Toying with Zhao Wuji-Huang Yan: A Mere Soul Saint Is Nothing Special! (Please Keep Reading!)

Zhao Wuji let out a roar as the first and second Spirit Rings on his body lit up at the same time.

His thick arms whooshed through the air with enough force to tear it apart, swinging straight at Huang Yan.

"Die, brat!"

Faced with Zhao Wuji charging at him, Huang Yan didn't meet his attack head-on.

A clear, piercing phoenix cry rang out.

Dazzling golden light burst from within him as the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul instantly possessed him.

A pair of brilliant golden flame wings unfurled behind Huang Yan.

He beat his wings once, and his entire body turned into a streak of golden light.

He flew straight through the gap in the railing that Zhao Wuji had smashed open, hovering in midair outside the tavern.

Zhao Wuji's attack missed. He looked up at Huang Yan, who had flown outside, and let out a contemptuous laugh.

"What? Weren't you acting so tough just now?

Now you're scared and running away?

Too late!

You could run to the ends of the earth, and I'd still drag you back!"

Hovering in midair, Huang Yan looked down at Zhao Wuji and scoffed as if he were an idiot.

"Run away?

You're imagining things.

I just didn't want to tear this tavern down and hurt innocent people.

Unlike you thugs from Shrek Academy, I don't fight without a care for anyone else's lives."

Just like that.

He could stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at Zhao Wuji and the others!

At those words, Zhao Wuji froze, then instinctively looked around.

Only then did he suddenly notice.

The once-bustling tavern hall was now completely empty.

The commotion had scared all the guests away.

Following Huang Yan's gaze, he saw the tavern owner and waiter huddled behind the counter in the corner, trembling with fear.

They stared at him, a murderous fiend in their eyes, with utter despair.

Zhao Wuji's old face stiffened, but his embarrassment quickly turned to even more violent anger.

He, the mighty Immovable Wisdom King, a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, had just been lectured in public by some young punk from the moral high ground!

"Quit acting like some big shot!"

Zhao Wuji rudely cut Huang Yan off, his face full of malice as he sneered.

"Why should I care whether a few ordinary people live or die?

The Soul Master World is all about the strong preying on the weak. If they're unlucky, they have only themselves to blame!"

With that, Zhao Wuji pushed off with both legs and shot into the air like a cannonball.

He smashed straight through half of the tavern's already tottering wall and crashed heavily onto the street outside.

"Rumble!"

The blue stone slabs beneath him cracked into two deep pits, sending rubble flying.

Zhao Wuji pointed up at Huang Yan and roared.

"If you want a more spacious place to get beaten, I'll grant your wish!

Get down here and meet your death! I'll break every bone in your body and make you pay for Mu Bai!"

Huang Yan hovered in place, his golden flame wings beating slowly behind him. His eyes brimmed with scorn.

"The strong prey on the weak?

What a fine principle.

Since you believe in it so much, then prove it with your strength."

Huang Yan paused, a mocking curve lifting the corner of his mouth.

"But you want me to come down?

You're a clumsy bear who can't even fly. What makes you think you're worthy?

If you've got what it takes, come up here yourself."

"You little brat, you're too arrogant!"

Zhao Wuji was so furious that he laughed. The third purple Spirit Ring on his body suddenly blazed with light, and his roar rang through the street.

"You think flying up there means I can't do anything to you?

Third Soul Skill, Gravity Enhancement!

Get down here!"

Faced with the terrifying gravity that descended without warning, enough to crush boulders into powder, Huang Yan showed no sign of falling. Instead, he let out a disdainful laugh.

"Gravity?

You call that pathetic trick enough to drag a phoenix into the mud?"

Huang Yan looked down at Zhao Wuji, golden light blazing in his eyes, his voice dripping with absolute arrogance.

"Old Blind Bear, open your damn eyes and see what true power looks like!"

The instant the words left his mouth—

"Vmmm!"

A sacred, scorching aura erupted around Huang Yan.

Brilliant golden light swept outward like a tsunami, instantly covering the sky for hundreds of meters in every direction.

Phoenix Domain, activate!

Within that golden domain,

Zhao Wuji's vaunted Gravity Enhancement was like snow beneath the blazing sun.

It was brutally dispelled in an instant, vanishing without a trace!

Zhao Wuji felt his body suddenly grow light as the Soul Power pressure bearing down on Huang Yan was instantly erased.

His bell-like eyes flew wide as he stared at the sacred golden space in the sky.

His face looked as if he'd seen a ghost as he cried out.

"A domain?!

How is this possible?!

How could a brat who hasn't even grown his body hair have a domain skill?!"

Bathed in golden light, Huang Yan looked like a god descending from the heavens. A mocking smile curled his lips.

"Frog in a well.

There's plenty you haven't seen!

Now it's my turn!"

Before Huang Yan had even finished speaking, his golden flame wings beat fiercely.

The golden light gathered in an instant, turning into countless solid golden feathers of flame.

They shot down at Zhao Wuji in a blinding, sweeping rain, carrying heat terrifying enough to burn everything to ashes.

"Big words from a brat!"

Zhao Wuji roared as the first Spirit Ring on his body blazed.

"First Soul Skill, Immovable Wisdom King Body!

Let's see if your few bird feathers can break through my defenses!"

Brilliant golden light instantly gathered around Zhao Wuji, forming a gigantic golden bear phantom that shielded him completely.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dense golden feathers of flame hammered against the golden bear phantom in a raging downpour, unleashing a series of deafening explosions.

"You think this little bit of power can—Gah!"

Zhao Wuji had just started to sneer when his expression suddenly changed.

The golden flames clung to the protective golden light without dissipating.

Instead, they burned like leeches, rapidly devouring even his Soul Power with their terrifying heat!

"What in the world is this fire?!"

Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth. Beads of sweat instantly formed on his forehead, and he felt as though the air around him was about to catch fire.

In midair, Huang Yan folded his arms and looked down at Zhao Wuji, who was struggling to hold out, his eyes full of amusement.

"What's wrong?

Is the mighty Immovable Wisdom King only good for hiding in his shell and getting roasted?

Where did that arrogant 'picking on the weak' attitude go?"

Huang Yan gave a cold laugh, making no effort to hide the mockery in his voice.

"Didn't you say the bigger fist makes the rules?

With you looking like such a wretched bear, what makes you think you can lecture me?"

Enraged by his words, Zhao Wuji's eyes turned bloodshot, and he let out a savage roar.

He pounded his chest with both fists, and the fifth, deep-black Spirit Ring on his body suddenly lit up.

"You little brat, don't get too full of yourself!

You think a few weird tricks mean you can shit on a Soul Saint's head?!

Fifth Soul Skill, Gravity Squeeze!

I'll crush you right out of the sky today!"
