Chu Chen's Decisive Killing, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang Slain

Seeing Chu Chen kill the two without mercy, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang both realized that he truly was a demon king!

A ruthless man who could fight on the Deathmatch Arena without using a single soul skill—how could he fear their threats? Moreover, among their group, probably not one of them was a match for Chu Chen!

"You dare kill people from our Blazing Academy? Boy, you must be tired of living."

At that moment, an old man appeared before Huo Wu.

"Elder Huo!" Upon seeing him, Huo Wu immediately resumed her previous arrogant manner. Pointing at Chu Chen, she snapped, "Elder Huo, he was the one who killed Brother Changkong! He just killed two of our people as well!"

The old man known as Elder Huo raised his eyes toward Chu Chen, an invisible oppressive aura erupting from him.

Then, with his hands behind his back, seven Spirit Rings bloomed!

"So Blazing Academy is nothing more than a pack of rats."

Chu Chen quietly gathered surging life force. Even a Soul Saint did not frighten him; the only thing he needed to consider was whether fighting within Heaven Dou City would draw unnecessary attention.

"Boy, I'll give you a chance to cripple your own martial soul. I can spare your life." Elder Huo stared at Chu Chen contemptuously, not taking him seriously at all.

"Noisy."

Killing intent surged in Chu Chen's eyes.

Boom!

Suddenly, an incomparably terrifying wave of Soul Power burst forth, pressing down invisibly from the air. In an instant, Elder Huo and the Blazing Academy group were crushed to the ground, accompanied by crisp sounds of bones breaking.

Elder Huo let out a miserable cry as his kneecaps were instantly pulverized.

Dugu Bo slowly walked out from behind Chu Chen. Each time he released a Spirit Ring, the surrounding space seemed to freeze.

"A... Title Douluo!"

Elder Huo was utterly terrified, his voice trembling.

Huo Wu and the others were frightened senseless. They had never imagined that a Title Douluo stood behind Chu Chen. A single Title Douluo was enough to wipe out their Blazing Academy. What exactly had they been courting death for?

"Blazing Academy? Nothing but a trash academy, yet you dare act so domineeringly?"

Dugu Bo walked up beside Chu Chen and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I just killed two people. My hands are warmed up." Chu Chen smiled.

"Not bad. You have a bit of my old style. Leave the rest to me."

Dugu Bo nodded, then walked over to Elder Huo.

By then, Elder Huo had recognized Dugu Bo's identity. He said in terror, "Poison... Poison Douluo, senior, sir, this must be a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding..."

"A misunderstanding? This old man may be getting on in years, but my ears still work quite well. Just now, didn't you say my brother should cripple his own martial soul?"

At that moment, Dugu Bo once again became the cold-blooded Title Douluo whose name struck terror into countless hearts. He looked casually at Elder Huo, who knelt on the ground with his knees already completely shattered.

"Go ahead and do it. Otherwise, this old man would not mind wiping out your Blazing Academy."

Dugu Bo's calm, casual appearance made it seem as though he were merely discussing some trivial matter.

"No... no...!"

Elder Huo shook his head repeatedly. He had cultivated all this time to attain his hard-earned Soul Saint strength. Asking him to cripple his own martial soul? He would rather be killed outright!

"No! Making me cripple my own martial soul would be worse than killing me directly!"

Elder Huo screamed.

Splurt!

As soon as he said that, his body exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere and splattering Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the others from head to toe.

"Granted."

Dugu Bo turned and left, no longer bothering with Huo Wu and the others, who had been scared witless. Facing the terrifying pressure of a Title Douluo, what could they possibly do? They no longer even had the courage to raise their heads.

Elder Huo had died a miserable death, and with him went the pitiful shred of pride in their hearts. From beginning to end, they had amounted to nothing.

Dugu Bo returned to Chu Chen's side and whispered, "Do you intend to kill all of them? These people are nothing, but the Great Soul Arena already revealed that Blazing Academy had bribed them."

"If Blazing Academy's entire younger generation disappears, they will likely demand that the Empire intervene. By then, your identity as Destruction will be impossible to hide. If they investigate..."

Before Dugu Bo could finish, he saw Chu Chen summon the Blue Silver Emperor. It burst from the ground and pierced through the bodies of several people.

Huo Wu and the others died just like that.

With his current strength, it was something he could accomplish with ease.

"Old Poison, I heard that in other people's eyes, you are decisive in killing, vicious and ruthless. Why are you asking me today over killing just a few people?"

Chu Chen shrugged casually, then left the place together with Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo froze for a moment, then could not help laughing.

"This kid really does have a vicious personality somewhat like mine." Dugu Bo laughed heartily and gathered a cloud of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison. Before long, Huo Wu and the others' corpses turned into a pool of pus.

"You really are decisive when it comes to killing, kid."

On the way back, Dugu Bo teased him.

"They wanted to kill me. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if I let them go? Kill those who should be killed, lest trouble drag on."

Chu Chen did not care about killing those people. Even without Dugu Bo, he had never been kind-hearted. Hiding his strength all this time did not mean he had hidden his bloodlust as well.

"Brother Destruction."

A familiar voice came from ahead. Chu Chen and Dugu Bo stopped. Xue Qinghe was approaching from the front, and upon seeing Chu Chen, he smiled gently. "Brother Destruction, are you alright?"

"Brother Qinghe, I suffered a minor internal injury. It is nothing serious."

Chu Chen replied.

Dugu Bo: "???"

Didn't this kid say he could not be bothered with the affairs of the imperial family? How was he so familiar with the Crown Prince? Was he fooling me?!

Dugu Bo stared at the two strangely. Xue Qinghe stepped forward and bowed to Dugu Bo. "Senior Dugu, Qinghe is honored to see you again."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince flatters me. You are the Crown Prince of this nation, while this old man is merely an idle fellow. How could I deserve the word 'honored' from you?"

Dugu Bo shook his head. Seeing that Chu Chen and Xue Qinghe seemed quite familiar, he did not ask further. "Since you, Destruction, have reunited with His Highness the Crown Prince after a long separation, I will not disturb you further. Talk."

"Senior Dugu, until next time." Xue Qinghe smiled.

Though Dugu Bo was puzzled, he still vanished into the distance after a few leaps.

"Brother Destruction, it has been several days since we last met. Tonight, when I heard that you had returned to participate in a deathmatch, Qinghe came here. I did not expect to encounter such an absurd affair. How are your injuries? I can have someone from the palace treat you."

The concern in Xue Qinghe's tone did not seem false. Although he did have intentions of testing Chu Chen, that concern was genuine.

Xue Qinghe—or rather, Qian Renxue—had indeed come to regard Chu Chen as a true close friend. How could a Soul Ancestor kill a Soul Emperor without paying some price?
