Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 92: Furious Shrek

The soul rings of all six people lit up, and they were actually five Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor.

Three of them instantly took off into the air, each using their flying spirit skills, and together with the other three pursuers on the ground, they quickly chased after Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Just as the pursuers were chasing Huo Yuhao and the other two at full speed.

A ball of red light suddenly bloomed and shot up into the sky, rising straight to a height of several hundred meters before it exploded and turned into countless tiny golden-red light spots that spread out in the air.

The six-ringed Soul Emperor's face suddenly changed when he saw the red light, and he shouted wildly: "Didn't they say that it was only the core disciples? This is clearly a signal for help from the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. Quick! Hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, the fourth soul ring of one of the five-ring flying creatures lit up, shining with purple light. The wings with a bluish-purple glow flapped violently, and his body accelerated suddenly, immediately chasing after Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong like a meteor chasing the moon.

Huo Yuhao looked at the Soul King in front of him with one hundred yellow and two purple soul rings with a somewhat cold expression.

Without even a ten thousand year soul ring, there was no way to test the power of the soul attack that he exerted with all his strength.

With a sigh, Huo Yuhao pulled out his right hand and opened it behind him. With a flash of silver light, a gun barrel appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand, and the black hole was aimed at the flying Soul King.

"Bam—"

The fiery red bullet shot out from the barrel of the gun and headed straight for the Soul King.

Although he had not started making gunpowder yet, Huo Yuhao had already begun experimenting with making firearms.

This gun barrel, which is made of two-level core magic arrays with wind and fire attributes, was made by Huo Yuhao when he was experimenting with rifling and barrel quality. The core magic array at the tail can generate a huge airflow in an instant and launch the projectile in the barrel.

Although it looks more like a large blowpipe powered by soul power, isn't the principle of the firearm similar?

At the same time, Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with golden light, and he launched a soul attack to strike first. The Soul King, who was accelerating, felt as if his head had hit a hard wall. He groaned, bleeding from his mouth and nose. He could no longer control his flying body, and the fourth soul skill he was performing was also interrupted.

At the same time, the bullet shot by Huo Yuhao also hit the Soul King. Although it was blocked by the soul power on his body, the bullet exploded instantly. The fiery red mist exploded and touched the Soul King's body through the protective soul power.

The five pursuers behind only heard the Soul King who was in the front let out a violent scream, and then fell to the ground and rolled around in resistance.

"There's something wrong with this guy, be careful to avoid the attack from his soul guide!"

The fastest Soul Emperor-level warrior rushed past the fallen Soul King, glanced coldly at the status of his teammates, and immediately decided to abandon them and continue chasing the target.

Ever since he came up with the idea of ​​developing gunpowder, Huo Yuhao has been studying the defensive capabilities of soul masters of all levels against iron bullets. He eventually discovered that starting from the fourth-ring defense soul masters and the fifth-ring offensive soul masters, the power of firearms had been greatly weakened. Even if they penetrated the protective soul power, they might not be able to penetrate their flesh and blood.

However, that kind of anti-material weapon was not something that Huo Yuhao could easily tinker with, so Huo Yuhao had been thinking about how to further expand the impact of ordinary bullets on soul masters.

It was not until the 500-year-old plant-type soul beast that Huo Yuhao ordered from the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce out of curiosity was delivered to his door.

The capsaicin produced by the pepper fruit of the five hundred year old plant-type soul beast Devil Pepper, which could not be blocked by ordinary soul power, instantly attracted Huo Yuhao's attention.

"Even Soul King-level warriors can't stand the stimulation of devil pepper? This can be promoted. It's much more effective than ordinary bullets that barely penetrate the Soul King's skin."

The stinging sensation from the devil capsaicin would take at least ten minutes to fade away, which was enough for the Soul King to bear.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao did not seem to be running for his life. Instead, he was using wild Soul King and Soul Emperor level warriors to experiment with what he had been researching for some time.

“Then can a Soul Emperor-level warrior defend against this devilish capsaicin?” Huo Yuhao looked at the Soul Emperor running at high speed below him and fired another capsaicin bullet at him, but unfortunately he dodged it directly.

“Wang Dong, take off straight into the air!” Huo Yuhao looked at the pursuer who was less than 20 meters away.

As for why Huo Yuhao could remain so calm in the face of the assassination?

……

"Speaking of which...Miss Ning Tian, ​​do you have a protector by your side?"

As soon as Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, three pairs of eyes were fixed on him.

Ning Tian was fine and didn't react. Instead, Wu Feng took a step forward, blocked Ning Tian behind him, and stared at Huo Yuhao with a vigilant look on his face.

"Of course there is," Ning Tian said calmly, "Any questions?"

"I am your trading partner. If I get into trouble today, you can't just sit there and do nothing."

"What?" Wang Dong's face changed.

"You mean... Dai Huabin?" Ning Tian frowned slightly, as if she had guessed something.

After all, the incident over the grade assessment caused quite a stir. Dai Huabin, a core disciple of the Wuhun Department, was actually forced to kneel down and kowtow, which caused quite a stir.

“Yes.” Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “We had such a big conflict during the grade assessment. Given his temper, he might retaliate or even assassinate me.”

"I seldom leave the academy. I can even say that this treasure hunting party may be the only time I leave the academy this semester. It is also his only chance to attack me. If he really wants to take revenge, he will not miss this opportunity."

"So you want my protector to help you when necessary?"

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded.

……

At an altitude of 300 meters, Huo Yuhao looked at the two Soul Kings flying up. He was not worried about his own safety at all, but instead fixed his eyes on the Soul Emperor on the ground. The quality of the death warriors raised by the White Tiger Duke was not good. None of the five Soul Kings had a ten thousand year soul ring, so he could only focus the experiment on the Soul Emperor.

The explosive bullets loaded with capsaicin were fired again. At the same time, the soul shock that had been accumulated for a long time, which almost exhausted all of Huo Yuhao's remaining soul power and mental strength, was fired towards the Soul Emperor pursuer.

Looking at the Soul Emperor who was hit by the soul shock and special projectiles and covered his face with his hands in pain, Huo Yuhao finally had some estimate of the combat power he could exert now.

Huo Yuhao's soul shock was enough to cause enough interference to the Five-Ring Soul King who had absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring and whose mental power had begun to grow. It could even have the effect of interrupting his soul skills after accumulating power.

Seeing the two Soul Kings slapping their hands at them, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong did not panic. Instead, they stayed where they were and looked at the two Soul Kings with smiles on their faces.

"Die!" the two Soul Kings shouted at the same time.

Just as the attack was about to fall on the target, a silver light suddenly flashed, and the target's figure suddenly disappeared. Instead, a huge mirror stood in front of the two.

"Fifth soul skill, Mirror Seal!"

The silver light lit up again, and the figures of the two Soul Kings suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two Soul Kings who were still in good condition immediately turned around and fled.

"Huh? Want to leave?"

As the voice fell, the mirror shone towards the other pursuers. The silver light flashed several times, and the figures of the six pursuers suddenly disappeared. Everything returned to calm, and only the huge silver mirror remained standing in the air.

"Is this how you, Shrek, protect the safety of your students?"

A middle-aged man walked out from behind the mirror, stretched lazily, and glanced indifferently at the Shrek reinforcements who were chasing after him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"

Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, who arrived first, looked at each other and could only bow and express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Jing Douluo, for your help!"

On the tall city wall of Shrek, six or seven figures bowed slightly to the middle-aged man.

As the actual person in charge of the treasure appreciation meeting, Mr. Lin was not far from here. The moment he noticed the distress signal, he rushed here.

However, noticing that Huo Yuhao and the others still had enough strength to deal with the assassination, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he watched from afar, wanting to see what these students could do.

However, they did not expect that Huo Yuhao had established a relationship with Mirror Douluo of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect at some point, which prevented them from taking action in time.

"Your Majesty Jing Douluo, this time the thieves attempted to assassinate our Shrek's core disciples, which has a huge impact. Can you hand over the six thieves to our Shrek for interrogation? So as to find out the mastermind behind the scenes." Elder Lin, who was standing in the front, spoke.

“No need for that. Huo Yuhao is our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s partner. We, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, will certainly uphold justice for him. We won’t bother your Shrek Academy with that.”

The middle-aged man known as Mirror Douluo said calmly.

"This..." Everyone on the city wall looked at each other, and for a moment they were a little scared.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect suddenly got involved, and this matter became not just Shrek Academy’s own business, and it would be much more troublesome to deal with when the time comes.

It just so happens that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Shrek Academy are in a cooperative relationship. Faced with the reasonable demands of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it is difficult for Shrek Academy to refuse.

This time, Shrek Academy was surprisingly efficient. On the second day, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were expelled because they entered the classroom with their left foot first, which angered their homeroom teacher Zhou Yi.

Then Wang Yan was sent to convey the difficulties of Shrek Academy, such as the importance of Duke White Tiger in the war on the mainland. The academy could not punish him openly, but could only use more subtle means to make him pay the price he deserved.

Although Huo Yuhao had been looking forward to this result, he never expected that Shrek would be able to deal with the mastermind so swiftly and decisively.

Even if there is a witness, isn't this too fast?
It was not until Huo Yuhao carefully read the book's detailed description of the incident in which Huo Yuhao was attacked that he could taste a hint of the meaning.

The following is all the information learned from the original book:

1. In the original novel, Yan Shaozhe and his friends arrived at the city wall before Ma Xiaotao, but in order to test the students' abilities, they chose to watch from the side.

2. Yan Shaozhe's performance

Yan Shaozhe said helplessly: "Xiao Tao is such a hot-tempered girl. Once she enters the battle state, she becomes a completely different person." (Original text)

3. The treatment of Dai Huabin - Shrek was furious for a while, but because he had no evidence, he did not make a public statement and suppressed his anger silently. Then he put Dai Huabin on the blacklist and forbade him to enter the inner courtyard. That was it.

4. Why was Dai Huabin punished so lightly? Because there was no evidence. Where did the evidence go? The witness was burned to ashes by the hot-tempered Ma Xiaotao...

Combining the above information, Yan Shaozhe and his friends witnessed with their own eyes that Ma Xiaotao burned the pursuer to ashes and destroyed all evidence.

They were confident that they could stop Huo Yuhao in time when he was really in danger, so they watched the show from the sidelines and saw how the students performed.

But why he just watched the show when Ma Xiaotao killed the witness instead of stopping it is unknown.
Anyway, this is what happened. Huo Yuhao is not dead, right?
"Isn't Shrek known for protecting its people? It seems that it is not as protective as we thought."

Huo Yuhao had a strange look on his face as he came to a conclusion that he had never thought of when reading novels in his previous life.

As for why Shrek acted so vigorously this time? Wasn't there a witness at the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?
If they don't give fair punishment at this time, do they think the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's efforts to poach their people are not fast enough?
