You've Already Lived Ten Minutes Too Long

"I won't hide it from you."

"I do have a Soul Bone."

The moment Lin Ye said it,

the greed on all four faces grew fiercer.

"There's only one Soul Bone."

"But there are four of you..."

"How will you divide it?"

"One person absorbs it while the other three watch?"

"..."

As Lin Ye's words sank in,

the air throughout the Frozen Forest seemed to turn even colder.

"Don't listen to him."

"The brat's trying to drive a wedge between us."

"If we fall for it now, none of us will get the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

"..."

They all knew this was one of Lin Ye's tricks.

But...

could they truly ignore it?

Especially when those words had come from Li Laoba, the most two-faced man in their group.

Lin Ye was right!

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone couldn't be divided equally.

That meant only one of them would walk out of the Frozen Forest.

At that moment,

Wang Laoba cursed Lin Ye inwardly. This attack on their minds was vicious.

If he wanted the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, he had no choice but to attack Lin Ye first.

"Roar!"

Wang Laoba bellowed.

The phantom Ice Bear behind him suddenly swelled to five or six meters tall.

"Fifth Soul Skill—Ice Bear Mountain-Shattering Palm!"

Cold light flared across Wang Laoba's palms. His Soul Power formed two enormous phantom bear paws that crashed down with a bone-piercing current of cold, squeezing the air into booming bursts as they fell.

Lin Ye stepped back,

nimbly evading the bear paws.

Then

he unleashed his Fourth Soul Skill, the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword, and swept its gleaming blade across Wang Laoba's throat.

Sensing the freezing sword energy, Wang Laoba had to abandon his attack and lean back to dodge.

Wang Laoba thought he had reacted fast enough, but the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword still sliced open his skin.

He touched his bleeding neck...

and a chill ran down his spine.

That one strike was enough to tell him he was no match for Lin Ye.

He was stunned!

How could a greenhorn not even twenty years old possess such terrifying strength? He even had a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

"Attack!"

"What the fuck are you waiting for?"

Wang Laoba was desperate now.

Were these bastards still hoping to sit back and reap the rewards?

"Third Soul Skill—Hyena Shadow Wind-Rending!"

"Second Soul Skill—Ten Thousand Feathers Heart-Piercing!"

"First Soul Skill—Thorn Formation!"

"..."

The other three had clearly seen that Wang Laoba couldn't defeat Lin Ye alone.

They had to join in!

Otherwise, none of them would get a bite.

But...

after Lin Ye's pointed words, each harbored his own schemes. None used his full strength.

"Sixth Soul Skill—Ice Dragon Golden Body!"

Lin Ye had no intention of going easy on them.

Facing their combined assault, he immediately brought out a killing move.

Ice Dragon Golden Body instantly put him in an invincible state that would last ten seconds.

He charged straight toward the Ice Vine Soul Master at his side, letting the man's Thorn Formation spread across his entire body.

The man was scared witless!

Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined Lin Ye would dare dance inside the Thorn Formation.

The next second,

he saw the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword suddenly fill his vision.

Shhk!

The sword pierced straight through the Ice Vine Soul Master's throat.

One of four was gone!

Only three Soul Masters remained on the opposing side.

Wang Laoba's heart skipped a beat.

He hadn't expected the men he had recruited on short notice to fall so easily. Lin Ye's strength was even greater than he had imagined.

"Attack together!"

"Otherwise, none of us will get out of this!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

the first three Soul Rings beneath Wang Laoba's feet flashed brilliantly.

"First Soul Skill—Ice Bear Rock-Shattering!"

"Second Soul Skill—Black Ice Armor!"

"Third Soul Skill—Ice Bear Berserk!"

Three Soul Skills stacked atop one another.

His already burly body swelled further. A thick layer of black ice armor covered him, and his hands were encased in massive icy claws like a bear's paws.

Then...

he charged Lin Ye head-on, without a single feint.

Lin Ye calculated the time.

Perfect!

His Invincible Golden Body still had three seconds left.

Lin Ye took Wang Laoba's bear-paw strike head-on and felt nothing at all.

Then...

Lin Ye thrust his sword.

Wang Laoba dodged in time, but the blade still pierced his left shoulder.

"Screech!"

A piercing cry rang out overhead.

The Snow Falcon Soul Master, who had been circling above, spread his wings and plummeted from the sky like an arrow.

A wicked smile curled the Snow Falcon Soul Master's lips, as if to say: Ever seen a palm strike descend from the heavens?

"Sixth Soul Skill—Profound Ice Dragon Claw Kill!"

Lin Ye raised his right arm.

A Mystic Ice Dragon Claw several meters tall condensed in midair.

As he swung his right hand forward,

the Mystic Ice Dragon Claw seized at the diving Snow Falcon Soul Master.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill. Ultimate Ice. The Ice Dragon King Bloodline.

No Soul Emperor on Douluo Continent could withstand an attack of that magnitude. The Snow Falcon Soul Master was swatted dead in midair.

"Attack!"

"Together!"

After losing two men in quick succession,

Wang Laoba's confidence had taken a crushing blow.

He now doubted that even he and the Hyena Soul Master fighting with all their strength could defeat Lin Ye.

"Attack, my ass!"

The Hyena Soul Master was done.

They had launched two rounds of attacks in a row.

Both times, Lin Ye had spared Wang Laoba and killed another Soul Master instead.

Why?

He couldn't understand it.

But he knew that if he attacked again, he would be the next to die.

The Hyena Soul Master tried to flee.

But!

Shui Bing'er had been waiting nearby for quite some time.

She had no intention of letting the Hyena Soul Master leave so easily.

"First Soul Skill—Ice Seal."

Shui Bing'er pointed a slender finger.

A stream of bitter cold shot through the air like a spirit snake and coiled precisely around the Hyena Soul Master as he raced low across the ground.

The next second,

the Hyena Soul Master froze.

Shui Bing'er knew Ice Seal couldn't hold the Hyena Soul Master for long, so she immediately unleashed her Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Phoenix Heart-Piercing Strike.

Ice-blue Soul Power suddenly gathered behind her into an Ice Phoenix with wings spread wide.

With a clear cry...

the Ice Phoenix beat its wings and shot forth, becoming a streak of icy white light that hurtled toward the Hyena Soul Master like an arrow loosed from the string.

At the very last moment,

the Hyena Soul Master broke free of Ice Seal.

He crossed his arms before him and took the phoenix's impact head-on.

What a shame!

Shui Bing'er thought.

Although her Fourth Soul Skill had struck true, it hadn't dealt much damage.

Being weak was the original sin!

It all came down to her lack of strength.

Meanwhile,

Wang Laoba still had no intention of giving up.

He had spent twenty years in the Frozen Forest and knew how cruel this Soul Beast Forest could be.

The weather. The Soul Beasts. More terrifying still were human hearts.

He knew it!

If he failed to kill Lin Ye today, he would be the one to die.

"Sixth Soul Skill—Ice Bear Prison-Suppressing Strike!"

The sixth Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up, and the phantom Ice Bear behind him roared at the sky.

His Soul Power poured out like a flood. He raised both palms high as icy Soul Power gathered furiously into a crystalline palm several meters long.

It's over!

As far as Lin Ye was concerned,

Wang Laoba had already lived ten minutes too long.
