Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing, who thought she had successfully scared off the five people, was unaware that they had quietly circled back from another direction.
However, the situation with the five people earlier made Zhu Zhuqing much more vigilant.
She kept looking around.
Perhaps due to the aftershocks of the terrifying battle between the two Soul Beast, no other Soul Beast dared to approach.
This relieved Zhu Zhuqing, but just when Zhu Zhuqing thought everything would be fine, an accident happened.
Lu Zhi and his group of five had already approached Xiao Yan's location.
"Big brother, it's just a kid!"
Looking at Xiao Yan sitting in the open space, and the corpses of Soul Beast lying around him, Lu Zhi and the others' eyes instantly turned sinister.
"Damn it, I really got fooled by that little girl!"
Anger flashed in Lu Zhi's eyes. By this time, they had all realized that the " Uncle Jian " Zhu Zhuqing had mentioned was just a fictitious title.
"Go, this kid probably took advantage of the two Soul Beast' weakness to sneak in and absorb their Soul Ring. Let's deal with this kid first, then we'll deal with that little wench."
The five of them silently approached Xiao Yan's location.
However, just as they made that move, a cold light suddenly appeared from their side, already approaching one of them.
"Fourth brother!"
A cold light flashed, and Lu Zhi, who was in the middle, was the first to react. His yellow Soul Skill flickered, and a green light shot out from his hand, heading straight for the direction where Zhu Zhuqing had appeared.
"Sizzle!"
The green light shattered under Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws, and the claws, shimmering with a faint pink light, landed on the man's left arm.
"Click!"
The sound of bones cracking rang out, and the others reacted, unleashing their Soul Skill towards Zhu Zhuqing's location.
" Earth-Shaking Wave!"
" The Giant Ape's Long Howl!"
" Wind Shadow Shield!"
However, as their Soul Skill landed, Zhu Zhuqing's figure had already disappeared again, leaving only wisps of pink ripples fading away.
Zhu Zhuqing appeared a short distance away from the five people, her face ashen. She crouched on a tree trunk and observed them through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
The Soul Master who was attacked by Zhu Zhuqing had his left arm twisted abnormally, clearly indicating that it was broken.
In fact, if Lu Zhi hadn't been the first to notice Zhu Zhuqing's attack and interfere with Zhu Zhuqing, he would probably already be a corpse.
Zhu Zhuqing's elusive and unpredictable assassination methods also terrified the five of them.
Especially the fourth brother, who had teetered on the brink of death, had a look of fear and anger in his eyes.
However, he did not wail at this moment. Instead, he gritted his teeth and used his clothes to wrap Zhu Zhuqing's torn left arm to reduce the loss of blood.
With the five people back to back, observing each other's blind spots, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer launch a sneak attack.
In a short time, the five of them had found the best way to deal with Zhu Zhuqing.
"Girl, my five brothers and I are just after money. It doesn't make sense for you to try and kill us right away."
Lu Zhi's eyes flashed, and he shouted to the surroundings.
As for his talk of seeking wealth, everyone knows it's nothing but nonsense.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to see if Zhu Zhuqing would speak. As long as Zhu Zhuqing spoke, they would be able to determine which direction Zhu Zhuqing in.
With five against one, the advantage is in their hands.
Once they can locate Zhu Zhuqing, they can gradually narrow down the area and wear down their opponent.
Agility Attack System Soul Master are most afraid of being restricted.
However, Zhu Zhuqing did not speak after Lu Zhi finished speaking, and they could tell that Zhu Zhuqing was not the kind of impulsive person.
"Never mind that girl, deal with that kid who's absorbing the Soul Ring first."
Lu Zhi's gaze swept across the room and then settled on Xiao Yan.
If Xiao Yan makes a move, Zhu Zhuqing will definitely have to show up. Even if she doesn't, it would be good to deal with a kid who's engrossed in absorbing Soul Ring first.
"Call out!"
As expected, just as Lu Zhi and his five companions were about to make a move, a whooshing sound suddenly came, piercing towards the chest of the leading Soul Master.
" Earth-Rending Armor!"
A surge of earthy yellow Soul Power appeared, and the third brother, who had previously had a lewd look in his eyes, suddenly had a layer of earthy yellow armor appear on his body, enveloping his entire body.
As soon as the armor was completed, he felt a tremendous force coming from his chest.
Looking down, he saw an arrow strike his protective Soul Power and fall helplessly.
"Whoosh!"
However, the arrow also revealed Zhu Zhuqing's location.
Of the five, two immediately moved in the direction from which the arrows came, one on the left and one on the right, coordinating perfectly.
However, when they arrived at the spot where the arrow had been fired, they were shocked to find that a powerful crossbow was fixed to a tree trunk, with the other end controlled by a thin rope.
" Xiao Xin!"
The two exclaimed in surprise, and once again, the sound of air being torn apart echoed from where Lu Zhi and the other two were.
But just as the two turned around to provide support, Zhu Zhuqing's figure appeared again like Gui Mei, standing atop a tree not far from the first crossbow.
" Love Threads Severing Moon Slash!"
Zhu Zhuqing's figure emerged from the shadows, and a pale red crescent-shaped energy roared out, falling towards the two people with their backs to her.
"Laugh!"
The person closest to Zhu Zhuqing didn't even have time to react before being sliced in half at the waist. However, because of his presence, the second Soul Master was able to react as well.
" Wind Feather Wind-Soaring Steps!"
Under the threat of death, the second Soul Master instantly unleashed his potential, achieving a speed that was almost unprecedented in history.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's evolved Love Threads Severing Moon Slash not only possesses offensive power, but also comes with the ability to manipulate emotions.
As he watched the pale red crescent-shaped energy envelop him, a sudden pang of pain rose in his heart:
My second brother is dead, my second brother is dead, why should I live?
I'd rather be dead...
And so, his movements froze for a moment.
"Fifth Brother, what the hell are you spacing out for!"
At the critical moment, a green Ghost Vine roared out and blocked the space between him and Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Skill.
Lu Zhi's call made him react instantly. Without time to think, he staggered backward. In that brief moment of hesitation, the Love Threads Severing Moon Slash had already left a finger-deep wound on his chest.
If Lu Zhi hadn't warned him, he probably would have perished under Zhu Zhuqing's attack as well.
As "Old Fourth" returned to Lu Zhi's side, Zhu Zhuqing's figure also appeared in the same spot.
Beneath a layer of light purple down, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes had turned golden-red. Ripples spread out beneath her feet, a result of the Love Threads Steps, which was why the others hadn't discovered Zhu Zhuqing presence.
In a brief exchange, Zhu Zhuqing used two crossbow bolts to mislead her opponent into misjudging her position, allowing her to use the Love Threads Severing Moon Slash to kill one person and injure another.
Zhu Zhuqing attacked twice, taking on five opponents single-handedly, resulting in one death and two injuries.
While Zhu Zhuqing's strength may not be as extraordinary as Xiao Yan's, she is no weaker than anyone among the younger generation.
"Boss!"
Having escaped the threat of death, the fifth brother finally spoke in terror. Having directly experienced Zhu Zhuqing's terrifying power, a trace of regret finally surfaced in his heart.
"Stop dawdling, kill her!"
These men were all bloodthirsty scoundrels, and now that they had become enemies with Zhu Zhuqing, they knew that neither side would have a good ending.
Just then, the third and fifth Soul Master, who had been attacked by Zhu Zhuqing, spoke up in a somewhat flustered manner:
"This bitch's attacks are rather strange. The wounds... the wounds have a corrosive effect, consuming my Soul Power."
After evolution, the Love Shadow Cat Claw Strike has an additional effect. " Marks of Love's Sorrow," which causes wounds that are difficult to heal and will continuously erode the target's Soul Power.
"Let's attack together!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the remaining four people, her golden-red eyes filled with indifference, and directly chose to take the initiative.
His purple Soul Ring flashed as he leaped behind a giant tree trunk, using it as leverage to push off, and reappeared in the four people's sight.
However, instead of heading forward, they chose to detour from the side, seemingly wanting to create distance between themselves and the four.
"Fourth brother, you and I deal with this little wench. Third and fifth brothers, you two go and take care of that kid!"
Lu Zhi spoke, and the thin, sinister young man in the group followed him to chase after Zhu Zhuqing. He then assigned the two injured Soul Master to deal with Xiao Yan, who was still absorbing Soul Ring.
However, as Lu Zhi and Lao Si continued their pursuit, they suddenly realized that Zhu Zhuqing's strength seemed a bit off.
Before they could even think about it...
Behind them, the two screamed in terror once more, followed by Zhu Zhuqing's indifferent voice.
" Love Threads Severing Moon Slash!"
Ghost Shadow Clone!
The moment Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to attack, she used the giant tree as cover to unleash her fourth Soul Skill.
What Lu Zhi and Lao Si were chasing was merely a clone used to distract them!
