Chapter 100: Serial Ambush, Wild Chase!

While humming a song, Huo Yuhao walked along a familiar path toward Old Mo's shop.

Naturally, he was going to set up his stall today. Moreover, during the past month at the Extreme North, he needed to collect commissions from various branches, which required his attention.

The street food business in Shrek City was extremely profitable. Although Huo Yuhao wasn't short of money, more money was always welcome. After all, you never know when you'll need it, especially for someone like Huo Yuhao who needed to study alchemy.

However, as he walked, his brows suddenly furrowed. Even so, his steps didn't falter, and he continued walking at a leisurely pace.

"Yuhao, there's killing intent aimed at you," the vigilant voice of Tianmeng Iceworm echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a smile as he said, "I vaguely sensed it earlier. But this person is clearly a novice; they aren't good at concealing their killing intent. That moment they exposed themselves, I pinpointed their location."

"Yuhao, that aura should belong to the female teacher you previously had a conflict with," Yao Lao's voice also sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Zhou Yi? Haha, she finally couldn't hold back and wants to make a move on me?" Huo Yuhao chuckled lightly. "Good timing. If you don't cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, they'll come back to haunt you. Brother Tianmeng, what do you say?"

"My Tianmeng Finger is already off cooldown!" Tianmeng shouted. "Yuhao, this crazy old hag wants to ambush you. Don't hold back, take her down!"

"No rush. Let's keep moving forward to a secluded spot that will make it easier for her to strike," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Ahead, not far away, was Old Mo's fish stall. However, when Huo Yuhao was within fifty meters of the stall, he suddenly paused.

"There's someone else!"

"An ambush!"

"There's more of them?"

"These humans are courting death!"

Four voices simultaneously rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind, even causing the usually silent Ice Emperor to speak, indicating her fury.

The further he walked, the stronger the killing intent became. Huo Yuhao cautiously focused his mental detection in the direction of the killing intent, significantly extending his detection range.

Seventy meters away, next to Old Mo's fish stall, six people were quietly lurking. The faint soul power fluctuations from their bodies revealed that all of them were above the Soul King level, and there were even Soul Emperor level experts among them.

"Hmph, Dai Huabin's men?" Huo Yuhao connected the dots with the plot and immediately deduced the source of these people.

"One sheep to herd, two to drive. Since they've gathered, they might as well die together."

After taking a few more steps, Old Mo had already greeted Huo Yuhao from the stall.

But Huo Yuhao suddenly played an unexpected move. He pretended to pick out a fish from Old Mo's stall, choosing a frozen fish over a meter long. Then, he suddenly activated his movement technique and dashed towards a nearby alley.

"Huh? What's this new hobby of the boss? Should I follow him?" Old Mo scratched his head in confusion.

However, Zhou Yi, who was following Huo Yuhao, and the six White Tiger Duke's men lying in ambush, were all stunned. Huo Yuhao had chosen an escape route that neither side could immediately reach.

The six ambushers quickly reacted, emerging from their hiding spots in the woods. All six had soul rings glowing on their bodies; five of them had five rings, and one even had six rings, a Soul Emperor level expert.

Three of them instantly took to the air, each using flying skills. The six attackers pursued Huo Yuhao from both air and ground.

Although Zhou Yi was slightly slower to react than the battle-hardened White Tiger Duke's men, she soon realized that Huo Yuhao had discovered her. Seeing the six strong attackers chasing Huo Yuhao, she first hesitated, then smiled brightly.

"Huo Yuhao, you brought this on yourself. So many people want you dead today, where will you run?"

Despite his fast movement technique, Huo Yuhao's speed was not enough to escape Soul King and Soul Emperor level experts. However, catching him immediately was not easy either.

"This is Shrek City; we don't have time to tangle with him! Quickly, kill him and let's get out of here," the leading Soul Emperor shouted.

Upon hearing this, one of the airborne attackers had their fourth purple soul ring light up, unleashing a thousand-year soul skill.

A burst of intense blue-purple light shone on his wings. With a powerful flap, he accelerated like a meteor towards Huo Yuhao.

However, Huo Yuhao deftly turned into a narrow alley on the left, dodging the airborne attack. The right-angle turn made it impossible for the flying soul master to decelerate and enter the alley, widening the gap between them again.

After running for a while, Huo Yuhao encountered Zhou Yi and the Soul Emperor at a crossroads. The two exchanged a glance and launched their attacks on Huo Yuhao simultaneously.

The White Tiger Duke's Soul Emperor raised his right hand, wielding a black-flamed sword that he slashed down towards Huo Yuhao. The black flames were from a ten-thousand-year soul skill, unmatched in power.

Zhou Yi, meanwhile, charged at Huo Yuhao, her hands emitting blazing red flames like two long whips aimed at him.

"Playing with fire?" Huo Yuhao sneered, standing his ground without dodging.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Two soft cries came from his shoulders as a small fox with silky white fur emerged from his collar.

Seeing the approaching black and red flames, the little fox's eyes showed disdain. Its eyes emitted a white, eerie cold aura and black phoenix evil fire.

The two flames merged into a black and white lotus, flying towards Zhou Yi and the Soul Emperor.

Feeling the terrifying power of the black-and-white fire lotus, Zhou Yi and the Soul Emperor's eyes twitched. They felt genuine death from the lotus.

"Defend together!"

The Soul Emperor shouted to Zhou Yi, and both unleashed their strongest defenses to block the fire lotus.

Watching the fire lotus approaching them, Huo Yuhao extended his hand, clenched his fist, and softly said, "Explode!"

With his command, the lotus paused mid-air, expanded slightly, and then exploded violently.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion sent Zhou Yi and the Soul Emperor flying, their bodies spraying blood.

However, Huo Yuhao was also drained, with no soul power left to move.

"Huo Yuhao, die!"

The flying soul master's voice echoed as he saw the leading Soul Emperor gravely injured by Huo Yuhao. Enraged, he prepared to kill the exhausted Huo Yuhao.

"Brother Tianmeng, help..."

Before Huo Yuhao could finish, a terrifying soul power fluctuation froze everything around him.

The flying soul master's body was suspended in the air, unable to move.

"I am here. Who dares harm my successor?"
