If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe it? A body shattered and destroyed, yet able to regenerate and be resurrected.
"Begonia Douluo?!"
Tai Nuo glanced around warily.
If you were to ask who in the world of Soul Masters possesses such terrifying abilities, the only one would be the Nine-Hearted Begonia, who is said to be so powerful that it's difficult for anyone to die.
Tai Nuo had never seen Haitang Douluo heal anyone. Neither had Supervisor Ao had ever seen Haitang Douluo.
Many in the Soul Master world are willing to owe Haitang Douluo a favor. The current Haitang Douluo is aloof and prefers calmness. Even Tai Nuo and Supervisor Ao, in their positions, are not yet qualified to meet Haitang Douluo.
Tai Nuo, connecting the dots with Tuoba Yan's identity, was certain that Haitang Douluo was the one saving Tuoba Yan. A deep sense of apprehension crossed his face.
"That's insane."
Supervisor Ao noticed something amiss and said, "It wasn't Begonia Douluo who made the move. She never leaves her courtyard. This kid's first soul skill has the ability to resurrect."
The power of the Horse Talisman is not resurrection. It is to instantly remove abnormal conditions from the body, including the fragmentation of limbs.
This is not the same as immortality.
Immortality is the power of the Dog Talisman.
Unless you kill Tuoba Yan's head, like fighting a zombie, and focus solely on Tuoba Yan's head, as long as Tuoba Yan can still activate the horse talisman, then Tuoba Yan can clear away all the abnormal conditions that his body has suffered, including the fragmentation of half of his body.
That's very difficult to do.
Even if a person's head is cut off, they will retain consciousness for a few seconds afterward.
There was once a madman who, in order to conduct this experiment, had someone cut off his head. He had agreed beforehand that if he blinked, it would prove that he was conscious after being beheaded.
This soul skill has three weaknesses.
As mentioned above, the first point is to instantly cause Tuoba Yan's brain death, preventing him from activating his first soul skill, thus making it impossible for Tuoba Yan to be resurrected.
The second weakness is that he will exhaust Tuoba Yan's soul power. Without soul power, he will be unable to use soul skills and horse talismans.
The third method was even simpler: steal Tuoba Yan's horse talisman.
All twelve talismans of the Holy Lord's Martial Soul can leave the body.
Each of the twelve talismans possesses powerful abilities. But the more powerful something is, the more fatal its weaknesses become.
As long as Tuoba Yan's martial spirit is attached to him, anyone can steal his talisman.
To date, only Tuoba Yan's grandfather, Tuoba Xi, knows the secret of how talismans can leave the body to provide assistance.
Unaware of the secrets of the talisman, Manager Aude mistakenly interpreted Tuoba Yan's horse talisman as a resurrection.
"Resurrection requires a lot of soul power. Let's see how many times you can resurrect!"
As he spoke, the fifth spirit ring beneath Manager Aude's feet lit up.
"Demon King Vine - Parasitic!"
"Fifth Soul Skill: Thousand Piercing Heart!"
An anomaly occurred.
In the streets and alleys, on the eaves and floor tiles, countless Ghost King Vines grew in sync with the rhythm of the Soul Rings of the Ao Master.
Both the Ghost Vine and the Ghost King Vine possess parasitic abilities. Moreover, the Ghost King Vine's parasitic ability is far more terrifying than that of the Ghost Vine.
The Ghost King Vine, which had just been defeated by Tuoba Yan with two soul-inflicting skills, once again formed, blotting out the sky and blocking out the sun.
This time is different from the last time.
All the Ghost King Vines in this area transformed into long, sharp thorns, and with a wave of Manager Aude's hand, they all flew towards Tuoba Yan. The magnificent scene had a sense of ten thousand swords returning to their origin.
"You have no chance!"
The fifth spirit ring beneath Tuoba Yan's feet lit up.
"Fifth Soul Skill - Dragon's Roar!"
Tuoba Yan opened his mouth and roared.
The purplish-black soul power transformed into pink, symbolizing the spiritual element. A giant pink dragon materialized and charged towards Supervisor Ao at incredible speed, almost in the blink of an eye.
When the dragon crashed into Supervisor Ao, Supervisor Ao's body trembled, and his eyes became vacant. Blood flowed from his seven orifices.
Meanwhile, the Thousand Thorns controlled by the Director of the Orpheus remained suspended in mid-air.
"You actually hurt me!" Manager Aude shouted angrily.
For a dignified six-ring Soul Emperor to be severely injured by a four-ring Soul Master, and almost killed by the latter's mental attack, was a great humiliation for Manager Aude.
The next second, a purplish-black figure appeared in front of Manager Aude as if by teleportation.
Before Manager Aude could react, Tuoba Yan's fist had already landed on his chest.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
With a series of "bangs," two bursts of hidden force erupted simultaneously, and Manager Aude was like a cannonball, punched from the middle of the street to the end of the alley.
Manager Aude looked up at the sky, trying to stand up from the ground, but one foot landed on his chest.
"Wow!"
Manager Aude's body arched upwards in pain, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Supervisor Ao is dead.
He died with his eyes wide open, never able to rest in peace. He never imagined that his strategy of waiting in comfort and launching an attack after Tuoba Yan attended the Genius Exchange Conference, coupled with the assassination attempt, would cost him his own life.
After dealing with Supervisor Ao, Tuoba Yan turned around and looked behind him.
There was no sign of Tai Nuo behind him.
When Manager Aude used his fifth soul skill and was severely injured by Tuoba Yan's fourth soul skill, Tai Nuo realized that the situation had changed and fled.
With his eyes closed, Tuoba Yan released the spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm, and everything around him was imprinted into his consciousness.
Under the night sky, Tai Nuo leaped between houses, running wildly toward the Power Clan.
Even when fleeing at full speed, the power-type Tai Nuo is not slow at all. Calculating the distance, if Tuoba Yan were to give chase, Tai Nuo would surely be able to escape back to the Power Clan.
The Power Clan boasts Hercules Tai Tan, a powerful eight-ring Soul Douluo. If he were to fight desperately, his combat strength could rival that of an ordinary Title Douluo.
After a moment's thought, Tuoba Yan thought to himself, "Alright, I'll spare your life for now."
If Tai Tan is pushed too far, Tuoba Yan will be no match for him.
Perhaps Tai Nuo dared not kill Tuoba Yan because of Tuoba Yan's identity, but Tuoba Yan was certain that with Tai Tan present, he could not kill Tai Nuo.
Tuoba Yan squatted down next to Manager Aude's corpse, fumbled around for a while, and removed the other party's storage soul tool.
The owner of the storage soul tool is dead, and it emits a faint energy fluctuation.
When Tuoba Yan got up to leave, he suddenly paused for a moment.
He turned and scanned his surroundings.
"No, something's not right!"
Tuoba Yan suddenly realized that he was in Tiandou City.
Tiandou City is the capital of the Tiandou Empire, right under the emperor's feet. Within a certain area surrounding the imperial palace, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach.
The battle took place on a street close to the palace.
However, after such a long time, no patrolling soldiers have arrived here.
This is clearly abnormal.
"Is she going to harm me too?"
The image of Xue Qinghe appeared in Tuoba Yan's mind.
Tonight's banquet was hosted by Xue Qinghe. During the banquet, Xue Qinghe took the initiative to ask Tuoba Yan to be the first to defend the arena, making it difficult for Xue Qinghe to clear himself of suspicion that he had assassinated Tuoba Yan.
"No, she's my cousin, Qian Renxue!"
Tuoba Yan wasn't stupid. He couldn't find a reason for Qian Renxue to rely on the Li clan and Yuexuan to kill him.
At this moment, Tuoba Yan was unaware that Xue Qinghe was in deep trouble.
