Thud~~

Dai Mubai crashed to the ground and rolled twice, his body coated in dust. He passed out on the spot, his life hanging in the balance.

The first two times Qian Pingchuan had kicked him flying, Dai Mubai hadn't spat blood. But this time, a foot suddenly appeared in front of him and kicked him flying, making him spit blood as his chest caved in!

Yu Tianshu drew back his foot and gave a cold laugh. "It seems you didn't listen to a word I said! I told you, if anyone dares to stop me, I'll kill you. That's all there is to it! Did you think I was talking out of my ass?!"

"Boss Dai..."

Ma Hongjun cried out anxiously, but his legs felt heavy. He couldn't make himself move, and didn't dare rush over to check Dai Mubai's injuries.

"Dai Mubai!" Flender was even more worried about his injuries. Dai Mubai was a prince of the Star Luo Empire. If he died at Shrek, their academy might not be able to stay open!

"How dare you!"

Liu Erlong roared and charged forward without a second thought!

Yu Tianshu hesitated for a moment, then caught Liu Erlong's attack with one hand.

If it had been anyone else, Yu Tianshu would have counterattacked without hesitation! But Liu Erlong was the Doppelganger of his aunt, Liu Erfeng! And since almost all of the Blue Lightning Family's direct line had died in the Immortal Court, he had been raised by his aunt from childhood. Their bond ran deep!

Thud, thud, thud~~

Yu Tianshu blocked a few attacks, but Liu Erlong forced him back more than ten meters.

"Dai Mubai! Dai Mubai! Wake up!" Zhao Wuji shouted anxiously as he examined Dai Mubai's injuries. He shoved Sugar Beans and Big Sausages into his mouth, but it was no use! The life force inside Dai Mubai was rapidly draining away. Even though he was unconscious, blood kept pouring from his nose and mouth.

Nearby, a healing-type Soul Master recalled their Martial Soul and shook their head. "His injuries are too severe. Broken ribs have pierced his lungs and heart! Even a Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master couldn't save him!"

"H-how could this happen?" Zhao Wuji and Flender were both stunned, as if struck by lightning! A prince of the Star Luo Empire had just been kicked to death!

Zhao Wuji suddenly turned toward Yu Tianshu and shouted furiously, "You actually killed Dai Mubai! I'll kill you!"

"What? Boss Dai... He... he's dead?" Ma Hongjun's legs went weak with fear. His good buddy, who had gone to the pleasure quarter with him just yesterday, had been kicked to death!

Nearby, Oscar opened his mouth, his face deathly pale, but couldn't utter a word.

Ning Rongrong was so frightened she staggered backward several steps, her heart filled with shock!

Even though she was the lawless little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and had once threatened to have Dai Mubai killed, she wouldn't actually dare kill him just like that! Dai Mubai was a prince of the Star Luo Empire!

Zhu Zhuqing was just as stricken, her face drained of color!

She had thought about escaping the damned imperial succession struggle, hiding in some corner of the continent, and even fighting to the death if need be. But she had never dared imagine that the battle for the throne would begin with Dai Mubai dying right in front of her!

Even more fear rose in Yu Xiaogang's heart!

That was a prince of the Star Luo Empire! When it came to status, Dai Mubai ranked far above Yu Xiaogang. Someone with such a background had been kicked to death? What was Yu Xiaogang worth?!

And that wasn't all!

Tang San, the son of Clear Sky Douluo, had nearly been killed too!

These people are completely lawless! They don't care about anything!

Yu Xiaogang instinctively tried to make himself less noticeable. He stood quietly where he was, not daring to speak again.

At that moment.

Hearing that Dai Mubai had died, Liu Erlong's fury burned even hotter. "Sixth Soul Skill: Explosive Fire Dragon Dash!"

In the next instant, Liu Erlong's speed surged more than threefold. But the very next second, her attack was stopped with a bang by Feng Xiaodi, who had suddenly stepped in and blocked it with one punch.

Feng Xiaodi teased, "Let me handle this. Anyone can see you can't bring yourself to do it!"

In the Immortal Court, the Blue Lightning Family's tragedy was no secret. Nor was it a secret that Yu Tianshu and Liu Erfeng, the hot-tempered chief instructor of the Vanguard Battalion, were aunt and nephew.

Yu Tianshu didn't deny that he couldn't bring himself to hurt her. He cautioned Feng Xiaodi, "Don't hurt her."

"Relax. I won't use my Martial Soul!"

Yu Tianshu left the battle. The very next second, Feng Xiaodi kicked Liu Erlong flying, right in the stomach!

"Feng Xiaodi!!!"

"Ha... hahaha... Sorry, sorry! But don't worry, you're definitely not hurt!"

Liu Erlong was indeed unharmed, but her blood and qi had surged violently, and she was having a miserable time of it.

After roaring, Zhao Wuji immediately released his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, activated Position Tracking, and shouted, "Boss Fu, let's attack together! We can't let Dai Mubai's death go unanswered!"

Flender's Soul Power was surging inside him. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead! His clenched fists trembled slightly with rage. He was furious beyond measure! But his legs wouldn't obey him; they felt as if they'd been filled with lead.

"Boss Fu!"

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji called out in disappointment. He immediately activated his Martial Soul Avatar and charged forward, fists raised.

Bang!

Without a word, Yu Tianshu lashed out with a kick, sending Zhao Wuji flying.

"Old Zhao!" Flender didn't dare attack, but he did dare to rescue Zhao Wuji! They were old friends, after all. Luckily, Zhao Wuji was tough as nails. Yu Tianshu's kick had only left Zhao Wuji's right arm bright red and swelling by the second.

"Old Zhao! How are you?"

Zhao Wuji clutched his arm and gritted his teeth through the pain. "He's strong! My right arm bone is broken!"

The Vajra Bear's defense ranked among the best of all Soul Masters. Zhao Wuji had even activated his Martial Soul Avatar, and yet Yu Tianshu had still kicked his right arm bone clean through... Flender was stunned all over again and grew even more wary!

Flender tried to reason with him. "Old Zhao, we're nowhere near their level. Besides, they aren't trying to wipe us all out! Let's not make any more pointless sacrifices!"

"But Dai Mubai..." Zhao Wuji's anger was trapped in his chest, making him feel awful.

"Teacher Zhao..."

The gravely wounded Tang San still wanted to say something. Beside him, Tang Hao knitted his brows slightly, rapidly assessing the situation.

A Soul Douluo with a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had fought him to a draw, and now another powerful expert with an unknown Martial Soul had appeared! Add to that the two masked guards who still hadn't joined the fight, and the burly man who was clearly the strongest among them... These people really were lawless! They had nearly killed Tang San right in front of him, and now they had kicked Dai Mubai to death without a moment's hesitation!

Even former Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji wouldn't have dared kill people so recklessly!

Tang Hao felt that he was in grave danger today!

And now that he had revealed his whereabouts, people from Spirit Hall would surely come looking for him. Tang San could no longer keep studying at Shrek.

"Phew~" Tang Hao let out a deep breath. He had already decided to leave.

"Xiao San." Tang Hao spoke softly. "We can't stay in Heaven Dou City any longer... I'll take you away."

"Leave Shrek?" Tang San was weak, but after a moment's hesitation, he decided to leave with his father! Then Tang San's gaze smoothly skipped over Zhu Zhuqing, who he had just called a friend, and landed on Xiao Wu.

Zhu Zhuqing? Who was Zhu Zhuqing?

Tang San had eyes only for Xiao Wu. He had long since forgotten everyone at Shrek. He didn't even spare another glance at Dai Mubai, whose corpse had yet to grow cold.

"Dad, Xiao Wu is my little sister! Let's take her with us!"

"Mm!"

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

They were a bunch of killing gods!

No one from Shrek dared speak again. They were all trembling with fear!

The onlookers were even more afraid of getting caught in the crossfire. Even the Tiandou Empire's guards, who had hurried over, didn't dare intervene after seeing Dai Mubai kicked to death! They simply waited where they were for Emperor Xue Ye's orders. A prince of the empire had died; what were the guards worth?

Hu Lieni walked toward Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhu Zhuqing, come with us."

"I..." Zhu Zhuqing hesitated and looked back at Dai Mubai's dead body. It wasn't that she was reluctant to see Dai Mubai dead; she was worried about the trouble waiting for her!

Dai Mubai was dead, and she had gone off with his killers... Zhu Zhuqing didn't need to think hard to know what lay ahead: a life of blood and blades, with the Star Luo Empire hunting her down with all its might!

Hu Lieni smiled and tried to reassure her. "We know your background. You don't need to worry about any of that! It's just a little trouble. We can deal with it with a wave of our hands."

"Breathe in... breathe out... Mm! I'll go with you! Even if the Star Luo Empire hunts me down for it, I accept that! Also, could you please stop making trouble for my classmates and teachers?"

After taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuqing looked calmly at all her classmates and teachers, then finally made up her mind!

Whoosh~!

Suddenly, just as everyone's attention was on Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Hao snatched up Tang San, reached for Xiao Wu, and vanished in a flash!

"Who said you could leave?"

Suddenly!

A deep voice rang out in midair. Xiong Jun stood there with his arms crossed, his towering frame and bulging muscles radiating an invisible menace.

Tang Hao's figure appeared in front of Xiong Jun. He cried out in alarm, "So you really are a Titled Douluo!"

It was common knowledge that Titled Douluo could fly.

Xiong Jun looked down at Tang Hao and said in a deep voice, "Leave this little rabbit behind, and I'll let you keep your whole body!"

"Bear Venerable, Blue Silver Emperor still has a seed. We need to find out where it is!" Qian Pingchuan hurriedly called out, afraid that even a moment's delay would leave Xiong Jun having already slapped Tang Hao to death.

At that, Xiong Jun changed his offer. "Leave this little rabbit behind and tell me where the Blue Silver Emperor's seed is, and you and your son can live!"

Tang Hao sneered. "Don't be so sure you can back up that big talk! If you want to stop me, you'll have to see whether you can..."

Boom!

Before Tang Hao could finish speaking, Xiong Jun had already raised his palm. In the next instant, a gigantic paw made of Soul Power swept down, blotting out the sky! The entire void trembled, and the spectators scrambled more than a hundred meters back!

"Gulp~"

Feeling the pressure, Tang Hao swallowed instinctively. He immediately carried Tang San on his back, held Xiao Wu in his left hand, and gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in his right. Five Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet: black, black, black, black, boom!

Boom! Boom!

Two black Soul Rings in a row exploded. Their violent Soul Power instantly flooded into his body, and currents of electricity crackled across the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Clear Sky True Body! Clear Sky Nine Ultimates: Collapse Formula!"

Tang Hao still had his last three Soul Rings. That meant he could still use Clear Sky True Body.

Rumble~!

The giant paw and the Clear Sky Hammer clashed violently, their impact deafening! Everyone watching instinctively retreated several hundred meters farther, afraid of being caught in the shock waves.

A few breaths later, the smoke cleared, revealing a scene of utter devastation.

Tang Hao, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were all pinned to the ground. Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood. His old injuries hadn't healed, and now he had suffered new ones! He had no strength left to fight.

Xiong Jun had judged the force of that blow perfectly: enough to leave Tang Hao dumbfounded, but not brain-damaged!

He had just enough force to cripple Tang Hao's ability to move, without killing him.

Xiong Jun walked toward the three of them, one step at a time, and asked, "Where is the Blue Silver Emperor's seed?"

Tang Hao held his breath and glared at Xiong Jun, furious. "Ah Yin is my wife! She died for me! I'd rather die than tell you!"

"Is that so?"

Xiong Jun grabbed Tang San by the throat and asked again, "Where is the Blue Silver Emperor's seed?"

"Stop! Let Xiao San go!"

"Heh~" Xiong Jun tightened his grip. Tang San rolled his eyes. Only then did he sneer and ask, "One last time: where is the Blue Silver Emperor's seed?!"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Let Xiao San go first!"

At that, Xiong Jun released Tang San and looked at Tang Hao with a disdainful smile.

"Cough, cough, cough~~" Tang San had already been gravely wounded and was on the brink of death. Being strangled had nearly cost him half his remaining life. His body was completely limp.
