Severing Ma Hongjun's Root of Sin

Ma Hongjun opened the wine bottle and held the liquid in his mouth.

Just as Dugu Yan's purple poison was about to reach Ma Hongjun.

"First Spirit Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!" The wine sprayed out along with the flames in his mouth, and the purple poison vanished the moment it made contact.

Dugu Yan covered her red lips and exclaimed, "What! My poison can actually be countered like this!"

She had considered that this spirit skill of hers might be countered in various ways, such as by dodging or forcibly dispersing it with spirit power.

But she never imagined it would be countered in such a manner.

"Hahaha! Third Brother is truly clever; I never thought that some of a poison spirit master's toxins could be countered like this either."

Dai Mubai, however, was somewhat vigilant and warned, "Alright, she is a poison spirit master after all; don't capsize in the gutter."

"You got it, Boss Dai."

Ma Hongjun pulled something that looked like a crossbow out of nowhere.

"Watch out!" Ye Lingling warned.

"That is the very thing that injured us."

Dugu Yan immediately circulated her spirit power, preparing to resist.

She could not dodge, because Ye Lingling and the others were right behind her; if she moved, they would be injured again.

"Little lady, watch out!"

Ma Hongjun pulled the trigger, and in an instant, several crossbow bolts shot rapidly toward Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan concentrated all her spirit power in front of her to defend. "Bang!"

"What!" Her spirit power barrier, which was nearly level forty, was pierced through directly.

She instinctively wanted to dodge, but the moment she thought of the people behind her, she braced herself and took the attack head-on.

"What kind of poison is this? How can it spread so quickly?"

Even as a poison spirit master herself, she had never seen such an overbearing toxin, aside from those used by her grandfather.

The toxin spread rapidly across her body.

The circulation of her spirit power was restricted, and she felt the world spinning before her eyes.

Her complexion turned visibly pale, and unable to stand steadily, she collapsed to the ground.

Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together and slowly walked forward.

"Hehe, do you feel weak all over now, like you have no strength left?"

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you."

"Boss Dai, I've decided to swap; I'll take her."

Dai Mubai was already impatiently undoing his buttons. "Fine, suit yourself."

Dugu Yan, lying on the ground, endured the agony and said, "You wouldn't dare! My grandfather is Dugu Bo!"

"What kind of bullsh*t Dugu Bo is that? Never heard of him."

"My grandfather is a Title Douluo! If you dare to touch me, you will wish you were dead!"

Dai Mubai looked at her with disdain. "Just because you say your grandfather is a Title Douluo, he actually is?"

"Besides, even if your grandfather really were a Title Douluo, so what?"

"With Little San's Corpse Melting Powder, you won't even have a corpse left in a moment."

"Who would know it was us?"

At this moment, Dugu Yan lay on the ground, devoid of strength, her entire body consumed by the spreading toxin.

Ma Hongjun slowly loosened her collar.

Dugu Yan's eyes turned red, and tears slid down her cheeks.

"Yo-ho, not bad at all." Her pinkish-white undergarment was revealed, and her proud bosom was nearly bursting out.

Ma Hongjun immediately reached his hand toward Dugu Yan's pink garment.

Just as he was about to make contact, a sword, moving so fast that only a blur remained, pointed directly at Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun reacted immediately. "Who dares to ambush me!"

He summoned his martial soul to block in front of him, but everything happened too suddenly, and the sword pierced directly through Ma Hongjun's shoulder.

"Ah! You're courting death!"

Dai Mubai reacted slightly faster, though his throat was grazed, breaking the skin.

"Who is it!"

A figure flashed to Dugu Yan's side and scooped her up into his arms.

Dugu Yan was startled, thinking she had fallen into the clutches of another monster, but the man's signature long white hair allowed her to recognize him at a glance.

It was Ye Yuan, who had rushed over in a hurry.

At this moment, Ye Yuan lacked the carefree and devil-may-care attitude Dugu Yan had seen when they first met.

His eyes revealed coldness and fury.

He began to summon the Ice and Fire Power within his body to detoxify Dugu Yan.

As for the others, Ye Yuan had checked them with his soul power; they were not deeply poisoned and would not die for a while, so he could deal with them later.

Dugu Yan, however, was in a worse state; the poison from the crossbow bolts had weakened the soul power inside her.

This caused the toxins that had accumulated in her body to erupt, leaving Dugu Yan teetering on the edge of life and death.

She was the person Dugu Bo cared about most; if anything happened to her, even if Ye Yuan had nothing to do with the incident, Old Poison would surely blame him for not rescuing her in time.

He would likely skin him alive.

Under the influence of the Ice and Fire Power within Ye Yuan, the poison in Dugu Yan's body was temporarily suppressed.

"Brother, if you want to join in, you have to wait in line."

"If you're here to cause trouble, then don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Ye Yuan held Dugu Yan, his tone icy as he said, "You really are animals; no, you're worse than animals."

"Even animals know not to think with their lower bodies, and they know not to be too cruel to their own kind."

Ma Hongjun roared in anger, "It is their honor for me to favor them."

"These common soul masters and those ordinary people are all the same; they should be there for me to enjoy!"

"This is something tacitly approved by the Dean and Grandmaster!"

Upon hearing this, the rage in Ye Yuan's heart grew even more intense.

He hated the feeling in this world where soul masters stood above ordinary people, and he was sick of the rules where nobles treated commoners like livestock.

He thought of the Heavenly Court he had built in his dreams... no, it should have been in his past life.

At this moment, his desire to build the Heavenly Court reached its peak.

Dai Mubai stepped forward at this time and said, "Friend, we are from Shrek Academy."

"May I ask who you are?"

Ye Yuan sneered and said, "What? Trying to probe my background?"

Because Ye Yuan had awakened the Candle Dragon Emperor, his appearance had undergone a massive change.

Furthermore, his once black hair had turned into the white hair he had now, so Dai Mubai naturally did not recognize him.

However, Dai Mubai could sense the intense killing intent Ye Yuan held toward him.

He was somewhat puzzled, as he had racked his brain for a long time and could not recall ever seeing this person, let alone offending him.

"Since you want to know so badly, what does it matter if I tell you?"

"My name is Yuan Ye, a common soul master with no background."

Upon hearing this answer, the worry in Dai Mubai's heart vanished instantly.

A wild soul master with no power or background dared to offend them, Shrek?

"Fatty, do it, break his limbs."

"I want to torture him properly."

"Understood, Boss Dai."

The blood on Ma Hongjun's shoulder had been staunched, and he flexed his shoulder.

Ever since Ye Yuan reached level thirty-nine, he discovered that he could actually control the toxins on his sword.

His poison had already invaded the bodies of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun; as long as he wished, he could trigger the toxins within them at any time.

As for why he didn't let it take effect now, it was purely to teach them a lesson. If possible, Ye Yuan wanted to torture them thoroughly before killing them.

What would happen if he severed their limbs and threw them in front of the people they had once bullied?

"Come on, kid, let me show you how powerful your grandpa is."

"Third Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!"

A pair of wings made of flames appeared behind Ma Hongjun, granting him the ability to fly briefly.

"Kid, remember to take a detour next time you see your grandpa in your next life!"

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!"

A stream of fire erupted from his mouth, shooting toward Ye Yuan.

"Since you like women so much, I'll let you experience what it feels like to be a woman."

He decided to change his plan; he would not kill Ma Hongjun just yet.

After all, this brat had bullied many people over the years and acted tyrannically; letting him die just like that would be too kind to him.

Ye Yuan aimed his sword directly at Ma Hongjun's crotch, "First Soul Skill, River Severing!"

"Dead fatty, I heard there is a brothel in Heaven Dou Imperial City built specifically for nobles with a penchant for the same sex."

"Once I sever your wicked root, I'll send you there to spend the rest of your life in comfort and enjoy yourself properly."
