Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 782 Crushed to Ashes! (6K)

"Killing you would be pointless. If one day you come looking for revenge to have your bones crushed and your ashes scattered, I'll be ready to fight you anytime."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yueheng felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

A knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law.

In this era, there is no law enforcement agency capable of judging Soul Masters.

The law is written for ordinary people.

Back when the Spirit Hall still existed, there was also the Judgment Army to maintain order on the continent and judge the crimes of spirit masters.

Even Zhao Wuji, the Soul Saint known as the Immovable King, was so killed by the Spirit Hall that he only dared to live in seclusion in Shrek Academy, which was not famous at the time, and dared not go out to stir up trouble in the world of Soul Masters.

He hid for more than a decade, until the Spirit Hall almost forgot about Zhao Wuji and even replaced the leadership team with Bibi Dong's team, before he dared to travel outside with his students.

But nowadays, apart from the capitals of the four great empires, Soul Masters are synonymous with being able to break the law at will.

Even in the capitals of the four great empires, there are numerous instances of Soul Masters killing people on a whim.

The Shrek Supervisory Group was originally established to take over the work of the Spirit Hall's Judgment Army and maintain peace on the continent.

However, it seems that this is really a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, this somewhat primitive law enforcement agency, lacking clear legal provisions and relying on violence, has not gained the approval of the majority of people.

What Huo Yuhao is doing now can't even be considered revenge; he simply intends to grind the Duchess to dust. Even if the Duchess were alive now, if Huo Yuhao were to chop off her head with a single stroke, no one in the world would have the right to say a bad word about him.

It can be said that most of the suffering Huo Yuhao has endured in his short life of less than twenty years was due to the other party.

The fact that Huo Yuhao didn't use a single level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon to kill Dai Hao's entire family was already a concession made by Huo Yuhao considering the continent's overall situation and the balance of power among all parties. Even the emperors of the major empires had to admit that Huo Yuhao truly had the compassionate heart of a bodhisattva.

Dai Yueheng looked at the deathly pale-faced Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, then at Huo Yuhao's strode into the mansion, and sighed bitterly.

Yes, Huo Yuhao was simply seeking revenge for his grudges. The fact that he didn't kill Dai Hao or commit the act of wiping out the entire family is already an act of immense mercy and a huge concession.

If her identity were switched with Huo Yuhao's, Dai Yueheng knew very well that her first choice would probably be to drag the entire academy into the mess and wipe out the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Stepping into the White Tiger Duke's mansion once again, Huo Yuhao truly understood what it meant for things to have changed beyond recognition.

The Duke's mansion was still the same Duke's mansion, but he himself was no longer the same person he once was.

As Huo Yuhao walked on the stone-paved road of the Duke's mansion, the White Tiger Dagger in his hand spun rapidly, flying out and then returning from time to time. Although the blade was still gleaming with frost, the bloodstains on the guard did not lie.

Those who have wronged him will be punished, and those who have wronged him will be punished. These villains share in the suffering he and his mother endured. The mastermind, Huo Yuhao, will not let them go, nor will he show any mercy to these accomplices.

Every one of these people wanted nothing more than to kill him and his mother and claim the reward from the Duchess. They only held back because they were worried about being used as scapegoats and kicked out by the Duchess after the truth came out. Huo Yuhao would never forget the murderous intent in these people, even ten years later.

The White Tiger Dagger in Huo Yuhao's hand flew out again. At this moment, the White Tiger Dagger in Huo Yuhao's hand had become the scythe of death in the eyes of the entire White Tiger Duke's mansion. In a large dormitory where the servants lived, a man dressed in short clothes with a buzz cut was trembling like a leaf.

The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are; similarly, the person who bullied you knows better than you how pitiful you are.

Watching the throwing knife fly back and forth, each time it would precisely take a life.

Dai Shiliu only needed to look at who the fallen servants were to understand who was taking lives.

"Whoosh—"

Before Dai Shiliu could do anything else, the White Tiger Dagger flew out again, spun around Dai Shiliu's neck, and his head fell to the ground.

In a flash, Huo Yuhao disappeared from the White Tiger Duke's mansion and appeared in a secluded spot behind the mansion, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, where a tombstone stood.

Huo Yuhao glanced at it, then waved his hand, shattering the tombstone in front of him. With another wave, large swaths of soil surged up, actually pushing the Duchess's coffin out of the ground.

As he sensed the fluctuations of soul power emanating from the back mountain, Dai Hao's face turned pale.

My heart is filled with bitterness and regret.

Such a once-in-a-millennium genius was originally one of my own bloodlines.

If I had gone home even once during these years, we wouldn't be at odds like this now.

No matter how much Dai Hao regretted it, it was all in vain.

Things have already escalated to this point, and even if he regrets it to the point of despair, he can't undo it.

Huo Yuhao violently broke open the Duchess's coffin, only to find the magnificent jewels buried with her and a decaying, unrecognizable corpse.

The soul that should have remained on the body has vanished.

Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes, looking at the Duchess's coffin, his mind racing.

If it were an ordinary person, after being dead for half a year, their remnant soul would have already left their body and entered the Sea of ​​Souls to be reincarnated.

However, a Soul Master is ultimately defined by the word "Soul." The stronger the Soul Master, the longer the remnant soul can remain in the body without external influence. Having lost the opportunity to fully process the Duchess's soul, Huo Yuhao immediately realized something was wrong.

The Duchess died under suspicious circumstances.

Not only was his death suspicious, but the way his soul dissipated was also suspicious.

If Huo Yuhao had arrived a few years later, the Duchess's soul would have long since returned to dust, and even her remains would have been nothing but bare bones. But Huo Yuhao arrived a little earlier.

That's why Huo Yuhao also noticed something was wrong.

This is bizarre.

Huo Yuhao frowned. He said the same thing again: even if the Duchess wasn't a Soul Douluo-level expert, she should at least be a Soul Saint. If she was healthy and free from illness, she should be able to live to be eighty or ninety years old. Even if she was sick, she should have been treated by a top-tier healing Soul Master.

But this very person died so hastily, which made Huo Yuhao uneasy.

Could it be that someone wanted him to let go and experience the beauty and goodness of humanity, so they killed the Duchess first?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao drew his God-Slaying Whip and lashed it out, sending the Duchess's bones flying. He then used his soul power to lash it out several more times until the Duchess's body was reduced to dust before he stopped.

Huo Yuhao threw a level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannonball into the other party's coffin. Huo Yuhao immediately felt his mind clear, and the pent-up emotions in his heart for more than ten years were swept away at this moment.

First, whip the corpse; then crush the bones; finally, scatter the ashes.

At this moment, the only weakness in Huo Yuhao's mind was completely vanished with the booming sound of the Level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannon being activated, along with the magnificent ball of fire rising up.
