Zhu Zhuqing, who had been locked in combat all this time, launched a ferocious offensive as well, her dark silhouette shooting straight toward Dai Mubai.
"First Soul Skill: Hell Stab!"
In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing flickered forward, swiftly passing Dai Mubai.
Just as Dai Mubai thought Zhu Zhuqing had missed her attack, she twisted around with incredible speed, appeared directly behind him, and slammed a heavy punch into his back.
Dai Mubai screamed and staggered forward. Zhu Zhuqing followed close behind, kicking him in the knee.
The crack of breaking bone rang out. Dai Mubai endured the agony of his broken leg and dropped straight to his knees.
Just as Xiao Wu was about to crash heavily to the ground, Chen Xuanqing darted past at that heart-stopping moment and caught her securely.
Then Chen Xuanqing turned lightly, and the two landed smoothly on the ground, as though none of it had ever happened.
Watching from the side, Meng Yiran could not help the faint peach-blossom glow of infatuation that crept into her eyes.
She imagined how wonderful that scene would be if she were the one in Chen Xuanqing's arms!
However, she soon woke from that brief fantasy, because she knew Chen Xuanqing's heart had already been claimed by the two girls fighting alongside him.
Just then, Chen Xuanqing suddenly felt a crushing pressure descend, as though an invisible mountain had settled on his body.
This was precisely the effect of Zhao Wuji stacking two soul skills. The doubled gravitational force made Chen Xuanqing feel a trace of pressure.
"You let your guard down! Die, brat!" Zhao Wuji's voice exploded like thunder.
His figure suddenly charged out from the side, the Martial Soul Avatar of the great strength vajra bear looking incomparably fierce.
The great strength vajra bear moved with tremendous speed, sweeping past like a gale, so fast that no one could make out his enormous figure.
"Second Soul Skill: Great Strength Vajra Palm!" Zhao Wuji roared, bringing two enormous bear paws crashing toward Chen Xuanqing like a pair of small mountains.
Golden light shimmered over the bear paws, as though they contained boundless power capable of pounding Chen Xuanqing into a bloody pulp with a single strike.
Yet Chen Xuanqing showed not the slightest fear. He drew a deep breath, soul power surging wildly within him as a mighty force erupted from his right arm.
"Soul Bone: Qilin Arm!"
Chen Xuanqing gave a low shout. His right arm instantly thickened, swelling until it was larger than half his body.
The Qilin Arm radiated a faint golden light, holding the power of a fifty-thousand-year soul bone.
Chen Xuanqing swung his Qilin Arm fiercely, meeting Zhao Wuji's bear paws head-on.
Boom!
A tremendous crash shook the heavens as the two powerful forces collided violently in midair.
In an instant, waves of air churned, and dust billowed.
The immense force sent Zhao Wuji flying backward dozens of meters. He slammed heavily into the ground, throwing up a great cloud of dust.
The Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, who had been watching, were stunned by the sight. They had never expected to encounter such a rare soul bone.
Meng Yiran, however, wore a perfectly calm expression. With my Brother Xuanqing's strength, it's only natural for him to have a soul bone that others consider a priceless treasure.
Chen Xuanqing remained where he stood, his gaze firm and profound. Everything had been within his expectations.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu's shrill voice rang out. "Oh no! Brother Xuanqing, look over there! Tang San and that shameless Oscar seem to have taken the chance to escape!"
Xiao Wu's voice was filled with anxiety and unease, as though she blamed herself for failing to hold Tang San back.
At Xiao Wu's warning, Chen Xuanqing immediately scanned his surroundings warily.
Sure enough, Tang San and Oscar had disappeared without a trace at some point, as though they had evaporated into thin air.
Only Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun, whose fate remained uncertain, were left on the battlefield-a sight that could not help but draw a frown.
Chen Xuanqing's gaze gradually turned icy. He glanced at Dai Mubai beside him and said mildly, "That fellow Tang San got away. What do you think I should do?"
An unquestionable authority carried through Chen Xuanqing's tone. He seemed to be asking Dai Mubai's opinion, yet also putting pressure on him.
Hearing Chen Xuanqing's words, Dai Mubai immediately glared at him and shouted, "Chen Xuanqing, spare me your hypocrisy! I may not be some great hero, but I know what it means to have backbone! Kill me or carve me up-do as you please! If I so much as furrow my brow, I'm no man!"
"Spouting one rhyme after another-are you trying to get into grad school?" As he spoke, Chen Xuanqing slapped Dai Mubai to the ground.
Under that single slap from Chen Xuanqing, Dai Mubai's heroic bravado instantly scattered, and he collapsed to the ground, trembling.
Looking down at Dai Mubai, Chen Xuanqing asked Zhu Zhuqing beside him, "How do you think I should deal with this fellow?"
The moment Zhu Zhuqing thought of Dai Mubai's insults, which had even extended to the entire Zhu Family, her anger surged.
However, considering the relationship between the Zhu Family and the Dai Family, she still had a trace of concern.
So Zhu Zhuqing said gravely, "Spare his life!"
Chen Xuanqing nodded at her words and motioned for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to turn around.
Once the two girls had turned away, Chen Xuanqing walked up to Dai Mubai, gathered his strength, and kicked him in the crotch.
That kick immediately drew a piercing scream from Dai Mubai, so miserable it could break hearts and bring tears to anyone who heard it, filled with agony and fury.
Watching from a short distance away, even Meng Yiran could not help feeling her crotch tighten at the sight.
Dai Mubai's face was filled with pain and humiliation as he shouted at Chen Xuanqing, "Aah! Chen Xuanqing, you and I cannot live beneath the same sky!"
However, Chen Xuanqing acted as though he had heard nothing. He turned and left, leaving Dai Mubai alone to groan in agony.
Next, Chen Xuanqing slowly approached Ma Hongjun and saw at a glance that, despite his grievous injuries, he was still breathing.
"Hmph. Ma Hongjun, I didn't expect you to still be alive," Chen Xuanqing said coldly, his voice carrying a measure of contempt.
Ma Hongjun struggled to open his eyes. Looking at Chen Xuanqing standing before him, a trace of anger and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
He struggled to get up, but his injuries left him unable to move.
"Chen Xuanqing, you... don't get so smug!" Ma Hongjun said through gritted teeth. "Even if I die, I will never submit to you!"
Chen Xuanqing sneered and said, "Submit? You're mistaken. I'm not trying to make you submit. I just want to help you solve a problem that's plagued you for years."
"It seems that because your martial soul is a mutated phoenix martial soul, there's always been an evil fire inside you forcing you to seek out women. Don't worry. From now on, you won't have that urge anymore."
