Qiao Bichi was utterly terrified, quivering as he spoke, "Don't... don't kill me..."
At this moment, Li Beta returned, worried about Ye Yu. Seeing that Ye Yu hadn't escaped, he came back to check, as Ye Yu was in danger because of him.
However, upon his return, he discovered that Qiao Bichi's partner had already died.
"This... how could..."
With a casual wave of Ye Yu's hand, a surge of power swept forth, directly blasting Qiao Bichi away, leaving him heavily injured on the ground.
Ye Yu said to Li Beta, "His life is in your hands."
With that, Ye Yu left, and Li Beta was immensely grateful, as he finally had a chance to avenge.
Li Beta began a violent attack, venting the years of agony from his nightmares.
Qiao Bichi's screams continued, gradually fading away, as Li Beta beat him to death.
The shadow in Li Beta's heart was swept away, and he felt liberated at last.
He was deeply grateful to Ye Yu for helping him resolve the knot in his heart.
"Thank you, Boss Yu."
...
At this moment, Ye Yu continued his journey.
Two days later, Ye Yu arrived at the Balak Kingdom.
This kingdom is located in the southern part of the Tian Dou Empire. Within its borders are two important cities, Bakla City where King Balak resides, and Soto City where Ye Yu has arrived.
Nuoding and Sotobi are akin to the difference between county town and provincial capital.
Currently, Ye Yu has arrived at the Rose Hotel, the place he agreed to meet Tang San and Xiao Wu. Upon entering, he found Tang San arguing with a young man.
Ye Yu glanced over; the young man was about fifteen years old, standing at 1.8 meters tall, handsome, with long golden hair draped behind him, exuding an air of nobility.
On either side of the young man were twin beauties, approximately eighteen years old. Their appearance and figure were top-notch.
Ye Yu knew this young man was Dai Mubai.
There seemed to already be a squabble, Dai Mubai sighed lightly, "Your strength is not bad, forcing me to use soul power. Consider yourself victorious; the room is yours. But I'm unwilling to let this go without a proper match, will you dare to face me?"
Tang San knew the other was strong, igniting a fiery battle intent in his heart.
"Of course, I dare." Tang San was unafraid.
Dai Mubai directly released his martial soul, "White Tiger, attach!"
Intense white light shone as Dai Mubai stretched his arms, his chest protruding, muscles bulging, tightly clenching his clothes. Each muscle contour appeared extremely distinct under his clothes.
Dai Mubai's aura turned ferocious, his golden hair transforming into a mix of black and white, predominantly white, with a few prominent strands of black. Four faint lines appeared on his forehead, forming a king character.
His hands enlarged twice over, covered in white fur, with razor-sharp claws emerging from between his fingers, gleaming with a chilling light.
Simultaneously, three soul rings descended atop him, encircling his body.
From bottom to top, the three soul rings were: yellow, yellow, purple!
Tang San was astonished, "War Soul Venerable, Thousand-Year Soul Ring."
Xiao Wu was a bit worried, the young man before them was far more formidable than she imagined.
At this point, Ye Yu walked in, and Xiao Wu was very happy to see him, no longer worried.
"Brother Yu," Xiao Wu called out joyfully.
Ye Yu smiled and nodded, asking, "What happened here?"
Xiao Wu glanced at Dai Mubai, agitatedly saying, "We were here first, only one room left, then this guy said he wanted it, with no sense of who came first, very arrogant. So, he started fighting with Third Brother."
Dai Mubai glanced at Ye Yu, disregarding him entirely, he seemed just as young as Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Is another helper here? How about you come together?" Dai Mubai said arrogantly.
Xiao Wu huffed, "Together? Hmph, Brother Yu alone could beat you up so badly even your mom wouldn't recognize you!"
Dai Mubai furrowed his brows slightly, arrogantly saying, "I, Dai Mubai, Martial Soul White Tiger, Level 37 War Soul Venerable. Your age is around twelve, right? I doubt your soul power exceeds Level 30."
He considered himself a genius, recalling that at twelve, he was only Level 28, hence he was confident the three before him were only in their twenties level-wise.
Tang San stood with fierce determination, "Brother Yu, please don't intervene, I want to challenge him myself, no support augment, I want to rely on my own strength."
Tang San wanted to confront a strong opponent, and Dai Mubai before him was most appropriate, feeling the pressure.
Ye Yu nodded, "Alright."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai glanced at Ye Yu, "Support Type, huh? Even with support, there's no way you could win against me."
Tang San raised his right hand, blue light radiating, Blue Silver Grass emerged. The vein patterns on the leaves resembled snake patterns, with several vines dancing wildly like lively large serpents.
Two soul rings hovered around Tang San, causing Dai Mubai slight surprise.
"Two Hundred-Year Soul Rings, just like me."
Surprised, he wondered, "Your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass? Wasted Martial Soul, yet able to cultivate to over Level 20?"
Tang San replied seriously, "There's no wasted martial soul, only wasted soul masters."
Tang San introduced himself, "Tang San, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass. Level 29 Control Type Artifact Soul Master! Please enlighten me!"
Dai Mubai agreed with Tang San's sentiment that there are no wasted martial souls, only wasted soul masters.
As Dai Mubai and Tang San began their battle, Dai Mubai soon felt paralyzed.
Dai Mubai's body was entangled by vines, being the soul technique Parasite from Tang San's Second Soul Ring, Ghost Vine.
Tang San's Second Soul Ring came from a six-hundred-year Ghost Vine Soul Beast. Ghost Vine is a terrifying Plant Type Soul Beast with extremely potent neurotoxins, when pierced, it gradually turns into pus. Its most horrifying ability is its parasitic nature, when in contact with humans, minute seeds will parasitize within the body, spreading toxins as they grow.
This soul ring was hunted with Ye Yu's help. Originally, Master intended to seek Dean Ma Yun's help, but Ye Yu felt capable on his own, and Master also trusted Ye Yu's strength.
Dai Mubai praised, "If you and I were at the same level, I would lose, but I have a third soul ring."
As the purple soul ring shone, Dai Mubai's body expanded, his eyes turned blood-red, and his aura became even more ferocious.
With a shudder of his body, the Blue Silver Grass entangling him shattered into powder.
Tang San was astonished, turning serious, "He can transform?"
Dai Mubai's appearance further changed drastically, his clothes torn apart, and his skin became akin to tiger hide. His tiger palms enlarged, and his blade-like claws radiated a bright silver hue.
Most peculiar was his body enveloped in golden light, as if coated in a layer of gold. His eyes were blood-red and obsessed, rendering him more imposing, resembling a king of beasts.
Dai Mubai utilized his Third Soul Skill, and Tang San was not his match, quickly defeated. Blue Silver Grass couldn't approach, as the tenacious Blue Silver Grass would be shredded by Dai Mubai's claws.
Just then, Ye Yu who was sitting and observing stood up.
Xiao Wu instantly seemed like an admirer, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "Is Brother Yu going to intervene?"
Dai Mubai looked at Ye Yu, contemplating, "Are they going to fight together?"
However, Ye Yu's next words left Dai Mubai dumbfounded.
"Xiao San, let me handle it."
"Alright!" Tang San nodded.
Dai Mubai was stunned, not cooperating with Tang San but taking him on alone?
Dai Mubai asked, "Are you crazy? I thought you two were going to team up against me, but you, a support type, want to duel a Level 37 War Soul Venerable?"
Ye Yu corrected, "Support types can be quite powerful too."
