A One-Sword Instant Kill on a Soul Emperor, Prince Xue Xing Loses All Face

After the ages of his soul rings and his soul power rose, Chu Hao's strength underwent another qualitative leap.

The Hades Sword in his hand turned lightly, and his second purple soul ring flashed as an invisible evil sound spread out once more.

The personal guard squad that had only just come back to their senses fell for it again.

Chu Hao knew the effect of Soul-Shaking Evil Sound might not be as good the second time.

The instant he released the soul skill, he thrust his sword at the nearest Soul King, piercing straight through his chest.

He pulled the sword free, and blood gushed out.

Another powerful Soul King died at Chu Hao's hands.

Standing atop the city wall, Prince Xue Xing watched the scene before him, grief and fury twisting his heart.

These nine personal guards had been raised by him since they were young. He had deep feelings for them, and they had once completed one difficult mission after another for him, rendering countless merits.

Now three of them had been directly slain by Chu Hao. How could his heart not ache?

"Dongfang Qun, kill him at once."

Prince Xue Xing did not want to see any more of his personal guards being slaughtered, and immediately gave an order to the gaunt man whose martial soul was the Golden Needle.

This man was the captain of his personal guards, a rank sixty-three Soul Emperor. His Golden Needle techniques were miraculous, capable of taking a person's head from a thousand meters away.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Dongfang Qun heard the order and hurriedly acted.

To end the battle quickly and avoid letting Chu Hao use that strange soul skill again, he decisively used his sixth soul skill.

The pitch-black soul ring erupted with a deep, inky darkness.

In moments, that darkness was replaced by gleaming streaks of brilliant gold.

Immediately afterward, countless golden needles hovered around Chu Hao.

"Go!"

Dongfang Qun pointed gently with his right hand, and the surrounding golden needles shot out like a swarm of bees, trying to turn Chu Hao into a honeycomb.

The corner of Chu Hao's mouth curled coldly. Powerful slaughter sword energy erupted from within him, condensing into a thick layer of sword aura around his body.

The dazzling golden needles struck the sword aura, giving off crisp clang-clang sounds.

Dongfang Qun, who had been extremely confident in his soul skill, froze on the spot when he saw this.

Good grief!

Just what kind of monster was this brat?

He had blocked his sixth soul skill so easily.

Could this be the legendary sword aura?

Wasn't this level of strength far too terrifying?

In truth, it was not so.

Chu Hao's strength had not yet reached such a terrifying level.

The sword aura he was using now was only borrowed from the power of the Hades Sword and the Slaughter Devouring Divine Ability.

If he had not previously slain several waves of guards in one go and condensed even more killing intent, he would not have been able to do this.

Moreover, Dongfang Qun's sixth soul skill looked imposing and boundlessly powerful, but it was nothing more than an empty show.

Countless golden needles were equivalent to countless clones, scattering the attack power.

Otherwise, Chu Hao would never have been able to block it.

If Dongfang Qun had poured all his power into just one golden needle, he would undoubtedly have died.

"All show and no substance!"

Feeling the power of the golden needles, Chu Hao smiled coldly in disdain, and the sword aura around him burst outward.

In an instant, the dazzling golden needles were shattered in one blow, turning into scattered golden powder that vanished into the sky.

"One Sword to the Soul!"

Afterward, Chu Hao gripped the sword with both hands, gathered all his soul power and killing intent, and swung horizontally, cutting out a several-meter-long streak of slaughter sword energy that left a faint mark in the air, as if the very air had been split open.

Seeing this, Dongfang Qun's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly retreated, not daring to take the sword head-on.

Because just now, he had sensed the aura of death from that sword energy.

"Fifth soul skill: Armor Protection!"

Just as Dongfang Qun retreated, another Soul Emperor personal guard used his fifth soul skill. Armor covered his entire body as he stepped forward alone to block the attack.

He believed that with his powerful defense, he would certainly be able to withstand it.

But he had far too greatly underestimated the power of the Hades Sword. The slaughter sword energy it cut out was incomparably sharp, and with the enhancement of the first soul skill, Evil Blade Dawnbreaker, almost no one could block it.

How could armor supported by a mere ten-thousand-year soul skill possibly withstand it?

And sure enough, the dark-red slaughter sword energy directly cleaved through his armor, swept across his body, and cut him in two.

And so, a powerful Soul Emperor died a miserable death through blind confidence and ignorance. It was fair to say he died in truly stifling frustration.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for killing a Soul Emperor and obtaining a high-quality Soul Emperor soul. Reward: soul power increased by one level. May the host continue to work hard and create even greater glory.]

"H-How is that possible!"

Everyone present stared wide-eyed at the unbelievable scene before them, their faces filled with disbelief.

A level sixty-one defense-type Soul Emperor had died just like that at the hands of a Soul Elder.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, probably no one would have believed it.

Yet something that seemed impossible had unfolded right before them.

It was absolutely damn ridiculous.

"He underestimated his enemy. Otherwise, that brat would never have succeeded."

"You could say he died by his own hand."

Qian Renxue saw through the reason Chu Hao had killed the Soul Emperor with one slash at a glance and shook her head regretfully.

This was a Soul Emperor.

On Douluo Continent, he counted as a powerful figure in his own right.

And he had died so uselessly.

What a pity.

"Dongfang Qun, what are you all standing there for?"

"Hurry up and kill him!"

The more Prince Xue Xing watched, the more alarmed he became, and the more his heart ached.

In just a few minutes, he had lost three Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor. His heart was practically bleeding.

Why did this damned brat possess such powerful strength?

It was simply absurd.

"Kill!"

Hearing Prince Xue Xing's order, Dongfang Qun put away his contempt at once and immediately commanded his subordinates to surround and attack Chu Hao.

If outsiders saw this, they would definitely laugh like pigs.

To kill one tiny Soul Elder, it actually required four Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor to join hands.

Who the hell could even come up with that? Were they not afraid of being laughed at?

Yet what looked like a joke had truly happened.

Because after killing the Soul Emperor, Chu Hao's strength had risen again.

And with the previous lesson before them, the five of them, Dongfang Qun included, did not dare touch the killing sword qi Chu Hao slashed out, terrified they would follow in the dead man's footsteps.

Yet it was precisely their caution and fear that created even more opportunities for Chu Hao.

One slash cut through the waist!

One slash sealed the throat!

One slash pierced the heart!

One slash severed the head!

With four consecutive slashes, Chu Hao killed the four great Soul Kings.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for killing four Soul Kings in succession. Reward: Ten Thousand Swords Art. May the host continue to work hard.]

Just as Chu Hao killed the final Soul King, the system prompt rang out in his mind once more.

At this moment, Dongfang Qun had already been utterly shaken by Chu Hao's formidable strength and his terrifying, unkillable physique, losing all confidence completely.

As a powerful Soul Emperor, to be frightened into such a state by a Soul Elder—he truly was the first person in history.

This drove Prince Xue Xing into a fury, making him lose all face before Emperor Xue Ye.

"Trash. A bunch of trash."

"Xue Xing, these are the personal guards you trained yourself? How are they any different from trash? They can't even deal with one tiny Soul Elder."

Emperor Xue Ye was furious, utterly disappointed in Prince Xue Xing.

"Your Majesty, this younger brother did not expect this brat's strength to be so formidable either."

"However, please rest assured, Your Majesty. This younger brother will certainly execute him on the spot."

"Dongfang Qun, stand down!"

Prince Xue Xing knew he could not allow the situation to continue worsening, so he had no choice but to take action himself.

He leaped down from the city wall and lightly landed in front of Chu Hao.

This scene stunned Emperor Xue Ye, Qian Renxue, and every guard present.

When everyone saw the configuration of his soul rings, their faces filled with even greater shock.
