Hu Jie's roar echoed throughout the data center, his eyes filled with fury.
He never expected that he would be caught off guard and have such a big commotion caused by two enemies on his own turf.
What surprised Hu Jie even more was that the person who punched him was incredibly powerful, and with the addition of his own burning Soul Power, he suffered a great loss for a moment.
"Is he from the Green Skull organization? That's unlikely... When did such a capable person appear on the Star Luo Continent?"
While pondering this, Hu Jie had already led the Tang Sect experts to pursue the invaders.
Yu Qitian crossed his arms and looked at his son's disheveled appearance, his face darkening.
"What were you doing out so late at night?"
Yu Longyue scratched his head and whispered, "I just went to the toilet..."
A hint of suspicion flashed in Yu Qitian's eyes. He knew his son was no pushover. His sudden disappearance for several minutes late at night, and his return in such a disheveled state, especially considering he had just recently recovered from the state of spontaneous combustion of his Soul Power, must be suspicious. But since his son didn't ask him for help, he wouldn't press the matter further.
After all, the child has grown up and has his own things to do. It's exhausting to keep an eye on him every day, let alone the child.
"If you encounter any danger or feel unsure about what to do, come to us, understand?"
Faced with her father's admonition, Yu Longyue nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"You brat." Yu Qitian raised his hand and pressed on his shoulder, then ignored him. "Try to cover up your injuries."
Yu Qitian's gaze swept over Yu Longyue, noticing the torn hem of his son's clothes, the dust on his face, and the obvious signs of a fight. His words revealed a hint of concern.
"Knew."
Yu Qitian didn't say anything more and turned to leave without hesitation.
Seeing that her father didn't pursue the matter, Yu Longyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your dad is really open-minded." Behind him, Huo Yuhao, who was even more disheveled than him, lowered his head and revealed his true form.
Yu Longyue nodded, then suddenly his pupils contracted sharply as a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
He sensed a powerful fluctuation of Soul Power rapidly approaching their location.
Have they tracked us down here?
The next second, Hu Jie's killing move arrived. His figure appeared like Gui Mei where they were hiding. Powerful Soul Power gathered in his palm, and he struck Huo Yuhao's back. If this palm hit, Huo Yuhao would surely die.
Yu Longyue reacted extremely quickly. He stretched out his arm and shoved Huo Yuhao away. Huo Yuhao's body was pushed forward by the force, narrowly avoiding Hu Jie's fatal blow.
"Boom!"
Hu Jie's palm struck the wall behind Huo Yuhao, and the powerful Soul Power blasted a large hole in the wall. Debris and dust flew everywhere, and the entire space was filled with a pungent smell of dust.
Huo Yuhao was pushed to the ground, but he quickly rolled to the side, dodging the flying pebbles.
His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with shock. He knew that if Yu Longyue hadn't intervened in time, he would already be a corpse, unable even to self-destruct.
This person actually managed to evade his Spiritual Detection; indeed, one should never underestimate any Titled Douluo in the modern era.
It's on a completely different level compared to ten thousand years ago.
After pushing Huo Yuhao away, Yu Longyue quickly turned to face Hu Jie.
Hu Jie, however, was relentless and, with her large pregnant belly, was about to crash into Yu Longyue.
"When--"
As if struck by a giant bell, an overwhelming and terrifying force surged forth, causing Yu Longyue to sway but remain motionless.
Hu Jie's expression changed slightly.
What a talented young man! He actually managed to withstand my attack without falling.
Hu Jie once again thrust out his golden belly, each attack filled with oppressive force. His Soul Power fluctuated intensely, and each strike was accompanied by the force of Thunderous Might.
Yu Longyue's figure appeared exceptionally agile under Hu Jie's attacks; he was like a phantom, constantly weaving through the gaps in Hu Jie's attacks.
After several rounds of fighting, Yu Longyue gradually adapted to Hu Jie's attack rhythm. After dodging Hu Jie's belly charge once again, the lightning power on Yu Longyue's right hand moved like a living thing, emitting a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble. With a soft shout, his dragon claw, carrying the power of lightning, suddenly grabbed at Hu Jie's abdomen.
Hu Jie looked confident; the hardest part of his body was his stomach, which not only didn't recede but actually pushed forward.
"Boom!"
Yu Longyue's dragon claws collided violently with Hu Jie's stomach, producing a deafening roar. The collision of lightning power and golden Soul Power generated a powerful explosion, and the shockwave blew everything around them away.
Hu Jie's body involuntarily staggered back a few steps under the impact of this tremendous force.
Yu Longyue did not continue the pursuit. She quickly adjusted her breathing and prepared to meet Hu Jie's next counterattack.
" Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, who are you?" Hu Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing up the handsome young man in white in front of him.
The two people who came to invade the Tang Sect were a powerful figure who valued strength above all else and could even defeat him, and Spiritual System Soul Master like Huo Yuhao.
So Hu Jie followed the escape trail all the way here, and immediately suspected Huo Yuhao, even though he was just a teenager like Yu Longyue.
As for the person in front of them, they hadn't suspected him at first, but now they were starting to suspect him; this person was quite powerful...
" Smiling Douluo, what is the meaning of this?" Yu Longyue asked, somewhat puzzled. Seven rings rose from beneath her feet, her Martial Soul Possession, and her right hand transformed into a dragon's hand. "We are newcomers to the Star Luo Continent, and we even have a cooperative relationship with your Tang Sect. Is this a welcoming ceremony on behalf of the Tang Sect?"
"Your acting is just too good..." Huo Yuhao thought to himself, sweating bullets.
"So it's the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? A pleasure to meet you." Hu Jie smiled immediately upon seeing that this person was only a seventh-ring cultivator. "This must be the legendary God Level Martial Soul possessor, Yu Longyue. Meeting you today, you are indeed extraordinary."
Yu Longyue shook her right hand. "Oh dear, our family even has a cooperative relationship with your Tang Sect, Your Majesty. Your attack almost broke my hand!"
"It's mainly because your attacks are too strong. I have to put in some effort too. You're only at the seventh ring cultivation level, and you're already so powerful after just one or two moves. If I go all out, I'm not sure if I can beat you," Hu Jie said with a smile, his true thoughts unreadable.
At this moment, Yu Qitian, who had noticed the fluctuation of Soul Power here, also Teleportation to Yu Longyue's side. His gaze on Hu Jie suddenly turned sharp, and he was about to make another move.
" Sect Master Yu, this is a misunderstanding." Hu Jie, sensing Yu Qitian's imposing aura, immediately explained. He didn't want this misunderstanding to escalate into a conflict between the two major forces. "I simply saw these two young friends loitering near the Tang Sect and assumed they were members of the Green Skull organization, so I tested them out."
Upon seeing her father's arrival and noticing his impending attack, Yu Longyue quickly said, "Dad, it's a misunderstanding! I was just sparring with His Majesty the Smiling Douluo."
Yu Qitian then gave up and glanced at Hu Jie:
"I thought you'd gone to be a lackey of the Evil Soul Master and were planning to kill my son, since I sensed you came with murderous intent from the start."
Hu Jie was both amused and exasperated. " Sect Master Yu, you can't say things like that so carelessly. It's too easy for people to misunderstand."
