In desperation, obtain the inheritance of the God of Death?

Right now, looking at the villagers glaring at them with fury, the expressions of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others were far from pleasant.

Clearly, the situation unfolding before their eyes was something they had never anticipated.

Yet, they were unwilling to let Liu Yuan go just like that.

Things had reached this point; they had completely torn off the mask of civility with Liu Yuan.

Therefore, they had to eliminate Liu Yuan.

Otherwise, if they failed to get rid of him and allowed him to develop on his own.

With his terrifying talent, it was likely that in just a few years, he would become a top-tier powerhouse on the Douluo Continent.

By that time, if Liu Yuan came seeking revenge, how could they possibly resist?

Thinking of this, the killing intent in the hearts of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others grew even stronger.

Although having their true colors exposed by the villagers made them feel slightly awkward, since it had come to this, there was no need for them to continue the charade.

Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others stepped forward with cold faces, their gazes turning fierce as they looked at the villagers: "If you don't want to die, hand him over. Otherwise, don't blame us for being heartless."

The villagers were also stirred to bloodlust by these words from Yu Xiaogang and Tang San. They were already furious from learning that these people had ruined the future of the village's children, and now they actually wanted to lay hands on Liu Yuan? The villagers were no longer willing to endure it; they glared at Yu Xiaogang and the others with aggressive momentum, looking very much like they were ready to fight to the death.

Seeing this, a look of deep disdain curled the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth. He let out a cold snort and spoke indifferently: "So eager to seek death? Fine, then I shall grant your wish!"

Having said that, he gave a hand signal to Tang San behind him.

"Tang San, teach them a good lesson!"

Tang San nodded at Yu Xiaogang upon hearing this.

Without another word, he summoned his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, on the spot, and then manipulated the vines to attack the villagers.

The villagers naturally collapsed into a rout immediately.

Although they held the advantage in numbers, they were all ordinary people without any Innate Soul Power.

These commoners lacked any combat training; once they truly encountered a soul master, wouldn't they be defeated in an instant?

Thus, Tang San suppressed the entire group of villagers with his first strike. The villagers were beaten until their skin was torn and they were covered in severe injuries. Yet, their will remained firm, and they never gave up on Liu Yuan.

"Hmph! Do you know regret now?"

"This is the consequence of opposing me, Yu Xiaogang!"

Yu Xiaogang looked on with a face full of smugness.

To deal with these lowly commoners, one had to use such extreme methods.

He wanted to make it clear to them that soul masters and commoners were like nobles and dogs; since they were dogs, they should obey obediently. Otherwise, he could kill them whenever he wanted!

"Stop fighting, I will go with you."

Liu Yuan felt extremely pained watching this.

He had once thought about rushing forward to fight them to the death.

But he was even more aware of the gap in strength between the two sides.

Although his Innate Soul Power of level 30 was unprecedented and his massive Scythe martial soul was incredibly powerful.

These were, after all, abilities that had yet to be developed.

He possessed level 30 Innate Soul Power but lacked a soul ring; facing any one of them, he was no match.

Therefore, acting rashly would be of no use.

He could also choose to save himself and turn to flee.

But if he did that, he would be failing these villagers who were risking their lives to protect him.

Thus, Liu Yuan finally made this decision.

Sacrifice himself to save the villagers.

Didn't Yu Xiaogang and the others want his life?

Come and take it!

He walked forward directly and spoke coldly to Yu Xiaogang and the others.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner?"

Yu Xiaogang wore a smug smile on his face as he saw this.

He really wanted to hear Liu Yuan's inner thoughts.

He had given him a chance before, but he didn't cherish it. Now that he had ended up in this state, he must be regretting it, right?

However, regret was useless!

This was the consequence of opposing him, Yu Xiaogang!

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand at Tang San.

The latter stopped his attack immediately after receiving Yu Xiaogang's order.

Liu Yuan walked over to the village chief and said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, Village Chief. This time, I have implicated you all. Take good care of yourselves from now on."

The village chief and the villagers were all in tears upon hearing this.

"You cannot go with them!"

Liu Yuan gave a bitter smile and said nothing more.

Now, they were the blade and the meat, and he was the fish.

As long as Yu Xiaogang and his group were willing, they could kill him and these villagers at any moment.

If he didn't go with them, what else could he do?

Wouldn't it just result in the villagers suffering alongside him?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan let out a breath and followed Yu Xiaogang and the others as they departed.

Yu Xiaogang and his group brought him directly to a secluded wilderness, then had Tang San and Dai Mubai pick up shovels to dig a large pit in the ground.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Liu Yuan with immense smugness and sneered, "I will give you one last chance: become my servant."

"However, because of what happened before, I don't trust you. I need you to ingest a poison and obey my commands from now on. How about it?"

A thick sense of rage surged in Liu Yuan's eyes: "Go to hell!"

Yu Xiaogang's expression turned ugly instantly. He kicked the bound Liu Yuan, sending him tumbling into the pit, and then snorted coldly: "You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You're courting death!"

"Bury him!"

"Since he wants to die so badly, then let him die!"

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others picked up their shovels and began piling dirt and sand onto Liu Yuan bit by bit.

Yu Xiaogang's mouth twisted into a smug grin.

Liu Yuan's face was covered in sand; it wasn't just on his face, but in his nostrils, his mouth, everywhere.

He soon felt his breathing become labored and grew extremely uncomfortable, as if he were about to perish at any moment.

Yet, at this moment, his heart was filled with hatred.

He hated Yu Xiaogang, he hated Tang San, he hated the Shrek Seven Devils, and he hated Flender.

He hated every single person who had brutalized him today to the very marrow of his bones.

He had done nothing wrong, yet all this misfortune had been heaped upon him, ultimately leading to such a tragic end.

He finally understood what it meant to be in a world where the strong prey on the weak, and what true villains were like.

If he had the strength, he would absolutely slaughter every single one of these damned people like Yu Xiaogang and Tang San!

But it was all just a pipe dream.

Liu Yuan was dying.

He could only let out a sorrowful and indignant sigh in his heart.

"I hate this!"

Following that, his consciousness began to blur.

Liu Yuan had already assumed he was beyond saving.

He was prepared to carry his regrets to the grave.

But unexpectedly, at this very moment, a deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out beside his ear, and the half-dead Liu Yuan, as if grabbing onto a life-saving straw, became frantic.

"Young man, do you crave revenge? Do you crave the power to obtain it? If you do, I can help you. The condition is that you must replace me and become the new Death God."
