Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 136 Hush Money

Just as he held the axe face to his chest, preparing to unleash other soul skills, Huo Yuhao's soul impact landed on him.

With the terrifying effect of soul stripping rendering all mental defenses ineffective, anyone facing Huo Yuhao's mental attack has no choice but to tough it out.

It felt like countless needles were piercing his brain. The intense pain caused the Soul Saint to scream involuntarily, and the release of his Soul Skill was interrupted.

The next second, his eyes reflected the boy's appearance after activating the Ice Emperor Martial Soul.

Silver-white vertical pupils, white and blue scales spreading across his arms, a silver-white carving knife that appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand at some unknown time, and orange-gold and blood-red soul rings that refreshed his understanding.

Soul Saint felt like he was about to explode with anger. Having read the information before coming, he naturally knew that Huo Yuhao possessed a second ice-attribute martial soul.

But the information says that the second spirit doesn't have any spirit rings attached!?

What's going on with this 100,000-year-old spirit ring?!

What's with this orange-gold spirit ring?!

At this moment, the Soul Saint wished he could curse Dai Yueheng's ancestors for eighteen generations.

None of this information matches at all!

Is the thing you're asking us to kill even human?!

Having lived for so many years, he had never seen such a bizarre Soul Master!

Just as the Soul Saint was cursing inwardly, a beautiful icy blue light started from the carving knife in Huo Yuhao's hand and quickly extended upward until it transformed into an ice sword with the carving knife as the handle and ice element as the main body.

At the same time, a deep dark blue light shone from Huo Yuhao's body, causing his soul power fluctuations, which were originally at the Soul Venerable level, to instantly reach a level close to the Soul Emperor level.

Facing the Soul Saint before him, Huo Yuhao held nothing back. He first neutralized the opponent's soul power defense with the Fate's Sorrow, and then, with the dual enhancement of the Silver Dragon Spear's all-elemental amplification and the explosive release of Pride Origin, the ice sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling light.

The Emperor's Sword.

--cut!

Let alone the freshman assessment, even when facing Qiu'er, he did not unleash the Emperor Sword with such full force. If he hadn't been pressed for time, he could have even eaten a snow lotus petal to make the move even stronger.

collapse!

With an indescribable sharpness, the ice sword struck the axe, sparks flying.

Surprisingly, it was Huo Yuhao's ice sword that was the first to succumb to the power of this attack.

With a muffled sound, the ice sword shattered. However, before the Soul Saint could even show a look of joy, a dark crack quietly appeared on the axe surface where the ice sword had just struck, and quickly spread.

Finally, as if it had reached its limit, to everyone's disbelief, the massive axe head shattered with a sharp, mournful cry.

puff--

The destruction of his martial spirit caused the Soul Saint to cough up blood, and his aura rapidly and uncontrollably weakened.

However, this was not the end. The icy white frost spread rapidly along the crack in the axe. Under the influence of the Fate's Wound, no matter how much the Soul Saint activated his soul power, he could not stop the extreme cold in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, the Soul Saint was completely covered in frost.

It was as if time had been frozen at this moment. Looking at the terror and despair on the Soul Saint's face, a chill ran through everyone's hearts.

died?

He died like that?

The Soul Saint cultivation level, which countless Soul Masters could never reach in their entire lives, was killed by a Soul Venerable in a near-crushing manner right before their eyes.

"He's clearly exhausted. Don't panic, kill him!"

Suddenly someone shouted this, which startled everyone and successfully brought them back to their senses.

Being sent on an interception mission, they were certainly not cowards. Although the current scene made them timid, it also brought out the ferocity that had been accumulating for a long time.

Especially after hearing those words, and noticing Huo Yuhao's face had become even paler due to excessive consumption of soul power, a fierce glint flashed in everyone's eyes.

Yes, although this boy's combat power is indeed terrifying, how could a Soul Saint be killed so easily?

The more powerful the skill, the more soul power it consumes. Judging from the opponent's continuous use of several skills, their soul power has probably been completely exhausted.

If the mission fails, even if we escape back, we'll face a slim chance of survival. It's better to fight back with all our might!

Thinking of this, one of the Soul Emperors took the lead in activating his only ten-thousand-year Soul Skill.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the flaming broadsword in the other person's hand, which seemed somewhat familiar to him.

So this person was an old acquaintance who led the team that hunted him down in his previous life?

Faced with this terrifying attack, a semi-transparent barrier shimmering with a white light suddenly appeared around Huo Yuhao.

click -

Fine cracks spread from the surface of the barrier. Since he didn't use the Pride Source in his daily fights, Huo Yuhao equipped himself with soul tools that could be used at level 37.

Faced with the full force of a Soul Emperor, this Soul Guidance Shield, with a defensive strength of only around level five, was clearly struggling to withstand the strain.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao did not expect to be able to completely withstand the opponent's attack. Taking advantage of this brief moment, his orange-gold spirit ring suddenly lit up.

Hyotei's Claw.

Before the Soul Emperor could react, those hands covered in dragon scales grabbed his wrists like iron clamps and twisted them violently!

With a crisp cracking sound, the excruciating pain, amplified by his senses, flooded into the Soul Emperor's brain like a torrent.

"ah!!!"

The piercing screams seemed to shatter the eardrums of those around them. Hearing these agonizing roars that evoked a sense of shared suffering, the teammates' faces were filled with a mixture of fear and confusion.

It's unbelievable. It's just a broken bone, so why is this guy screaming more pitifully than a pig being slaughtered?

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao touched the neck of the Soul Emperor with a carving knife the next second, so they would never have to torture their ears again.

Unfortunately, they still couldn't figure out why this guy was screaming so pitifully.

Seeing yet another teammate lose their life, everyone's fighting spirit finally vanished at that moment.

Even without using the skills he had just used against the Soul Saint, this young man could still easily kill them.

What's the point of even fighting?!

"escape!"

No longer caring about anything else, the group, already terrified, retreated rapidly and fled in a frenzy.

"It's probably too late to escape now."

As Huo Yuhao's indifferent voice rang out, a bright green light suddenly shone from his chest, and in an instant, a bone-chilling cold swept out from him.

The Land of Eternal Freeze.

Even their blood seemed to be frozen by the extreme cold; let alone escape, they were so stiff they couldn't even take a step.

Just like the soul skills bestowed upon him by Tianmeng, the four soul skills bestowed upon him by Bingdi also have strong growth potential.

However, the difference is that Tianmeng's method involves increasing the age of his spirit rings based on his physical attributes, thereby enhancing the power of his spirit skills.

The two soul bone skills of the Ice Emperor's torso bone were in a fully unleashed state from the beginning, but the power exerted varied depending on his cultivation level.

If he were to use his level 37 cultivation to cast the Eternal Freeze Domain, the effect would likely be the same as in his previous life, only able to control them briefly for a few seconds before they would recover.

However, Huo Yuhao has now forcibly raised his cultivation to the level of a top-tier Soul King by unleashing the power of his Arrogance Source. The effects of the Eternal Frozen Domain are something that these Soul Masters of the same level cannot resist.

"I was just following orders."

The sudden sound attracted Huo Yuhao's attention. Whether he was frightened by the overwhelming force of the voice when Huo Yuhao killed the Soul Saint, or foresaw his own fate, one of the Soul Kings looked at him with pleading eyes and trembling lips.

"Please, please let me go."

"If I heard correctly, that line about killing me while I was exhausted must have been what you said earlier."

Staring indifferently at the middle-aged man trembling like a leaf in front of him, Huo Yuhao spoke slowly and deliberately.

"You have no intention of letting me go."

"Me, me"

Ignoring the other party, Huo Yuhao's blood-red soul ring lit up, and an ice-blue snow lotus condensed in his hand.

After casually tearing off two petals from it, the crimson soul ring lit up again.

As the snow lotus changed color from blue to white like a chameleon, and the energy it contained rapidly changed from gentle to violent, everyone present's pupils suddenly contracted.

"goodbye."

Cold and brief words came from Huo Yuhao's mouth. As he released his hand, the pale, seemingly lifeless snow lotus slowly unfolded and bloomed in mid-air.

Finally, countless sharp petals shot out in all directions, mercilessly piercing through everything around them until they were completely silenced.

After doing all this, Huo Yuhao finally couldn't help but sway.

The entire battle seemed like a casual, crushing victory, but in reality, it was entirely due to his seizing the initiative and revealing all his trump cards.

If the opponent is prepared, he would probably have to use the Eye of Destiny to have a good chance of facing a seven-person team with a Soul Saint in a head-on confrontation.

Putting a snow lotus petal into his mouth, Huo Yuhao exhaled a breath of stale air as his mind gradually cleared.

He put away his martial spirit, turned around, and walked towards Wang Dong'er, who was clearly still in shock from the battle, while raising his hand that was holding the flower petals.

"ah--"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's instructions, Wang Dong'er, still confused, instinctively opened her mouth.

A faint fragrance accompanied by a cool sensation entered her mouth, instantly sending a shiver through her body.

When she came to her senses, Huo Yuhao was already several steps ahead of her, leisurely walking towards the academy.

After a moment of stunned silence, Wang Dong'er quickly arrived at Huo Yuhao's side.

"What did you give me to eat?"

Hush money.

"No way! You think you can keep this from anyone? I want more!"
