Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 100 Zhu Zhuqing, with a Deeply Thoughtful Mind

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had been forced to the edge of a cliff a hundred meters deep. She maintained her offensive stance while warily watching the four Soul Masters.

"Little girl, why bother? As long as you serve us well, we'll not only heal your injuries, but we'll also give you a huge amount of gold soul coins."

"Come on, be good. You're just a catwoman and you can't fly. Don't joke around with your life. This cliff is at least a hundred meters deep. If you fall, you'll be gone forever."

The Soul Master was trying to distract Zhu Zhuqing with words when he suddenly noticed that she looked like she was about to trip. His expression tightened.

"Let's do it."

The two Soul Masters with spider-like martial souls swiftly activated their second Soul Skills. Two purple webs simultaneously shot out from Zhu Zhuqing's two flanks, the spider silk coated with a sticky and extremely chilling green spider venom.

When Zhu Zhuqing realized their attack and prepared to dodge, it was already too late. Two spider webs tightly bound her body, especially her limbs, which felt as if they were nailed to an iron plate. No matter how she struggled, the spider webs only tightened their grip.

"You scum of the Soul Master world will get your retribution sooner or later."

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who was bound, watched as the four soul masters were rubbing their hands together and approaching her in an extremely lewd manner. She felt an unprecedented sense of fear.

She had escaped Zhu Zhuyun's pursuit, but she never expected to fall into the hands of these four greedy and lustful soul masters. She didn't believe in fate, but it seemed that this was her ultimate destiny.

Two tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. Zhu Zhuqing had completely lost her previous fierce resistance. Her eyes were vacant as she looked at the blue sky. She was already prepared to die with everyone else at any time, knowing what was about to happen.

However, just as that Soul Master was about to pounce on Zhu Zhuqing from above, to experience the exhilarating feeling of "there are always people stronger than you"...

A dark red spear, crackling with electric arcs, pierced the sky. Ji Wuming's control of his strength was impeccable; the Blood Thunder Spear pierced directly through the Soul Venerable's skull, and the spear tip was less than 0.01 centimeters from Zhu Zhuqing's brow.

In an instant, the already deceased Soul Lord's flesh and bones were separated. His body turned into wisps of blood and was devoured by the spear. Just as his entire skeleton was about to collapse onto Zhu Zhuqing's chest,

The entire skeleton, like rotten dead wood, turned to ashes with a gentle breeze, completely dissolving into dust before Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

The three Great Soul Masters, who were preparing for the second round of testing, saw their leader reduced to nothingness in less than a second. They immediately turned and fled in terror.

"Since I've run into you, stay and keep me company."

A powerful pressure emanating from a Soul King level forcefully pressed the three Great Soul Masters, who hadn't run far, to the ground, rendering them unable to move.

"Sir, please spare our lives."

Ji Wuming gracefully landed from under a large tree. Zhu Zhuqing, freed from her restraints, struggled to sit up. Looking at the powerful, white-haired, handsome man before her, she felt immense fear.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Zhu, Zhu Zhuqing."

Zhu Zhuqing replied weakly, her voice trembling.

Ji Wuming looked at Zhu Zhuqing in front of him. He had originally planned to let her kill the three Great Soul Masters herself, but when he saw that Zhu Zhuqing was showing signs of poisoning and unconsciousness,

"You three, die."

The pressure of soul power suddenly intensified, and the three Great Soul Masters who were prostrate on the ground were completely crushed by the pressure of soul power.

Zhu Zhuqing was genuinely startled by what she saw. Although this person had indirectly saved her life, his strength was indeed too great. What would she do if he did something beastly to her?

Just as Ji Wuming was about to ask Zhu Zhuqing for more details, she collapsed due to the spider venom and the recurrence of her old injuries. Ji Wuming quickly caught her, then carried her on his shoulder and headed towards the location of the main force.

Ji Wuming carried Zhu Zhuqing out of the woods and boarded a carriage nearby. As he prepared to remove her clothes to check her injuries...

Ji Wuming then realized that men and women should be treated differently, so he immediately jumped off the carriage and asked the female pharmacist from the Yang family to treat his injuries.

Several hours later, Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes and found herself lying in a carriage. A bandage was wrapped around her waist, and the burning sensation from it caused her pain, but her injuries were also healing rapidly.

"Who are you? What's wrong with me? You wouldn't happen to be here, would you?"

"You are injured right now, so stay calm. If I really wanted to hurt you, why would I bother bringing you back to treat your wounds?"

Only then did Zhu Zhuqing realize that the man in front of her had not taken advantage of her vulnerability, but had genuinely wanted to help her, and she was very grateful.

After seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had relaxed, Ji Wuming continued,

"My name is Ji Wuming. May I ask where you're from and where you plan to go in the future?"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't answer Ji Wuming, but looked at him with surprise.

"So you're the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy student who joined the Soul Sect three years ago?"

"it's me."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ji Wuming waited for a long time, and after Zhu Zhuqing thought for a long time, she slowly spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I'll leave as soon as my injuries heal a bit."

Ji Wuming felt helpless dealing with Zhu Zhuqing, who kept everyone at arm's length and kept all her thoughts hidden. Based on his current analysis, the extremely calculating Zhu Zhuqing was probably utterly disappointed in Dai Mubai.

At the same time, she was also caught in a period of uncertainty about the future and didn't know where to go.

It was precisely because of this that he encountered four truly evil Soul Masters. Otherwise, under Shrek Academy's protection, how could she have been in such a sorry state!

Ji Wuming still admired Zhu Zhuqing. The reason she was so calculating was because she had been overshadowed by her two older sisters since childhood, and had also been used as a bargaining chip in a political marriage from a young age.

This led her to work even harder, while also harboring a painful past of hardship and oppression deep within her heart, ultimately shaping her into a hardworking yet deeply hidden personality.

"Oh well, whatever."

Since she was unwilling to talk about it, he wouldn't force her. According to his original plan, besides Shi Mo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, there were three vacant spots on the Tian Dou Royal Academy team.

Zhu Zhuqing could have been brought in with the last spot, but now I have to consider a newcomer.
