Cut It Off

"What other tricks do you have?"

Ye Mu's voice was calm, yet it made Dai Mubai's nerves tighten.

Cold sweat seeped from Dai Mubai's forehead, and his teeth ground together.

He was no fool. The opponent's yellow, yellow, black Soul Ring Configuration, along with the casual way he had shattered the White Tiger Intense Light Wave with a single thrust, clearly demonstrated the terrifying gulf in strength between them.

He could not possibly be his opponent.

But the Dean and the others were not in Suotuo City, so he had no one to rely on.

And his brother had brought this man here. He could not back down.

With everyone watching, Dai Mubai could not afford to lose face.

"Come again!!!"

Dai Mubai roared, evil light and bloodshot veins intertwining in his eyes. He was going all out!

The Soul Rings beneath his feet flared brilliantly!

First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protection Barrier!

A layer of milky-white light instantly covered his entire body, providing solid defense.

Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

His muscles swelled and bulged, while pitch-black tiger stripes emerged beneath his skin.

At the same time, his strength, defense, and attack power surged dramatically!

He now looked like a hulking muscle monster, radiating a savage aura.

The character for king on his forehead also grew increasingly bright.

With the two enhancements stacked, Dai Mubai's imposing manner looked considerably more impressive.

Cold Light glimmered over his claws as he stared fixedly at Ye Mu.

Ye Mu merely gave a scornful laugh.

The contempt in that laugh was more insulting than any words could have been.

"You think this will stop me?"

The instant he finished speaking, the fourth Black Soul Ring beneath Ye Mu's feet erupted.

An indescribably sharp killing intent and battle intent exploded outward from him.

Fourth Soul Skill: Nine Star Array-Breaking Spear!

There was no lengthy charge-up, no flashy prelude.

Ye Mu suddenly lunged forward!

Fast!

Inconceivably fast!

It surpassed the limit of what Dai Mubai's eyes could perceive.

It was not just him. Tang San and Xiao Wu were both dumbfounded.

Tang San had to use his Purple Demon Eye just to barely make out Ye Mu's figure.

He was stunned!

So this was a Soul Ancestor! So this was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?!

Dai Mubai only saw a point of Cold Light rapidly expanding before his eyes, and then...

Squelch!

His seemingly sturdy White Tiger Protection Barrier was pierced by the Spear Tip as easily as paper, exploding into a sky full of light motes!

The instant his defense shattered, alarm bells rang wildly in Dai Mubai's heart, but his body had no time to make any effective response.

The Iron Spear flashed with countless cold stars, instantly enveloping every part of his body.

Pfft!!!

The Iron Spear's Spear Tip did not pierce any vital areas. Instead, it precisely stabbed through Dai Mubai's limbs and other parts of his body.

"Ah!!!!"

Dai Mubai let out a shrill scream. His enhancements were completely useless.

His entire body crashed heavily to the ground!

Bang!

After the dull impact came deathly silence.

Tang San and Xiao Wu stared wide-eyed at Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai now lay sprawled on the cold ground like a dead dog with its spine completely broken, convulsing violently.

His limb joints, waist, abdomen, thighs... were covered in spear wounds so deep that bone was visible. Blood flowed ceaselessly, staining the ground red.

His mouth hung open, his eyes filled with pain and terror.

Tang San swallowed. Was this Ye Mu's Fourth Soul Skill?

Too fast!

Its attack power was too strong!

It had instantly defeated Dai Mubai. Tang San believed that if Ye Mu had wanted to, Dai Mubai would have died by the second or third strike.

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: So fast! I couldn't see anything at all.]

[Cat Star Person Never Admits Defeat: Indeed.]

[Tyrannosaurus Tears Down the House Today: I saw it clearly. Ye Mu held back too. Otherwise, if he had attacked Dai Mubai's vital spots directly, Dai Mubai would not have been able to react. This Fourth Soul Skill would have been enough to kill Dai Mubai several times over.]

[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: A very powerful burst-type Soul Skill. If all the attacks landed on one person, its attack power would probably be no weaker than an ordinary Soul Master's Sixth Soul Skill, perhaps even stronger!]

[Heaven Dou Empress Little Angel: Very impressive.]

Qian Renxue felt that unless she used some of her real strength, she might not necessarily have been able to block it.

Ye Mu's Iron Spear pointed diagonally at the ground, and a thick drop of blood slowly slid down from its tip.

He gave his wrist a slight flick.

The blood on the spear shaft was cleanly shaken off, streaking a line of blood across the ground.

"Pathetic."

Ye Mu said coldly.

Ye Mu's gaze swept over Tang San in the distance and Xiao Wu, who stood close beside him.

The two of them shuddered and instinctively took a step back in unison.

Tang San hurriedly waved his hands, his voice trembling slightly. "We're not with Dai Mubai!"

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously as well.

Ye Mu's expression did not change, but he wanted to laugh inwardly. The two of them had apparently been frightened by him.

Then again, that made sense. A single Soul Skill had crippled more than half of Dai Mubai.

"I know. This has nothing to do with you."

His gaze paused on Tang San for a moment.

Kill Tang San?

That thought had indeed crossed his mind.

But now was not the time.

Although Tang Hao had been crippled, Tang San's connections went beyond Tang Hao alone. There was also the Asura God.

Before he had sufficient confidence to deal with them, there was no need to rush.

The man was right here, and he could not run away. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to leave him for Xi Yue to handle in the future.

Besides, once I become strong enough to ignore any interference, it will not be too late to reap the harvest.

His gaze returned to Dai Mubai.

"Dai Mubai." Ye Mu spoke softly, yet Dai Mubai's entire body trembled. "Dai Weisi... did not ask me to kill you."

Dai Mubai was in agonizing pain, but upon hearing this, an intense desire to survive burst forth in his eyes. No one could save him now, and Ye Mu not killing him was the best outcome.

He let out a breath, and even the pain in his body seemed to lessen slightly.

As long as I don't die... as long as I don't die, there's still a chance!

Ye Mu!! Just you wait. I, Dai Mubai, will definitely take revenge!

However, Ye Mu's next words instantly plunged him into an icy abyss.

"However... he does not want you going back."

"Going... going back?" Dai Mubai froze. Then, a bone-piercing chill shot from his spine straight to the crown of his head!

He instantly had a bad feeling.

Oh no!

Swish!

A streak of Cold Light so fast that only an afterimage remained flashed upward from below, cleanly, decisively, and with flawless precision.

"Urgh, ah!!!!!!"

A howl even shriller and more despairing than all his previous screams combined erupted from Dai Mubai's throat.

His eyes bulged violently, and his body spasmed wildly as his hands tried to cover the bleeding area below his waist.

His manhood had been cut off at the root!!!

"Hiss..."

Tang San, standing in the distance, sucked in a sharp breath, his face turning pale.

His legs went weak, and he almost instinctively covered his own groin. His gaze toward Ye Mu was filled with horror.

This man... was truly ruthless!

This was far crueler than simply killing him!

He had completely severed Dai Mubai's future as a man.

Not to mention that Dai Mubai was royalty. Unable to have children in the future, there was no way he could ever become emperor.
