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

Chapter 403 You Should Kneel Too (Part 2)

"We've found you."

Hearing the excitement in that tone, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing trembled for no reason.

They didn't know why, but even though the other person was smiling in their direction, they felt a chill run down their spines.

It's as if you can sense the ferocious and cruel malice hidden behind that disguise.

Dai Hao's reaction, however, was even stronger than theirs.

The moment Huo Yuhao appeared, he froze, and his body, which had just recovered most of its strength, began to tremble reflexively.

Although his hair had turned white and his facial features had changed considerably since their last meeting, he still recognized immediately those azure eyes that had haunted his nightmares countless nights, like a nightmare shrouding his heart.

One second he was extremely excited, the next he plummeted to the bottom like a roller coaster. Dai Hao screamed, his already dirty face contorted into a hideous expression.

"Huo Yuhao!? What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing the sound, Huo Yuhao belatedly turned his gaze to Dai Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, as if he had just realized that Dai Hao was also present, looking quite surprised.

"Huh? You actually got out of jail? Who let you out?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the fence behind Dai Hao, which had been torn to pieces by Dai Mubai, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Prisoners should act like prisoners. If they just run away casually, people will misunderstand and think they are trying to escape from prison, which would be bad."

Looking at Dai Hao again, his smile remained unchanged, and even his tone was very gentle.

"Go back now and I'll pretend nothing happened."

So gently, yet uttering a chilling threat.

Dai Hao's body trembled, his limbs were cold and numb, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Not to mention that the five years of imprisonment had already instilled in him an extreme fear of Huo Yuhao. Back in his prime, this kid had personally shattered his dantian. Now, five years later, the other party must have made great progress in strength.

On the other hand, although he had just recovered his dantian, he still had a long way to go before his cultivation was fully restored. In addition, his body was weak, and he was not much stronger than an ordinary person. If this kid were to hit him again, he would probably lose his life here.

A strong sense of fear made Dai Hao instinctively want to do as he was told, but when he caught a glimpse of Dai Mubai beside him, he suddenly felt reassured and paused.

Yes, my ancestors are right here, what am I afraid of?

He didn't know what Dai Mubai wanted to do, but since the other party had released him from prison and gone to great lengths to repair his damaged dantian, he probably wouldn't allow Huo Yuhao to bully him at will.

In an instant, an invisible force surged from his heart, dispelling most of the emotion called fear, and even the look in his eyes as he looked at Huo Yuhao changed from terror to anger.

"Huo Yuhao! Even now you still want to make a move? Do you even know who's beside me?!"

Relying on his powerful backer, Dai Hao's expression became increasingly ferocious and resentful, as if he wanted to vent all the suffering he had endured from Huo Yuhao. His voice even had a hint of hysteria.

"How can someone so young have such a vicious mind? No matter what, I am your father. You crippled my cultivation, sent me to prison, and even want to do it again. Don't you feel any remorse?!"

"."

As if stunned by those words, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly. Just then, Xu Jiawei, who was standing to the side, finally came back to his senses from the shock and quickly explained the current situation to Huo Yuhao through telepathy.

"The two people beside Dai Hao are Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who ascended to the God Realm with Tang San ten thousand years ago. Their sudden visit to the palace today seems to be to release Dai Hao. If you're not confident, it's best not to clash with them at this time."

Strangely enough, perhaps because he had witnessed too many unimaginable things through this young man, even though he didn't have much confidence that Huo Yuhao had the strength to contend with Dai Mubai, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw the other party appear.

It was as if they had suddenly found a powerful backer.

Soon, Huo Yuhao's response echoed in his mind.

"I know, I came here for the two of them."

Immediately afterward, under Xu Jiawei's astonished gaze, Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Mubai again, smiled, and spoke politely.

"I'm sorry, as you both can see, we've encountered a bit of an unexpected situation."

As he spoke, his eyes were suddenly covered with rings of dark blue light, and eight soul rings appeared beneath his feet.

"So before we get down to business, please allow me to take care of some personal matters."

Platinum, Platinum, Rose Gold, Orange, Orange, Orange, Rose Gold.

Although the first seven spirit rings were all unique in color, Xu Jiawei had already seen them during his last visit to the Spirit Pagoda.

This time, however, his gaze fell first on the eighth spirit ring, which had a gold base and seemed to have silver patterns carved on its surface.

Unlike Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, which turned pale gold due to his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, the Evil Emperor's appearance was a huge black eyeball, but their spiritual power was the purest brilliant silver. The divine rings they provided also looked much more magnificent than the others, giving people a feeling that made it hard to look away.

Not only Xu Jiawei, but the remaining three, including Dai Hao, were also shocked by this scene and stared wide-eyed. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, in particular, were even more aware of what a golden spirit ring was. So when they saw that five of Huo Yuhao's eight spirit rings were golden spirit rings with unique markings, their hearts were filled with shock.

What the hell is this thing?!

Just as they were stunned into silence, Huo Yuhao made his move.

As the second spirit ring lit up.

Invisible life threads shot out from his hand and silently wrapped around Dai Hao's body.

The next second, a tremendous force struck.

Dai Hao felt a sudden dizziness, and when he came to his senses, Huo Yuhao's face was already very close to his.

"Since you're unwilling to do it yourself, I'll have to help you out a bit more."

The tone was still gentle, but Dai Hao felt as if his head was about to explode, and his scalp tingled.

Before he could even speak, Huo Yuhao lightly punched him in the stomach.

With a crisp crack, the dantian that Dai Mubai had just repaired and hadn't even had time to warm up shattered once again.

In less than a minute, Dai Hao experienced another dramatic rise and fall in his life. He lost his dantian again and the possibility of becoming a soul master again.

It's as if everything that just happened was nothing but a dream.

And now, the excruciating pain in his abdomen was telling him...

—It's time to wake up from the dream.

"ah--!!!"

A piercing scream echoed from the dark dungeon, causing the two guards at the end of the corridor to shiver and straighten their posture.

However, Huo Yuhao acted as if he hadn't heard anything, leisurely examining Dai Hao's miserable state.

The veins on his neck bulged, his body convulsed violently, and his eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets from the pain. Only when he saw the other person's appearance did Huo Yuhao nod in satisfaction.

"That's right, that's more like how a prisoner should act, but making a huge fuss isn't really good."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually flung Dai Hao back into the cell, where he slammed heavily against the wall.

boom!

Under that exquisite control of power, Dai Hao's bones crackled and popped. In an instant, his body, which had just recovered most of its strength with Dai Mubai's help, returned to its previous state of severe injury, without any serious damage.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao's right leg bone lit up, and a bone-chilling coldness surged from the sole of his shoe into the earth.

Octagonal omnidirectional spikes.

One after another, ice spikes, seemingly made of millennia-old solid ice, rose from the ground, replacing the fences that Dai Mubai had torn apart, and imprisoning Dai Hao, who had already fainted from the pain, once again.

After doing all that, he clapped his hands, turned his head to meet Dai Mubai's gaze, and a harmless smile appeared on his lips.

"Alright, the personal matter is settled, now we can continue... Oh no, there's still one more thing that seems to need to be taken care of."

Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject.

"Judging from Dai Hao's condition, he doesn't seem capable of breaking out of the cell on his own. It seems a kind person must have offered him help, right?"

His gaze swept back and forth between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing as he spoke in a joking tone.

"You dared to release people without my permission? I wonder which of you two is so kind? Please step forward."

"."

I haven't received your permission yet!?

Do I need your permission to do what I want?!

As if his authority had been challenged, Dai Mubai subconsciously clenched his fists.

Perhaps out of shock and anger that the other party dared to commit violence in front of him, or perhaps out of dissatisfaction with the contemptuous attitude, he exuded a violent aura and stared intently at Huo Yuhao.

For a fleeting moment, he genuinely wanted to take action.

But it must be said that what Huo Yuhao just showed did make him wary.

Putting aside the sheer number of divine rings that even he didn't possess, he couldn't quite fathom the method by which Dai Hao had been captured and brought to his side.

From his perspective, Huo Yuhao simply raised his hand at Dai Hao without even releasing any pressure to control or guide him, yet things still happened in such a bizarre way.

Even he couldn't pull off such a bizarre method.

Is this really the power that a being from the lower realm could possess?

Back when he was Huo Yuhao's age, he seemed to be quite proud of his Soul Emperor cultivation, right?

Of course, even though he was somewhat wary, Dai Mubai did not act too out of line.

Even though Huo Yuhao's abilities were quite strange, his cultivation as a second-level god gave him enough confidence.

It's no exaggeration to say that unless he encounters the murderer who killed Ning Rongrong, his cultivation level would allow him to roam freely in the lower realms.

Even if they were to encounter the culprit, with his and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger, they might not necessarily lose to the opponent.

"You're Huo Yuhao?"

Suppressing his murderous intent, he looked at Huo Yuhao defiantly, his gaze unwavering: "I released him, what do you want?"

"What do you want?"

As if stumped by the question, Huo Yuhao actually began to seriously consider it.

"They released my prisoner without my permission, wasting so much of my energy and time. Oh, and it seems they even bullied my friend and brother in the process..."

He meticulously listed Dai Mubai's crimes one by one, as if counting on his fingers.

Only when his face turned completely black did Huo Yuhao raise his head, meet his eyes, and smile as he made a suggestion.

"Why don't you kneel down and apologize like Dai Hao did?"

「!?」

It was as if a bomb had been dropped into his brain; Dai Mubai felt his head buzz and go completely blank.

The latest novel is first published here!

Not only him, but even Xu Jiawei and Zhu Zhuqing were stunned for a moment.

Damn, I've seen people with guts, but I've never seen anyone this bold.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't replied earlier, Xu Jiawei would have almost thought that the kid hadn't received his telepathic notification.

But as he recalled Huo Yuhao's arrogant attitude towards Dai Hao, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Could it be that this guy is really confident he can deal with two gods?!

Unfortunately, Dai Mubai clearly didn't understand Huo Yuhao as well as Xu Jiawei. Driven by anger that almost completely dominated his mind, he didn't think about the underlying logic like Xu Jiawei did.

"You want me to kneel down and apologize?"

Seemingly amused by Huo Yuhao's reckless words, he glared at the white figure before him with a ferocious expression and roared.

"Do you know what you're saying?!"

However, Huo Yuhao seemed oblivious to the overwhelming pressure and tilted his head in confusion.

"What? Didn't you understand? Do you want me to repeat it?"

Before Dai Mubai could react, Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly turned icy, accompanied by undisguised violent words, and a vast pressure descended from the sky, enveloping him.

"I'll make you kneel down!"

The sudden, terrifying pressure caused Dai Mubai's pupils to shrink sharply. He seemed to have never expected Huo Yuhao to make the first move. Caught off guard, his back bent, and he was actually forced to kneel down.

Snapped--

And so, Dai Mubai's knees made intimate contact with the stone slabs on the ground. Even through his pants, he could clearly feel the soft touch of the moss growing in the crevices.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Huo Yuhao looked down at Dai Mubai with an icy expression and a cold tone.

"Now, apologize."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai seemed to finally come to his senses and belatedly realized his current state.

Crimson blood vessels quickly covered his eyes, and even his burly body trembled slightly from the rage within him.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed, and she subconsciously spoke up to remind him.

"Mu Bai..."

However, Dai Mubai was no longer listening to her at this moment. Almost the instant Zhu Zhuqing spoke, he abandoned the suppression of his cultivation without hesitation and frantically urged the divine power within his body.

As five halos of light appeared behind him, a terrifying aura burst forth from his body, not only crushing the oppressive force enveloping him in the blink of an eye, but also swirling back to cover Huo Yuhao.

The next second, he sprang up from the ground and pounced straight at Huo Yuhao.

"I want you dead!!!"

However, what responded to him was Huo Yuhao's indifferent gaze, which remained completely unmoved, and the dazzling golden light that flashed continuously in his eyes.

Third Soul Skill: Soul Deprivation.

First Soul Skill: Soul Impact.

Unlike those soul rings that require the soul to become a priest to improve their quality, the third soul ring bestowed by Qiu'er already possessed extremely strong growth potential. So much so that long before Huo Yuhao's body could withstand the pressure of a million-year soul ring, it had already grown into a divine ring exactly like the one in his previous life under the nourishment of the power of faith.

No longer limited to dismantling the opponent's mental defenses, it has now been upgraded to a divine skill called Soul Deprivation, which can even dismantle the divine soul defenses of gods!

boom--!

It was as if an invisible axe had cleaved his skull. The unbearable pain struck Dai Mubai like a thunderbolt, and his already ferocious face twisted even more as he groaned.

However, even though he lost control of his body, the powerful inertia still brought him to Huo Yuhao's side.

It was like handing over food, offering one's defenseless neck to the opponent's hands.

Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't let this good opportunity pass him by. He grabbed the other person by the neck, and his third spirit ring lit up again.

Tragedy of fate.

After dismantling Dai Mubai's physical body and divine power defenses, he lifted him up without hesitation and slammed him heavily to the ground.

boom--

The earth roared.

What would normally be a harmless blow to a god now sent shivers down Dai Mubai's spine, nearly causing him to cough up blood.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She had thought that Dai Mubai had released the suppression of his cultivation, and the battle would be one-sided. She was even hesitant about whether to intervene.

The outcome was unexpectedly one-sided.

It should be noted that even if Dai Mubai is not as powerful as Ma Hongjun, he is still a high-ranking existence among the second-level gods in the God Realm. How could he be so easily defeated?

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her pupils contracted slightly.

"You're the murderer who killed Rongrong!"

A lower-level being with strength comparable to a first-level god—doesn't this perfectly match the characteristics of the target they are looking for?

She didn't think that such an unprecedented existence could appear in the Douluo Continent again. Apart from Huo Yuhao being the murderer, there was no other possibility!

"You guessed it so quickly?"

Huo Yuhao paused, then grinned and said, "Speaking of which, I quite admire you guys. You clearly guessed my strength before you came, yet you still dared to split up. Should I say you're incredibly skilled and daring, or just reckless?"

Did this guy know we were splitting up?

Did he encounter other people before he met us?

Without time to think, seeing that Dai Mubai might perish if she didn't act soon, Zhu Zhuqing also disregarded the need to suppress her cultivation any longer, and five black halos appeared behind her as well.

With a light touch of her toes on the ground, her speed instantly soared to its limit, and she appeared beside Huo Yuhao as if she had teleported.

Immediately afterwards, the claws, capable of easily tearing through the void, launched thousands of attacks in an instant, like an impenetrable net covering Huo Yuhao.

Just when she thought the other party would put down Dai Mubai and put up a fight, and she was ready to save him at any time, Huo Yuhao did not put up any resistance and let her attack pass through his body.

Contrary to expectations, there was no blood splattering. Like a fleeting afterimage, Huo Yuhao was torn to pieces by those sharp claws and vanished without a trace.

be cheated!

Zhu Zhuqing was startled and instinctively tried to escape, but it was already too late.

Huo Yuhao's figure reappeared, but he had already changed his position. There was also a black coal ball, about the size of a washbasin and covered in hair, floating in mid-air next to him.

No, that's not a lump of coal, it's an eye?

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's astonished expression, Huo Yuhao's lips moved, and he uttered two simple words.

"emission."

The next instant, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if the space around her had frozen, and she was unable to move. At the same time, her vision was suddenly covered by a dark blue light.

Light of Time and Space.

"Hahahaha!!! That's awesome!!!"

The Evil Emperor laughed loudly, feeling extremely happy.

This was the first time he had unleashed the Light of Time and Space at full power. The reason he had to consume his life force before was because his body could not withstand the enormous burden of releasing this move.

However, since his promotion to priest, this side effect has disappeared. In addition, what he is currently mobilizing is Huo Yuhao's terrifying spiritual power, which has been fused with several soul spirits. Its power can only be described as exaggerated.

The dark blue beam of light struck Zhu Zhuqing, piercing a huge hole in the ceiling behind her, and continued its momentum toward the sky.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, the moment she was struck by the light of time and space, she screamed and was uncontrollably sent flying backward through the hole.

Upon hearing the sound, Dai Mubai was instantly jolted awake from his pain, staring at the scene with bloodshot eyes.

"Zhu Qing!!!"

"Don't worry, you won't die from this."

Huo Yuhao gently comforted them, "After all, I still have a few questions I want to ask you."
