Chapter 7 Intimate Contact with Zhu Zhuqing
Chapter 7 Intimate Contact with Zhu Zhuqing
Zhao Wuji raised his right leg and stomped it hard on the ground.
"boom!!!"
A terrifying shockwave exploded outwards from Zhao Wuji in all directions.
The floor shattered like paper, and rubble mixed with shockwaves swept in like a tsunami.
"Jump!" Ye Chen shouted and leaped up first.
Tang San and Xiao Wu followed closely behind, and Zhu Zhuqing also lightly jumped into the air.
However, Ning Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master, and her physical attributes are the weakest, so her jumping height is obviously insufficient.
As she watched the approaching shockwave beneath her feet, her face instantly turned deathly pale—
She will be swallowed up.
At this critical moment, a figure moved.
Ye Chen's eyes sharpened, and he pulled out the sublimator with his right hand. A card drew an arc in the air and was precisely inserted into the card slot.
"Tang San, lend me your power!"
Blue Silver Grass vines surged wildly from his palm, like a serpent soaring through the air, instantly wrapping around Ning Rongrong's waist.
"come over!"
Ye Chen suddenly pulled, and Ning Rongrong was pulled into the air towards him.
He put one arm around her waist and used the other to control the vines to maintain his balance. The two of them landed almost touching each other.
The shockwave swept past their feet, shattering a row of wooden stakes behind them into fragments.
Ning Rongrong, still shaken, leaned against Ye Chen's chest, her face slightly flushed: "Th...thank you."
[Close contact with Ning Rongrong, energy value +3%]
"You're welcome." Ye Chen released his grip, his gaze already passing over Ning Rongrong and landing on Dai Mubai not far away.
Energy level is the key factor.
He pulled Ning Rongrong towards Dai Mubai, pinching Dai Mubai's arm twice as he did so: "Boss Dai, are you alright? Let me see if you're hurt!"
Dai Mubai shuddered: "You're doing it again?!"
"I'm not a combat participant, what does this have to do with me!"
[Dai Mubai's energy level increased from 87% to 92%]
"Can I touch you after I've finished hitting you?"
Dai Mubai shook off Ye Chen's hand and took three steps back with a look of disgust.
Ning Rongrong stared in disbelief, "What...what's your relationship?"
"It's okay!" Dai Mubai roared loudly.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at them coldly without saying a word.
But she noticed that Ye Chen's method of saving Ning Rongrong was clean, efficient, and timely, and did not seem like a spur-of-the-moment reaction at all.
This person has been hiding their true strength.
After the shockwave subsided, the battle resumed.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing launched their attacks simultaneously.
Xiao Wu charged in from the side, fully activating her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, her waist arched, ready to strike.
Zhu Zhuqing cut in from behind, and the Netherworld Cat's sharp claws aimed straight for Zhao Wuji's nape.
Extremely fast speed, perfect teamwork.
But Zhao Wuji didn't even turn around; seven spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.
The first spirit ring flashed.
"First Soul Skill, Immovable King Body."
A layer of golden light appeared on his body, like an impenetrable wall.
Xiao Wu's bent waist and kicked the light shield. The recoil made her stagger back three steps, and her feet went numb.
Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws sliced through the light barrier, leaving only a few shallow white marks. The next second—
Zhao Wuji struck back with a palm, unleashing a burst of energy.
"Bang!"
Zhu Zhuqing was blasted away.
Her hands were covered in blood—her nails were broken, her thumbs were split open, and the cuffs of her black leather jacket were shattered, revealing her arms covered in wounds.
His body tumbled in the air, about to crash heavily to the ground.
Xiao Wu was also knocked back, but Ye Chen immediately used his Blue Silver Vines to pull her back to his side.
But Zhu Zhuqing was too close to Zhao Wuji; he didn't have time to pull her up with the vines.
Ye Chen leaped into the air, and the Blue Silver Grass wove a net in the air, cushioning Zhu Zhuqing's fall.
Then he scooped her up with both hands and carried her in a princess carry, catching her in his arms.
Zhu Zhuqing was held horizontally in his arms.
Beneath the black leather jacket lay numerous scars, and for the first time, a hint of panic appeared on her usually cold and aloof face.
"Let...let me go!"
She struggled desperately, but her arms were so badly injured that she couldn't muster any strength.
Her slender fingers futilely pushed against Ye Chen's chest, but it was as powerless as a kitten scratching someone.
[Close contact with Zhu Zhuqing increases energy by 6%]
"Don't move, you're hurt."
Ye Chen looked down at her.
Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, turned her head away, and stopped struggling.
But her ears were already bright red.
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth from a distance: "Wow..."
Xiao Wu's eyes changed slightly, and her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.
Watching this scene, Dai Mubai felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
Ye Chen had never been so gentle with him before; he would only touch him, pinch him, and pat his shoulder, like inspecting livestock.
Tang San silently withdrew his gaze and focused intently on Zhao Wuji.
Xiao Wu's gaze lingered on Ye Chen's face for a second; she had seen that princess carry clearly.
Brother Chen is so mean!
Ye Chen turned and walked to the center of the battlefield, standing shoulder to shoulder with Tang San.
The two exchanged a glance.
No words were needed; years of tacit understanding erupted at this moment.
"Blue Silver Grass, Double Entanglement!"
Countless vines surged wildly from the ground, binding Zhao Wuji from head to toe into a giant cocoon of grass. Layer upon layer, dense and impenetrable.
"Well done!"
A muffled groan suddenly came from inside the cocoon.
"ha!"
Zhao Wuji exerted his strength suddenly, and all the Blue Silver Grass broke into pieces, the fragments flying everywhere, like a green snowfall.
Just as he broke free—
A figure descended from the sky.
Xiao Wu!
She had somehow moved to directly above Zhao Wuji's head, her legs together, her body leaning back, using her last bit of strength—
He kicked Zhao Wuji hard in the face!
"Bang!!!"
The voice was deep and solid, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Zhao Wuji fell backward and landed hard on the ground.
The playground was deathly silent.
Dai Mubai's eyes widened, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg: "You...you kicked it down?"
Ning Rongrong jumped up excitedly: "Amazing!"
Zhu Zhuqing also widened her eyes slightly, looking at the girl falling from the sky, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Zhao Wuji got up from the ground, rubbed his reddened face, and smiled.
"Little girl, you're quite strong."
But his smile changed the next second.
Raise your right palm, and golden light condenses.
"Second Soul Skill, Mighty Vajra Palm."
The target was Xiao Wu.
If that palm strike had landed squarely, Xiao Wu would definitely have been seriously injured.
"Xiao Wu!" Tang San's expression changed drastically. He wanted to rush over, but the distance was too far, and it was too late.
Ye Chen reacted even faster.
The blue silver vines shot out instantly, wrapped around Xiao Wu's waist, and pulled her sharply towards him.
At the same time, he activated the Blue Silver Grass's second soul skill—
parasitic.
Countless tiny grass seeds fell from Xiao Wu's body, growing wildly the moment Zhao Wuji's palm struck, like countless thin snakes coiling around his wrist.
The speed of the Mighty Vajra Palm was slowed down for a moment.
It was in that instant of delay that Xiao Wu was successfully pulled away.
