Breaking Fate

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had been frightened out of their wits. They could only stare blankly as Bai Xiao climbed in through the window.

Only when Bai Xiao approached did they react. Dai Mubai shakily rose to his feet and unleashed his Martial Soul.

Ma Hongjun, meanwhile, was still sitting on the floor. At a glance, the difference in the education the two had received was clear as day.

Bai Xiao removed his hood and controlled the mask beneath it, changing it into the face of an ordinary young man. "As expected of Prince Dai Mubai. Your fighting spirit is truly admirable!"

Dai Mubai had just breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that his opponent was human, but then he heard the word "prince." His pupils dilated again, and he said in shock, "Dai Weisi sent you!"

Bai Xiao's acting skills flared to life. "Ha ha, correct. As expected of Your Highness Dai Mubai, just as clever as your brother. Since you've guessed it, you should know what I'm here to do, right?"

Dai Mubai said in terror, "No, you can't do this! The Lineage rules don't allow it, and if you break those rules, the Lineage will definitely punish you!"

Bai Xiao continued to deceive Dai Mubai. "Then who do you think wants you gone? That lord merely hopes your brother, Dai Weisi, will spend less time worrying about other matters and focus on learning how to govern the realm, so this game can end sooner!"

Dai Mubai broke down. "No, I don't want to die! Don't kill me!"

Bai Xiao's performance reached its climax. He drew a dagger with his left hand and held it in midair. Then he stuck out his tongue and licked the blade, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "That's not up to you!"

As the old saying went, "Even a dog will leap over a wall when driven frantic!" Dai Mubai's mind had reached the brink of collapse. "Since you refuse to spare me, then let's see who kills whom!"

Dai Mubai's eyes turned crimson. After Martial Soul Possession, he lunged at Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao also summoned the tiger-type Martial Soul he had molded and underwent Martial Soul Possession, throwing a punch to meet him head-on.

There was only a bang.

Dai Mubai was sent flying, while Bai Xiao remained rooted where he stood. No matter how foolish Ma Hongjun was, he could tell the situation clearly. He helped up Dai Mubai, whom Bai Xiao had sent flying, and said, "Brother, don't be afraid. I'll help you!"

Bai Xiao sneered. "Since you're stopping me from completing my mission, then go die together!"

Golden light flashed over Bai Xiao's body, and his speed surged.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun only felt a sharp pain in their chests before their vision seemed to slide backward. Then they smashed through the wall, slammed into the corridor wall outside, and fell to the floor like stones. Blood and bits of flesh sprayed from their mouths.

Only then did Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun realize they had reached the end of the road. Bai Xiao walked step by step toward the two figures lying on the ground. In the inn corridor, only his footsteps echoed.

Bai Xiao estimated that the people in the neighboring rooms had been scared silent by the scene, too afraid to make a sound for fear of being dragged into it. That makes things easier for me, he thought.

Dai Mubai said to Ma Hongjun guiltily, "Brother, I'm sorry. I dragged you into this!"

Ma Hongjun also realized what awaited him soon. He immediately burst into tears. "It's all your fault, Dai Mubai, you useless prince! It's not like I was afraid I wouldn't have money to visit brothels anymore—I would've run long ago! You piece of trash, you dragged your grandpa down with you!"

Bai Xiao quietly watched Ma Hongjun throw his tantrum on the floor. Dai Mubai could only smile bitterly at the sight.

"Farewell, my respected Prince!" Bai Xiao intended to carry the act through to the very end.

Bai Xiao raised the dagger and stabbed down. The next second, a human head appeared in his hand. Holding Dai Mubai's severed head, Bai Xiao waved it in front of Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun was scared senseless and even forgot to cry. Dai Mubai, who had been having a foursome with him just moments ago, had become a corpse in someone else's hand. This ten-year-old boy had been frightened out of his mind.

Bai Xiao looked at Ma Hongjun with a cheerful smile. "I nearly forgot—there's still a free bonus here!"
