Ah Yin's Brief Awakening Intimidates Mingfei, Tang San Foolishly Delivers His Fated Soul Bone
On Douluo Continent, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were exceedingly precious.
Hundred-Thousand-Year soul rings and Soul Bones ranked undisputedly at the very top of every Soul Master's dream list!
But Yu Mingfei had never expected that this Hundred Thousand Year right leg bone left behind after Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin's sacrifice would carry such a hidden danger!
Driven by a sliver of spiritual will awakened from Ah Yin's true body, the energy within the right leg bone erupted inside Yu Mingfei's body.
Yu Mingfei's expression turned incomparably grim.
He abruptly turned his head toward the Golden-Pattern Blue Silver Grass in the vine basket on his back, which was gradually spreading and blooming with blue radiance.
Even after he had moved far away from Tang San, the Blue Silver Emperor's disturbance had not stopped.
Was it because Tang San's life was in danger? Ah Yin, connected to him by blood, sensed his aura and forcibly woke from deep slumber?
Yu Mingfei did everything he could to suppress the rampaging Soul Bone energy, but achieved little.
The power of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was no trivial matter. Even though he had continually drained its life force and Soul Power through healing his injuries these past days, he had only consumed an utterly negligible amount.
He retreated again and again, moving another ten meters away, but it was still useless.
Unwillingness, irritation...
Yu Mingfei simply took off the vine basket and hurled it far away.
Yet the Soul Bone energy was still raging. He could even sense that an incredibly weak consciousness had, in that brief moment, already spread from the Blue Silver Emperor into the Soul Bone.
He took a deep breath, channeling a massive amount of Soul Power into both hands before viciously chopping at his right leg!
Be quiet!
Under his deliberate control, Yu Mingfei's own power and the Soul Bone's power—two streams of Soul Power that should have merged—immediately collided.
His right leg swelled in waves! His muscles and meridians were damaged once more.
After the Soul Power collision, the Soul Power pouring from the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone suddenly stalled for a moment. Then, accompanied by a faint Mental Fluctuation, a message entered Yu Mingfei's mind.
Save him... Save my child...
Yu Mingfei sneered inwardly.
Save him? I still want to kill him! Keep dreaming!
It seemed to sense Yu Mingfei's resolute killing intent.
The Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone fell silent for an instant, then resisted even more violently!
Soul Power several times stronger than before surged out in a single burst.
Instantly! The skin on Yu Mingfei's right leg exploded, bursting into a cloud of blood mist!
Ah Yin was threatening Yu Mingfei!
But when had he ever been someone willing to suffer a loss?
He came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. From the day people discovered that his Soul Power could not advance, he had endured endless scorn.
He endured and endured! He had endured for six years! He had racked his brains to prove his value in exchange for even a sliver of hope to continue cultivating.
Yet what he received was stolen credit and a scapegoat's blame when the plan went wrong!
Now, he had left the sect, stolen the Blue Silver Emperor, and dared to enter the Star Dou Great Forest alone with merely level-ten Soul Power.
He was not even afraid of death. Why would he fear Ah Yin's threats?
Yu Mingfei gave a savage grin. Dragging his mangled right leg, he picked up a sharp wooden stake from beside him.
It was from a tree shattered during the Man Faced Demon Spider's struggle.
Yu Mingfei raised the stake high, aimed it at Tang San, and made as if to throw it.
"Come on!
"Blue Silver Emperor, keep provoking the Soul Bone's rampage. Let's see whether your son dies first, or I do!"
Yu Mingfei spoke calmly, as though discussing something utterly insignificant.
He was not afraid of dying now. He only feared living without satisfaction!
Ah Yin's will within the Soul Bone immediately panicked and no longer dared to guide the Soul Bone into rampaging.
Please... I'll be your Soul Bone properly. I'll help you cultivate... Please... Save him...
Save my child...
Please, put me beside him...
Not far away, Tang San's condition became increasingly dire. The bulge on his back grew even more exaggerated, as though bone spikes were about to burst through his skin.
Ah Yin continued pleading, yet Yu Mingfei still appeared utterly cold-hearted.
He was thinking.
There's a hidden danger with this Blue Silver Emperor and the Soul Bone. I have to find a way to resolve it.
At present, I can't strip away this Hundred Thousand Year right leg bone. I'm incapable of that.
If it keeps rampaging, even if I smash my right leg, I'll most likely die in the Star Dou Great Forest.
I'll find a way to fool it for now. But Tang San... Hmph.
I'll spare your life for the time being!
Yu Mingfei noticed that Ah Yin's message was begging him to place the Blue Silver Emperor's true body beside Tang San.
But how could he possibly comply?
You want to help Tang San awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline? Dream on!
Glancing at the vine basket he had thrown away, a plan instantly formed in his mind.
He spoke to the Blue Silver Emperor. "Next, I'll make my move. If you don't want him to die, behave yourself! Move on your own! Integrate your Soul Bone's energy into my body and heal the injuries you caused!
"Otherwise, you can use your son's corpse as nourishment and grow strong in this Star Dou Great Forest."
After speaking, Yu Mingfei did not even look at the Blue Silver Emperor's true body. Enduring the intense pain in his right leg, he strode toward Tang San.
Just as he had expected, Ah Yin did not dare resist at all.
Under Ah Yin's will, energy from the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone surged forth again.
This time, however, the Soul Power was extraordinarily gentle and carried a great deal of the Blue Silver Emperor's life force essence.
This was the life force hidden deep within the Soul Bone.
It was also the source of the Soul Bone skill Wildfires Cannot Burn It All, Spring Winds Blow and It Lives Again.
The injuries on Yu Mingfei's right leg healed visibly.
He sat cross-legged behind Tang San and gently pressed both hands against Tang San's back.
Under Yu Mingfei's control, a thread of Soul Power entered Tang San's body through his palms.
The moment the Soul Power channel was formed, the violent Soul Bone energy in Tang San's body seemed to find a breakthrough and rushed toward it in a frenzy.
But Yu Mingfei was not an idiot.
If he truly allowed that Soul Power to come through unchecked, with his Soul Power not even at level twenty, he would immediately explode to death.
Tang San's eyes were tightly shut. Under the impact of the soul ring's energy, his face alternated between green and red.
He had already begun to despair, and the images of his father and Xiao Wu surfaced in his mind.
Just as he was unwillingly holding on with all his strength, a pair of hands suddenly pressed against his back.
Who is it? Snake Granny? No, if it were someone else, they wouldn't save a stranger—or even an enemy—Soul Master in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Could it be Teacher Zhao?
A flicker of hope immediately rose in Tang San's heart.
He hastily guided the violent soul ring power, sending it all toward his back.
But just as it was about to leave his body, the hands on his back suddenly constructed a high wall of Soul Power.
It blocked the Soul Power he was trying to disperse.
"Pfft—"
His body shook violently, and Tang San uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood.
Why?
Tang San did not understand.
The Soul Power wall from the hands on his back did not seem sturdy. It shattered at the slightest touch.
Then a small stream of Soul Power slowly flowed into his body.
This made his body, already swollen like a balloon, ache with even greater pressure.
But it also made him understand the other party's intentions.
Was the Soul Power just now too much?
Who exactly is he? Teacher Zhao is a Spirit Sage. How could he fail to withstand the power of a mere Thousand-Year soul ring?
Tang San had no time to think further. He refocused and slowly guided the small but most troublesome and violent mass of Soul Power coiled near his Spine toward his back.
This time, those hands did not resist again.
That strange power, which had been darting wildly around his Spine, smoothly left Tang San's body.
The pressure on him plummeted, and he instantly felt much more relaxed.
He could already endure the remaining Soul Power.
It seemed that violent mass of Soul Power had been the source of the soul ring energy's rampage.
But while Tang San felt relieved, Yu Mingfei was nearly struck by disaster.
The instant this power entered his body, it did not pause in the slightest and immediately erupted.
It was mixed with a fierce toxin that followed wherever the Soul Power flowed, corroding his body and bringing waves of needle-like pain.
Under Ah Yin's will, the Wildfires Cannot Burn It All, Spring Winds Blow and It Lives Again Soul Skill immediately drew forth an immense amount of life force from the Soul Bone, healing Yu Mingfei's body.
Before Yu Mingfei could feel happy, the mass of Soul Power transmitted from Tang San's body seemed to receive some sort of stimulus and released a devouring force.
It began competing with Yu Mingfei for the life energy of the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.
The power of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was not comparable to that of a Man Faced Demon Spider.
Soon, that Soul Power seemed to have eaten its fill. It coiled around Yu Mingfei's Spine and stopped moving.
The familiar drumbeat sounded by his ear once more.
