Soul Emperor Assassination

"Good! Good! Good!"

Studying the severed arm in his hand, Golden Crocodile Douluo's smile made his already vicious face appear even fiercer, but he was genuinely delighted.

The bite force of his Crocodile Dance was no joke. Forget a Soul Douluo—even a Titled Douluo, if bitten without defensive soul skills reinforcing them, would have their bones crushed.

Yet the bones in this arm had not been bitten through. Clearly, they were anything but ordinary.

He had immediately thought of a soul bone, and it had to be an exceptionally complete one. Otherwise, it would not have extended to cover the upper arm bone.

Picking it up and inspecting it confirmed his guess. Its age was extremely high, infinitely close to that of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

A ninety-thousand-year soul bone would greatly benefit even someone at his level. Moreover, it appeared to be a strength-enhancement type, highly compatible with him.

If he truly refined this soul bone, he might even have a chance to attempt breaking through to level ninety-nine and becoming a Peak Douluo.

"Catch up to them. Leave markers along the way!"

He shook the flesh and blood from the arm, exposing the Arm Bone within. As he pressed it against his right arm to refine it, he gave the order to pursue.

Whether for revenge over the earlier ambush or for the soul bones on that boy's body, he had to catch up.

Judging from the eruption of the Great Sumeru Hammer just now, Tang Hao definitely had more soul bones on him. At the very least, both of his arms had them.

Otherwise, that arm would have long since been blown apart by the immense Soul Power.

Like Tang Hao, he was a strength-type soul master. The soul bones Tang Hao possessed would certainly suit him as well, and he had to take them all.

Not to mention that hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast.

The other soul master acknowledged the order, activated Martial Soul Possession, and shot away in an instant amid swirling breezes.

Golden Crocodile Douluo did not immediately give chase. Instead, he entered the nearby woods to speed up the refinement of that right arm soul bone.

The remaining few followed him to stand guard for Golden Crocodile Douluo, preventing anyone from disturbing him.

The destruction of his Martial Soul Avatar had inflicted severe backlash upon him, but if he refined that right arm soul bone, the strengthening it provided to his body could also heal those minor injuries.

At the very least, his physical injuries would no longer be a problem.

Elsewhere, Ah Yin carried Tang Hao away at top speed. As she continued flying rapidly, she regenerated Tang Hao's right arm and healed the injuries caused by his use of the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Suddenly seeming to sense something, she looked back, her delicate brows knitting together. She erupted with Soul Power and flew even faster.

They had still caught up!

Leaving aside the two fleeing in misery, Tian Hao, far away in the village, suddenly looked toward the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass whose leaves were trembling violently.

"What's wrong?"

Walking over to the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass, Tian Hao gripped the spear shaft and sensed a distinctly urgent emotion.

"Did something happen to that old woman?"

A possibility came to mind. He knew there was a mysterious resonance between the Blue Silver Emperor and Blue Silver Grass, especially when enhanced by the Blue Silver Domain of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

Though the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass's senses were not as powerful as Ah Yin's, it could still sense things if the distance was not too great.

Since nothing had happened on his end, the problem had to be with Ah Yin.

Had something still happened?

Had Spirit Hall noticed her, just as in the original story?

As his words fell, the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass seemed to respond to Tian Hao. The emotions it conveyed grew ever more intense, as if urging him to hurry to the rescue.

"Are you sure these tiny bodies of ours would be going there to rescue her, rather than causing trouble and becoming that old woman's burden?"

After making that jab, Tian Hao did not think he was qualified to rescue Ah Yin and Tang Hao. Charging in recklessly would only cause trouble.

Hearing that Tian Hao would not go to rescue them, the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass beat its leaves even more frantically, but there was nothing it could do.

It was only a Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass. It could not even move, much less support its emperor.

"I'll get ready and go take a look. First, sense their exact location."

After comforting the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass, Tian Hao returned to the house to pack his things.

Naturally, he was not going to provide support. He was going to collect corpses and loot the dead.

Whether the people fighting Ah Yin and Tang Hao were Spirit Hall experts or not, they were certainly no weaklings. They might have soul bones on them, and even if they did not, their corpses would make excellent research material.

This was a perfect path to wealth. Besides, if Ah Yin were forced into a desperate situation and Tang Hao died, given their relationship, she might just sacrifice herself to Tian Someone.

Tian Hao moved quickly. Before long, he emerged carrying a backpack. Just as he was about to ask how the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass's sensing was going, a burly figure suddenly charged inside.

Without a word, he swung an enormous hammer down upon the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass in the courtyard, smashing it entirely into the ground.

At the same time, a hammer shadow the size of a watermelon shot from the hammer like lightning and blasted toward Tian Hao.

Seeing the hammer shadow hurtling toward him, Tian Hao instantly entered a state of enlightenment and instinctively twisted aside to evade it. Yet the hammer shadow, which should have missed, suddenly changed direction and struck him squarely in the chest. His body was smashed into his parents' room behind him, and his entire breastbone caved in.

It sounded like a long sequence of events, but everything had happened in the span of a spark. At the very end, Tian Hao had only managed to use his fine control over Soul Power to pull his heart aside, compress his heart and lungs to minimize the area of internal injury, and fill the vacated space in his chest cavity with Soul Power.

"A six-ring Soul Emperor!"

Looking at the two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings circling the man, Tian Hao, whose body had crashed into his parents' room, was utterly baffled.

He could not understand why a six-ring Soul Emperor had come to kill him, much less why he had used such an almost ambush-like method.

Heaven have mercy, he was only a level-one Soul Master. Was such a grand display really necessary?

"So weak?"

Seeing the boy with his chest caved in and no breath left in him, Tang Jue was also confused.

That soul skill just now had been his first soul skill. It possessed guaranteed-hit properties and could be cast instantly, making it ideal for ambushes, though its power was average.

His original plan had been to use the hammer shadow condensed by his first soul skill to hold the target down and buy time to build momentum for a stronger soul skill.

Who would have thought that a single hammer shadow would put his opponent down? He was pathetically weak.

"He's this weak, yet the young master gave such serious instructions. There must be a reason."

His mind turning, Tang Jue wandered around the courtyard, searching through things. In the end, he entered a bedroom and soon found something in the desk drawer after rummaging through it.

"A Martial Soul Academy student, huh?"

Picking up the Martial Soul Academy student identification card from the drawer, Tang Jue immediately recognized it. However, he could not understand how such a weak creature could possibly be a student of Martial Soul Academy.

Martial Soul Academy was an Advanced Soul Master Academy as famous as Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy. Its true strength was even a notch above those two royal academies.

Those who could enter Martial Soul Academy were undoubtedly geniuses among geniuses. How could one of them be so weak?

"Could he have been crippled by an accident?"

Guessing at one possibility, Tang Jue did not care much. He casually tossed the student identification card to the ground and instead picked up the envelope in the drawer.

He opened it and looked at the letter inside. At first, he paid it little attention, but when he saw the God Creation Plan, his eyes widened enormously.

"God Creation Plan!"

Too excited to control himself, Tang Jue knew the value of what he was seeing. Born in the Clear Sky Sect, he naturally knew certain secrets, such as the legend of Soul Beast Transformation.

From that perspective, this God Creation Plan had an extremely high chance of succeeding.

"No wonder the young master specifically ordered the entire village burned down. So such a huge secret was hidden here."

He read through the letter once more. After memorizing all its contents, Tang Jue shattered the paper with Soul Power, deep in thought as he understood why the young master, Tang Hao, had given such instructions.

Tian Someone: I've harvested so much destiny, so why is my luck still this awful?

Could it be because I've earned too much money and too many recommendation votes?
