Instant Kill

Huo Yuhao followed her gaze and saw two men appear before them.

One man had a scar on his left cheek and a lecherous look on his face.

The other man had his right eye blinded and wore a dragon-shaped eyepatch, his presence exuding a sinister air.

In front of these two men stood a hunting dog with bared, chilling fangs.

The hunting dog looked at Huo Yuhao, its eyes immediately filled with excitement and mockery, as if it couldn't wait to charge forward like it always did, scare Huo Yuhao until he wet himself, and then tear a chunk of meat from his body.

When Huo Yuhao saw this hunting dog, his gaze turned cold.

He recognized this dog; it was a hunting dog from the Duke's Mansion.

During his time at the Duke's Mansion, he had often been bullied by this dog when he was a child.

The hunting dog had a keen sense of smell and was a ten-year soul beast, more than capable of picking up his scent.

At this moment, the scarred man looked at Huo Yuhao, impatiently pulled out a portrait, compared it carefully, and then curled his lips into a savage grin: "Big brother, this is the brat who killed our third brother. Let's finish him!"

The one-eyed man gave a cruel smile, looked at Xiao Wu, swallowed hard, and greedily licked his lips.

"Fine, you go kill this little beast, and I'll capture the girl next to him. We can have some fun together later. Damn, I've been so tired these past few days; it's time to relax."

As the two spoke, they looked as if victory was already in their grasp.

Just then, Huo Yuhao's voice rang out: "Hey, you're from the Duke's Mansion, right? The 'third brother' you mentioned just now... that was that wicked servant, wasn't it?"

Huo Yuhao spoke with a calm expression.

At the same time, he knew clearly in his heart that this matter definitely had something to do with the Duchess.

The scarred man sneered: "Brat, you're quite smart, but you're a dead man today!"

The one-eyed man chimed in with a cold laugh: "That's right. Since you're so self-aware, we'll break your limbs first before slowly torturing you to death!"

With that, the two wore cruel smiles as they charged toward Huo Yuhao, instantly activating their martial souls...

The martial souls of the scarred man and the one-eyed man were both hoes.

After all, they were biological brothers; unless their mother had been unfaithful or a rare mutation had occurred, their martial souls would generally be identical.

As those two uniquely shaped hoes appeared, their soul rings also erupted into view.

First, a white soul ring rose from beneath the scarred man's feet. This was the mark of a 10-year soul ring, but its age had reached 80 years; although it was still white, it could be considered a top-tier white soul ring.

His other soul ring was yellow, with an age just over 100 years, making it slightly inferior by comparison.

Even so, within the soul ring system, color was an important indicator of strength, and the intensity of a yellow soul ring far exceeded that of a first white soul ring.

The one-eyed soul master's soul ring configuration was similar, with slightly higher ages of 90 and 120 years, also presenting a one-white, one-yellow combination.

Immediately after, the two curled their lips into cold smiles, gripped their hoes tightly, and lunged at Huo Yuhao like hungry tigers.

However, just as they leaped high into the air, their hoes whistling with sharp wind as they attempted to strike Huo Yuhao dead, Huo Yuhao's body moved abruptly.

In an instant, a white soul ring rose slowly from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.

The two were stunned at first, then burst into unbridled, wild laughter, as if mocking the weakness of the white soul ring.

But soon, their pupils contracted instantly.

"First soul skill, Spirit Interference!"

As Huo Yuhao's voice fell, the two felt their minds go blank for a moment.

By the time they regained their senses, Huo Yuhao had already arrived at the side of one of them.

"Eight-Level Collapse!"

Before Huo Yuhao's voice had even faded, his right fist, wrapped in immense power, slammed heavily into the man's waist.

A tyrannical force surged inward, shattering his kidney, and the subsequent fracture of his lumbar vertebrae triggered a chain reaction, causing his spine to crumble segment by segment.

His entire body went limp, as if his backbone had been ripped out, and he collapsed onto the ground.

Having done this, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate for a second, stomping his foot hard on the ground.

"Explosive Step!"

With a loud boom.

Following the thunderous sound, Huo Yuhao instantly arrived beside the other man, his speed so fast that the opponent had no time to react.

Immediately after.

Huo Yuhao turned smoothly and kicked the one-eyed soul master in the lower abdomen.

The one-eyed soul master felt a sudden spasm in his abdomen, followed by an intense urge to defecate.

Then, his lower intestine ruptured, and his sphincter lost all control.

With a "bang," feces and urine burst out simultaneously.

"First soul skill, Waist Bow!"

With a "bang."

Xiao Wu struck instantly, landing another kick on his abdomen, sending the man flying back like a kite with a broken string until he slammed heavily into a nearby tree.

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate, following closely behind. The moment the man slammed into a tree and fell unconscious, the White Tiger Dagger was instantly in his hand, severing the carotid artery in the man's neck.

In an instant, both men were dead.

At the same time.

The hunting dog also tucked its tail and fled for its life.

But it had only managed to scramble a few dozen paces before Xiao Wu flashed forward like a ghost, her leg wrapped in a gust of wind as she kicked it in the waist.

"Bang!"

The hunting dog slammed directly into a nearby tree, its spine snapping, and it slowly breathed its last, leaving behind a shimmering white soul ring.

After finishing this, Huo Yuhao began to clean up the battlefield, searching through the pockets of the two men and unexpectedly finding 3 silver soul coins and twenty or thirty copper soul coins.

This was a decent haul.

"Yuhao, should we head to a nearby town to rest and recuperate for a while?"

At this moment, Xiao Wu spoke up to Huo Yuhao.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at the clothes he and Xiao Wu were wearing; they had been here for several days, and their outfits were a bit dirty and smelly, so they really did need a change.

"Alright, no problem."

Following that, Huo Yuhao waved at Xiao Wu, intending to take her and leave this place.

But just then, a voice suddenly drifted over from not far away.

"Little Brother Yuhao, what happened to you? Were you ambushed?"

The person speaking was none other than Tang Ya. Tang Ya ran over in great surprise, with Beibei following right beside her.

Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Ya and revealed a smile: "That's right, these people insisted on courting death to get me, so I killed them in self-defense."

Seeing the scene, Tang Ya's eyes lit up: "What level were these people? Two rings or one ring?"

Huo Yuhao replied: "Two rings, Soul Grand Master."

Hearing this, Tang Ya's eyes brightened once more; Huo Yuhao's combat prowess left her feeling quite surprised.

"Yuhao, since you're so strong, why don't you join our Tang Sect? We'll definitely treat you well, and our Tang Sect's Purple Demon Eye is truly perfect for you. Won't you come? There are so many benefits."

Tang Ya couldn't wait to introduce the various advantages of the Tang Sect to Huo Yuhao once again.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt a bit helpless and instinctively asked the system how he should respond.

After all, this was a major choice, and the system would surely provide an appropriate reward for the decision.

However, just at this moment, the voice of the system rang out...
