Gored to Death by a Headbutt 1

Gored to Death by a Headbutt 1

This man was Ling Manor's chief steward, and the one who had come with him was naturally Skinny Monkey, Ling Qiqi.

It had to be said, the chief steward truly had the instincts of an assassin.

Without even asking a question, he attacked directly.

With a raise of his hand, his martial soul, the Overlord Blade, appeared in his grasp!

Then he leapt into the air and slashed toward Dai Zhirou.

"Watch out!"

Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming had not noticed, but Yang Changsheng downstairs had spotted it and immediately shouted a warning.

But it was already too late. The chief steward was now right behind Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming.

There was simply no chance to dodge or counterattack!

Dai Zhirou's expression changed drastically!

Taishi Ming, however, did not hesitate. He reached out and shoved Dai Zhirou beside him away.

No matter who the attacker was.

His target had to be Dai Zhirou, a Soul King, rather than an eight- or nine-year-old boy like him.

Because any normal person would make that choice.

Swish!

The instant Dai Zhirou was pushed aside, a flash of cold light swept past.

Splat!

A spray of blood burst from Dai Zhirou's arm.

At last, the chief steward's figure appeared before Taishi Ming's eyes.

The chief steward was somewhat enraged. He should have succeeded in a single strike, yet some brat had ruined it.

So he looked toward Taishi Ming and said coldly, "Since you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish first!"

As he spoke, the blade in his hand immediately changed direction and slashed toward Taishi Ming!

Sword Thrust!

Taishi Ming chose to meet it head-on!

There was no other way. The opponent was too fast, so he could only use this soul skill with its invincibility effect to save himself.

The Seven Sha Sword and the Overlord Blade crashed fiercely together.

Their strength was on completely different levels, and Taishi Ming was sent flying at once.

Taishi Ming flipped through the air and landed more than ten meters away!

However, thanks to the invincibility effect, he was not hurt in the slightest.

The chief steward was deeply astonished. Although he had not released his martial soul or used a soul skill, this was still not something an eight- or nine-year-old child could withstand—much less emerge from completely unscathed!

Something was wrong!

That brat had only released his martial soul just now, but not his soul rings.

Then how had he activated that soul skill?

A soul bone!

That was something every soul master dreamed of obtaining.

The chief steward's eyes immediately lit up, and greed appeared on his face.

The next second, two Hundred-Year Soul Rings rose from Taishi Ming's body. "In heaven and earth, there is a gourd named life—Wine of Life!"

A green gourd materialized in his hand, and he threw it toward Dai Zhirou.

"A gourd??? An auxiliary-type soul master?"

But hadn't it clearly been a sword just now?

The chief steward's mind was in complete chaos, but there was one thing he understood perfectly.

No matter what, he could not let that gourd fall into Dai Zhirou's hands.

However, the distance was too great. He could only destroy the gourd by using a soul skill.

One white, two yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring rose from his body.

The third soul ring immediately lit up. "Third Soul Ring Skill, Overlord Slash!"

The chief steward aimed at the gourd and swung fiercely. A powerful slash shot toward it at high speed!

Crack!

The gourd was directly shattered into tiny fragments.

However, the injured Dai Zhirou had already fully recovered.

One had to know that the two kinds of wine Taishi Ming made could both be stored for three days.

He had long since gotten into the habit of making some and keeping them on himself and Dai Zhirou.

Earlier, when Taishi Ming created Wine of Life and threw it to Dai Zhirou, it had merely been a feint.

The purpose was to buy Dai Zhirou time to take out the Wine of Life she carried and drink it.

However, Dai Zhirou had drunk not only Wine of Life, but also Soul Wine, recovering all the Soul Power she had expended in her previous battle against Tian Ya and E Kao.

The chief steward had an abundance of combat experience. He instantly understood everything, and his expression immediately darkened.

"Good boy, I never thought that one day, an old man like me would be led around by the nose by a brat of eight or nine!"

"But before absolute strength, no matter how you struggle, it will be useless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his sixth soul ring lit up. "Sixth Soul Ring Skill, Ten Thousand Blades Descend!"

Countless blades appeared behind the chief steward. Under his control, they shot toward Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming in a dense, rain-like barrage.

Dai Zhirou's fourth soul ring lit up. "Fourth Soul Skill—Thousand Blade Slash!"

It had to be said that this soul skill of hers was truly suited for both offense and defense. When attacking, it left opponents unable to guard against it; when defending, it was watertight.

Every blade flying toward her was knocked down one by one.

Taishi Ming, meanwhile, was far more cunning. With a single swing of his sword, he shattered the roof and dropped into the inn below.

He easily avoided every blade.

At the same time, he took out a gourd of Soul Wine from his robes and drank it.

After all, he had already used Sword Thrust three times, and his Soul Power was nearly depleted.

After drinking it, he felt that only thirty percent of his Soul Power had recovered, and he could not help but sigh.

Sure enough, the effect was much weaker when he drank it himself!

Left with no choice, he took out another gourd of Soul Wine and drank it, restoring his Soul Power to roughly sixty or seventy percent of its original level.

After that, he leaped back out.

By then, the chief steward's attack had already ended.

Dai Zhirou was panting. Though she had blocked that wave of attacks, the expenditure had clearly been considerable.

However, she took out another gourd.

The chief steward's face was so dark it could not have gotten any darker. He had never imagined that, as a Soul Emperor, dealing with one Soul King and one Soul Grandmaster would be this difficult!

And if this continued, it would never end.

His gaze fell on Taishi Ming as he said coldly, "Looks like I can only deal with you first!"

That was right. Once he dealt with the food-type support Soul Master, everything he had created would disappear. Then it would not matter how many gourds Dai Zhirou had hidden on her.

Whoosh!

The chief steward turned into a blur and lunged straight at Taishi Ming. The blade in his hand had already swung out, poised to cleave Taishi Ming in two with a single strike.

But just then, Yang Changsheng's voice rang out from above.

"Are you treating me like air?"

His fifth soul ring had already lit up. "Fifth Soul Ring Skill—Break!"

The chief steward's expression changed drastically. He recognized that voice—it was the person who had called out a warning when he launched his sneak attack earlier.

He also knew this person was a Soul King, so he had been keeping watch for him. Yet he had not noticed him coming onto the roof at all!

How had he gotten up there?

But he had no time to dwell on that, because the moment he looked up, Yang Changsheng's spear blade was already right before his eyes.

He immediately raised his Overlord Blade to block!

Clang!

Though he was a Soul Emperor, taking a Soul King's strongest attack head-on without using a soul skill was not pleasant.

Not only was his attack on Taishi Ming interrupted, but he was also driven back seven or eight steps.
