Yu Tianheng's face darkened when he heard that.
Who did he think he was looking down on?!
"I have to say, Yu Tianlong, you really do have a silver tongue. You actually managed to sweet-talk a young lady into falling for your lies."
"You even got Aunt to defy the clan for you. Let's see how long you can keep up this act!"
Yu Tianlong grew somewhat impatient at that.
"Hey, are you going to fight or not?"
"Don't tell me you're scared?"
Sure enough, those words sent Yu Tianheng into a rage, and he immediately released his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
Under everyone's gaze, a dazzling ball of blue light suddenly lit up between Yu Tianlong's brows as he underwent Martial Soul Possession.
It instantly spread, descending from between his brows throughout his body. Streaks of blue-violet lightning burst forth like little snakes, winding around him, and a blue lightning mark appeared on his forehead.
At the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster level, his right forearm swelled into a dragon arm, becoming extremely thick and growing over half a foot longer, covered entirely in blue-violet scales.
His right hand became a dragon claw covered in the same scales, every joint growing exceptionally thick.
His Soul Rings circled this specially mutated arm rather than his body, unlike those of other Soul Masters.
After releasing his Martial Soul, Yu Tianheng did not attack immediately. Instead, he looked at Yu Tianlong and spoke in a voice full of disdain:
"Don't say I'm bullying you. Summon your Martial Soul!"
Yu Tianlong looked around, and after seeing that the venue was large enough, he said with a smile:
"Back up a little. I'm afraid my Martial Soul might crush you."
Yu Tianheng scoffed.
"That Martial Soul of yours isn't even as big as a thumb. How could it crush... me????!"
Since Yu Tianheng refused to retreat, Yu Tianlong naturally did not hesitate and immediately summoned Cho'Gath.
"Little Cho, come out and play."
"Roar!!!!"
With a roar from The Void, Cho'Gath appeared directly inside the venue.
The instant that enormous body landed, the entire venue shook!
Yu Tianheng was lucky enough to be standing just in front of Cho'Gath's enormous foot, narrowly avoiding being trampled beneath it.
"There, I've summoned my Martial Soul. We can start Soul Fighting now."
Yu Tianlong's words brought everyone out of their shock.
But as they looked at the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared before them, they all swallowed involuntarily.
Yu Tianheng, in particular, was utterly dumbfounded when he saw that he would have to fight a monster like this!
Seeing that Yu Tianheng showed no inclination to act, Yu Tianlong no longer wanted to keep playing.
He immediately spoke directly to Cho'Gath:
"Since this supposed cousin of mine won't make the first move, Little Cho, end this fight!"
"Oh, and just leave him alive. Don't worry about anything else!"
Cho'Gath nodded in understanding.
He extended a pincer-shaped claw and reached for Yu Tianheng.
The moment Yu Tianheng saw the attack, he reacted, shooting backward in hopes of putting some distance between them.
After running almost twenty meters, Yu Tianheng thought he was safe. Yet the instant he looked back, he discovered that the pincer-shaped claw had already reached him.
"How is that possible!!!!"
Had this monster teleported over? He hadn't heard the slightest sound!
As it turned out, Yu Tianheng's guess was right!
When Cho'Gath saw his opponent turn and run at their first encounter, he did not even take a step to pursue him.
He simply teleported behind Yu Tianheng, seized him, and began shaking his claw up and down.
Every time Yu Tianheng tried to use a Soul Skill, Cho'Gath's violent shaking interrupted him.
At that moment, Yu Tianheng felt like a toy in this monster's grasp, utterly incapable of resisting!
He could not even concede. Every time he opened his mouth, gusts of fierce wind poured in.
He made a "hahahaha" sound.
Seeing Yu Tianheng like this, the looks in Qin Ming's and the others' eyes changed.
"Tian Heng really does have nerves of steel. He can still laugh at a time like this. A genius indeed!"
"Boss, you're fucking awesome!"
"Boss, you're mighty!"
Although Yu Tianheng felt as if his brains were about to be shaken out, he could still hear what the people below were saying.
Was this laughter?!
He was about to throw up!
Laugh, my ass!
Hurry up and get him down!
At that moment, Yu Tianheng truly felt that he was going to die!
After all, the monster's claw was squeezing tighter and tighter. He felt as if his body were about to be pinched in half!
How was this Soul Fighting? This was one-sided torment!
Yes, he regretted it. He regretted not listening to Qin Ming, regretted not believing the findings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire.
Hadn't he served himself up just to have his face slapped?
And he was getting his face slapped right in front of Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, no less!
At that moment, Yu Tianheng truly wished he could die!
Meanwhile, in contrast to Yu Tianheng's wretched state, Yu Tianlong was utterly at ease. He was even in the mood to chat and laugh with Ning Rongrong.
As the seconds and minutes passed, everyone initially found it novel. Yu Tianheng certainly lived up to his name, still able to laugh even under these circumstances.
But gradually, they realized something was wrong.
They saw that blood had begun seeping from Yu Tianheng's body, and vomit kept spilling from the corners of his mouth.
He had even lost consciousness completely.
Noticing this, Qin Ming hurried over to Yu Tianlong.
"Um, Tian Heng can't take much more. Let's end this Soul Fight here. You've won!"
Qin Ming's words rang in Yu Tianlong's ears, but Yu Tianlong paid them no mind.
"Huh? Doesn't it end when the opponent concedes?"
"Teacher, he hasn't conceded yet!"
Seeing that Yu Tianlong did not care in the slightest whether Yu Tianheng lived or died, Qin Ming took a deep breath.
"Yu Tianlong, although I don't know what grievances you have with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I think you'd better let Yu Tianheng go."
"Even if you have powerful backers, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan decides to kill you regardless of everything else, you definitely won't be able to withstand them!"
"After all, they have high hopes for Yu Tianheng."
Yu Tianlong naturally understood this, so he had never intended to kill Yu Tianheng in the first place. His own life was precious, even with Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, and the others backing him.
If a Titled Douluo went mad and insisted on killing him regardless of the consequences, it really would be impossible to guard against.
Before his strength had fully developed, Yu Tianlong naturally did not want to take that risk.
But he was not happy about simply letting the other man go either. At that thought, Yu Tianlong suddenly spoke to Cho'Gath in his mind.
Little Cho, use your bone spikes to break his little brother!
After spending these past two years at Yu Tianlong's side, Cho'Gath had absorbed what he saw and heard and naturally understood what Yu Tianlong meant. Without the slightest hesitation, his outer surface began to churn, and bone spikes soon grew from his pincer-shaped claw.
Out of everyone's sight, he swept them across and pierced straight through!
"Aaaah!!!!!!!!!"
As a piercing scream rang out, Yu Tianlong instantly felt as though his very soul had ascended!
