Desperate Counterkill

Desperate Counterkill

As he spoke, Ye Han released his martial soul, and a green gourd appeared in his right hand.

When the people on either side saw the green gourd, much of their wariness eased.

Because a gourd was neither an attack-type nor control-type martial soul, Ye Han had not lied to them.

"First Soul Skill—Soul Wine!"

Swish, swish.

Two purple gourds were instantly created.

"My first soul skill can instantly restore half of a person's Soul Power at their peak condition!"

The moment they heard this, all three people's eyes lit up.

This was absolutely a powerful support soul skill.

But unfortunately, there were already three of them, and all three spots were filled. Killing intent surfaced in their eyes!

Since someone like him could not become one of their own, they could only kill him.

How could Ye Han have failed to notice? Yet he did not show it.

Instead, he pretended to be greatly exhausted, his entire body looking somewhat listless.

At the same time, he said, "Wait a moment. Let me recover some Soul Power, then I'll make two more. That way, no matter what happens outside, we'll remain unbeatable."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the three of them hid their killing intent again.

They only needed to wait for the battle outside to end before going out to clean up the aftermath. But if each of them had a gourd that could restore Soul Power, it would make things even more foolproof.

Ye Han sneered inwardly. They're just three little brats. You think you can fool me?

Then I would've lived my twenty-plus years in my previous life for nothing.

At that moment, he tossed the two purple gourds he had already created toward either side.

This move greatly exceeded the three men's expectations.

The people on either side instinctively reached out to catch them.

The person behind him was also distracted by the two gourds.

Ye Han, who had been pretending to be exhausted and feeble, suddenly sprang up and spun around. The dagger he had long held in his left hand stabbed without hesitation toward the person behind him.

"Pfft!"

With one strike, the dagger sank hilt-deep into the man's chest.

"Y-"

He only managed to utter one word before drawing his last breath. His eyes were wide open, clearly unwilling to die!

But Ye Han had neither the energy nor time to care about that. He grabbed the man and twisted around.

In an instant, the thoroughly dead man became Ye Han's human shield.

"You're courting death!"

At this point, the other two had also reacted!

They glared at Ye Han and released their martial souls at the same time.

They clearly intended to kill Ye Han in one go.

Unexpectedly, Ye Han immediately shouted in a low voice, "Stop!"

"If you want the people outside to discover us, then release your soul rings and use your soul skills!"

The two men's expressions changed repeatedly. They had hidden here precisely to let the mantis stalk the cicada while the oriole waited behind.

They were after the final victory.

If they exposed themselves now, how would the two sides fighting outside react?

There was a very good chance they would join forces to eliminate them first. After all, whether mantis or cicada, neither would like an oriole appearing.

But they were deeply unwilling to let Ye Han deceive them like this, and they glared furiously at him.

They struggled inwardly over whether to kill Ye Han now or not.

Whew.

Seeing that the two had not attacked immediately, Ye Han relaxed halfway.

Smiling, he continued to fool them. "There's actually no need for this. Our goals are the same: to become one of the three people who survive."

"There were three people here before, and there are still three people now! You can still be the ones who have the last laugh."

"As for who you have that last laugh with, that isn't so important, is it?"

The two men froze for a moment, then fell silent.

Just as Ye Han said, having the last laugh was what mattered most. Everything else truly was not that important.

As for the man Ye Han had killed, they did not really care. After all, they had not known one another before.

They had joined together only to form a full Soul Master team of three, so they would have a better chance of having the last laugh.

Now that someone else would be laughing last with them, there was actually no problem with that.

Their earlier killing intent had only come from their anger at being deceived by Ye Han.

Seeing their reactions, Ye Han's heart settled completely.

He continued to persuade them. "And think about it. Why were there three spots? It's likely because after we survive, we'll become a team and carry out some kind of mission. And in a team, how great would the benefits be of having a powerful Food-type Support Soul Master like me? I don't need to spell it out."

The two men were completely persuaded by Ye Han. Their tense bodies relaxed slightly as well.

Ye Han said, "That's more like it! Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Ye Han! My martial soul is the Wine Gourd! Level 13 Support Battle Soul Master!"

The two exchanged a glance. After a long silence, they introduced themselves in turn, clearly accepting Ye Han's proposal.

The person at the front right spoke first. "Zhang Zhong, martial soul Qi Mei Staff! Level 12 Assault Battle Soul Master!"

The other person at the front left said, "Kong Qi, martial soul Green Vine, Level 13 Control Battle Soul Master!"

To show his sincerity, Ye Han lowered the human shield in front of him.

Then he smiled faintly and said warmly, "From now on, we're teammates who will have the last laugh together!"

Zhang Zhong and Kong Qi nodded in unison. "Alright!"

"Pfft."

A laugh rang out, instantly breaking the atmosphere between the three.

Kong Qi shouted, "Who's there?"

The next moment, he discovered in horror that the newcomer was Zi Xia, who should have been fighting up ahead.

Zi Xia's clothes were already torn, and a wound on her arm was still bleeding continuously.

Yet Kong Qi stood there, not daring to move at all.

Because Zhang Zhong, whose strength was almost equal to his, had already been tied up like a giant rice dumpling.

Ye Han wore an expression of shock and delight. "You took care of those two guys so quickly?"

Zi Xia said disdainfully, "They were just trash! Is killing them really that difficult?"

Then she stared at Ye Han and continued, "But I never expected that you'd kill one person here and talk the remaining two into submission. You've truly made me see you in a new light!"

As she spoke, her jade-like little hand tugged, and Zhang Zhong was sliced alive into pieces.

Zi Xia stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. Looking at Ye Han playfully, she smiled. "Hehe, now I'm joining those who will have the last laugh too!"

Ye Han thought, Fuck, this little girl is flirting with me. Just wait. One day, I'll make you understand how formidable I am.

"Ah!"

At that moment, a scream rang out. Naturally, it did not come from the already sliced-up Zhang Zhong, but from Kong Qi.

His legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.

He had killed quite a few people in the forest and had naturally seen plenty of ways to die.
