Tang Chen VS Zhao Wuji! Shrek's Hypocrisy!

Bang!

Tang San's face turned pale.

His palm was knocked aside by the Serpent Cane, and his body staggered back several steps.

His earlier battle with the Man Faced Demon Spider had already consumed too much Soul Power.

The Godly Zhuge Crossbow had also been shattered head-on by Destruction Judgment.

In his current state, he could not even unleash half of his peak strength.

Meng Yiran, however, was uninjured.

Her Soul Power remained abundant.

After one clash, the outcome was clear.

Meng Yiran gripped the Serpent Cane and closed in again.

Tang San swiftly raised his hand.

Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground and coiled toward her waist.

Meng Yiran twisted at the waist.

Her close-fitting short skirt swept out a blue-violet afterimage.

The Serpent Cane came down after it, smashing apart every strand of Blue Silver Grass that approached.

The third Soul Ring beneath her feet lit up.

Purple Soul Power rapidly gathered along the Serpent Cane.

Seeing this, Tang San immediately reached his right hand toward his waist.

Just as the two were about to clash again, a mass of footsteps suddenly sounded from beyond the dense forest.

"Tang San!"

A tall figure crashed through the bushes and charged into the battlefield first.

The man was broad and powerfully built, with a rugged face.

It was Zhao Wuji.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and the others followed close behind.

Zhao Wuji immediately spotted Tang San, who was retreating again and again.

Meng Yiran's Serpent Cane was stabbing toward Tang San's chest.

"Courting death!"

Zhao Wuji stomped his foot.

A tyrannical wave of Soul Power erupted.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.

Seven Soul Rings rose in succession.

The pressure of a Soul Saint instantly blanketed the clearing ahead.

Meng Yiran felt her shoulders sink.

The Serpent Cane in her hand veered off course, and the pressure of Soul Power forced her entire body backward.

Zhao Wuji crossed more than ten meters in a single stride and arrived in front of Tang San.

He raised his broad palm and slapped down at Meng Yiran head-on.

Meng Yiran's expression changed drastically.

"A Soul Saint!"

She immediately held the Serpent Cane horizontally before her.

Bang!

Zhao Wuji's palm struck the Serpent Cane.

Meng Yiran's arms went numb, and her slender body slid several meters backward.

Her long boots carved two deep tracks into the muddy ground.

She had barely steadied herself when Zhao Wuji was already before her again.

The pressure brought by his massive body nearly suffocated her.

Meng Yiran looked around.

The Unrivaled Dragon Snake had not arrived.

She was alone now.

Facing a Soul Saint and several Shrek students, she had no chance of winning.

Zhao Wuji raised his palm.

"Powerful Vajra Bear, possess me!"

Thick brown fur covered his arms.

His body swelled again as violent Soul Power pressed down on Meng Yiran.

Meng Yiran gripped the Serpent Cane and retreated continuously.

Her short hair was blown loose by the Soul Power.

The blue-violet hem of her skirt fluttered repeatedly in the air currents.

Her fair, slender legs tapped lightly against the ground as she repeatedly dodged Zhao Wuji's descending palms.

Her movements were nimble.

Each time, she could turn away just before his palm came down.

But the gap between their Soul Powers was simply too great.

Zhao Wuji did not need any technique.

With the pressure of a Soul Saint alone, he could steadily compress the space Meng Yiran had to evade.

Boom!

A thick ancient tree was smashed apart by Zhao Wuji's palm.

Wood chips flew in every direction.

Meng Yiran swept past the broken trunk.

Her footing faltered slightly, and her shoulder was grazed by the spreading Soul Power.

Her entire body flew sideways. After landing, she staggered back several more steps.

Zhao Wuji did not stop.

"A mere Soul Elder dares to hurt someone from Shrek."

"Today, I'll cripple your Martial Soul and see if you dare make another move in the future!"

The color drained from Meng Yiran's face.

She gripped the Serpent Cane, struggling to withstand Zhao Wuji's Soul Power pressure.

"It was Tang San who stole my Soul Beast first!"

"So what if he did?"

Zhao Wuji strode forward.

"Soul Beasts are ownerless to begin with."

"Whoever has the ability gets the Soul Ring."

Tang Chen frowned when he heard that.

Just moments ago, Tang San had insisted that the Man Faced Demon Spider belonged to him.

Now that Zhao Wuji had arrived, Shrek immediately changed its tune.

Soul Beasts were ownerless.

Whoever had the ability got them.

There was nothing wrong with those words.

But coming from Zhao Wuji's mouth, they were utterly laughable.

Zhao Wuji had already arrived before Meng Yiran.

He raised his bear paw and aimed it at her dantian.

If this strike landed, even if Meng Yiran did not die, her meridians and dantian would be severely damaged.

"Stop."

Tang Chen spoke.

Zhao Wuji's palm stopped in midair.

He turned to look at Tang Chen.

"Who are you?"

Tang Chen walked to Meng Yiran's side.

His white robes swayed gently with his Soul Power.

"Using the cultivation of a Soul Saint to bully a Soul Elder."

"Zhao Wuji, have you no shame?"

Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes.

He had roamed the Soul Master world for many years and naturally did not like being publicly rebuked by someone around Tang San's age.

"You know me?"

"Not only do I know you, I also know that Spirit Hall once hunted you down."

Tang Chen looked at Zhao Wuji.

"Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang are in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"You're about to cripple their only granddaughter. Do you think the Unrivaled Dragon Snake won't come to settle accounts with you?"

Zhao Wuji's expression froze.

His gaze fell on Meng Yiran once more.

Serpent Cane Martial Soul.

Her surname was Meng.

The identity of the girl before him was already obvious.

Zhao Wuji did not immediately step back.

"Even if she is the Unrivaled Dragon Snake's granddaughter, she cannot casually harm Shrek students."

Tang San covered his reddened cheek and quickly walked to Zhao Wuji's side.

"Teacher Zhao, it's him."

"I had already severely injured the Man Faced Demon Spider."

"He suddenly appeared, stole the finishing blow, and took the External Soul Bone dropped by the Man Faced Demon Spider."

Zhao Wuji immediately looked at Tang Chen.

"An External Soul Bone?"

Tang San nodded.

"That Soul Bone had eight spider spears."

"It's on him right now."

Everyone from Shrek turned their gazes toward Tang Chen.

They had all heard, to some extent, of the value of an External Soul Bone.

It was a precious treasure second only to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Oscar looked at Tang Chen, surprise in his eyes.

Ma Hongjun, meanwhile, was sizing up Zhu Zhuqing behind Tang Chen.

The moment Dai Mubai's gaze shifted over, he froze in place.

"Zhu Qing?"

Zhu Zhuqing wore fitted black clothes.

Her long black hair was tied behind her head.

A year of cultivation had made her figure even more slender.

Her delicate face still carried its distant air.

She stood quietly behind Tang Chen, very close to him.

Dai Mubai stared at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Why are you here?"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him.

There was little ripple in her clear eyes.

"This has nothing to do with you."

Dai Mubai's expression darkened.

"I am your fiancé."

"You disappeared for an entire year, and now you're following another man?"

Zhu Zhuqing moved half a step closer to Tang Chen.

"When you abandoned me and fled alone to the Heaven Dou Empire, why didn't you remember that you were my fiancé?"

Dai Mubai opened his mouth.

For a moment, he had no retort.

Zhu Zhuqing had already withdrawn her gaze.

When she looked at Tang Chen, the distance in her eyes faded away.

Dai Mubai saw all of it.

His hands slowly clenched.

Zhao Wuji paid no attention to the relationship between them.

He stared at Tang Chen.

"Tang San said you stole his Man Faced Demon Spider and External Soul Bone."

"Hand over the Soul Bone, and this matter will end here."

Tang Chen looked at Meng Yiran.

She was standing behind him, still gripping her Serpent Cane.

Tang Chen looked back at Zhao Wuji.

"Stay away from her first."
