Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 421 Killing Horses and Wasting Su

Yuwen Qiu's question left the two speechless.

Speechless, Ma Sino became even more enraged. "Yuwen Tuo, I admit I wronged you, but so what? This world is a dog-eat-dog world. Blame it on your lack of backing back then. What, you've become stronger and want to take revenge on me? Not so easy!"

After saying that, Ma Sino held a staff in his hand, and his body was surrounded by eight soul rings, two yellow, two purple and four black.

This appears to be a lightning-attribute lightning staff, a rather high-level martial spirit. No wonder Ma Sino was able to graduate from the inner academy and has the potential to be granted a title.

Unfortunately, this guy sits on the throne of the Heavenly Soul Empire's city lord, but his head is tilted towards Shrek Academy.

Even if he becomes a Title Douluo in the future, he will be a Title Douluo of Shrek Academy, not one of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Therefore, as the future Grand Tutor of the Heavenly Soul, he had no need to show mercy to this guy.

"Alright, since it's a dog-eat-dog world, I'll kill you now, you don't have any objections, right?" Yuwentuo's whole body was surrounded by flames, and he was equipped with eight top-grade soul rings, four black and four red, instantly suppressing Ma Sino's ordinary eight rings.

"An eight-ring Soul Douluo!" Ma Sino and Su Yunlang were both shocked. After all, Yuwen Tuo's martial soul had awakened here, but how long had it been?

This kid is at most eighteen years old now, and he's already reached the eighth ring, even after he was crippled for six years.

Level 20 innate realm, that's terrifying! And that soul ring configuration, no wonder so many titled Douluo have fallen at his hands.

Faced with Yuwen Tuo's oppressive soul power, Su Yunlang didn't even have the courage to resist.

Ma Sino, however, would not sit idly by and wait for his death. He struck the ground with his Thunder Staff, and his eighth soul ring floated up. In an instant, the sky outside the city lord's mansion became covered with dark clouds.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Thunderous Descent!"

boom!
A surging bolt of lightning gathered in the sky and fell, transforming into an indestructible lightning prison. It instantly shattered the roof of the city lord's mansion, tumbling downwards and trapping Yuwen Tuo, Xiao Xiao, and Yuwen Qiu.

Then Masno immediately rushed out of the window and flew towards Shrek Academy, not even bothering to care about Su Yunlang.

He was still quite self-aware, knowing that he was no match for Yuwen Tuo. This eighth soul skill was only meant to trap the three of them temporarily, giving him time to escape.

This commotion immediately attracted the attention of all the people in the city. Seeing the city lord fleeing for his life in a frantic manner, they were filled with doubt. Who was it that could frighten the powerful city lord like this?

"Foolish fellow, do you think you can escape like this?" Yuwen Tuo raised his left arm, and the Flame Emperor Blade gathered firelight. He didn't even chase after them, but instead slashed down with his blade right there in the room.

He immediately split the entire city lord's mansion in two.

The blade of light chased after the fleeing Ma Sino at an extremely fast speed. Ma Sino sensed danger and subconsciously looked back, only to see that the earth-shattering blade of light was less than a foot away from him.

"Yuwen Tuo, stop! If you kill me, Shrek Academy will not let you get away with it!"

Ma Sino tried to make another threat, but unfortunately, he was cut to dust by Yuwen Tuo's blade before he could finish his sentence.

A single strike could kill them both; even though they were both Soul Masters, their strengths were worlds apart.

Yuwen Tuo laughed, "Hehe, Shrek, even if they don't come looking for me, I'll go looking for them." "Hey, Tuo Tuo, why did you turn him to ashes? You didn't leave a single head this time?" Xiao Xiao asked in confusion. The head-collecting maniac Yuwen Tuo wasn't collecting heads anymore; this wasn't his preferred way of killing.

"He's just a mere Contra Douluo, I have no interest in keeping his head," Yuwen Tuo said calmly.

Even a head-collecting maniac has his limits; he has absolutely no interest in heads below the rank of Title Douluo.

After saying that, he walked towards Su Yunlang, who was still alive.

Su Yunlang knelt amidst the ruins, his eyes vacant. Yuwen Tuo's casual strike had such earth-shattering power, instantly killing Ma Sino. He had no courage left to resist.

Upon seeing Yuwen Tuo approach him, Su Yunlang kowtowed heavily. "My lord, Su Yunlang knows that his sins are grave. I do not ask for your life, but only that you grant me a complete corpse. Su Yunlang is willing to commit suicide before you to atone for his sins."

Compared to dying a gruesome death, suicide at least offers some dignity; after all, he was a Soul King.

“I didn’t intend to kill you,” Yuwen Tuo said.

Su Yunlang asked in confusion, "What? You're not going to kill me?"

“Yes, given your position at the time, finding the genius and reporting to the city lord was your duty. At least you didn't turn your back on the right side. If Masno had taken me to the country instead of Shrek Academy, I wouldn't hate him so much,” Yuwen Tuo said. “So I can spare your life, but I also made it clear at the time that I didn't want to see the city lord. You disregarded my wishes. Even if you weren't the root cause or the direct cause of my harm, you were still the fuse. So you may be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment!”

After saying that, Yuwentuo stretched out his palm and pressed down on Su Yunlang's shoulder, forcibly drawing out Su Yunlang's Lone Wolf Martial Soul and five Soul Rings with his vast soul power.

"Ah—" Su Yunlang let out a series of miserable screams. Yuwen Tuo's soul power seemed to be destroying his dantian.

However, under the impact of Yuwen Tuo's soul power, cracks appeared one after another on Su Yunlang's last four soul rings.

It eventually shattered, leaving behind only a ten-year white ring.

Yuwen Tuo then released his grip, and Su Yunlang collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

“I just destroyed ninety percent of your soul power and sealed your dantian. Now you are like a one-ring soul master who has just reached level ten, and you will never be able to make any further progress in your life,” Yuwen Tuo said. “Level ten soul power, combined with awakening stones, is enough for you to continue your work of awakening the children. Just be honest and continue to awaken martial souls for the Heavenly Soul Empire. But remember, don’t make the same mistake again. A child’s freedom should be decided by himself. You have no right to make decisions for others.”

"Yes, thank you for sparing my life, sir!" Su Yunlang got up and knelt down again to express his gratitude.

Although he was mostly crippled, he at least survived and even retained one of his spirit rings.

In this world, the vast majority of people do not have soul power. A level 10 soul master with soul rings is more noble than a commoner, and even has a proper awakening job.

As long as he doesn't offend anyone in the future and just lives a peaceful life with enough to eat and wear, there shouldn't be any problems.

Yuwen Tuo left the city lord's mansion with the two women. He did not hide his identity, allowing the people to remember him as the one who attacked the city lord.

After that, the three of them took to the air again.

The feud between Ma Sino and Su Yunlang, which had been the catalyst for the conflict, was over. Now it was time for the real culprit to take the fall.

Shrek Academy!
