You Can Give It a Try!

The depths of the Star Dou Great Forest were so quiet at this moment that it felt eerie.

The fundamental reason was that the black mist's self-destruction had severely injured the four hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, leaving them to heal where they stood.

The Soul Beasts that had been released had not awakened either, resulting in this situation.

With Red Scale's help, Ye Han and the others had only suffered minor injuries. They planned to recover a little before leaving.

"Seniors! Thank you for your help with this matter. We'll be leaving now!" Ye Han said, taking out quite a few potions from his clothes. "These potions can't restore you quickly, but they can speed up your recovery. Please accept them as compensation!"

"Boy Ye Han! There's no need for that!" Although Red Scale knew why Ye Han was doing this, Ye Han had also paid a considerable price for this matter.

When he had first appeared, blood had continuously poured from his eyes. Red Scale remembered that clearly.

Yet just as Ye Han and the others were about to leave, an unexpected change occurred.

Five people suddenly appeared before them, all of them Titled Douluo. They were precisely the five people who had entered the Star Dou Great Forest to determine the cause of the incident.

The atmosphere instantly became strange. On one side were four severely wounded hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts; on the other were five Titled Douluo.

Everyone's gaze immediately locked onto Ye Han, who stood among the Soul Beasts.

"Boy Ye Han! What exactly is going on?" Sword Douluo asked calmly.

Ye Han also sensed that something was wrong. These were four hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, and all of them were seriously injured. To these people, they were practically being served on a platter. The Titled Douluo's intentions were obvious.

"You're Ye Han? The one who said my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be wiped out?" Yu Yuanzhen glared at Ye Han unhappily.

Ye Han quickly led everyone over to the side of the Titled Douluo.

"May I ask what brings you seniors here?" If this matter could be peacefully resolved, Ye Han naturally preferred that outcome. But under the current circumstances, that did not seem easy.

"Brat! You're asking why we're here? There are four hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts here! Is Jade Flute Douluo planning to keep them all for himself?" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan smiled seductively, his gaze constantly searching the surroundings.

Ye Han suddenly understood. The people before him were hesitant because they did not know where Zhao Lei was.

It was a natural assumption. After all, Ye Han and the others were only Level 39. Without a Titled Douluo accompanying them, they could never have appeared here.

"Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, you jest. Uncle Zhao and Senior Dugu are nearby! These Soul Beasts cannot be touched!" Ye Han took a deep breath and smiled.

"Oh? Why can't they be touched?" Ghost Charm had somehow appeared before Ye Han. He looked at him with a hoarse voice, as though Ye Han would lose his head the next moment if he failed to explain himself.

Ye Han subconsciously took a step back, his mind racing wildly. He quickly came up with an idea and hurriedly said, "Have you Your Excellencies heard the ancient legend? A Black Dragon King sleeps in the depths of the lake within the Star Dou Great Forest! Its strength is exactly equal to Spirit Hall's current Great Enshrinement!"

His words immediately startled them. The Great Enshrinement was Qian Daoliu. Who was Qian Daoliu? A Level 99 Limit Douluo! A man known as the one closest to godhood in the past hundred years.

There was such an existence in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest? They truly had not known that.

"This Soul Beast riot was caused by humanity's rampant slaughter of Soul Beasts, which bred resentment among them. So Uncle Zhao, Senior Dugu, and I came here to help these seniors end the riot! This was also the Black Dragon King's will!" Ye Han said solemnly.

His words were half true and half false. Even if they investigated later, it would not cause any major trouble.

"You say whatever you want, and we're supposed to believe it? If there really is a Black Dragon King, why are there so many Soul Beasts around here? Why didn't it act itself?" Pufferfish Douluo did not believe Ye Han at all. Instead, he greedily eyed the four hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts.

Sure enough, once Pufferfish Douluo said that, the others, though still somewhat hesitant, saw nothing but four hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones before them!

"Roar! Despicable humans, if you have the guts, wait until I recover and fight me then!" The Titan Giant Ape had the most violent temper, though the Sky Azure Bull Python had stopped it at first.

But now, it seemed that no matter what Ye Han said, these people had no intention of leaving. Naturally, the Titan Giant Ape could no longer endure it.

"Hmph! A bunch of heavily injured beasts, and you still dare to be so arrogant!" Pufferfish Douluo said arrogantly.

Ye Han's expression darkened, but he spoke again. "Your Excellencies, if you truly intend to act, we will likely join Uncle Zhao and Senior Dugu in resisting you to the death! The others may be fine, but this Level 91 Pufferfish Douluo might not be!"

Those words indeed made the five hesitate. If they truly pushed them too far, casualties were possible. Besides, these people did not belong to the same faction.

"You little bastard! I think you're just bluffing. If anyone were really with you, they would have shown themselves already. Since you're helping Soul Beasts, I'll kill you today!"

No one had expected Pufferfish Douluo to attack so suddenly, but the others had no intention of stopping him either. They treated it as a test.

Facing the sudden attack, Ye Han's pupils contracted. The next moment, a streak of golden light entered his body.

Ye Han knew that golden light all too well. It was Honjou Kaede's Third Soul Skill, Devoted Benevolence. He had just been about to stop her when Pufferfish Douluo's attack had already arrived.

Honjou Kaede was sent flying, suffering severe injuries. Even with all her points allocated to defense, Honjou Kaede could not withstand an attack from a Titled Douluo. But in the end, she had borne all the damage herself.

"Xiao Feng!"

Everyone rushed to Honjou Kaede's side. Ye Han was affected the most. Looking at Honjou Kaede, whose entire body was covered in blood, his mind was in chaos.

"Hmph! That other little bastard saved you like this. Let's see who saves you next time! Where are Jade Flute Douluo and Poison Douluo? Don't tell me they're dead?" Pufferfish Douluo's words stirred the others into action.

Ye Han looked at the blood on his hands, his face gloomy, without the slightest aura around him. "Yes. Uncle Zhao and Senior Dugu Bo truly aren't here."

He sounded as though he were merely stating a fact, yet for some reason, the people opposite him all felt chills run down their spines.

"Boy Ye Han, you should run first! We'll hold them back!" the Sky Azure Bull Python suddenly said.

But Ye Han waved his hand and said directly, "Ever since I came to this world, my thoughts have been simple. To live peacefully and protect the people I like. But it still ended up like this! To be honest, I'm very angry!"

"You'll die here today! So what if you're angry?" Having seemingly confirmed that Zhao Lei and Dugu Bo were not nearby, Pufferfish Douluo suppressed his unease and mocked him.

Ye Han raised his right hand. A red spear slowly emerged from a golden halo. Ye Han skillfully gripped the spear and pointed it at Pufferfish Douluo.

"What? A Level 39 Soul Elder like you wants to fight me, a Level 91?" Pufferfish Douluo looked as arrogant as could be.

Yet none of the other four Titled Douluo tried to stop him. Everyone had their own calculations. If Pufferfish Douluo killed Ye Han and the others alone, then even if Zhao Lei came looking for them, they would have an excuse.

Ye Han ignored Pufferfish Douluo's arrogance and continued speaking to himself. "Piercing Death Thorn Spear! A spear of causality known for reversing cause and effect—a weapon governed by the laws of causality!"

As Ye Han spoke, Pufferfish Douluo felt discomfort all over his body, and deep unease rose in his heart.

"You haven't lived for nothing if you get to die by this spear!" Ye Han's expression was icy. "Third Soul Skill, True Name Release, Piercing Death Thorn Spear!"

A powerful wave of Soul Power instantly swept through the surroundings. Because he was forcing himself to use it, blood began to seep from Ye Han's skin, while blood also trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Yet Ye Han seemed completely oblivious to it. He continued to stare coldly at Pufferfish Douluo, as though he were looking at a dead man.

At that moment, everyone present felt the threat of death—a death that could not be avoided. For a moment, none of them knew what to do.

Pufferfish Douluo felt it most keenly. After being locked onto by Ye Han, every part of his body screamed at him to run. If he did not run, he would die. Yet the Ye Han before him did not look capable of killing him at all.

Under the immense pressure, Pufferfish Douluo was the first to crack. His eyes turned bloodshot as he charged madly at Ye Han. "Die!"

A flash of red light flickered. Ye Han had already fallen to the ground, but Pufferfish Douluo's heart had been pierced through. The sight made everyone's pupils contract.

Yue Guan glanced at Ghost Charm, who shook his head. This was truly terrifying. Even Ghost Charm, with his incredible speed, had failed to see it clearly—and a Titled Douluo had died just like that.

However, Ye Han clearly did not look like he could launch another attack, so Yue Guan had no intention of giving up.

"Kurumi," Ye Han said softly.

Kurumi gently stroked Ye Han's face. "There's only one chance. Are you really ready? Don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

Ye Han nodded firmly.

Seeing this, Soul Power began to ripple around Kurumi. The remaining four were all extremely cautious whenever anyone made a move; after all, Pufferfish Douluo's fate had been truly miserable.

"Third Soul Skill, Zafkiel: Dalet!"

A bullet entered Ye Han's body. In the next instant, his injuries began to heal, while Kurumi collapsed directly into Esdeath's arms on the other side.

Ye Han, restored to full health, slowly rose to his feet. He stared at the four Titled Douluo like a vicious ghost, slowly raising the Piercing Death Thorn Spear in his hand!

"H-Hey! Even if that Little Girl healed you earlier, your body can't possibly withstand using that move again, can it?!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said warily.

Ye Han pointed his spear at Chrysanthemum Douluo. "You can try."

With that one sentence, everyone fell silent. The last person who had tried was dead. Whether Ye Han could use that move again or not, no one wanted to be the first to test him.
