Chapter 41: He Has a Spirit Bone-Take Him Out!

Meng Shu's mouth twitched violently.

He had never imagined that a mere brat would dare open his mouth and insult him.

After all...

He and his wife, the Peerless Dragon Snake, were figures of standing across Douluo Continent.

"Brat!"

"Are you looking for death?"

Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang was the first to lose her patience.

In all their years roaming Douluo Continent, they had never met anyone who dared disrespect them.

"Was I wrong?"

"We worked hard to kill that Ink Salamander, and you came running over to take it."

"Is that how the Peerless Dragon Snake roams Douluo Continent?"

At those words...

The Peerless Dragon Snake couple stared in shock.

"What's your name?"

They were surprised that Lin Ye recognized them.

That meant the boy before them had seen something of the world.

Hmm...

He might well come from some great family.

"What's it to you?"

"Leave now, and I'll pretend this never happened."

Meng Shu had been thoroughly rebuffed.

His expression darkened further.

"Old man," Chao Tianxiang said grimly. "Why waste words on him?"

Leave?

If they slunk away with their tails between their legs, how could they show their faces on Douluo Continent again?

The Soul Master World would treat them as a joke.

As soon as she finished speaking...

Snake Granny hurled the Serpent Cane in her hand.

Today, she would see whether Lin Ye's head was as hard as his mouth.

Wrapped in surging Soul Power, the Serpent Cane whistled through the air toward Lin Ye's face.

But...

Lin Ye merely waved a hand.

A burst of icy Soul Power sent the Serpent Cane flying straight back.

The instant Snake Granny caught it with both hands, she felt an overwhelming force surge into her.

The next moment...

She staggered several steps back, unable to control her body.

"Hiss..."

Shock covered the faces of the Peerless Dragon Snake couple.

Snake Granny had intended to force out Lin Ye's Martial Soul with one unremarkable strike.

Then they could learn where the boy came from.

Never had they expected this!

Snake Granny had come off worse in their very first exchange.

Which meant...

Lin Ye was stronger than Snake Granny.

And Snake Granny...

Was a Level 65 Control-System Soul Master.

If this boy was stronger than her, didn't that mean...

Hiss...

The couple were stunned all over again.

How old was this boy?

How could he possess such formidable strength?

"I'll say it again," Lin Ye said. "Leave now, and we'll act as though this never happened."

Meng Shu gave a cold snort.

Leave?

Impossible!

If they had left earlier, they could have claimed they simply refused to stoop to a youngster's level.

But now that they had traded blows...

Leaving after taking a loss would mean they were afraid.

If these two children spread the story, the Peerless Dragon Snake would have no way to hold their heads up on Douluo Continent.

"This old man will test you!"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu decided to act personally.

Today, he would see what Lin Ye was truly made of.

Meng Shu turned his palm, and the Dragon Staff appeared out of thin air.

He swung it in a sweeping strike!

A gust from the staff roared out with a dragon's cry, shattering the rocks along the ground.

Lin Ye turned sideways and slipped past it.

The blast from the Dragon Staff grazed the hem of his clothes before slamming into the ground, gouging a pit several meters deep.

With a flick of his wrist, Meng Shu turned the sweep into a downward strike. Its force poured down like a waterfall.

This time...

Lin Ye advanced instead of retreating.

"Roar—"

A clear dragon's cry rang across the wilderness.

Behind Lin Ye, an ice-blue pillar of light shot into the sky, and frost spread rapidly outward from him.

Within the pillar of light...

A crystalline Mystic Ice True Dragon burst through the ice.

At the same time...

Seven Soul Rings lit up beneath his feet in succession, each flaring like an explosion.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red!

At the sight of Lin Ye's Seven Soul Rings, the Peerless Dragon Snake couple could no longer keep their composure.

Meng Shu's thoughts churned like an overturned sea.

"A Seven-Ring Soul Sage?!"

They had never imagined Lin Ye would reach Soul Saint at such a young age.

And that was not the most terrifying part...

What they found even harder to believe was that Lin Ye possessed two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Two of them!

Good heavens!

How had this boy done it?

For a moment...

Dragon Duke Meng Shu even forgot to attack.

"Old man..."

Chao Tianxiang was stunned.

Now she finally understood why she was no match for Lin Ye.

In level, Soul Rings, and Martial Soul quality, Lin Ye outclassed her completely.

"Boy!"

"Who exactly are you?"

Meng Shu still could not identify Lin Ye's origins.

Lin Ye's Martial Soul belonged to none of the renowned great sects.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's inherited Martial Soul was a dragon, but it was far removed from Lin Ye's.

Besides...

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had no power to help this boy kill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

No!

To be precise...

No faction on Douluo Continent had that power.

Not even Spirit Hall.

And even if one did, it would never let a mere brat absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"Old man!"

"Why waste words on him?"

"If he has Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, he may well have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone too."

"There's no one else here!"

"Let's join forces and kill them!"

Greed drove Chao Tianxiang into a frenzy.

That was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

If she absorbed one, she could immediately break through to Soul Saint.

Once she gained her Martial Soul Avatar, her strength would soar.

If Meng Shu absorbed another Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, he could become a Titled Douluo before long.

Add their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to that...

Their family would gain an extraordinary boost. It would surely join the Seven Great Sects, perhaps even the Upper Three Sects.

"Another one who wants to kill me..."

Lin Ye vaguely remembered that the last person who had wanted to kill him was named Wang Laoba. He had since buried him in the Frozen Forest.

"Attack!"

Meng Shu knew he had no choice but to act.

His wife had already revealed her intent to kill. If they failed to finish Lin Ye today, the boy would surely come after them when he had the chance.

Meng Shu raised the Dragon Staff high.

The eight Soul Rings beneath his feet flashed brilliantly.

A giant golden dragon roared out of the staff and lunged at Lin Ye, claws bared.

Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang swept her Serpent Cane through the air.

Six phantom Azure Snakes darted low across the ground. Poison Mist billowed like a tide as they closed in from both sides.

The golden dragon struck from the front, while the Azure Snakes cut off the flanks.

Faced with an attack that covered him like a net over heaven and earth, Lin Ye showed no panic.

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

Cold light flashed in Lin Ye's eyes.

He thrust out both hands!

Ice-blue light gathered around his ten fingers, forming two enormous claws of profound ice.

He stepped forward, his body turning to a blur. His left claw struck the golden dragon head-on. Claw and dragon's head collided with a crash, and the dragon wailed as a gash tore through it.

His right claw swept across!

It severed every phantom Azure Snake that had closed around him.

With a single Soul Skill, he easily broke the Peerless Dragon Snake couple's combined attack.
