Turning a corner, Tang San suddenly saw two blue-haired figures walking toward him from the street ahead.
In the very first instant, Tang San recognized the two as Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er.
Back at the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament, the Shrek Team had been utterly crushed, without the slightest ability to fight back, by the joint forces of the Blazing Academy team led by Mu Yang and the Sky Water Academy team led by Shui Bing'er. Tang San had a very deep impression of Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er.
How did they also come to the Slaughter City?
Tang San couldn't help but think to himself.
There was no doubt that, in Tang San's eyes, Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er, like himself, were different from those Fallen—both had come to the Slaughter City to temper themselves.
Only, what Tang San didn't know was that their appearance in the Slaughter City was not a first-time arrival at all, but rather for the purpose of undertaking a God Trial.
Since Tang San had seen Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er, Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er, who weren't blind, naturally noticed Tang San as well.
Only, Shui Bing'er didn't pay him any mind, merely assuming that the youthful-looking Tang San, with little killing intent about him, was just like they themselves had once been—an ordinary trial-taker here to temper himself and she had no idea that this blue-haired figure before her was Tang San.
But Mu Yang was different. Although Tang San's appearance had changed greatly from when he had last seen him, he still recognized at once that this was Tang San after the awakening of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
After a brief daze, Mu Yang's expression grew serious, releasing his spiritual power to sense the surrounding situation.
From what he knew, during Tang San's training journey in the Slaughter City, Tang Hao had been paying attention. Most likely, this guy had been hiding in secret all along, protecting his precious son from the shadows.
After all, Tang Hao had pinned all his hopes for revenge on Tang San, who had been born with full innate spirit power and possessed twin martial souls, so there was no way he'd let anything happen to Tang San.
As expected, Mu Yang sensed Tang Hao's aura several hundred meters away.
Do it? Or not do it? … Do it!
After thinking for a moment, Mu Yang gritted his teeth and sent a voice transmission to Shui Bing'er: Bing'er, Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er was momentarily stunned, her expression showing clear surprise.
But surprise was one thing—once she came back to her senses, Shui Bing'er immediately activated her Ice Phoenix martial soul possession. The Spirit Gold Battle Armor manifested, and a brilliant ice-blue radiance began to shine from her body.
Although she didn't understand why Mu Yang wanted to suddenly unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, since Mu Yang had arranged it this way, he must have had his reasons, and now was not the time to ask.
In the next instant, Mu Yang, also possessed by his Iceflame Holy Shadow martial soul and clad in Spirit Gold Battle Armor, ignited with a layer of illusory ice-blue flames.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow!"
Brilliant ice-blue radiance erupted. The two purple, four black, and three red soul rings—nine in total—of the Ice Phoenix martial soul and the Iceflame Holy Shadow martial soul merged together. Immediately, the two figures vanished, replaced by a single long-haired ice-blue figure.
With the Killing God Domain, the special environment of the Slaughter City could no longer restrict the appearance of soul rings while under martial soul possession.
Of course, it wasn't just the Killing God Domain that could remove this restriction—Mu Yang's Iceflame Domain could as well.
Thanks to his domain skill Flawless Purging Flame, which could ignore suppression from other domains and nullify their effects, even without the Killing God Domain, Mu Yang could still release soul rings and use soul skills within the Slaughter City.
Seeing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill being unleashed by Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er ahead on the street, Tang San couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What was going on here?
Shui Bing'er, who was about the same age as him, had already become a seven-ring Soul Sage, and her seventh soul ring was even a hundred-thousand-year ring?
And Mu Yang, like himself, was actually a twin martial soul user, and his second martial soul even had two hundred-thousand-year soul rings attached?
Not only that, the two of them both possessed hundred-thousand-year soul rings and could even launch a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? This was just absurd!
Hmm, here's the question—who exactly were they targeting by releasing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill right now? Surely they weren't just showing off on purpose?
With this thought, Tang San couldn't help but turn his head to look back.
From beginning to end, Tang San never thought that their target was him.
After all, he was just a small five-ring Spirit King. Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Even if it wasn't the currently much stronger Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er, but the ones from the time of the Spirit Master Tournament, he still wouldn't have had absolute confidence to deal with them.
Moreover, after awakening his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, his appearance and spirit power aura had undergone a complete transformation. In their eyes, he was a total stranger.
Uh~ wait a second—wasn't the Slaughter City supposed to prohibit the use of spirit skills, and even prevent spirit rings from appearing after martial soul possession or manifestation?
Why was it that Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er could still show their spirit rings when releasing their martial souls?
Killing God Domain!!!
Suddenly, Tang San's pupils shrank sharply as he realized the key point.
If he remembered correctly, his father had once said that the environment of the Slaughter City was unique. Only by achieving a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena, passing through the Hell Road, and obtaining the Killing God Domain could one use spirit abilities within the Slaughter City, where spirit abilities were otherwise restricted.
In other words, Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er were already two of the current Killing Gods?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Tang San felt the powerful aura radiating from that ice-blue figure in front. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, then quietly shifted his body to the side of the street. While making way, he unobtrusively began retreating backward.
Judging by this atmosphere, a great battle was about to break out. Although he didn't know who their opponent was, it was definitely a formidable figure. With his small build, he had no intention of getting involved—lest he become part of the spectacle.
However, just as Tang San made his move, he suddenly felt a powerful spiritual force surge into his sea of consciousness.
Faced with Mu Yang's soul-controlling secret art, even though Tang San's spiritual power far surpassed that of soul masters of the same level, he had absolutely no power to resist.
In an instant, Tang San's consciousness was completely taken over by Mu Yang.
As the saying goes, "A living Tang Buddha is not necessarily a good Tang Buddha, but a dead Tang San is definitely a good Tang San." Feeling that his wings were now fully grown, Mu Yang decided to carry out the plan he had failed to execute during the Soul Master Tournament years ago.
After all, he had seized the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor spirit bone, secretly orchestrated a scheme to kill through another's hand, and more recently exposed Xiao Wu. The enmity between him and Tang San was already irreconcilable.
If Tang San ever learned of his deeds, Mu Yang could foresee that, in terms of hatred, he might already rank above Spirit Hall itself.
Unlike Bibi Dong, Mu Yang was not the type to let hatred fester. Since the grudge was already set in stone, he would naturally act quickly and decisively to avoid future troubles.
Thinking it over, Mu Yang did not immediately annihilate Tang San's soul. Instead, he activated his body movement supreme technique—Transcendent Step to Immortality. His figure flickered, appearing right beside Tang San.
Then, an ice-blue radiance bloomed. The ice-flame wings behind him unfurled, and in his Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow form, Mu Yang grabbed Tang San with one hand. With a beat of his twin wings, he soared at extreme speed toward the exit of the Slaughter City.
The hatred of a son's death was irreconcilable. If he were to kill Tang San right here, a battle with Tang Hao would be inevitable.
Tang Hao was no weakling. Once he unleashed the Martial Soul Ture Body and detonated all nine rings, few in the soul master world could be his match.
If the battlefield were set inside the Slaughter City, the place would likely be reduced to ruins afterward.
As the inheritor of the Asura God's position, Mu Yang had long considered the Slaughter City his private domain. To minimize losses, it was better to move the battle to the outside world.
"Thieving cur, how dare you! Stop right there!"
When Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er activated their Martial Spirit Fusion Technique: Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow, Tang Hao had already sensed the sudden rise of an extremely powerful soul power aura in the distance. Seeing this unknown powerhouse daring to abduct his son, he immediately roared in fury.
