Castrating Xue Beng, Xue Ye and Qian Renxue Arrive

[Ancient Tree of Life Martial Soul: It possesses only one soul skill—Source of Life—with both passive and active attributes.]

[Passive Attribute: Without releasing the Martial Soul, it can rapidly heal injuries, restore stamina and Soul Power, detoxify poisons, eliminate negative effects, and more. The more soul rings possessed, the stronger the passive effects.]

[Active Attribute: The Martial Soul must be released to actively use the soul skill. Each soul ring obtained grants the Source of Life soul skill a comprehensive enhancement in a certain aspect, such as instantly healing external wounds.]

[Given that the host's current situation is highly dangerous, the system has autonomously activated the Ancient Tree of Life's passive attribute. Host, please continue working hard, condense killing intent, and collect higher-quality souls.]

As soon as the system's prompt ended, a gentle surge of vitality flowed through Chu Hao's body, circulating throughout every part of him.

In an instant, his injuries improved considerably.

Though he had not fully recovered, he could at least move now.

And at this rate, it would not take long for his injuries to heal completely under the Ancient Tree of Life's passive attribute.

"Hehehe, Chu Hao, you still ended up in this prince's hands."

"This time, let's see how you survive!"

"Die!"

Xue Beng walked over and crouched beside the blood-soaked Chu Hao. He pulled a coldly gleaming dagger from his robes and stabbed it toward Chu Hao's chest.

His eyes were filled with vicious ferocity.

Clearly, tonight's events had made Xue Beng hate Chu Hao even more deeply.

But at that moment, Chu Hao suddenly opened his eyes. A cold glint flashed through them, making Xue Beng tremble all over as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss of ice.

Before he could react, Chu Hao kicked him flying. He crashed face-first onto the ground, shattering every tooth in his mouth.

"Xue Beng, where is my sister?"

Chu Hao glanced at the royal guards who had been about to make a move, then strode straight up to Xue Beng, planted a foot on him, and demanded coldly.

The royal guards who had intended to act saw Chu Hao's gaze and instantly lost their nerve. They exchanged a look, turned around, and ran.

At that moment, they had only one thought: hurry home, take their families, and flee the Heaven Dou Empire.

The farther, the better.

Watching the royal guards flee, Xue Beng's heart sank completely, and his face turned deathly pale.

He knew no one could save him now.

Chu Ling was all he had left as a trump card.

If he wanted to live, he could only rely on himself.

"Hehehe, Chu Hao, do you think I'd be stupid enough to tell you?"

"Keep dreaming."

"Unless you let me go, this prince might consider it."

Xue Beng gave a cold laugh, his eyes brimming with madness.

"Is that so?"

Seeing that he refused to talk, Chu Hao narrowed his eyes, a chilling gleam filling them.

That was right!

Before finding Chu Ling, he could not kill Xue Beng.

But that did not mean he could not torture him.

You won't talk?

Then I'll make you suffer a little.

"Chu Hao, y-you... what are you going to do?"

"If you dare touch me, you'll never find out where Chu Ling is!"

Seeing the cold look in Chu Hao's eyes, Xue Beng felt a sense of foreboding and hurriedly used Chu Ling's safety to threaten him.

But Chu Hao was not easily intimidated. Without another word, he picked up the dagger from the ground, drove it into Xue Beng's thigh, then swiftly pulled it back out.

"Ah..."

"Chu Hao, you actually stabbed me..."

Feeling the searing pain in his leg, Xue Beng let out a heart-wrenching roar, filled with endless hatred.

He had never suffered such pain in all his life.

Damn it.

"Tell me, where is my sister?"

Listening to Xue Beng's screams of pain, Chu Hao felt an inexplicable thrill in his heart.

Half a year!

He had been tortured for a full half year.

Today, it was finally his turn to torture Xue Beng.

This way of taking revenge was truly f*cking satisfying.

"You son of a b*tch Chu Hao, you will never know!"

Xue Beng endured the excruciating pain and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Heh!"

Seeing that he still had a stiff mouth, Chu Hao gave a cold laugh.

He grabbed the dagger in his hand and sliced it directly toward his lower abdomen.

Seeing this, Xue Beng's eyes widened in panic, and he hurriedly began to beg for mercy.

"Chu Hao, what are you doing?"

"You can't do this!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, okay?"

"Stop, please stop..."

Hearing his pleas, Chu Hao paused his hand for a brief moment, cast a cold glance at him, and then slashed down anyway.

Spare you?

How could that be possible!

This was only just the beginning.

"F*ck..."

"Chu Hao, I'll f*ck your..."

Having lost the most important thing in his life, Xue Beng collapsed on the spot.

Perhaps the pain was too much, as he fainted right then and there.

Chu Hao was a bit stunned to see this.

He couldn't take it already?

He hadn't even asked where his sister was yet.

No!

He had to wake him up.

With that, Chu Hao began to swing his right hand, slapping him across the face wildly.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

The crisp sound of the slaps rang out exceptionally loud in the silent courtyard.

Before long, Xue Beng was slapped awake.

At the same time, squads of the elite Royal Guard swarmed toward him.

Immediately after, Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing walked out, flanked by the guards.

They arrived just in time to witness Chu Hao frantically slapping Xue Beng.

Their hearts ached beyond words.

"Stop!"

"Stop at once!"

Seeing his own son being treated this way, Xue Ye hurriedly spoke up to intervene.

His heart was bleeding.

Fearing that Chu Hao might kill him, he didn't dare send his men in.

The newly awakened Xue Beng heard the familiar voice and felt aggrieved to the extreme, tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, he even forgot the excruciating pain below.

No, it was more likely that the pain had numbed him.

"Father, hurry and save me..."

Xue Beng wailed, sobbing and wiping away his tears.

"Get up!"

Chu Hao glanced at the Royal Guard surrounding him, his eyes devoid of fear, filled only with an increasingly icy chill.

Since Xue Beng didn't want to tell him where his sister was, he would use Xue Ye's power to find Chu Ling.

After all, with Xue Beng as his hostage, he wasn't afraid of Xue Ye playing any dirty tricks.

"Who are you? Release my son at once!"

"Whatever conditions you have, just name them, and I will surely satisfy you."

Xue Ye looked at the blood-soaked Xue Beng, knowing he was injured, and grew frantic with worry.

So far, he had already lost two sons.

If he lost another one today, it would practically kill him.

As long as he could save Xue Beng, he would spare no cost, no matter how great the price.

"You want me to let him go? Fine!"

"Release my sister first."

"Otherwise, there's nothing to discuss!"

Chu Hao answered coldly. At the same time, he summoned his martial soul and held the Hades Sword against Xue Beng's throat.

With a single thought, he could take Xue Beng's life.

The instant Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing, and everyone present saw Chu Hao's soul ring configuration, they were utterly dumbfounded.

Heavens!

What kind of monster was this?

Why had Xue Beng offended someone like him?

With such terrifying talent, his background was surely anything but ordinary.

"Father, your son has arrived late."

Just as everyone was still in shock, Qian Renxue arrived under the escort of her personal guards.
