Mubai and Zhuqing knew well how much of a demon Ye Yu was, but seeing Ye Yu instantly kill seven Soul Saints, they were extremely shocked.
In their hearts, they were very happy that Ye Yu had become so strong.
Two years had passed, and they knew Ye Yu was definitely stronger, but it still exceeded their expectations. They realized that even though they worked harder, they hadn't closed the gap between them and Ye Yu; instead, it had widened.
After recovering from their shock, the three Soul Douluos looked extremely grim. Losing seven strong members was a tremendous loss for Hundred Emperors City. Even if the City Lord could become a Martial Soul Hall Elder, they still felt at a significant loss.
"Damn! You killed my city's seven Soul Saints; you must die! Your Soul Bones will compensate for this!"
The leading Soul Douluo let out an angry roar, and as his seventh Soul Ring flashed, he transformed into a ten-meter-tall berserk black bear.
The other two Level 86 Soul Douluos transformed into similarly sized golden-furred monkeys and rhinos.
The Level 87 Soul Douluo was of the Strong Attack Type. The other two were of the Agile Attack Type and the Defense Type, respectively.
There was no Control Type, which made Ye Yu slightly relieved; if there were, it would be more troublesome.
Ye Yu felt that at full strength he could match an Level 85 Soul Douluo, but facing an Level 86 Soul Douluo, it would be hard to call it a win, let alone two Level 86 and one Level 87.
One must know, the higher the level, the larger the gap between each level. Therefore, facing these three Soul Douluos, Ye Yu couldn't kill them all.
Ye Yu said to Mubai, "You should stay away from here, or better yet, leave. Trust me, even if I don't win, I am confident I can leave safely."
Though worried, since Ye Yu said this, as partners, they chose to trust him.
Mubai and Zhuqing quickly left, as well as the villagers.
The three Soul Douluos did not pursue them, their goal was only Ye Yu.
The Strong Attack Soul Douluo snorted coldly, "Leave safely? Humph, you must die!"
They must kill Ye Yu; otherwise, the death of seven Soul Saints would be for nothing, and they would be establishing a demonic enemy that, in a few years, would surely become a nightmare for Hundred Emperors City.
Ye Yu calmly replied, "You are destined to gain nothing. You will lose your soldiers and won't get any reward from Martial Soul Hall."
"Humph, facing us three Soul Douluos, do you really think you can escape? Maybe in ten years we'd fear not being your match, but now, with the three of us together, you are doomed to die!"
The Agile Attack Type transformed into a golden light, flashing in with extreme speed, like a golden lightning bolt.
Ye Yu went all out to respond; this battle was no less difficult than facing the previous seven, and indeed it was harder.
Ye Yu was entirely focused. As the claw was about to slash him, he sidestepped, dodging, and the dragon claw whistled as it struck out.
Feeling the power the dragon claw brought, he was shocked and understood why the seven Soul Saints were killed instantly - this power level was comparable to Level 85.
However, he was Level 86, and even against three Level 85, he could remain undefeated.
The Agile Attack Soul Douluo's monkey claw reached out, sending forth a golden flame, which collided explosively with the dragon claw.
Whoosh!!
The dragon claw smashed through the flame, whistling toward him, causing his heart to panic as he felt his body scorched in pain.
He raised his hand to block, but with a muffled sound, he was directly sent flying, crashing 20 meters away, arms trembling in pain, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, the other two Soul Douluos were incredibly astonished. How could this be?
The Agile Attack Soul Douluo, after testing Ye Yu's true strength, was deeply shocked and said solemnly, "His defense, power, reaction speed are all top-notch! And during my attack's collision with his, I felt a scorching pain, and the most terrifying thing was, the moment his dragon claw struck me, I felt my defense drop by 70%!"
"What?!"
The two Soul Douluos were horrified; a 70% defense drop? That's terrifying!
Their expressions grew solemn, not daring to underestimate, as this single ability was already alarming.
"Such an extremely terrifying ability, is it from his Soul Technique or Soul Bone?"
The Agile Attack Douluo reminded, "Moreover, when his attack landed on me, the force far exceeded what I gauged from the wind strength. It seems, at the moment of collision, not only defense was reduced, but strength was also enhanced."
They became fully serious, with such terrifying abilities, it seemed like he was Support Type, but also top-notch Strong Attack Type, top-notch Defense Type, and top-notch Agile Type, simply all-round.
The Defensive Soul Douluo looked eagerly at the five pieces of External Soul Bone on Ye Yu, eyes alight with excitement and greed.
"It seems, for him to be so terrifying, part of it comes from the five Soul Bones on him. Intelligence reported he had four, now it's five, meaning in two years he obtained another, truly enviable. However, this is better; after killing him, each of us can have three. Comparing Martial Soul Hall's Soul Bones doesn't match his. Martial Soul Hall's Soul Bone, just let it go to him."
The Defensive Soul Douluo glanced at the Soul Emperor behind.
The Soul Emperor was instantly thrilled and excited, "Thank you, Elder!"
The Strong Attack Soul Douluo's gaze burned: "His two arm bones, one must be power-type, I want it."
The Agile Attack Soul Douluo greedily eyed the blue leg armor-like Soul Bone on Ye Yu's right leg, voice barely hiding its excitement, "Then I'll take this Soul Bone. It's speed-type, and his such swift speed is because of this leg bone. I believe once I absorb it, my power will greatly ascend a tier!"
The Defensive Soul Douluo looked at the chocolate-colored armor covering Ye Yu, excitedly stating, "His defense being so strong must be related to this trunk External Soul Bone, along with that terrifying reflective damage ability, hahaha, if I get it, even Level 89 Soul Douluos won't think of killing me!"
The Strong Attack Soul Douluo glanced at Ye Yu's leg bone, eyes flickering with greed, "Second, you've struck it rich, this leg bone among the five has the highest years, flashes red light, and is as dark red as blood, from a Soul Beast over a hundred thousand years old."
The Agile Attack Soul Douluo also saw it and asked, "Big brother wouldn't also want it, would he?"
"Haha, it doesn't have much effect for me, suits you well, so the three of us each get one."
The three of them were excitedly discussing, as if the External Soul Bones were already theirs.
On Ye Yu's body, the fifth hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring flashed blinding red. Suddenly, three shimmering dark green Black Begonia petals floated out, rapidly transforming into a mass of dark green poison mist.
The faces of the three Soul Douluos changed drastically. Inside the poison mist, it was as if a giant python was moving, issuing chilling hissing sounds.
Their hearts grew cold, swiftly retreating. Looking at the poison mist, they seemed to see an illusory snake, eyes widening with great fear.
"Nine-Sectioned Jade?!"
The three simultaneously thought of this most terrifyingly toxic Soul Beast, but realized it was too late, already within the poison mist.
They thought the toxin wouldn't be so strong since Ye Yu was just a Soul Emperor, but within the mist, they suddenly felt their bodies in pain, dizzy, paralyzed, continually corroded.
They groaned in pain, and as the mist dissipated, patches of their skin were rotting, flesh exposed, with faces full of pain.
They felt immensely heavy in their hearts; this poison mist had inflicted quite a serious wound on the three of them!
Looking at the grim-faced three Soul Douluos, Ye Yu coldly stated, "You were quite high-spirited in your discussions just now, already planning which Soul Bone to take. But do you have the life to use them?"
