Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Flowing Blade Like Fire terrifies Bibi Dong

Chapter 44 Surrender or Die!

"A direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?"

"If you can't even handle a few small fry, it seems that the so-called number one beast spirit in the world is nothing but a joke."

This extremely arrogant and merciless taunt was like a resounding slap across Yu Tianheng's face.

Yu Tianheng's face turned bright red, and his fists clenched tightly, a result of the pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"You—who exactly are you?!" Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, staring intently at Su Chen, his eyes filled with resentment and fear.

Before Su Chen could even speak...

In mid-air, Dugu Bo and Yue Guan had already landed.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, a peerless powerhouse with a fearsome reputation in the Heaven Dou Empire, whom even the Heaven Dou Emperor had to treat with deference.

To the astonishment of Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, he quickly walked up to the black-robed youth and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my granddaughter!"

"Your Highness's kindness will never be forgotten!"

boom!

This scene was like a thunderbolt, completely shattering Yu Tianheng's psychological defenses.

A titled Douluo—actually bowing so deeply to a mere youth?!

And he even calls me "Your Highness"?!

Yue Guan also sneered and glanced at Yu Tianheng with utter contempt.

"You brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, remember everything you saw today."

"Standing before you is His Highness the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"

"As for your pathetic pride, it's nothing but a fart in front of His Highness!"

The Spirit Hall—the Holy Son?!

Yu Tianheng's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with undisguised despair and horror.

He finally understood just how terrifying a monster he was facing!

Yu Tianheng felt a chill seeping from his very bones, making his heart feel icy cold.

He was a top genius of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. From childhood to adulthood, he had heard countless legends about "challenging opponents of higher levels," and he himself had even managed to defeat opponents several levels above his own.

But before today, he would never have believed that anyone in this world could cross two major realms and kill four Soul Masters as easily as killing chickens.

What's more, the other person looks several years younger than him!

"You—what kind of monster are you—"

Yu Tianheng slumped to the ground, looking at Su Chen's calm and expressionless face, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

His prized Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, and his right arm covered in lightning dragon scales, now appeared so laughable and so powerless in front of Su Chen.

Su Chen ignored Yu Tianheng's breakdown.

He simply turned his head and looked at Dugu Yan, who was standing next to Dugu Bo.

"Dugu Yan?"

Su Chen's gaze swept over the girl's deep purple short hair and alluring face, his tone indifferent.

"Yes—yes, Your Highness."

Dugu Yan lowered her head instinctively, not daring to look Su Chen in the eye.

Even though she was the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, and even though she was used to being arrogant and domineering in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, at this moment, facing this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall who could casually crush four Soul Masters and whose grandfather had to bow respectfully to her, she felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

too strong.

It's so cold.

That arrogant indifference, that disregard for human life, is not an act at all, but a confidence that has truly been forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

"Your Jade Phosphorus Venom has begun to backfire on your meridians."

The moment Su Chen spoke, both Dugu Bo and his grandson Dugu Yan's expressions changed.

"Your Highness has such discerning eyes!" Dugu Bo hurriedly stepped forward, his voice filled with barely concealed anxiety. "My granddaughter is deeply poisoned. If it weren't for the antidote Your Highness bestowed upon her, she probably wouldn't have survived past twenty. I humbly beg Your Highness to have mercy and save Yanyan's life! If Your Highness can save her, I'll gladly give my life to the Spirit Hall!"

Dugu Bo was really anxious.

Having suffered from poison for most of his life, he knew all too well the agony of such a living hell. He would never allow his only granddaughter to follow in his footsteps.

Having witnessed Su Chen's miraculous abilities and the wonders of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, he now harbors an almost blind devotion and trust in Su Chen.

"Saving her is possible."

Su Chen glanced at Dugu Bo indifferently.

"But the Spirit Hall does not support idlers. Nor does it support useless people."

He turned to look at Yu Tianheng, a cold smile curving his lips.

"You brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, you just said that even if you die, you won't abandon your woman?"

When Su Chen looked at him, Yu Tianheng felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

He forced himself to his feet, gritting his teeth and staring intently at Su Chen: "Yes! I, Yu Tianheng, keep my word! If you want to kill or torture someone, come at me! Don't touch Yanzi!"

"Good spirit. Too bad, his skills are terrible."

Su Chen chuckled lightly, his eyes filled with disdain.

"You can't even protect her, so what makes you think you can negotiate with me?"

"You keep saying she's your woman, but just now, if I hadn't intervened, she would have been captured by the Wind Sword Sect and used as leverage against Dugu Bo. And you would just be a corpse with your eyes wide open in death."

"In this world, without strength, your deep affection and your integrity are nothing but a fart."

Su Chen's words were like daggers, each one piercing Yu Tianheng's heart.

Yu Tianheng's face was deathly pale, his fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, and blood dripped from between his fingers.

He wanted to refute, he wanted to loudly tell Su Chen that the pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not to be desecrated.

But when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't utter a single word.

Because everything Su Chen said was true!

Faced with absolute power, his prized talent and background were as fragile as a piece of waste paper!

"Tianheng—" Dugu Yan felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw Yu Tianheng's pained and self-reproachful appearance, and couldn't help but want to go forward and comfort him.

"Yanyan, don't go over there!" Dugu Bo grabbed his granddaughter and glared at her sternly.

He knew Su Chen's style of doing things all too well.

This Holy Son never does anything without a purpose. Since he's suppressing Yu Tianheng at this time, he must have his reasons. Intervening now will only anger Su Chen.

"What do you want?"

Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the humiliation and resentment in his heart, and stared intently at Su Chen.

"It's very simple."

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at him.

"Submission."

"Or, death."

The moment those two words were uttered, the atmosphere in the entire canyon instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Yue Guan and Dugu Bo narrowed their eyes at the same time, a faint but palpable killing intent emanating from their bodies, locking onto Yu Tianheng.

If Yu Tianheng dares to utter even half a word of "no," they will not hesitate to take action and kill this genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan on the spot!

"You're dreaming!"

Yu Tianheng's eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared like an enraged beast.

"I, Yu Tianheng, am a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! My dignity and my beliefs absolutely forbid me from bowing to the Spirit Hall! And I will never submit to you!"

"Kill me if you want! If I even flinch, I don't deserve the surname Yu!"

"Alright, I'll grant your wish."

There was no pity in Su Chen's eyes, and he didn't even bother to say a word.

Since it can't be used by me, I'll just destroy it.

This is Su Chen's code of conduct.

"Whoosh!"

Su Chen slowly raised his right hand, and that deep, dark golden light shone in his palm once more.

Five sharp auras, powerful enough to tear through space, instantly locked onto Yu Tianheng's throat!

"No! Your Highness! Please, don't kill him!"

Upon seeing this, Dugu Yan turned pale with fright. She broke free from Dugu Bo's grasp and knelt down in front of Su Chen with a thud, clinging tightly to his leg and sobbing uncontrollably.

"Please, please spare him! If you're willing to let him go, I, Dugu Yan, am willing to do anything for you! Even if it means being your slave, I'd be happy to do it!"

"Yanzi! What are you doing! Get up!"

When Yu Tianheng saw his beloved woman kneeling and begging for mercy from the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall for his sake, he felt as if his heart had been crushed, and he was in extreme pain.

He would rather die himself than see Dugu Yan suffer such injustice!

"Shut up!"

Dugu Yan turned her head and shouted at Yu Tianheng with tears streaming down her face.

"What will I do if you die?! What will happen to my grandfather?! You selfish bastard, do you think your pride is more important than our lives?!"

After yelling, she turned to look at Su Chen again, her forehead slamming heavily against the hard rock, blood instantly staining the ground red.

"Your Highness, I beg you, have mercy!"

Su Chen looked down at Dugu Yan, who was kneeling at his feet and pleading desperately, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He did not immediately withdraw his right hand, but instead turned his gaze to Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side.

"Old Poisoner, what do you think?"

Dugu Bo shuddered, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

This is an extremely critical problem.

If he pleads for Yu Tianheng, it would be tantamount to going against Su Chen's will, and Su Chen might even doubt his loyalty.

But if he had stood by and watched Yu Tianheng be killed, his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, would probably have lived a life of pain and hatred for the rest of her life.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart, and slowly knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness's actions are beyond my control. But—"

He paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "Although this brat is arrogant and ignorant, he is, after all, a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If Your Highness kills him now, it might prematurely ignite a full-scale war between the Spirit Hall and the Three Upper Sects."

"I believe that keeping him alive is perhaps more valuable than killing him."

"Oh?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow. "For example?"

"For example—let him become a hidden pawn in His Highness's hands, used to dismantle the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, amidst despair and humiliation!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
