Douluo Continent: Blood Spear Martial Soul, Soul Rings that can unleash divine power?

"Reynolds! Your grandpa's here! Get your neck clean and come here to meet your end!"

The sound exploded in the yard like thunder.

Lin Yu paused in his chopsticks, then glanced up at the doorway.

"It seems Bishop Lei has guests."

Reynolds' expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Yu and Ling Yuan: "Your Highness, Your Majesty Ling Yuan, please enjoy your meal. I'll go take care of something."

Reynolds and Butler Wang stepped over the threshold and walked towards the gate.

Two people were already standing in the courtyard.

One was tall and thin, with a chin as sharp as a knife, carrying a snake-shaped short blade in his hand; the other was short and fat, shirtless, with a tuft of black hair on his chest, and holding a machete in each hand.

Reynolds stood in the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over the two men, his voice turning cold: "Li Wan, Li Qian, how dare you trespass on my Reynolds residence?"

The tall, thin man, named Li Wan, scoffed upon hearing this: "Oh, putting on airs, huh? You really think you're still that Platinum Bishop?"

The short, stout Li Qian chimed in, "Reynolds, when you stole our brother's ten-thousand-year-old soul bone back then, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Reynolds remained expressionless: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't know?" Li Wan sneered, twirling the snake-shaped short blade in his hand.

"Keep pretending. If you hadn't used those underhanded tricks back then, would that soul bone have ended up in your hands?"

"My brother and I have finally waited for this day!"

Li Qian took a step forward, and the blue brick beneath his feet cracked with a loud snap: "If I don't wipe out the entire Lei family today, I'll change my surname to yours!"

Reynolds' hands trembled slightly behind his back, but his face remained calm: "You two newly minted Soul Douluo trash?"

"Hahaha! Reynolds, stop pretending. Two of us Soul Douluos can easily take down a Soul Saint like you!"

Reynolds' heart sank instantly upon hearing this, but he maintained a calm expression on the surface.

"Hmph! Come on if you're not afraid of dying!"

Li Wan and Li Qian exchanged a glance, both seeing hesitation in each other's eyes.

Li Wan narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Why don't we try and see? Do you think he can kill me in one move?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wan flashed forward, his serpentine short blade drawing a blue arc, heading straight for Reynolds' throat.

Reynolds dodged to the side, then struck out with his palm, his soul power transforming into a powerful palm wind. Li Wan neither dodged nor avoided, taking the blow head-on.

As their palms were about to touch, Li Wan couldn't help but worry. If Reynolds' strength hadn't decreased, this blow would likely leave his hand needing a month to heal.

"Bang!"

Li Wan took three steps back, but he ignored them and instead grinned.

"Level 79!" He licked his lips, his eyes shining.

"Reynolds, you're truly finished!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qian's eyes lit up immediately: "What?"

"He had a piece of his soul bone removed, and his soul power dropped to seventy-nine!" Li Wan's voice changed, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Hahaha!" Li Qian laughed loudly, his face trembling with laughter.

"What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!"

"Reynolds, you've finally met your match!"

A trickle of blood flowed from Reynolds' mouth as he roared at the two men, "Who is it?!"

"Even my son didn't tell you this, so who told you?!"

Reynolds was filled with remorse. Because of his carelessness, he had misreported Lin Yu's innate soul power, committing a colossal mistake. The thousand-year-old soul bone was forcibly removed by the Enforcement Hall.

His right leg, from the knee down, still aches slightly.

After all, who would have thought someone could have innate soul power at level 20?! The highest level is only level 10, right?!

Li Wan sneered, "Why don't you guess? He might be the person you trust the most."

"The person you trust most?"

Reynolds thought to himself, then glanced at the butler, who had already run up behind the two of them.

Even a fool would understand what was going on after seeing this.

"Why!?" Reynolds demanded, his eyes filled with a murderous intent that seemed to want to devour the man before him alive.

Butler Wang: "Master, a wise bird chooses its tree to perch on."

"You are no longer the Platinum Bishop, without the Spirit Hall..."

"I'm asking you how you know I had my soul bone removed!"

Butler Wang: "Master, I've been with you for almost ten years, so I can still tell if your walking posture is slightly off."

Li Wan laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Reynolds must be feeling terrible about being betrayed, especially by a dog he's raised for almost ten years."

Li Qian spat, "Big brother, stop wasting time talking to him, let's all attack!"

"it is good."

The two pounced on him from the left and right.

Li Wan's serpentine short blade traced blue lines, his moves cunning and ruthless, specifically targeting his injured lower leg.

Li Qian's double axes moved with wide, sweeping motions, each strike accompanied by a whooshing sound, creating a crater in the ground upon impact.

(Don't ask why I didn't write about soul skills, because they're just minor characters.)

(ಥ_ಥ)

Reynolds was fighting two opponents at once and barely managed to hold on. His soul power had indeed dropped too much, and his reaction and strength were far inferior to his peak.

After a dozen or so moves, his steps became erratic and his breathing became heavy.

Li Qian swung his axe, causing him to stagger backward. Li Wan seized the opportunity to approach from the side and kicked him in the waist.

Reynolds grunted and flew backward, his back slamming into the artificial hill in the yard, which shattered into pieces.

He struggled to stand up, but a foot had already stepped on his chest.

Li Qian looked down at him, a cruel smile on his lips.

Li Wan also walked over, squatted down, and patted Reynolds' face with his short blade: "When you trampled on us back then, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Reynolds coughed up blood and turned his head to look towards the dining room.

Through the open door, he could see the large round table.

Lin Yu and Ling Yuan were still eating.

The two of them passed food to each other, chatting and laughing, as if what was happening outside had nothing to do with them.

"This is delicious, you should try it." Lin Yu's voice could be faintly heard.

Reynolds felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew he was no longer the Platinum Bishop and without the protection of the Spirit Hall, so why should Lin Yu help him?

Moreover, his son had offended someone yesterday. Although he said he forgave them, Reynolds knew that it was just a polite gesture.

If it were him, he wouldn't care either.

Li Qian followed his gaze and saw the two people in the dining room. The table was full of dishes, with soul beast meat piled up like a small mountain.

He laughed, a loud laugh.

"Oh, you're eating so well?" He pointed to the dishes on the table with his axe.

"Reynolds, you didn't know you were going to die today, so you prepared your last meal in advance, did you?"

Li Wan also laughed, his laughter sharp and piercing: "What a pity, what a pity, you probably won't get your last meal."

His gaze swept across the dining room, landing on Lin Yu and Ling Yuan, and he looked them up and down.

"Having both a son and a daughter, how wonderful that is!"

Reynolds didn't say anything.

Li Wan didn't mind and said to himself, "Perfect, let's take care of it all today."

He gestured with his chin toward the dining room, raising his voice several octaves: "Hey! You two! Your father's dying, how can you still eat?"

Lin Yu stopped picking up food with his chopsticks, and Ling Yuan stopped chewing.
