It was useless.

"Haha, struggle all you want. The more you struggle, the faster the drug will take effect. The happier you'll be later."

Bu Le looked at Xiao Wu, his eyes filled with hatred. Because of her, he would never be able to be a man again for the rest of his life.

But now he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, because he could finally get his revenge.

"Tianya, Old Goose, I'll leave these two tender little beauties for you to enjoy."

"Haha, don't worry, Bu Le. I'll definitely help you get your revenge properly."

Bu Le naturally understood what Tianya meant by revenge.
