Humiliating Dai Huabin. Now, You Had No Options Left!

"As you wished!"

A cold voice rang out.

A piercing whistle tore through the air beside him.

Before Dai Huabin could determine where it came from, a fist wreathed in blinding blue-white lightning filled his entire vision.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

Dai Huabin roared, and a thick white barrier instantly spread around him, shielding him within.

However.

Crack!

That fist did not pause in the slightest.

Lightning Style Chakra instantly shattered the defense formed by Soul Power.

The White Tiger Protection Barrier broke apart at once.

Bang!

The punch landed squarely on Dai Huabin's arrogant face.

"Pfft—"

The sound of his nasal bones shattering was clearly audible.

Dai Huabin spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

"Th... that's impossible..."

His eyes widened in midair, his brain utterly blank.

What kind of speed was that?

What kind of power was that?

How could a mere one-ring Soul Master... possibly shatter my defense head-on?

Before he could hit the ground, another attack struck him from behind.

This was not the Body Flicker Technique, but another clone that had been lying in ambush there all along.

"Go back."

Another Huo Yuhao appeared. He lashed out with a heavy roundhouse kick, striking Dai Huabin hard in the center of his back.

"Urgh!"

Dai Huabin was kicked toward the ground like a ball.

But the assault was far from over.

Just as he was about to crash down, the rocks beneath him suddenly exploded. A third Huo Yuhao burst from the ground and smashed an Rising Dragon Fist into his chin, sending him flying into the sky again.

Immediately afterward, a fourth Huo Yuhao, who had long been waiting in midair, clasped his fists together and brought them down on Dai Huabin's head as though dunking a ball.

Boom!

Dai Huabin crashed into the stone slabs of the arena like a meteor, sending shattered rocks and dust flying in every direction.

Four figures landed and took up positions in the four directions, tightly surrounding Dai Huabin at the bottom of the crater.

Four pairs of scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan gleamed with eerie light through the mist, coldly watching the once-lofty legitimate son of the duke.

At the bottom of the crater.

Dai Huabin had landed face-first. His face was covered in blood, and he looked utterly miserable.

"That's impossible..."

He struggled to raise his head, staring at the four identical figures around him as he let out a hysterical roar:

"I am the legitimate son of the White Tiger Duke! I am Dai Huabin!"

"How could I possibly be defeated by a lowborn one-ring Soul Master?!"

"Genjutsu... this must be Genjutsu!"

Just as he desperately tried to numb himself with Genjutsu and escape reality.

One of Huo Yuhao's clones rapidly formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Whoosh—!!!

A violent gale rose from the ground, instantly blowing away the thick mist that had covered the entire arena.

The field of view became clear.

Dai Huabin's pupils shrank sharply.

Because, following his line of sight, he saw that a fifth Huo Yuhao was actually standing at the other end of the arena!

That Huo Yuhao had not joined the attack. Instead, he lazily leaned against a long Tachi embedded in the ground, as though watching a tedious farce.

That was the original body.

And the four who had beaten him until he could not fight back... were all clones!

"You can't even defeat my clones..."

The original Huo Yuhao pulled the Tachi from the ground, his gaze contemptuous.

"You really are trash."

"Wha... t..."

Those two words completely shattered the last remnants of Dai Huabin's pride.

Clones?

The more clones one created, the weaker each one became.

Even after splitting into four clones, each one could crush me?

Then how strong... was his original body?

An emotion called despair began spreading through his heart.

No... no! I can't lose!

I have to obtain the inheritance Mother left behind!

I have to inherit the title of White Tiger Duke in the future!

I absolutely cannot lose to this lowborn bastard!

There was still a way.

There was still a hope of turning things around!

Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

As long as he could use Hell White Tiger, that terrifying power comparable to a Soul Ancestor or even a Soul King would surely crush everything before him!

Huo Yuhao had only one path left: death!

Dai Huabin clung to that thought like a drowning man grasping at his last straw.

He quickly locked onto Zhu Lu, who was equally disheveled in the distance, and used the last bit of strength in his body to climb to his feet, no longer caring about appearances.

Hunched over, he ran madly toward Zhu Lu.

Tap, tap, tap.

Unhurried footsteps sounded behind him.

Huo Yuhao did not use the Body Flicker Technique to pursue him.

Holding the Tachi in one hand, he followed behind Dai Huabin at a slow and composed pace.

The scene was exactly like Sasuke chasing Danzo across the bridge, as Danzo fled like a stray dog with nowhere left to run.

"Run, trash."

Huo Yuhao's voice clung to him like maggots on bone.

"Now, you have no options left."

Watching Dai Huabin, who had once strutted about the Duke Mansion with such arrogance and superiority, flee before him like a dog.

A surge of satisfaction rose within Huo Yuhao.

Dai Huabin, when you humiliated my mother and me back then, did you ever imagine that this day would come?

Elsewhere.

Zhu Lu also noticed the abnormality on this side.

Seeing Dai Huabin stumbling forward with his face covered in blood, with Huo Yuhao closing in behind him, her heart instantly leaped into her throat.

"Huabin! How are you?!"

Their years of mutual understanding allowed her to instantly grasp Dai Huabin's intent.

It was a request to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Hell White Tiger.

Zhu Lu did not hesitate. Possessed by her Spirit Cat Martial Soul, she pushed her speed to the limit, transforming into a black afterimage as she rushed toward Dai Huabin.

"Don't even think about it!"

Wang Dong, who had been watching from the side, finally reacted.

"I don't know what Huo Yuhao is up to, but we absolutely cannot let them meet up!"

"Huo Yuhao! Stop them!"

Wang Dong shouted anxiously, "You absolutely can't let them use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill! This isn't something to take lightly!"

However.

Faced with the two who were about to meet, Huo Yuhao not only did not swing his blade to stop them, but instead came to a halt.

He looked at Wang Dong, a contemptuous smile curling across his lips.

"There's no need."

After saying that, he made a move that no one in the entire arena could understand.

Body Flicker Technique.

Huo Yuhao's figure instantly vanished. The next second, he appeared directly behind the running Dai Huabin.

He did not slash with his blade, nor did he use any ninjutsu.

Instead, he raised his foot, aimed at Dai Huabin's backside, and viciously kicked out!

Thud!

"Ah!"

Dai Huabin screamed as he was sent flying like a sandbag.

The force behind that kick was controlled perfectly, sending Dai Huabin directly to Zhu Lu's side!

Dai Huabin.

Back then, this was how you kicked Mother.

This kick, I was returning to you!

Watching the two embrace, their faces filled with shock and delight, Huo Yuhao lowered his foot and remained where he was without taking the opportunity to attack.

Next, when you are at your most hopeful, I will drag you down into the depths of despair!
