"This..."
Regret showed in the Longxing City Lord's eyes.
Dai Mubai was only 15 Years Old!
With Soul Ancestor Soul Power, he had actually killed so many Soul Emperors!
A Soul Ancestor unleashing the combat strength of a Soul Emperor!
What kind of monstrous talent was this?
If this continued, Dai Mubai might even be able to defeat Dai Weisi...
The Longxing City Lord was filled with regret.
He had firmly believed that Dai Weisi would win, which was why he had chosen Dai Weisi's side.
But now...
If the Longxing City Lord had known this would happen, he never would have gotten involved in this mess!
However...
It was too late for regrets.
General Divine Eagle's expression was even uglier.
If this boy was not eliminated, he would become a serious threat in the future!
General Divine Eagle knew very well that if Dai Mubai could not be killed today, then Dai Mubai would still have a chance of defeating Dai Weisi.
If that happened...
Then he would certainly be purged as well!
Damn it!
"Dai Mubai must die!"
General Divine Eagle let out a roar.
At that moment, Su Xiong had already charged forward.
His astonishing speed caught the distracted General Divine Eagle off guard.
He was sent flying back in an instant.
"Damn it!"
Su Xiong's attack added another wound to General Divine Eagle's leg.
At this point, he could not afford to worry about anything else.
He could only continue fighting Su Xiong.
Below, Zhou Chuanming understood that General Divine Eagle's words just now had been an order for him to make a move.
Zhou Chuanming had firmly sided with Dai Weisi.
Now that he had heard General Divine Eagle's order, he immediately acted.
He was a level 79 Soul Saint!
Dai Mubai could indeed unleash the combat strength of a Soul Emperor.
But no matter what, he could not possibly defeat a Soul Saint, could he?
And a peak Soul Saint at that!
No matter how heaven-defying Dai Mubai was, he could not defeat him!
Zhou Chuanming's body flickered, and seven Soul Rings appeared behind him.
Among them, the Fourth Soul Ring lit up.
He closed in on Dai Mubai at an astonishing speed.
"Die!"
Zhou Chuanming roared.
He was incredibly fast.
As an Agility Attack Type Soul Saint, Zhou Chuanming's speed was absolutely beyond Dai Mubai's ability to react to.
Yet the next moment, a Long Spear pierced straight through Zhou Chuanming's heart.
"Cough, cough..."
A sharp pain erupted from his heart, and Zhou Chuanming spat out a mouthful of blood.
In merely an instant, his Protective Soul Power was shattered.
The Long Spear drove straight into his heart!
"You..."
Zhou Chuanming struggled to raise his head.
The face he saw was Yang Wudi's.
And behind Yang Wudi, four Soul Saints already lay on the ground.
Without a trace of life.
Dai Mubai looked at the disbelief in Zhou Chuanming's eyes.
He could not help shaking his head.
Yang Wudi was invincible among those of the same rank.
Looking at the Soul Saint before him.
Dai Mubai struck Zhou Chuanming directly on the head.
Instantly ending Zhou Chuanming's life.
A golden orb also dropped from Zhou Chuanming's body.
Dai Mubai quickly opened the golden orb.
Inside were a Forty Thousand Year Soul Ring, a Lesser Martial Soul Replicator.
And 2 gold coins.
The rewards were fairly decent.
Dai Mubai directly used the Forty Thousand Year Soul Ring inside to replace Shadow Walker's Claw.
And because his Soul Ring had been replaced, Dai Mubai's Soul Power.
Increased by a full twenty thousand years, rising to level 47.
Level-up triggered, directly breaking through to level 48!
Awesome!
But this was not the time to savor it.
After dealing with Zhou Chuanming and replacing his Soul Ring.
Dai Mubai's figure continued weaving through the crowd. His teleportation range had become greater, and his attacks had become even faster.
At that moment, the tide of battle changed rapidly.
The White Tiger Legion had held a slight advantage at first.
But as Yang Wudi's strength was unleashed, coupled with Dai Mubai's growing power.
They instantly fell into a disadvantage.
With the attacks of the Yang Family Members, Yang Wudi's fierce assaults.
And Dai Mubai occasionally launching sneak attacks to take another life.
The White Tiger Legion no longer possessed its initial fighting strength.
"Damn it!"
General Divine Eagle cursed under his breath.
He knew very well that the people below could no longer do anything to Dai Mubai!
But Dai Mubai had to die!
A vicious gleam flashed through General Divine Eagle's eyes.
"Ha! Birdman, take my life-taking blow!"
Yang Wudi leaped into the air from the ground, charging toward Divine Eagle in the sky as he thrust out his spear.
That overwhelming power shattered General Divine Eagle's Protective Soul Power in an instant.
Feeling his Protective Soul Power get directly shattered by a mere Soul Saint.
General Divine Eagle hastily retreated.
The moment he steadied himself in midair, he stared at Yang Wudi, who had just shattered his Protective Soul Power, with utter shock.
This Soul Saint...
His combat strength was actually this powerful.
If he had not reacted quickly.
Then Zhou Chuanming on the ground would have been his warning!
General Divine Eagle wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The situation had now been completely overturned.
All his men had been killed, the White Tiger Legion had failed to make any progress, Dai Mubai possessed a teleportation Soul Skill, and the opposing Soul Saint could be used like a Soul Douluo.
What was he supposed to fight with? If this continued, he would die here too.
At that moment, Su Xiong caught up to him again...
General Divine Eagle gritted his teeth and fled.
"Divine Eagle! What are you doing?"
The Longxing City Lord watched as General Divine Eagle actually ran away.
His heart lurched.
That damned bastard!
He was leaving him here and running away by himself?
The Longxing City Lord's expression changed rapidly.
He wanted to flee as well.
But Yang Wudi's spear thrust directly toward him.
The Longxing City Lord hurriedly retreated.
Yang Wudi's spear missed.
The blow shattered the ground before Yang Wudi.
Even the soil beneath it was torn up.
Behind him, Su Xiong's attack arrived again.
It struck the Longxing City Lord, who had just been retreating in panic.
Although Niu Gao did not possess particularly powerful offensive methods.
He was still a Soul Douluo, after all.
Under the siege of all three, the Longxing City Lord was truly struggling to hold on.
"White Tiger Legion, heed my command! Kill Dai Mubai!"
Under their combined assault, the Longxing City Lord hardened his heart.
He directly ordered the White Tiger Legion to kill Dai Mubai.
After all, if he failed today, he would die anyway. He might as well kill Dai Mubai first!
The Longxing City Lord did not believe Dai Mubai would be willing to spare him.
When Dai Mubai heard the Longxing City Lord's words, he frowned.
"White Tiger Legion, in my capacity as a Prince of the Star Luo Empire, I order you to stop!"
"You should be fighting on the battlefield to defend the nation, not pointing your weapons at me."
Dai Mubai looked at the members of the White Tiger Legion and spoke solemnly.
These people were merely being used. At the end of the day, they were soldiers of the empire, and there was no need to cause needless casualties.
As soon as he spoke.
The entire battlefield instantly quieted considerably.
The entire White Tiger Legion fell silent.
Dai Mubai was a Prince after all, and his performance had already deeply impressed the members of the White Tiger Legion.
At such a young age, he could kill Soul Kings and Soul Emperors. He was practically the image of a Great Emperor in their hearts.
Many of them had not wanted to attack him in the first place, and now they stopped moving altogether.
The Yang Family Members also stopped at this point, waiting for the other side to make a decision.
As for the Longxing City Lord, he was still getting beaten up.
Seeing that the White Tiger Legion had actually fallen silent, he panicked.
"The Military Order Token is here! White Tiger Legion! Carry out the order!"
The Longxing City Lord's words left the members of the White Tiger Legion with no choice but to obey.
They began to react, gathering together in an instant.
The officer at the front appeared to be in his forties. He was only a Soul Emperor, as all the Soul Saint commanders had already fallen.
He looked at Dai Mubai, his eyes filled with regret.
In a daze, he recalled the day he had first become a captain. A veteran who had served in the army for forty years had once asked him a question.
"Are you afraid of death?"
Back then, he had been full of passion and confidence as he answered, "No! What is there to fear about dying for the empire?"
The veteran had then asked, "What if your death is completely meaningless?"
At the time, he had not understood how death could be meaningless.
The veteran then asked, "What if you die in a civil war within Star Luo?"
He had fallen silent.
He could die defending the nation's borders, or even die invading foreign lands, but infighting...
His heart told him that he was unwilling.
"Ha ha ha!"
The old veteran did not blame him for his answer. He merely smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke the words he had pondered over for a lifetime.
"You're a good lad, but not a good soldier."
At the time, he only thought the old veteran was dissatisfied with him. Feeling resentful, he said nothing.
Time flowed on.
And now, the time had come for him to truly make a choice.
"Old veteran, had you foreseen this day long ago?"
The officer was heartbroken, the bitterness of his memories too painful to revisit.
The Imperial Family Ancestral Teachings decreed that the Great Emperor must emerge victorious through a duel, but the Princes would never simply watch their opponent live until that duel.
Whenever Princes contended with one another, innocent people would die as a result. Perhaps the old veteran had experienced such things as well.
Come to think of it,
the previous Throne Succession War had taken place only thirty years ago.
I never expected that today, I too would have to go through what you once did, old veteran.
"Forgive me, Your Highness."
He let out a deep sigh. His gaze hardened as he declared resolutely, "The White Tiger Legion obeys military orders only!"
If only the person before him were not a Prince, but the true Majesty.
Then he could lead his soldiers to conquer the continent at His Majesty's side, until one day he died in battle in some nameless corner of the land.
And by then, the flag of the Star Luo Empire would surely be planted there.
