Dark clouds suddenly covered the sky. Lightning flashed, and thunder rolled.
A terrifying pressure descended over the Zhu Family, instantly engulfing the entire Zhu Residence,
turning the faces of its members pale.
"Ah..."
Someone screamed and dropped to his knees, unable to withstand it.
"Who's there?"
Zhu Xiaolie roared in fury. He struggled with his face twisted, but the pressure forced him to his knees.
"Ah... Who dares?"
The woman's face changed. She shouted, then fell to her knees as well.
The Soul Emperors and Soul Kings also knelt, their faces deathly pale.
Yet Fang Fan and Zhu Zhuqing were completely unaffected.
"Who are you?"
Zhu Dashuai emerged from the shadows, aghast. He could barely keep himself from kneeling.
He had a faint suspicion that this person was someone out of legend:
"Could you be a legendary Titled Douluo?"
The Star Luo Empire had only one Titled Douluo: Dai Yutian.
But this person was a woman.
Could she be an Elder of Spirit Hall?
She wasn't wearing an Elder's robe, though.
"You're worthless. You can't even protect your own daughter. You don't deserve to know who I am!"
Ling Yuan sneered.
"You're that boy's teacher, aren't you?" Zhu Dashuai pointed at Fang Fan.
"You... Even if you're a Titled Douluo, even if you're the boy's teacher, you can't interfere in the private affairs of the Zhu Family and the Dai family!
Do you want to make an enemy of the entire Star Luo Empire? This is a matter between the imperial Dai family and the Zhu Family!
You're an outsider. Stay out of it!"
Even on his knees, Zhu Xiaolie laid out what was at stake.
"I'm not worthy of being Fang Fan's teacher!" Ling Yuan shook her head.
Boom! The next moment, Zhu Xiaolie's hand burst into searing flames.
"Ah!"
He screamed in agony. His right hand burned away in an instant.
"My hand! My hand..."
"Husband!"
The woman stared wide-eyed. Even invoking the Dai family hadn't worked.
Who was this woman?
Were they in serious trouble this time?
"Don't go too far! He's my brother!"
Zhu Dashuai was furious at the sight of his brother's burned-off hand.
"So what?!"
A domineering voice suddenly rang out,
and a middle-aged man in golden armor flew to Ling Yuan's side. He, too, radiated the powerful aura of a Titled Douluo.
The terrifying pressure nearly scared Zhu Xiaolie to death.
This...
What was going on?
Where had another Titled Douluo come from?
Two Titled Douluo!
Even if the emperor of Star Luo himself came, he might not be able to stop them.
"What do you want?"
Zhu Xiaolie was petrified. His whole body trembled.
The woman and the other subordinates were terrified.
Every face had gone white.
Who was this boy?
Why were two legendary Titled Douluo protecting him?
Whoosh!
Before they could recover from their shock,
another Titled Douluo appeared and flew to the golden-armored man's side.
"Uh..."
Even Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.
The auras of three Titled Douluo were terrifying.
She had never witnessed anything like it in her life.
Titled Douluo were exceedingly rare in the Star Luo Empire, and even Dai Yutian did not ordinarily release his aura.
The auras of these three felt almost divine.
No wonder Titled Douluo were spoken of as legends.
Shocked, she wondered who the boy was and who these Titled Douluo were.
At the same time, she still grieved for Xiao Hong.
"Uh..."
Zhu Dashuai's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
Three...
Three Titled Douluo had come!
He thought he must be dreaming!
"Heh... Your Zhu Family should feel honored that we came in person!"
Ghost Leopard Elder sneered.
Whoosh!
But it wasn't over. Another Titled Douluo flew out and landed beside Ghost Leopard Elder.
The terrifying pressure made the Zhu Residence creak and groan.
Some people were pressed facedown into the dirt. No matter how they struggled, veins bulging, they could not rise.
They cried out on the ground like dying dogs.
"Holy shit..."
Zhu Dashuai's eyes widened like saucers.
Who... who was this boy?
Four Titled Douluo were protecting him!
What the hell was going on?!
Beside this boy, even the Dai family seemed beneath contempt!
No wonder he was such a monster.
At fifteen, he was already a level fifty-three Soul King, and he could defeat opponents more than ten levels above him!
The sight of four Titled Douluo sent chills down Zhu Zhuqing's spine. Her head buzzed; none of it felt real.
A single Titled Douluo could do as he pleased in the Star Luo Empire and keep the entire Zhu Family at his mercy.
That showed just how terrifying the boy's backing was!
"Ahhh..."
The woman lay facedown, screaming:
"We were wrong!
We didn't realize who we were dealing with!
Handsome young man,
dear young master... spare us!"
"I... I'm shit! Please treat me like shit and let me go! Spare me!
I don't want to die!"
Clutching the stump of his wrist, Zhu Xiaolie begged through his pain, his face full of terror.
"What the hell..."
Something about Zhu Xiaolie's words struck Pufferfish as wrong.
"Did he just call us dogs?"
Boom!
At that, an even fiercer blast of Soul Power slammed into them.
The fools had a death wish. They had even dared to slip an insult into their pleas for mercy.
Boom!
The blast drove Zhu Xiaolie's face into the ground.
Even Zhu Dashuai's expression changed slightly. Under the terrifying pressure, he could no longer straighten his back.
"You Titled Douluo have gone too far! Why are you pressing me down too?"
Zhu Dashuai shouted indignantly.
"You're Zhu Dashuai, aren't you?
Worthless fool!
Your daughter was treated like that, and you didn't dare step in. You just watched from the shadows!
A coward like you doesn't deserve to be Zhu Zhuqing's father. Of course we're pressing you down!"
Ling Yuan's voice dripped with contempt.
"What... do you know?"
Zhu Dashuai gritted his teeth. He had thought someone might understand his predicament,
but it seemed few people ever would.
"Who wants to hear about your family's rotten affairs?"
Yet another Titled Douluo flew in from nearby. A powerful pressure poured off him, making several wooden buildings in the Zhu Residence groan before they collapsed.
Crash! Crack!
The sounds of collapse rang out all around.
Zhu Dashuai sucked in a sharp breath, then another.
What the hell!
Five Titled Douluo had arrived at once!
Only one place could send out five Titled Douluo at a time. Anyone could figure it out:
Spirit Hall!
What were several Elders of Spirit Hall doing at the Zhu Family's residence in the Star Luo Empire?
He couldn't make sense of it!
Damn it all!
Zhu Zhuqing paid Zhu Dashuai no attention. She was bitterly disappointed in him—he had done nothing to save Xiao Hong.
To Zhu Dashuai, Xiao Hong had probably been nothing more than an expendable maid.
She walked toward the level sixty-one Soul Emperor who had killed Xiao Hong.
She wanted to kill him with her own hands!
Under the pressure of five Titled Douluo, the Soul Emperor trembled like a dog, unable to stand.
He saw a frightening light in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes!
Her killing intent pierced him like a sharp sword!
His heart hammered. Fear filled his eyes as he stammered:
"What... what are you doing? Don't come any closer!"
"I'm avenging Xiao Hong!"
Zhu Zhuqing activated Martial Soul Possession. Sharp claws grew from her fingers, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes as she slashed forward.
Squelch! Blood sprayed everywhere.
