Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 Backstab

  "Damn it!" Canbao lived a life of constant danger, how dare this brat underestimate him!

  One by one? He wasn't stupid!

  "Sato! You cover from behind!"

  "Understood, Big Brother!"

  Receiving the response, Canbao immediately activated his Martial Soul and attacked Ye Qiu!

  Leopard markings slowly spread across his body, and four Soul Rings—white, yellow, yellow, and purple—pulled around him.

  Ye Qiu's expression hardened. This guy wasn't easy to deal with; he'd have to use some tricks. His left eye silently activated its divine power.

  'An invisible attack?' Canbao felt a sharp pain in his neck and immediately activated his second Soul Skill, Speed! He dodged and attacked Ye Qiu again.

  The vines controlled by Sato also stabbed at Ye Qiu from all sides.

  "Don't resist!" Seeing his attack miss, Ye Qiu said to Zhu Zhuqing.

  "Hmm."

  A vortex appeared, and Zhu Zhuqing disappeared before everyone's eyes!

  Disappeared! Canbao's pupils constricted. What was going on?

  "Never mind! Fourth Soul Skill, Soul-Hooking Claw! Die!" It's a fight to the death! There's no turning back now, just go for it!

  "Third Soul Skill, Death Coil!" Sato also activated his Soul Skill, restricting Ye Qiu's movements.

  However,

  when the attack landed on Ye Qiu, cold sweat poured down Canbao's forehead, his eyes filled with shock!

  *Poof!

  * Vines and claws swept across Ye Qiu's body as easily as brushing against rags, offering no resistance.

  *Bang!* Canbao's claws shattered Sato's vines.

  Watching Ye Qiu pass through him and disappear before his eyes, Canbao was startled. How similar this scene was!

  "Sato! Watch out!" Turning back to Ye Qiu's back, he shouted, quickly stopping his forward momentum and running towards Sato.

  "Kid, come on!" Sato controlled his vines, constantly trying to hinder Ye Qiu, but unfortunately, before Kamui, all his attacks were pierced through, missing their mark! *

  Whoosh!* A sharp arrow pierced the air, heading towards Sato's throat.

  *Clang!* The leopard finally caught up, deflecting the arrow with a single claw.

  Ye Qiu glanced at Sato, a smile playing on his lips, and retreated in time.

  "Kid, how about we stop here this time?" The leopard's face was grim as he tried to negotiate.

  "No way!" Ye Qiu shook his head. Letting them go would only bring trouble; the dead were the most reliable.

  "Are you determined to fight to the death?"

  "Fight to the death? You're not worthy of that." Ye Qiu looked at the two of them mockingly, a cruel smile playing on his lips. "Your soul power is almost depleted, isn't it?"

  Their soul power was completely exposed before the Sharingan.

  "Kid, two against one, we might not be without a chance!" The leopard's face was grim, but secretly he was slowly recovering his soul power. Negotiations were all nonsense! Delaying time was the real priority.

  "Two against one? Tsk tsk tsk," Ye Qiu chuckled, shaking his head. "You're the one facing two against one!"

  "What do you mean?"

  "Pfft!"

  Before Canbao could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, staring in shock at his own flesh. A hard vine had pierced through his chest

  . "Here, that's what I mean!" Ye Qiu pointed at his chest.

  "Sato...you!" He turned around unwillingly, unable to understand why his brother had betrayed him!

  Pfft! "Ugh!" The vine snapped out, spraying out a large amount of blood. Finally, Canbao passed away, his face filled with confusion.

  Sato stood there motionless, like a puppet.

  "Controlling a Soul Master won't work, but controlling a Soul Venerable is possible," Ye Qiu rubbed his throbbing eyes.

  "End your own life!"

  The words fell, but Sato didn't move, his face contorted in struggle.

  Had he sensed the danger? Ye Qiu frowned. It seemed the illusion wasn't too deep.

  In that case, he had no choice but to send Sato on his way himself.

  *Thud!* A hidden arrow pierced his throat, and just as he was about to die in the northwest, Sato regained consciousness. He looked around in a daze at the scene before him. When was his brother? Why was he so tired?

  *Thud!* He collapsed to the ground, blooming into a bewitching flower of blood.

  "Huff!" Looking at the surrounding blood, Ye Qiu also felt a little dizzy. The pungent smell of blood after the battle was indeed unpleasant. He

  retrieved the Great Horned Bull, a soul beast originally intended for lunch but which had unexpectedly become a meat shield. A vortex appeared, and Ye Qiu disappeared from the spot.

  In the Divine Might Space, Zhu Zhuqing lay motionless on the cold ground. She didn't know where she was. The empty space terrified her

  . Fortunately, there was a beautiful Blue Silver Grass beside her.

  "I wonder how he is," Zhu Zhuqing murmured softly.

  "It's over!" Ye Qiu's figure suddenly appeared beside her, looking down at her.

  "Ah!" His sudden appearance startled her. "Are you alright?"

  "Do I look like I'm hurt?"

  "Your face is covered in blood... I can't tell." She awkwardly looked away.

  "Yeah, your face is covered in blood too, and there's a handprint on it! Looks like I'll have to put some medicine on you again."

  Faced with Ye Qiu's teasing, she glanced at him, then didn't say anything more, blushing and turning her head away.

  Ye Qiu also squatted down and picked her up.

  "Thank you, thank you for saving me again!" Her voice wasn't loud, but it was very gentle.

  "Yeah, you're welcome. I'm quite touched that you were willing to exchange your innocence for my life!"

  "Is... is that all?" Zhu Zhuqing looked up at him, not understanding why she was a little dissatisfied with this answer.

  "Otherwise? Because you're pretty?" Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow. Although there was a little bit of that, it wasn't the main thing, okay?

  Their eyes met, and Zhu Zhuqing immediately looked away. Only then did she realize that there were square stone platforms all around, stretching as far as the eye could see.

  "Where is this place?" Driven by curiosity, she still asked.

  "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Ye Qiu's voice was a little cold. There was a reason why he hadn't put her in the Divine Might Space before. What if she stabbed him in the back like Kazi did? He couldn't afford to take that risk.

  "I'm sorry!"

  "It's okay!"

  A vortex appeared, and Ye Qiu led her to another stone platform. This was the living area. After putting her on the bed, Ye Qiu filled a large water vat next to him and washed his face.

  Zhu Zhuqing then realized that he didn't have any soul tools on him. Those things were taken from here. She looked at Ye Qiu's back strangely.

  After cleaning himself up, Ye Qiu sat down on the edge of the bed with a wet towel in his hand and wiped her face.

  "Miss Zhu Yeqing, won't you reintroduce yourself?"

  Looking at Ye Qiu, who was bowing his head and carefully wiping away the bloodstains, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of warmth for some reason and stared at him without moving.

  "My name is Zhu Zhuqing, from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire. My martial soul is the Netherworld Cat, and I'm a level 20, one-ring Soul Master! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."

  "I understand! After all, I was being chased~"

  "Hiss~" The towel touched her cracked lips, and she grinned at Ye Qiu, asking, "What level are you? You actually managed to defeat a Soul Master, and even several Soul Venerables!"

  "Same as you, a level 20, one-ring Soul Master."

  "How

  is that possible!" "That's just how it is!"

  ...

  In the midst of this question-and-answer exchange, Ye Qiu gave her another full-body massage.

  Ye Qiu's gaze swept over her chest; no wonder he didn't recognize her. "You're about the same age as me, but

  you've developed so quickly." "Ye Qiu, shut up!" Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth, her face flushed. She was completely naked! "Don't look, sob."

  "Huff, huff." Zhu Zhuqing breathed heavily, feeling strange. She hadn't reacted this strongly before?

  The previous anger and shame seemed to have faded considerably. Her eyes shimmered with tears as she quietly watched Ye Qiu wipe her legs.

  "Mmm," she whimpered, biting her lip, unwilling to utter a sound. Her body flushed an unnatural red, as if scalded.

  This time, Ye Qiu was experienced; dressing her was effortless, requiring no guidance whatsoever!
