Chapter 131 Spirit 7 at Level 5

Faced with Zhu Lu's expression full of grievance and anger, Ling Qi, for the first time ever, did not get angry. Instead, she smiled and comforted him, "Silly child, do you really think you can be friends with humans? You're too naive!"

Look around again, where are we? This is a battlefield!

Once you're here, where's the uprightness and integrity? Isn't it incredibly naive to chase after such illusory things?

Upon hearing Ling Qi's words, Zhu Lu angrily retorted, "Uncle Qi, you are mistaken! Regardless of whether we can become friends, we should treat our enemies with integrity. Such a despicable sneak attack as Uncle Qi's is not the act of a gentleman!"

Ling Qi was about to get angry when he heard this, but Zhu Shou, who had been watching everything, quickly said, "How dare you! Xiao Lu, you're too presumptuous! How can you speak to your Uncle Qi like that? Don't you have any sense of hierarchy? Apologize to your Uncle Qi right now!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Lu glanced at Ling Qi, whose face was full of anger, and then turned his face away.

This completely enraged Ling Qi. Fortunately, Zhu Fu, who had been watching Wu Ren and Ying Yue from the side, finally saw what was happening to them.

So he pointed at Zhu Lu's nose and ordered, "Apologize!"

Zhu Lu was about to open his mouth to argue when Zhu Fu swiftly covered his mouth with his hand and gave him a meaningful look.

Zhu Fu was well aware that Ling Qi's actions this time were somewhat dishonorable, but entirely correct.

Zhu Lu's words were problematic in themselves, and now he was trying to refute his elder brother's feelings as well.

If he were to say something truly outrageous, things would get really messy.

At this critical moment, he absolutely could not allow Zhu Lu to act impulsively and escalate the situation.

Zhu Fu had good intentions and hoped to gain the understanding and support of his brothers, but things didn't go as planned. His good deed not only failed to resolve the conflict, but also deepened the rift between the brothers.

In Zhu Lu's eyes, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said and did.

Instead of helping him, Zhu Fu, the eldest brother, sided with the outsider, Ling Qi!

Even if Ling Qi is a capable subordinate of the Ancestor, so what?

In the end, he was just a subordinate. How could he compare to the noble status of his own great-grandfather's grandson?

Even though the other party was clearly at fault for launching a despicable sneak attack, his elder brother Zhu Fu actually demanded that he apologize to them.

How could Zhu Lu accept such injustice and unfairness?

What's even more infuriating is that the second brother's behavior was utterly absurd.

Instead of offering any help, he reached out and tightly covered his mouth. Was he trying to prevent himself from speaking?

Thinking of all this, Zhu Lu felt as if a raging fire was burning wildly in his chest, about to burst out of its restraints.

He struggled and twisted his body with all his might, trying to break free from his second brother's grip.

Just then, Zhu Lu caught a glimpse of Zhu Shou's meaningful gaze.

Just that one glance, like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, instantly extinguished most of the anger in Zhu Lu's heart, making him involuntarily quiet down.

Zhu Lu knew very well that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him.

If we continue to be stubborn and resort to sophistry, the consequences could be disastrous.

Regardless of whether the unfathomable Ling Qi would cause trouble, his elder brother Zhu Fu's punch and kick alone would be enough to make him suffer greatly.

Thinking of this, even though Zhu Lu was filled with resentment, he could only temporarily shut up and obediently keep quiet.

However, Zhu Shou once again looked down on his third brother with disdain, muttering, "Hmph, he kept saying that he waited for others to break through before fighting them."

Anyone with eyes can tell at a glance that this human possesses the formidable strength of the fourth level!

How could my third brother have the audacity to boast that he fought a full three hundred rounds against such a formidable opponent?

That's utterly absurd! Perhaps there's a tiny, albeit slightly, possibility, if it were about the eldest brother, Zhu Fu.

If he knew that the human in front of him was only at the Fusion stage a little over a year ago, which is equivalent to the third level of a Savage Beast, I wonder what he would think.

Kuang Zheng had no way of knowing what was happening outside. Deep inside the cave, he seized this hard-won opportunity to catch his breath, quickly took out three Spirit-Nourishing Pills from his pocket, and swallowed them without hesitation.

As the medicinal power of the pill dissolved and circulated throughout the body, the previously nearly out-of-control raging energy was finally gradually suppressed.

After adjusting his state slightly, Kuang Zheng made a decisive move, suddenly exerting force with his feet, and his whole body leaped out of the hole above like an arrow.

Just as he leaped out of the cave, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Run!!"

Upon hearing the shout, Ying Yue and her companion, who were standing outside the pit on guard against Zhu Lu and his group, reacted extremely quickly.

Without any hesitation, they transformed into two dazzling streaks of light almost simultaneously, speeding off in two completely different directions.

Kuang Zheng, who had just flown out of the cave, did not hesitate at all. With a flash, he rushed towards the distant horizon at an astonishing speed.

This sudden change left Ling Qi and the others completely stunned!

"What operation is this?"

"Shouldn't we be fighting directly?"

"Why are some people running for their lives right from the start?"...

At that moment, countless thoughts raced through their minds, and the three Zhu brothers were even stunned into place, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

They never imagined that these humans, instead of fighting to the death when faced with an enemy, would choose to flee decisively and cleanly at the first moment.

This completely overturned their long-held perception of the enemy.

Zhu Lu, in particular, stared at the departing figures of the three men, his eyes nearly popping out of his head, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

The scene before him was utterly unbelievable. He muttered to himself nervously, "What...what's going on? Shouldn't they be fighting to the death, ready to die for their cause? How could they run away so cleanly and decisively? Did they abandon all their principles and integrity?"

In that instant, he felt as if his worldview, philosophy of life, and values, which he had always firmly believed in, were being pressed down on the cold, hard ground by an irresistible force, and were being violently and relentlessly rubbed against!

The deeply ingrained values ​​that have been held for centuries collapsed at this moment!

"Can humans really be so unprincipled?"

"Have you even abandoned the most basic principles?"

He was completely bewildered at this moment...

The intense impact left him in a state of extreme shock.

You have to understand, that's equivalent to a level four savage beast!

Such a master, and they haven't even exchanged blows yet, and he's already running away without the slightest hesitation?

Little did he know that Kuang Zheng and his companions were facing a powerful beast at the fifth level. The mere aura emanating from such a being was enough to terrify them.

Now they can be fearless against any level four beast, even those as powerful as the peak of the level four.

Such an existence, though invincible, can certainly be defeated unscathed.

But now they are facing a terrifying existence at the fifth level. Against such an enemy, the three of them have no chance of winning.

Not only that, there is also the risk of damage if you are not careful.

If someone on your side is injured from the start, and you don't run away, what's the difference between that and suicide?

Although the escape of the three humans caught Ling Qi somewhat off guard, he was no ordinary person after all, and he quickly recovered from his shock.

His eagle-like gaze was fixed on the figure that was about to disappear into the distance—Kuang Zheng!

Without hesitation, Ling Qi took off running, rushing towards her opponent with lightning speed...
