Kill Him

"President Ning, this is a matter between this hall master and the Prince's Residence. Does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect intend to interfere as well?"

Already enraged by Yun Duo, Mark Xier's face turned livid when Ning Hudie threw his own words back at him.

He, Mark Xier, had served as the hall master of Skywater City's Martial Soul Main Hall for many years, living in luxury and comfort. Whenever he went out, who wouldn't respectfully address him as Hall Master Mark? When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"Mm, I think President Ning is right. Mark Xier, not only did you lead people in an attempt to force your way into my Prince's Residence, you openly threatened me, a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Is this the way you claim to uphold peace across the continent?"

"Could it be that when you were young, Hall Master Mark Xier, your mother never taught you to admit your mistakes? Or perhaps your father never taught you either?"

"Oh, no, look at my memory—I forgot again. At your age, Hall Master Mark Xier, your parents must already be resting in peace underground. In other words, not only is your mother gone, but your father is too."

In contrast to Mark Xier's livid expression, Yun Duo spotted Dugu Bo and the two girls arriving behind Mark Xier and spoke leisurely.

"Brat, this hall master only respectfully calls you Your Highness because I'm giving the Heaven Dou Empire some face. If I don't give you face, you're nothing but a little runt who just awakened his martial soul. So what if you have Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power? A genius who hasn't matured is like a fragile sapling. One light snap is enough to cut off its life."

"Hmph! Do you really think this hall master wouldn't dare touch you just because the Heaven Dou Empire stands behind you? If I forcibly kill you right now, who could possibly protect you?"

"Yu Dabao behind you, a level seventy-two Soul Sage? Or those five hundred soldiers made up of mere Soul Elders and Soul Kings? Or are you counting on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect daring to go to war with Spirit Hall? Even Shui Yunxi and Dugu Bo behind you can't save you. That's what I, Mark Xier, say."

After hearing Yun Duo's "warm" greetings, Mark Xier finally tore off all pretenses. His previously illusory leopard martial soul appeared in full, and he swiftly activated Martial Soul Possession.

"Uh... are all of you from Spirit Hall this brave?"

Seeing Dugu Bo and the two girls already standing behind Mark Xier, Ning Hudie was rendered speechless by Mark Xier's words.

Chen Jian, standing beside Ning Hudie, twitched at the corner of his mouth. Mark Xier was probably finished today. Even if Spirit Hall didn't take Dugu Bo seriously, that was Spirit Hall, a colossal organization. How did a mere Soul Sage dare be this arrogant?

And he had even come charging straight at Dugu Bo's face. It could be said that even if Dugu Bo killed Mark Xier today, Spirit Hall would have nothing to say.

"Oh? Someone a Soul Sage wants dead can't be protected even if this old man is here? So you're quite bold, then!"

Not long after Mark Xier finished boasting, Dugu Bo's mocking, icy voice sounded from behind him.

As Dugu Bo spoke, he led Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling forward at an unhurried pace. With every step he took, a Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet. By the time the three of them reached Yun Duo, Dugu Bo had released his martial soul and all nine Soul Rings of a Titled Douluo.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Rings shone around Dugu Bo, rhythmically rising and falling. Behind him, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor coiled and writhed continuously.

As for the previously overbearing Mark Xier, he had already been crushed to the ground by the aura of a Titled Douluo, looking utterly miserable.

"Your Excellency Poison Douluo!"

Seeing Dugu Bo pass by them, Ning Hudie and Chen Jian hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Du... Dugu Bo, weren't you in Heaven Dou City? Why are you in Skywater City?"

Unlike Ning Hudie and Chen Jian's reverence, Mark Xier's face was filled with terror, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

He could never have imagined that Dugu Bo, who was supposed to come to Skywater City with his granddaughter Dugu Yan only after Heaven Dou Royal Academy went on break, would suddenly appear here.

"Mm, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Seven Kill Sword. Descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Sword Douluo's family?"

"Little Yun Duo, how do you want to deal with the fellow on the ground? Kill him outright, or...?"

After acknowledging Ning Hudie and Chen Jian, Dugu Bo turned directly to Yun Duo and asked how he intended to deal with the man who had offended him.

As for Mark Xier, pinned to the ground, Dugu Bo had ignored him from start to finish. If not for wanting to test Yun Duo, Dugu Bo would have long since dealt with this man who dared offend him on the spot.

"Dugu Bo, you dare kill me? This hall master is the master of Skywater City's Martial Soul Main Hall, representing Spirit Hall's dignity! If you dare kill me, you'll be making an enemy of Spirit Hall!"

Upon hearing that Dugu Bo wanted to kill him, Mark Xier's face filled with terror, and his voice began trembling uncontrollably.

He attempted to use Spirit Hall's reputation as one of the foremost powers on the Douluo Continent to save his life.

"Oh, kill him outright! First, he led people in an attempt to force their way into the Prince's Residence. Then he openly threatened to kill me, a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Finally, he directly insulted a Titled Douluo. With all that, even if Spirit Hall learns of this, they'll have nothing to say."

Faced with Dugu Bo's question, Yun Duo decisively chose to have him killed.

After all, just as he had said, they had reason and evidence on their side. Even if they truly killed Mark Xier, Spirit Hall could do nothing to them.

Unless Bibi Dong wanted to admit that Mark Xier's actions had been Spirit Hall's intention, and that she wanted to establish the Spirit Hall Empire now and ignite a full-scale war across the continent.

But unfortunately, Bibi Dong could not wield her full strength due to the effects of the Rakshasa God Trial.

Besides, without absolute certainty, Qian Daoliu would never let Bibi Dong gamble Spirit Hall's foundation of ten thousand years.

And if he did not kill Mark Xier, others would only think that he, a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, was weak and easy to bully.

Otherwise, wouldn't any human or ghost be able to come bully him, pat themselves on the backside, and leave?

Besides, the information he had fabricated about awakening Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power could not possibly remain hidden forever. If he wanted less trouble in the future, he naturally had to take a hard stance.
