Make a Move, Hao Te Poisoned

Oscar didn't expose the other party's ulterior motives; otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately put on that show earlier.

Oscar glanced at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, then took out a small porcelain bottle to collect some Extreme Cold Ice Marrow, and then used his Sixth Spirit Ability to leave the ice cave.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stared blankly as Oscar left, then its long, plump body churned on the Ice Soul Cold Jade Bed, its face filled with excitement and disbelief.

It never imagined that what it thought was a big problem would turn out to be a wonderful destiny for Brother Sky Dream!

"The Soul Spirit Method! The God Creation Plan!!!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm muttered to himself, "Isn't this my chosen one?!"

Oscar left the ice cave, took another Swift as Wind Rain Swallow Sausage, and transformed into a white streak of light, rushing out from the deepest part of the Ice Valley.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was indeed an unexpected surprise, but he still had some things to take care of. Lie Shuo and the others probably hadn't noticed that he was missing yet. On the other side, Lie Shuo and the others, who were far behind the Ice Wolf Pack, suddenly changed their expressions because they discovered that the Ice Wolf Pack had actually begun to return in full force.

It turned out that the pack of ice wolves had found the Ice Wolf King, and after failing to find any trace of Oscar, they chose to return immediately.

The Ice Wolf King wasn't stupid. Since this human had gone to such lengths to lure them out, he might be after the ore containing the power of Extreme Cold Ice Marrow! As the seventeen ice wolves rushed back at full speed, Lie Shuo and the others dug a hole in the snow and buried themselves in it. Han Han even used his Soul Skill to Ice Seal themselves to prevent the ice wolves from discovering their secret.

With the strength of this pack of ice wolves, killing the six of them would be a piece of cake! Only after the Ice Wolf Pack was out of sight did Han Han and the others climb out of the snow pit.

Han Han watched the Ice Wolf Pack's retreating figures and couldn't help but say, "So Ao Rong was just killed like that? But the Ice Wolf King was also seriously injured. Even if it didn't die, it probably paid a heavy price!"

The others nodded in agreement, Lie Shuo went even further, saying, "Search for Ao Rong with all our might; this might be our best chance to kill him!"

Lie Shuo finished speaking, the six of them followed the tracks of the returning Ice Wolf Pack and chased after them with all their might.

In their view, Oscar shouldn't die so easily, because Oscar can fly, and his flying speed is incredibly terrifying. If he really wanted to escape at all costs, with his Soul Saint level strength, he might not be unable to get away.

The reason they made this guess was mainly because there was no evidence that the Ice Wolf Pack had ever eaten humans.

Therefore, they guessed that Oscar was most likely seriously injured and was probably in his worst condition at this moment. Once they found him, it would be their best chance to kill Oscar and seize the Spirit Bone.

Everyone was giving it their all, and after chasing for a quarter of an hour, they finally found Oscar's trail on a plain.

However, Oscar wasn't the only one there; Hao Te was also present, supporting Oscar as they hurried towards a cave not far away. Oscar was covered in blood, his clothes were soaked with blood, and he was weak and listless, lying on Hao Te's back, barely alive.

Seeing this, Lie Shuo and the others' eyes gleamed; they had made the right bet. Although they didn't know why Ao Rong, that fool, was so arrogant as to dare to venture into the Ice Wolf Pack alone, now that the opponent was seriously injured, it was the perfect opportunity for them to kill him and seize his treasure.

When Lie Shuo and the others appeared, Hao Te also noticed someone approaching. When he turned around, he saw the team he had spent several months with rushing towards him.

Although Hao Te was honest and simple, at this moment, how could he not understand what his teammates were thinking? If they hadn't been plotting to kill and steal the treasure, how could the scattered group have gathered here and appeared together so coincidentally? Hao Te knew that at this moment, he could only try to avoid the worst-case scenario. He carefully put down the seriously injured Oscar, then turned around and stared coldly at the six people rushing towards him.

The six men quickly approached, Hao Te said in a deep voice, "Lie Shuo, how dare you! Do you think I'm just ignoring you?"

Lie Shuo a cold smile, "Hao Te, you think you're the boss just because I call you 'Big Brother'? I'll give you one last chance. Hand over Ao Rong to us, or don't blame us for not showing any mercy!"

Han Han stared at Hao Te with equally icy eyes. "Although you are Soul Saint, your chances of winning in a six-on-one situation are less than 30%! Are you willing to pay the price with your life for this stranger?"

Hearing their words, Hao Te knew there was no way to negotiate with them anymore. Just then, Oscar, whose aura was weak, forced himself to speak and said, "Why are you all so desperate? Isn't it all for this Spirit Bone? I can give you the Spirit Bone, and I can even tell you a secret that can improve your cultivation, but you have to promise to let me go!"

Upon hearing Oscar's words, Hao Te said, "Brother Oscar, you don't need to be like this. Hao Te would rather die than let them lay a finger on you! Although there are six of them, how can a few Spirit King and Soul Ancestor Sects bridge the gap between Soul Saint and Soul Emperor?"

Even at this critical moment, Hao Te was still willing to protect Oscar, which truly impressed Oscar, as Haote's loyalty and bravery were rarely seen by ordinary people.

How many people could do what Hao Te did? Especially under such circumstances? Lie Shuo chuckled and said, "Even if we kill you, the stuff will still be ours. But tell us your secret. If it's really valuable enough, we might consider sparing your life."

Oscar scoffed. "If I tell you the secret, will you still let me go?"

Han Han sneered, "If you don't talk, you'll die right now! It's true that Hao Te is a Soul Saint, but how confident do you think you are in protecting you, who is now seriously injured, in the midst of the chaos?"

Upon hearing this, Oscar's blood-covered face was filled with anger and resentment. "If I told you, would you really spare my life?"

Lie Shuo said, "As long as your secret is valuable enough, I will naturally keep my word!"

Oscar looked at the other person's lips and knew in his heart that the other person would not let him go; they just wanted to get the secret he was talking about out of him.

Oscar continued, "Then Spirit Oath!"

Lie Shuo smiled and said, "Fine, I Spirit Oath that I will spare your life as long as your secret is valuable enough."

Seeing this, Oscar said slowly with an indignant look on his face, "The reason I was seriously injured was because I forced my way into an Ice Wolf Pack. You must be well aware that you have been secretly following me."

Lie Shuo nodded. "Go on."

Oscar said, "The reason I forced my way into the Ice Wolf Pack's territory is because I discovered the Extreme Cold Ice Marrow!"

Oscar then took out a porcelain bottle and tossed it over. "This Extreme Cold Ice Marrow is a priceless treasure, greatly beneficial to Soul Master' cultivation, and it's found in the Ice Valley where that Ice Wolf Pack lives! And there's quite a lot of it!"

"So? This secret can save my life, right?"

Han Han raised his hand and used the porcelain bottle to open it. An extremely pure chill emanated from it. The next moment, Han Han excitedly put the porcelain bottle into his Soul Tool.

He then excitedly told the others, "It is indeed the Extreme Cold Ice Marrow. I saw it in Ancient Tome before. This thing is indeed very beneficial to the cultivation of Soul Master. With this thing, we can at least break through to the Soul Saint realm in the future, and even Ice Attribute Soul Master can take it a step further!"

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but smile. It was indeed a good secret, and they now knew why Oscar had been injured.

However, it is indeed unwise to force their way into the Ice Wolf Pack for such a treasure. They could have planned ahead more carefully instead of being so reckless. It doesn't matter, they will enjoy these discoveries for Oscar.

The next moment, Lie Shuo and the others released their Martial Soul and launched an attack on Hao Te without any further words.

One after another, Soul Ring rose from the bodies of the group, and each of them used their strongest Spirit Abilities to attack Hao Te.

The Support Spirit Master maxed out his support abilities for his teammates, completely disregarding the consumption of Soul Power! The reason for this was to eliminate Hao Te as quickly as possible. Although Ao Rong was seriously injured, Hao Te was a Soul Saint in excellent condition. Although it was six against one, the opponent already possessed Martial Soul Avatar. If they couldn't kill him in one blow, then it would be their bad luck.

Seeing this, Oscar hysterically shouted, "You dare to go back on your word? Aren't you afraid of dying from a shattered Martial Soul?"

Lie Shuo snorted coldly, "Did I go back on my word? I said I wouldn't kill you, but no one else said that!"

Hao Te stared coldly at his teammates who had previously shared life and death experiences. Seven Soul Ring rose from his body, two yellow, three purple, and two black. His Seventh Spirit Ring lit up directly.

"If you don't repent, don't blame me for being heartless!" Hao Te shouted, "Seventh Spirit Ability: Martial Soul Avatar!"

As his Seventh Spirit Ring lit up, Hao Te swelled in size, transforming into a white bear over eight meters long. The terrifying attacks from Lie Shuo and the others were directly broken through by the giant white bear, and everyone was sent flying backward.

But they quickly regained their footing, Lie Shuo said coldly, "Black Crow, let's hold him off from the front, and you take the opportunity to inject the Blue Scorpion's venom into his body!"

Black Crow Soul King nodded, and after his Soul Ring shone brightly, he transformed into a black raven and disappeared. The others maxed out their amplification skills and charged straight at Hao Te.

The Soul Saint and the Soul Emperor are a huge dividing line, but as long as the Blue Scorpion's poison enters the body, even if Hao Te extraordinary abilities, he will definitely become a cripple within an hour.

Hao Te was truly enraged. He had thought that Lie Shuo and the others were of questionable character, but he never imagined they could be so vicious. Sometimes Hao Te wondered if his personality was truly suitable for him. However, the education he received from childhood had always made him stick to his principles, but after so many years, his heart had begun to waver.

Enraged, Hao Te roared, "You all shall die! Fifth Spirit Ability: Giant Spirit Palm!"

With the appearance of the Fifth Spirit Ring, the white giant bear stretched out its giant paw and lashed out at Lie Shuo and the others, unleashing a terrifying aura.

Lie Shuo and the others each used their strongest Soul Skill. In an instant, Lie Yan blazed across the sky, ice filled the air, and the howls of wolves echoed through the heavens! At this moment, Oscar lay calmly on the ground watching this scene. His pupils, which had turned blood red from rage, became completely calm, and he did not seem to have lost his previous aura.

Oscar was a little confused. How could Hao Te be so righteous under such circumstances? In this world where strength reigns supreme and the strong prey on the weak, do such people really exist?

If it were me, would I choose to defect, flee to save my life, or fight to the death like Hao Te?

Oscar suddenly smiled. Wasn't this exactly what he longed for most? The world is unfair, but people's hearts are different; there are some who are unconventional and unique.

Now Oscar is fortunate enough to have met one; it's hard to say whether it's his good fortune or Hao Te's.

With the support of his Martial Soul Avatar, Hao Te single-handedly overwhelmed Lie Shuo's six-man team. Although Lie Shuo's fire attribute was barely enough to contend with Hao Te, their defeat was only a matter of time.

Because the Martial Soul Avatar is a huge watershed. Soul Master who have Martial Soul Avatar and Soul Master who do not are simply on two different levels. Moreover, Hao Te's Seventh Spirit Ring is almost a perfect match.

However, a dark shadow suddenly darted out. While Hao Te, Lie Shuo, and the others were struggling, the Black Crow Soul King used an ice-blue scorpion tail to pierce the white bear's buttocks.

As the venom was injected with the needle, Hao Te instantly felt unwell. He exclaimed incredulously, "This is the deadly venom of the Blue Scorpion? You actually preserved the venom in the scorpion's tail! Despicable!!!"

"Ah!" Hao Te roared, slapping Lie Shuo the others away with a single blow. Blood gushed from their mouths and noses, but smiles remained on their faces.

"Hao Te, the cold poison has entered your body, and your Soul Power is blocked. Let's see what you're going to do now!" Lie Shuo sneered.

Hao Te staggered back a few steps, feeling the poison spreading rapidly through his body. His Soul Power was hindered by the cold poison, and even his Martial Soul Avatar became somewhat shaky...

He knew all too well the Blue Scorpion's deadly venom. Although it wasn't fatal, even with his current strength, even when he activated his Martial Soul Avatar, he wouldn't be able to unleash even half his full power within half an hour, though his Martial Soul Avatar wouldn't disappear.

This was only because he had used his Martial Soul Avatar beforehand. If he had been poisoned by the cold poison before using his Martial Soul Avatar, he probably would have been almost useless for an hour.

At this moment, even if Hao Te had not lost all his strength, he was now surrounded by six people and had almost no chance of turning the tide.

Then, at that moment, an untimely round of applause rang out.

"Clap clap clap clap clap!"

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! You've shown me the righteousness and courage of one person, and also the treachery and viciousness of a group." Oscar, who had been lying on the ground, barely alive, had somehow stood up and was clapping his hands lightly.

His face still bore traces of dried blood, but his tone had become very calm. "As a reward, I can make you part of the Ice Wolf Pack, and let you become their food to nourish this snowfield."

Looking at Oscar and hearing his powerful words, Lie Shuo and the others stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "This... how is this possible? Weren't you seriously injured?! How can you stand up?!"
