Chapter 43: Decisive Chu Chen, Killing Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang
Seeing Chu Chen kill the two of them without mercy, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang both realized that this person truly was a Devil King!
How could a ruthless person who could fight on the Life-and-Death Stage without using a single Soul Skill be afraid of their threats? Moreover, it was likely that not a single person in their group was a match for Chu Chen!
"How dare you kill someone from our Blazing Academy! Boy, you must be tired of living."
At that moment, an old man appeared in front of Huo Wu.
"Elder Huo!" Seeing the newcomer, Huo Wu immediately resumed her previous arrogant and overbearing demeanor. She pointed at Chu Chen and said sharply, "Elder Huo, he's the one who killed Brother Changkong, and he just killed two more of our people!"
The old man known as Elder Huo raised his eyes to look at Chu Chen, an invisible pressure erupting from him.
Then, with his hands behind his back, seven Soul Rings bloomed!
"It seems your Blazing Academy is nothing more than a bunch of cowards."
Chu Chen quietly gathered surging life force. Even against a Soul Saint, he felt no fear; the only thing he needed to worry about was whether fighting in Heaven Dou City would draw unnecessary attention.
"Boy, I'll give you a chance to cripple your own Martial Soul, and I might spare your life." Elder Huo gazed at Chu Chen contemptuously, completely disregarding him.
"Noisy."
Killing intent surged in Chu Chen's eyes.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a terrifyingly vast Soul Power erupted, crushing down invisibly from the air. In an instant, it slammed Elder Huo and the group from Blazing Academy into the ground, followed by the crisp sound of shattering bones.
Elder Huo let out a miserable scream as his kneecaps were instantly pulverized.
Dugu Bo walked slowly from behind Chu Chen. With each Soul Ring he released, the space itself seemed to freeze.
"Titled... Douluo!"
Elder Huo was terrified, his voice trembling.
Huo Wu and the others were even more scared out of their wits. They had no idea that Chu Chen had a Titled Douluo backing him. A single Titled Douluo was enough to wipe out their Blazing Academy. What on earth were they doing, seeking their own deaths like this?
"Blazing Academy? Just a trash academy, yet so overbearing?"
Dugu Bo walked to Chu Chen's side and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Just killed two people; my hands are still warm," Chu Chen joked.
"Not bad, you have a bit of my style from back in the day. Leave the rest to me."
Dugu Bo nodded and then approached Elder Huo.
By now, Elder Huo had recognized Dugu Bo's identity. He said in terror, "Poison... Poison Douluo Senior, My Lord, this must be a mistake, a mistake..."
"A mistake? This old man may be getting on in years, but my ears still work quite well. Just now, it seemed you said you wanted my brother to cripple his own Martial Soul?"
At this moment, Dugu Bo had returned to his image as the cold-blooded Titled Douluo who made everyone tremble with fear. He looked at Elder Huo, who was kneeling on the ground with his knees already shattered, and spoke casually.
"Do it yourself, otherwise, this old man doesn't mind wiping out your Blazing Academy."
Dugu Bo's calm and indifferent manner made it sound as if he were discussing something trivial.
"No... no...!"
Elder Huo shook his head repeatedly. He had cultivated until now to finally reach the hard-won strength of a Soul Saint. To ask him to cripple his own Martial Soul? It would be better to just kill him!
"No! Asking me to cripple my Martial Soul is worse than killing me!"
Elder Huo screamed.
Poof!
As soon as he finished speaking, his body exploded. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, splattering all over Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the others.
"As you wish."
Dugu Bo turned and left, no longer caring about the terrified Huo Wu and her companions. Facing the terrifying pressure of a Titled Douluo, what could they do? They didn't even have the courage to lift their heads.
Elder Huo's miserable death also crushed the pitiful bit of pride in their hearts. From beginning to end, they were nothing at all.
Dugu Bo returned to Chu Chen's side and whispered, "Do you want to kill all of them? These few are nothing, but the Great Spirit Arena has already revealed that Blazing Academy bribed them."
"If this entire younger generation of Blazing Academy disappears, I'm afraid they will demand the Empire intervene. At that time, your identity as 'Destruction' won't be able to escape suspicion. If they start investigating..."
Before Dugu Bo could finish, he saw Chu Chen manifest the Blue Silver Emperor, which burst from the ground and pierced through the bodies of the group.
Huo Wu and the others died just like that.
With his current power, it was easy to accomplish.
"Old Poison, I've heard that in the eyes of others, you are decisive in killing and sinisterly ruthless. Why is it that today, when it's just killing a few people, you have to ask me?"
Chu Chen shrugged casually, then left the place together with Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
"This kid's ruthless personality is actually quite similar to mine." Dugu Bo laughed heartily and conjured a cloud of Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison. Before long, the corpses of Huo Wu and the others turned into a pool of pus.
...
"You kid, you really are decisive in your killing."
On the way back, Dugu Bo teased.
"They already wanted to kill me. If I let them go, wouldn't that be ridiculous? They should be killed to avoid future trouble."
Chu Chen didn't care about killing these few people. Even without Dugu Bo, he was never a kind-hearted person. Hiding his strength all this time didn't mean his killing intent was also hidden.
"Brother Destruction."
A familiar voice came. Chu Chen and Dugu Bo stopped their steps and saw Xue Qinghe coming from ahead. Upon seeing Chu Chen, Xue Qinghe gave a gentle smile: "Brother Destruction, are you alright?"
"Brother Qinghe, I've suffered some internal injuries, but it's nothing serious."
Chu Chen responded.
Dugu Bo: "???"
"Didn't this kid say he couldn't be bothered with Imperial Family matters? How is he so familiar with the Crown Prince? He was tricking me, wasn't he?!"
Dugu Bo stared at the two with a strange look. Xue Qinghe stepped forward and bowed to Dugu Bo: "Senior Dugu, it is Qinghe's honor to see you again."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince must be joking. You are the Crown Prince of a nation, while I am but an idle man. How can you use the word 'honor'?"
Dugu Bo shook his head. Seeing that Chu Chen and Xue Qinghe seemed very familiar, he didn't ask further: "Since you, Destruction, and His Highness have reunited after a long time, I won't disturb you. You two chat."
"Senior Dugu, see you next time," Xue Qinghe said with a smile.
Although Dugu Bo was puzzled, he disappeared ahead in a few leaps.
"Brother Destruction, we haven't seen each other for a few days. Tonight, I heard you returned to participate in a death match, so I came here. I didn't expect to encounter such an absurd matter. I wonder how your injuries are? I can have people from the palace treat you."
The concern in Xue Qinghe's tone didn't seem fake. Even if he had intentions of testing him, this concern was genuine.
Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, truly regarded Chu Chen as a close friend. How could a Soul Sect kill a Soul Emperor without paying some price?
