Escape

A long night passed just like that.

The next day, Ye Ye woke up once more. After getting up, he prepared to continue his journey toward Martial Soul Hall.

Ye Ye arrived on the main street, ate a small portion of food, and prepared to leave the city.

Just as Ye Ye was about to exit the city, he discovered that it had been blockaded. At the city gates, some Heaven Dou Empire soldiers were searching everyone.

Although Ye Ye was still quite far from the gate, he could still see the wanted posters plastered on the city walls.

"Wanted: Ye Ye, former Heaven Dou Empire palace guard. Wanted for the assassination of the Heaven Dou Empire crown prince. A reward of 10,000 Gold Soul Coins for his capture alive; 10 Gold Soul Coins for providing information."

Ye Ye: I didn't expect to be worth only 10,000 Gold Soul Coins. It should at least be in the hundreds of millions; after all, my own net worth is already a billion.

Ye Ye also knew that the Heaven Dou Empire couldn't possibly cough up that much money. After all, the empire itself was quite corrupt now, and it was estimated that the gold coins and treasures in the national treasury weren't exactly plentiful.

Ye Ye was currently thinking about how to get out. He didn't like causing trouble, and unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't use violence to solve problems, so he had to put his brain cells to work.

Ye Ye had countless ways to leave this place. He could use a Teleportation Card, or he could simply give up this trip and return to the body of Godzilla to hibernate. The simplest way was to force his way through, but Ye Ye didn't want to use any of these methods; he wanted to use a Disguise Technique to get out.

Ye Ye: "System, is there a way to disguise myself?"

[Ding! The host has two choices:

1. Lottery (low probability). (The author is making a change because the author found that points were being earned too quickly, so I'm preparing to increase the points required for the lottery: 1,000 points for one draw, 11,000 points for one draw. Actually, the lottery points aren't important; what matters is what you get.)

2. Purchase. For 200 points, you can purchase the Disguise Technique. Even your temperament can be changed; no one will be able to tell.]

Ye Ye wouldn't engage in a gamble without a guarantee, so he didn't think twice and chose option two. Besides, he only had 1,200 points right now, and the odds of a single lottery draw were too slim.

[Ding! 200 points consumed. Congratulations on obtaining the Disguise Technique.]

Ye Ye left the queue for the city exit and ducked into a small alleyway.

Ye Ye began to disguise himself. He visualized his current appearance in his mind; this feeling was like sculpting his own face. Ye Ye changed himself into someone with an ordinary appearance, around 40 years old, looking very gentle.

Just as Ye Ye was about to head out, he discovered the figures of three people at the entrance of the alley.

The trio: "We've already seen you, stop pretending, Ye Ye."

They were the city guards from earlier. They had seen Ye Ye from afar, and while they weren't entirely sure, the fact that Ye Ye had secretly left the line made them suspicious. They had followed him and happened to see Ye Ye changing his appearance.

Captain of the Guard: "I didn't expect a Spirit King to have such a special ability to change his appearance. Don't resist. I am a Spirit Saint, and they are both Spirit Emperors. If you surrender now and come back with us obediently, you'll be spared physical suffering. Perhaps His Majesty might even spare you."

Ye Ye also knew that the "sparing" he spoke of was impossible, and he didn't need it anyway.

Ye Ye: "If you leave now, I might still spare your lives."

Captain of the Guard: "Damn, so arrogant. Today, I must let you witness my strength!"

Ye Ye: "Oh, so you're saying you're very brave?"

Captain of the Guard: "Of course, I'm super brave, aren't I?"

(Author: "Ahem, off-topic.")

Ye Ye released his martial soul, and a spirit ring configuration of one yellow, two purple, and two black appeared.

"How is this possible?" The three city guards were shocked by Ye Ye's spirit ring configuration. His second ring reached a thousand years, and his fourth ring reached ten thousand years—this was unprecedented. Could it be that Ye Ye had been hiding his spirit rings all along?

But the captain soon relaxed. The Captain of the Guard said, "I admit you are a genius, and your future achievements will certainly be higher than mine, perhaps even reaching Titled Douluo. But a genius who hasn't grown up is just a genius after all. I can still kill you."

Ye Ye: "We shall see."

Captain of the Guard: "Sun Xingzhe, martial soul Stone Monkey, level 72 Battle Spirit Saint."

Second Captain: "Zhu Bajie, martial soul Wild Boar, level 66 Battle Spirit Emperor."

Third Captain: "Sha Wujin, martial soul Water Demon, level 62 Battle Spirit Emperor."

Ye Ye: Why are their martial souls and names so strange? Aren't these the archetypal protagonists? But with me here, they are doomed.

Ye Ye: "Ye Ye, martial soul Godzilla, level 59 Battle Spirit King."

Sun Xingzhe: "Seventh Spirit Skill: Avatar of the Martial Soul, Sixth Spirit Skill: Staff!"

Sun Xingzhe dared not be careless and directly used his martial soul avatar.

Zhu Bajie: "Sixth Spirit Skill: Rake!"

Sha Wujin: "Sixth Spirit Skill: Staff!" (The weapon of the monk Sha is called the "Demon-Subduing Staff".)

Ye Ye: "Fourth Spirit Skill: King's Aura!"

A powerful pressure emanated from Ye Ye's body, exerting a massive suppression upon them.

The three brothers: "How is this possible?!"

Then the captain was the first to react: "Fourth Spirit Skill: Mental Shock!"

A burst of mental energy was emitted from the eyes of his martial soul, but Ye Ye could completely block this strike. Godzilla's mind was inherently powerful, and when combined with the mental strength of Ye Ye's previous life and his current one, Ye Ye's mental power was even more formidable.

After all, not everyone was like that "hacker" from ten thousand years later who possessed both a powerful spirit ring and immense mental strength. Sun Xingzhe's current mental power was insufficient to stun Ye Ye.

Ye Ye performed a Tail Whip toward Sun Xingzhe. Sun Xingzhe used his staff to block in front of him and then used his first spirit skill, "Amplification"—yes, this was an all-attribute amplification spirit skill.

However, he was still sent flying by Ye Ye's immense strength.

By this time, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujin had also reacted. Although the author has already written a hundred words, the fight had only lasted two or three seconds.

Zhu Bajie: "Fifth Soul Skill: Thunder Nine-Tooth Rake! Fourth Soul Skill: Sharpness Boost!"

Sha Wujin: "Third Soul Skill: Strength Boost! Second Soul Skill: Berserk!"

Ye Ye had already charged his Electromagnetic Pulse. As they approached, Ye Ye blocked Zhu Bajie's attack with his claws, and then Sha Wujin's attack landed on Ye Ye, but it caused him no damage.

Sha Wujin, Zhu Bajie: "How is that possible!"

Ye Ye released the Electromagnetic Pulse.

Both: "Ah!"

The two were sent flying. The one who suffered the most was Sha Wujin; his Martial Soul cracked directly from the impact, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting.

Zhu Bajie also spat out blood. Just then, Sun Xingzhe stood up; Ye Ye had swiped him away a great distance earlier, and he had crashed through many houses before stopping.

The battle that had just taken place here also attracted other city guards.

Sun Xingzhe led them over and charged at the front, while the Second Captain also stood up and rushed over, with the soldiers following closely behind.

A brilliant light erupted from Ye Ye's back, and then Ye Ye suddenly turned around: "Fifth Soul Skill: Dorsal Ray!"

Multiple rays shot out from Ye Ye's back, rushing rapidly toward the city guards. Those hit by the rays were instantly reduced to ashes.

When the attack dissipated, pools of blood covered the ground—these were the city guard soldiers, and the Second Captain was also lying on the ground, devoid of life.

The First Captain's body was riddled with bloody holes, and he was on the verge of death. Before dying, he said, "Why are you so strong?" and then he kicked the bucket.

Just then, the Third Captain woke up. He looked at his surroundings and then at Ye Ye's signature crooked-mouth smirk, terrified: "Ye Ye, don't kill me, spare me! I don't know anything!"

Ye Ye walked over, and the Third Captain was so scared he didn't dare to speak.

Ye Ye placed his claw on Sha Wujin's head and said, "Sure."

Sha Wujin: "Thank you, Ye—"

Ye Ye crushed his head instantly.

Then Ye Ye said, "Oh my, I've taken a life again. What a sin, what a sin."

Ye Ye hadn't originally wanted to solve things with violence, but heaven just wouldn't give him a chance!

The surrounding city guard troops were still advancing toward this location, so Ye Ye fled the city.

Then, Ye Ye continued his journey toward Martial Soul City.
