Boom!
Huo Yuhao's right hand and arm transformed into an enormous Ice Empress scorpion pincer, layers of emerald ice armor stacking over it, its diamond-shaped crystals refracting icy glints.
Huo Yuhao thrust one hand forward, and the enormous pincer struck Liu Erlong, blasting her straight back!
Bang!
Liu Erlong flew ten meters backward and landed hard on the street.
"Cough, cough..."
Liu Erlong struggled to her feet, her eyes filled with shock.
She looked down at the spot on her chest where Huo Yuhao had struck her. A wound remained there, filled with emerald ice crystals.
The bone-piercing chill prevented her soul power from repairing the wound, sending waves of searing pain through her.
"You... you little brat..."
Liu Erlong was stunned.
Her martial soul was a Fire Dragon Martial Soul, born from a beneficial mutation of the top-tier beast martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
Shouldn't her fire-element Fire Dragon Martial Soul have countered this brat's ice attribute?
Besides, Liu Erlong's level was higher.
Yet she was the one being countered!
Huo Yuhao walked out of the shop,
while Li Chen cheerfully sat down to enjoy the show.
Huo Yuhao might have only just broken through to level 63, but that was plenty to beat Liu Erlong.
"You!"
"What about me? You're a teacher, yet your mouth is full of lies. You're my elder, yet you can't even measure up to a junior like me. Have you no shame?!"
Huo Yuhao stepped forward, activating the soul skill of his four-hundred-thousand-year Torso Bone.
"Eternal Frozen Domain!"
Around Huo Yuhao,
terrifying white frost spread outward, and a layer of ice crystals quickly covered the ground, frightening the onlookers into hurriedly backing away.
The powerful chill froze everything,
and frost instantly coated Liu Erlong's hair and eyebrows. Even her lips turned purple.
She could feel the circulation of her soul power slowing noticeably, and even her blood struggled to flow.
"How dare you!"
Unable to endure Huo Yuhao's verbal barrage, Liu Erlong immediately rose.
"Crimson Dragon True Body!"
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her body instantly transforming into an enormous crimson fire dragon. She tried to use the mighty power of her Martial Soul Avatar to withstand Huo Yuhao's terrifying chill.
However,
Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice martial soul surpassed Liu Erlong's mutated fire dragon in quality by more than a single tier.
Even with her Martial Soul Avatar, Liu Erlong could not completely negate the effects of the low temperature.
"How is this brat from the Sun Moon Sect so strong?!"
Liu Erlong looked at Huo Yuhao, already thinking of retreating.
The fire dragon she had become immediately flapped her wings and flew toward the sky.
"Trying to run? Do you think you can come and go from our Sun Moon Sect as you please?!"
"Hmph! Ice Emperor's Wrath!"
Huo Yuhao activated the second soul skill of his four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Torso Bone.
His upper body shone with dazzling emerald light. That light gathered into an emerald beam that burst from his hand!
Containing the very essence of ice, the beam instantly struck the fire dragon in the sky.
"Aaaah!"
Liu Erlong screamed,
and after the beam of Ice Emperor's Wrath struck her, it unleashed a terrifying ice explosion!
Countless ice explosions erupted across the fire dragon in an instant, severely damaging all of Liu Erlong's meridians. The fire dragon plunged headfirst from the sky and slammed into the ground!
That single blow forced Liu Erlong out of her Martial Soul Avatar state, and she coughed up a great mouthful of blood.
Her eyes filled with terror. Even the blood she spat out froze into emerald crystals, a clear sign that the chill had invaded her body.
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly,
walked forward, and seized Liu Erlong by the wrist.
Liu Erlong panted heavily. "How can you be so strong...?"
A sixteen-year-old Soul Emperor.
And he could utterly crush her.
Liu Erlong was somewhat dazed, suspecting that all of this was a nightmare.
"Your Sun Moon Sect is so tyrannical! You... you lost the Milk Bottles my Blue Tyrant Academy ordered. Not only did you refuse to refund us, you're... you're even trying to kill me to silence me..."
Liu Erlong struggled as she shouted.
At this point,
she could only make a huge scene. Otherwise, how could she get away?
The surrounding crowd exchanged looks, unsure whether Liu Erlong was telling the truth.
Among the crowd,
a slender, fair-skinned girl with long, ice-blue hair stood with a vacant look in her eyes.
Shui Bing'er watched Huo Yuhao, the focus of everyone's attention, her mind thrown into turmoil.
She silently lowered her head, withdrew from the crowd, and turned to leave.
Shui Bing'er no longer planned to attend their agreed-upon fight that evening.
Ice Empress's Pincer, Eternal Frozen Domain, Ice Emperor's Wrath.
The three soul skills Huo Yuhao had used all far exceeded Shui Bing'er's imagination.
She knew she could never defeat a monster like him.
Just as the crowd murmured, uncertain whether Liu Erlong was telling the truth,
Li Chen stepped forward,
and took out a Soul Guide Communicator.
The communicator projected footage of Liu Erlong masking her face, waiting for the escort team to arrive, and then stealing the Storage Soul Tool.
"Dean Liu, after seeing this, do you have anything else to say?"
Li Chen sneered.
Liu Erlong's eyes widened. "What? You... this... what is this? How could it record my actions?"
"So you admit the person in this footage is you?!"
Huo Yuhao roared and immediately searched Liu Erlong, soon uncovering a Storage Soul Tool.
"You've got some nerve! You even dared to keep the stolen goods on you. Were you so sure you could lead our Sun Moon Sect around by the nose?"
Huo Yuhao activated the Soul Tool, revealing dozens of Soul Guidance Milk Bottles inside.
"Liu Erlong, do you have anything else to say?"
Liu Erlong was speechless and lowered her head dejectedly.
"Tch! Liu Erlong really did stage this whole thing herself!"
"Let's go, let's go. This Blue Tyrant dean was courting death, daring to provoke the Sun Moon Sect."
On the second floor of a restaurant in central Heaven Dou City,
Ning Fengzhi stood in a private room, looking down at the scene.
"What an impressive young man. Liu Erlong is a Soul Sage, yet she couldn't last three moves against him."
Ning Fengzhi marveled.
Huo Yuhao's combat prowess only strengthened Ning Fengzhi's determination to claim both him and Li Chen for himself!
"Fengzhi, Chen Xin hasn't contacted us for a month now. Should we send someone to check on him?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong asked.
He had felt uneasy lately. Chen Xin had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest over a month ago, yet there had been no word from him.
Some of the other Soul Masters who had accompanied him had already returned, but none knew where Chen Xin had gone.
"It has been a little long. But there's no need to worry. Uncle Jian is powerful. Unless Qian Daoliu or Bibi Dong personally takes action, who in this world could stop him from leaving?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Our spies in Spirit City have sent word that Pope Bibi Dong has remained there all this time. As for Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu, he hasn't emerged from seclusion in years. So rest assured, Uncle Jian is certainly fine."
Ning Fengzhi turned and leaned against the windowsill.
"I don't think the Sun Moon Sect intends to hand over the Flying Soul Tools anytime soon."
"In that case, we'll put the plan into action directly. Find a few capable men, give them Thunder Hand Cannons, and have them kill some Spirit Hall members. We'll pin it on the Sun Moon Sect."
"Then have our spies leak news to Bibi Dong that the Sun Moon Sect supplied Thunder Hand Cannons to the Heaven Dou Empire. With that madwoman's temperament, she'll probably move against the Sun Moon Sect immediately!"
Ning Fengzhi sneered.
He seemed to already see the Sun Moon Sect being destroyed by Spirit Hall, and himself taking Li Chen and Huo Yuhao in amid the chaos.
Bone Douluo frowned. He kept feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Meanwhile,
Huo Yuhao carried Liu Erlong into the shop, while Li Chen used the Satellite to watch Ning Fengzhi's smiling conversation on the restaurant's second floor and hear everything he said.
"Hmm~ Playing dirty with me? Heh, then I'll just have to wipe out your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first..."
Li Chen shut off the Screen and waited until dark,
then found Meng Hongchen with a smile and whispered a few words in her ear.
Meng Hongchen's eyes widened, and she said excitedly, "Hehe, that's a good plan! With the Soul Guidance Milk Bottles, Xue Ye doesn't really need them anymore anyway. I'd say Ning Fengzhi and his lot are doomed this time!"
