20: Chapter 20: Playing with Zhu Zhuqing's tail, Dai Mubai's defenses crumbled!

Dai Mubai struggled, wanting to stand up, but his arms were shaking violently. The piercing pain made him realize that the opponent's power level was completely on another dimension from his own.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zhu Zhuqing was unaware of the change in the main battlefield.

Under Ning Rongrong's amplification, her speed had reached its absolute peak, passing through the Huang Dou Battle Team's defense line in the blink of an eye.

Before her was that frail Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Master, Ye Lingling.

At this moment, Ye Lingling seemed completely unresponsive, a look of panic flashing across her cold, beautiful face as she instinctively took a step back.

"Got her!"

Zhu Zhuqing rejoiced internally.

This was the duty of an Agility Attack type Spirit Master; this was the speed of the Hell Civet!

The sharp claws on her fingertips flashed with cold light as her first spirit ring lit up.

"Netherworld Pierce!"

The black figure leaped high, her sharp claws aimed directly at Ye Lingling's shoulder, intending to knock her directly off the platform.

However,

Just as her claws were less than half a foot away from Ye Lingling,

Something was wrong!

Zhu Zhuqing's alarm bells rang loudly.

She instinctively wanted to change her move, but her body was still mid-air, with nowhere to exert force.

The next second,

A warm, large hand emerged from the void without any warning, gripping the black tail behind her with perfect precision—the tail she used to maintain balance.

Thwack.

The grip was as steady as a rock.

Zhu Zhuqing's forward momentum abruptly stopped. Her entire body seemed to have hit a pause button, halting stiffly in mid-air.

The immense inertia made her feel sick enough to vomit blood.

How is this possible?!

Zhu Zhuqing was greatly alarmed.

Wasn't Dai Mubai blocking Qin Feng at the front? Furthermore, with Ning Rongrong's amplification, her speed was nearly at the Soul Ancestor level. How could someone approach her silently and grab her tail?

She painfully twisted her head to look in the direction of the large hand.

What came into view was a handsome face bearing a hint of lazy amusement.

It was Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was standing half a step behind her, his expression relaxed and carefree.

It was as if the person who had just sent Dai Mubai flying and instantly traversed dozens of meters to appear here was not him at all.

"Is this the Hell Civet?"

Qin Feng held the long black tail in his hand, lightly stroking it with his fingers.

The texture was extremely peculiar. It wasn't the fluffy feeling of cat fur, but rather a slick softness transmitted through the tight leather suit, possessing astonishing elasticity.

"So it's a real cat tail? I thought it was some kind of special decorative pendant."

Qin Feng said, unable to resist pinching it curiously.

"Mmmph..."

A tingling sensation, like an electric current, instantly spread throughout her body from the base of the tail.

That unprecedented, strange sensation made Zhu Zhuqing completely unable to control her voice; an extremely shameful moan escaped her throat.

Immediately after, her originally cold and fair, beautiful face turned crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye, like an overripe apple.

She quickly used her free jade hand to tightly cover her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with shame, anger, and disbelief.

The tail was one of the most sensitive parts for a feline Spirit Spirit Master, and it was also key to maintaining balance.

To be held and played with so brazenly by Qin Feng felt worse than death.

"Let... let go of me!"

Zhu Zhuqing was overwhelmed by shame and rage, twisting her body violently, trying to break free from the restraint of the large hand.

She tried to launch a spirit skill counterattack, but whenever Qin Feng's hand applied even a slight force, that soft and weak feeling caused her internal Soul Power to scatter, making it impossible to gather.

Ye Lingling was still in a dazed state.

Qin Feng's ability to appear out of thin air, coupled with the method used to subdue Zhu Zhuqing instantly, completely exceeded the scope of understanding for this Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Master.

It wasn't until the lazy male voice sounded next to her ear that she snapped back to reality.

"Are you alright?"

Qin Feng spoke, while the hand gripping the black cat tail did not let go. He merely tilted his head slightly, looking at the girl beside him who was still shaken.

Ye Lingling subconsciously shook her head. Her eyes, which always held a touch of melancholic beauty, now held a hint of novelty.

In that instant, she truly thought she was about to be knocked off the platform.

"It's good that you're okay."

Qin Feng replied casually.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, who was being held in his hand, she was consumed by shame and anger to the point of death.

As an Agility Attack type Spirit Master, she had been seized by her vital spot like a chick, and this man was flirting with another woman, showing absolutely no regard for her.

"Let go!"

Zhu Zhuqing let out a sharp cry. Her originally cool voice became somewhat shrill due to shame and anger.

She forcefully exerted power in her waist, twisting halfway in the air. Her hands formed claws, the tips of her fingers flickering with dark light.

That was her self-created combat technique, Netherworld Spirit Claws.

Although it wasn't as powerful as a spirit skill, at such close range, it was enough to tear through steel.

The sharp claw wind rushed straight toward Qin Feng's wrist.

Qin Feng didn't even lift an eyelid. He merely gripped her tail and squeezed lightly again, as if kneading dough.

Moreover, this time, the pad of his finger traced along the line connecting the tail vertebrae, applying just a little bit of finesse.

"Ah--"

A pained groan escaped Zhu Zhuqing's throat uncontrollably.

This sound was not like a scream of injury, but rather carried a soft, trembling quality that made people blush.

The fierce Netherworld Spirit Claws instantly dissipated. Zhu Zhuqing’s entire body went limp as if her spine had been removed, and she could no longer maintain an attacking posture.

Her beautiful face, originally fair as jade, was now so red it looked like water could drip from it.

This scene was clearly reflected in the eyes of Dai Mubai, who was not far away.

"Bastard!"

Dai Mubai's eyes instantly became bloodshot, the veins on his forehead bulging like twisted earthworms.

That was his fiancée!

Although he had fled the royal struggle to enjoy life at Shrek Academy, and had never truly touched Zhu Zhuqing, in name, she was his woman.

He hadn't even held her hand, yet this Qin Feng was playing with her tail in front of tens of thousands of people?

Any man could not tolerate wearing such a vividly green hat!

Reason completely shattered at this moment.

"Qin Feng! I'll kill you!"

Dai Mubai roared like a wild beast.

He completely disregarded tactical coordination. His third spirit ring flashed again. His body, already in the White Tiger Vajra Transformation state, expanded slightly more.

It was an overloaded burst fueled by rage.

The White Tiger Barrier opened fully, enveloping his entire body in a golden shield. Like a golden cannonball, he charged toward Qin Feng with a suicidal momentum.

Qin Feng looked at the charging golden-haired tiger and curled his lips.

His left hand was still holding Zhu Zhuqing's tail, and he only freed up his right hand.

There were no superfluous movements, nor did he release his Spirit.

He didn't even shift his feet an inch.

Just as Dai Mubai's tiger claw, capable of shattering steles and splitting rocks, was about to touch his chest, Qin Feng's right hand shot out like lightning.

Thwack.

A crisp sound.

The palm, which didn't look thick at all, actually pierced straight through the defense of the White Tiger Barrier and clamped onto Dai Mubai's throat.

Dai Mubai's charging momentum halted abruptly.

The transition from extreme motion to absolute stillness caused the blood and qi in his body to churn wildly, making him feel nauseous.

He stared wide-eyed, terrified to discover that his proud strength was as helpless against this man as an infant facing an adult.
