Dai Mubai begged for mercy

Dai Mubai knew Xu Ran's strength was no small matter, so he immediately unleashed his third Soul Skill.

The purple ring beneath him shone, and his presence grew even stronger. Feeling the surging Soul Power within him, Dai Mubai regained his confidence.

As a prince, he had always been confident, ever since he was a child.

He charged swiftly toward Xu Ran, his tiger paws thick and powerful, with bright silver blades upon them.

"Die!" Dai Mubai roared, slashing his claws toward Xu Ran's head.

Compared with Dai Mubai's flashy movements, Xu Ran was much calmer. Holding the pitch-black scabbard in his left hand, he slowly closed his right hand around the sword's hilt, a trace of mockery on his face.

"Bloodshed." Xu Ran spoke quietly, drawing the God-Slaying Sword from its utterly black scabbard.

The first Soul Ring beneath Xu Ran flashed, and a thick, bloody presence emerged from him. Even the God-Slaying Sword's jet-black blade turned dark red the instant the Soul Ring lit up.

Almost the moment the God-Slaying Sword left its sheath, both Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu felt their scalps prickle. Xiao Wu looked at Xu Ran in surprise. With swordlike brows and starry eyes, he was exceptionally handsome. But at that moment, his eyes had also turned blood-red, gleaming with bloodlust.

At that moment, Xu Ran seemed like a God of Slaughter who had walked out of hell.

The bloody presence around him was so intense that looking at him felt like facing a venomous snake.

If even Xiao Wu felt that way, Dai Mubai, who faced Xu Ran directly, felt an even stronger, inexplicable chill rise through him. It made him shudder involuntarily even as he lunged at Xu Ran.

Before Dai Mubai could react, the red Sword Light Xu Ran unleashed swept straight toward his transformed tiger paw, carrying a thick, bloody presence.

That streak of Sword Light moved incredibly fast, carrying a sinister, venomous presence poised to devour its prey.

Slash!

The Sword Light struck Dai Mubai's tiger paw directly.

At once, the sharp, silvery-white claws on Dai Mubai's tiger paw were severed, their cut surfaces smooth as mirrors.

"Argh!" Dai Mubai could not help screaming as intense pain swept through him. He stared at his palm in horror. The incredibly hard blades on his tiger paw after Martial Soul Possession had actually been cut clean through.

Those were blades granted by his White Tiger Martial Soul! Although his White Tiger Martial Soul relied on the force of his palms, those blades still contributed greatly to his strength. Yet they had simply been severed like that.

Dai Mubai could not help looking at his palm. Besides the blades at his fingertips, large pieces of flesh had also been sliced off his fingertips. A trace of bloody Sword Qi lingered at the cuts, frantically destroying the flesh and tissue around his wounds. It was no different from rubbing salt into his wounds, making Dai Mubai feel a pain that pierced his heart.

"Hiss." Dai Mubai sucked in a breath of cold air. Looking at the cuts on his hand, he felt his scalp prickle. If that strike could easily sever the five hardest blades on his palm, it could probably cut off his arm just as easily.

"I surrender. I'll accept my defeat this time," Dai Mubai said immediately, without hesitation. Under the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, he was already at his strongest. Yet he still could not block a single strike from Xu Ran. What the hell was the point of fighting?

He looked coldly at Xu Ran. As a senior at Shrek Academy, if Xu Ran wanted to make his way there in the future, Xu Ran would certainly stop. He would have no other choice.

For a new student to beat up a senior on his very first day was hardly a good thing.

"If you walk this path, sooner or later, your debts come due."

"My woman is not someone you get to covet," Xu Ran said coldly. Dai Mubai, that piece of trash, was so lustful, yet he had still abandoned Zhu Zhuqing. He cowered instantly before the strong, but showed off and humiliated the weak.

Just now, he had even set his sights on Xiao Wu. Had it been someone other than him and Xiao Wu, that pretty girl would probably have long since been tricked by Dai Mubai.

Xu Ran ignored Dai Mubai and swung his sword again. Blood-red Sword Light skimmed straight along Dai Mubai's arm. The clothing over his arm was instantly sliced away, along with a large patch of skin and some flesh.

"Argh! It hurts!" Dai Mubai could not help screaming as he stared at Xu Ran in horror. He had never expected Xu Ran to have so little regard for propriety. He had already surrendered, yet Xu Ran was still attacking him, and so viciously at that.

Accustomed to throwing his weight around, he completely failed to realize that he had been the first to try to harass Xu Ran's woman. He had also forgotten that he had been the first to release his Martial Soul, intending to teach Xu Ran a lesson.

He wanted to leave after merely saying he surrendered. How could Xu Ran possibly let him off?

Still, if the person he had offended today had not been Xu Ran, someone else might have chosen to stop. After all, rashly offending a Genius Soul Master with a top-tier Power Attack System Martial Soul was hardly prudent.

But Xu Ran had no such concerns. Dai Mubai's status counted for nothing before him. In fact, as long as he revealed Dai Mubai's whereabouts to Dai Weisi, Dai Weisi would act directly to kill him.

Dai Mubai could be killed within the Heaven Dou Empire without gods or ghosts knowing. If Dai Weisi knew Dai Mubai was hiding somewhere so remote, he would probably be wild with joy. After all, what problem was there with an unidentified person dying in some mountain backwater?

If Dai Mubai were in Heaven Dou City, it would be much trickier. After all, it would also be easy for the fact that he had sent someone to kill Dai Mubai to come to light.

"Xu Ran, I was wrong, all right? I'll never provoke your woman again. I won't even spare her another glance," Dai Mubai pleaded.

Seeing Xu Ran's icy gaze, as though he were looking at a corpse, Dai Mubai grew afraid.

Xu Ran's strength far surpassed his. If he kept fighting Xu Ran, he might even die. So he could no longer care about his dignity as a prince and begged for mercy outright.

"Too late," Xu Ran said coldly, without the slightest sympathy for Dai Mubai. He swung his sword again, instantly slicing a chunk of flesh from Dai Mubai's uninjured arm.

What Xu Ran hated most was someone coveting his woman. Although he and Xiao Wu had not yet established their relationship, in his heart, he already regarded Xiao Wu as his woman. Anyone he set his sights on would only belong to him.

He was not that broad-minded. He could not bear to watch the woman he liked being held in someone else's arms, then carrying someone else's child in the future.

His view of love was selfish possession. If he could not have her, any talk of love was all bullshit.
