Killing Wang Hu

The fright sent him scrambling upright in bed. He hurriedly pulled on his clothes, his eyes blazing with anger. He wanted to see just who dared disturb his sleep.

As soon as Wang Hu left the master bedroom and entered the main hall, he saw a figure in pale blue martial robes standing before the entrance, smiling at him.

At the sight of the handsome Su Tianyu standing nearby, Wang Hu looked bewildered. He could not understand how this young man had so easily broken into the Wang Family's inner residence, or why none of the Wang Family had come to investigate the thunderous crash when he kicked the main doors flying. A faint, uneasy sense of danger welled up in him.

But he was no pushover. A White Soul Ring rose beneath his feet, and his expression changed. His whole face flushed red with anger as he said venomously:

"Young man, I don't know why no one noticed you, but you've broken into the Wang Family's inner residence. Never mind. Once I capture you, I'll find out everything."

A malicious look appeared on Wang Hu's face. He glared fiercely at Su Tianyu, and the White Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.

"First Soul Skill, Black Rat Claw."

A black rat claw, condensed from the Soul Skill, formed in midair and suddenly clawed swiftly at the figure standing by the entrance.

The black rat claw pierced through the figure's chest. A glint of amusement flashed in Wang Hu's eyes, and his face lit up with the delight of a successful sneak attack. He burst out laughing.

"Did you really think you could enter my Wang Family's home whenever you pleased? You really don't know whether to live or die. Once I find out who you are, I'll see just what kind of person dared attack my Wang Family in the dead of night."

"Wang Hu, you thought a Soul Skill from a White Soul Ring had enough power to kill me? Then you're celebrating a little too early."

Su Tianyu immediately revealed himself in a dark corner of the hall.

"What? Didn't my Soul Skill just pierce your chest? Was the figure standing at the entrance a fake?"

Wang Hu stood dumbstruck, seemingly unable to believe that what he had seen with his own eyes was fake. He opened his mouth and instinctively voiced the question on his mind.

"Real or fake, you don't need to know. You won't be able to see it in a moment anyway. I'll show you great mercy and let you know that the consequence of your Wang Family offending me is the extermination of your entire clan."

Su Tianyu looked at Wang Hu with cold indifference, his reply chilling to the bone.

"You're Su Tianyu, the one who defeated my nephew Wang Lei in the Heaven Lake Intermediate Academy competition? Two months ago, Wang Shan followed you to Heavenly Eye Forest to hunt you down. No wonder I haven't seen Wang Shan return in two months. So you killed him."

Wang Hu stared in terror at Su Tianyu, speaking incoherently. As he spoke, he shouted loudly for help from outside.

"Stop shouting. My domain can block both sound and the view inside it. Outsiders can neither hear nor see anything that happens within my domain."

With that, one yellow and one purple Soul Ring slowly rose beneath Su Tianyu's feet. The Yellow Soul Ring remained lit the entire time.

His First Soul Skill could keep the domain open continuously while consuming very little of his Soul Power. Only if he activated realm creation to alter the surroundings and suppress his opponent would his Soul Power be rapidly depleted.

"How is that possible? Your Second Soul Ring is actually a Thousand-Year Soul Ring? No Soul Master could have a Thousand-Year Soul Ring as their Second Soul Ring. I don't believe it! It's fake, it must be fake! This is a trick to fool my eyes, isn't it? Don't think you can fool me again!"

His hair disheveled, Wang Hu stared fixedly at the Purple Soul Ring beneath Su Tianyu's feet and roared like a madman.

"Mental Shock."

Su Tianyu swiftly controlled the spiritual power roaming through the domain and delivered a fatal blow to Wang Hu.

"Ah!"

A scream of unspeakable agony erupted from Wang Hu's mouth. Bright red blood streamed from his mouth, nose, and all seven orifices, making the disheveled Wang Hu look even more like an evil ghost unleashed from hell.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track."

His entire body became a ghostly figure as he swiftly closed in on Wang Hu and slammed a fist into his face.

A grating impact rang out. Wang Hu's body flew through the air and crashed heavily onto the floor tiles more than five meters away.

After a cloud of dust rose, Wang Hu slowly pulled himself up from the floor. His face had caved in, and blood poured from the wound. His vision blurred, he looked at the figure nearby and tried to light up his Soul Ring again.

"Hmph. You want to light up your Soul Ring and use a Soul Skill again? Did you ask whether my Hidden Weapons would allow it?"

Su Tianyu used his thoughts to take a handful of Hidden Weapons from his Storage Soul Tool. With a flick of his wrist, he flung them at Wang Hu.

"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh."

The Hidden Weapons let out whispers like the god of death. With several wet puffs, they struck Wang Hu's throat and the vital points on his chest.

"Ghh... ghh..."

A series of guttural sounds came from Wang Hu's mouth. His body struggled for a moment, and soon afterward, with unwillingness on his face and a longing for life in his eyes, he fell heavily backward.

Seeing Wang Hu fall, he hurried forward and delivered a finishing blow. He then entered the master bedroom, where he found Wang Hu's wife sitting on the bed, trembling.

"I'm sorry, madam. I'll have to ask you to reunite with your husband in the underworld."

With that, Su Tianyu flicked his wrist. An iron nail flew swiftly from his hand and plunged straight into the head of Wang Hu's wife, who was sitting nearby on the bed, trembling. Blood quickly poured down the woman's forehead. Her terrified, uneasy expression froze on her face, and she slowly fell backward, her eyes wide open in death.

After watching the life leave the woman and her chest stop rising and falling, Su Tianyu quickly searched the room for Gold Soul Coins.

He searched Wang Hu's bedroom and soon found the door to a secret chamber. He opened it and found a large number of Gold Soul Coins inside. He casually put the coins into his Storage Soul Tool, then hurried out and continued toward the next building.

He soon reached the entrance of the third building. As before, he used his First Soul Skill to cover the surrounding space, punched open the locked main doors, and strode inside.

Upon reaching the main hall, Su Tianyu quickly surveyed the interior. Numerous exquisite murals adorned the walls, and a red carpet covered the floor. Walking along the carpet, he looked farther in and saw a long corridor decorated with numerous potted plants and pieces of porcelain.

"It's more valuable than the previous two buildings, and more luxurious and grand."

After giving it a careful appraisal, he headed toward the building's master bedroom.

Just then, a head poked out from the end of the corridor. It was Wang Lei, who had come to investigate the thunderous noise outside. When Su Tianyu saw him, his eyes lit up.

He had not expected to run into Wang Lei, the most talented member of the Wang Family, here. He had just been marveling at how much more lavish and splendid this building was than the previous two. It turned out to be where Wang Lei usually slept and cultivated.

Looking at Wang Lei ahead of him, Su Tianyu could not help letting out a strange "Jie jie" laugh. A red light appeared in his eyes as his ghostlike figure pounced on Wang Lei. At the same time, two Soul Rings rose beneath his feet, and the Purple Soul Ring, which had remained unlit until now, cast a noble-looking purple glow.
