Cracking Down on Evil (Please Keep Reading)

The Evil Eye Tyrant Lord had been a walking treasure chest. Besides its Soul Ring and External Soul Bone, it had dropped a genuine Head Soul Bone.

Perhaps it was because the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord possessed Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. Two cores had naturally yielded two Soul Bones: a Head Soul Bone and an Evil Eye External Soul Bone.

After absorbing the Soul Ring, Lin Feng spent another seven days and nights absorbing the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's Head Soul Bone. His mental power was now infinitely close to the divine level. One final step would bring about a complete transformation.

The Head Soul Bone also gave Lin Feng two Soul Skills.

One was an offensive Soul Skill, Mental Paralysis Ray. Anyone it struck would suffer mental paralysis and lose all ability to resist.

The other was a defensive Soul Skill, Thorn Halo. It could withstand attacks and even reflect them. It consumed no Soul Power, drawing on mental power instead.

The trip to the Evil Demon Forest had been richly rewarding.

The only concern was the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's soul, still sealed inside the Evil Eye. Apart from that, Lin Feng had made an enormous profit.

Lin Feng stood and stretched. His clothes felt tight against his body. Looking down, he realized he had grown further after absorbing the Soul Ring, and his clothes had become too small.

"Congratulations, A Feng!"

Ah Yin walked over with a bright smile.

Lin Feng picked her up and spun her around several times.

"Haha! Ah Yin, I couldn't have killed the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord or absorbed its Soul Ring without you."

"And you've spent all these days guarding me. I haven't had time to be with you properly. Now that I've absorbed my Eighth Soul Ring, there's no need to rush for the ninth. Let's explore this New Continent. Whatever you want to eat, whatever catches your eye, I'll buy it for you."

Ah Yin's eyes lit up. Since arriving on the New Continent, she had spent every day accompanying Lin Feng as he hunted Soul Beasts. She really did want to see what life here was like.

"That sounds wonderful, A Feng. I've wanted to look around for ages."

The two left the Evil Demon Forest smiling. Outside, quite a few people were craning their necks to peer in, probably sent by various factions to gather information.

There was no hiding the commotion from Lin Feng's battle with the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord. It was bound to draw attention.

Lin Feng and Ah Yin slipped past them unnoticed and headed for Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.

The empire's kingdoms and duchies all wanted to seize Mingdu, establish themselves there, and rule from behind the throne.

The city had weathered countless wars and witnessed the rise and fall of the Sun Moon Empire. Nowhere offered a more authentic taste of its customs and daily life.

Lin Feng planned to start there and take Ah Yin across the entire Sun Moon Empire.

But what protagonist could travel without running into trouble?

Three men with coal-black faces, dressed in finery, rode carelessly across the street. Mingdu's residents fled in panic before them.

The three laughed with delight.

Then they spotted Lin Feng and Ah Yin and stared in amazement. Both were strikingly beautiful.

The three men were blackened from head to toe, like gorillas. Where in the Sun Moon Empire had they ever seen beauties like these?

"Heh, heh, heh. What gorgeous beauties! We're princes of the Sun Moon Empire. Your eyes shine like stars. Come with us, and we'll show you a good time."

The leader leered at Ah Yin, lust gleaming in his eyes. His gaze swept over Lin Feng, and he swallowed. He had no intention of letting the man go either.

Ah Yin frowned, stepped in front of Lin Feng, and said quietly:

"A Feng, I heard that black skin is a mark of royalty in the Sun Moon Empire. The more noble the bloodline, the darker the skin. Those three really might be members of the imperial family."

"Should we avoid them? Offending the Sun Moon imperial family here could bring us unnecessary trouble."

Lin Feng glanced at the three men closing in. His expression turned icy, disgust flashing in his eyes.

"I hate those black bastards."

"Ah Yin, they're coming for us. If we run, they'll think we're afraid. Don't worry. Once we've killed every last one of them, no one else will dare bother us."

Lin Feng made no effort to keep his voice down. The three men heard every word.

Their expressions changed when they heard him openly call them black bastards. No one in the Sun Moon Empire had ever humiliated them like that.

"Grab them! We'll fuck them every way we can until they're shitting themselves!"

The three summoned their Martial Souls, and three suns rose high above them. Judging by their Soul Rings, each was a Soul Ancestor with two yellow rings and two purple ones.

Lin Feng did not summon his Martial Soul. Against a few Soul Ancestors, he had no need for it.

He lunged forward and drove a fist into one man's chest. Bones cracked. The man's ribs shattered and pierced his organs. He spat blood, then fell backward with disbelief written across his face.

The other two went pale with fright.

They turned to run, but Lin Feng flashed after them and seized each by the throat. With a casual squeeze, he crushed both windpipes.

They collapsed with the light gone from their eyes, without even a chance to beg for mercy.

"Someone's been killed!"

"Someone's killed members of the imperial family!"

The residents of Mingdu saw the three dark-skinned royals lying dead and scattered in terror, shouting as they fled. Shopkeepers slammed their doors shut.

Lin Feng took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. Those black bastards looked diseased. Next time, he would burn them from a distance rather than touch them and risk catching something.

Ah Yin spared the three corpses no more than a glance. She was kindhearted, but she was no saint.

Those three had plainly meant them harm. She would waste no sympathy on them.

"What do we do now, A Feng?"

Lin Feng dropped the handkerchief, turned toward the imperial palace, and grinned.

"Now that we've killed three black bastards, we might as well finish the job and wipe out every last one of them in the Sun Moon Empire."

"Ah Yin, things may get bloody. Wait here. I'll be right back."

Ah Yin hurried forward and caught his sleeve. Frowning, she said stubbornly:

"What are you saying? I came all the way from the Douluo Continent to the Sun Moon Continent with you. Whatever happens next, I'm standing by your side."

"So what if you're going to kill people? If you get hurt, I can heal you right away."

Lin Feng laughed and slipped an arm around Ah Yin's waist.

"All right. Whatever we face, we'll face it together."

With that, Lin Feng and Ah Yin headed for the Sun Moon Imperial Capital.

The streets offered no resistance, and they soon reached the foot of the imperial city.
