Chapter 156: Capturing Meng Yiran Alive, The Phoenix Tailed Crested Serpent Suddenly Rises!
Meng Shu wanted to go support his granddaughter, but Zhao Wuji stopped him.
Zhao Wuji chuckled. "Senior Meng, don't be in a hurry. My students won't hurt your granddaughter. They're just playing around."
This was Zhao Wuji's plan.
Even though the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Meng Shu's strength was already higher than Zhao Wuji's. Meng Shu did not need to reveal any trump cards to deal with him, and that gave Zhao Wuji the opening he needed.
He held Meng Shu back alone, forcefully separating the couple. Then he had Yu Tianlin block Chao Tianxiang. With the 2 elders split apart, the Shrek Seven Devils could take the chance to capture Meng Yiran alive.
If they could seize Meng Yiran, the problem would naturally be solved.
Get out of my way.
A terrifying surge of Spirit Power gathered. Behind Meng Shu, a massive phantom of a dragon headed cane formed, showing he was preparing to use his Martial Soul True Form.
"It's useless."
Zhao Wuji was not alarmed at all. Instead, he pulled out a 7 colored sphere from somewhere. If one looked closely, it seemed like a candy bean.
Zhao Wuji said, "This is the True Form of a food type Spirit Saint's Martial Soul, Tangdou. As long as I eat it, even if Senior Dragon Duke truly fights desperately, you still won't be able to defeat me."
This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest included Yu Tianlin, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong.
The most important disciples of the 3 upper sects were all present, so their safety was obviously critical. That was why, even though only Zhao Wuji, a Spirit Saint, was leading the team, he still carried trump cards to prevent accidents. Having Tangdou Martial Soul True Body was completely reasonable.
Seeing the 7 colored candy in Zhao Wuji's hand, and sensing the Spirit Power fluctuations within it, Meng Shu immediately understood Zhao Wuji was telling the truth. The surge of Spirit Power he had been building abruptly stopped.
"Senior Meng, you should understand. We only want the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent, and we won't harm your granddaughter." Zhao Wuji quickly continued, "Of course, if you truly insist on fighting, then I can only accompany you. But if we draw in powerful Spirit Beasts, the situation will become hard to control."
Unless absolutely necessary, Zhao Wuji did not want to clash head on with Meng Shu. He only had 1 candy bean. If he used it here, then if something unexpected happened later, things would become far more troublesome.
"Zhao Wuji, we'll give up. The Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent is yours. Tell your students to stop."
With that candy bean still there, Meng Shu knew that even if he went all out, he could not repel Zhao Wuji in a short time. His granddaughter was clearly already at her limit. After weighing the situation, Meng Shu took a deep breath, dispelled the giant phantom dragon headed cane behind him, then warned coldly.
"If things still go wrong, even if there are people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in your group, I won't let you off."
"Senior Meng is a man of his word. Since you've said you'll give up, you naturally won't pursue this further."
Zhao Wuji ignored Meng Shu's warning completely. He waved a hand behind him and shouted, "Alright, stop now."
The moment Zhao Wuji spoke, the Shrek Seven Devils immediately halted.
In fact, they had already fully captured Meng Yiran by that point. Otherwise, Meng Shu would not have yielded so quickly.
Meng Yiran was only level 30, yet she had been surrounded by the Shrek Seven Devils. Especially with Dai Mubai at level 37 and using White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Meng Yiran lasted only 2 breaths before being taken down.
"Old woman, stop."
At this point, only Yu Tianlin and Chao Tianxiang were still fighting. Meng Shu shouted, forcing Chao Tianxiang to stop as well. Then he said, "Release Yiran, and we'll leave."
"Teacher Zhao, what should we do?" Tang San carried Meng Yiran, who was bound like a rice dumpling by Blue Silver Grass, and walked behind Zhao Wuji to ask for guidance.
"Don't rush, Senior Dragon Duke." Zhao Wuji smiled, about to speak.
But at that instant, a sudden change occurred.
The crested serpent, which had been knocked unconscious and was being ignored by everyone like a lamb waiting for slaughter, suddenly sprang up. It lunged and grabbed the person closest to it, then flapped its wings and fled.
Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong!"
That was right. The one who had been coiled up by the crested serpent was Ning Rongrong.
During the battle just now, everyone else had been attacking Meng Yiran. Oscar was supplying sausages. Only Ning Rongrong had been boosting Yu Tianlin from the rear, so she was the closest to the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent.
Everything happened in an instant, but Zhao Wuji still reacted.
However, because Ning Rongrong was in its grasp, Zhao Wuji could not use gravity compression without risking injury. Instead, he activated his 4th Spirit Skill, positioning and tracking. The deep purple Spirit Ring flew out, locking onto the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent.
As long as Zhao Wuji could mark it, he could instantly leap to its location. With Spirit Saint level physical strength, subduing the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent again would be effortless.
But things were not that simple.
The moment Zhao Wuji locked onto the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent, Meng Shu moved again. This time, he did not attack Zhao Wuji. Instead, he tried to snatch Meng Yiran back.
Zhao Wuji's expression changed instantly. He fell into a dilemma.
If Meng Yiran was taken away, they would lose all leverage. If Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang decided to continue fighting, the situation would become extremely passive.
But Ning Rongrong's safety was obviously more important.
"You dare!"
Just as Zhao Wuji hesitated, Yu Tianlin's powerful, pure dragon might erupted, pressing down on the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent. The serpent trembled violently, its movements slowing.
But that was all.
The Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent seemed to understand this was the moment between life and death. The bright red crest on its head lit up. Its sluggish speed suddenly surged, and it actually forced its way through Yu Tianlin's dragon might suppression and shot away at high speed.
"You bastard, I'll definitely kill you!"
Yu Tianlin could not help cursing. He did not bother hiding anything anymore. Wide blue purple dragon wings spread behind his back, and with a powerful flap, he chased after it.
Using dragon wings was fine. Even if it was exposed, it would not be linked to an external Spirit Bone. Others would only think it was part of his dragon transformation. After all, Yu Tianlin could already transform into a dragon from head to toe. At that level, manifesting wings during transformation was completely normal.
Seeing Yu Tianlin chase after it, Zhao Wuji immediately felt relieved. He no longer worried about Ning Rongrong. Instead, he focused on keeping Meng Yiran secure.
Meng Yiran was right beside him. As long as Zhao Wuji chose to protect Meng Yiran, Meng Shu could not take her back. If Meng Shu tried to force it with power, he would only end up injuring Meng Yiran himself.
Even so, Meng Shu did not leave empty handed.
Although he failed to retrieve his granddaughter, he suddenly twisted his dragon headed cane, entangling Tang San and yanking him over.
In a flurry of movements, Tang San ended up in Meng Shu's grasp, while the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent carried Ning Rongrong away.
