The Rampant Death God
At this moment, Dai Hao looked at Huo Yuhao with anger and disbelief. Although he was prepared to bleed a lot, he would accept it even if the other party directly appointed him as the successor of the next duke.
The Dai Family, possessing the Twin Martial Souls martial souls of the Body Martial Soul Spirit Eyes and the Ice Fang White Tiger, are fully qualified to inherit everything from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion; in fact, they could be considered the best candidates.
However, no matter how much Dai Hao planned, he never expected Huo Yuhao to make such a request!
Just now, Huo Yuhao, wearing a strange smile, asked me, "Use this to kill Dai Huabin."
After saying that, a dagger appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand. The dagger had a sharp blade, a white handle, and a white tiger head on the bottom.
Dai Hao immediately recognized it as the engagement gift he had given to Huo Yun'er: the White Tiger Dagger!
But now she completely disregarded the engagement token from the past, and shouted, "I know Huabin is an unlikable child, but you can't act like this no matter what your conflicts are! No matter how much you deny it, he's still your brother!"
Seeing that White Tiger Duke was already burning with renewed anger, Huo Yuhao showed no sign of panic.
Huo Yuhao, instead, sneered and said, "Brother? A brother who kicked my mother to death?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Hao's anger completely subsided. His second son had kicked his third son's mother to death?!?
What kind of nonsense is this?!? Why would something like this happen?!
His two sons should know very well how much they love their wives, and if his unfilial sons were to hurt them one day, he would definitely teach them a lesson.
But now you're telling Dai Hao that his most beloved personal maid died at the hands of his second son!
?!?
That can't be! Every woman who became Dai Hao's concubine held a certain status in the Duke's Mansion.
These weren't servants who could be easily replaced. Surely Huabin couldn't have mistaken her for a servant and given Huo Yun'er a beating?
But seeing Huo Yuhao's resentful expression, he knew that this was very likely true.
After much deliberation, Dai Hao said heavily, "Please allow me to conduct an investigation. If what you say is true, then I will give him the punishment he deserves. However, no matter how disobedient he is, he is still my son, so at most I can only cripple his Soul Power as an apology."
Upon hearing Dai Hao's reply, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but scoff. Clearly, he wasn't very satisfied with this approach, but this was the best Dai Hao could do.
After all, Dai Hao's relationship with Dai Huabin wasn't as strained as his own; after all, Dai Huabin was the man Dai Hao had once considered the best successor to the Duke's Mansion.
For any father, killing his own son is not an easy thing to do, unless that father is a scoundrel.
Although Dai Hao is a scumbag who juggles multiple relationships, a workaholic who neglects his family, and has a son like Huo Yuhao, even he knows which lines he cannot cross!
Therefore, Huo Yuhao didn't say anything to him, but quietly returned to his original camp to rest.
Dai Hao could only watch Huo Yuhao's departing figure in silence, and Nannan, "Is this heaven's punishment for me? What should I do?"
No one could give Dai Hao an answer to this, and he could only silently watch the dark night, harboring his unease about the future.
The next day, after having breakfast provided by the military camp, everyone left the camp.
They had obtained enough information from White Tiger Duke.
The Evil Soul Master they need to deal with before participating in the Soul Master Tournament has the ability to control corpses. Besides some Soul Master who are his subordinates, the rest are a group of thieves composed of corpse puppets.
That Evil Soul Master also called his band of thieves the Hand of Death and liked to call himself a Emissary of the Death God; the number of souls he had lost was countless.
Although we don't know the other person's past or why they did this, it's clear they've absolutely crossed the line.
So now everyone only has one thing to do, which is to send the other person to meet God so that he can properly repent!
As for that Evil Soul Master, his cultivation level was probably above level 50, which is the level of Soul King. Considering the Evil Soul Master's ability to fight beyond his level, fighting a Soul Emperor should not be a problem.
Among his subordinates were two or three Soul King level experts, and quite a few Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder level experts as well.
Fortunately, their team not only had two Soul Emperor, but also the anomaly Xu Xingyu.
Defeating the army of corpse puppets led by a few mere Soul King- level Evil Soul Master would be no big problem.
However, when they finally found their enemy in a cave under Wang Yan's guidance and engaged in battle, things didn't go as smoothly as they had imagined.
First, there are the subordinates and the corpse puppets. The corpse puppets are a bit more troublesome. Although their combat strength is average, they are unaware of pain and are immortal. They completely ignore their own injuries and only focus on attacking them.
It was incredibly frustrating to fight them, because unless their limbs were completely broken, these corpse puppets would keep harassing them.
Fortunately, they are rather slow to act and somewhat inflexible, so aside from being a bit troublesome, they can still be dealt with.
But the situation with the subordinates is less certain. As mentioned before, besides the leader's Evil Soul Master being Soul King, there are other Soul King in this group, and the number of Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder is also quite large.
Their mobility is not as rigid as that of the corpse puppet, so apart from those with lower cultivation levels, it takes some Soul Power to deal with the others.
However, although they outnumbered each other, they were all ragtag individuals who had not received proper combat training, and were ultimately defeated by the powerful regular team members.
Seeing that his chances of survival were slim, the Emissary of the Death God immediately fled into the depths of the cave. Then, as the main team members gave chase, the Emissary of the Death God used his strongest Soul Skill, Corpse Explosion.
Countless corpses began to explode, and violent roars echoed through the cave. Terrifying explosions accompanied by flying blood and flesh scattered throughout the cave.
The explosions that occurred in areas with a high density of corpses were the most devastating, and thus the reserve teams that had not yet ventured deep into the caves were unaffected.
This made Xuan Zi was observing from the side, extremely anxious, because his beloved team members were all at the center of the explosion!
The instigator of the explosion Emissary of the Death God, laughed loudly, shouting, "Hahaha, hahahaha, this is what happens when you offend the Emissary of the Death God! How does my Corpse Explosion taste? No matter how strong you are, you are all doomed before my chain of Corpse Explosion. If you don't die from the explosion, you will be poisoned!"
After speaking, he looked at the liquid left behind after the explosion of the corpses. The liquid was as corrosive as strong acid, and the hissing sound of corrosion could be heard everywhere from the top of the cave to the walls.
This chilled the hearts of the reserve team and Xuan Zi. Even if the regular team members were still alive, being exposed to such toxins at the very center of the explosion would surely result in severe injuries, if not death!
However, just as the Sacrificial God's Messenger was laughing heartily and Xuan Zi was about to unleash his fury, a bright light at the center of the explosion attracted everyone's attention.
