What's the problem?
Pei Han glanced at Yu Tianheng: "If I were to injure or severely injure him during this battle, would your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan seek revenge against me?"
When asked, Yu Tianheng chuckled and said, " The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has its own pride. Today, I am the one who initiated this challenge. If I am defeated and injured during the process, it can only be said that my skills are inferior. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will not make things difficult for you or your family."
"If you don't believe me, I swear on the honor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that after this battle, regardless of the outcome, this matter will be wiped clean!"
Seeing Yu Tianheng say these words in front of everyone, Pei Han finally let go of his fear.
However, he did not agree directly. Instead, he looked at Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, cupped his hands, and said, "Today's banquet was hosted by Your Highness, but unfortunately some problems arose midway through. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Xue Qinghe waved his hand and smiled, "It's alright. Speaking of which, I'm also eager to witness the upcoming battle. How about this: I'll preside over your battle. If either side is dissatisfied with the result afterward and seeks revenge, then they will be making an enemy of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!"
"Then I will trouble Your Highness."
After speaking, Yu Tianheng and Pei Han moved outside the hall.
This was originally a battle between juniors, but both sides had extremely impressive backgrounds, and the fact that it was Four-Ring versus a fifth-ring battle added even more interest to the fight.
So all the people who came to attend the palace banquet came out of the hall, looking forward to the next battle between the two, which would add some excitement to this otherwise unremarkable palace banquet.
Before the battle began, Dugu Yan held Yu Tianheng's hand, her eyes full of concern.
As a Soul Master, she knew best how big the gap was between the two. Yu Tianheng had great talent, but he was still young. Although his current Soul Power Level was over forty, which almost crushed his peers, Pei Han had the advantage of age and his Soul Power Level was more than ten levels higher than his. That was a whole major realm difference. Yu Tianheng would find it extremely difficult to not only defeat him, but even to contend with him.
If possible, Dugu Yan would rather Yu Tianheng not go.
But after spending this time together, she realized that once Yu Tianheng made a decision, he would not easily change it.
So she could only remind him, " Tian Heng, if you can't beat him, then just admit defeat. His strength far surpasses yours, so there's no shame in admitting defeat. You're still young. As long as you have a few more years to cultivate, surpassing Pei Han is only a matter of time. Don't be reckless!" Dugu Yan held Yu Tianheng's hand and said with concern.
Yu Tianheng also gripped Dugu Yan's hand tightly. " Yanyan, my challenge to Pei Han this time is not only for the honor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but also for you. Just thinking about how you were held hostage by him before fills me with immense anger, and I wish I could kill him on the spot!"
Hearing Yu Tianheng say that this battle was for her sake, Dugu Yan was deeply moved, her eyes filled with tears, and she almost cried.
Although Dugu Yan was proud and ruthless, she was still a woman. How could she remain unmoved when she saw her beloved man risking his life to face a powerful enemy for her sake?
Without a word, Dugu Yan immediately threw herself into Yu Tianheng's arms and whispered a threat, "You must come back safely. If you are even slightly injured, even if your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan doesn't intervene, I will have my grandfather wipe out the Pei Clan!"
Yu Tianheng smiled helplessly after hearing this, thinking to himself: What a willful woman, but it's still quite satisfying to hear her say that.
" Yanyan, if—I mean, if I can beat Pei Han this time—could you grant me a small request?" Yu Tianheng suddenly thought of something and hugged Dugu Yan with a mischievous smile.
"Sure, as long as you can defeat Pei Han and return safely, I'll grant you any request. I promise I won't go back on my word."
Having achieved his goal, Yu Tianheng was satisfied and turned to walk towards the agreed-upon location.
Pei Han had been waiting for a long time. When Yu Tianheng arrived, he smiled disdainfully, "I was curious before that you would fight me even though you knew you were no match for me. Now I know, it was all for a woman. I never thought that the young patriarch of the dignified Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be such a sentimental person. It's truly laughable."
"Is it laughable? I don't think so. Everyone has something they want to protect, and so do you. Didn't you have murderous intentions for your brother before?" Yu Tianheng retorted.
Pei Han remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Alright, enough talk, let's start fighting. I want to see how many moves you can last."
After saying that, Pei Han performed Martial Soul Possession. His Martial Soul was the Blood Wolf, a high-level Beast Martial Soul.
He let out a low shout, and a blood-red mist suddenly erupted from his body, surging like boiling magma. Dark red patterns spread from his chest, crawling up his neck and face like living creatures, and the air was filled with a chilling smell of blood.
His body began to twist and deform violently, his bones made a teeth-grinding cracking sound, his legs bent backward, and sharp claws grew from his feet, each nail gleaming with a Youyou light.
His arms were bulging with muscles, veins were standing out beneath his face, and his hands were transformed into wolf claws covered in barbs, with dark purple venom flowing from his fingertips.
Its spine protrudes from its back, extending into a wolf tail covered in sharp thorns, which leaves deep marks on the ground with each swing.
His head underwent a dramatic transformation, with sharp bone spurs sprouting from both sides of his cheeks, his nose protruding into a wolf's snout, and sharp fangs piercing the corners of his lips, causing scarlet blood to drip down his chin.
A pair of furry wolf ears emerged from the top of his head, the white hairs at the tips of his ears fluttering in the wind, while his eyes had completely turned into vertical pupils, and bloodthirsty flames danced in his scarlet eyes.
Crimson mist condensed behind him into a gigantic phantom of Blood Wolf, its mouth wide open, revealing its gleaming white fangs, as if it were about to pounce and tear its enemies to shreds at any moment. At this moment, Pei Han had transformed into a Blood Wolf from hell, exuding a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Pei Han's Soul Power surged, locking onto Yu Tianheng. He wanted to end this farce as quickly as possible.
Without further ado, Yu Tianheng summoned his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, and a massive dragon radiating blue lightning appeared behind Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng cultivates both Martial Dao and Martial Soul simultaneously, and the combined combat power of the two is enough to defeat a high-level Soul King. However, due to the large number of spectators, Yu Tianheng can only use his Martial Soul to fight against him.
He knew that Pei Han was exceptionally strong, with Soul Power Level far exceeding his own, so he dared not slack off in the slightest.
He immediately unleashed the Third Soul Skill his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul: Thunderous Fury.
A surge of blue-purple light erupted around him, accompanied by crackling Thunder. Then, with a roar, a powerful aura burst forth from his body, instantly increasing his lightning power by one hundred percent and his Soul Power by fifty percent. He seemed to have transformed into Thunder God descending to earth.
