Huo Yuhao's actions instantly enraged the other four Titled Douluo from the Body Sect. The four exchanged a glance and abandoned their opponents, flashing towards Huo Yuhao.
The influence of Huo Yuhao's terrifying Half-Step God King spiritual power on the Titled Douluo was relatively less significant. They frantically resisted the effect of Sovereignty and unleashed killing moves from the start, determined to kill him before they became his puppets.
"Flee quickly! You are no match for him!" Golden Body Douluo hastily shouted at the four. In the past, he might have thought a Soul Emperor could never be a match for a Titled Douluo, but the pressure Huo Yuhao exerted on him was simply too immense. He could find no way to win.
"Body martial souls. This type of martial soul is indeed something I cannot currently restrain." Huo Yuhao revealed a thoughtful expression, ignoring the four attacking Titled Douluo.
Arrogant! The four Titled Douluo were overjoyed. No matter how outstanding Huo Yuhao's abilities were, he was ultimately a human and could absolutely not block their attacks.
But in the next moment, an extremely cold aura erupted from Huo Yuhao's body. The long-unseen Ice Empress Blade landed in his hand, and the Snow Dance Ultimate Ice Domain, with him at its center, instantly spread across the entire sky.
Huo Yuhao's body suddenly underwent a strange transformation. A jade-green pillar of light the thickness of an arm shot out from the blade in his hand. And in the instant this green light erupted, the four Titled Douluo could also clearly see that all the bones in Huo Yuhao's upper body, including his spine, sternum, and wing bones, were emitting an intense jade-green light.
It was precisely the innate soul skill of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Wing Bone, the Wrath of the Ice Empress.
The current Huo Yuhao could barely unleash the power of this skill. If it were the Ice Empress in her peak state back then, even a Titled Douluo facing this strike would be instantly frozen. Without the Ice Empress to unseal them, they would be turned into ice sculptures forever.
The four Titled Douluo only felt their entire bodies freeze stiff. They couldn't even circulate their soul power normally, and their flesh and blood seemed to have solidified as they fell straight down.
Clang!
Their bodies fell from a great height. The power of the Wrath of the Ice Empress that Huo Yuhao had released was just enough to freeze their physical bodies, so when these four people hit the ground, they were like eggs smashing against a stone, shattering into pieces all over the floor.
"Ahhhhh—" Golden Body Douluo's eyes nearly split from their sockets when he saw this scene. One must know that Titled Douluo with body martial souls were already extremely difficult to cultivate. For four of them to be slaughtered by Huo Yuhao in an instant, how could he possibly explain this to Du Busi when he returned?
"What are you yelling for?" Huo Yuhao kicked him in the face again, sending the famous Golden Body Douluo of the continent staggering. In front of tens of thousands of people, the Golden Body Douluo felt so ashamed he could die.
"Huo Yuhao, you dare to harm Lord Golden Body! The Heavenly Soul Empire will never let you go!" The three Titled Douluo who served the imperial family pointed at Huo Yuhao and clamored, completely unaware that danger had already arrived.
A pair of slender hands appeared out of thin air, phantom-like, and caressed the necks of two of them. The two Titled Douluo who were still clamoring a moment ago only felt a chill on their necks, and the world in their vision began to spin.
Their heads had been separated from their bodies on the spot!
"Who?" The last remaining Titled Douluo jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Not far behind him, a devastatingly beautiful and graceful figure with a bewitching smile slowly emerged from the void.
"With just you, you dare to threaten my man?" A murderous intent appeared on Zhongli Yu's pathologically pale face. She gently raised her snow-white arm and made a slight grasping motion towards that Titled Douluo.
A huge golden demon puppet appeared behind him out of thin air. The ribs on its chest opened up one by one, as if opening a gate to hell. The opened ribs were like sharp fangs. Before he could react, they pierced through his body and imprisoned him within its abdomen.
"Ahhhhh..."
A mournful scream echoed over the entire battlefield. Everyone watching, from both sides, felt a chill run down their spines. Was this the method of an evil soul master?
Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. He knew that once Zhongli Yu made a move, she would definitely not leave a good impression on the world. The latter, however, gave him a playful wink, as if asking, "Aren't I amazing? Praise me quickly!"
"You evil soul masters will not have a good end." Golden Body Douluo was still talking tough. It was really hard to tell if this guy was the Golden Body Douluo or the Golden Mouth Douluo.
"That's not for you to worry about." Huo Yuaho held the Ice Empress Blade and pointed it directly at his brow. "In the next life, remember not to oppose me and my companions again."
"Spare his life!"
Just then, a long cry suddenly came from the distance, and spots of light appeared. These spots of light were not too conspicuous, nor were there too many of them. Especially the green spot of light flying at the very front, it was simply like a meteor. Moreover, the faster this spot of light flew forward, the larger its volume became. Gradually, it seemed to have turned into a giant green fireball, arriving at extreme speed.
"Demon King Huo Yuhao, I've long heard of your great name. This old man is Du Busi! We can talk things over!" A deep voice sounded in the air. A large swath of green light spread across the sky, actually managing to resist the immense spiritual pressure that Huo Yuhao had brought down.
Hearing this voice, the tense faces of the soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Imperial Army finally relaxed a bit. Reinforcements had finally, truly arrived. The owner of that voice, although he acted extremely domineeringly, sounded so comforting at this moment.
But in the next second, snow began to fall without any warning.
It was a young girl who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old. She wore a long white dress, unstained by even a speck of dust. Her skirt billowed as if she were an elven princess, and her deep blue eyes, like a sprite's, glittered with endless coldness.
The ice and snow covering her body were the most beautiful white ceremonial dress. Her large, deep blue eyes were as clear and profound as if they could reflect the heavens and the earth. Her long hair was draped behind her, turning ice-blue, like a glacier from time immemorial. An extremely cold aura instantly filled the air. At this moment, even the aura released by Du Busi was completely suppressed by this terrifying chill.
"This is... a Fierce Beast? The Snow Empress?" Du Busi's figure appeared before everyone. He looked at the young girl blocking his way with suspicion and said with some uncertainty.
"Human, it's a wonder you recognize this Empress. What, are you planning to take me on together?"
The Snow Empress was not so gentle with people other than Huo Yuhao. Her voice, though pleasant, carried a chill that seemed to want to freeze a person completely. It was cold, arrogant, and domineering.
How could Du Busi be a match for this great lady? Even if it were Ye Xishui or Long Xiaoyao facing the current Snow Empress one-on-one, they would probably be at a disadvantage. If they were in the Extreme North, even Di Tian would have to temporarily avoid her.
Du Busi only felt his throat go a little dry. He, who had always been unreasonable, felt humiliated for the first time. But for the sake of the Heavenly Soul Empire and his sect, he could only choose to swallow his anger.
If Huo Yuhao were allowed to continue his killing spree, all the soul masters above level ninety in the Heavenly Soul Empire would be wiped out by him...
Don't mind that Du Busi in the original novel chose to self-destruct in the Sun Moon Imperial Palace with great integrity; the Heavenly Soul Empire had already fallen by then. It was over. Now, their confrontation with the protagonist's group is a completely undeserved disaster. Who could have expected a Demon King to emerge from the rebel army during a civil war? Therefore, it is only natural for Du Busi to step forward and plead for the sake of his sect and the empire.
