Chapter 40 Making Dai Mubai Vanish from the World
Seeing Zhou Chen slowly walking over, wanting to take Dai Mubai's life, everyone in the hotel lobby was stunned.
Dai Mubai's double pupils widened instantly due to fear. He shouted while appearing severe but weak inside, "I am the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire. If you dare to kill me, the Star Luo Imperial Family will absolutely not let you off!"
"Hehe, you speak as if the Star Luo Imperial Family would not send people to kill me if I let you go."
Zhou Chen sneered and walked to a spot three meters in front of Dai Mubai. He whispered, "Scumbag Dai, I am Zhou Chen, the Chen for stardust. Since I was six years old, your Star Luo Imperial Family has been sending people to assassinate me!"
"Therefore, your threat has absolutely no effect."
"You..."
Hearing these words, Dai Mubai spoke with instant and great terror. "You are that person who triggered the heaven and earth anomalies..."
"You guessed correctly. It is a pity that the reward for you is death."
Zhou Chen chuckled and spoke. "By the way, I heard your Imperial Brother Dai Weisi really wants you to die. Perhaps if I kill you, he might even thank me!"
Having spoken, Zhou Chen raised one hand and clenched it into a fist. Golden light surged upon the fist!
"Zhou Chen!"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly shouted. Her eyes were filled with intolerance and hesitation, looking as if she wanted to speak but stopped.
Although she hated Dai Mubai's evasion, and hated his cowardice, selfishness, and unfaithfulness, they had known each other since childhood after all. Zhu Zhuqing could not bear to watch him die helplessly.
And just in the split second that Zhou Chen turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai's feet stomped the ground fiercely. His whole person was like an arrow leaving the string, instantly rushing out of the hotel's main door and fleeing until not even his shadow could be seen.
Seeing that Dai Mubai had fled, Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief. However, Zhou Chen did not give chase.
Because there was no need. He had long arranged for the people of the Ziwei Palace to wait outside the hotel to intercept and kill Dai Mubai.
The reason Zhou Chen spoke so much nonsense to Dai Mubai just now, and even deliberately turned his head when Zhu Zhuqing called out to him, was to give Dai Mubai a chance to escape.
This was to avoid dirtying Zhou Chen's hands in public and polluting Zhou Chen's pure and flawless reputation.
Moreover, humans are not grass or trees; who can be without emotion? If he killed Dai Mubai here, Zhu Zhuqing would definitely develop a massive psychological shadow. It might even cause Zhou Chen's pursuit of her to fall short of success at the last stage.
Therefore, it was better to let this evil tiger out and slaughter him in a place where everyone could not see!
"Alright, Zhuqing, I have let him go, for your sake."
Zhou Chen turned around and gazed at Zhu Zhuqing with affectionate eyes. His tone was sincere, speaking as if it were true.
"Thank... thank you."
Being confessed to in public, Zhu Zhuqing blushed. However, she still bravely looked directly at Zhou Chen and accepted this affection.
She had always been a girl who dared to love and dared to hate!
"Be together! Be together!"
Seeing the two successfully paired up, the two girls Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu at the side instantly heckled excitedly. Tang San and the other guests and waiters in the hotel also looked at Zhou Chen with admiration and applauded in blessing!
Everything was as beautiful as a painting, except for Dai Mubai who was fleeing for his life...
The current Dai Mubai did not even dare to take the main road. He specifically chose small paths to flee for his life, using this to avoid Zhou Chen's possible pursuit.
Moreover, within Suotuo City was Shrek Academy Dean Flender's pawnshop. Fleeing through the small paths would also allow him to rush there faster.
Dai Mubai believed that Dean Flender would definitely be able to protect him!
However, when Dai Mubai fled into a long and narrow alley again, he faintly felt something was wrong.
This was because within this small alley, there was actually not a single person. Moreover, it was excessively quiet! Based on his experience, there was definitely an ambush here!
"Who are you? Come out!"
Dai Mubai spoke coldly, a chill abruptly rising in his heart.
At this time, one of his arms had a comminuted fracture, and his chest and lungs had suffered heavy trauma. He could not even display thirty percent of his full strength.
"Very alert."
A gloomy and cold voice sounded. In the next moment, more than ten Soul Masters dressed in white clothes, draped in purple cloaks, and wearing Big Dipper Seven Stars badges on their chests blocked all the exits and entrances of this small alley. Even the rooftops had people staring down.
And in front of Dai Mubai was a youth dressed in a blood-red greatcloak with a pale yet handsome face.
The youth performed an elegant hand-over-chest salute, but his voice spoke gloomily and coldly. "Allow me to introduce myself. This humble one is Xiao Chenyu, Commander of the Tianji Guards under the Ziwei Palace."
As soon as his voice fell, beneath Xiao Chenyu's feet, one white, one yellow, two purple, and one black—five soul rings were slowly rising!
"Soul King!!"
Dai Mubai felt despair in his heart. He did not expect that this youth before him, who was not much older than him, was actually a Soul King above Level 50!!
What Dai Mubai did not know was that just a few days ago, Xiao Chenyu was still only a Level 47 Soul Ancestor. It was only by relying on the Blood Fiend Art bestowed by Zhou Chen that he fiercely improved to Level 50. After hunting a Ten Thousand Year soul ring, he formally became a Level 51 Soul King!
"Who sent you to kill me? Was it that person just now? Or my older brother Dai Weisi?"
Dai Mubai leaned against the wall and shouted with some despair.
"Why ask so clearly? Those who kill will be killed. Your Star Luo Imperial Family is overbearing and cold-blooded, even chasing down a small child. You should have the awareness of suffering retribution at any time!"
Xiao Chenyu sneered. Wasting no more words, he circulated the Blood Fiend Art and attacked instantly!
Today, he could be considered to have a legitimate reason to drink his fill of human blood! And it was the blood of the Evil Eye White Tiger, a disciple of the Star Luo Imperial Family!
After he absorbed Dai Mubai's precious bloodline, presumably his soul power could increase by a few more levels!
