Chapter 256: Dai Mubai's Twisted Fate, the Dark Devilgod Tiger Appears
Su Yun's plan was naturally approved by both Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu. Therefore, he did not linger at the Spirit Empire's stronghold for long. After bidding farewell to Ah Yin and the others, he set off towards the City of Slaughter.
The current City of Slaughter, without the presence of the Slaughter King, had become a playground for countless criminals who had committed heinous crimes.
Without the power of the Slaughter King to enforce order, the rule of might prevailed, and whoever had the strongest fist could claim dominance.
However, this only applied to their physical strength.
Even though the Slaughter King (Tang Chen) was dead, the rules within the City of Slaughter remained intact.
Without the Killing God Domain, these individuals could only rely on their martial souls and physical strength to fight.
If they encountered someone like Su Yun, who possessed the Killing God Domain, they were doomed.
At this moment, not far from the entrance to the City of Slaughter, a male figure with blond hair, dressed in white robes, and with a handsome yet sinister face, was visible.
If he were seen under normal circumstances, he would undoubtedly be a charmer among the ladies. However, at this moment, his entire body was covered in knife-like wounds, with blood soaking through his clothes, making him look quite dire.
This person was none other than the former leader of Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai.
Behind him, several Spirit Empire soldiers were pursuing him relentlessly.
"The third prince of the Star Luo Empire, reduced to sneaking around and launching sneak attacks? Stand and fight like a man!" One of the Spirit Empire soldiers roared. He was using all four limbs to move rapidly, with soul power emanating from him in a green glow, making him even faster. From his appearance, it was clear that this soldier's martial soul was the Wind Wolf.
The majority of Dai Mubai's injuries were inflicted by him.
"You Spirit Empire scum, you destroyed my country. One day, I will kill you all!" Ignoring his wounds, Dai Mubai roared and used his soul power to try to escape the pursuing Spirit Empire soldiers.
Recently, he had learned that his country, the Star Luo Empire, had been destroyed by the Spirit Empire established by the Spirit Hall. The emperor and several generals were forced to commit suicide, and many high-ranking members of the Zhu and Dai families ended their lives to preserve the last of their bloodlines.
Although Dai Mubai despised his family's rules, he couldn't swallow his anger over the destruction of his family and country.
Moreover, he found out that Zhu Zhuqing, that treacherous woman, not only didn't care about her family's fate but was also engaged to Su Yun, planning to marry him after the Spirit Empire conquered the continent.
Despite being advised by those around him that "revenge is a dish best served cold," he couldn't hold back any longer!
He wanted to kill all the Spirit Empire members to avenge his family!
He also wanted to kill that shameless woman who shared a bed with the enemy who nearly annihilated their family!
Whenever he thought of Zhu Zhuqing's disdainful attitude towards him and her delight with Su Yun, Dai Mubai wished to tear her apart.
Unfortunately, Su Yun protected Zhu Zhuqing too well, leaving him no chance to kill her.
Out of desperation, Dai Mubai resorted to ambushing Spirit Empire patrol squads.
With his Soul King-level strength and the powerful White Tiger martial soul, ordinary squads were no match for him.
But this time, he had miscalculated.
After multiple ambushes, the Spirit Empire had noticed him and tracked him down, leading to his current predicament.
"Shameless whore, living a high life in the Spirit Hall by trading her body, completely ignoring her family's plight." Dai Mubai cursed Zhu Zhuqing in his heart. In his view, even if Zhu Zhuqing had left the family, she should have stood up to help when the family was destroyed, not live her own carefree life.
While Dai Mubai was inwardly cursing, a burst of explosive energy suddenly appeared behind him, rapidly shooting towards his position.
"Fire Dragon Bullet!"
One of the Spirit Empire soldiers pursuing him, a Soul King-level squad leader, was the one who had overpowered Dai Mubai.
"Dammit!"
Upon sensing the overwhelming terrifying energy, even Dai Mubai didn't dare to be careless. Knowing he couldn't dodge the attack, he stopped and prepared to use all his remaining strength to block it.
However, just as Dai Mubai was about to make his move, an incredibly powerful and terrifying soul force suddenly surged from the sky, accompanied by the sound of a roaring wind!
In the next instant, everyone present saw a massive, jet-black hammer descending from the sky, precisely smashing the rapidly approaching Fire Dragon Bullet into a shower of brilliant sparks, an exceptionally dazzling sight.
"Boom!"
A figure landed with the impact of the giant black hammer, causing the ground around them to crack, showcasing their immense power.
Seeing the newcomer, the Spirit Empire soldiers' eyes widened in fear!
They immediately recognized the jet-black hammer, surrounded by black soul power like lightning— the Clear Sky Hammer!
Adding to that, the youthful appearance of the figure, who looked very much like their own Holy Son, made the person's identity obvious.
But… wasn't this person supposed to be on Seagod Island undergoing the Seagod's inheritance?
Why was he here?
"Xiao San?!"
Seeing the newcomer's face, Dai Mubai was incredibly shocked.
He had thought he was destined to die today, but unexpectedly, it was Tang San who came to his rescue!
"The Young Master of the Clear Sky Clan!"
"Run!"
Realizing Tang San's identity, the Spirit Empire soldiers immediately scattered in panic.
They weren't fools. Although Tang San was almost overpowered by their Holy Son Su Yun back then, it didn't mean Tang San was weak—only that their Holy Son was exceptionally strong.
If Tang San was seventy points, their Holy Son would be a hundred, while they, the soldiers, were probably only forty or fifty points.
"Xiao San, don't let them escape!" Dai Mubai urgently shouted, urging Tang San to intercept and kill them to prevent them from leaking his presence, which would be a real problem.
Tang San needed no prompting from Dai Mubai. With a cold snort, he said, "Hmph, trying to escape?"
"Stay here!"
Without hesitation, Tang San wielded the Clear Sky Hammer, with his soul rings lighting up one after another.
In less than a minute, only the bodies of the Spirit Empire soldiers remained.
"Phew— Xiao San, thank you so much," Dai Mubai expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Tang San.
Tang San shook his head, "No need to thank me between us."
After a brief exchange, they started conversing more casually.
Upon learning about Dai Mubai's feelings, Tang San firmly patted his shoulder and said, "Mubai, when I become a god, I will avenge you and capture that despicable Zhu Zhuqing."
Dai Mubai nodded, then added, "Xiao San, since you're heading to the City of Slaughter for the divine trials, can you take me with you?"
To the City of Slaughter?
"Mubai? What are you going there for? Don't you know that place forbids the use of soul skills, and only martial souls are allowed?" Tang San frowned, but then his expression relaxed. "You want to gain the Killing God Domain to seek revenge?"
Dai Mubai nodded, "Exactly."
"I've discussed with Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Master Yu Yuanzhen. The Killing God Domain you and Su Yun obtained significantly enhances a soul master's combat ability."
"And my martial soul is the White Tiger, specializing in offensive capabilities. If I can acquire the Killing God Domain, it would greatly benefit me."
"For the sake of revenge, I must become stronger at any cost!"
Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot.
Previously, he couldn't empathize with Tang San's loss of his father, but now, he understood.
To avenge his family, he was willing to give everything!
"No."
Tang San shook his head and explained his reasoning: "Mubai, I know you want revenge, but you might not realize that the City of Slaughter is a place of certain death."
"In the City of Slaughter, danger lurks everywhere, and everyone is your enemy."
"There, you can't use soul skills, only your martial soul and physical strength."
"Ask yourself, without soul skills, can you survive?"
Although Tang San's words were meant to be persuasive, they deeply struck Dai Mubai, making him clench his fists tightly.
The harsh truth often hurts the most.
"Thud—"
Dai Mubai suddenly knelt before Tang San.
"Xiao San, I beg you, can you teach me your self-created soul skill?"
Kneeling and bowing, Dai Mubai pleaded, "With your self-created soul skill, I will surely be able to survive the City of Slaughter."
Dai Mubai knew that with his current strength, he couldn't survive the City of Slaughter. However, he had witnessed Tang San using his self-created soul skills to achieve numerous victories against stronger opponents. Even now, Tang San's self-created soul skills were incredibly powerful.
This demonstrated that if Dai Mubai could learn these self-created soul skills, his chances of surviving the City of Slaughter would greatly increase.
"Mubai, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but my self-created soul skills are best suited for those who started training young. At your age, starting now is too late. Forcing yourself to learn them would yield very limited results," Tang San shook his head. "What you should do now is maintain a good mindset. Instead of risking your life to enter the City of Slaughter, follow a steady training regimen."
"As your brother, I will help you get your revenge."
"Go back and hide. With the protection of our top three sects, even the Spirit Empire can't touch you."
Leaving these words, Tang San transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the City of Slaughter.
However, although Tang San's words were reasonable, they sounded extremely harsh to Dai Mubai at this moment.
He felt that Tang San was brushing him off.
He even thought that Tang San believed he was unworthy of learning his self-created soul skills.
Dai Mubai knew that even in the Clear Sky Clan, some people older than him had already learned Tang San's self-created soul skills.
"Hmph, just because you're inheriting a god's power, you look down on me?"
"You say you're thinking of my well-being, but aren't you just afraid I'll steal your Clear Sky Clan's self-created soul skills?"
Dai Mubai clenched his fists tightly, his sharp nails piercing his palms and causing blood to drip to the ground.
"You think I'll owe you for saving me? Dream on!"
Dai Mubai's heart, already twisted by the desire for revenge, had now completely darkened. Originally, he had some affection for Tang San.
But due to his recent experiences, his mindset had become distorted. Now, whenever he thought of Tang San's words, he felt that Tang San was being hypocritical.
If Tang San truly wanted to help, why didn't he just teach him the self-created soul skills?
If that was impossible, he could protect him in the City of Slaughter. With his current strength, he could easily do that.
But he did nothing, only moving his lips.
All Tang San thought about was his plan to become a god.
The more Dai Mubai imagined Tang San becoming a god and receiving universal admiration, the more twisted his heart became.
Why!
Why can you become a god, but not me!
Why do the people of your top three sects get to live, while my Star Luo royal family must perish!
Dai Mubai even began to suspect that the alliance between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire was just a farce.
Back then, the Heaven Dou Empire promised to send reinforcements to help the Star Luo Empire, but what happened?
The Star Luo Empire still fell!
It was all a conspiracy of the Heaven Dou Empire!
"Ahhh!!!"
Dai Mubai roared to the sky, trying to vent his inner hatred!
However, the more he roared, the darker his heart became!
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Dai Mubai's ears.
"Boy, come to me."
Dai Mubai was startled, looking around frantically, but saw no one. He asked in surprise, "Who?!"
"Who is talking to me?"
Buzz.
In the next second, Dai Mubai saw in his mind a giant tiger covered in dark fur, nearly ten meters long!
Its eyes were blood-red, exuding a chilling aura. The "king" character on its forehead radiated its imperial presence. Dark mist swirled around it, and its most striking feature was its upturned barbed tail.
In just one glance, the overwhelming evil and killing intent enveloped Dai Mubai.
"Was it you talking to me?" Dai Mubai immediately realized.
"Heh, not a stupid kid."
"Boy, since you have the bloodline of my White Tiger clan, I'll be honest with you. I am the Dark Devilgod Tiger!"
"If you want to become stronger, if you want revenge, I can provide you with a way."
