Chapter 453 Dai Mubai screams in agony, Zhao Wuji makes his move.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raise her hand and fling out a large clump of golden threads, Tang San was greatly alarmed, clearly having already recognized what the golden threads were.
That was the Golden Dragon Whiskers Needle of Crystal Hair, which he had longed for but could never obtain. It was ranked eighth among all the hidden weapons recorded in the Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, a secret manual of the Tang Clan. Its power was unimaginable.
Tang San didn't dare to think too much and quickly reminded Dai Mubai:
"Mu Bai, be careful."
Without Tang San's reminder, Dai Mubai, who was on the offensive and facing Zhu Zhuqing directly, naturally saw the large tuft of dragon whisker needles that Zhu Zhuqing had thrown out, but he didn't take it to heart.
"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"
He hadn't intended to use any defensive skills, but he still used his first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier.
With a low growl, a pale white light shield instantly formed, enveloping Dai Mubai's entire body.
Facing the incoming golden threads, Dai Mubai remained completely unafraid. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he neither dodged nor flinched, allowing the golden threads to attack him. He even straightened his chest and took the initiative to meet them head-on.
He was extremely confident in his protective soul skill, White Tiger Barrier, and believed that blocking these golden threads would be no problem at all.
However, Dai Mubai seemed to have overestimated his defensive capabilities.
To his shock and surprise, his White Tiger Protective Barrier failed to block the attack of the golden threads.
That large clump of golden threads, radiating a dazzling light, forcefully pierced through the White Tiger's protective barrier, silently imprinting itself on his body and seeping in from every part of it.
"ah--"
Dai Mubai's smile froze instantly, followed by a sudden onslaught of excruciating pain throughout his body, causing his entire body to involuntarily begin to spasm violently.
"Zhu Zhuqing, what did you do to me?"
Dai Mubai let out a low growl and questioned Zhu Zhuqing.
But because of the excruciating pain all over his body, he couldn't hold back while charging forward and suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud. He then rolled around on the ground, letting out a series of agonizing screams:
"Ah—, ah—, ah—,"
Seeing Dai Mubai suddenly collapse to the ground screaming in pain, Zhao Wuji, who was watching from the sidelines, was momentarily stunned.
Ma Hongjun, who had been cheering for Dai Mubai, had his excitement on his chubby face freeze.
Ning Rongrong and Oscar looked at each other, seemingly puzzled as to why Dai Mubai had suddenly turned into this state after being hit by a golden beam of light.
Both of them were support-type Soul Masters, lacking practical experience in combat. They failed to see clearly what that fleeting golden light was, and naturally did not understand why Dai Mubai had suddenly changed like this.
Xiao Wu was also somewhat confused.
Only Tang San understood the reason, after all, it was a Dragon Beard Needle, one of the most insidious and vicious hidden weapons, which not only broke through the protective energy, but also brought extreme pain to people.
It would be strange if someone weren't in agony after being hit by a dragon whisker needle, especially when such a large cluster of dragon whisker needles is shooting into their body.
Even Tang San couldn't help but feel a chill; Zhu Zhuqing was far too ruthless.
Tang San subconsciously swallowed, a trace of fear rising in his heart, but it only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
"Teacher Zhao, hurry! Mu Bai has been hit by a vicious hidden weapon. We must remove it as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable, and he may even lose his life."
Tang San was the first to come to his senses and quickly reminded Zhao Wuji of a few words. He also explained to him that the object that Dai Mubai was hit by was a kind of hidden weapon, and emphasized the word "insidious".
In fact, the Dragon Beard Needle is not easily fatal, but it can cause extreme pain and torture. What Tang San said is indeed true.
However, he naturally had his own ulterior motives in saying that.
First, Zhu Zhuqing needs to be charged with a crime: using insidious and vicious hidden weapons to kill people.
Secondly, it is necessary to make Zhao Wuji resent Zhu Zhuqing and stop appreciating her.
Over the past few days, Tang San has clearly seen that Zhao Wuji intends to recruit Zhu Zhuqing to join Shrek Academy.
He absolutely would not allow that.
Finally, and this is important.
Tang San also had his eye on the Dragon Beard Needles that Zhu Zhuqing used and wanted to get his hands on them.
If he were to treat Dai Mubai's injuries and remove all the dragon whisker needles, they would belong to him, and Dai Mubai would be grateful and obedient to him.
In this way, his influence at Shrek Academy will be even greater in the future.
Tang San was naturally unwilling to let go of such a golden opportunity.
"What? Is my life in danger?"
Upon hearing Tang San's words, Zhao Wuji, who was still in a daze, quickly came to his senses and ran towards Dai Mubai, who was rolling on the ground and howling in pain.
The others quickly followed suit.
Seeing the Shrek Academy students swarming towards her, Zhu Zhuqing lightly leaped back, creating several meters of distance, and watched coldly without saying a word.
Arriving in the middle of the arena, Zhao Wuji grabbed Dai Mubai, who was rolling on the ground, and examined him carefully. However, he found that apart from his face being somewhat distorted and swollen, Dai Mubai did not seem to have any other abnormalities.
But why did he let out such a violent scream?
Zhao Wuji said he didn't understand.
"Teacher Zhao, let me do it!"
At this moment, Tang San squeezed through.
Zhao Wuji quickly moved aside to make room for Tang San, but he did not loosen his grip on Dai Mubai.
Despite this, Dai Mubai was still screaming in agony, writhing like a maggot. One can imagine just how intense the pain and torment he was experiencing was.
"Found it."
Tang San squatted down next to Dai Mubai and searched Dai Mubai's body for a while before quickly finding the location of a dragon whisker needle.
At this moment, the dragon whisker needles on Dai Mubai's body had penetrated deep into the flesh and blood tissue under his skin and had become tangled together, which was the reason why Dai Mubai felt the intense pain.
However, because the dragon whisker needles were inserted so deeply that they were almost invisible from the outside, Zhao Wuji failed to discover Dai Mubai's actual injuries.
The Dragon Whiskers Needle is naturally formed from plate crystal gold. It is a metal, but it does not have the property of being attracted by a magnet. Once it pierces the body and escapes the control of the soul power, it will immediately become entangled.
If time passes and the flesh heals and recovers somewhat, the only way to remove the dragon whisker needle will be to completely cut off the wound.
Fortunately, Dai Mubai's injury hadn't lasted long, and Tang San, who was familiar with the properties of the Dragon Beard Needle, was able to remove it.
Tang San activated the internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong within his body, attaching it to his right hand, which immediately turned into a lustrous white jade color.
With swift fingers, he tapped several wounds on Dai Mubai's body, injecting his soul power, which was infused with the internal force of the Xuan Tian Gong, into them.
Simultaneously unleashing the power of the Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique, with a combination of pressing, pinching, stroking, and sucking, a golden needle tip, straightened back into a dragon whisker needle, quickly emerged from Dai Mubai's skin.
Tang San pinched the needle tip and pulled hard, and the Dragon Beard Needle was removed.
But this one pull only intensified the pain and torment Dai Mubai endured.
"Oh ho—"
A bloodcurdling scream immediately burst from his mouth, and his body began to struggle violently.
"What are you yelling about? Does it hurt that much? Shut the hell up!"
Hearing Dai Mubai's even more miserable screams, Zhao Wuji felt annoyed and couldn't help but slap Dai Mubai on the forehead.
Then, looking at the three-inch-long, yet incredibly fine, golden needle in Tang San's hand, he frowned slightly and asked:
"Is this what you called that insidious hidden weapon?"
Tang San's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded:
"Yes, Teacher Zhao, this thing is called the Dragon Beard Needle, an extremely insidious and vicious concealed weapon."
Afterwards, Tang San gave Zhao Wuji a thorough introduction to the Dragon Beard Needle, emphasizing its insidious and evil nature, and deliberately exaggerating its dangers.
As expected, this angered Zhao Wuji, who felt a slight dissatisfaction with Zhu Zhuqing.
Dai Mubai was, after all, his student, while Zhu Zhuqing was an outsider. Although he admired her to some extent, Zhao Wuji was still somewhat angry that Zhu Zhuqing was using such a treacherous weapon against his student.
"Hongjun, Xiao'ao, you two come over and hold Mubai down."
Zhao Wuji called out to Ma Hongjun and Oscar beside him, then instructed Tang San:
"Tang San, continue treating Mu Bai's injuries and extract all those dragon whisker needles from his body."
"Yes, Teacher Zhao!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar didn't dare to delay and quickly agreed, stepping forward to take Zhao Wuji's place and together holding down Dai Mubai, who was constantly writhing and gritting his teeth, making groaning noises.
Tang San responded.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
He secretly encouraged Zhao Wuji to settle accounts with Zhu Zhu.
He then extracted the Dragon Beard Needle from Dai Mubai's body and kept it for himself.
However, there is still a problem: Dai Mubai has been hit by too many dragon whisker needles, and they are stuck in too deep. Even if he personally takes action, it will not be able to be resolved in a short time.
His internal energy from the Xuan Tian Gong was limited and insufficient to allow him to extract all the Dragon Beard Needles from Dai Mubai's body in a short period of time.
We can only take it one step at a time and extract as much as we can.
As for the rest, let Dai Mubai cut off his own flesh; it's not like he's the one who's in pain.
A subtle, almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth.
Just as Tang San began to remove the Dragon Beard Needles from Dai Mubai, Zhao Wuji stood up, looked at Zhu Zhuqing, and questioned her with a stern face:
"Zhu Zhuqing, why did you treat Mu Bai so cruelly?"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him, but her eyes were icy cold, and her words seemed devoid of any emotion:
"Why? Because he deserved it!"
Zhao Wuji frowned, his expression displeased:
"Zhu Zhuqing, watch your attitude."
Zhu Zhuqing gave a cold laugh:
"What? Are you trying to sway right and wrong by standing up for Dai Mubai? Why didn't you stop him when he attacked me?"
What the hell? Did that bastard Mu Bai make the first move? Zhao Wuji was speechless, but Dai Mu Bai was, after all, his student, and as his teacher, he still had to speak up for his student.
Besides, what do you mean by not being able to distinguish right from wrong?
Shrek Academy has always believed that whoever has the bigger fist is right.
Then, he coldly said:
"But you didn't need to use such a vicious hidden weapon against Mu Bai, did you?"
"He is, after all, my student. Treating him like this is slapping me in the face."
"Considering that you and Mu Bai are engaged, how about this: you apologize to Mu Bai, and we'll let this matter drop."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed, and the chill in her tone became even more biting:
"I don't have such a trashy fiancé."
"Also, Zhao Wuji, I am not a student of Shrek Academy, you have no right to order me around."
"You actually want me to apologize to that coward Dai Mubai? Hah, Zhao Wuji, you're really something. Are all the people at Shrek Academy shameless and without any sense of right or wrong?"
Upon hearing this, not only Zhao Wuji's expression changed, but the expressions of the people surrounding Dai Mubai also changed.
They were all insulted by Zhu Zhuqing with the word "shameless".
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun, who already had grievances against Zhu Zhuqing, visibly darkened their expressions.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong were somewhat embarrassed.
Both of them knew that the conflict between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai was not Zhu Zhuqing's fault, but Dai Mubai's.
However, it was indeed unreasonable for Zhao Wuji to ask Zhu Zhuqing to apologize to Dai Mubai at this time.
However, they didn't say much, so they lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.
Only Dai Mubai, tormented by the Dragon Beard Needle to the point of near death and twisted into a maggot, failed to hear Zhu Zhuqing's words clearly; otherwise, he might have been consumed by rage.
Zhao Wuji immediately flew into a rage, his gaze darkening as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing:
"Young lady, the reputation of Shrek Academy is not something you can casually judge with your words."
"Originally, I only wanted you to apologize to him properly for Mu Bai's sake, but you are so ungrateful."
"In that case, I'll take you down first, and then hand you over to him after Mu Bai's injuries have healed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wuji's large, fan-like hand immediately reached out to grab Zhu Zhuqing, intending to capture her.
Seeing Zhao Wuji attack Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, who was removing the Dragon Beard Needle from Dai Mubai, couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. His plan had succeeded.
The mischievous rabbit Xiao Wu next to her clapped and cheered, even jumping up and down with joy.
Ma Hongjun chuckled excitedly, loosening his grip on Dai Mubai's hands slightly, almost allowing Dai Mubai to break free.
Oscar was stunned and wanted to dissuade Zhao Wuji, but he was powerless to do so and could only worry helplessly.
Although Ning Rongrong disapproved of Zhao Wuji's behavior, she was just a support-type soul master with no strength to even kill a chicken. How could she stop Zhao Wuji?
So all I could do was sigh and pretend I didn't see it, keeping to myself as if it were none of my business.
Facing Zhao Wuji grabbing at her, Zhu Zhuqing remained calm; she had anticipated this scene.
Well, it should be said that she had already thought of this consequence the moment she used the Dragon Beard Needle on Dai Mubai.
Before Brother Ye left, he warned him that Zhao Wuji might attack him and that he should be careful.
Zhao Wuji moved with incredible speed, covering several meters in the blink of an eye to arrive in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was cold and calm. The moment Zhao Wuji made his move, she quickly mobilized her soul power, and the illusory wings behind her spread out as much as possible to enhance her speed.
At the same time, she used the Phantom Movement Technique, subtly shifting her feet to dodge Zhao Wuji's grab.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could even move, a familiar, handsome figure appeared before her, accompanied by a series of afterimages, and easily blocked Zhao Wuji's large bear paw as he reached out to grab her.
This handsome figure was none other than Ye Qifeng, who had just returned.
Thank you to [Fengxiang] for the 1500 Qidian Coins!
