—------------------—
Jiang Li’er smiled slightly and slowly approached. To everyone’s astonishment, she raised her right claw, covered in golden dragon scales, and slammed it down on Ma Hongjun’s head!
"Smack!"
A dull thud as the skull shattered.
Ma Hongjun’s eyes suddenly widened, his pupils dilated, and then his body went limp and he fell to the ground, completely lifeless.
"Fatty?!?"
Dai Mubai gasped in shock!
Everyone was stunned.
She just kills people like that?! This woman... she’s a monster!
The Shrek members stared blankly at Ma Hongjun’s gradually cooling corpse.
They only came out to help Tang San and Oscar obtain their third spirit ring, so how... how come one of their companions died before they even reached the Star Dou Great Forest?!
Zhao Wuji’s face was ashen as he stared intently at Jiang Li’er, but he dared not utter a single word.
Jiang Li’er clapped her hands, and the dragon claw retracted, returning to her fair and slender palm.
Her tone was flat, as if she had simply swatted a fly.
"Alright, you can all get out of here."
Zhao Wuji took a deep breath, suppressing his anger :"Mu Bai, carry Fatty on your back... let’s go back to the academy."
Dai Mubai stepped forward, trembling, and carried Ma Hongjun’s still-warm body on his back. The Shrek Seven Devils, like walking corpses, prepared to leave this nightmarish place.
However, a calm yet undeniable voice rang out.
"The rest of you can leave. Yu Xiaogang and that little rabbit... must stay."
The voice wasn’t loud, but it made everyone pause in their tracks.
Tang Hao who was watching from the shadows , frowned deeply, but still refrained from showing himself immediately.
The Shrek members turned around and looked at Jiang Bai.
Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice ,"Your Excellency, those two... don’t seem to have offended you, do they?"
Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu were ashen-faced.
Yu Xiaogang cursed inwardly,"Damn it! I shouldn’t have come along today!"
If it weren’t for Xiao San’s third spirit ring, why would I, the Grandmaster, have ventured out on this adventure?! It’s all that damned Ma Hongjun’s fault!
Xiao Wu’s hands and feet were ice-cold; oh no...
These two must have figured out I’m a soul beast! What should I do? What should I do?!
Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the crowd, Jiang Bai slowly raised his right hand.
Above his palm, a small, nine-colored glazed pagoda quietly appeared. The pagoda shimmered with a sacred light, and the Dragon God’s Heart at its apex shone like a star.
"What... kind of martial soul is this?"
Ning Rongrong’s eyes widened. As the young sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had never seen such a peculiar tower before!
With a flick of his wrist, Jiang Bai sent the small tower soaring into the air.
The next moment, two nine-colored beams of light shot out from the tower, precisely enveloping Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu!
The moment the beam of light hit them , their bodies stiffened instantly!
They tried to struggle, but it was like being stuck in quagmire; they couldn’t even move a finger. Their minds went blank, and they could only watch helplessly as their bodies rapidly froze, starting from their feet!
"Click, click- click—!"
The ice spread, freezing the two people into two ice sculptures in the blink of an eye! Through the crystal-clear ice, you could still see their wide-open eyes in terror and their slightly trembling eyelashes.
"receive."
Jiang Bai uttered a single word.
The Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda flashed with light , and the two ice sculptures, as if drawn by an invisible hand, flew towards the pagoda and disappeared into it!
"Xiao Wu! Teacher—!!"
Tang San let out a heart-wrenching roar and was about to rush forward.
Ning Rongrong was completely stunned.
This tower... can not only freeze things, but it can also hold living beings?! What kind of heaven-defying ability is this?!
Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, was also startled.
That kid was too fast! Before he could even react, Xiao Wu was taken away!
He couldn’t contain himself any longer. After watching the rabbit hunt for so many years, someone else had actually snatched it away?
Doesn’t he know that whatever the Tang family sets their sights on will eventually belong to the Tang family?!
Adding to the humiliation Jiang Li’er had just inflicted on Tang San, and the fact that Jiang Bai had kidnapped Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao decided to teach these two arrogant youngsters a lesson they would never forget.
A fierce glint flashed in Tang Hao’s eyes as he used his soul power to transmit his voice, his hoarse voice ringing directly in Jiang Bai’s ear.
"Boy, that rabbit is not for you to touch. If you release the rabbit immediately, I might spare your life."
Upon hearing the hoarse voice, Jiang Bai deduced that it could only be Tang Hao.
He showed no fear, a slight smile playing on his lips, and began to speak.
"What if I don’t let go?"
Tang Hao frowned and continued to transmit his voice :"There’s an open space ten miles to the east. Dare to... have a match?"
He didn’t want to reveal his identity to Tang San, so he had no choice but to stay away from the place.
Jiang Bai’s smile widened :"Okay."
He turned to Jiang Li’er and said gently ,"Li’er, wait here for a moment, I’ll be right back."
Jiang Li’er’s heart tightened :"Is it the person behind them? Is it dangerous?"
Jiang Bai ruffled her hair :"Don’t worry, I can handle it."
After saying that, he blurred into a blur and sped off towards the east.
Jiang Li’er watched Jiang Bai leave, took a deep breath, and looked at the Shrek Academy members again, her tone returning to its icy coldness.
"What, aren’t you going to get lost?"
Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth :"Let’s go."
"But... Xiao Wu and Master..."Tang San said anxiously.
Zhao Wuji interrupted him :"That’s none of my business! I must get you back safely first! Let’s go!"
he wanted to do now was go back and quickly find a healing-type Soul Master to heal his wounds. If things went well, he might even be able to reattach his arm. He didn’t care about Xiao Wu or Da Wu at all!
As for Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, needless to say, Yu Xiaogang came to Shrek Academy a few years ago and started pointing fingers everywhere. He had long been extremely dissatisfied with him, but he didn’t make a fuss because of Flander’s face.
Dai Mubai carried Ma Hongjun’s body on his back and left with heavy steps. Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment, then silently followed.
Tang San’s fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his nails digging deep into his palms, drawing blood. He stared intently in the direction Jiang Bai had disappeared, a mad glint in his eyes.
A moment later, he suddenly turned around and ran wildly eastward without regard for anything else!
"Xiao San!"Oscar exclaimed, but he couldn’t stop her.
Ning Rongrong watched Tang San’s departing figure, then looked at the heroic Jiang Li’er, gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.
She turned around, jogged to Jiang Li’er, looked up at the blonde woman who was much taller than her, and spoke in a clear voice.
"This... Miss, may I ask which sect or family you come from?"
Jiang Li’er crossed her arms and looked at her with great interest.
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and continued ,"I am Ning Rongrong, the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. With your talent and strength, if you wish to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I, as the young sect master, guarantee that you will at least obtain an elder’s position and enjoy the sect’s resources and offerings!"
"With your talent, if you receive the sect’s full support, breaking through to the Title Douluo level in the future will be no difficult task!"
Upon hearing this , the passersby who had not yet dispersed were all taken aback.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! One of the top three sects! They actually recruited them directly?!
Jiang Li’er raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on her lips, a hint of mockery flashing in her crimson eyes.
"What is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect anyway?"
...
Meanwhile , ten miles to the east.
a desolate open space, Jiang Bai stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the black-robed figure not far away.
A fierce wind howled, fluttering his clothes.
The nine-colored glazed pagoda appeared and disappeared behind them , while the heart of the dragon god shone with light.
