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

Chapter 406 A Soul Burdened with Sin

"bring it on."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's actions, Dai Mubai's eyes lit up. He was about to reach out and grab her hand when he saw her pull back slightly.

"Zhu Qing?"

Seeing Dai Mubai's astonished gaze, Zhu Zhuqing's tone was somewhat cold: "I hope you can understand that the reason I chose to help you is because I also want to save my companions, not to protect your ridiculous dignity, nor to hurt anyone. If I see you harming innocent people, I will not hesitate to terminate the fusion."

"What do you mean by that?"

Dai Mubai's expression turned cold, and he couldn't help but question, "They're just some worthless beings from the lower realms. Are you really going to stand by and watch Ma Hongjun die because of them?! Don't you want to avenge Rongrong?! You..."

"Because this is my bottom line."

Zhu Zhuqing coldly interrupted Dai Mubai's words, her eyes not wavering at his questioning, but instead meeting his gaze without backing down.

"Don't forget who you are, Dai Mubai. You were once a member of this country."

"Ten thousand years ago, we Seven Devils fought together against the Spirit Hall because the Spirit Hall was an invader, and we were protecting our country. But what are you doing now? As the former Emperor of Star Luo, you actually want to harm your own people ten thousand years later!?"

Do you know what kind of person you are right now? Do you know what you're doing?

"That's what I was thinking."

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his heart. Dai Mubai choked for a moment, instinctively wanting to open his mouth to refute, but he didn't know what to say.

After a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement.

"I promise you, I will try my best not to harm the innocent."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing said nothing more and extended her palm again.

"Then, let's go save our comrades."

In an instant, as their palms touched, a blinding white light erupted from their bodies and merged.

As the white ball of light slowly rose into the air, a terrifying aura that made everyone in Star Luo City tremble instantly enveloped their hearts.

As if sensing something, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the dazzling white light that, like the sun, floated above the palace.

Before they could react, a deep and authoritative voice boomed in everyone's ears.

"The trial of the sinner Huo Yuhao begins immediately. All other living beings must evacuate the palace grounds within ten breaths and are not allowed to approach even half a step, or they will bear the consequences."

"Huo Yuhao, as a being from the lower realm, you show no respect for the gods. Not only have you repeatedly spoken rudely and provocatively, but you have even harmed innocent deities. Your hands are already stained with the blood of injustice! Your soul is gravely sinful!"

As if victory was already assured, the supreme deity descended with an irrefutable judgment, declaring his inescapable fate.

"Today, we deliver our verdict, using your death to warn the world and serve as a warning to others!"

"Boss Dai"

For no apparent reason, Ma Hongjun's lips curled into a bitter smile after hearing the sound.

There was no need to look back; just by sensing the aura of the Netherworld White Tiger, he could already guess what had happened behind him.

Knowing that Dai Mubai had made up his mind, Ma Hongjun did not intend to try to dissuade him anymore. With a hearty laugh, the phoenix flames burning on his body rose with his fighting spirit and instantly reached their peak.

"To be able to fight alongside my brothers against a powerful enemy before I die, I have no regrets!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Huo Yuhao seemed amused by Dai Mubai's words, laughing wildly while his expression became increasingly mocking.

After a long while, the laughter subsided. He slowly raised his head, revealing his fair neck, and beckoned to the huge white tiger that emerged from the white light in the sky.

"Come here, my neck is right here, and my head is right here too."

Without a trace of gentleness or pity, but filled with undisguised arrogance and violence, Huo Yuhao's words echoed like thunder throughout Xingluo City, brutally ravaging everyone's eardrums.

"Let me see if you so-called gods really have the right to judge me!?"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao still acted arrogantly, the Netherworld White Tiger, led by Dai Mubai, flashed with ferocity in its eyes.

"Enough talk, Fatty, let's attack together and kill him!"

After saying that, he waved his two huge tiger claws, each the size of a small mountain, and appeared in front of Huo Yuhao as if crossing space, and without hesitation, he delivered a horizontal slap.

What seemed like an ordinary swing, empowered by the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, unleashed a terrifying power capable of easily tearing through the void. The shockwave alone pulverized several distant halls into dust.

Large spatial rifts spread along the claw's trajectory, collapsing madly. In the process, powerful suction forces erupted from the center of those rifts, pulling Huo Yuhao closer and closer to the tiger's claw.

This was only the result of Dai Mubai deliberately restraining himself, because he had promised Zhu Zhuqing not to harm innocent people, and he could only minimize the impact of this move by using this horizontal strike.

Otherwise, if that slap were to land on the ground from above, not only Star Luo City, but the entire Douluo Continent would collapse in an instant.

Despite the world-destroying power of this attack, Huo Yuhao remained calm. The twin swords in his hand once again emitted a blue light, and with a horizontal swing of his arm, the Frost Edge swords once more displayed their sharpness.

In an instant, invisible frost once again spread from the tiger's claw. However, unlike before when it clearly slowed down Dai Mubai's movements, this time the frost could only briefly hinder his movements when facing the Netherworld White Tiger, whose strength was comparable to that of a first-level god.

Seeing how poor the skill's effect was, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly and subconsciously tried to dodge the palm strike by traversing space.

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao disappear, the Netherworld White Tiger showed no surprise; instead, a mocking glint flashed in its eyes.

The latest novel is first published here!

"You've exhausted all your tricks, you're making a last-ditch effort. Do you really think you can defeat me with just these things now?!"

Having already suffered losses in this area, how could he not be wary of Huo Yuhao's ability to travel through space?

Just as Huo Yuhao reappeared from another location, the Netherworld White Tiger appeared beside him like a shadow and struck again without hesitation.

With Zhu Zhuqing's speed, even without Huo Yuhao's ability to traverse space, he could achieve a similar effect to teleportation. In fact, due to his rapidly increasing cultivation level, his movements were even faster than Huo Yuhao's.

A complete and utter crushing defeat!

However, to Dai Mubai's surprise, just as the tiger claw struck Huo Yuhao squarely, it strangely passed right through him.

Fake!?

The Netherworld White Tiger's eyes narrowed sharply, as if in disbelief.

Of course he knew that Huo Yuhao possessed an illusion-like ability, but wasn't that a skill of the Eye Martial Soul?

This guy now has an ice-attribute martial soul!?

"What, is that strange?"

Hearing the cold voice in his ear, he turned around abruptly and was shocked to find that Huo Yuhao was standing right there, without having moved an inch from beginning to end.

But what caught his attention most was not that, but the stunning woman beside Huo Yuhao, whose lower body had a golden fishtail and who possessed eight spirit rings of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

Is that a soul beast?

Why is she able to possess this guy's spirit ring?

However, just as Dai Mubai was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Huo Yuhao launched his fully charged attack.

The Wrath of the Ice Emperor, the Imperial Sword.

Emerald green beams of light and icy blue sword light erupted one after the other from Huo Yuhao's chest and the twin swords in his hand, carrying a dangerous aura that sent chills down Dai Mubai's spine.

He instinctively tried to dodge, but then noticed that the first spirit ring beneath the mermaid suddenly lit up.

Soul shock.

Since merging with the Heart of the Sea God, the mental skills released with the help of the Sea Princess have become even more powerful than Huo Yuhao's original body.

Although the soul impact, enhanced by the Heart of the Sea God, couldn't cause much damage to Dai Mubai due to the difference in their cultivation levels, it could still interrupt his actions.

Dai Mubai let out a painful roar, his entire body stiffening as if struck by lightning. Just as the Ice Emperor's Wrath and the Emperor's Sword were about to hit, Ma Hongjun made his move.

Crimson flames descended from the sky, transforming into a barrier that incinerated everything, completely neutralizing Dai Mubai's attacks.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown, but then, a sudden chill prompted him to activate the right foot soul bone skill and release the ice and fire dragon wings on his back, enveloping himself and the sea princess.

The next instant, the blazing phoenix flames descended once more, but this time, they landed right where he was.

High in the sky, Ma Hongjun smelled the acrid odor permeating the air and coldly looked down at the large, melting, icy blue cocoon in the flames.

"If that's all there is to it, then you might as well die."
