When Zhu Hongtao heard this, he was surprised in his heart.

Originally, he had always been puzzled by Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation over the years.

He couldn't know what his daughter's talent was, otherwise he wouldn't have been so cold to her at the beginning.

Because in his heart, even if this daughter can avoid death in the future, the end will not be much better.

In contrast, Zhu Zhuyun is the heir who is most likely to allow the Zhu family to continue to develop steadily.

Looking at the book handed over by Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Hongtao's eyes froze, he reached out to take it, and turned it gently.

The further back I looked, the more shocked I became.

As a Contra-level powerhouse, he naturally has some vision.

Although I haven't cultivated yet to really feel the effect, I have already been touched.

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

The human body is like a delicate instrument.

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

If it weren't for Su Cheng's unique and powerful talent of "Medical Dao Genius" in the last simulation.

No matter how much human, drug, and medical data he has, he doesn't want to make much progress in this area without conducting a lot of human experiments.

Glancing at Zhu Hongtao, who was violently shaking in front of him, Zhu Zhuqing continued: "Not only that, father, this exercise also has the effect of improving the quality of the martial soul. ”

As she spoke, the shadow on her body floated, the martial soul ghost ghost cat appeared outside her body, and six soul rings quietly surrounded her feet.

"Father, come and see."

When Zhu Hongtao heard this, he reluctantly removed his gaze from the Nirvana Sutra in his hand.

looked at Zhu Zhuqing at this time.

The pupils shrank again.

The ghost cat martial soul in front of him seemed to be somewhat fundamentally different from his own martial soul.

Although the appearance has not changed much, the eerie and cold meaning is a little more sophistication.

"Martial spirit, possessed."

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

The possession of the martial soul was completed in an instant.

The sharp cat's claws stabbed forward like lightning.

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

White hairs gush out, and black lines appear.

The spiky claws grew further, thicker and longer, like short daggers with toughness and sharpness stuck in the palm of the hand, and the piercing cold light flickered in the middle.

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

The whole process was as smooth as electricity, and Zhu Hongtao couldn't afford half a minute of reaction time.

Interrupted pulse method!

When Zhu Hongtao first read the Nirvana Sutra, most of his mind was still immersed in it.

was defenseless against Zhu Zhuqing's biological daughter, and he didn't expect the other party to suddenly attack him.

The power of the Pulse Breaking Qi Method in the hands of the Soul Saint was completely different from that of the low-level time.

The speed of activation is so fast that even with Zhu Hongtao's strength, he can't cope with it.

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

But now the seven soul rings under Zhu Zhuqing's feet unmistakably showed her Soul Saint's cultivation strength at this time.

And it's not an ordinary soul saint.

The aura fluctuations that erupted in her instant almost made Zhu Hongtao feel that the other party was in the same Contra realm as his own strength.

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

"Whew-"

The claws pierced into the heart in an instant, and the sound of flesh tearing followed.

The furious soul power instantly shattered his heart.

Zhu Hongtao died.

Zhu Zhuqing bent down and gently retrieved the manuscript of the Nirvana Sutra from the other party's hand.

Immediately, a fluctuation of soul power flashed on her beautiful face.

Like rippling water, his face and body slowly changed, and Su Cheng's appearance was revealed.

"It's just a Contra."

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

And his external soul bone "mask" has now been strengthened many times with the improvement of his strength.

Not to mention an ordinary Contra Douluo like Zhu Hongtao, even if it is an ordinary Title Douluo, he can't see through his disguise.

Unless it is a Title Douluo who is already relatively strong and has a keen perception, under careful observation, he can see some flaws.

However, although the camouflage ability of this soul bone is strong, it can be covered up regardless of appearance, martial soul, and breath. But when it comes time for him to really attack with all his might, he can't continue to cover it anymore.

This is also why when he attacked Zhu Hongtao just now, he would unconsciously reveal the true nature of the seventh soul ring and the White Tiger Martial Soul.

However, Su Cheng, who has the method of breaking the pulse and renewing qi in his body, superimposed this "mask" of the external soul bone, and used it to assassinate people whose cultivation realm does not exceed his own too much, it is really too easy.

The real Zhu Hongtao must die.

No one can never show his feet, and then he will lay out the layout in the imperial capital, and this identity is of great use.

The most important thing is that he will have a lot of contact with Zhu Zhuqing in this capacity in the future.

Su Cheng didn't know Zhu Hongtao, and he didn't know what the other party's real thoughts were.

At this time, if you are reluctant to start because you have too many concerns, it is easy to leave hidden dangers.

The first strike is strong, without the real Zhu Hongtao, then he is the only Zhu Hongtao.

For a period of time afterward, Su Cheng, in the name of the Duke of the Netherworld, temporarily handed over the power of the Duke's Mansion to Zhu Zhuyun in charge.

And he went out to assassinate several royal diehards one after another.

These people's cultivation may not be top-notch, but they are definitely not weak, almost all of them are at the Soul King and Soul Emperor levels, and there is even a Soul Saint among them.

After all, in the political system of the Star Luo Empire, it is difficult to be in a high position if the strength is too poor.

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

In this process, he did not use martial spirits, but solved them with swordsmanship.

Although Su Cheng did not have the Martial Soul Immortal Sword at this time, and the apparent power of the sword intent was naturally suppressed in the simulated world, the sword intent followed his heart, and his sword path was still at the top.

Combined with his own cultivation and the method of interrupting the pulse and sustaining qi, it is still easy to do a sneak attack.

But he didn't go too far.

It is enough to deal with only a few key people, and if you do too much, you will inevitably be exposed. If someone finds traces, it doesn't matter if anything else is aroused, and if it arouses suspicion about Zhu Zhuqing, it will be worth the loss.

And excessive interference will also lead to a decrease in the final settlement score, and the current situation is enough for Zhu Zhuqing to fish in troubled waters, and he doesn't need to do too much.

The unexpected death of these people did cause a lot of chaos in the upper echelons of the empire.

Although no one knows who made the shot, the object of suspicion in most people's hearts is actually Zhu Zhuqing.

Many of these vacated key positions were occupied by people from Zhu Zhuqing's faction.

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

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

Opposite him was Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was now dark, making it a little difficult to figure out what he really thought in his heart.

"Xiaoqing, your recent actions are really generous, it seems that I am really old."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned when he heard this, but he didn't deny anything.

Although she felt a little inexplicable about 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.

It's good to know what you know.

"What is the current state of your cultivation?" Su Cheng asked in a deep voice.

"It's already level seventy, and I'm about to absorb the seventh soul ring to advance to the Soul Saint."

"Don't be in a hurry to get promoted. There is no bottleneck in the cultivation of the Nirvana Sutra, and if the soul ring is not absorbed, it is only that the level cannot be broken through temporarily, and the actual soul power is constantly accumulating. After a while, I will help you find out some news about soul beasts, which will be much better than your current promotion. ”

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this.

The number of 10,000-year-old soul beasts is not uncommon, so why bother suppressing cultivation for this.

Indeed, with the practice of the body, even if there is no breakthrough, her soul power can continue to accumulate, but the efficiency is much lower, in her opinion, this is a practice of sacrificing the basics, and it is completely unnecessary.

"You don't have to worry, I know what you think, but I can't hurt you." Su Cheng said lightly, "I can't compare to you now, but I can still give you some guidance in this matter of cultivation." You don't need to wait too long, and you won't be disappointed when the time comes. ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing nodded and agreed.

Although she will slow down her cultivation, she can still afford to wait for a year and a half.

"I will be busy in the next period of time, and the affairs of the house will be left to you to take care of all the resources, and you can use all the resources at will."

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing replied with a flat face, and did not shirk much.

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

"One more thing."

Su Cheng took out a page of manuscript from his arms, and after gently rubbing his fingertips on it for a moment, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing opposite.

"Over the years, I have researched a secret method that can snatch the bloodline of the martial soul......"

Zhu Zhuqing raised his head suddenly, his pupils constricted and looked at Su Cheng.

The essence appeared in the eyes that had been as plain as water before, and he muttered and repeated: "Steal people's blood?!" ”

"That's right." Su Cheng bowed his head lightly, and looked at her with deep eyes, "Su Cheng, it is the best choice for you to use this secret method." ”

Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he looked deeply at his father's slightly old face in front of him.

Flatly: "I don't need it!" ”

With that, he turned around and left the study.

Su Cheng stood behind the desk, looking at the other party's departing back, with a flat expression.

He whispered to himself, "No, you're going to need it, it's just that the time hasn't come." ”
