"Clan Elder, save me!!!"
Seeing Tang Wulin already blinded by bloodlust, and that even the Soul Saint commander stationed in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had failed to stop him, Dai Huabin instantly panicked.
His cry disturbed the White Tiger Clan Elder, who was cultivating in seclusion in the White Tiger Clan Territory deep within the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Roar!!!
"What audacious Evil Soul Master dares break into my White Tiger Duke's Mansion and kill!"
"Such arrogance!!"
"You're courting death!!!"
With a resounding tiger's roar, a man with snow-white hair and a long white beard stepped out, an enormous White Tiger phantom looming behind him.
Nine Soul Rings blazed wildly in an instant: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black. Two yellow, two purple, and five black-he was unmistakably a Titled Douluo!
(I don't know whether they have a Titled Douluo, but let's add one. Otherwise, even Evil Electrolux's wisp of remnant soul would wipe them out. Later, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin will join forces to destroy the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.)
The White Tiger Clan Elder appeared with impeccable timing, intercepting Tang Wulin almost at the exact moment he was about to kill Dai Huabin.
Bang!!!
Tang Wulin was sent flying by a slap, while the White Tiger Clan Elder abruptly retreated a great step, his expression changing drastically.
"Such strength, in a six-year-old child? How is this possible!"
The White Tiger Clan Elder stared in shock at Tang Wulin's Half-Dragon Transformation. He had no Soul Rings attached at all, yet his strength was enough to shake even a strength-based Power Attack System Titled Douluo like himself. His eyes instantly widened.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Na'er broke free of her restraints and rushed straight to Tang Wulin.
"Older Brother, Older Brother!!!"
Tang Wulin lay on the ground, coughing up great mouthfuls of blood. His eyes were still scarlet, and the fury and fierce killing intent in his heart had yet to subside.
"Clan Elder, kill him!"
"Kill him! Kill him!! Kill him!!!"
Led by the White Tiger Madam, the entire White Tiger Duke's Mansion erupted.
Heaven-shaking cries for blood rang out without end.
The White Tiger Clan Elder turned back and looked at Dai Huabin with concern.
"Huabin, are you all right?"
Among the next generation of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Dai Huabin had the greatest talent and the highest Innate Soul Power. He was their finest prospect for a Titled Douluo in the next generation.
"Clan Elder, kill him!"
"He tried to kill me!!"
"He even ruined my face!!!"
Dai Huabin's face burned with anger, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible, while a cold sneer curled his lips.
The Clan Elder was a Titled Douluo.
So what if that bitch's child was powerful?
So what if he could tear apart Soul Kings with his bare hands, punch Soul Emperors, and contend with Soul Saints? Before a Titled Douluo, wasn't he still just a fish on the chopping block, to be butchered at will?
"Audacious Evil Soul Master! You dared kill dozens of guards from my White Tiger Duke's Mansion. You deserve to die!!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the White Tiger Clan Elder raised his right hand, which instantly became a tiger claw, and viciously clawed at Tang Wulin.
"No!"
"Don't!!"
"Clan Elder, don't kill Wulin! He's the Duke's child!!!"
Squelch!!!
Just as the White Tiger Clan Elder's tiger claw was about to strike Tang Wulin, a figure suddenly threw herself in front of him.
The next instant, the sound of flesh being pierced and torn rang out.
Huo Yun'er stood in front of Tang Wulin. Her abdomen was pierced in an instant, and scalding blood splashed across Tang Wulin's face.
For that instant, time seemed to stand still.
The White Tiger Clan Elder also stared at Huo Yun'er in astonishment.
Though Huo Yun'er was inconspicuous, and Tang Wulin was only an illegitimate son, neither had any acknowledged status.
But the White Tiger Clan Elder... knew how many women Dai Hao had. He simply knew that such a woman existed, and that there was a child named Tang Wulin.
"What!"
"What did you say!!"
"He's that boy Dai Hao's son!!!"
Yet the White Tiger Clan Elder had never imagined that this inconspicuous illegitimate son could undergo Dragon Transformation-his Martial Soul had clearly mutated-and, having only just awakened his Martial Soul without attaching any Soul Rings, had managed to kill dozens of guards from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Those guards had included Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, and even a gravely wounded Soul Saint.
And all this had been done by a six-year-old child who had just awakened his Martial Soul, a child without even a single Soul Ring?
The White Tiger Clan Elder could scarcely comprehend it. By the time he came to his senses, his hand had already pierced Huo Yun'er's abdomen.
He instinctively pulled it out, hoping to save her, but leaving it still would have been better. That movement only hastened Huo Yun'er's death.
Thud!!!
Huo Yun'er collapsed helplessly to the ground.
The next instant, Na'er and Tang Wulin ran over like mad.
"Mom!"
"Mom!!"
"Aaah... Mom!!!"
Huo Yun'er clutched Na'er's and Tang Wulin's hands tightly, her eyes gradually losing focus.
"It's all my fault, all my fault... all my fault for not giving you a good birth."
"Wulin, you're such a good child, such an obedient child. Hardworking, earnest... adorable. But why did you have to be my child?"
"Close your eyes. Forget Mom. With your talent, you deserve a better... mother."
Huo Yun'er's hand fell limply. In that instant, Tang Wulin went numb. He stood frozen in place, his mind buzzing, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
Watching Tang Wulin, whose body was half transformed into a dragon and whose aura was powerful, the White Tiger Clan Elder's gaze shifted rapidly. The next instant, he burst out laughing.
"Good, good, good!"
"The White Tiger Duke's Mansion has produced a dragon!!"
"Six years old, his Martial Soul just awakened, and he can tear apart Soul Kings, punch Soul Emperors, and contend with Soul Saints. Even in the army, he'd be a weapon of slaughter!!!"
The White Tiger Clan Elder roared with laughter, his eyes shining with golden light as he watched Tang Wulin.
Behind him, the expressions of the White Tiger Madam, Dai Huabin, and everyone else changed drastically.
"What's going on? The Clan Elder... is the Clan Elder going to let that bitch's child off?"
"Clan Elder, but he killed so many people."
The White Tiger Clan Elder's expression abruptly changed, and he spun around.
"How dare you! You damned servants dared defy your betters and attack the second young master. You deserve to die!"
"If such disobedient guards were killed, then so be it! Dogs who can't tell master from servant!!"
The White Tiger Madam could no longer sit still.
"Clan Elder, but he's an Evil Soul..."
"Clan Elder, I'm older than him?"
Whoosh!!!
The White Tiger Clan Elder brushed it off casually.
"That doesn't matter. All that matters is that he belongs to our White Tiger Duke's Mansion."
With that, the White Tiger Clan Elder turned toward the White Tiger Madam.
"Are you suggesting that our White Tiger Lineage has the blood of Evil Soul Masters?"
"He's still young. What does he know??"
"Teach him properly. As long as he obeys, that's enough. Besides, isn't the White Tiger, our White Tiger Clan's inherited Martial Soul, bloodthirsty by nature?"
"Bloodthirstiness is good. Once he's on the battlefield, he can kill to his heart's content."
"From now on, this child... will be raised by you, and personally taught by me..."
Before the White Tiger Clan Elder could finish speaking.
Squelch!!!
A bloodstained dragon claw instantly pierced the White Tiger Clan Elder's kidney.
Whoosh!
The White Tiger Clan Elder turned around in astonishment.
"Child, what are you doing!"
"I'm your clan elder grandpa!!"
"I can give you resources! I can nurture you! I'm protecting you!!!"
Tang Wulin's eyes were blood-red, his face crazed.
"Enough!!!"
"For six years, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion singled us out. Everyone in this household mocked us, beat us, mistreated us..."
"Mom is dead. Right and wrong... bullshit! We never did anything wrong!!"
"One day, I will wash the White! Tiger!! Duke's!!! Mansion!!!! in blood!!!!!"
