The instant he heard that voice, Yu Tianshuo knew who it was.
Without the slightest hesitation, he activated Martial Soul Possession.
"Yellow, purple-gold, golden-brown, golden-green."
Four Soul Rings appeared around Yu Tianshuo.
Just as Yu Tianlei sensed danger and turned around in shock, a fist as big as a sandbag was about to smash into his head.
But in the next instant, a figure appeared in front of Yu Tianlei, blocking the fatal blow for him.
"Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black."
Seven Soul Rings revolved around the newcomer, but they were no use. Yu Tianshuo's punch, delivered without using a Soul Skill, smashed the man's entire arm and right chest into a bloody pulp.
Even so, the man didn't die outright. He grabbed Yu Tianlei and made several instantaneous jumps, trying to flee the scene.
Yu Tianshuo gave a cold snort. The golden-green fourth Soul Ring flared brightly, and in an instant, Yu Tianshuo appeared in front of the figure that had nearly escaped.
Another punch, and the man was blasted to pieces. The force also struck Yu Tianlei, who had been in his arms, tearing off one arm and an ear with the gale before reducing them to pulp.
Just as Yu Tianshuo was about to deliver the killing blow, a stern voice filled with fury rang out behind him.
"Enough!"
The words, carried by Soul Power, slammed into Yu Tianshuo and sent him flying forward. He only came to a stop when he crashed into a wall.
The newcomer was none other than Yu Yuanzhen, clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Seeing the scene before him, he was overcome with fury. But before he could say anything, another figure wreathed in purple lightning leapt out from behind him and charged at Yu Tianshuo.
The figure shouted as he charged.
"How dare you hurt my Lei'er! I'll take your life!"
Purple Lightning Demon Dragon Martial Soul Possession.
"Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black."
Eight Soul Rings shone brilliantly as the Seventh and Eighth Soul Skills were unleashed.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Purple Lightning Demon Dragon True Body!"
"Eighth Soul Skill, Furious Dragon's Roar!"
In an instant, he flashed into the thick fog where Yu Tianshuo stood.
Two flashes of light burst through the fog, and Yu Luomian came flying out of it.
But it wasn't over. Yu Tianshuo flew out of the fog as well and struck Yu Luomian as he hurtled through the air.
"Dragon Roar Wave!"
Accompanied by Yu Tianshuo's dragon roar, Yu Luomian—and even Yu Yuanzhen behind him—nearly lost their footing and fell to their knees.
Yu Yuanzhen stared blankly, unable to believe what had just happened.
Before he could think further, Yu Tianshuo was already chasing Yu Luomian, about to reach him.
He tried to reach out and pull Yu Luomian back, but he was a step too late.
Right before Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, Yu Tianshuo pierced Yu Luomian's chest with a claw, splashing blood across Yu Yuanzhen's face.
Yu Yuanzhen stared dumbly at the scene, his throat as if blocked by something, unable to utter a word.
He watched as Yu Tianshuo pulled his hand out of Yu Luomian's "corpse." Without even glancing at Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianshuo turned and walked toward Yu Tianlei.
Even when Yu Tianshuo grabbed Yu Tianlei by the head and lifted him up in front of himself, Yu Yuanzhen still stood there, stunned.
The Dragon Might had been terrifying. It had left him feeling helpless and despairing, unable even to think of resisting. All he could do was let Yu Tianshuo do as he pleased.
But Yu Tianshuo's icy words made him shudder and pulled him out of his fear.
"This is just the interest. I'll take back the rest, little by little."
With that, right in front of Yu Yuanzhen, he crushed Yu Tianlei's head. Blood splashed across Yu Yuanzhen's face once more.
Just after Yu Tianshuo crushed Yu Tianlei's head, Yu Luomian's corpse suddenly moved.
The Soul Ring above the "corpse" flashed again. Yu Tianlei, whose head had already been crushed, turned into Yu Luomian, while Yu Tianlei's whole, unharmed body appeared where Yu Luomian had been.
But the very next instant, Yu Tianlei's body began to glow.
Just as he was about to vanish, Yu Tianshuo wielded Ultimate Wind and, in an instant, shredded Yu Tianlei into pieces once more.
With Yu Tianlei's death, the white light that signaled the teleportation gradually faded.
Yu Tianshuo turned to look at the furious Yu Yuanzhen and grinned.
With his bloodied dragon claw, he patted Yu Yuanzhen's gloomy old face and said with a smile,
"How could a mere spatial teleportation make me leave empty-handed? Remember this, old fool: this is just the interest. I'll collect the rest, little by little."
After that, he paid the old fool Yu Yuanzhen no more attention. He nodded to Dugu Bo, who was drinking milk behind Yu Yuanzhen, then turned and walked toward Na'er and Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan had been a little frightened by what had just happened. When Yu Tianshuo approached, she ignored the blood on him and threw her arms around him. She said nothing, but her body trembled slightly.
Na'er showed no particular emotion. She only looked at Yu Tianshuo in confusion and asked,
"Why didn't you kill that old man too?"
Hearing Na'er's question, he smiled. After wiping the blood from his hand on his clothes, he ruffled Na'er's hair and said,
"Some things are only satisfying when you handle them yourself. What kind of revenge would it be if Master did it for me?"
With that, he picked Na'er up and headed for his room in the imperial palace, one on each side.
Dugu Bo watched the scene and curled his lip. It wasn't that he hadn't killed Yu Yuanzhen because he wanted to take revenge himself. The boy's sadistic streak had clearly kicked in—he wanted those people to live in fear a while longer.
Dugu Bo pulled his dragon tail out of Yu Yuanzhen's body. He paid no mind to the stunned man and strolled away, sipping his milk.
Seeing Dugu Bo leave so casually, everyone who had just arrived after hearing the commotion swallowed hard and hurriedly made way for him.
As Dugu Bo gradually disappeared from sight, everyone turned their eyes back to Yu Yuanzhen.
But what shocked them even more was that, under everyone's gaze, Yu Yuanzhen fell heavily onto his back and passed out.
Only when someone shouted for the imperial physician did everyone finally recover from the shock.
Ning Fengzhi had seen the whole thing. From the moment Yu Tianshuo started beating Yu Tianlei, Uncle Gu had brought him over.
At the time, Uncle Gu had said there'd be a good show, but he hadn't believed him.
Now he did. It had been a spectacular show, and an utterly shocking one at that.
A young man with a bizarre Soul Ring configuration had killed Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother right in front of him, even though the man had just broken through to Soul Douluo. The brother's son had also been killed before his eyes.
And it had all been done by a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor who had slain an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo. This was truly an earth-shaking event, one that would astound the ages.
