Chapter 74 Xiao Wu, who has grown distant from Tang San.
Zhao Wuji, snapped out of his daze by Zhu Zhuyun's shout, clenched his fist, and grinned maliciously as he approached Meng Shu.
Beating up a Soul Douluo who couldn't fight back? Just thinking about it was exhilarating!
Seeing her grandfather truly standing still, Meng Yiran panicked and shouted, "Grandpa, don't worry about me! Do it!"
"Tsk!"
Zhu Zhuyun clicked her tongue, raised her hand, and slashed, leaving three scratches on Meng Yiran's face!
A ruthless and decisive gesture.
"No!" Meng Shu quickly shouted to stop. This was his granddaughter, whom he had doted on for over ten years. His wife was dead; Meng Yiran was his last remaining family member.
"Don't even think about resisting! Zhao Wuji, attack immediately! If he dares to fight back, I'll make him regret it for the rest of his life!"
Zhu Zhuyun said coldly.
Zhao Wuji unleashed his soul power, launching a powerful Vajra Palm attack!
Bang! ~~
One palm strike sent Meng Shu spitting blood and staggering backward.
"Hahaha! That's awesome!"
Zhao Wuji laughed loudly, striking out repeatedly with both palms.
"You'll all die a horrible death!" Meng Yiran bit Zhu Zhuyun's wrist, but the other easily dodged, leaving three bloody marks on her other cheek.
"Damn Zhao Wuji, if Yiran weren't in your hands, I would have killed you long ago!"
Facing Meng Shu's angry shout, Zhao Wuji laughed and struck towards the other's heart with a palm: "Let's see who kills whom in a bit!"
Meng Shu slightly turned to the side, and Zhao Wuji's bear paw missed, but even so, he still had a row of ribs broken.
Thump!
Meng Shu fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud, and his breath gradually weakened.
"Grandpa!"
Meng Yiran struggled violently, but her soul power was sealed by Mu Changge's unknown method, making it impossible to use, and all her efforts were in vain.
"Hahaha, awesome! I actually killed a Soul Douluo!"
Zhao Wuji exclaimed with satisfaction as he dispelled his Martial Soul Possession, even Zhu Zhuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, Meng Yiran was right; Zhu Zhuyun indeed dared not kill her.
Firstly, she feared losing her means to threaten Meng Shu; secondly, she worried that killing Meng Yiran would incur Mu Changge's wrath.
If she hadn't been unaware of Mu Changge's current location and needed Zhao Wuji to handle some emergencies,
she would have already escaped with Meng Yiran and Hu Liena, and wouldn't have cared about Zhao Wuji's life or death.
However, the outcome was good; at least the four sisters were unharmed, and Meng Yiran hadn't been taken away.
But just as Zhu Zhuyun removed her claws from Meng Yiran's neck, Meng Shu, lying on the ground, suddenly sprang up.
"Damn it!"
Zhao Wuji turned to help, but his reaction was too slow; it was too late.
"You vicious girl! Die!"
Meng Shu rushed to Zhu Zhuyun almost instantly, her face contorted with rage, raising her dragon-headed cane and smashing it down on Zhu Zhuyun's head!
Hu Liena and the others were shocked. If this attack landed squarely, Zhu Zhuyun would die on the spot!
Completely locked onto by the killing intent, Zhu Zhuyun's face turned pale, and only one thought occupied her mind.
It's over!
"Grandpa, kill her! Kill them all! Avenge Grandma!"
In stark contrast to Zhu Zhuyun, Meng Yiran was overjoyed and cried, shouting that she would kill Zhu Zhuyun and the others!
But her joy came quickly and went just as fast.
Before Meng Shu's dragon-headed scepter could even land on Zhu Zhuyun's head, a blood-red blade suddenly flew from afar and instantly sliced across his neck. "Grandpa!!!"
Meng Yiran's smile froze on her face. The next second, she saw her grandfather's head roll to the ground, his wide eyes filled with confusion.
He died with his eyes wide open!
Realizing she was rescued, Zhu Zhuyun gasped for fresh air; she had almost brushed with death.
Thump-thump-thump...
Everyone looked in the direction of the footsteps and saw two figures dressed in crimson blood slowly approaching.
Wasn't it Mu Changge and Xiao Wu?
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San wiped his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, rushing over to hug Xiao Wu.
The joy on Xiao Wu's face flashed, but she ultimately gritted her teeth and dodged the embrace.
Tang San, due to his serious injuries and completely unprepared for Xiao Wu's avoidance, was caught off guard and fell flat on his face.
"Xiao Wu?"
Looking at Xiao Wu, who ignored him and silently followed behind Mu Changge, Tang San's head was buzzing.
Tang San simply couldn't understand why Xiao Wu, who usually clung to him so much, was now so distant.
Mu Changge approached Zhu Zhuyun: "You did well, but you weren't ruthless enough! You should have made Meng Shu cripple his own soul power. If he had hesitated even for a moment..."
At this point, Mu Changge glanced at Meng Yiran, who was about to faint from crying.
"You should have cut off Meng Yiran's limbs right in front of him. You should know that as long as it's not an immediate death, I can snatch someone back from the jaws of death!"
Zhu Zhuyun knew perfectly well. She knew all too well. Back then, when she let Zhu Zhuqing go, she was beaten to the point of near death by Hu Liena, and wasn't it Mu Changge who forcibly saved her?
"Master is right. Zhuyun will definitely improve in the future. But how did Master know about what happened before?"
Mu Changge smiled and rubbed Zhu Zhuyun's head: "Of course, it's because I've been watching from this vicinity the whole time."
It turned out that just half an hour ago, when Mu Changge was rushing back with Xiao Wu, she happened to witness Tang San fighting the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
So he hid in the woods, rubbing Xiao Wu's bottom while watching the show.
To prevent Xiao Wu from sacrificing herself, Mu Changge even threatened her with, "You can try sacrificing yourself to Tang San and see if he can survive in my hands."
"Master! You're so annoying~ Why didn't you come out sooner? I was almost scared to death just now. I thought I would never see Master again."
Zhu Zhuyun's ruthless demeanor when threatening Meng Shu vanished instantly, replaced by the frightened little woman's posture as she nestled in Mu Changge's arms and acted coquettishly.
Only then did Zhu Zhuyun notice Xiao Wu, who was standing behind Mu Changge with her head down.
She was clearly wearing the blood-red robe that Mu Changge had worn before she disappeared!
Now it was on Xiao Wu, and with her red and swollen eyes from crying and the bruises on her neck, everyone present could tell at a glance what had happened.
At first glance, Xiao Wu looked like a bride in a blood-red wedding dress, standing next to Mu Changge.
"Welcome, little bunny."
Seeing the aggrieved expression on Xiao Wu's face, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but grin mischievously.
Tang San liked Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu liked Tang San—this was a "secret" known to everyone at Shrek Academy.
Even Zhu Zhuyun, who didn't pay much attention to Shrek, could see it.
It was only because the two of them still addressed each other as brother and sister that things changed. Now that Xiao Wu had been taken away by Mu Changge, how would Tang San react?
