Teaching Dai Mubai a Lesson, Almost Thought He'd Seen a Ghost!

"Mubai!" Seeing this, Ma Hongjun immediately released his Martial Soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix.

But it was a mutated barnyard chicken. It really didn't look anything like a phoenix!

Two Yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.

No matter how one looked at it, the sight was utterly ridiculous!

"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line!"

Ma Hongjun let out an angry roar, and a stream of scorching flame shot from his mouth straight at Dai Fei.

Dai Fei sneered and flashed aside, easily evading Ma Hongjun's attack.

His hands transformed into sharp claws that flashed with white light as he viciously swiped at Ma Hongjun.

He hadn't even used a Soul Skill. A wisp of Geng Metal Qi clung to his claws as they tore through the air, heading straight for Ma Hongjun's chest.

Ma Hongjun's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly retreated, but Dai Fei was too fast. He had no time to dodge.

"Damn it! Fatty, look out!"

Just as the claws were about to strike his chest, Dai Mubai suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Ma Hongjun.

"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai gave a low shout, and the phantom of the Evil Eye White Tiger spewed a powerful wave of light from its mouth, straight at Dai Fei.

A trace of coldness flashed in Dai Fei's eyes. Geng Metal Qi formed a golden barrier around him, easily blocking Dai Mubai's attack.

He flashed forward, appearing before Dai Mubai in an instant, and turned his claw into a fist as he struck.

For now, he had no intention of killing Dai Mubai outright.

Bang!

The punch sent Dai Mubai flying backward. He slammed heavily into a large tree and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Mubai!"

"Second Soul Skill: Phoenix Bathing in Fire!"

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun's eyes flashed with anger, and he unleashed another Soul Skill.

The barnyard chicken on the ground burned with fierce Evil Fire. Scorching flames instantly enveloped his body, greatly increasing his speed and strength.

Ma Hongjun roared and charged at Dai Fei.

Dai Fei, however, merely sneered and flashed aside, easily evading Ma Hongjun's attack.

His hands transformed into sharp claws that flashed with white light as he viciously swiped at Ma Hongjun.

The claws, imbued with Geng Metal Qi, tore through the air in an instant, heading straight for Ma Hongjun's chest.

It was terrifying! If they really struck him, the consequences would be unthinkable!

Ma Hongjun's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly retreated, but Dai Fei was too fast. He had no time to dodge.

Just as the claws were about to strike his chest, Dai Fei suddenly pulled back his strength and struck the back of Ma Hongjun's neck with his palm.

Bang! Ma Hongjun grunted and fell unconscious to the ground.

"Fatty!"

Seeing this, Dai Mubai's eyes flashed with anger. He struggled to his feet and unleashed another Soul Skill. "First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

The phantom of the Evil Eye White Tiger formed a shield around him, attempting to block Dai Fei's attack.

Dai Fei's Geng Metal Qi, however, was incomparably sharp and easily tore through Dai Mubai's shield.

The impact sent Dai Mubai staggering back several steps, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Why are you attacking us?!"

"We have no grudge against you, do we?!"

"Wearing a mask-is your face too shameful to show?!"

Dai Mubai demanded harshly, his eyes full of vigilance.

Dai Fei sneered and slowly removed the mask from his face, revealing his true appearance.

"My dear little brother, don't you even remember your second brother?" Dai Fei's voice was cold and mocking.

When Dai Mubai saw Dai Fei's face, it was as if lightning had struck him. His face turned pale in an instant.

His eyes were full of shock and fear, as though he had seen a ghost.

"You... You're Dai Fei?! Impossible! You're already dead! I watched you being buried with my own eyes!" Dai Mubai's voice trembled, his eyes full of disbelief.

Dai Fei sneered, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes. "Yes, everyone thought I was dead. Unfortunately, I'm still alive."

Dai Mubai's face was pale, his mind utterly blank, and his body trembled slightly. "You... What exactly do you want?"

Dai Fei looked at him coldly. "Dai Mubai, I came today to tell you one thing-the throne of the Star Luo Empire will be mine. You and Dai Weisi had better prepare yourselves."

A complicated look flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, and he said quietly, "Dai Fei, about what happened back then... I'm sorry."

"Sorry?"

Dai Fei sneered. "Dai Mubai, do you think one apology can make up for everything? Back then, you abandoned me and fled the Star Luo Empire alone to save yourself. Did you ever think about how I felt?"

Dai Mubai's expression changed, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. "Dai Fei, I... I had no choice. If I hadn't fled, we both would have died!"

"No choice?" Dai Fei's voice rose sharply, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes. "Dai Mubai, you choose to run away when you face danger! You don't deserve to be a prince of the Star Luo Empire!"

Dai Fei's words stung Dai Mubai, and his face turned pale. "Dai Fei, I know you hate me, but it's all in the past. We're both still alive now. Can't we put the past behind us? Don't go back to the Star Luo Empire. Let's just live a good life here in the Heaven Dou Empire. Wouldn't that be better? You know better than I do how dangerous the imperial family is! Otherwise, our eldest brother wouldn't have poisoned you to death!"

"Put it behind us? Hmph!" Dai Fei sneered. "Dai Mubai, you're too naive. The throne of the Star Luo Empire is destined to be mine! You and Dai Weisi have only one path left-death!"

Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically, and a flash of fear crossed his eyes. "Dai Fei, you... What do you want?"

Dai Fei looked at him coldly. "Dai Mubai, I came today to tell you one thing-the throne of the Star Luo Empire will be mine. You and Dai Weisi had better prepare yourselves."

"This time was just a greeting gift and a lesson. Playing around with women at your age? Instead of cultivating properly, you've brought nothing but shame on our Star Luo Dai Family!"

"I'll give you a chance to catch up to me, until I defeat you completely in the end!"

With that, Dai Fei turned and left, leaving Dai Mubai standing there alone, his face pale and his eyes full of complicated emotions.

In fact, Dai Fei had done this to stir up Dai Mubai's desire to grow stronger. Later on, his Slaughter Qi would become denser, and harvesting it would be of greater help to Dai Fei.

Right now, Dai Mubai was only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster. His Slaughter Qi was so weak that it wouldn't benefit Dai Fei in the slightest. He might as well fatten him up before the slaughter!

Dai Mubai watched Dai Fei's retreating figure, countless thoughts running through his mind.

He knew that Dai Fei's appearance meant the situation in the Star Luo Empire might undergo a tremendous change.

And he, a prince of the Star Luo Empire, had long since fled that place of strife.

"Dai Fei... What exactly do you want?" Dai Mubai murmured, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

He knew that Dai Fei's appearance meant the struggle for the Star Luo Empire's throne would once again stir up waves.

And he no longer wanted to be drawn into that struggle.

I can't go on like this. I have to get stronger as soon as possible! Dai Mubai silently resolved.

Just then, Ma Hongjun regained consciousness. Rubbing the back of his neck, he looked around blankly. "Mubai, who exactly was that guy? He clearly had the strength to kill us, so why didn't he?"

Dai Mubai came back to his senses and forced a faint smile. "Fatty, I'll tell you later. He and I have some connection... Could you not ask about it now? As for your injury, I'll give you some extra cultivation resources to make up for it next time..."

He had originally planned to make it up to him with more women, but as soon as he thought of what Dai Fei had just said, he spoke of cultivation resources instead.

Ma Hongjun frowned, clearly not quite believing Dai Mubai's explanation, but he didn't ask any more questions. He merely nodded. "Oh, all right. Let's go back, then."

Dai Mubai nodded and supported Ma Hongjun as they walked toward the academy.

Yet his heart still couldn't calm down. Dai Fei's appearance had made him feel an unprecedented pressure.

Dai Fei had appeared, and his ambitions were great. Dai Mubai's desire to grow stronger had become even more urgent!

If he didn't grow stronger, he would definitely die!

Meanwhile, Dai Fei had also set out on the road to Heaven Dou City!
