"What a guy, to have the dual attribute increase so much at once, and it's a group buff too?!" Zhao Wuji's gaze towards Tang Sui grew even more fervent, the smile on his lips widening. While Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were still in shock, he used his sturdy fists to express his affection for Tang Sui.
"Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect that besides the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, there's another supreme support-type soul master! Hahaha! Little girl, I'm increasingly reluctant to hurt you!"
Zhao Wuji, whose actions were completely contrary to his words, moved with terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Tang Sui.
"Sui Sui!"
Tang San's angry roar jolted Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong back to reality, reminding them they were still in a fight.
"Bang!"
Xiao Wu, who had been shocked years ago, put on a stern face and arrived beside Tang Sui before Zhao Wuji's punch could reach her. Using her momentum, she leaped from the ground and fiercely kicked at Zhao Wuji's powerful punch, striking the acupoints on his arm.
Unfortunately, the difference in soul power between Xiao Wu and Zhao Wuji was still too great.
This strike only caused Zhao Wuji's punch to deviate slightly, leaving a faint bruise on his arm without breaking the skin.
"Go!"
Ning Rongrong, who belatedly realized the "enemy" was upon them, was pulled by Tang Sui, who had found an opening, and they dodged to the side. Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San, who had also recovered, launched a pincer attack that was just in time, encircling Zhao Wuji once more.
Dai Mu Bai, his face also a mask of shock, sheepishly touched his nose, feeling fortunate that he wasn't the one fighting this time.
Otherwise, this assessment would have been flipped, with him having to endure for the time it takes an incense stick to burn under Tang San and the others.
No, no, this reverse assessment was too much!
The new round of encirclement attack began, and the three quickly adjusted their offensive, once again cooperating to control Zhao Wuji.
Zhu Zhuqing concentrated her strength in her legs and stomped down fiercely from above, accurately landing on both sides of Zhao Wuji's shoulders.
Two muffled thuds sounded from Zhao Wuji's rough face. This time, Xiao Wu's kick landed on Zhao Wuji's face, but it only caused the flesh of his cheek to indent slightly. He wasn't directly kicked away, nor did he sway even a bit from Zhu Zhuqing's leverage.
"Seems like you don't have much strength left, little girl."
Zhao Wuji's voice was muffled as his cheekbones were pressed by the shoe heel, but the unyielding curve of his lips betrayed his arrogant confidence.
"Is that so? Then I'll show you what it means to have strength!" Xiao Wu snorted coldly. She exchanged a glance with Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing on Zhao Wuji's shoulder. She retracted her single-leg attack and, taking advantage of Zhu Zhuqing's leap from Zhao Wuji's shoulder, she lunged forward fiercely. She seamlessly followed Zhu Zhuqing's attack, exchanging several blows with Zhao Wuji in the span of a breath.
Once again, Zhao Wuji, who had withstood all the kicks with his formidable physique, grinned and taunted, "Still not enough strength, little ones."
However, this time, Xiao Wu did not press her attack. Instead, she gave Zhao Wuji a playful smile. Her subsequent movement was not an attack but a series of flips backward.
A huge shadow suddenly enveloped Zhao Wuji. He froze, then looked behind Xiao Wu not far away. Tang San was controlling an extremely resilient ghost vine, lifting an entire wooden stall cart!
Zhu Zhuqing, who had just retreated, had already climbed onto the wooden stall cart using Tang San's winding blue silver grass vines. Like a nimble cat, she leaped to the forefront, extending her arms and concentrating her strength into her hands. She steadily gripped the cart's handle, performed an aerial flip, and the entire cart spun in the air. The downward force combined with the rotational acceleration struck Zhao Wuji quickly and accurately.
So fast?!
Zhao Wuji's pupils constricted, and the wooden stall cart was already upon him!
"Bang—!"
The solid, heavy wooden planks shattered, kicking up larger clouds of dust than before, obscuring their vision.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others, who had returned to their positions, felt a slight sense of relief as they listened to the sound of the collision.
That heavy wooden cart, surely it's enough force to knock him out this time?
