White Tiger Street, Divine Eagle Strikes Out

"Zhuqing!"

Having just arrived at White Tiger Street, Zhu Zhuqing was called out to by a black-haired young man.

"Second Brother?"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned.

She recognized him.

This was her second brother, Zhu Ming.

Second Brother's attitude toward Zhu Zhuqing could only be called ordinary.

Neither good nor bad.

He had not bullied Zhu Zhuqing like Zhu Zhuyun had.

But he had not treated her particularly well either.

After all, in Zhu Ming's eyes, Zhu Zhuqing posed no threat to his inheritance.

"Zhuqing, I didn't expect you to have suddenly left the Netherworld Duke's Estate as well."

Zhu Ming walked up to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile. "By the way, Zhuqing, how have you been these past few days?"

"Fine. Neither good nor bad."

Zhu Zhuqing answered blandly.

She did not have much affection for this second brother of hers either.

Of course, she did not dislike him either.

At that moment, Zhu Ming exchanged a few pleasantries with her.

Zhu Zhuqing merely dealt with them perfunctorily.

"Third Prince, it has been a long time."

After speaking a few words with Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Ming turned to Dai Mubai beside her.

"Indeed."

One did not strike a smiling face.

Dai Mubai responded to this second brother as well.

"Third Prince, would you like to visit our Netherworld Duke's Estate? It can be considered Zhuqing's maternal home."

Zhu Ming spoke with an enthusiastic expression, extending the invitation.

"Thank you for the offer, Second Brother, but I have matters to attend to, so I won't be going."

Dai Mubai waved a hand. This time, he had returned to the Imperial Capital to settle things with Dai Weisi.

"Fine, it's nothing."

Second Brother seemed indifferent.

But then, as if he had suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, and his voice grew lower.

He spoke solemnly. "Zhuqing, you shouldn't have come back at a time like this... Eldest Sister, she..."

At that point, Zhu Ming suddenly paused.

He beckoned Zhu Zhuqing over, signaling for her to lean closer so he could whisper in her ear.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Second Brother.

Her expression was somewhat hesitant.

After struggling with it for a while, Zhu Zhuqing still stepped closer to Second Brother.

As Zhu Zhuqing moved closer.

The gaze hidden behind Zhu Ming's obstruction turned grim as well.

"Zhuqing, let me tell you..."

As Zhu Ming spoke, he unleashed Nether Hundred Claws directly against Zhu Zhuqing's body.

His Martial Soul was also released at that instant.

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for blocking His Highness's path!" He stared at Zhu Zhuqing with a savage expression.

Yet just as Zhu Ming's attack neared Zhu Zhuqing.

It was forcibly stopped by a surge of power!

The one who stopped him was not Dai Mubai, but Zhu Zhuqing!

Seeing the power Zhu Zhuqing displayed, a trace of shock flashed through Zhu Ming's eyes.

"You..."

Zhu Ming felt the power emanating from Zhu Zhuqing.

"You... you're actually a Soul Elder?!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the man before her with deep disappointment in her eyes.

"Second Brother, I'm very disappointed in you. As expected... the imperial family is the most heartless of all."

Just moments ago, she had still trusted this Second Brother of hers.

She simply had not expected that he truly would launch a sneak attack on her.

Fortunately, her strength was no longer what it used to be.

Otherwise, her Second Brother might really have succeeded in his sneak attack...

This Second Brother of hers was five years older than Zhu Zhuqing.

Yet now, those five extra years seemed rather wasted.

Her Second Brother was only a Level 38 Soul Elder.

The eruption of Soul Power between the two instantly drew everyone else's attention.

Dai Mubai, standing nearby, had long noticed that this Second Brother was highly suspicious.

What he had not expected was that this Second Brother, who had come to assassinate her, would move so slowly that even Zhu Zhuqing could deal with him with ease.

There was no need for him to intervene.

Looking at it this way, he truly was rather inferior.

However...

Since he wanted to kill Zhu Zhuqing, this Second Brother could not be allowed to live!

Just then, a gust of Astral Wind swept over.

Dai Mubai merely turned his head.

He saw General Divine Eagle charging rapidly toward them, his eyes filled with madness.

"General Divine Eagle, you dare betray His Majesty!"

Su Xiong's face twisted with rage.

As a general, making a move within Star Luo City was an open violation of the law.

In his eyes, this was a betrayal of the Star Luo Emperor.

Su Xiong reacted swiftly, releasing his Martial Soul in an instant.

He blocked General Divine Eagle's sneak attack.

The clash between two Soul Douluos had only just begun, when it immediately erupted into a violent wave of Soul Power.

Zhu Ming, who had been stopped by Zhu Zhuqing, flew into a rage from humiliation and shouted, "Kill them!"

Following Zhu Ming's shout, countless people suddenly sprang out from all around them.

These were all part of the ambush they had arranged.

"Dai Weisi is truly bold."

One glance at this ambush made it obvious that it had to be Dai Weisi's handiwork.

Though he had anticipated it long ago, seeing it truly happen only made him feel how insane it was.

He had not expected

that Dai Weisi, driven into a corner, would actually choose to make one last desperate fight against him?

Right in the middle of the street?

"Someone's been killed!"

"Ah! Someone is committing murder in broad daylight!"

"People are dead! People are dead!"

After the ambushing soldiers rushed out, the surrounding crowd immediately fell into panic.

They scattered in every direction.

No one had expected that anyone would dare commit violence openly on White Tiger Street in the Star Luo Empire!

Alas!

What a decadent world!

The moment the battle broke out, Zhu Zhuqing rushed forward at top speed and subdued her second brother.

"Nether Hundred Claws!"

Zhu Ming had just used that move to launch a sneak attack on Zhu Zhuqing.

And now—

Zhu Zhuqing used the very same method to cripple her second brother's Martial Soul outright!

"Ah—!"

The instant he felt his Martial Soul being destroyed by Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Ming let out a shrill, miserable scream.

"I..."

After realizing that he had been crippled, Zhu Ming's first reaction was not anger.

It was despair.

He saw the rage and unwavering resolve in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes!

Looking into her eyes, Zhu Ming immediately understood what she intended.

"Zhuqing!"

"Spare me!"

Her second brother began to beg.

He knew Zhu Zhuqing wanted to kill him!

He did not want to die!

He was the future Netherworld Duke!

He refused to die!

"Zhuqing, I'm your second brother! Just now... just now, your second brother was only confused for a moment!"

"Zhuqing!"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing remained utterly unmoved, Zhu Ming grew more and more panicked.

"I'm your real second brother, Zhuqing!"

"Second Brother."

Zhu Zhuqing let out a faint sigh.

"When you ambushed me just now, why didn't you remember that you were my real second brother, and I was your real little sister?"

A fierce glint flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

Her Soul Power pierced straight through Zhu Ming's chest.

"The victor is king and the loser is a bandit—it has always been so. Since you made the first move, Second Brother, and lost, then go die!"

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was incomparably resolute.

She wanted Dai Mubai to see her determination as well!

She would absolutely never yield weakly over something like this again!
