"What's going on?" Chu Youzhao's eyes widened. She had thought her brother-in-law was in danger when she saw the Prince of Qi unleash his ultimate move, but the next second the prince was the one who got cleaved in two.

Murong Qinghe was also dumbfounded. The sudden turn of events was beyond her imagination. She subconsciously looked around and wondered, "Could it be that some expert is secretly helping us?"

She noticed that the large water sphere had appeared from the side. Could there be a powerful water-elemental expert hiding nearby?

The toothless coachman in the distance also looked around sharply, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Zu An walked up to the Prince of Qi and looked at him, who was convulsing. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Mastering mathematics, physics, and chemistry will make you fearless anywhere in the world. It's true what they say."

He had just seen the other party covered in lightning, so he immediately summoned the Blue Duck and gathered water from the surrounding area, such as ponds in some houses and large vats in many homes, secretly condensing a large water sphere to wait for the opportunity.

He hasn't awakened any water elemental abilities, so he can't make the most of water, such as combining it with his energy to create all sorts of fancy attack skills. However, he can still use the blue duck simply to water plants.

Just when the opponent thinks victory is assured, pour a bucket of cold water on him, making him understand that the world of cultivation is also governed by physical laws.

"Weren't you going to punish me with lightning? Why aren't you doing it?" Zuan said mockingly, looking at the body in front of him that was completely black, emitting white smoke and smelling burnt.

The Prince of Qi moved his fingers, seemingly trying to summon lightning, but only a tiny blue arc of electricity appeared on his fingers before he was paralyzed and trembled all over.

"Oh, you want to shock me, huh?" Zuan chuckled, stepping directly on his chest. "Who was it that just now said that nothing matters in the face of an absolute power difference?"

With his chest being stepped on, the Prince of Qi had never suffered such humiliation. He struggled desperately, but his entire body was paralyzed by the electric shock. What should have been a fierce struggle turned into some unconscious twitches.

Anger from Zhao Zhi: +999 +999 +999...

Actually, if he hadn't been a lightning elemental user, anyone else would have been cooked long ago after being struck by so much lightning.

It's already a miracle that he's still alive, but he'll probably need several months of rest and recuperation to fully recover.

Zu An looked down and couldn't help but laugh. The Prince of Qi's once flowing long hair was now standing on end, and his luxurious clothes had been turned to ashes by lightning. At first, they barely maintained their original shape, but as he twisted, his charred clothes completely shattered, revealing his blackened body underneath.

"ah!"

Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe, who were looking this way, were startled and quickly turned their heads away, their hearts pounding.

Murong Qinghe glanced at her beloved beside her with some doubt, thinking to herself, "I'm a woman and I'm too embarrassed to look, what are you afraid of?"

Chu Youzhao's face was flushed, and there was a hint of doubt between her brows. She was pondering a question: why were the Prince of Qi's son and her brother-in-law's hair different?

So small...

So who exactly is at fault?

Zu An looked down at the area three inches below the Prince of Qi's abdomen, a hint of disdain flashing across his face: "That's it?"

However, in front of the girls, he couldn't very well challenge them, so he gestured with the tip of his sword nearby and said, "They're all burnt. Shall I cut them off for you?"

The Prince of Qi was terrified. Other injuries could be healed slowly, but this thing was really hard to reattach once it was broken.

As the saying goes, flowers may bloom again, but a rooster will never be young again.

He had been so arrogant, but his tone softened instantly: "It's a bit crunchy, but if you save your strength, it's still usable."

Zuan laughed: "It's already like this, and you still want to use it? You should be grateful if you can even use it to pee."

The Prince of Qi forced a smile, but inwardly he was furious. This bastard had humiliated me so much, I will tear him to pieces one day!

Anger points from Zhao Zhi: +1024 +1024 +1024...

Seeing the string of anger levels in the background, Zu An's face turned cold: "Are you cursing me in your heart right now?"

"No...no..." The Prince of Qi's expression changed. He wanted to say something flattering to ease the atmosphere, but given his status, he had always been the one receiving compliments from others since childhood. He had never flattered anyone before, and he couldn't bring himself to be obsequious.

“Oh right, I remember now,” Zuan said with a look of sudden realization, “Someone just said that I should cut off my own hands and feet and kowtow to apologize.”

"You misunderstood, that's not what I meant." The Prince of Qi hurriedly explained. He thought that no matter what, he should get through the current crisis first. Once the people from the Qi Prince's Mansion received the news and came to his rescue, he would make this guy pay tenfold or a hundredfold!

"So you're saying I'm deaf?" Zuan said coldly.

Prince Qi's Crown Prince: "..."

He never expected the other person to have such a peculiar way of thinking, but he quickly realized that the other person was deliberately picking a fight, and no matter how he answered, he would be played.

He took a deep breath, and after a brief moment of panic, his expression calmed down: "You don't need to put on airs here. Do you think you can hurt me? I am the heir apparent of the Prince of Qi, and also a military officer of the court. If I suffer even the slightest injury, you will be punished tenfold or a hundredfold."

Zuan frowned: "Your identity is indeed a bit troublesome, especially your old man."

A mocking and disdainful smile appeared on the King of Qi's ashen face: "Not bad, you do know when to stop. Help me up and take me back to the King of Qi's residence. I can let bygones be bygones today."
