Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 42 Yaoling Deer
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you. I only ask that you spare my grandson. He has absolutely never done anything against the law."

Jing Hongchen did not continue to attack. He could already see the outcome from the opponent's brief fighting performance. He had no hope of winning at all.

If he were alone, he would have escaped even at the cost of burning his life and soul power, but he had his grandson behind him, so he couldn't run away.

Di Tian stared at Jing Hongchen with his golden pupils. Knowing that he could no longer catch up with the other person, he raised his dragon claws and gently clenched them.

Jing Hongchen did not resist and allowed the other party's suction to carry him through the forest.

"Di Tian, ​​you're back."

Jing Hongchen opened his eyes upon hearing this, and saw a soul beast that looked like a lion. He was shocked, and the beast could speak human language, which meant that it was a soul beast of one hundred thousand years old.

"Auspicious beast, can you tell it apart now?" Di Tian used his soul power to seal Jing Hongchen's meridians and threw him to the ground.

"Yes, I can be sure it's not him." The three-eyed golden lion nodded and said confidently.

"Tell me, what's your grandson's name!" Di Tian frowned and looked at Jing Hongchen coldly.

"Wait, this human is that person's grandfather?" The three-eyed golden lion suddenly interrupted upon hearing this.

"Yes, have you found anything?" Di Tian nodded, not knowing why.

"We've got the wrong guy. If the guy who escaped is someone who shares my trajectory, as his grandfather, I must be able to sense a connection with him.

But I just used the power of destiny to explore, and this person has nothing to do with me, which means they are not our target."

"Is this fate? If you try to force yourself to look for me before you meet, you will be stopped." Di Tian sighed, very disappointed.

"In that case, those who wantonly destroy the ecology of the Star Dou Great Forest must be executed!"

Di Tian's eyes were cold. Jing Hongchen's two eighth-level soul guide shells destroyed the forest within a radius of several miles and seriously damaged the soul beast ecology.

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Tian clenched his dragon claws. Jing Hongchen's eyes bulged out and his face trembled.

With a bang, the head exploded like a broken watermelon, but no blood splashed out. A ball of dark energy surged out from Di Tian's hand, and everything it passed through turned into nothingness.

Jing Hongchen, perished! Not a single bone remains!

Fan Yu led Huo Yuhao forward at full speed and soon found the source of the howling.

It was a soul beast that looked like an elk, nearly two meters tall, with orange-yellow hair covering its entire body. Strangely, there seemed to be densely packed light golden scales hidden beneath the hair.

Its thick antlers shone with a metallic luster, and its limbs were slender and powerful. It seemed to be frightened by the sudden explosion, and at this moment it was running quickly into the depths of the forest.

"Teacher, what kind of soul beast is this? The spiritual fluctuations around it are so strong!" On the treetop, Huo Yuhao said nervously and excitedly.

After turning on the spiritual detection, he could clearly feel the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy from the elk.

"How come there's a Yaoling Deer in this place? Yuhao, we're lucky. This is indeed a spirit beast with spiritual attributes. It looks like it just broke through the ten thousand year mark not long ago."

Fan Yu's tone was smiling. Seeing Huo Yuhao's confused expression, he explained while chasing him.

"This soul beast is called the Shining Spirit Deer. The reason for this name is because of its innate ability - Shining Spirit Light. Do you see those antlers?

The antlers of the Yaoling Deer can emit strong light, which carries strong spiritual energy. Any creature illuminated by it will suffer varying degrees of spiritual attack.

This skill is just an ordinary area skill, just a rarer version of a mental attack. However, it has an extremely powerful characteristic: it will not suffer mental backlash.

Huo Yuhao was shocked beyond words when he heard this. The words "mental backlash" were all too familiar to him.

Most of the spiritual soul skills consume one's own spiritual power to attack the opponent's spiritual defense. If one encounters an opponent with weaker spiritual power than oneself, it is natural to break through the spiritual barrier easily.

However, if you encounter an opponent with stronger mental power than yourself, not only will you be unable to break through the mental barrier, but as long as the opponent wants, he can directly use his mental power to counterattack and cause mental backlash.

Therefore, there are two prerequisites for using spiritual attack skills. One is that the opponent's mental strength is weaker than your own, and the other is that the opponent is in a state of mental relaxation.

For opponents whose mental power is at the same level as yours or slightly higher, mental attacks still have a chance of success as long as the opponent is not paying attention.

Why is the first soul skill that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gave him, Mental Interference, so powerful? It is because there is no mental backlash and it can be used anytime and anywhere.

Soul shock, on the other hand, requires careful consideration of timing and should not be used rashly.

"Yuhao, I'll find a suitable time to drop you off later. Please keep your body stable."

Fan Yu spoke in a serious tone, and Huo Yuhao nodded to show that he understood.

"It's now!"

Fan Yu threw Huo Yuhao out without any worries. He increased the horsepower of the soul guide propulsion device behind him to the maximum, and shot out like an arrow.

The speed was so fast that even Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection could not capture it. During the ejection process, Fan Yu's hands turned into tiger claws without him noticing.

To be precise, it was a boxing soul guide in the shape of a tiger claw, with its sharp claws pointing directly at the pair of deer antlers.

Since Fan Yu knew the Yaoling Deer, he certainly knew its fatal weakness. Without this pair of antlers, the Yaoling Deer could almost be said to have completely lost its combat effectiveness.

As the sharp blade at his fingertips touched the deer antler, he cut it as easily as cutting tofu. Fan Yu was not surprised by this.

This is the eighth-level melee soul guide weapon, the Tiger Blade, which he painstakingly crafted. It is also his first work as an eighth-level soul guide, and it cost a huge amount of money.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a waste of talent to deal with a soul beast that has just entered its ten thousandth year.

The Yaoling Deer let out a mournful cry as its antlers were cut by the sharp blade. The severe pain made its body tremble and its limbs stiffen.

The pain stimulated its brain, and it accidentally lost its balance and began to lean forward, using inertia to draw a long scratch on the ground.

"Yuhao, do it."

Huo Yuhao was filled with nothing but surprise. This was the strength of an eighth-level soul engineer. He didn't even need a martial soul to kill a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in an instant.

Looking at the Yaoling Deer twitching and convulsing on the ground, Huo Yuhao took out the White Tiger Dagger. He already knew that this was a soul guide.

Soul power was injected, and the blade glowed white, instantly extending more than twice as much. The sharp blade pierced through the Yaoling Deer's eyes and went straight through its brain.

The inky black soul ring rose up, appearing so clear and bright even at night.

Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged, golden light flashing in his eyes. A hazy shadow with vertical pupils appeared from behind him. The ten thousand year soul ring was guided, shrank and sank into his body.

"Brother Tianmeng, let's start."
