NOVEL WEB Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Let Shrek Kneel Before Him
Chapter 78: Let Shrek Kneel Before Him
Dai Mubai flew backward like a cannonball, collapsing as if a broken sack, completely unable to resist.
"A Soul Elder so arrogant, and his Martial Soul is a White Tiger? Are you sure he's not a spy sent by the Star Luo Empire?"
"A spy dares to attack me openly like this. It seems the Star Luo Empire truly has no discerning eyes—sending such a fool like you to gather intelligence."
As soon as Pei Qing spoke, everyone's expressions changed, especially Ning Rongrong and Yu Tianheng.
These two were, after all, heirs to great sects, and they knew something of the undercurrents between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
Now that Dai Mubai's identity was exposed, it could be said that he was in a position of no return.
This was the Heaven Dou Empire—dealing with Dai Mubai would be too easy for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Moreover, if a prince of the Star Luo Empire were captured and used to attack their cities, would the city's defending general hesitate because of it?
This was inevitable—even if Dai Mubai was an unfavored or runaway prince.
But a prince was still a prince, and the defending general would be constrained by him.
"You're talking nonsense! Big Brother Dai only came to Shrek Academy because he admired it and wanted to study here!"
"He's no spy! This is slander!"
Ning Rongrong spoke indignantly. She stepped forward to push Pei Qing.
However, before she could touch him, the temperature suddenly plummeted, and solid ice froze her lower body.
"If you want to talk, just talk. Don't get physical."
"Our captain doesn't like to be touched by strangers!"
Shui Bing'er said coldly, her eyes filled with disgust as she looked at Ning Rongrong.
She disliked Ning Rongrong somewhat. She had been by Pei Qing's side for three years and had heard some things about Ning Rongrong from other classmates.
It was said that Ning Rongrong was the little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with a bad temper but deeply pampered.
Even Ning Fengzhi, of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had once wanted their captain to be Ning Rongrong's fiancé, but it ultimately fell through.
Shui Bing'er had disliked Ning Rongrong after hearing these rumors.
Now, seeing Ning Rongrong's attitude, she disliked her even more. Fortunately, Pei Qing was not with Ning Rongrong; otherwise, their future life would be too miserable.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that?"
Ning Rongrong was nearly mad with anger. She felt Pei Qing and his people were targeting her; she had only spoken a few words, yet they were biting at her like mad dogs.
"Ning Rongrong, I respect Sect Master Ning very much, so I've been very lenient with you. But you'd better not provoke me."
"I am not to be trifled with either!"
Pei Qing looked at Ning Rongrong with cold eyes, and a terrifying pressure instantly emanated from his body, enveloping her.
Ning Rongrong's vision blurred. She seemed to see a great sun burning fiercely, as if it could incinerate her at any moment.
The terrifying pressure made her legs go weak, and she fell helplessly in front of Pei Qing.
"Rongrong!"
"Damn it, what did you do?"
"Rongrong, don't be afraid! I'll make you pay!"
Ma Hongjun felt his chance to show off had come. Pei Qing's strength was impressive.
But his Evil Fire Phoenix was a noble aerial combat unit; even if he couldn't defeat Pei Qing, he could rely on the terrain to entangle him!
"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line!"
Ma Hongjun's fiery wings flapped behind him, and he ascended rapidly into the air, spitting out raging flames toward Pei Qing.
"Using a Soul Skill against a Soul Master—this is no longer a provocation but a capital offence!"
Pei Qing's gaze flashed like lightning. He locked onto Ma Hongjun, but instead of attacking, he turned to look at Shui Bing'er.
"Understood!"
Shui Bing'er shook her head. Cold aura surged through her body, and with a wave of her hand, an ice wall rose from the ground.
The intense cold caused the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly.
What a terrifying coldness! Is this Heaven Dou City? As expected, there are countless geniuses here.
Tang San, standing nearby, pulled back Xiao Wu, who was eager to try, and shook his head slightly at her.
He had a feeling they probably wouldn't gain any advantage today. Letting Xiao Wu make a move might result in her getting injured, which he was unwilling to see.
He simply silently remembered today's events, planning to find an opportunity in the future to let Pei Qing show his might.
Even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner. No matter how much he disliked Ning Rongrong, she was, after all, his teammate—one of the Shrek Eight Monsters.
For the other party to dare treat Ning Rongrong like this was a slap in Tang San's face.
His pure and noble Young Master Tang could not endure such humiliation.
"Ma Hongjun, let's attack together! This guy and the girl behind him are a bit troublesome!"
A figure approached from a distance. His face was swollen beyond recognition—no longer resembling a White Tiger, but more like a bear.
Hatred blazed in Dai Mubai's eyes. When has he ever been beaten like this?
A guy who appeared out of nowhere dared to hit him?
"Don't order me around!"
"Phoenix Fire Line!"
Shui Bing'er was about to continue attacking, but Pei Qing was already tired of it.
Overwhelming pressure surged from within him, instantly covering the entire area of Shrek Academy.
Pei Qing casually flicked out some soul power, shattering both Martial Soul Skills in an instant.
"Impossible! How can the gap be so huge?!"
Dai Mubai clenched his teeth, staring at everything in disbelief. The terrifying pressure made his breathing rapid, his legs weak, and his whole body instinctively wanted to kneel before Pei Qing.
No—I can't kneel! Stand up!
Dai Mubai roared inwardly, but his body was beyond his control. Although he was a prince, at this moment, he knelt before Pei Qing as if he had encountered a true emperor.
The others in Shrek Academy were the same. Ma Hongjun fell from the sky, hitting the ground face-first with a spray of blood.
"This is the genius of Heaven Dou City. What terrifying coercion!"
Tang San's face was pale as well. His body was constantly bowing, eventually kneeling. His resistance was weak—such bloodline suppression was more obvious to him than to others.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also knelt without resistance. Xiao Wu trembled all over in fear.
Zhu Zhuqing felt nothing at all—and even felt somewhat honored, because the person opposite her was her master!
"Pei Qing, you're going too far, aren't you?!"
Yu Tianheng, kneeling on one knee, bit out his words. He had already activated his Martial Soul Possession, but even so, he couldn't stand up.
"Too far…"
