A Total Victory
"Bitch, how dare you fool around with another man behind my back!"
Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot, and his veins bulged. If losing to Xu De earlier had merely made him lose face, Zhu Zhuqing's "betrayal" had now truly awakened his intent to kill. The hatred of having one's wife stolen could not coexist under the same sky.
Zhu Zhuqing shot him a cold glance. She had originally wanted to retort that there was nothing between her and Xu De, but when she thought of the two pairs of twins behind Dai Mubai, she changed her words. "So what if I am? Wushuang is ten thousand times better than a coward like you who only knows how to run away!"
With that, she actually wrapped her arm around Xu De's right arm, then pressed her whole body against him. Feeling the faint touches from her body, Xu De made no pretense of restraint and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms. For a moment, their position was incomparably intimate.
It was not just Dai Mubai; even Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. She had only wanted to make Dai Mubai angry and had not expected Xu De to be so bold. A blush spread across Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks. She rarely interacted with people to begin with, let alone boys.
It was the first time she had encountered such bold behavior. Below the stage, Xiao Wu and Huo Wu were gritting their teeth. How was this bastard always flirting with new girls, and such beautiful ones at that? Shui Yue'er looked at Zhu Zhuqing with envy written all over her face. Ah, I'm so envious.
Shui Bing'er had no particular reaction, while Hu Liena looked at Dai Mubai with amusement. His fiancée was being held in the arms of the person who had just defeated him, right in front of everyone. Dai Mubai was probably going mad with rage. Although Ning Rongrong's expression did not change, for some reason, she felt a faint twinge of sourness in her heart.
By now, the people in the stands had also recognized the relationship between the two. There were only so many nobles in the Star Luo Empire, and the marriage alliance between the Zhu Family and the Dai Family was naturally no secret in the Sun Moon Empire, where the transmission of information was extremely advanced.
On the stage, Dai Mubai listened to the mockery and snickering around him and could no longer contain himself. "Bitch, die!"
After activating White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Mubai charged at Zhu Zhuqing like a furious tiger. His ferocious expression and thick fur made him look like a beast that had lost its mind.
Zhu Zhuqing did not sit and wait for death either. Since Xu De had said he would help her, what did she have to fear?
As the Hell Spirit Cat possessed her, both of Zhu Zhuqing's eyes changed color, her left turning dark green and her right clear blue. A pair of pitch-black cat ears pushed through her hair on either side of her head. Together with the skintight black clothes she wore, she was full of dangerous allure.
Dai Mubai, however, looked disdainful. The gap between a rank 27 Soul Grandmaster and a Soul Ancestor went without saying. If she had a Soul Tool, he might have been wary, but right now he only wanted to teach this bitch who had betrayed him a brutal lesson.
"Hell Stab!"
Although the Hell Spirit Cat was known for its speed, the White Tiger was no slouch in that regard either, and Dai Mubai's Soul Power was far stronger than hers. Zhu Zhuqing had no time to dodge now and could only unleash a Soul Skill to meet him head-on.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing charging at him with spikes extending from her hands, Dai Mubai did not let his guard down. He deployed White Tiger Protection Barrier and sent his right fist crashing toward her like a real tiger's claw.
Although Dai Mubai had just suffered a crushing defeat at Xu De's hands, the spectators in the stands did not believe for a moment that Zhu Zhuqing could withstand this attack. After all, they knew Xu De was strong, and they knew Dai Mubai was weak, but there was simply no reason for Zhu Zhuqing, a mere Soul Grandmaster, to win.
Ning Rongrong, Shui Bing'er, and the others also wore expressions of sympathy. Ning Rongrong in particular, despite her nasty temper, did not want to see Zhu Zhuqing injured by someone like Dai Mubai. "Xu Wushuang, you bastard, do something!"
Unlike the anxious Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu was quite calm. She had lived with Xu De for so long that she naturally knew how strong he was. More importantly, that bad guy would not allow anyone to hurt his woman.
Just as fist and claw were about to collide, Xu De's eyes glinted faintly, and a flash of purple light flickered around his fingers.
Zhu Zhuqing felt as though an unknown energy had entered her body. Her arms then seemed to become covered in scales, and her claws seemed to have grown a little longer. They also carried an aura full of destruction.
"Boom-"
A tremendous crash rang out, accompanied by Dai Mubai's scream. His right fist had actually been pierced by the spikes, and Zhu Zhuqing's arm seemed to possess tremendous strength. The recoil from their clash nearly shattered his right hand.
The stands fell deathly silent in an instant. Th-this, how was this possible? A Soul Grandmaster! She actually beat a Soul Ancestor head-on, and she was an Agility Attack System Soul Grandmaster against a Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor!
"Is this Dai Mubai really a Soul Ancestor?" A voice filled with doubt rang out from the stands. It carried no hint of mockery, but was instead full of sincerity.
Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at Xu De, who wore an expression as though none of this concerned him. Her eyes were full of questions, but Xu De spread his hands and showed no intention of explaining.
The gesture, which looked perfectly normal to anyone else, appeared entirely different to Dai Mubai. In his eyes, Zhu Zhuqing had crushed him and was now exchanging flirtatious looks with Xu De, treating him like a prop for their flirting.
"Bitch, flirting with your lover right in front of me! White Tiger Meteor Shower!"
A large number of spheres of light emerged from Dai Mubai's body again, though there were noticeably fewer than the first time, because his Soul Power had now been drained. Zhu Zhuqing turned her head, silver light shining from her eyes. To her, it was as if Dai Mubai's attack had been put into slow motion, moving like a crawling snail.
Zhu Zhuqing no longer dwelled on how Xu De had done it. A cold light flickered in her eyes as she mercilessly charged at Dai Mubai. Her sharp claws easily tore through his skin, while she managed to dodge every single attack from White Tiger Meteor Shower.
In moments, countless claw marks covered Dai Mubai's body. His once reasonably handsome face was now a gruesome sight, and his body, arms, and thighs were drenched in blood.
Looking at Dai Mubai, who had lost the ability to fight, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment before releasing her possessed state. She did not continue attacking.
She did hate Dai Mubai, but she could not abandon her family either. The Zhu Family and her parents were still in the Star Luo Empire. What could she do? Really kill Dai Mubai? Dai Mubai's wretched life was not worth wagering everything she had.
"Well? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Xu De came up beside Zhu Zhuqing and spoke with a slight smile.
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at him. "Hmph, all you know how to do is act mysterious." Though her words were still cold, Xu De could sense that she seemed to have relaxed all over.
"Bitch, you bitch, just you wait. You dared to betray our engagement. I'll have someone rape you first, then..."
Before Dai Mubai could finish his venomous words, Xu De shot in front of him like lightning. Xu De reached out with his right hand and picked Dai Mubai up like a chick. Dai Mubai was about to speak, his face full of shock, when both his cheeks instantly turned red and swollen, and teeth flew out with blood.
Xu De swung his left hand back and forth, slapping him as though whipping a spinning top.
"If I ever hear you say another word you shouldn't, you'll suffer a fate worse than death!"
Seeing Xu De deliver those icy words with an indifferent expression, Dai Mubai could only nod frantically. He had a premonition that if he dared say no, Xu De would absolutely do what he had said. He truly did not care that Dai Mubai was a prince of the Star Luo Empire.
