Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 12 "Sister"

Zhu Zhuyun transformed into a faint light and rushed forward, its sharp claws heading straight for Ling Qianyao's chest.

Soul power fluctuations came, level 28!
Ling Qianyao's heart sank slightly. The astrological predictions showed that he would not face any major crisis, but it was absolutely impossible for him to passively take a beating.

Next time when I get the spirit ring, I will definitely make my future sister-in-law look bad!

The seven acupuncture points scattered across the spine lit up with starlight one after another, and Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang shone in the sword guard.

Attack, defense, speed, fighting spirit, mental strength, etc. have been increased by 10% in succession.

This all-round ability enhancement brings far more than just doubling the final combat power.

He adjusted his steps slightly, and before Zhu Zhuyun's sharp claws arrived, he slightly bent his right elbow, held up the Star-Breaking Sword with his left palm, and held it in front of his body.

"Ping—"

Hold on steady!

"This..." Zhu Zhuyun was a little stunned for a moment. With her soul power level, even if she just held back a little in her first soul skill, it shouldn't be so easy to block!
"Humph, you underestimate me, sister!"

Zhu Zhuyun gritted her teeth. "Who is this brat calling sister?" She exerted force with her claws again, trying to force Ling Qianyao down.

Ling Qianyao turned around and took advantage of the momentum to counterattack, using a bow stance to thrust straight into the gap between Zhu Zhuyun's ribs.

Zhu Zhuyun reacted incredibly quickly, quickly retreating to the side and dodging the fierce attack. He sneered, "Not bad, no wonder that little leopard who obtained the spirit ring couldn't beat you."

She changed her moves again, spinning rapidly, and her cat claws drew silver tracks in the air, sweeping towards Ling Qianyao like a whirlwind.

Ling Qianyao's eyes focused, and he lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his sword. Using the force of the sword, he flew into the air, somersaulted like a kite, and landed above Zhu Zhuyun, avoiding the whirlwind-like attack.

At the same time, the sword tip turned, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and several swords were pointed out in succession, each sword pointing directly at Zhu Zhuyun's waist.

"Ok?"

Zhu Zhuyun's expression changed slightly. She felt something was wrong and withdrew her attack again. She narrowly avoided Ling Qianyao's attack, but unexpectedly she was hit by Ling Qianyao's sword again.

"You little bastard!——"

A trace of anger flashed in Zhu Zhuyun's eyes. He felt a soreness in his waist where he was stabbed, and the circulation of his soul power in that area became jerky.

"Don't you have healing medicine? Use it quickly." Ling Qianyao was panting heavily. His all-out effort just now had consumed most of his soul power.

Zhu Zhuyun's expression changed again and again. A soul warrior who hadn't obtained a soul ring yet, when confronting a 28th level agility attack system soul master, did not lose the upper hand, and was actually the one who got hurt.
Even if I let him off a bit, this is totally wrong.

If Ling Qianyao's cultivation level was the same as hers, she had no doubt that she would not be able to survive more than three moves in his hands.

"Hmph." Zhu Zhuyun exited the state of martial spirit possession, took out the healing medicine from the storage bracelet, and applied it around his waist.

"Why did your combat power suddenly increase just now?" Zhu Zhuyun looked at the hilt of the Star-Breaking Sword thoughtfully.

Ling Qianyao rolled his eyes. "Guess if I ask the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's leader about the method of distraction control, will he tell me?"

"Tsk." Zhu Zhuyun gritted her teeth. This boy was too arrogant. He relied on the fact that his sister had fallen. Wasn't he so fearless that he couldn't kill him?

It turns out that this guy is a born evil kid!

"Hey, hey, hey? What are you doing? I don't have much soul power right now. Taking advantage of someone in distress is not a gentleman's behavior!" "I'm a woman, you're nothing!"

"Duang~" Zhu Zhuyun punched Ling Qianyao's chest hard, but did not use soul power, just simply venting his strength.

Ling Qianyao was knocked back a few steps by the punch, and fell to the ground, holding his chest and grimacing.

"Hmph." Zhu Zhuyun dusted himself off and tossed a red card to Ling Qianyao. "This card contains 100,000 gold soul coins."

Ling Qianyao raised his eyebrows and directly picked it up and put it into the storage ring.

Zhu Zhuyun narrowed her eyes. "This is what I asked you to use to take care of my sister. You don't want to keep it all for yourself, do you?"

Ling Qianyao coughed and said, "Zhu Qing is my beloved relative, how could I possibly keep it all for myself? It's just that the punch you hit me just now did hurt a bit. After this little compensation, I'm afraid there won't be much left. I need to pay more.

Otherwise, you can give it to her yourself."

"Haha," If I can give it to her, why would I need you as a transfer station? The black-hearted intermediary wants to take all the profits directly, right?
So she gave Ling Qianyao another 2.5 gold soul coins.

"The Star-Breaking Sword is a great name, and it's also a very powerful spirit. Ling Qianyao, you already know the rules set by the Xingluo Imperial Family. Tell me, what would you do?"

"Rules are always made by the strong, and truth lies only on the edge of the sword."

Ling Qianyao said solemnly.

Zhu Zhuyun nodded, "That's a good idea, but I don't have the time for you to become stronger.

In addition to the assessment of intelligence and strength, the family has set a deadline of 25 years old, which is the time when the winner will be decided at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

Davis and I are 7 and 6 years older than them respectively. By that time, you will be only about 18 years old and will have no right to set quantitative rules.

So I only have one expectation for you, to protect her and take her away."

Ling Qianyao frowned, "You've been planning this for a long time, haven't you? Force Zhu Zhuqing to leave, escape the Xingluo Empire, and then mediate to save her life."

"Sometimes being too smart is not a good thing," Zhu Zhuyun said calmly, "knowing too much is not good for you.

But since you've already guessed it, I might as well tell you a little. Yes, I realized very early on that according to the rules of the Xingluo Imperial Family, Zhuqing would undoubtedly die. I didn't want to see that outcome, and I didn't want to see my sister become a victim.

"Rather than letting her die, it's better to plant the seeds of hatred in her heart early on, letting her dislike me and hate me, giving her the motivation to become stronger and a reason to leave."

"So you chose me?"

"It wasn't me who chose you, it was Zhuqing who chose you." Zhu Zhuyun corrected, "She has an unusual trust and reliance on you, and that's something I can't change.

Moreover, I believe you have the ability to protect her, at least it is much better than her facing it alone. I am not unaware of the changes in Zhuqing's body. It would be great if her special martial spirit ability can make her stronger than me."

Zhu Zhuyun looked at Ling Qianyao, whose eyes moved slightly, and said unhappily, "Don't look at me like that."

"Heh," Ling Qianyao rubbed his chin, "Is this considered a conspiracy to sell my sister?"

Zhu Zhuyun narrowed her eyes, walked over to Ling Qianyao, patted his shoulders with both hands, and said with a harmless smile: "Everything about me will remain the same as before. Don't tell Zhuqing a single word. Understand?"
