Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 175 The Chain Reaction After the Duchess's Death

"Stop shouting. No one will come to save you even if you shout until you're hoarse. After all, I've already activated the soundproof barrier, which covers the entire house."

"Otherwise, with all that banging over there, why isn't anyone coming over to ask what's going on?" Huo Yuhao said, pointing to Zhang Tieshan, who was being beaten by Jing Hongchen not far away.

Although Zhang Tieshan was a Soul Douluo, the gap between an ordinary Soul Douluo and a Mingde Hall Master like Jing Hongchen was undoubtedly huge. Generally speaking, those who can fight people of higher levels are all exceptionally talented, and Zhang Tieshan was clearly not among those exceptionally talented.

Of course, to prevent the battle from having too much of an impact, Jing Hongchen also used a defensive soul guide shield. He didn't use this soul guide to defend himself or avoid being hurt.

He simply wanted to drag Zhang Tieshan into it as well, and then minimize the impact of the fight on the outside world as much as possible.

After all, killing someone is one thing, but getting caught is another. If the news gets out immediately, the powerful figures of Star Luo City will probably have to mobilize.

Jing Hongchen was not ready to fight the Star Luo Empire right now. In his opinion, the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools would need to be more advanced before they could take action against the Star Luo Empire.

The Duchess stared intently at Huo Yuhao, her heart heavy. She had realized the dire situation they were in, and instinctively asked, "Huo Yuhao, do you really want to kill me?"

"You're even answering questions first now. That's right, I really am going to kill you." Huo Yuhao didn't hide his thoughts; the Duchess was already a sitting duck.

The Duchess tried to save herself: "I come from the Star Luo royal family. You can't kill me, or the Star Luo royal family won't let you go. If you release me, I have a lot of materials that Soul Masters are interested in. You can have all of those materials."

As the daughter of the Star Luo Emperor and the Duchess of the White Tiger, she actually possessed a large number of storage soul tools. After all, even the declining Tang Sect could create a pirated version of "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon," so she could naturally obtain a large number of storage soul tools with ease.

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Even after I kill you, those things will still be mine. Alright, let's get going."

Behind Huo Yuhao, the Gate of the Dead opened wide, and a cold, chilling aura immediately wafted out. Accompanied by a dragon's roar, a dragon soul, its entire body white and radiating a cold aura, emerged from the gate.

"Wait! You can't do this! I promise you, as long as you let me go, I will never lay a hand on you again." The Duchess was somewhat terrified; she sensed an extremely powerful aura emanating from the dragon soul.

Huo Yuhao can actually control the dragon soul, doesn't that mean the other party is an evil soul master? He's hiding it so well, an evil soul master and others actually won the Soul Battle Tournament.

Thinking of this, the Duchess felt a little scared. After all, evil spirit masters were notoriously cruel and liked to torture people. If she, as an "enemy," fell into Huo Yuhao's hands, how could she possibly have a good ending?

Of course, her pleas for mercy were only to save her life. She had already decided that if Huo Yuhao agreed to her request, she would definitely gather her strength and find a way to take revenge. Ideally, she would kill Huo Yuhao directly. After all, this was the first time she had been in such a dangerous situation in all her years of life.

This particularly displeased the Duchess.

Huo Yuhao had no time to listen to the Duchess's nonsense. He sensed that she was stalling for time, so he said directly, "Attack."

The next moment, the Water Dragon King's dragon soul surged and rushed directly towards the Duchess. The Duchess looked at the Water Dragon King's dragon soul with an extremely ugly expression. Her soul rings were fluctuating. She was preparing to take the attack head-on and then immediately deal with Huo Yuhao.

The Water Dragon King's soul let out a long roar, and water elemental power condensed beside him, turning into ice. A large number of ice swords attacked the Duchess. The Duchess only managed to cut some of the ice swords with her sword, but the subsequent onslaught of more ice swords pierced her instantly.

A large amount of blood flowed from the Duchess's body, and a strong stench of blood filled the air. The Duchess's body collapsed to the ground with a thud, and even in death, her face remained etched with terror.

Huo Yuhao continued chanting the incantation, and some white flames flew from his fingertips and landed on the Duchess. He was dissolving the Duchess's remaining soul, and he did not want the Duchess to have any chance of being resurrected.

"Finally, I've completed my revenge against the Duchess." Huo Yuhao looked at the Duchess's remaining corpse, let out a long breath, and then strode forward to begin looting the Duchess's storage soul tool.

In fact, storage soul tools are very sturdy and difficult to damage, so Huo Yuhao was still able to acquire a batch of items.

"Hmm, it's mostly rare metals, gold soul coins, and gold soul coin cards, as well as some soul tools and a bunch of clothes that aren't very valuable." He took some time to take inventory, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the contents of these storage soul tools are worth at least two billion gold soul coins. As the Duchess, she can manage a portion of the Duchess's money, and since she is the daughter of the Star Luo Emperor, she can naturally also receive a sum of money from the royal family.

Jing Hongchen had already killed Zhang Tieshan. He walked over to Huo Yuhao and asked, "Yuhao, is your revenge over?"

As some memories of the original owner surfaced in Huo Yuhao's mind, he immediately said, "No. Some wicked servants also bullied me and my mother."

“Alright, then we will continue to avenge you,” Jing Hongchen said.

The two then left the house and began searching for the evil servants who had bullied Huo Yun'er and her son. They killed these servants one by one, while the servants who had not harmed Huo Yun'er and her son were left to live.

After the revenge was over, Huo Yuhao led everyone away.

Some of the surviving servants only saw ghosts floating around the black-robed men, and then they quickly went to find Dai Hao and the Xingluo royal family to report that the Duchess had been killed.

"What! The lady died in the Duke's mansion?" Dai Hao was somewhat taken aback, his expression immediately turning grim. He looked at a group of servants who had just arrived and asked, "Are you sure this news is true?"

Dai Hao found it hard to believe; the news seemed too fake.

After all, the defenses of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion were not weak. In the Star Luo Empire, the White Tiger Duke's lineage was considered a noble family second only to the Star Luo royal family, since the Dai family had once been a royal family.

Furthermore, he knew very well that his legitimate wife was the daughter of the Star Luo Emperor. In the Star Luo Empire, who would dare to have designs on the Star Luo Emperor's daughter?

“It’s absolutely true.” A young servant who had just arrived from the White Tiger Duke’s mansion knelt on the ground, his expression filled with grief: “Madam has really been killed! Those people who control ghosts are definitely evil spirit masters!”

Of course, although his face showed sadness, the young servants believed that the Duchess's death was a good thing, as she had always been unpopular.

Dai Hao's expression grew increasingly grim. His eyes reddened, and tears welled up. He instinctively called to his personal guards, "Come with me back to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion immediately. These evil soul masters seem to be getting a little too arrogant!"
