A Soul Emperor's Sneak Attack

At that moment, the floor above was blasted apart!

Two long spears descended from the sky!

Their targets were Yang Changsheng and Yang Bubai.

The two of them had arrived a step after Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou.

However, seeing that Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou had successfully drawn all of their opponents' attention—

—and that Zhang Yu'er was in their hands—

—they had circled upstairs to the corresponding spot. Pressing close to the floor, they listened carefully and confirmed everyone's positions before launching this unexpected attack.

At this moment, E Kao and Tian Ya were still thinking about how to avoid being hurt by the poison net on the ground!

How could they have expected an attack from directly overhead?

They all turned back in terror.

What greeted them were sharp spearheads.

"Bastard!"

Tian Ya once again tried to use Zhang Yu'er as a shield. Unfortunately, just as he lifted Zhang Yu'er

Taishi Ming, who had been watching him from the doorway, once again unleashed his Soul Bone SkillSword Thrust!

His entire body shot forward!

He thrust one hand at Tian Ya.

Tian Ya panicked!

Twisting his body, he tried to evade both Taishi Ming and the two attacks from above at once.

But this was exactly the result Taishi Ming wanted!

As he brushed past Tian Ya, his sword had already pierced into the opposite wall. He stood atop it, while Zhang Yu'er had already been snatched away by him.

But E Kao and Tian Ya were in trouble.

Faced with this sudden attack, they had only one choice: smash through the walls and escape.

BOOM!

Two walls were directly smashed open with huge holes.

"Retract!"

The moment Yang Changsheng and Yang Bubai landed, Dai Zhirou recalled the poison net from the ground.

Yang Changsheng's soul rings were two yellow, two purple, and one black, while Yang Bubai's were two yellow.

Almost simultaneously, their First Soul Rings lit up. "First Soul Ring SkillSpear Strike!!"

The martial souls in their hands shot straight through the holes in the walls as though they had eyes.

They curved around and separately pursued E Kao and Tian Ya.

Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming both revealed looks of surprise. This father and son's first soul skills were actually identical.

And both were tracking-type soul skills.

Impressive!

E Kao and Tian Ya, however, were miserable. Their feet had been corroded, and every step caused excruciating pain. On top of that, they had already been poisoned, and their entire feet had begun to swell.

They simply could not run fast!

E Kao's Second Soul Ring lit up once more. His entire body was enveloped in black mist, after which he vanished from the spot.

He successfully dodged the attack.

But Tian Ya was miserable.

Not only could he not escape, but the one attacking him was Yang Changsheng, who possessed five soul rings.

He could only choose to meet it head-on.

His Fourth Soul Ring lit up. "Fourth Soul Ring SkillBlade Curtain!"

The dagger in his hand released a vast curtain of gleaming white blades.

Clang!

Yang Changsheng's spear martial soul slammed fiercely into the Blade Curtain.

For a moment, offense and defense were locked in a stalemate.

Inside the room, Taishi Ming handed Zhang Yu'er over to Yang Bubai.

Then, he and Dai Zhirou went out through the hole on the other side to search for E Kao's whereabouts.

Yang Changsheng also walked out. Looking at Tian Ya, he gave a cold smile and raised his hand.

The spear returned to his hand. At the same time, his fifth soul ring lit up. "Fifth Soul Ring Skill—Break!"

He shot forward in an explosive burst, the Soul Breaking Spear in his hand gleaming with an incomparably sharp aura.

Straight at Tian Ya!

Tian Ya's face went completely dark at the sight. At this moment, he had no other choice. He could only maintain this soul skill, because it was his strongest defensive soul skill.

Unfortunately, he had greatly underestimated the Soul Breaking Spear, and he had also underestimated the power of Yang Changsheng's ten-thousand-year soul skill.

The instant they collided, his curtain of blades was torn apart. The spear continued onward without losing momentum, stabbing toward Tian Ya's chest!

Whoosh!

Before Tian Ya's terrified and despairing eyes, the spear pierced straight through his body.

Pfft!

Tian Ya spat out a mouthful of blood, then slowly closed his eyes. One of the Three Scoundrels of Douluo, Tian Ya, had lost his life.

Meanwhile, on the other side!

Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou had already spotted E Kao on the rooftop.

With a leap, they gave chase.

E Kao's expression was as dark as water. Injured as he was, he knew he was absolutely no match for the two before him.

Running was his only option.

He turned and fled!

But the moment he took a step, the pain in the soles of his feet made him tremble violently!

Unable to do anything else, he could only use his soul skill to flee again. His second soul ring lit up, and the black mist carried him away once more.

However, Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou both understood that E Kao's soul skill had a range limit. Otherwise, he would have vanished without a trace long ago.

Sure enough, they spotted E Kao twenty meters away.

Dai Zhirou's fifth soul ring lit up. "Fifth Soul Skill: Parasitic Web!"

This was an area-of-effect skill. Ten spiderwebs shot out in an instant, targeting E Kao twenty meters away.

Looking at the ten webs falling from the sky, E Kao saw that they had nearly sealed off every route of escape.

He could not help but curse, "Damn it!"

At the same time, his fourth soul ring lit up. "Fourth Soul Ring SkillDark Demon Feather!"

The feathers on his massive fat goose body instantly shot into the air like a rain of arrows.

Under this counterattack, the spiderwebs were shattered one after another, scattering from the sky.

Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming both sneered. After all, the webs had never been the focus of this move.

The true danger was the tiny, nearly imperceptible spiders on the webs. Once the webs shattered, they scattered like dust.

And E Kao, directly beneath them, was engulfed by those spiders.

Everything returned to calm.

E Kao turned into black mist and fled once more, but this time, Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou had no intention of pursuing him.

Because anyone struck by Dai Zhirou's fifth soul skill was doomed to die.

Sure enough, when E Kao reappeared twenty meters away, lumps began to form across his body.

E Kao's face was filled with terror. He had no idea what was happening.

Even more terrifyingly, the lumps kept growing larger and began to squirm, the pain sending his entire body into spasms.

He collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

His eyes held nothing but pain and despair.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Spiders burst out through his body, leaving E Kao riddled with holes!

The spiders that emerged from his body then exploded, turning into patches of green venom that covered E Kao from head to toe.

"Aah!"

Amid his agonized screams, E Kao was melted into a pool of poisonous water by the green venom. Not even a corpse remained.

Thus, among the Three Scoundrels of Douluo, Bu Le was crippled, while E Kao and Tian Ya were dead.

However, at that moment, no one noticed the two people hidden in the shadows, watching Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou on the rooftop.

One old, one young!

The old one was composed, while the younger one was gloomy!

The elder asked in a low voice, "Is it them?"

The younger man replied, "Yes!"

The elder said, "Good! Heh, a mere Soul King dares to lay hands on our Ling Family? What a fool who doesn't know his place!"

As he spoke, he leaped up and landed behind Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou.

Yet neither of them noticed him at all!
