Chapter 109 The Secret Method of Stealing Someone’s Blood

Zhu Hongtao was surprised when he heard this.

He had always been puzzled by Zhu Zhuqing's progress in cultivation over the years.

He knew his daughter's talent very well, otherwise he would not have been so cold to her.

Because in his heart, even if his daughter could escape death in the future, her fate would not be much better.

In comparison, Zhu Zhuyun was the most likely heir to allow the Zhu family to continue to develop steadily.

Looking at the book handed over by Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Hongtao's eyes condensed, he took it and gently flipped through it.

The more he read, the more shocked he was.

As a Soul Douluo-level strongman, he naturally had some vision.

Although he had not practiced to truly feel the effect, he had already been touched.

In the practice system of Douluo Continent, soul masters are not completely ignorant of the role of meridians, but they just don't know where to start.

The human body is like a sophisticated instrument.

For ordinary people, without a lot of experiments, who dares to easily try to guide the soul power in the body?

If Su Cheng had not possessed the unique and powerful talent of "medical genius" in the last simulation.

Even if he had more human bodies, drugs, and medical data, he would not be able to achieve much success in this area without conducting a large number of human experiments.

Looking at Zhu Hongtao, who was in a state of great shock, Zhu Zhuqing continued, "Not only that, father, this technique also has the effect of improving the quality of martial souls."

As she spoke, a shadow floated up on her body, and the martial soul Nether Spirit Cat appeared outside her body, and six soul rings quietly surrounded her feet.

"Father, come and see."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongtao reluctantly moved his eyes away from the Nirvana Sutra in his hand.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing at this time.

His pupils shrank again.

The Nether Spirit Cat martial soul in front of him seemed to be essentially different from his own martial soul.

Although the appearance did not change much, the gloomy and cold meaning was even more severe.

"Martial Soul, Possession."

The spiked cat claws instantly popped out from Zhu Zhuqing's palm, and Zhu Hongtao felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

The martial soul possession was completed in an instant.

The sharp cat claws stabbed forward as fast as lightning.

As the claws stretched forward, her entire right arm deformed little by little.

White hair emerged, and black lines appeared.

The spiked claws grew further, becoming thicker and longer, like a tough and sharp dagger inserted on the palm, with dazzling cold light flashing in between.

During this process, the seventh soul ring under her feet also quietly emerged.

The whole process was as fast as lightning, leaving Zhu Hongtao no time to react.

The method of cutting pulses and continuing qi!

Zhu Hongtao was just reading the Nirvana Sutra, and his mind was already immersed in it.

He was completely unprepared for Zhu Zhuqing, his biological daughter, and did not expect the other party to suddenly attack.

The power of the pulse-breaking and qi-regenerating method in the hands of a Soul Saint is completely different from that in the hands of a low-level Soul Saint.

The speed of the attack is so fast that even Zhu Hongtao cannot react in time.

If the opponent's soul power is low, he can still dodge with the breath suppression of the Soul Douluo and the higher level of physical strength.

But now the seven soul rings under Zhu Zhuqing's feet clearly show her current Soul Saint's cultivation strength.

And she is not an ordinary Soul Saint.

The breath fluctuations that burst out in an instant almost made Zhu Hongtao feel that the opponent's strength is at the same level as his Soul Douluo.

The seventh soul ring that seemed to reveal a trace of red light in the darkness made him even more horrified.

"Swish--"

The sharp claws instantly pierced into the heart, and the sound of flesh tearing sounded.

The violent soul power instantly shattered his heart.

Zhu Hongtao died.

Zhu Zhuqing bent down and gently took back the Nirvana Sutra manuscript from the opponent's hand.

Then, a soul power fluctuation flashed across her beautiful face.

Like the ripples of water, his face and figure slowly changed, revealing Su Cheng's appearance.

"Just a Soul Douluo."

Today, Su Cheng's cultivation is higher than Zhu Zhuqing's, and he has already been promoted to the Soul Saint level.

And his external soul bone "mask" has now been strengthened many times as his strength increases.

Let alone an ordinary Soul Douluo like Zhu Hongtao, even an ordinary Titled Douluo can't see through his disguise.

Unless it is a Titled Douluo who is already strong and sensitive, he can see some flaws after careful observation.

However, although the camouflage ability of this soul bone is strong, it can cover up the appearance, martial soul, and aura. But when he really attacks with all his strength, he can no longer cover it up.

This is why when he just attacked Zhu Hongtao, he unconsciously revealed the true form of the seventh soul ring and the white tiger martial soul.

However, Su Cheng, who has the method of breaking the pulse and renewing the qi, combined with this external soul bone "mask", can easily assassinate people whose cultivation level is not much higher than his own.

The real Zhu Hongtao must die.

No one can hide his true colors forever. Next, he will lay out in the imperial capital, and this identity will be of great use to him.

The most important thing is that he will have a lot of contact with Zhu Zhuqing in this identity later.

Su Cheng does not understand Zhu Hongtao and does not know what the other party really thinks.

If he is unwilling to take action at this time because of too many concerns, it is easy to leave hidden dangers.

It is better to strike first. Without the real Zhu Hongtao, he is the only Zhu Hongtao.

In the following period, Su Cheng temporarily handed over the power of the Duke's Palace to Zhu Zhuyun in the name of Duke Netherworld.

And he went out and assassinated several royal loyalists one after another.

The cultivation of these people may not be top-notch, but they are definitely not weak either. Almost all of them are at the Soul King or Soul Emperor level, and there is even a Soul Saint among them.

After all, in the political system of the Star Luo Empire, it is difficult to reach a high position if one is too weak.

The strength of these people is still secondary, mainly because their location is extremely critical. After these people died, the influence of the royal Dai family in the Star Luo Empire was greatly weakened in a short period of time.

In this process, he did not use his martial spirit and solved them all with swordsmanship.

Although Su Cheng no longer has the Wuhun Eternal Sword at this time, and the apparent power of the sword intention is naturally suppressed in the simulated world, the sword intention can follow his heart, and his swordsmanship is still top-notch.

Coupled with his own cultivation and the method of breaking pulses and replenishing qi, he can easily carry out a sneak attack.

But he didn't go too far.

It is enough to only deal with a few key people. If you do too much, your flaws will inevitably be exposed. If someone discovers traces, it won't be worth the loss if it arouses suspicion on Zhu Zhuqing and himself.

Moreover, excessive intervention will also lead to a lower final settlement score. The current situation is enough for Zhu Zhuqing to fish in troubled waters, and he does not need to do too much.

The unexpected deaths of these people indeed caused considerable confusion among the upper echelons of the empire.

Although no one knew who was responsible, the suspect in most people's minds was actually Zhu Zhuqing.

Many of these vacated key positions were taken by people from the Zhu Zhuqing faction.

Three months later, the power dispute in the upper echelons of the empire temporarily eased.

In the Zhu family's study, Su Cheng stood behind the desk disguised as Zhu Hongtao.

Opposite him was Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was now somber that it was difficult to decipher his true thoughts.

"Xiao Qing, your recent actions are really generous. It seems that I am really getting old."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned when he heard this, but did not deny anything.

Although she felt a little baffled by the series of changes that happened some time ago, she had gained the greatest benefit after all, and there was no need to deny anything now.

Just be aware of it.

"What level of cultivation have you reached now?" Su Cheng asked in a deep voice.

"Already at level seventy, I'm preparing to absorb the seventh soul ring and become a soul saint."

"Don't be in a hurry to advance. There is no bottleneck in the practice of Nirvana Sutra. It does not absorb soul rings. It is just that the level cannot be broken through for the time being. The actual soul power is constantly accumulated. After a while, I will help you find some soul beasts. The news will be much better than your promotion now.”

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this.

The number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts is not uncommon, so why suppress cultivation for this reason.

Indeed, with the skills at hand, she could continue to accumulate soul power even without a breakthrough, but the efficiency would be much lower. In her opinion, this was a waste of time and was completely unnecessary.

"You don't have to worry, I know what you're thinking, but I can't harm you." Su Cheng said calmly, "I'm no longer as good as you in matters of intrigue, but I can still give you some pointers in practice. . You don’t need to wait too long, you will not be disappointed when the time comes.”

After Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, he nodded and agreed.

Although it would slow down her practice, she could still afford to wait for a year and a half.

"I will be quite busy during the next period of time. I will leave it to you to take care of all the affairs in the house. You can use all resources at your own will."

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing nodded calmly and didn't try to evade.

The Zhu family has a lot of background in the imperial capital. With these political resources, it can help her power and authority go further.

"And one more thing."

Su Cheng took out a page of manuscript from his arms, rubbed it gently with his fingertips for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Zhuqing opposite.

"Over the years, I have developed a secret method that can steal people's martial soul bloodline..."

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Cheng with narrowed pupils.

The eyes that had been as dull as water before suddenly showed a bright light, and he murmured and repeated: "Stealing people's bloodline?!"

"That's right." Su Cheng nodded gently and looked at her deeply, "Su Cheng is your best choice for using this secret technique."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned and stared deeply at the slightly older face of his father in front of him.

He said flatly: "I don't need it!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the study.

Su Cheng stood behind the desk, looking at the other person's leaving figure with a calm expression.

He whispered to himself: "No, you will need it, it's just that the time has not come yet."
