Chapter 62: The Initial Might of a Spiritual Thought Master! Dai Yueheng Vomits Blood Three Times!

Assassination?
Targeted at himself?
Or at Huo Yuhao?
Yet now, the two of them were as one; no matter what, he would fight shoulder to shoulder with Huo Yuhao.
Wang Dong gripped Huo Yuhao's hand back, accelerating the formation of the Haodong Power.
"Which tactic should we use?"
"The second soul fusion skill. I'll hold them off with spiritual telekinesis first."
"Alright!"
Behind Wang Dong, the heavy Clear Sky Hammer martial soul rose, intertwining and merging with Huo Yuhao's vertical-pupil Spirit Eye.
The Haodong Power poured in endlessly.
An emerald crown manifested above Huo Yuhao's head as he activated his soul bone skill, Spiritual Storage, retrieving spiritual telekinesis and channeling half of it into the soul fusion skill.
The rest was used to control seven ice-blue short blades, activating them with a fraction of the Haodong Power until sharp, bitter frost condensed along their edges.
A fifth-tier melee soul tool: Frost Demon Blade!
They had just bought it at the Treasure Appreciation Fair, never expecting to use it so soon.
Realizing the situation turning unfavorable, the six ambushers closed in swiftly at top speed.
After summoning their martial souls, their soul rings lit up one after another: five of them possessed five rings, while one had six rings—all possessing the optimal ring combinations.
Three of them even possessed flight soul skills, sealing off the sky to prevent any escape.
Together with the other three, they closed in for a silent, deadly encirclement.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—!"
The seven Frost Demon Blades moved with blinding speed, dragging afterimages as they hurtled in six different directions, with two of them targeting the six-ringed Soul Emperor.
Were they actually choosing to meet force with force on the spot?
The six-ringed Soul Emperor sneered, his soul power materializing into a giant claw that swatted the Frost Demon Blades away from a distance—after all, they were merely fifth-tier melee soul tools, peaking at the level of a fiftieth-rank master at best.
And indeed, things played out just as he thought. The Frost Demon Blades were easily batted aside, as though they were just a feint without any real strength behind them.
"Puff! Puff!"
Two consecutive sounds of blades piercing flesh rang out. One could see the Frost Demon Blades embedded straight between the brows of two fifth-ringed Soul Kings, frost freezing over the better part of their skulls while perfectly preserving their bewildered and confused expressions.
Self-created soul skill: Soul-Upside-Down!
Even a severely weakened Mu En, when caught unprepared, would be hard-controlled for a full second.
Huo Yuhao, whose strength had currently skyrocketed, was able to output both of their powers at full capacity simultaneously while exerting his utmost focus to control the piercing Frost Demon Blades.
The hard-controlled fifth-ringed Soul Kings had no defenses whatsoever, resulting in an instant headshot.
This was the spiritual telekinesis master's first battle in this otherworldly realm, achieving a double kill across four soul ring ranks!
The remaining three fifth-ringed Soul Kings felt a chill seep into their hands and feet, yet instead of retreating, their soul rings flashed as they launched a suicidal charge.
The six-ringed Soul Emperor even unleashed his sixth soul skill, drawing a massive sabre from behind him and activating it to launch his most powerful strike with an aura of bone-chilling murderous intent.

It was already too late to recall the Frost Demon Blades, but fortunately, they still had...
"Don't be afraid! I'm coming!"
A furious roar echoed.
Through the Spiritual Detection, Dai Yueheng was seen hurtling toward them, activating his third and fourth soul skills back-to-back from hundreds of meters away, transforming into a tiger-man as his speed surged to the limit.
This caused the pupils of both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to constrict!
Almost instantly, they jumped to the conclusion that this group of assassins had most likely been sent by Dai Yueheng. Seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly explode into action and kill two people, Dai Yueheng could no longer sit still and was preparing to take matters into his own hands.
"Do it!"
The martial soul behind the two of them merged into an illusory figure, with only their eyes shining dazzlingly.
Golden light illuminated the night, and a bizarre vertical eye opened above the eyes, upon which a faint, brilliant golden giant hammer appeared, shattering into countless miniature hammer-shaped points of light that rippled outward.
Wherever the light passed, the air actually showed signs of cracking. When it enveloped the four encircling foes, even the strongest six-ringed Soul Emperor felt as though his brain had been struck by a heavy hammer, plunging into a blank void as blood seeped from his seven facial orifices in a terrifying sight.
Soul fusion skill: Truth in the Void · Mind Storm!
It converted the supreme attack of the Clear Sky Hammer into a soul impact, causing the opponent's memories to continuously batter their mind, inflicting destruction while simultaneously disrupting the adversary's sanity.
This was the prime moment to launch a counterattack.
Yet without a moment's hesitation, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao turned and bolted.
——After all, there was still a fully powered Dai Yueheng in the distance!
Huo Yuhao did not forget to channel his spiritual telekinesis, yanking back the Frost Demon Blades embedded between the brows of the two fifth-ringed Soul Kings and firing them like bullets toward the six-ringed Soul Emperor and the remaining fifth-ringed Soul King.
"Puff!"
The fifth-ringed Soul King was headshot on the spot.
"Clang!"
The ring on the six-ringed Soul Emperor's fingertip lit up, transforming into a shield of light that blocked the Frost Demon Blade, sending ripples outward that firmly adsorbed the blade in place.
Huo Yuhao did not linger to fight; he unleashed his spiritual telekinesis to its absolute limit and fled at full speed.
Wang Dong, unaware of the Titled Douluo guards nearby, even pulled out an object and fired it a hundred meters high into the air, where it exploded into fragments of fine, golden-red light.
——This was the distress signal meant for inner court disciples; as a closed-door disciple of Mu En, he naturally possessed one as well.
Dai Yueheng, who had been charging forward, slowly came to a halt, a look of confusion and astonishment etched across his tiger-like face.
Especially upon seeing that dazed six-ringed Soul Emperor, his pupils shrank violently!
Before he could react—
One terrifying aura after another descended upon the scene, and every single one of them was a Titled Douluo!!!
The still-dazed six-ringed Soul Emperor and two fifth-ringed Soul Kings were instantly suppressed to the ground, prone and unable to move.
Gong Changlong frowned as he looked at Dai Yueheng.
"One Soul Emperor and five Soul Kings, and you actually fired a distress signal?"
Which inner court disciple of Shrek didn't routinely take on three opponents of the same rank?
Have you no shame at all!

Dai Yueheng: "......"
The good news was: he hadn't been the one to launch this distress signal.
The bad news was: the distress signal had been triggered because of him!
This......
"It's a misunderstanding." Dai Yueheng deactivated his soul skill and explained, "I was merely waiting here for Huo Yuhao, wanting to......"
"Wanting to intercept and kill us, right?" Wang Dong said coldly. "Your Excellencies, I was the one who sent out the distress signal. An inner court Soul Emperor plus six assassins—you really think highly of the two of us!"
The next instant—
A terrifying pressure enveloped Dai Yueheng, and every single Titled Douluo who knew the inside story was filled with uncontainable fury!
One of these two youths was the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, while the other was the successor chosen by a demigod.
If anything were to happen to either of them at Shrek Academy, it would trigger a massive earthquake.
Dai Yueheng, you truly have the nerve, trying to wipe out both of them at once?
"Very well, very well, very well!" Xian Lin'er laughed out of extreme anger. "So this is the kind of disciple cultivated by your Martial Soul Branch? You only train your soul power and leave your brains behind, is that it?"
"Indeed, quite bold and daring, carrying out an assassination right under the eyes of all of us here," Qian Duoduo echoed.
Cai Mei'er, serving as the vice dean of the Martial Soul Branch, only felt a splitting headache at this moment.
Yet she still clung to a shred of hope—Dai Yueheng hadn't seemed like a fool in the past; perhaps this was all just a coincidence?
"We've found out."
Lin Huiqun pinched the head of the dazed six-ringed Soul Emperor, speaking in a deep voice—
"These six individuals are death-knights of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Earlier today, they received orders to intercept and assassinate Huo Yuhao on his return from the Treasure Appreciation Fair."
"Dai Yueheng, you've got some nerve!"
"What, you sent death-knights and weren't at ease, so you had to come and do it yourself?"
Suppressed on the ground, Dai Yueheng inwardly cried out that disaster had struck!
It really was......
Yet he had never given any order for an assassination!
Even after being humiliated twice, what he had wanted was to mend relations as much as possible.
——Given Huo Yuhao's current background, had he lost his mind to send assassins after him?
Suddenly!
Yet these truly were the Duke's Mansion's death-knights, and he indeed possessed the authority to command them......
No!
There was still one more person!
