"Heh, sure enough, an Evil Soul Master is still an Evil Soul Master. Rivers and mountains may change, but a person's nature is hard to alter."
Xian Lin'er pointed at Electrolux in fury as she spoke, but as she did, only indifference remained in his eyes.
"Prejudice in a person's heart is like a towering mountain. Since you insist on attacking, I'll grant your wish."
The moment his words fell, Electrolux raised his hand, and the gates of the undead opened.
Countless undead poured out, and a Bone Dragon headed straight for Zhang Lexuan.
An adult Bone Dragon possessed strength comparable to a Titled Douluo's.
Seeing this, Xian Lin'er instinctively tried to stop it, only to find another Bone Dragon charging out of nowhere, straight at her.
"Damn it!"
Xian Lin'er cursed and could only engage the Bone Dragon first.
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and sent Elder Yi a voice transmission.
"There's no need to reason with them. That Shrek trash doesn't deserve to hear it. Kill them all."
Electrolux nodded and raised his hand. A terrifying Blood Curse struck Yan Shaozhe in an instant.
Yan Shaozhe's expression changed drastically. Seeing that Electrolux was about to attack again, he could only pull away while trying to resist with flames of light.
Yet his resistance seemed somewhat futile. Under the effects of Electrolux's Withering Spell, Yan Shaozhe could clearly feel his vitality draining away at a frenzied pace.
As Electrolux raised his hand to unleash another Undead Scourge, Yan Shaozhe could only dodge frantically, narrowly escaping it.
Down below, Zhang Lexuan was also under immense pressure.
An adult Bone Dragon was comparable to a Titled Douluo.
Although he was a Soul Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, he still struggled to deal with it and could only have Han Ruoruo help him resist.
Some of the remaining undead creatures trapped the other members of the Shrek team, forcing them into a bitter fight.
Although Electrolux had primarily summoned two undead Bone Dragons this time, and the remaining undead army was relatively small, numbering only a few hundred to a thousand,
every one of them possessed strength comparable to a Soul King or Soul Emperor.
That meant that if the Shrek team couldn't get reinforcements, they would be worn down until they died.
This added to the pressure on Zhang Lexuan, as well as Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and the others.
Huo Yuhao, meanwhile, simply watched at his leisure from the side.
Then, at that moment, he heard a few resentful accusations coming from below.
"You damned Evil Soul Masters ought to be wiped out to the last one!"
Huo Yuhao looked over and saw that Ma Xiaotao had spoken. The corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
He shook his head, but when his gaze fell on Dai Yueheng, he raised an eyebrow, as if he had remembered something.
After exchanging a glance with Electrolux, he walked down.
Looking at the Shrek members who were under siege,
Huo Yuhao spoke with a faint smile.
"Actually, I can give you a chance too."
"Don't you want fairness? Then let him fight me."
"Dear brother, if you can win, I can consider having these undead stop attacking you. How about it?"
Dai Yueheng was ready to explode with anger when he heard that.
Yet even now, Dai Yueheng didn't recognize Huo Yuhao at first.
That was because Huo Yuhao had instinctively activated Heavenly Silkworm Transformation.
Only after Huo Yuhao removed the disguise of Heavenly Silkworm Transformation did Dai Yueheng look at him and seem to remember something.
His pupils instinctively contracted, and even the Soul Skill he was using came to a halt. His face turned deathly pale.
He also knew about something that hateful Evil Soul Master had said.
He had said something to his father, Dai Hao, about being a good father.
At the time, Dai Yueheng had taken it as nothing more than a provocation and an insult from an Evil Soul Master.
But looking at Huo Yuhao's face, he remembered.
That person was none other than the thorn in his mother's eye and flesh, the bastard from the Duke's Mansion...
He was also the person his idiot younger brother most liked to bully. As for Dai Yueheng, although he had kicked him a couple of times too, he had paid him no attention at all after Huo Yuhao awakened his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul with rank-one Innate Soul Power.
Back then, Huo Yuhao had been nothing more than trash in his eyes, naturally not worth any further attention.
But now, looking at Huo Yuhao's face and matching it to that piece of trash,
how could he not be shocked?
At the same time, the Shrek team's expressions turned somewhat ugly, and Ma Xiaotao instinctively looked at Dai Yueheng.
The others did the same, because as things stood, it seemed they really had no choice but to take the gamble.
As for Huo Yuhao,
one reason he had proposed a one-on-one fight with Dai Yueheng was to test his own strength.
The other was that, upon seeing Dai Yueheng, he had felt his body tremble slightly, along with a hatred that seemed to seep from his very bones.
It seemed that although the original owner of this body was dead, some obsessions had still been engraved into it.
In that case, he might as well grant his wish.
Dai Yueheng took a deep breath and calmed himself, but he was still more dazed than anything. A piece of trash had become an Evil Soul Master?
At a word from Huo Yuhao, the undead creatures stopped moving.
They silently cleared a path for Dai Yueheng and Huo Yuhao.
"You?"
Dai Yueheng spoke, his tone still more disdainful and condescending than anything else.
Although he didn't know what Huo Yuhao was, or how he had somehow gotten to know this powerful Evil Soul Master, what could someone with a rank-one innate Martial Soul do even if he became an Evil Soul Master?
At that moment, Huo Yuhao gave him his answer. Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet.
White-gold, black, black.
For an instant, even the air seemed to fall silent.
They all knew that a white Soul Ring represented ten years.
But what the hell was white-gold?
And this was, in fact, the true color of Tian Meng's Million-Year Soul Ring.
As for Dai Yueheng, he felt somewhat dizzy.
He distinctly remembered his idiot younger brother Dai Huabin mentioning in passing that Huo Yuhao had struggled desperately and still hadn't even broken through rank ten.
But how had he become a Soul Elder now? His Soul Power had even reached rank thirty-seven?
Although he was shaken, Dai Yueheng remained calm and even kept his condescending manner.
The other Shrek Inner Court disciples were the same.
Dai Yueheng was now at the peak of rank fifty-eight, not far from becoming a Soul Emperor.
Everyone knew what Shrek Inner Court disciples were said to be: invincible against opponents of the same rank, and even capable of fighting across ranks.
If he couldn't even beat a three-ring Soul Elder, that would be a real wonder.
For some reason, though, Dai Yueheng found one thing strange: why had Huo Yuhao's eyes changed? Not only had they turned purple, but those Double Pupils were like an abyss, exerting an inexplicable pressure on him. He quickly shook his head.
He figured it was something unique to Huo Yuhao's spiritual-type Martial Soul.
As for the explosive rise in his cultivation, he had probably used some Evil Soul Master's dark arts, something like turning evil and becoming ten times stronger.
After all, he had sided with Electrolux.
Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Yueheng, who still wore that condescending expression.
He couldn't help sending a voice transmission in a somewhat playful tone.
"Dear brother, you should know who I really am, shouldn't you? Do you have the guts to admit it...?"
