Chapter 64: I Already Have an Answer in My Heart
The night hung heavy, and the stars seemed to fall.
"Elders, am I going too far with this?"
Kong said expressionlessly, pointing to where Shi Nian had vanished.
Survival of the fittest is true, but one must have a measure of morality.
Shi Nian could hunt down the rising stars of the soul master world for fun, but he ultimately fell to Tang San in the original story.
Kong had no past grudges with Shi Nian and killed him over a soul bone without any reason, which might seem vile to some, even disgusting.
Yu Yuanshen and Yu Longwu were taken aback and exchanged puzzled glances.
To them, Kong had already shown great mercy by not eradicating Shi Nian completely. Wasn't that considered merciful?
Kong shook his head, realizing he wouldn't get an answer from these two elders.
"When killing Hilichurls for materials, did you ever think they once were…"
"Puh…"
With an answer in his heart, Kong's lips curled slightly, feeling no psychological burden.
"Young Master, you…"
Before Yu Yuanshen could finish, Kong waved his hand and said, "I already have the answer in my heart, thank you for clarifying, Elder."
Yu Yuanshen: "..."
I haven't said anything, and you've already figured it out…
"Let's go back first."
After saying this, Kong headed towards the town hotel.
He was contemplating how to deal with the soul bone.
This head soul bone was a gem type, very rare, and nearly twenty to thirty thousand years old. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might not have it.
If exchanged with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it could be traded for a fifty-thousand-year-old limb soul bone suitable for attack types or an equally valuable head soul bone.
As for torso soul bones, even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had one, they wouldn't trade it. Torso soul bones were too precious, even more so than head soul bones.
"If possible, I could get a torso or left arm soul bone for the old man."
Yu Yuanzhen possessed three soul bones: right arm, left leg, and right leg.
He still lacked left arm, torso, and head soul bones. Ordinary soul bones wouldn't provide much benefit for a powerhouse of his level, only those over fifty thousand years old would be effective.
Yu Yuanzhen had been at soul power level ninety-eight for almost six years with no progress, which was normal.
If simply training for a few years could break from level ninety-eight to ninety-nine, where would that leave Golden Crocodile, who had been training for decades?
No progress was perfectly normal.
Breaking from level ninety-eight to ninety-nine required even more soul power accumulation than breaking from level ninety-one to ninety-eight!
"Sigh, old man, I'm doing my best for your safety!"
What could be done, especially with Bibi Dong targeting him…
Yu Yuanshen and Yu Longwu said nothing, exchanged glances, and disappeared into the night.
They only needed to protect Kong in secret.
As for the soul bone, they had thoughts, but since Kong didn't give it to them, they couldn't have any thoughts about it. Following the young sect master meant they wouldn't be mistreated.
How long had it been?
Yu Yuanshen got a soul bone, and Yu Longwu obtained a "divine medicine." Though the "divine medicine" had significant side effects, it still helped him break through a level!
Scene transition to Flender's side.
He was a bit stunned. Did the other side really let him off so easily? Just by mentioning Liu Erlong's name, they didn't finish him off but let him go?
Confused as he was, he was grateful to be alive. He felt lucky to have sworn brotherhood with Liu Erlong. As for Yu Xiaogang, didn't the other party almost attack upon hearing his name?
"Xiaogang, oh Xiaogang, what exactly did you do to deserve such treatment from your clan?"
Being a useless martial soul shouldn't warrant this. Having only half a rank of innate soul power shouldn't warrant this either.
Yu Xiaogang must have hidden something. Otherwise, even if the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan expelled him, they shouldn't be filled with such killing intent.
He was, after all, the son of the sect master Yu Yuanzhen. No matter how useless, he didn't deserve to die!
Flender was filled with confusion but couldn't find any answers.
Suddenly, Flender froze, his pupils constricting. He remembered that when he left, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai were fighting against a Soul King.
Even though they were geniuses and prodigies, the actual strength gap didn't care about talent!
Two Grandmasters and one Soul Elder couldn't possibly defeat a Soul King!
Even if the Soul King's rings weren't optimal, he was still a Soul King-level powerhouse!
Outsiders weren't like Zhao Wuji, who was just testing them; they were serious and would kill!
If Tang San and the others thought that a Soul Saint wasn't that strong and thus underestimated a Soul King, they wouldn't know how they died!
Thinking of this, Flender's martial soul instantly attached to his body, and he disappeared from the spot.
When Kong returned to the hotel entrance, he was puzzled. He had come back, but Flender, who left first, wasn't back yet?
At this moment, Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu were lying on the ground, bruised and battered. Although they hadn't fainted, their soul power was exhausted. Clearly, they had been beaten and no longer had the strength to fight.
A Soul King is still a Soul King, not someone Grandmasters and Soul Elders can challenge.
Tang San was still barely holding on. He was also bruised and panting heavily, his blue attire torn to shreds.
He couldn't understand. He had managed to hold his own against a Soul Saint like Zhao Wuji and almost won. If not for failing to break Zhao Wuji's protective barrier, he wouldn't have lost!
But now, facing just a Soul King, why was it so difficult?
Tang San had managed to hold on due to the characteristics of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and his hidden weapons.
Ye Zhiqiu was also a bit stunned. This little monster had many tricks, especially those "iron gadgets." If he weren't a defense-type Soul King, he might have been killed by that black box out of carelessness.
Such things, Ye Zhiqiu had never seen or even heard of.
Because Xiao Wu was injured, Tang San no longer saw this as a simple match but intended to kill Ye Zhiqiu. This Soul King, despite having trained for decades, dared to harm Xiao Wu!
"Ye Zhiqiu, you've sealed your fate!"
