...
A terrifying aura weighed heavily on their hearts, causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
"Quick, get out of the way!"
In this critical moment, Ning Rongrong was the first to shout, quickly reaching out to grab the dazed Zhu Zhuqing and pulling her back.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Ning Rongrong's face turned pale, and she gasped for breath, with cold sweat dripping down her pale cheeks.
Looking over, they saw a deep trench on the ground where they had been just moments ago, filled with a terrifying and suffocating aura of murderous intent.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but swallow her saliva, fear flickering in her eyes as she stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
Zeng Yi, he really wanted to kill them!
Ning Rongrong could hardly believe it. He had obviously seen the two of them just now, yet he began to attack.
Although five years had passed and they had grown a lot, their appearances had not changed significantly. If he couldn't even recognize them, he must be blind.
So, there was only one reason!
He had forgotten about her and Zhu Zhuqing.
This thought quickly surfaced in Ning Rongrong's mind. With this realization, she immediately regained her composure and understood what she should do now.
Under the pressure of death, her mood became extremely tense.
In an instant, a dazzling array of nine-colored radiance emerged from Ning Rongrong's body, with each spirit ring appearing one by one, shining brightly around her graceful figure. The five spirit rings, symbolizing the Spirit King realm, emanated a majestic aura.
A nine-layer crystal tower materialized in her palm, radiating divine light. Her long hair and clothes danced in the fluctuation of her spirit power. In the brilliance of the nine-colored light, she resembled a celestial being, exuding an elegant and noble temperament.
Martial Spirit, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
[1st Spirit Ring: Strength Amplification!]
[2nd Spirit Ring: Agility Amplification!]
[3rd Spirit Ring: Spirit Power Amplification!]
[4th Spirit Ring: Defense Amplification!]
[5th Spirit Ring: Attack Power Amplification!]
In an instant, Ning Rongrong released all five of her spirit skills. In the blink of an eye, five streams of colored light entered Zhu Zhuqing's body beside her.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing's body erupted with incredibly powerful strength.
Ning Rongrong, who had already reached the Spirit King realm and possessed the strongest auxiliary Martial Spirit, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which increased her teammate's abilities by sixty percent.
Strength, Agility, Spirit Power, Defense, Attack Power - a comprehensive sixty percent improvement. This would make Zhu Zhuqing's combat power no weaker than any Spirit Saint-level expert!
Even a Spirit Douluo would struggle against her!
"Zhuqing! Stop daydreaming! This is not the Zeng Yi we know! He doesn't remember us! While dumbfounded, we will die here!" With a shout, Ning Rongrong had exhausted all her augmentation spirit skills and practically yelled these words out.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze contracted, her shoulders trembling slightly.
He had forgotten!
Spirit power surged within her, and in an instant, her smooth, waist-length jet-black hair transformed into brilliant blue and purple, resembling a starry sky. Her hair flowed freely, resembling a radiant galaxy.
"How is this possible!" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened, and with her heightened emotions, her spirit power appeared one after another, flickering with dazzling light.
A sharp longsword materialized in her hand. She held it with both hands, looking at the familiar figure in front of her, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
Perhaps Rongrong was right! He really doesn't remember us.
She didn't know what had happened to him to cause such a change. But the memories engraved deep in her heart, the most precious memories, how could they be so easily forgotten!
I will make you wake up!
In Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, which resembled a starry sky, a resolute determination emerged. In the next moment, her body disappeared from its original position, charging forward.
"What?!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing taking the lead in attacking, Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded.
The opponent possessed the terrifying ability to kill Titled Douluo! Charging at him like this, wasn't it like handing herself over?
Helplessly, Ning Rongrong could only follow Zhu Zhuqing and launch her own attack.
Although she was a powerful auxiliary spirit master, her spirit skills could also enhance her own abilities. Even as a support-type spirit master, she could unleash formidable spirit power.
Moreover, she was not an ordinary support-type spirit master; she also possessed some combat abilities. Over the past five years, Ning Rongrong had changed a lot, not only in terms of increasing her spirit power, but also by focusing on strengthening her physical abilities through training.
To this end, she also sought advice from Zhu Zhuqing on close-quarters combat techniques and honed her combat skills.
Of course, her limited combat ability was similar to an ant dancing around in front of the mad Zeng Yi, so Ning Rongrong naturally didn't choose to engage in close-quarters combat.
After seeing Zhu Zhuqing taking action, Ning Rongrong quickly reacted and moved to the side.
Like a nimble and elusive rabbit, while running, she extended her arm towards her target direction. In the blink of an eye, three slender darts, wrapped in spirit power, flew towards Zeng Yi at lightning speed.
[Hidden Weapons: Shadow Needle!]
As a support-type spirit master, she indeed lacked offensive skills, but the presence of hidden weapons compensated for that.
Combining the spirit power techniques Zeng Yi had taught her with the hidden weapons Tang San had given her, these attacks possessed a power not inferior to that of a spirit master's spirit skills.
Furthermore, she had coated the hidden weapons with poison to enhance their effectiveness.
However, in order to avoid causing harm, Ning Rongrong did not choose lethal poisons; they were only smeared with strong anesthetics.
Seeing the madman over there, Ning Rongrong knew that the chances of suppressing this person were slim, but she still held onto a glimmer of hope.
What if, just what if?
"So, wake up! Zeng Yi!!!"
Shouting at the top of her lungs, the three small projectiles flew towards Zeng Yi in an instant, while Zhu Zhuqing leaped into the air, tightly gripping the Star Blade in both hands and slashing down.
But how could the demon-like Zeng Yi fear such attacks? Even a Titled Douluo had been slain by him!
Although he had engaged in a fierce battle and exerted all his strength to kill the Titled Douluo, his body was severely injured. Even though he could ignore pain, his spirit power had also been greatly depleted.
Otherwise, how could Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing have avoided his previous attack? They would have perished under Zeng Yi's demonic sword long ago.
However, even in his current state, Zeng Yi was not someone Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong could confront head-on.
"Ahahaha~" He laughed maniacally, his blood-red eyes fixed on Zhu Zhuqing, completely ignoring the three needles that Ning Rongrong had launched. As the falling sword approached from above, his demonic hand swiftly reached out!
How could this be!
The sword descended, and Zhu Zhuqing widened her eyes.
She saw that Zeng Yi showed no fear of her attack, merely catching the falling sword with his palm, blocking this swift and fierce strike.
The sharp sword tore through his palm, and blood continued to overflow.
Witnessing this scene, Zhu Zhuqing felt a pang of heartache.
She wanted to retreat, but the sword had been caught by Zeng Yi.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze locked with Zeng Yi's blood-red sinister eyes. A wicked smile curled up on his lips.
Bang!
Zhu Zhuqing's widened eyes witnessed her sword being shattered into pieces in an instant, followed by a violent impact striking her abdomen!
In that instant, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body bent into an arc, and a terrifying force erupted from behind her, visible to the naked eye.
The tremendous force caused her clothes to burst open, revealing her fair and jade-like skin through the large hole.
A mouthful of blood sprayed out of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth, and her body uncontrollably flew backward.
