Chu Hao's Death Battle Alarmed Qian Renxue

Xue Beng stared at Chu Hao, who had suddenly gained a second soul ring, and froze on the spot, his face filled with shock.

What exactly had just happened?

Could Chu Hao obtain soul rings without hunting soul beasts?

That was far too heaven-defying.

Or had he already possessed a second soul ring, and merely hidden it through some special means?

That was also far too unbelievable.

Heavens!

Just what kind of monster had he imprisoned?

"You all deserve to die!"

After Chu Hao obtained his second soul ring, his confidence soared.

As soon as he finished speaking, he directly used his second soul skill.

The Hades Sword in his hand trembled slightly, giving off an eerie hum that gradually spread out around him.

When Xue Beng and the ten silver-armored guards heard it, a terrifying scene appeared in all their minds.

It was as if demonic heads with ferocious smiles were circling around them, filling their hearts with fear.

The deeper their fear became, the more demons there were, and the more fragile their consciousness became.

Seeing that his soul skill had worked, Chu Hao rushed straight at the control-type silver-armored guard and pierced his heart with one sword strike.

Then he reversed his grip and slashed. A cold gleam flashed as he cut out a streak of slaughter sword energy, which drifted past the neck of the support-type silver-armored guard.

In an instant, a column of blood sprayed out, shooting several meters away.

Thud!

The two silver-armored guards fell to the ground almost at the same time, making a dull impact that jolted Xue Beng and the other silver-armored guards awake.

"Damn it! Kill him for this prince, now!"

Xue Beng looked at the two silver-armored guards, who were already thoroughly dead, and rage surged wildly inside him.

These were all his treasures.

Back then, to cultivate this elite soul master squad, who knew how much effort he had spent.

Not only had he spent hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, he had also had to hide it from Qian Renxue.

Especially the two silver-armored guards Chu Hao had just killed—they were talents he had carefully selected.

And just like that, Chu Hao had killed them.

How could he not be furious?

When the remaining eight silver-armored guards heard the order, they charged at Chu Hao without the slightest hesitation, killing intent filling their eyes.

The ten of them had lived together for several years.

They ate together, slept together, and even went to the toilet together. Their bond was as solid as iron.

Though they were not blood brothers, they were closer than real brothers.

Now that their good brothers had died miserably, they naturally had to avenge them.

However, how could the current Chu Hao be someone they could fight? They were no different from moths flying into a flame, throwing their lives away.

The moment Soul-Shaking Evil Sound appeared, their consciousness once again sank into fear.

Perhaps their brothers' deaths had strengthened their will, or perhaps after what had happened just now, they were on guard.

This time, the effect of Chu Hao's second soul skill was reduced by at least more than half.

But even so, it was still enough to leave the eight of them dazed for one or two seconds.

And with that chance, Chu Hao chopped off the right arms of two of them, making them lose their ability to fight.

Then, before anyone realized it, he killed them.

In just a short dozen seconds, Xue Beng had once again lost two guards.

At this point, Xue Beng's state of mind was starting to collapse. Fear crept in, and he hurriedly looked for a chance to flee.

But how could Chu Hao let him have his way? He immediately chased after him.

The remaining six guards were also utterly loyal and desperately blocked him.

Seeing that Xue Beng was about to escape, Chu Hao went mad, erupting with all the killing intent he had gathered and killing all six in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, Xue Beng still managed to get away.

After thinking it over, Chu Hao could only temporarily give up the chase and burst into the small pavilion to search for traces of Chu Ling.

But no matter how he searched, he could not find her.

At that moment, he realized he had been tricked.

That damned Xue Beng had deceived him again.

His sister was not here at all.

This was a trap.

Just as he realized he had been tricked and was preparing to leave this place first—

Xue Beng returned.

Following close behind him was a squad of royal guards clad in brass armor.

"Commander Li, he was the one who forced his way into my estate and killed my guards. Take him down at once."

Xue Beng glanced at Chu Hao, whose expression was extremely cold, then put on the airs of a wastrel as he ordered the guard commander, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul King.

Compared to before, he seemed like a completely different person.

"Yes, Your Highness the Fourth Prince!"

The guard commander glanced at the bodies of the silver-armored guards, answered with utmost respect, and ordered his subordinates to seize him immediately.

Chu Hao knew he could not get away. He could only make a stand to the death. He summoned his martial soul, the Hades Sword, and charged in to kill.

When the guard commander saw Chu Hao's soul ring configuration, he was utterly shocked.

A thousand-year first ring!

A thousand-year second ring!

What kind of monster was this?

To actually possess such talent.

It was truly rare.

He also had no idea what was going on with this wastrel of a Fourth Prince.

Why offend a genius like this?

Wouldn't it have been better to recruit him?

Yet he just had to make an enemy of him.

What a pity.

And right as he was shocked, shaken, and feeling regret, Chu Hao had already driven back a wave of royal guards and built up his momentum.

Among them was even a Soul Ancestor who died miserably beneath his sword.

Although he had paid a price for it and was seriously wounded, his aura remained overwhelming, like a god of war, making others afraid to approach.

"What a fierce brat. If you hadn't offended His Highness the Fourth Prince, this commander truly would be reluctant to kill you."

"Men, give him a quick death."

Seeing Chu Hao's astonishing combat strength, the guard captain could not help but feel a desire to cherish talent.

But this boy's killing intent was too heavy, and he was bent on killing Xue Beng.

To protect his master, he could only abandon that thought.

"Heh, you want to kill me?"

"With just you people?"

"You're not worthy!"

Chu Hao looked at the royal guards charging toward him, his eyes narrowing as he prepared to fight to the death.

Even if he died today, he would kill Xue Beng.

As long as Xue Beng was not dead, he could not fall.

Perhaps it was his resolve to face certain death that awakened his potential, raising his combat strength by an entire level.

One man, one sword—like a towering mountain no one could cross.

If one came, he killed one; if two came, he killed two.

Even if he was struck by a soul skill, he would still take one person with him in passing.

As long as he was not dead, as long as he was still standing, he would fight to the bitter end.

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's residence.

"Your Highness, something major has happened over at Xue Beng's side."

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was cultivating in the training room when she was suddenly awakened by the report from outside the room.

"Come in and speak."

Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes and gently waved her right hand. The door was opened by a soft force.

Then a middle-aged man wearing a black soul master robe walked in with his head lowered and knelt on one knee before Qian Renxue.

"Your Highness, Xue Beng is being hunted down in his estate," the black-robed man reported.

"Oh? Who is so bold?" Qian Renxue asked with considerable interest.

"Your Highness, it's a boy of about twelve," the black-robed man replied.

"Twelve?"

"Du Feng, is there something special about this boy?"

Du Feng was a trusted aide she had brought with her from Martial Soul Hall. If it were not something important, he would not have come to disturb her so lightly.

There had to be something extraordinary about this boy.

"Your Highness, this kid is incredible. He possesses a powerful tool martial soul."

"Although he is only a Grand Soul Master, both his first and second soul rings are thousand-year soul rings. His strength is astonishing."

"Even a Soul Ancestor died at his hands."

"Right now, he is locked in a death battle with the patrolling royal guards."

"What do you think? Should we secretly lend him a hand, save him, and bring him under our command?"

Du Feng told her in detail everything he had seen at Xue Beng's residence, and at the same time put forward his own idea.

A genius like Chu Hao, with such extraordinary willpower and aptitude, was simply too astonishing, rarely seen in the world. He was exactly the kind of talent Martial Soul Hall urgently needed.
