Chapter 179 - The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

The man's heart pounded with alarm. Damn it! He forcefully twisted his body to the right to dodge. However, distracted by his female companion, his movement was half a beat too slow and he couldn't completely avoid the blow.

Swish!

A flash of sword light. An arm fell to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.

Not far away, the man stumbled to his feet. He saw a smooth cut on his left shoulder, and blood gushed from the severed limb, staining his white robes crimson.

He had to be given credit; this man was tough. Having an arm lopped off didn't even elicit a grunt from him.

However, his attention wasn't on that. He stared fixedly at Huo Yuhao, gritting his teeth, "You... aren't a Titled Douluo?"

After exchanging blows with Huo Yuhao, the man belatedly realized that although this person was very strong, he was definitely not a Titled Douluo. If it were a Titled Douluo, how could he have survived? A Titled Douluo could crush him like an ant.

Huo Yuhao was taken aback by the question, but quickly laughed. "When did I say I was a Titled Douluo?"

So, these two fools couldn't see through his cultivation and assumed he was a senior expert? How amusing. Huo Yuhao had been wondering, he was at least a Soul Emperor, so why didn't he show any intention to resist? Even though resistance might not have been effective, shouldn't he at least try?

"You..." The man was choked with anger, and felt bitterness in his heart. It seemed he was really going to die here today. He could feel that Huo Yuhao was very strong, and he wasn't his match. If he and his wife were still at their peak, they might have a chance to escape if they worked together, but now he had lost an arm, and his wife...

Huo Yuhao didn't waste any more words. He charged forward with his sword. The man, after losing an arm, was no match for Huo Yuhao after a few moves and was quickly slain.

After taking the man's Storage Soul Tool, Huo Yuhao ignored him and went to the woman. He had to admit that strong mental power was useful. If Huo Yuhao hadn't used a Soul Impact to severely injure the woman, causing her to faint, given the affection these two displayed, they probably would have put on a Sacrifice performance.

That's how it always went in novels. The villains chase the protagonist and his wife. In a desperate situation, the protagonist's wife sacrifices herself for the protagonist. The so-called wife sacrificing to the heavens, boundless power! The protagonist then receives the sacrifice, his strength greatly increases, and he crushes the villains.

Huo Yuhao didn't know if he was a villain, but this couple was clearly not the protagonist. They didn't have any great fortune or the ability to turn the tables in a desperate situation.

Huo Yuhao knew that in Douluo Continent, those soul beasts who were cultivating often liked to do a Sacrifice. How could he not be on guard?

He attached himself to the white-haired woman to observe her. Her main body was a snow-white large wolf. Huo Yuhao couldn't tell what breed it was, but it felt a bit like a Phantom Wolf. However, the Phantom Wolf was at the bottom of the soul beast food chain, not much stronger than the Soft Bone Rabbit. How could it have cultivated to a hundred thousand years?

But soon, Huo Yuhao shook his head with a smile. Who said that soul beasts with low bloodlines couldn't cultivate to a hundred thousand years? Didn't two hundred thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbits appear ten thousand years ago?

"Yuhao, how are you? Are you hurt?" Tang Ya walked over and asked with concern. In fact, she knew Huo Yuhao was perfectly fine; it was just a subconscious expression of care.

Tang Ya was undoubtedly shocked at this moment. Although she had heard about Huo Yuhao's achievements in the Soul Master Tournament at the Body Sect, and that he had the strength to defeat a Soul Emperor, hearing about it and seeing it were two different things. Moreover, Tang Ya felt that Huo Yuhao had definitely hidden his strength during the Soul Master Tournament.

Just now, she watched as a Soul Emperor and a Soul King had almost no ability to resist Huo Yuhao, being toyed with as if they were cats playing with a mouse.

If I had such strength, why would I worry about not being able to take revenge? Tang Ya's eyes held a strange light as she looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao didn't pay attention to Tang Ya, but instead looked up in a certain direction. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. And now, it seemed that someone wanted to be that oriole.

Gradually, in the direction Huo Yuhao was looking, three graceful figures, one large and two small, approached. Leading the way was a middle-aged beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties. Her pink, wavy long hair and exquisite face gave off a naturally alluring vibe. Her figure was hot and voluptuous, and her magnificent black dress confirmed her extraordinary status. The surging waves in front of her were enough to make any man glance twice.

But Huo Yuhao wasn't in the mood to appreciate these things. When the middle-aged beautiful woman appeared, his mood was extremely serious, because this woman's cultivation had already reached the Soul Douluo level.

And she gave Huo Yuhao a very dangerous feeling. This feeling came inexplicably, without any basis, it was a hunch, but to be safe, Huo Yuhao treated it as true. This beautiful woman was probably not just an ordinary Soul Douluo.

In contrast, the beautiful woman's gaze had been fixed on the white-haired woman lying unconscious on the ground since she appeared, her eyes filled with fervor.

"Ah? Why is it you?" At this moment, a slightly surprised voice rang out.

The one speaking was a girl beside the middle-aged beautiful woman. Huo Yuhao looked over and saw that the girl and the middle-aged woman looked extremely similar, with the same pink hair, as if she were a miniature version of the woman. The girl was probably fourteen or fifteen years old, full of youthful energy and a mischievous temperament, while the middle-aged woman was mature and sexy, still full of charm.

"Do we know each other?" Huo Yuhao looked at the girl curiously. The girl in front of him was very unfamiliar; he didn't remember ever having any interaction with her.

"Qiuqiu, do you know this young master?" The middle-aged woman beside the girl also asked curiously. She had sensed Huo Yuhao's battle with the transformed soul beast couple before, and she was also very curious about which force could cultivate such a talented young man.

"Mom, didn't I pass by Star Luo City a few days ago? So I watched a few matches. He's a member of the Body Sect Academy team." After saying that, the girl leaned close to the beautiful woman and whispered a few more words in her ear.

Then, the woman's calm expression suddenly changed from calm to shock.

After a while, the woman composed herself and smiled slightly at Huo Yuhao, "So you are a disciple of the esteemed Body Sect. I am Nan Shuishui from the Earth Dragon Gate, I've heard of you for a long time."

Nan Shuishui was very fortunate at this moment. If it weren't for her daughter revealing Huo Yuhao's identity, she would have almost attacked directly. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast, who wouldn't be tempted? Raising it, in a few years it would become her ninth soul ring.

But a hundred-thousand-year soul ring was good, but you had to be alive to take it. A disciple who couldn't be poisoned, a Soul Ancestor could beat a Soul Emperor. Such a monstrous genius would be strictly protected in any force, and how could he go out without guards?

The Body Sect was a huge organization, with many powerful individuals. It was easy for the young sect master to have a few Soul Douluo protecting him when he went out.

Fortunately, they hadn't attacked. If it were other forces, they might have considered the repercussions. But the people from the Body Sect... they were neither entirely good nor entirely evil, and they acted without restraint. Reputation didn't matter to them. They were only slightly better than evil soul masters.
