Perhaps shocked, the scene suddenly fell silent.
When the others had chosen to pressure Zhu Zhuqing earlier, they seemingly never imagined she would make such a choice.
The idea of "divorcing one's husband" was still too ahead of its time in this era. Not just the others, even Han Li hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to say these words.
He had thought Zhu Zhuqing would make a scene and then choose to leave, but he didn't anticipate she would directly confront them head-on and in such a bold manner.
However, looking at the stunned faces opposite her, Han Li felt extremely satisfied inside. Let's see how you like being on the receiving end of nastiness, he thought.
After a while, Dai Mubai was the first to react.
There was no help for it—Zhu Zhuqing's ultimate move had been directed at him, so naturally, his reaction was the most intense.
Dai Mubai's face turned beet red as anger surged in his heart: "What did you say?"
"I said, you've been divorced by me. Did you understand, you waste who only knows how to run away and mess around with women?"
Zhu Zhuqing repeated her words slowly and clearly, even increasing the level of insult.
"You're asking for death!"
Now completely enraged, Dai Mubai's soul power instantly surged as he launched an attack on Zhu Zhuqing.
At this point, he had been thoroughly ignited by anger. Zhu Zhuqing's words made him even more embarrassed than if she had slapped him twice in public.
He, the dignified third prince of the Star Luo Empire, was declared divorced by a vassal of the Zhu family in front of all his teammates. What kind of humiliation was this?
"Zhuqing..."
Ning Rongrong had just started to speak when she saw that Zhu Zhuqing had already completed her Martial Soul Possession at some unknown point.
The three soul rings above her head flashed in succession. Zhu Zhuqing pushed off the ground with her feet and took the initiative to rush toward Dai Mubai.
This action also woke Ning Rongrong up to reality—it was clear that Zhu Zhuqing had prepared to attack even before speaking. Otherwise, her reaction couldn't have been so fast.
"Hell Hundred Claws!"
Several flashes of ghostly light passed by as soul power materialized into several blade-like claws, attacking directly toward Dai Mubai's lower abdomen from a tricky angle.
If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly—this was Zhu Zhuqing's current mindset. After all, Han Li had said that no matter how big a scene she caused this time, he would help smooth things over.
Besides, even if Han Li went back on his word, she wouldn't lose out.
There was nothing left to care about anyway. Rather than being forced to complete the Martial fusion technique and lose herself, if she could thoroughly cripple Dai Mubai before dying and drag someone down with her, it would be worth it.
This was her rebellion against so-called fate. Do you like arranging other people's lives? Then let Dai Mubai be the first sacrifice from the Dai family.
As for the other people from the Zhu family, she didn't want to care for them, nor could she.
What kind of treatment the Zhu family would suffer afterward had nothing to do with her. After her death, why should she care about the consequences?
Moreover, let generation after generation of Zhu family descendants exist as puppets of the Dai family, just to ensure the family's prosperity and continuation—in her heart, it would be best if such a family was destroyed.
In this instant, she suddenly felt as if her spirit had come alive.
Her speed became even faster, and her soul power also suddenly increased by a large amount. She seemed to have broken through her previous speed limit, and her form became even more elusive and unpredictable.
"Boss Dai, defend!"
Tang San behind Dai Mubai truly lived up to his assassin background. The moment Zhu Zhuqing's soul rings flashed, he had already reacted.
But the group had come to intimidate in the first place, so their distance from Zhu Zhuqing was already quite close. Add to that the fact that she was an agility-type soul master who had just activated her soul ring skill, and Dai Mubai himself had taken a few steps forward in his attempt to attack.
At this point, using the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to pull Dai Mubai back was unrealistic, let alone using a skill to control Zhu Zhuqing.
Let's not even mention whether the strength of Blue Silver Grass could block Zhu Zhuqing's sharp attacks that were extremely effective against Tang San's Martial Soul. Just in terms of speed, he couldn't lock onto her.
He couldn't possibly activate Spider Web Restraint to control both of them together, could he? If he did that, Dai Mubai would be dead for sure.
Left with no choice, he could only activate his Purple Demon Eye. It wasn't aimed at Zhu Zhuqing but rather used a bit of spiritual power to wake up Dai Mubai and make him defend.
At the same time, he also quickly activated his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, while simultaneously activating the Mysterious Jade Hand. His hands turned the color of white jade as he moved to block Zhu Zhuqing's attack.
Tang San's reminder did give Dai Mubai some reaction time. He was slightly stunned, then felt his mind clear up a bit, but at the same time, he also noticed the streaks of soul power light coming towards his vital area.
"White Tiger Protection..."
But obviously, it was too late. Zhu Zhuqing had attacked with intent, so how could she give him time to activate his soul skill?
Several ghostly lights approached Dai Mubai's lower abdomen under everyone's horrified gazes.
Clang clang clang!
Tang San managed to make it at the last moment. He used the Dragon Capturing and Crane Controlling technique to slightly adjust Dai Mubai's position, while his Mysterious Jade Hands made contact with Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Hundred Claws.
"Hmmp!"
Tang San endured the intense pain in his hands but heard Zhu Zhuqing's voice.
Of course, accompanying it was Dai Mubai's scream that echoed throughout the entire training ground.
At this point, Zhu Zhuqing had transformed back into a ghostly shadow and returned to her original spot without attacking again. Her goal had been achieved—Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hands hadn't blocked all of her attacks.
Tang San looked back, only to see Dai Mubai already kneeling on the ground, clutching his lower body. Fresh blood flowed from between his fingers, with some trickling down his legs towards the ground.
"Boss Dai!"
Tang San quickly came to his side, and without thinking, channeled soul power to his fingertips and pressed several points on Dai Mubai's abdomen and legs. He had some rudimentary knowledge of acupuncture but didn't know how severe the injury was.
"Xiao Wu, quickly go find Xiao Ao to come here!"
Tang San said, sending Xiao Wu away but....
Dai Mubai's scream had already alerted Oscar, who was in the middle of cultivation. He had already stood up, while Yu Xiaogang, who had been at the edge of the training ground, was also anxiously sprinting towards them.
"Fatty, don't just stand there, use this to cover up!"
Seeing Ma Hongjun still standing stupidly in place, Tang San angrily shouted, taking out a piece of clothing from Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges and throwing it to him, indicating for him to use the clothes to cover the front.
"Boss Dai, I'm sorry, but bear with it for a moment!"
Tang San couldn't wait for Dai Mubai's response. A dagger appeared in his hand as he directly cut open the hem of Dai Mubai's clothes, then couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
It was terrible, too terrible. Only a layer of skin was still connected. He couldn't help but tremble.
"Save me, Xiao San, I know you can do it..."
Where was Dai Mubai's anger now? Only panic remained. His usual dominance and composure had disappeared who knows where. He didn't even dare to look down, just strongly enduring the slightly lessened pain as he begged.
"Alright, I'll do my best..."
Tang San gritted his teeth, purple light flowing in his eyes. His hands hesitated as they stretched forward, but in the end, he chose to use the Dragon Capturing and Crane Controlling technique. He didn't dare to touch it with his hands.
He hadn't imagined that his Tang Sect martial arts would shine in such a situation.
Relying on his fairly good spiritual power, plus the aid of two great techniques, he finally managed to roughly align the wound.
"Oscar, quick, the sausage!"
Oscar had just run over, not yet understanding what had happened when he saw this scene. His body shook and his teeth even began to chatter.
"Hurry up!"
Tang San had no time to explain and shouted at Oscar.
"I, your Father, have Super Recovery Big Sausage!"
Tang San usually had some authority in the group. This shout directly woke Oscar up. Without thinking, he subconsciously produced the sausage.
"What are you standing there for? Feed it to Boss Dai, then keep making more."
Tang San was almost breaking down inside. He hadn't expected that these former teammates of his, when truly encountering a situation, would be so useless. Weren't they all so cocky in the arena?
"Oh, oh."
Oscar finally came to his senses, stuffing the sausage in his hand into the kneeling Dai Mubai's mouth, then began to repeat the process.
At this time, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had finally rushed over, panting as he looked at the group.
"Xiao San, what happened?"
He had only seen the others walk towards Zhu Zhuqing, then after exchanging just a few words, the two had started fighting, with Tang San even helping. Then Dai Mubai was kneeling and screaming.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San's mentality completely exploded. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't free up his hands, he wanted to shoot an arrow from the sleeve crossbow on his wrist right into Yu Xiaogang's throat.
Don't bring up the worst possible topic, okay? Is it so hard to walk over and take a look instead of wasting time asking questions?
And also, what kind of lousy solution was this? Now it's unknown whether Dai Mubai can even function as a man anymore, and even if he's healed, how will he, who took the lead in this matter, deal with the aftermath?
Even if Dai Mubai has fallen from grace, he's still a prince of a country. Everything is ruined, and all of this is because of Yu Xiaogang's suggestion.
Instantly, his gaze towards Yu Xiaogang was filled with killing intent. It was the kind of look that wanted to finish him off.
Yu Xiaogang was startled by the killing intent in Tang San's eyes and couldn't help but take two steps back. At this moment, he also realized something was wrong and knew that his words just now had stepped on a landmine for the group.
He had to make amends, and quickly find a way to remedy the situation.
He swore that his brain had never worked so fast before, not even when he proposed the Ten Core Competitiveness of Martial Soul.
He quickly walked forward a few steps, craned his neck to look, and his hand holding the clothes temporarily used as a cover couldn't help but tremble. This was an instinctive reaction to being a man.
"There's still hope. Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu."
The names of relevant people flashed through his mind, and he quickly locked onto one person. He hurriedly turned his head to look at Xiao Wu standing in the distance and called out:
"Quick, go at your fastest speed to the Heaven Dou Emperor Team's training ground. Please ask Miss Ye Lingling to come over. Tell her someone is seriously injured and needs her treatment."
His words also made the others here react. That's right, how could they have forgotten about the existence of the Nine Heart Flowering Apple soul master? The strongest healing-type soul master was just next door.
Nine Heart Flowering Apple is reputed to be able to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bare bones. It must work, a glimmer of hope rose in both Tang San and Dai Mubai's hearts.
