Chapter 63: The Soul Bone in Hand

Chapter 63: The Soul Bone in Hand

In just a few moments, the five of them left the small town and arrived at an open space. Only then did Kong stop walking.

"I have no grievances with you two in the past or present, and I shouldn't be inviting you in this manner."

At this point, Kong paused, looking at Shi Nian before continuing, "Shi Nian, I want to borrow something from you."

Flender and Shi Nian were both taken aback. The former looked at the latter in confusion—what could Shi Nian possibly have that would interest the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

Saying he wanted to borrow something was just a polite way of saying he intended to take it without returning.

Just as Shi Nian was about to say something, a realization seemed to strike him. His pupils contracted, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Thinking back to what Kong had said earlier, coupled with his unstoppable smile, if Shi Nian still didn't understand what the other party wanted, he wouldn't deserve to have survived in the Douluo Continent for decades.

Instinctively, Shi Nian took three steps back, his back drenched in sweat.

If he hadn't absorbed that item, he would have handed it over without hesitation to save his life.

However, he had already absorbed it!

It was a head soul bone. Once removed, Shi Nian would undoubtedly die! There was no question about it.

Yu Yuanshen and Yu Longwu glanced at Kong, then at Shi Nian, and suddenly understood everything!

Given Shi Nian's reaction, there could be no other explanation than a soul bone. For anything else, Kong wouldn't have acted, and Shi Nian wouldn't have looked like he was facing life or death.

A soul bone!

How Kong discovered Shi Nian had a soul bone wasn't important at all!

Flender was completely stunned, finally understanding the situation.

He was also very anxious at this point. If they intended to rob... cough, take... no, borrow Shi Nian's soul bone, why did they bring Flender along?

If he hadn't come, he wouldn't have known anything. But now that he was here, he would surely be killed to silence him.

Flender couldn't help but think this way. Soul bones, also known as Blood River Treasures, could even spark wars between small nations if they were of ten thousand-year quality. That's how the term Blood River Treasures came about.

For a great clan like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, seizing a soul bone was quite normal. As for maintaining their reputation, as long as no one knew or the ones who knew were all dead...

Sure enough, the expressions of the two Soul Douluo eyeing him and Shi Nian had changed. Their killing intent was almost palpable. It was clear how they felt at that moment!

Flender could swear that if Kong gave the order, these two old men would act immediately.

After a long while, Shi Nian seemed to resign himself to his fate. The main target was him, and Flender might escape, but he definitely couldn't.

What else could he do but accept his fate? If there were only one Soul Douluo, he might have fought, but there were two!

And judging by their aura, they weren't just at the entry level of the Soul Douluo stage.

"Since obtaining this treasure, I've never used it. How did you know?" Shi Nian asked unwillingly. He was truly unwilling!

Only his personal disciples knew about this, but they had no reason to betray him. After his death, wouldn't this soul bone go to them?

If they cooperated with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they would gain nothing and might even be killed. His disciples couldn't be that foolish.

"There are no walls without cracks in this world," Kong said with a smile.

He was a transmigrator. Was it difficult for him to know such things?

Even if he told Shi Nian the truth, would he believe it?

Shi Nian: "..."

Silence fell once more. Few people can remain calm when facing death.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, Shi Nian didn't want to die—he still had an unfinished plan!

"Ah~"

With a silent sigh, Shi Nian said, "I am willing to sever my own heart vein. There's no need for the two of you to do it. But I have a request, and I hope the young master can grant it!"

"Speak!"

Kong nodded, already guessing what Shi Nian was about to say—probably something about sparing his disciples.

Sure enough, Shi Nian said, "I ask the young master to spare my disciples. They are innocent and pose no threat to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Alright, I agree."

After a brief consideration, Kong nodded. The fate of those seven was already sealed; he didn't need to take further action...

"Thank you..."

Shi Nian, true to his word, severed his own heart vein immediately after speaking. As his heart vein broke, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his once sharp, hawk-like eyes dimming instantly before he fell.

Seeing this, Kong took out a jade bottle and poured some of the distinctly red and blue liquid onto Shi Nian. This was water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—something even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't withstand in the original story.

Watching this, Flender felt a chill run down his spine, causing him to gasp. Kong, who appeared so poised and talented, was shockingly adept at such ruthless actions!

Yu Yuanshen and Yu Longwu were also stunned by the sight of the Ice and Fire Well water—this substance was incredibly potent!

In no time, all that remained was a head soul bone shimmering with seven colors; as for Shi Nian, he had completely vanished.

With a gesture, Kong used his soul power to "lift" the head soul bone from the ground and let it gently fall into his hand.

Without a word, he placed the soul bone into his storage soul guide and then turned his gaze to the trembling Flender.

By now, Ye Zhiqiu and Tang San should have finished their fight, right?

He had brought Flender along merely to give Ye Zhiqiu a reason to teach Dai Mubai and the others a lesson.

Currently, Tang San and Xiao Wu were not in any mortal danger because Tang Hao was watching over them. While beating Tang San was one thing, if Ye Zhiqiu truly harbored lethal intent, he would be the one to die in the end!

With this thought, Kong glanced at Flender again, pondering a reason to let him go.

At this moment, Flender spoke up, "I, Flender, swear on my martial soul that I will never reveal today's events!"

"Oh, and I am a close friend, a life-and-death brother, of Yu Xiaogang, the son of your clan leader!"

Hearing this, Yu Yuanshen and Yu Longwu's faces darkened, nearly attacking Flender on the spot. It was evident how unwelcome Yu Xiaogang was in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Flender, realizing his mistake, remembered that Yu Xiaogang had been expelled from the clan and knew some of the reasons why.

Desperate to save his life, Flender quickly changed his approach, "I am the sworn brother of Liu Erlong. You three must know who Liu Erlong is, right?"

Of course, the three knew who Liu Erlong was—Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, who had a complicated relationship with Yu Xiaogang...
