Instantly Killing Dai Mubai

Later, he really did catch over a dozen nests of Food-Guarding Ants and toss them into the sealed cellar.

As for the man still suffering the agony of being devoured by ten thousand ants—that was complete nonsense. Within minutes, he had been gnawed clean.

Shi An did not have the time to keep torturing him.

Dai Mubai did not believe it, and neither did the others who heard this.

Only Zhu Zhuqing believed it, because ever since she had met Shi An, she had felt that he was an unpredictable man.

One moment, he might be laughing and joking around; the next, he might suddenly turn hostile.

It made her extremely cautious in everything she said and did each day, afraid that she might do something wrong.

Dai Mubai climbed to his feet, his expression full of fury.

He was the dignified second prince of the Star Luo Empire, yet he had been knocked to the ground in public and even rolled several times.

Where was he supposed to put his pride now?

But he was no fool. Shi An had not moved at all, yet he had been sent flying. Either Shi An was truly powerful—

Or someone behind him had attacked.

Dai Mubai was more willing to believe the latter. Shi An looked even younger than him, so how could he possibly be stronger?

"Kid, you've enraged me! Do you dare fight me fair and square?"

Shi An sneered. It seemed this sickly cat still had not recognized the gap between them.

"Are you worthy?"

"Ahhh!!" Dai Mubai had never suffered such humiliation before. His eyes turned blood-red as he directly activated Martial Soul Possession.

A phantom White Tiger emerged behind him, followed by immense changes to his body.

His frame became even more burly, sharp claws grew from his hands, and the character for king appeared on his forehead. Three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple—rose beneath his feet. Surging Soul Power spread in all directions, forcing the nearby spectators back several steps.

Cries of surprise instantly rose from the crowd. Although Suotuo City was far larger than a place like Nuoding City, Soul Masters were usually elusive, and fights between Soul Masters could only be seen in large soul arenas.

In just a moment, people from the two surrounding streets who had heard the news gathered around as well.

"Kid! Fight me! If you lose, that little girl beside you belongs to me!"

Seeing so many people gather around them, Dai Mubai became even more confident.

This kid looks only twelve or thirteen. His Soul Power Level definitely can't be higher than mine. Besides, with so many people watching, I refuse to believe the person behind him would have the nerve to intervene!

Dai Mubai sneered inwardly, as though victory were already in his grasp.

"You mean her?" Shi An looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, then shook his head. "She isn't merchandise, nor is she a wager."

Hearing his words, warmth flowed through Zhu Zhuqing's heart. The way she looked at Shi An gained a trace of unusual tenderness.

"Second Soul Skill: White Bone Fierce Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai's expression darkened. By saying that, was Shi An not implying that he was someone who treated women as merchandise?

He stopped wasting words and spat out a ball of white light, which shot toward Shi An like a meteor.

Once I knock you down, won't the little girl beside you be mine to do with as I please?

Dai Mubai thought viciously as he stomped off the ground and lunged toward Shi An.

Watching Dai Mubai and the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave rush at him, Shi An's eyes remained calm as still water. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed forward.

Buzzz—

A massive earthen palm suddenly appeared in midair and slapped toward Dai Mubai head-on.

The White Tiger Fierce Light Wave struck the earthen palm and was instantly extinguished.

Dai Mubai stared at the suddenly appearing earthen palm, disbelief filling his face.

"How is this possible?! How can you use a Soul Skill without Soul Rings?!"

Dai Mubai came to an abrupt halt. Seeing that his White Tiger Fierce Light Wave had not even caused a ripple, he instantly realized he was no match for Shi An. He leaped into the air and darted to the side.

But how could Shi An let him evade? With a thought, he guided the palm to turn, directly catching the airborne Dai Mubai in its grasp.

"Not good! Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Dai Mubai activated his third Soul Skill, his strength surging drastically. He stretched out both arms and frantically pounded the Rock Giant Hand restraining him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yet it was useless. Other than a few cracks appearing on the earthen palm, it suffered no real damage.

Fragments of stone rustled down to the ground as Dai Mubai let out a roar from his throat.

"Kid! What kind of skill is it to have the person behind you attack? If you've got guts, have the person behind you let me go, and let's fight fair and square!"

Held in the palm, Dai Mubai regained his rationality.

Shi An had not used any Soul Rings or Soul Skills at all just now, so how could a giant palm have suddenly appeared?

It had to be someone behind him who had acted!

Hearing his words, Shi An was genuinely speechless.

He looked at Dai Mubai—at his disheveled appearance as he crazily hammered the earthen palm—and impatience appeared in his eyes.

His mind was full of filthy thoughts, he couldn't win a fight, and his temper stank to high heaven.

This kind of person would really be pushed onto a god's throne in the future?

"Can't be bothered to waste words on you!"

A spear slowly rose from beneath his feet. Shi An grabbed it, spun it in his hand, and thrust it toward Dai Mubai's chest.

"Teacher!" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke. Shi An's hand stopped in midair, the sharp spear tip less than a finger's breadth from Dai Mubai's chest.

"What, do you want to plead for him?" Shi An looked at her indifferently, his tone giving away neither joy nor anger.

"Teacher..." Zhu Zhuqing lightly bit her lip before slowly speaking.

"He... he is the second prince of the Star Luo Empire. If you kill him, you will definitely face the Star Luo Empire's endless retaliation!"

What she did not say was that if Dai Mubai died before her eyes, the Zhu Clan would certainly be purged as well. And she would probably have no choice but to flee for her life with Shi An from then on.

"It's fine. He's just a useless prince who ran away from the Star Luo Empire." Shi An curled his lip. "I'm not afraid of the Star Luo Empire."

Was he afraid?

Of course he was!

What nonsense. Anyone with half a brain knew what the consequences would be for killing an imperial prince.

Shi An was not Spirit Hall's holy son, unlike Qian Renxue, who had ruined a perfect hand.

If he had a level 99 Limit Douluo grandfather and several Title Douluo enshrined guardians, he would have stopped eating beef long ago.

What Shi An was doing now was nothing more than trying to squeeze out some benefits.

Unfortunately, this Dai Mubai would not take the bait. Why did he not bring out all his valuable things already?

"Stop!"

At that moment, a figure rapidly approached from the distant sky.

A deep voice descended amid a howl of wind. A middle-aged man wearing glasses, with a long horse-like face, appeared in the open space and looked at Shi An with a scrutinizing, gloomy gaze.

"This young brother, may I ask why you are attacking a student of my academy?!"
