Want to Kill Me? Pay with Your Life!

Huo Yuhao led the two of them as they wandered through the exhibition hall.

Soon, Wang Dong found herself unable to move away from a soul bone that radiated a brilliant golden light.

"Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone, originating from a ten-thousand-year Golden Earth Dragon King... what a treasure, but it's a pity it costs nine million five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins." Wang Dong sighed longingly as she looked at the astronomical figure.

"You like it?"

Huo Yuhao casually summoned an attendant and pointed at the soul bone. "Wrap it up, I'll take it."

"Yuhao, you..." Wang Dong's pink-blue eyes widened.

"I have a free quota once a year anyway, might as well use it." Huo Yuhao shoved the packaged soul bone into Wang Dong's arms. "Take it. Improve your strength so you don't hold me back."

"But... these are favors owed to Shrek Academy; they'll have to be repaid sooner or later." Wang Dong looked troubled.

"Sometimes, the one who owes the money is the one in charge," Huo Yuhao whispered with a light chuckle.

Wang Dong giggled, clutching the heavy soul bone as a wave of warmth surged in her heart.

This guy—even though he was usually sharp-tongued and overbearing, and had just been bullying her in front of Xiao Xiao—was truly incomparable when he was being kind to her.

"Hmph, I suppose you have a conscience." Wang Dong gave a haughty huff, though she couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from curling upward.

Afterward, Huo Yuhao stopped at an inconspicuous corner and pointed at a black crystal priced at six thousand Gold Soul Coins. "I want this."

"Thousand-year Whale Rubber?" Wang Dong leaned in to take a look, her face full of disdain. "Whale Rubber is only top-quality if it's golden and translucent. This piece is pitch black; it's clearly a defective product with too many impurities. Have you lost your mind, Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled inwardly.

She didn't know what she was looking at!

It was true that golden-colored Whale Rubber was generally better, but that only applied to specimens under ten thousand years old.

Once it exceeded ten thousand years, Whale Rubber would return to its original state and turn black.

This wasn't some defective product; it was clearly a top-tier piece of Whale Rubber with tens of thousands of years of age!

"I just like the color black; it's pleasing to the eye," Huo Yuhao said, making up an excuse.

"Fine, fine. You bought me a soul bone, so I'll treat you to this." Wang Dong paid for it with a grand gesture.

"Is there anything you want, Xiao Xiao?" Huo Yuhao looked toward Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, "There isn't anything here that is particularly suitable for me."

They continued to browse for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, the three of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of Shrek City.

However, the moment they stepped into a patch of woods, Huo Yuhao's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

"Something's wrong!"

His Psychic Power spread out instantly, and a dense murderous intent surged from all directions.

"Three Soul Kings, three Soul Emperors, and there's even a Soul Saint hiding in the shadows!"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's faces turned deathly pale; this was a situation with no hope of survival!

"Go!"

Huo Yuhao let out a low shout, his Psychic Power erupting without reservation, transforming into two invisible hands that shoved hard against the backs of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

At the same time, two flying swords whistled out, catching their bodies and shooting toward the direction of Shrek Academy like meteors.

"Yuhao!"

"Class Monitor!"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao cried out, but they could only watch helplessly as they were sent away from the battlefield.

"Send a signal! Don't look back!" Huo Yuhao's voice reached them on the wind.

The next second, six black shadows darted out from the woods.

Although not all of them had the optimal soul ring configurations, using such a lineup to ambush a single Soul Ancestor was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"Kid, you've got quick reflexes," the lead man in black chuckled sinisterly.

Huo Yuhao didn't run. He licked his lips, and instead of fear, a crazed battle intent ignited in his eyes.

"Perfect, then let me test my blades on you!"

The battle erupted instantly!

Huo Yuhao's figure flickered like a ghost as he unleashed his full Psychic Shock.

A Soul King who was just about to release a soul skill suddenly felt his brain stall, his movements freezing.

"Die!"

Golden light exploded in Huo Yuhao's eyes—Soul Shock!

"Bang!" The Soul King's head exploded like a watermelon, blood pouring from his seven orifices as he dropped dead on the spot.

Immediately following, Huo Yuhao grabbed the air with both hands, his Psychic Power enveloping nine Soul Guidance Flying Knives, which struck down a second Soul King with lightning speed.

The third Soul King wanted to retreat in terror, but he felt the surrounding temperature plummet.

Huo Yuhao struck out with his palm—Empress Palm: Great Cold No Snow!

The extreme chill instantly froze him into an ice sculpture, which then shattered into a sky full of ice powder.

In the blink of an eye, three Soul Kings had fallen!

"Bastards!" The three Soul Emperors were furious. To be outmaneuvered and have three of their own killed while surrounding a mere Soul Ancestor was a supreme humiliation.

The three Soul Emperors closed in, bombarding Huo Yuhao with a variety of dazzling soul skills.

Although Huo Yuhao possessed heaven-defying combat power, the gap in their levels was simply too vast.

He took a flame palm strike head-on and spat out a mouthful of blood, but he used the force to propel himself forward. Golden light flared in his eyes as he unleashed another Soul Shock, sending one of the Soul Emperors into a mental daze.

Just as he manipulated his nine flying knives to go for the kill, a sensation of extreme danger washed over him.

The Soul Saint specializing in psychic attacks, who had been hiding in the shadows all along, had finally made his move.

An invisible psychic spike stabbed viciously into Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Ugh!" Huo Yuhao let out a muffled groan, his body staggering as blood seeped from his seven orifices.

Had it been any other Soul Ancestor or Soul King, they would have died instantly from such a blow.

But because Huo Yuhao's psychic power was extraordinary, rivaling that of a Soul Saint, he managed to endure it.

"Seize the chance! Kill him!" the Soul Saint's cold, sinister voice rang out.

Trapped in a desperate situation, Huo Yuhao began to laugh, his laughter bordering on madness.

"Exhilarating! Truly exhilarating!"

He endured the splitting headache as his Sea of Consciousness surged. The Ice and Snow Emperors and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were all watching this battle; they were his trump cards.

"You want to kill me? Then pay with your lives!"

Huo Yuhao advanced instead of retreating. Using Ice Emperor's Bodyguard to tank the attacks of two Soul Emperors, he risked having his ribs shattered just to swing his blade at the Soul Emperor he had previously crippled.

Emperor Sword: Ice Extreme Peerless!

"Ah!"

Severed limbs flew through the air!

The Soul Emperor clutched his severed arm, his eyes filled with terror and unease.

Is this really just a Soul Ancestor?

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were ambushing a Soul Douluo!

Such monstrous combat power was simply terrifying!

Huo Yuhao lunged forward, crushing the ribs of the crippled Soul Emperor with a single stomp. His Psychic Power controlled the nine flying knives, forming a rotating blade array that pierced straight through the man's skull. Red and white matter splattered everywhere, and the man died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

A Soul Ancestor, with a Soul Saint suppressing the field, had counter-killed three Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor!

The remaining enemies finally revealed looks of sheer terror in their eyes.

Is this even a student? This is clearly a monster wearing human skin!

"A bunch of trash!"

The psychic Soul Saint, who had hidden his figure again after that strike, could no longer sit still. If they delayed any longer and Shrek's powerhouses arrived, they would all be dead.

However, the moment the psychic Soul Saint launched his next mental attack, Huo Yuhao's psychic detection instantly locked onto his position. He unleashed another full-load Soul Shock in return.

The collision of terrifying psychic power caused the two Soul Emperors to bear the brunt of the impact. They felt as if their heads were about to explode, blood streaming from their seven orifices as they suffered in agony.

Huo Yuhao vomited a mouthful of blood, with crimson liquid continuously flowing from his nose and mouth.

With his cultivation at the Soul Ancestor level, his psychic power had already reached that of a Soul Saint.

But psychic attacks were inherently dangerous; facing an evenly matched opponent meant every exchange resulted in mutual injury.

The psychic Soul Saint didn't fare any better; after a muffled grunt, his aura withered.

"Kill this brat with everything you've got! We cannot let him grow!" the Soul Saint roared.

The two Soul Emperors swarmed in again, each unleashing their strongest strike, determined to blast Huo Yuhao into oblivion.

Just then, a cold, clear moonlight cut through the night sky.

"Who dares touch a student of Shrek!"

A slender figure drifted down; it was the inner court's senior sister, Zhang Lexuan. The moment she appeared, she launched a thunderous assault, killing a Soul Emperor with a single palm strike.

She had originally been at the Treasure Appreciation Fair and had seen Huo Yuhao, but she hadn't revealed herself for fear of awkwardness. She had rushed over the moment she saw the distress signal.

Seeing the corpses littering the ground and Huo Yuhao, who was drenched in blood yet radiating a monstrous fighting spirit, a flicker of shock and heartache crossed Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes.

With rising fury, Zhang Lexuan struck out. Her Soul Douluo aura instantly locked down the entire area, and her blood-red 100,000-year soul ring pinned the remaining two enemies to the spot.

The tide of battle turned instantly. Zhang Lexuan struck in anger; she could even contend with a Title Douluo, let alone a mere Soul Saint and Soul Emperor—they couldn't stir up any trouble at all.

A moment later, the psychic Soul Saint had his skull crushed by Zhang Lexuan's palm, and the last remaining Soul Emperor had his cultivation crippled and his bones shattered, tossed onto the ground like a dead dog.
