Two-Ring Enemies, Three Against One (Fourth Update)

"Well, well, where did this little brat come from? This isn't a place you should be.

This isn't something you can meddle in either. Get the hell out of my way and stop interfering with my business!"

Guang Long glanced at Xie Xie and snarled.

At that moment, Long Yuan and Gu Yue had also squeezed their way to the front of the crowd.

Seeing the shop in complete disarray, their expressions darkened as well.

They hated people who bullied the weak by relying on their strength.

"How can you treat Uncle Li like this? Do you even have any humanity?"

Xie Xie pulled Uncle Li aside, pointed at the bald man, and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He looked around. Many people had already gathered here, and he truly wanted to kill this bald brute right then and there.

He was simply too detestable.

Outside the crowd just now, Xie Xie had heard everything clearly. This bald brute collected protection fees along this street.

He came once every so often, with no fixed schedule.

He must have collected quite a lot in protection fees.

Damn it, protection fees were supposed to be payment for protecting the merchants.

Who would have thought that this bastard would actually bully the merchants instead?

It was utterly outrageous.

"Can humanity fill your stomach? Brat, get the hell out of here and stop delaying my business!"

With that, the bald brute kicked at Xie Xie.

Boom! At that moment, Soul Power erupted from Xie Xie's body, and he charged forward.

Bang!

Guang Long was knocked staggering by a punch, stumbling back several steps and nearly falling to the ground.

"They're fighting! They're fighting!"

"Move aside!"

"Let's go, let's go..."

"..."

Seeing that the two sides had already come to blows, the onlookers hurriedly cleared a path.

"That kid is too impulsive. He dared to provoke Long Ge—does he have a death wish?"

"Yeah, everyone knows how formidable Long Ge is. If things go wrong, someone could die!" people in the crowd whispered.

They felt that Xie Xie had been far too reckless to dare clash with Long Ge.

If he enraged Long Ge, he might very well end up dead.

"Kid, you're courting death..."

Guang Long steadied himself, rage surging to the heavens as the muscles all over his body bulged. He charged at Xie Xie.

But at that moment, Xie Xie's Soul Power erupted, and the Light Dragon Dagger martial soul appeared.

Caught off guard, Guang Long instantly had the Light Dragon Dagger pressed against his throat.

"Apologize to Uncle Li right now and compensate him for his losses. Otherwise, die!"

Xie Xie's voice was icy. This was a shop he often visited, and a place his mother often came to as well. If it closed down, where would he go to eat such delicious Stewed Beef in Clay Pot in the future?

Besides, Uncle Li had always treated him well. He could not stand seeing Uncle Li being bullied.

"Forget it, Xie Xie, forget it. Let him go quickly. Don't do anything foolish!"

When Uncle Li heard that Xie Xie actually wanted to kill the bald brute, his face instantly turned pale.

He was afraid Xie Xie would do something reckless.

If he really killed the bald brute, Xie Xie might get himself into trouble, which would be very detrimental to his growth.

"Uncle Li, I'm fine. I'm going to get justice for you."

As Xie Xie spoke, the Light Dragon Dagger sliced across the bald brute's neck, and blood seeped out.

"Ah, don't! Little brother, let's talk this out. Let's talk this out!"

Feeling the icy Light Dragon Dagger cut his neck and blood beginning to flow, the bald brute broke out in a cold sweat, fear filling his face.

This kid was far too impulsive. He actually dared to hurt him.

He had originally wanted to threaten him, but now he did not dare.

"Little brother, don't be impulsive. We can talk this out. We... we'll compensate him!"

The two burly men beside him were frightened as well.

"There's nothing to discuss with you. Compensate him for the losses and medical expenses, and promise that you'll never come harass Uncle Li again."

"And don't come collecting protection fees again, Uncle Li. We don't need your protection!"

Boom!

But at that moment, Soul Power erupted from Light Dragon's body. He reached out, gripped the Light Dragon Dagger, and broke free in one swift motion.

"Kid, I was only pretending to be weak just now. You only have one Soul Ring—do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

As Light Dragon spoke, two rings of light flashed beneath his feet, one white and one yellow. Two Soul Rings rose up, pulsing above and below his tall, burly body.

His skin turned entirely iron-gray at that moment, and raised Iron-Gray Scales emerged around his neck, looking extremely tough.

Even if Xie Xie had attacked him with the Light Dragon Dagger earlier, he might not have been able to injure him.

"A two-ring Soul Grandmaster!"

Gu Yue, standing nearby, cried out in shock. That guy's Soul Power had actually surpassed level twenty—he was a Soul Grandmaster with two Soul Rings.

"Should we step in?"

Gu Yue glanced at Long Yuan and spoke softly.

Xie Xie only had one Soul Ring. On his own, he would likely find it difficult to deal with a two-ring Soul Grandmaster.

"Let's watch for now!"

Long Yuan replied quietly. At the moment, the three thugs still didn't know they were together.

If they really started fighting and Xie Xie proved no match for him, they could step in and catch him off guard. They would definitely win.

Two tiny Spirit Souls appeared on Light Dragon's shoulders.

One was an earthy-yellow lizard, while the other was an iron-gray lizard. The latter was somewhat larger.

As the Soul Rings appeared, Light Dragon's body rapidly changed, swelling by a full size.

His muscles became even more exaggerated.

He gave off an exceptionally vicious feeling.

Boom! Light Dragon charged at Xie Xie.

His Martial Soul was the Ironclad Dragon, a subspecies Earth Dragon that excelled most at strength and defense.

Xie Xie fought him with all his strength.

But after only a few exchanges, he was knocked back.

"Roar..."

Seeing that things were going badly, Long Yuan had no choice but to rush out and quickly release his White Dragon Martial Soul.

A yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring rose up, and the Water Dragon Spirit appeared on his shoulder.

He swiftly condensed a Mystic Frost Giant Dragon and sent it charging fiercely toward Light Dragon.

"Hm?"

Light Dragon saw that Long Yuan's Martial Soul was also a Dragon Kind Martial Soul. The instant it was released, he felt his own Martial Soul being suppressed.

A shocked expression appeared on his face. He quickly used his First Soul Skill, Ironclad Body, to take Long Yuan's attack head-on.

Bang! The Mystic Frost Giant Dragon slammed solidly into Light Dragon's chest, knocking him back several steps before he finally stopped.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to be with this brat. You've got a dragon Martial Soul too—not bad!" Light Dragon sneered. "But you're only a one-ring Soul Master. How could you possibly be my match?!"

As he spoke, a faint silvery sheen spread across the iron-gray skin covering Light Dragon's body.

Even his eyes lit up with silver radiance at that moment.

His body swelled once more, and surging Soul Power fluctuations coiled around him from head to toe.

His hands rapidly enlarged, his joints protruding as claws over three inches long extended from his fingers.

Second Soul Skill, Ironclad Dragon Body.

After using his Second Soul Skill, both his offense and defense rose to an entirely new level.

His level twenty-seven Soul Power erupted in full force. Many people nearby were caught in the shockwave and sent staggering back.

Some were even knocked to the ground and suffered minor injuries.

But they only dared to be angry without saying anything, blaming themselves for standing there to watch the show.

"Damn, it's over, it's over. Even the three of them together probably aren't a match for Light Dragon."

"Sigh, I told you that young man would suffer. A thug like Light Dragon is not someone you can afford to provoke."

"I can't bear to watch anymore. Those three will probably fall here today!"

The spectators in the distance revealed shocked expressions when they saw Light Dragon's two Soul Rings and felt the vast Soul Power radiating from him.

They sympathized with Long Yuan and the other two. The three of them would likely fall here.

The reason Light Dragon could swagger around this area collecting protection fees without restraint was because he was a powerful Soul Master.

Boom! Bang! Long Yuan, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie had never expected Light Dragon to be a Soul Grandmaster, nor had they expected the Soul Power he released to be so powerful.

The three no longer hid anything. Taking up positions from three directions, they surrounded Light Dragon in the middle and launched a fierce assault from the very start.
