Chapter 142 Lu Ming VS Shrek Academy! A Clash of Titans! The Death of Zhao Wuji!
Before anyone could react, a new profile picture lit up in the group chat.
The automatically generated nickname is: [Want a sweet romance]
[Wanting a sweet romance]: Huh? What's this? How did it suddenly appear in my head? Is anyone there? Is this a hallucination?
[Little Witch]:! ! !
[Wanting a sweet romance]: Huh? Who are you?
My cat is white and big: ...
[Your Holiness]: Another newcomer has arrived. It seems this so-called "opportunity" is nothing more than that.
[Lu Tiandi]: Welcome newcomer. Please read the group announcement before joining, and send a red envelope after posting a photo. Do you understand the rules?
In reality.
Shui Yue'er, who was standing in front of Lu Ming, suddenly froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.
She subconsciously looked at Lu Ming, then glanced around.
"Sister...Sister..."
Shuiyue'er's voice was trembling.
"What's wrong?" Shui Bing'er asked with concern.
"It feels like something is talking in my head!"
Lu Ming suppressed his laughter, pretending that he knew nothing.
"Is something talking in your head? Did you get stunned by the explosion? Maybe you should go see a doctor."
Just as Shuiyue was filled with doubt and was about to explain to her sister in detail...
A series of hurried and chaotic footsteps broke the tranquility of the place.
"Over there!"
"Quick, don't let them get away!"
Lu Ming and Shui Bing'er turned their heads to look at the same time.
At the end of the corridor, a group of four people were rushing towards them menacingly.
The leader was Flander, who wore crystal glasses and had a gloomy face.
Behind him followed Yu Xiaogang, his hands behind his back and his expression stiff.
Behind them were Dai Mubai, whose face was full of resentment, and Ma Hongjun, whose eyes were lewd and fierce.
Upon seeing these people, Shui Bing'er's brows furrowed instantly.
"People from Shrek Academy?"
What are they doing here?
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, his body still leaning against the stone pillar, without moving an inch.
"What else can we do? We beat up the younger one, and then the older one comes along."
As they spoke, Shrek and his group arrived.
The four people spread out in a fan shape, completely blocking Lu Ming and the Shui Bing'er sisters' path.
Flander pushed up his glasses, his sharp eagle eyes flashing with a cold light, his gaze passing over Lu Ming and fixing directly on Shui Bing'er.
"Shui Bing'er, right?"
"I have something to ask you."
The tone was more like interrogating a criminal than asking a question.
Shui Bing'er sensed the faint but powerful aura of a Soul Saint emanating from the other party, her expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously shielded Shui Yue'er behind her.
"Dean Flander, I don't understand what you mean."
"I don't have much to say to you."
"Not going to talk?"
Dai Mubai took a step forward, his evil eyes bloodshot, looking somewhat deranged.
"Where is Zhao Wuji?!"
"That night at the mass grave, Teacher Zhao went after you! He never came back after that!"
Don't tell me you didn't see him!
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er was startled.
That night, the burly man known as Teacher Zhao did catch up with them and even attempted to take advantage of them.
But later...
The mysterious masked man appeared.
Although my memory of that night is somewhat hazy, the blood-soaked sky and Zhao Wuji's death screams are undeniably real.
Is Zhao Wuji really dead?
Although she knew the truth in her heart, Shui Bing'er's face remained cold and frosty.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
"After the competition that day, we went straight back to the academy's residence. We didn't go to any mass grave, let alone see your teacher Zhao."
You're lying!
Dai Mubai roared angrily, his emotions running high.
"I clearly saw it that day! Teacher Zhao went with you! If it weren't for you, how could Teacher Zhao have disappeared?!"
"You bitch, you must have colluded with someone to murder Teacher Zhao!"
As he spoke, his soul power surged, and the White Tiger Martial Soul showed faint signs of possessing him.
"Watch your mouth."
A calm voice suddenly broke in.
Lu Ming straightened up and stood in front of Shui Bing'er, looking at Dai Mubai with a playful gaze.
"Dai Mubai, what's wrong? Didn't you enjoy that kick last time?"
"Now they've all learned to bark at women?"
Mentioning that kick, Dai Mubai felt a sudden, phantom pain in his lower body, and his face instantly turned a deep purplish-red.
"Lu Ming!!"
"This is none of your business! Get out of my way!"
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward, adopting the lecturing posture of a master, and coldly said with his hands behind his back:
"Lu Ming, this matter involves a life and is also a private matter of Shrek Academy."
"Teacher Zhao Wuji is not only the vice dean of Shrek Academy, but also a well-known powerhouse in the world of soul masters."
"I advise you not to get yourself into this mess just because you're being impulsive."
"The waters here are too deep for you to handle."
"Young man, stay away from here. It's for your own good."
Lu Ming found it amusing.
"Personal matters?"
"In the public area of the Great Soul Arena, several grown men surrounded two frail women and were about to attack them. Is that considered a private matter?"
"Master, your theory is still as 'invincible' as ever."
Caught off guard by Lu Ming's retort, Yu Xiaogang's already stiff face darkened even more.
Flanders was clearly losing patience.
He unleashed his aura as a level 78 Soul Saint without reservation, instantly making the surrounding air as heavy as lead.
"Lu Ming".
"For Erlong's sake, I won't make things difficult for you."
"Get out of the way."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for disciplining the disciples on behalf of Erlong!"
The terrifying pressure pressed down like a mountain, and Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's faces instantly turned deathly pale.
Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth and reached out to tug at Lu Ming's clothes.
"Lu Ming...you should leave."
"This is between us and Shrek Academy, there's no need to involve you."
"..."
Shrek Academy was clearly well-prepared this time, and Flander was a Soul Saint, while Lu Ming, though strong, was only a Soul Venerable.
A head-on confrontation will definitely result in losses.
Lu Ming glanced back at Shui Bing'er, then looked at the Shrek Academy members opposite him, who were filled with murderous intent.
Suddenly, he smiled.
He laughed very easily.
"OK."
"Now that the aggrieved party has spoken, what am I doing here in the way?"
After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets, stepped aside, and made way for him.
"Please make yourself at home, everyone."
This sudden change stunned everyone present.
Dai Mubai was taken aback at first, then revealed a cold smile of extreme disdain.
"Ha, I thought you were so tough."
"Turns out he's just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
"Your legs must have gone weak at the mere mention of the Soul Saint's name, right?"
Ma Hongjun also spat out a word of disdain: "Tch, what Emperor Lu? I think he's more like Lu the Runner."
"..."
