"The pity is that, to trick you into coming closer, I didn't activate my martial soul and couldn't unleash my full strength. Otherwise, you couldn't possibly have escaped my grasp.
"Still, you really do have thick skin and tough flesh. Any other Titled Douluo might well have been killed in a single blow."
Xuan Zi's voice was full of regret.
I came to help you out of the goodness of my heart, and you actually want to kill me?
What kind of sense does that make?!
Zhang Peng's heart brimmed with anger, and even a little grievance.
But after considering his mission, Zhang Peng decided to swallow it.
He forced his anger down, fixed his gaze on Xuan Zi, and said gravely, "Xuan Zi, get this straight. I'm not your enemy. Star Luo Empire, Heavenly Soul, the Douluo Three Great Empires-they're your enemies.
"If it weren't for them, you wouldn't have had to leave Shrek Academy."
After hearing Zhang Peng's words, Xuan Zi cursed outright. "Bullshit!"
"My enemies have never been the Three Great Empires. They're you evil soul masters. Back then, anger clouded my mind, and a moment of carelessness let me fall into your trap. I slaughtered far too many innocent civilians. That's what brought things to this point. Even killing you wouldn't quench the hatred in my heart!"
Xuan Zi's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.
Over the past few days, he had kept turning one question over in his mind: if not for these damned evil soul masters, would Shrek Academy have ever ended up like this?
If he had not taken the wrong path, if he had listened to Mu En, how could he have unleashed such a towering calamity?
Of course, even though he regretted it now
