Chapter 906: Chapter 903: Zhu Zhuqing's Strength_1
At this moment, Xu Wu was filled with regret.
He had heard rumors of the Zhu Clan genius, Xu Ran, but at the time, he'd dismissed them as a joke.
Because he hadn't taken Xu Ran into account, he agreed to join forces with the Dai family to move against the Zhu Clan. If he had known that Xu Ran was truly this powerful, he would never have done such a thing.
Xu Ran's strength had far surpassed his own.
That soul skill he'd just used was the most powerful one he possessed, terrifying in its might.
Yet even with that, his soul skill couldn't even come close to touching Xu Ran's body.
If he still thought Xu Ran was weak at this point, then he would be the fool.
"Is this the extent of your strength? It's kind of weak," Xu Ran said lightly, as those energy beams explosively detonated at that moment.
"Let me show you my power then. To kill you, one finger is enough."
Xu Ran looked at Xu Wu indifferently.
"Xu Ran, please don't kill me. The royal household forced me into this; I never intended to act against the Zhu Clan."
"Spare my life, and from now on, my Xu family will follow the Zhu Clan without question, never to betray you. I can even help you eliminate the Dai family," Xu Wu pleaded in panic, feeling the threat of death at this moment.
It was as if Xu Ran decided to attack him, he would already be a corpse.
That inexplicable feeling made his soul tremble with fear.
Now, his will to fight had been completely extinguished.
When the difference in strength was not great, there might still have been a chance to fight. But before absolute strength, no matter how he struggled, it would all be in vain.
Xu Wu's sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Everyone here was very familiar with Xu Wu. Xu Wu, arrogant and domineering, had never groveled like this even in front of Emperor Dai. The words Xu Wu spoke now shocked everyone to the core.
Xu Wu actually wanted to turn traitor mid-battle?
Just a moment ago, Xu Wu was full of arrogance, intent on eliminating Xu Ran, but now his attitude had shifted so drastically?
"Haha. Worthy of being my son-in-law," Zhu Zìháo laughed heartily to the sky, watching Xu Wu—who had just looked down on even him—reduced to this state, he felt smug, and his understanding of Xu Ran's strength deepened even more.
He had long known about Xu Ran's general strength from the accounts of Zhu Qing Zhu Yun. Naturally, Xu Ran's power was far above that of Xu Wu.
What he cared about was Xu Wu's attitude.
A moment ago, Xu Wu was vocally adamant about destroying his Zhu Clan. And now? Such a turnaround made him feel quite proud. This was the fate of those who crossed the Zhu Clan.
Now, it seemed the Xu family should be the one to be wiped out.
That's how warfare between clans worked—it was a fight to the death, either you or me.
And the young disciples of the Zhu Clan cried tears of joy, chanting Xu Ran's name.
Now, they were completely reassured.
"Xu Wu, you bastard. Do you think begging for mercy will work? You deserve to die!" Emperor Dai's face twisted with anger. Seeing Xu Wu suddenly switch sides, and realizing Xu Ran's strength, he felt helpless and his gaze grew resentful.
"What's it to you? If it wasn't for you pushing me, would my Xu family have encountered such a dilemma? If your Dai family wants to die, don't drag me down with you," Xu Wu said with eyes red with rage.
At this point, the sense of impending death was growing ever stronger in his heart, oppressive enough to choke him. All he felt was deep fear, and he gritted his teeth with hatred toward the Dai family.
"Brother Zhu, please spare my life. I was just being foolish; please let me go for the sake of the many years we've worked together," Xu Wu begged Zhu Zìháo for mercy.

"Hmph. You spoke of the victor being the king and the loser the bandit. If Xu Ran had not appeared today, what would have become of the Zhu Clan? And what of 'Zhu Zhuyun'?" Zhu Zìháo coldly said. As a powerful figure in the Xingluo Empire who could summon wind and rain, he was no pushover.
"Xu Ran..." Xu Wu looked at Xu Ran with a demanding gaze.
"It seems you still don't know where you went wrong. My woman is not someone you can lay your hands on. Just for this crime alone, you are utterly unforgivable. Not just you, your Xu family will be annihilated by me as well. You won't be lonely beneath the Nine Springs."
"Ah! Xu Ran, I begged for your mercy and you still won't spare me. I'll fight you!"
Xu Wu's eyes turned red, knowing full well Xu Ran wouldn't spare him. Endless Soul Power surged from his body as he charged at Xu Ran.
The sight of his frenzy was startling.
They all saw it very clearly.
Before Xu Ran arrived, how arrogant Xu Wu was. Yet, in just a few minutes, Xu Wu was groveling before Xu Ran, begging for his life, and now he was in such a frenzy.
"Die."
Xu Ran's voice was indifferent.
He extended a finger and a thread of Soul Power, honed to perfection, pierced through Xu Wu's body, blood gushing out.
Xu Wu looked at Xu Ran in shock, his resentful eyes fixed on Xu Ran as his body heavily fell to the ground.
Boom!
In just one encounter, Xu Wu, a formidable figure in the Xingluo Empire, was dead.
Everyone who had come with Emperor Dai to act against the Zhu Clan panicked.
What level of strength was that?
Even a Titled Douluo possibly couldn't eliminate a Soul Douluo so effortlessly.
"It's your turn now."
Xu Ran's gaze swept over all those around him; everyone who met his eyes promptly lowered their heads, filled with fear and unease.
"Xu Ran, leave the rest to me," a cool voice sounded in Xu Ran's ear.
Zhu Zhuqing stood beside Xu Ran, her eyes brimming with a desire to kill.
How could she hide behind others when her family was in trouble? Especially now that her own strength had grown, she was not afraid of these people at all. For her, a Titled Douluo, to take down these people was far too easy.
"I've just broken through and would like some practice," Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Ran and blinked her large eyes. She didn't want to hide behind Xu Ran for her whole life. As for the much stronger individuals beyond her, if she couldn't help Xu Ran, so be it. But these scoundrels, she didn't want Xu Ran to bother himself with them.
"Alright."
Xu Ran nodded slightly.
With Zhu Zhuqing's capabilities, she indeed had more than enough strength to deal with them.
"Zhu Zhuqing? You want to take us on?"
People from Emperor Dai's side looked at Zhu Zhuqing as if they had heard the greatest news ever. They were all incredulous. Zhu Zhuqing and "Zhu Zhuyun" stood together, a pair of stunning sisters, a sight for sore eyes.
As for strength... what strength could Zhu Zhuqing possibly have?
Xu Ran was a peerless powerhouse; with a mere wave of his hand, he had killed Xu Wu. If Xu Ran took action against them, their deaths were certain. But if it was Zhu Zhuqing...
"As long as you can defeat me, you can live," Zhu Zhuqing said as she looked down at the crowd with a smile curving on her lips. That smile, though beautiful, was somewhat eerie at the moment.
For such a young and beautiful girl to utter such bold words to the Soul Emperors, Soul Sages, and Soul Douluos below, it stunned everyone present.
