Seeing Li Kai charging toward him, Cen Yu raised his hand with a look of disdain.

In an instant, a strange blood mist surged, and the long spear in his hand began to spin at high speed.

"Hahahaha~ Senior~ enjoy yourself~"

The next second, Cen Yu's figure dissipated, suddenly transforming into a streak of purple light that flashed past.

"Ah--!"

Before Li Kai could even react, a heart-wrenching, bone-deep pain erupted from his right shoulder.

With a shrill scream, his legs went weak, and he collapsed heavily to the ground, his trembling left hand clutching his right shoulder as blood sprayed out.

How... how is this possible...

This sudden turn of events left Hu Liena and the others standing nearby frozen in place, their eyes wide with shock.

They watched as Li Kai's entire right arm was severed from his body, flying rapidly into mid-air.

Before anyone could recover, that severed limb was enveloped by a surging purple soul power, then exploded in the air into a diffuse mist of blood.

Just then, Cen Yu's figure slowly emerged from the hazy blood mist.

Seeing this, Hu Liena quickly said, "Little Junior Brother, don't be impulsive, or it will be very troublesome!"

Even the teacher could not just execute someone at will in Martial Soul City.

But Cen Yu waved his hand lazily, "Senior Sister~ no one in this world can bully me~ nor can anyone humiliate me!"

"Since this senior cares so much about my status as an orphan, then as someone so helpful and understanding, I naturally have to send him to the underworld to experience it too~"

"Of course~ I am quite soft-hearted; if his family comes looking for me, I wouldn't mind sending them to reunite with him~"

Heehee~ I am truly kind~

Thinking this, Cen Yu tightened his grip on his wrist, his figure turning into an afterimage once more, appearing instantly behind Li Kai.

As the spear danced, a hideous wound deep enough to reveal bone appeared on Li Kai's back.

"Ugh, ah!!!"

Another painful scream rang out, and hot blood gushed wildly from the wound, instantly soaking Li Kai's clothes.

Just as several team members thought Li Kai was finished, to their surprise, he relied on a surge of monstrous hatred to force himself to stand up from the ground.

Li Kai's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Cen Yu, "You bitch! I'll kill you!"

As his voice fell, his soul power surged frantically, and the fourth soul ring at his feet suddenly lit up, clearly intending to force a soul skill to finish off Cen Yu in one blow.

"Little Junior Brother! Watch out!"

Seeing this, the expressions of Hu Liena and the other two nearby changed drastically; they instinctively summoned their martial souls, moving to protect Cen Yu.

But Cen Yu didn't give anyone a chance to intervene. He looked at Li Kai and chuckled, "It seems Senior respects me, his junior, quite a lot~"

"Then as a return gift, I shall show some respect to Senior as well~"

As he spoke, the second soul ring at Cen Yu's feet lit up.

"Lotus Rebirth: Sinful Mother!"

In an instant, the youth's aura surged, and the long spear in his hand stabbed directly into Li Kai's martial soul.

"Boom--!"

Li Kai felt a piercing pain strike him, and he threw his head back, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he stumbled and fell.

Under the erosion of that strange purple light, his four soul rings were instantly covered in cracks.

Then, along with the Wild Boar martial soul, they exploded with a roar.

Seeing this, the other team members were terrified, backing away in fear.

"Li... Li Kai was actually crippled?!"

How is this possible?! What kind of monster is this? How can a Soul Grand Master directly shatter the martial soul of a Soul Ancestor?!

Even Li Kai, at level forty-seven, had no power to resist; what about them...

Soon, the competition in front of the Pope Palace ended. Upon hearing the news, Bibi Dong hurried toward the training ground with Yue Guan.

Seeing the blood all over the ground and Cen Yu sitting to the side, covered in blood, the two were terrified and rushed over.

Seeing Bibi Dong, everyone knelt on one knee to salute, "Your Holiness."

Bibi Dong ignored them, looked at the blood on Cen Yu, and flew into a rage, "Who hurt this seat's disciple?"

Yue Guan took out medicinal powder, intending to stop the bleeding for Cen Yu before finding a healing soul master.

But the moment Bibi Dong's words fell, everyone, including Hu Liena, looked at Cen Yu with complex expressions, not knowing how to answer the Pope.

Finally, under the intimidation of Bibi Dong's gaze, Hu Liena braced herself and stood up.

"Teacher, don't worry... Little Junior Brother is not injured."

Hearing this, Yue Guan was stunned, his hand holding the medicinal powder freezing in mid-air.

He looked at the blood-soaked Cen Yu, then at the blood covering the ground, and asked in confusion, "Then what is this?"

Bibi Dong also looked at Hu Liena with a hint of disappointment.

She had not expected that for the sake of shielding someone, Na Na would not even care about her own junior.

Hu Liena sighed and explained the sequence of events to the two of them.

Upon hearing that Li Kai had cursed Cen Yu as an orphan, Bibi Dong's expression darkened instantly as she scanned her surroundings: "Where is that beast?"

As the words fell, the expressions of those present grew complex.

Cen Yu had rested enough by now; he stood up from the ground and said to Bibi Dong, "Master, please issue a death pension to his family."

"Just put the money on my tab; I will pay you back when I have it later."

"What?" Bibi Dong was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Hu Liena sighed and pointed to the blood on the ground: "Teacher, Li Kai is right here."

"..."

Realizing what had happened, Bibi Dong fell silent, and Yue Guan fell silent as well.

Cen Yu continued, "Master, in this world, no one can bully me, nor can anyone insult me."

"If he hadn't said those things, I would have even offered him compensation, but he just had to say them."

Bibi Dong was about to scold him, but when she turned her head and saw the stubborn look in the youth's eyes, she fell silent again.

Yue Guan let out a cold snort: "This Li Kai actually dared to say such things to a junior?"

Cen Yu's family had been slaughtered not long ago, and the culprits had yet to be caught. For Li Kai to say such things at a time like this was no different from twisting a knife in someone's heart.

Besides, he was unlucky enough to run into Cen Yu while his dark side was awake; how could he possibly survive that?

After a moment of silence, Bibi Dong sighed.

Forget it, this could not be blamed on him; if it were her, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold back either.

Immediately, she cast a sharp gaze toward the remaining members of the team.

In an instant, the group hurriedly knelt, bowing their heads in unison: "Your Excellency Pope! We saw nothing, and we have no idea what Li Kai went to do..."

Only then was Bibi Dong satisfied: "You may withdraw for now."

The group nodded frantically: "As you command... Your Excellency Pope, this disciple takes their leave..."

After they had left, Bibi Dong looked at Cen Yu and said helplessly, "You, oh you... in a few days, the Fallen Ones who were captured will be escorted back to Martial Soul City for trial."

"I believe those criminals cannot escape the grasp of Martial Soul Hall; you will be able to avenge your family soon."
