"Are you provoking me?"
Faced with Yu Luoyang's mockery, Mu Ge's expression immediately turned icy.
Among the martial souls of the Upper Three Sects, he happened to be missing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Yu Luoyang had come at just the right time.
Mu Ge would not generously pretend nothing had happened in the face of provocation.
He was simply not someone who could stomach being slighted.
One could say he was narrow-minded.
Otherwise, he would not have suffered a mental breakdown and embarked on the path of a Fallen One just because of the cold mockery of those sect disciples.
Even though he had not awakened the memories of his previous life at the time, his personality had actually been much the same.
Of course, Mu Ge also knew gratitude.
That was why, despite the many Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples who had once mocked and ridiculed him, he had not retaliated against them or secretly attacked sect disciples to devour their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirits. After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had raised him.
"That's right. I've hated the sight of you for a long time!"
"You got me expelled from the sect. I'm going to kill you today!"
Seeing that Mu Ge actually dared to give him attitude, Yu Luoyang grew even angrier.
Shouldn't he have been the one getting angry?
If not for Mu Ge, he would not have fallen to such a state.
"Die!"
With that roar, Yu Luoyang charged straight at Mu Ge.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
As he rushed toward Mu Ge, Yu Luoyang summoned his martial soul and underwent Martial Soul Possession, strengthening himself.
In Slaughter City, soul skills could not be used, but martial souls could still be used.
Soul Masters with tool martial souls could summon them as weapons, while Soul Masters with beast martial souls could perform the most basic Martial Soul Possession.
Crackle, crackle, crackle—
In an instant, blue lightning coiled around Yu Luoyang's entire body as he charged at Mu Ge.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon truly deserved its reputation as a top-tier martial soul. Even a simple Martial Soul Possession granted strength comparable to certain soul skills.
Especially since his body carried lightning-attribute damage as well. Without using a soul skill, it was still as good as one.
"Seeking death!"
Facing Yu Luoyang's attack, Mu Ge snorted coldly.
Having long anticipated that Yu Luoyang would make a move, Mu Ge summoned his own martial soul the moment Yu Luoyang attacked.
Then, at once, Mu Ge switched the simulator into the Clear Sky Hammer.
He swung the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it toward Yu Luoyang.
He directly unleashed the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, of which he had already comprehended seven forms.
"Clear Sky Hammer? How could that be..."
The moment the domineering Clear Sky Hammer appeared, Yu Luoyang's expression changed drastically.
He suspected that he had seen wrong. How could Mu Ge possibly simulate a top-tier martial soul like the Clear Sky Hammer?
This was someone who had never even managed to simulate a high-quality martial soul!
"So what if it's the Clear Sky Hammer? A simulation is still only a simulation. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is the true top-tier martial soul!"
"Die!"
After his initial surprise, Yu Luoyang did not take Mu Ge's Clear Sky Hammer too seriously. He believed that Mu Ge's Clear Sky Hammer was merely a simulated copy—how could it compare to his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?
His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the true top-tier martial soul.
Bang—
Fist and hammer collided, unleashing a tremendous force mixed with strands of blue lightning.
In their first clash, Mu Ge's Clear Sky Hammer was slightly overpowered. The hammer in his hand was knocked aside, and Mu Ge himself was forced back a step.
"Haha, die!"
Seeing this, Yu Luoyang laughed loudly and immediately chased after Mu Ge, swinging his lightning-wreathed fist.
Mu Ge did not panic in the face of Yu Luoyang's pursuit. Instead, he calmly swung his second hammer.
Bang—
Fist and hammer collided once more.
This time, the Clear Sky Hammer in Mu Ge's hand was still knocked back, but Mu Ge himself was not pushed back with it.
"Die!"
Yu Luoyang failed to notice this. All he could think about now was killing Mu Ge and avenging himself, so he relentlessly continued throwing punches at him.
At this moment, a scarlet gleam flickered in Yu Luoyang's eyes.
Seeing this, Mu Ge sneered inwardly. He knew that Yu Luoyang's mind was extremely unstable right now. Many people in Slaughter City were like this, especially during battle. It was perfectly normal.
Mu Ge continued wielding the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand to meet the attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang—
After several more exchanges, the force behind Mu Ge's Clear Sky Hammer grew heavier and heavier. He had now suppressed Yu Luoyang, hammering him back again and again.
"No..."
"How could this be..."
Yu Luoyang found it hard to accept this change.
"This is impossible! My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is the strongest! Die!"
With scarlet eyes, Yu Luoyang seemed not to realize that he might no longer be a match for Mu Ge. He continued attacking Mu Ge madly.
"You're the one who'll die!"
Mu Ge snorted coldly. Facing Yu Luoyang, who had lost his composure, he retreated slightly to evade the attack. Rather than clash with him, Mu Ge seized the opportunity and viciously smashed the Clear Sky Hammer into Yu Luoyang's chest.
Bang—
Crack—
A thunderous impact was followed by the sound of a breastbone shattering.
"Pfft—"
Struck by Mu Ge's fatal blow, Yu Luoyang was sent flying backward, spraying out a huge mouthful of blood.
Bang—
Immediately afterward, Yu Luoyang crashed miserably onto the ground. His body twitched as blood continuously poured from his mouth.
Mu Ge slowly walked over to the heavily injured Yu Luoyang. Looking at the hatred and unwillingness in his eyes, he smiled faintly. "Among the martial souls of the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the only one I lacked. Thank you for delivering it right to me."
As Mu Ge spoke, he switched the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand back into the simulator and activated its devouring ability.
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had expelled him, Mu Ge still felt grateful toward them deep down. They had raised him, so he had never considered devouring the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirits of the clan's disciples. But Yu Luoyang was different. He had tried to kill Mu Ge, so Mu Ge felt no psychological burden whatsoever in acting against him.
Hum—
The simulator floated over Yu Luoyang's chest, then erupted with a suction force that continuously devoured Yu Luoyang's martial soul.
"You... you..."
Seeing this while coughing up blood, Yu Luoyang's eyes widened in utter disbelief.
He had not expected Mu Ge's martial soul to be capable of devouring his martial soul.
Then Yu Luoyang's pupils trembled again. He seemed to understand something, realizing why Mu Ge had been able to successfully simulate a top-tier martial soul like the Clear Sky Hammer.
It had to be related to Mu Ge's devouring ability.
"Don't... don't even think..."
Yu Luoyang struggled unwillingly, refusing to let Mu Ge devour his martial soul.
Because of Yu Luoyang's struggle, Mu Ge's simulator immediately stopped. After all, Yu Luoyang was still alive, and his martial soul remained under his control. Devouring it directly was far too difficult.
"Just as I thought, it's easier to devour once they're dead!"
Pfft—
Muttering this, Mu Ge instantly switched the simulator into a dagger, gripped it in his hand, and slit Yu Luoyang's throat in one smooth motion.
"Urgh—"
Yu Luoyang's eyes widened. In the end, he could only stare with unwilling eyes as his consciousness faded away.
Mu Ge no longer held back. He switched his martial soul back once more and swiftly devoured Yu Luoyang's martial soul.
It might have been easier to devour it after death, but he still had to hurry. Otherwise, the martial soul and Soul Power within the other person's body would quickly dissipate.
Especially in a place like Slaughter City, where they would be broken down even faster by Slaughter City itself.
Sure enough, before long, Yu Luoyang's corpse gradually disintegrated and scattered with the wind.
The corpse was broken down, but its energy was absorbed by Slaughter City.
Fortunately, Mu Ge had successfully devoured Yu Luoyang's martial soul by then.
"Simulator, begin martial soul simulation immediately. Simulate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
