Killing Ming Er!

Yang Que took a Berserk Pill from his backpack and held it in his mouth, ready for an emergency! Then he took out an Aura-Concealing Pill and swallowed it!

Yang Que's aura vanished instantly, without a trace!

"Let's see the hunter become the prey! Hehe!" Yang Que crept carefully toward the three brothers!

"Damn it, those two little rats run fast! Boss, if we still can't find them, we're finished when we get back!" Ming San said, his face full of fear!

"Shut up!" Their leader's expression was grim!

"Boss, there's something downright sinister about that brat. A mere Soul Elder, carrying someone, and he can still run that fast!"

"Someone with a tool martial soul shouldn't be able to run that fast!" Ming Er looked thoughtful!

"Hmm? Second Brother, what are you getting at?" Ming Yi looked at Ming Er!

"Unless... someone's helping them!" Ming Er said!

"Hmm?" Ming Yi motioned for him to continue!

"Boss! Think about it. People don't usually come into the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if they do, they come in groups to hunt soul beasts for soul rings! He shouldn't be alone!"

"And his soul ring configuration is so abnormal. My guess is that he's some old monster's disciple, brought here for training. That old monster should be around the Soul Douluo level!"

"No! A Soul Douluo couldn't train a disciple like this, unless..." Ming Er reasoned!

Ming Yi's and Ming Er's pupils contracted!

"A Titled Douluo!"

"..."

"That's... that's impossible, right? If it's a Titled Douluo, haven't we offended him beyond all forgiveness? Let's get out of here!" The possibility of a Titled Douluo made Ming San's hair stand on end!

"No! Not only are we staying, we're going to slaughter him!" Ming Er sneered!

"Slaughter him? Are you kidding? If we slaughter him, we'll all be buried alongside him!" Ming San looked terrified!

"Second Brother, stop keeping us in suspense! Tell us what you're thinking! Your big brother's about to die of anxiety!" Ming Yi urged.

Ming Er stared speechlessly at the two. Sigh! How can these two brothers of mine be so stupid? I've spelled it out this clearly, and they still don't understand! Sigh! They say clever people always have fools around to make them shine. The ancients truly never lied to me!

Still, he patiently explained, "Big Brother, Third Brother, think about it. If that young man really had a Titled Douluo behind him, with us hunting down his disciple like this, he should have intervened long ago. So why hasn't he done anything?"

"So there's no Titled Douluo behind him?" Ming San grew excited again!

Ming Yi slapped Ming San. "Shut up! If you're stupid, don't talk!"

Ming San stood to the side, looking wronged!

"He wants us to temper his disciple?" Ming Yi looked back at Ming Er!

"Exactly! Either that, or he has several disciples, and the competition among them is fierce, so some have to be eliminated! Just like in the clan! Lose the competition, and you die! The second young lady is an example!" Ming Er nodded!

"So are we killing him or not?" Ming San asked from the side!

Ming Er glanced at Ming San, seemingly already used to his youngest brother's brainlessness, and explained, "Yes! We have to kill him! How else are we going to survive?"

"Not only do we have to kill him, we have to do it beautifully! That way, not only can we survive, we might even earn a reward from a Titled Douluo. A few pills tossed our way would benefit us endlessly!"

With Ming Er laying out the key point, the three began fantasizing about the rewards the Titled Douluo would give them after they killed Yang Que, and how they would rise to the pinnacle of life!

Yang Que listened to Ming Er's entire analysis from a nearby tree! Right now, he really wanted to roar with laughter and shout, "Well done!"

Good grief! I haven't even made anything up, and you've invented it all for me! Well done! What an imagination! What an assist!

Where would I get a Titled Douluo master? I just have a powerful system. But Yang Que would never tell them that. Let them fill in all the blanks themselves!

Should I call people from great clans clever, or not?

Then Ming Er spoke again. "Although that Titled Douluo won't intervene, this is still his disciple. He's bound to have plenty of ways to save his life. We need a plan!"

"Right! Second Brother, you're in full charge from here on. Third Brother and I will follow your lead!" Ming Yi said!

"Good! Thank you for trusting me, Boss, Third Brother! Next, we'll pretend to reconcile with him. You two surround him from the sides while I distract him with conversation and land a fatal blow! Then you two finish him off!" Ming Er explained his plan!

"All right! We'll do what Second Brother said!" Ming Yi said!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and find him!" Ming San said impatiently!

"No need. He'll come looking for us himself. After all, this is the test his master set for him!" Ming San sneered!

And so the three sat in the woods, waiting for Yang Que to arrive!

Hehe, a bunch of idiots! I listened to your entire plan from right beside you, and you don't even know! In that case, I'll turn your scheme against you. If I don't trick you to your deaths, my name isn't Yang Que!

Ming Er's plan was fairly sound. Though it had flaws, a rookie just starting out would easily fall for it!

But was Yang Que a rookie? Clearly not. That little eleven-year-old body housed an old man pushing thirty!

An hour later!

Suddenly, a faint ripple of soul power came from the woods!

"He's here! Get ready, and don't give yourselves away!" Ming Er said!

Yang Que had obviously released that faint ripple of soul power on purpose! It was his way of reminding them: I'm here. Get your little act ready!

"Young hero! Don't attack! We've come to reconcile with you!" Ming Er shouted!

When there was no movement in the woods, Ming Er continued, "We know you came here with your esteemed master to gain experience. We can't afford to offend him."

"You rescued our second young lady, and so be it. That was our incompetence. But we don't want to offend you. We want to reconcile and settle this grudge! Please give us a chance..."

"Oh? You certainly were stupid to let me rescue that girl! But you actually know my master exists, so you're not completely stupid! Then hurry up and surrender!" Yang Que said with a laugh.

Anger appeared on all three brothers' faces!

Ming Er quickly composed himself and whispered, "Hold it in! Once we kill him, we reap the rewards!"

Then Ming Er addressed Yang Que again. "Yes! We were too stupid and let you rescue the second young lady!"

"We don't want a conflict with you, so we can only let it go! From what we can tell, your esteemed master probably wants you to defeat us!"

"But we're three Soul Kings. Defeating us would take some effort on your part. Why don't we reconcile here? We'll leave immediately, and that will count as you driving us off! How about it? This wouldn't go against your master's original intention, either!"

At that moment, Yang Que walked out of the woods! He seemed to have been persuaded!

You finally came out. I was worried you wouldn't! You really are a fledgling! Far too green! Ming Er thought!

"You have a point. Defeating you would indeed take some effort! But how do I know you aren't lying to me?" Yang Que put on a thoughtful expression!

"That's simple! Walk over to us, and we'll share a hug to settle this matter. After all, your master is here. We wouldn't dare attack you. We still want to live! As long as you make that gesture, young hero, we'll withdraw!" Ming Er coaxed him!

After all, even though Yang Que had come out, he could still escape if he wanted to!

Good grief! I hadn't even figured out how to get close to you, and you've handed me this! What a godsend of an assist! Yang Que thought!

"All right! Then let's shake hands and put this grudge to rest!" Yang Que said!

And so Yang Que walked toward them, step by step!

Almost, almost! Once he comes within two meters of me, I can definitely wound him badly! Then I'll join forces with Boss and Third Brother to kill him, and we'll earn a Titled Douluo's reward! Ming Er thought.

What an idiot. Just let me get within five meters! Then I can kill Ming Er with one strike! Yang Que thought!

As Yang Que approached the three step by step, both he and Ming Er harbored their own sinister schemes!

Twenty meters... fifteen meters... ten meters...

At five meters, a sharp gleam flashed through Yang Que's eyes. My chance! He instantly swallowed the Berserk Pill, and a violent force surged within him! That raging power nearly stripped him of his reason!

While he still had a shred of reason left, Yang Que abruptly drew the Ice Sword, coated its blade in sword intent, and unleashed his sword technique: Wind-Drifting Catkins!

A ghastly white slash of sword light swept toward Ming Er!

"What! No!" Ming Er reacted instantly, but how could the soul power he hastily raised in defense withstand Yang Que's prepared strike after taking a Berserk Pill?

Moreover, Yang Que's sword technique produced no soul power fluctuations. Combined with his sword intent, it easily killed the careless Ming Er in a single move!

Whoosh! The ghastly white sword light sliced through Ming Er's neck. A bloody head dropped to the ground, its eyes wide open, clearly unwilling to close in death!

"No! Second Brother!"

"Second Brother!"

Ming Yi and Ming San screamed hysterically! But their hands were just as quick, instantly unleashing their fifth soul skills!

Fifth Soul Skill: Ghostly Claw!

Fifth Soul Skill: Cat Spirit Impact!

Two streaks of intensely eerie light shot toward Yang Que's back!

Having just swallowed the Berserk Pill, his reason was somewhat clouded. He had also just unleashed his sword technique, and its momentum left him unable to dodge Ming Yi's and Ming San's attacks. They instantly struck his back!

Boom! Yang Que crashed into a large boulder! The shock injured all his internal organs, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood! Even so, he stood back up!

Do not forget that Yang Que cultivated the Jade-Suppressing Nether King Body, a top-tier body-tempering technique. Though he had only reached minor mastery, surviving the fifth soul skills of two enraged Soul Kings was still quite easy!

Moreover, Yang Que had taken a Berserk Pill. His entire being was now consumed by berserk fury, leaving him oblivious to the pain!

"Impossible! What kind of monster is this? He took both our fifth soul skills and didn't die? He can even stand up!" Ming Yi shrieked!

Yang Que rose to his feet, his blood-red eyes fixed on the two Soul Kings!

He put away the Ice Sword! Suddenly, streams of blood fiend aura appeared all around him. A blood-red longsword emerged from his body, followed by three soul rings, one after another!

Purple, purple, black!

"Hehehe! Your second brother is dead. Aren't you going down to join him?" Yang Que grinned, revealing stark white teeth! Together with his blood-red eyes and the violent blood fiend aura surrounding him!

At that moment, Yang Que resembled an Asura who had emerged from hell, bloody and berserk...
