Soul Bone Snatching, a Father's Debts Paid by His Son

Tang Wulin... Seeing the scales covering the other man's right hand and the golden blades extending from it, Shiyu could basically confirm his identity.

His attention was soon drawn to the Spirit Beast facing Tang Wulin and the others—a Dark Gold Bear.

It's most likely a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, Shiyu thought. The bear was much taller and sturdier than Tang Wulin, like the difference between an adult and a seven- or eight-year-old child.

Its dark golden fur was anything but soft; instead, it had a metallic texture. Anyone unaware of the truth might have thought it was clad in Dark Gold Armor.

Each of its forepaws had five long, razor-sharp blades that gleamed with chilling light. Even from afar, their deadly sealing power could be felt.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was incredibly domineering. Even against Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and two other Spirit Masters, it maintained the upper hand, looking ready to finish them all off.

This is what they call Karma. Twenty Thousand Years Ago, Tang San tried to snatch the Man Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone from me. If I hadn't been lucky, I'd have died already.

Yet in the era of Legend of the Dragon King, I've encountered his son obtaining a Soul Bone.

If I don't take it from him, how could I possibly be worthy of what he did to me back then? Shiyu thought.

Having made up his mind, he would quietly play the fisherman and wait for them to kill the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

After all, this was not the absorption of a Soul Ring. It was not as though the Soul Bone belonged exclusively to whoever killed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

He felt no burden at all about robbing Tang Wulin. His father had nearly gotten him killed, so would he not be a complete idiot if he still tried to talk morality with his son?

Shiyu watched quietly, doing his best to lower his presence while preparing to move at any moment and seize the Soul Bone.

The battle over there had already reached its most intense stage. The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear exerted tremendous pressure, forcing Tang Wulin to take a risk.

His attempt was quite successful. He struck the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's weak point and dealt it a fatal blow with the overwhelming power of the Golden Dragon Claw on his right hand.

"Pant... pant..." Tang Wulin collapsed onto the ground, gasping heavily. He was utterly exhausted, but also felt the relief of having survived disaster.

Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie were also exhausted. They had won this battle with great difficulty and no small amount of luck.

"What's that?" Xu Xiaoyan was the first to cry out, pointing toward where the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had died.

The others all looked over. When Spirit Beasts died here, they normally just turned into energy and entered the body of the one who killed them. What other situation could there be?

They had not paid it much attention at first, but when they looked now, they noticed something strange.

The dead Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had not transformed into pure energy and entered Tang Wulin's body.

Instead, it left behind a claw, which hovered for a moment before falling to the ground.

Tang Wulin was closest to the claw and was about to rise and pick it up.

Just as he bent down far enough to grab it, a hand swept out and snatched up the claw first.

Tang Wulin was startled and hurriedly retreated several steps, afraid that the other party might suddenly attack him.

Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie were all shocked as well. How had this person suddenly appeared?

"Who are you? Why are you stealing our things?" Xu Xiaoyan demanded angrily.

Gu Yue frowned. The other party had appeared suddenly by using Space Means, yet she had failed to sense it in advance. Those Space abilities were far too powerful.

With that thought, her eyes became more solemn, though they held even more hostility. This man had clearly come to steal something.

Elemental attacks appeared one after another, while she simultaneously used Space Means to seal the area, making it harder for him to escape through Space Means.

The group worked together seamlessly and quickly surrounded Shiyu, who had appeared there, staring at him with unfriendly expressions.

"This belongs to the Spirit Pagoda. It doesn't belong to you," Shiyu said with a light laugh as he tossed the Soul Bone in his hand.

Naturally, he was delighted. He had obtained the Soul Bone so easily.

"We killed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear and obtained this as our spoils. If it doesn't belong to us, does it belong to you instead?" Tang Wulin asked in a low voice.

"Put it down now, and we can still let you leave alive," Gu Yue warned.

Shiyu glanced at Gu Yue, then looked at Tang Wulin. "It may not necessarily belong to me either, but it is in my hands now. Naturally, I won't casually put it down and hand it over to you."

"If you want to take it back, then let strength do the talking." As soon as he finished speaking, he struck first, sending a heavy palm strike toward Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin had already been on guard. Seeing the other party strike from afar, he instinctively raised his Golden Dragon Claw before him. It was currently the power he trusted most.

Spatial Power condensed into a massive energy hand and slammed into Tang Wulin. Even though he had been prepared, he was sent flying. The impact was astonishingly powerful.

"Wulin!" Gu Yue panicked, and killing intent entered her gaze as she looked at Shiyu. Several elemental attacks followed in rapid succession, their assault extremely fierce.

Xu Xiaoyan once again used her control skill, sending Ice Chains winding toward Shiyu to bind him.

Xie Xie moved with great speed, holding the Light Dragon Blade as he transformed into an assassin intent on delivering Shiyu a fatal blow.

Faced with the numerous attacks, Shiyu vanished from where he stood, causing them to lose their target.

"How is that possible?" Even Gu Yue revealed a shocked expression. Before attacking, she had done everything she could to interfere with his Space Movement. Why had it been ineffective?

Moreover, there had been no sign at all before his Teleportation. This was not the effect of a soul skill, but more like an innate ability of his Martial Soul.

One of the innate abilities of his Martial Soul was actually Teleportation?

Gu Yue was shocked. Even her own Martial Soul did not possess such an ability.

She could teleport, but she absolutely could not do so casually. She needed preparation. That was an entirely different concept from the ability he had just displayed.

Xu Xiaoyan's Ice Chains missed and wrapped around empty air.

Xie Xie stopped and looked around, trying hard to find Shiyu.

Tang Wulin had only just gotten to his feet when he sensed danger. He attacked forward completely on instinct.

The Golden Dragon Claw on his right hand carried destructive power, ready to destroy whoever might appear in front of him.

"I tricked you," Shiyu's voice sounded from behind Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin's pupils contracted. The only thing before him was rippling energy. It seemed to be a false image of an attack fabricated by the other party.

Tang Wulin was about to kick off and charge forward, but before he could exert any force, he felt stabbing pain erupt from his back—and it was not just once.

At some point, eight spider legs had appeared on Shiyu's back. As he spoke, the Eight Spider Lances viciously stabbed toward Tang Wulin's back, giving him no time to react or evade.

Tang Wulin's body was extraordinary, and his physique was powerful, but even he could not block the sharp attack of the Eight Spider Lances. All Eight Spider Legs pierced his body to varying depths.

The shallowest penetrated only half a finger's length, while the deepest went halfway through his body.

"Ahhh!" Tang Wulin screamed in agony. Pain here was quite realistic; getting hurt would hurt.

Although the pain had already been greatly reduced, the agony of being pierced through was still difficult to endure.

"Wulin!" Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan's expressions changed drastically.

The three of them had reacted somewhat too slowly, mainly because Shiyu was so elusive. He did not reappear immediately after teleporting, making their responses seem sluggish.
