My Bottom Line Is Not Yours to Cross! (Revised)

After a flash of cold light, the Seventh Elder stared blankly at the scene before him.

All his men had been cut in half at the waist. Severed bodies littered the floor, and blood had sprayed across the entire room.

The Seventh Elder looked at the person before him as though he were looking at a demon.

Ye Lei looked at the Seventh Elder, covered in blood, and slowly said, "Remember this: my bottom line is not yours to cross!" With that, he hefted the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and charged out...

Watching Ye Lei's retreating figure gradually disappear, the Seventh Elder finally came back to his senses. After a moment, he took an unfamiliar phone from his pocket, found a number, and dialed it. After two beeps, an aged yet imposing voice sounded. "What is it, little brother..."

While searching for an exit, Ye Lei ran into several soldiers. Before they could approach, he knocked them unconscious with lashes of Blue Silver Grass. When he reached the entrance, the guards did not dare stop him, because they had received their captain's warning: do not block a man holding a blue spear unless you want to be split in two...

After rushing out of the military headquarters, Ye Lei used Soul Power and sprinted toward the city center...

Meanwhile, after the Sixth Elder in Shu City heard his younger brother's words, his face turned troubled. After thinking for a moment, he said to the Seventh Elder, "For now, don't provoke him again. I'll speak to the Great Elder later, and we'll discuss a countermeasure then. Focus on cultivation for now." Without waiting for the Seventh Elder to reply, he hung up.

The Seventh Elder looked at the phone's black screen, turned around, and left the room. He then summoned people to clean up the mess inside...

The people who entered afterward were dumbfounded by the sight before them...

Noon, city center.

A massive number of soul beasts suddenly appeared throughout the vast city, frantically destroying it as people's screams and cries for help rang out without end...

Just as Ye Lei was about to enter the city center, the Soul Beast Detector on his left hand suddenly began emitting continuous beeps. Confused, Ye Lei raised his left hand and immediately frowned. A red exclamation mark flashed on the detector, with a line of text beneath it: Beast tide detected ahead. Number unknown. Age unknown...

"Ding. The host has triggered a side quest. Please face the beast tide alone. Reward upon completion: 'Tang Sect Secret Arts'!"

Upon hearing the words "Tang Sect Secret Arts," Ye Lei shot into the air and charged straight toward the beast tide...

At that moment, Han Nuan and her family were shopping at the mall, completely unaware of the bloody chaos outside.

Suddenly, a disturbance erupted at the mall entrance, accompanied by occasional screams.

"What's going on?" Hearing the commotion, Han Nuan and her family walked out of the store and were instantly shocked. "This... Why are there so many soul beasts in the city?" Han Nuan's jaw dropped.

As soul beasts continued pouring in, the mall doors were crushed apart. Suddenly, a King of Earth spat a fireball one meter in diameter toward Han Nuan's group. As the fireball drew closer and closer, the people behind Han Nuan had no way to dodge and cried out, "We're done for..." Then they heard a voice shout, "First Soul Skill, Rhinoceros Fire Shield!"

A fiery red shield appeared before a man and blocked the fireball.

That man was Han's Father. After blocking the King of Earth's attack, Han's Mother charged forward as well.

"First Soul Skill, Nether Blade!"

Han's Mother sent ten claw blades flying from each hand, shooting straight toward the King of Earth's head.

Crack.

The sound of a skull shattering rang out as a large amount of dark green blood instantly sprayed from the King of Earth's head.

The King of Earth fell.

Han's Mother successfully claimed the first kill.

Watching her parents begin fighting, Han Nuan grew furious. Looks like I'll have to ask Ye Lei to help me obtain a soul ring...

As she thought this, a huge group of soul beasts suddenly charged toward them.

The leading soul beasts unleashed their respective skills. In an instant, five or six different soul skills flew toward Han Nuan's group.

Seeing this, Han's Father unleashed his First Soul Skill again.

This time, it blocked the attacks, but Han's Father's Rhinoceros Fire Shield shattered.

At this moment, even more soul beasts attacked them...
