"Ah Yin!"

Tang Hao shouted in alarm, ready to smash Li Pu to death in his fury.

"You wretched thing, die!"

Li Pu pulled out a Bun Bomb and casually tossed it. Unaware of Li Pu's peculiar ability, Tang Hao assumed it was an ordinary bun.

Tang Hao didn't think much of it. He raised his other hand, intending to knock it away, but the instant the Bun Bomb touched him, it exploded violently. His forearm was reduced to a bloody mess.

"Tang Hao, this is over," Li Pu said coolly.

"Despicable!" Tang Hao gritted his teeth.

Ah Yin was frantic with worry. She hadn't expected Li Pu to have such a trick up his sleeve. "Let Brother Hao go, and spare our child. I'll go with you and face your judgment."

At her words, Tang Hao grew even more frantic. How could his wife go with people from Spirit Hall? "Ah Yin, don't!"

Before he could approach, Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass bound him in place.

Li Pu told Ah Yin, "You should know this child can't be allowed to live. A human-beast hybrid—no one on this continent could tolerate his existence. His birth was a mistake. Besides, letting Tang Hao go is out of the question. A Titled Douluo is far too dangerous."

"Why can't you just let Brother Hao go? I'm willing to return with you." Ah Yin looked at him pleadingly, unable to understand.

Li Pu could hardly laugh or cry. "Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be deaf? Things have come this far. No faction would ever allow a threat to remain, least of all a Titled Douluo!"

Ah Yin lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears. After a long moment, she said, "Could you let Brother Hao and me say one last goodbye?"

"...All right."

Li Pu hadn't wanted to agree, but the words slipped out.

Holding little Tang San, Ah Yin walked over to Tang Hao and let him see her one last time.

With deep affection in her eyes, she gave her final farewell. "Brother Hao, I have no regrets about loving you in this life. You should return to an ordinary life now. As for this child, he was right—perhaps he shouldn't have come into this world. If I could, I'd want him to grow up as an ordinary child."

"Ah Yin, no! Don't!"

Tang Hao was in agony. He turned to Qian Xunji. "If she has to die, then I'll die with her! Ah Yin and I will both face Spirit Hall's judgment!"

A love between human and beast, with each willing to die for the other, to live and die together—how moving it should have been.

Unfortunately, no one was moved.

In the eyes of the world, their affair was a depraved, immoral abomination. And worse, they had even had a child.

Qian Xunji looked down at them. "Exactly. You both must face judgment. From the moment you joined together, you should have known this day would come!"

Li Pu narrowed his eyes. Was Qian Xunji also being influenced by the God's Mark?

Ah Yin shook her head vehemently, then slowly rose to her feet. "Every wrong was my fault. I was the one who entered the human world, intending to seize power over humanity. I caused serious consequences and harmed Tang Hao. I should face judgment. No matter what he's done, Tang Hao is innocent. Please spare him!"

"Whatever you want from me, I'll accept. Let this be a trade!"

As everyone let down their guard, Ah Yin suddenly raised both hands and began to Sacrifice. At the same time, Blue Silver Grass sprang from the ground and bound the Spirit Masters standing nearby.

Li Pu reacted quickly and dodged first.

A terrifying wave of hundred-thousand-year Soul Power surged skyward from Ah Yin.

"You'd Sacrifice yourself at any cost? Do you know you'll be reduced to nothing forever?" Qian Xunji exclaimed in shock.

Holding little Tang San, Tang Hao let out a hoarse, anguished cry. "Ah Yin, don't! Go with them. Don't Sacrifice yourself!"

Ah Yin seemed determined, pressing ahead with her Sacrifice without hesitation.

Only Li Pu understood that this was definitely the influence of the God's Mark.

"Stop her! Everyone, attack together!" Qian Xunji shouted. He knew this was also his last chance to eliminate Li Pu. Afterward, he could pin the blame on Tang Hao.

However, the Sacrifice of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast created a powerful force field.

Having been deceived by a Soul Beast, Qian Xunji was instantly consumed by rage. He attacked the glowing barrier with all his might, but to no avail. All he could do was watch Tang Hao's wounds heal rapidly before his eyes.

"No! My Ah Yin!"

Tang Hao cried out in despair!

"Blue grass has no home to call its own; through years of wind and rain, it was blessed by the east wind!"

"Farewell, my love!"

Ah Yin's Sacrifice was astonishingly fast. In less than ten breaths, the hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring fused with Tang Hao, becoming his ninth Soul Ring.

Tang Hao stared at the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and a seed in his hands, consumed by grief. Tears poured down his face as he clutched them tightly, then slowly tucked them against his chest.

His eyes burned with hatred as he glared at Qian Xunji!

Just as he slowly rose, a hand snatched the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and Seed of Life from his grasp!

Li Pu knew that as Tang San's protector, Tang Hao wouldn't die easily. He was bound to survive the crisis before him. To ensure his heir's growth, the Asura God would soon use Tang Hao's Divine Slaughter's Domain to temporarily upgrade it into the Asura Domain and take control of the battle!

All he could do was wait for the right moment and snatch the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone and the Seed of Life that would let Ah Yin be reborn.

Tang Hao never would have guessed that Li Pu was such a sneak. Though he was the weakest one there, he had withstood the shock wave from Ah Yin's Sacrifice and taken advantage of Tang Hao's grief to steal the Soul Bone his wife had left him—and the Seed of Life that was his hope of bringing her back.

With the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and Seed of Life in hand, Li Pu retreated to a safe distance from Tang Hao. What he did next left everyone dumbfounded.

They watched as Li Pu took bite after bite out of the Blue Silver Emperor, chewed it up, and swallowed it. He even ate the Seed of Life.

As he ate, Li Pu circulated his Soul Power to refine them.

What could be more tempting to a Spirit Master than a Soul Bone?

Especially a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone!

Its value spoke for itself.

A tremendously rare Soul Bone was being eaten, bite by bite, by Li Pu.

Normally, Soul Bones were even harder than ordinary bones. Some were as hard as refined iron. Yet this kid was biting one to pieces and swallowing it.

How could anyone not be astonished?

"You—you—you! You ate a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone!"

"It wasn't very tasty, but it sure was great!"

No one knew whether Soul Bones could be eaten. They were usually fused with the person who obtained them, granting greater strength and Soul Power reserves. Who would ever eat one?

Could eating it help someone acquire its Soul Bone Skill more effectively?

Li Pu explained with utter seriousness, "I'm a Food-type Spirit Master. A Food-type Spirit Master can eat anything under heaven. That's perfectly normal, right?"

Was that normal?

It was. Perfectly normal.

At the same time, he sped up the Soul Bone's refinement. The destructive power within the Bun Bomb surged as it absorbed the bone, accelerating the process.

With every word he spoke, the Soul Bone kept grinding between his teeth. The sound reached everyone's ears like a demonic chant, especially Tang Hao's.

Seeing it, hearing the sound of his wife's Soul Bone being crunched and swallowed, Tang Hao's eyes nearly split with rage. Two streams of bloody tears ran down his face.

"Ahhhhhhh—"

"My Ah Yin—"

At that moment, Tang Hao hated Li Pu far more than Qian Xunji.

His wife's Soul Bone, left for him, had been eaten!
