Serves Them Right for Dying!

Chao Tianxiang spat out a mouthful of blood.

This time, her injuries were clearly worse than before. She was already half-dead.

And that was after she had twisted aside in desperation. If the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword had pierced her heart, she would probably be dead already.

"My dear!"

Meng Shu's pupils contracted sharply.

At that moment,

A fear unlike anything he had ever known surged through him.

He suddenly felt that even together, he and his wife were no match for Lin Ye.

The brat was too strong!

He had not yielded an inch against their combined attack. He had even held a steady advantage.

What troubled Meng Shu most was...

Lin Ye knew they intended to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so he refused to give them the chance.

"Hah—"

Chao Tianxiang let out a fierce shout.

She sprang up and made as if to charge Lin Ye.

"No!"

Meng Shu knew Chao Tianxiang was preparing to attempt Martial Soul Fusion again.

But...

Would Lin Ye give them the chance?

Of course not!

And neither would Shui Bing'er.

She stepped sideways to block Chao Tianxiang's path and said coldly, "Your opponent is me."

Shui Bing'er had been well-behaved since childhood, but that did not mean she showed mercy to her enemies.

Especially when this enemy wanted them dead.

As she spoke,

A piercing chill erupted from Shui Bing'er.

"Fifth Soul Skill—Ice Storm!"

The next instant,

Centered on her...

A terrifying current of bitterly cold air exploded outward.

Ice crystals whirled through the air like blades, instantly forming a massive snowstorm tornado that roared toward Chao Tianxiang with devastating force.

Frost seized the air in an instant. The ground split beneath the ice, and even the surrounding plants froze into sculptures.

Chao Tianxiang had no choice but to abandon the Martial Soul Fusion again and turn her attack on Shui Bing'er, who blocked her way.

She dropped low.

"Fourth Soul Skill—Ten Thousand Snakes Devour the Heart!"

The instant the tip of her staff struck the ground,

Purplish-black Soul Power poured into the earth like a tide.

The next moment!

Dozens of venomous snakes formed from Soul Power burst from the ground. Flicking their tongues, they spread out in a fan and lunged toward Shui Bing'er from every direction.

Boom—

The two forces of different attributes collided midway with a thunderous crash.

The ice-blue tornado instantly swallowed most of the snakes, freezing them solid before grinding them into a cloud of ice shards.

The remaining snakes hurled themselves into the storm one after another. As they were shredded, they released clouds of venom that stained the once-pure snow an eerie purplish black.

Then,

The purplish-black ice storm seemed to grow eyes.

It bore down on Chao Tianxiang like a sky falling upon her.

Boom—

Under the onslaught of frigid energy, Chao Tianxiang was forced to retreat.

She was furious!

A tiger fallen onto the plains, bullied by dogs.

She had never imagined that, in her lifetime, a Soul King would overpower her.

It had all begun with the sword strike Lin Ye had landed on her earlier.

"You have no chance left."

It was true!

The outcome was decided.

Shui Bing'er burst forward again.

"First Soul Skill—Ice Seal!"

"Second Soul Skill—Ice Ring Armor!"

"Fourth Soul Skill—Ice Phoenix Heart-Piercing Strike!"

She would not even give Chao Tianxiang a chance to catch her breath.

On the other side,

Meng Shu watched the battle before him.

He had realized there was no possibility of using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill today.

That realization gave him another idea.

Run!

Take Chao Tianxiang and run!

"Stop dreaming."

"You're already a dead man."

Lin Ye had anticipated everything the Peerless Dragon Snake couple might do. He had even predicted their attempt to flee.

He could not let either of them leave Death Canyon alive.

It was not merely because they had tried to kill him. More importantly, they knew his secret: the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone he possessed.

Just imagine...

If the two of them left Death Canyon,

Would they keep what had happened today to themselves?

By then,

All of Douluo Continent would know Lin Ye possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

As he spoke,

Lin Ye unleashed his Soul Bone Skill again.

Ice Dragon Annihilation Blast!

The next instant,

Soul Power surged wildly around Lin Ye, and the Soul Bone in his right leg shone with a dazzling icy-white light.

He stamped his foot.

A lifelike dragon of solid ice roared up from the ground.

After circling once in the air, the great ice dragon hurtled toward Meng Shu, bearing a world-destroying cold.

"Hiss!"

Meng Shu's pupils shrank.

It was so fast that he had no time to dodge.

He could only hold the Dragon Staff across his chest and pour all his Soul Power into it. It was his only hope of withstanding the blow.

Yet...

He had still overestimated his strength.

The instant the great ice dragon struck, cracks spread across the Dragon Staff.

Ice raced along the staff before his eyes and covered his entire right arm in a heartbeat.

Only then

Did he truly understand the gulf between himself and Lin Ye.

Unfortunately, he understood too late.

Crack—

The Ice Dragon tore through Meng Shu's chest the next instant.

An extreme cold exploded from the wound, freezing him into an ice sculpture.

The terror and unwillingness on Meng Shu's face were fixed in his final moment.

His eyes remained open,

But there was no life left in him.

"My dear!"

"Don't die!"

Chao Tianxiang's cries tore from her heart.

Watching her husband die before her eyes hurt more than being killed herself.

At that moment,

Her eyes were bloodred!

There was no remorse for her greed on her face, only grief and fury born of hatred.

"I'll kill you."

All Chao Tianxiang wanted now was revenge.

She charged Lin Ye without regard for her life, hoping to end this farce by taking him down with her.

"Third Soul Skill—Repelling Ice Ring!"

Shui Bing'er waved an empty hand.

A ring of ice-blue light exploded beneath Chao Tianxiang's feet.

Shui Bing'er's Repelling Ice Ring could not inflict damage, but it could force its target to move.

Just like now!

An irresistible force hurled Chao Tianxiang more than a hundred meters away.

Schk—

The sound of a sharp edge piercing flesh rang out.

Chao Tianxiang looked down at her chest in disbelief.

She had never imagined she would be flung straight onto a slab of ice as sharp as a blade.

Chao Tianxiang had not expected it...

But Shui Bing'er had calculated it all.

She had lamented more than once that her third Soul Skill had no means of attack.

After a year of training,

She had finally developed this unexpected way to win.

To be precise...

Lin Ye had devised this little combination for her.

"No..."

After that final word, Chao Tianxiang followed Meng Shu in death.

And so,

The Peerless Dragon Snake couple met their end.

"Sigh."

Shui Bing'er shook her head.

She had never imagined the Peerless Dragon Snake couple would die at her hands.

Back when she was at Skywater Academy...

A teacher had even devoted an entire lesson to the Peerless Dragon Snake couple.

Still,

She felt no pity for them.

They had brought it on themselves!
