Reaching the Soul King realm is a basic requirement for entering Shrek Academy's inner court. However, across the entire continent, a five-ring Soul King is already a formidable force. Whether joining the army or any other faction, one can enjoy extremely generous benefits.
Moreover, Tang Ya possesses the best-matched spirit rings.
"Tie Li, come out here! Back then, you didn't hesitate to kill my parents in order to seize our Tang Clan's territory. Today, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!" Tang Ya shouted, rushing into the front yard that originally belonged to the Tang Clan. Bei Bei followed closely behind to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
The two disciples from the Iron Blood Sect who were on duty dared not stop them and retreated in fear.
The commotion Tang Ya made outside the door had alerted everyone inside the Iron Blood Sect, and a large number of Iron Blood Sect disciples rushed out.
Although the Iron Blood Sect was just a small, unknown sect, it still had nearly two hundred disciples. The Iron Force that Tang Ya mentioned was the sect leader of the Iron Blood Sect, a Soul Emperor-level expert, who was standing at the very front of the Iron Blood Sect disciples.
Tie Li looked quite old, with a very strong build, and a fierce glint in his small eyes.
His pupils contracted slightly when he noticed the five optimally matched spirit rings surrounding Tang Ya. But when he saw Tang Ya's face clearly, his expression instantly turned incredibly grim, clearly recognizing her.
"It's you?!"
Tie Li couldn't understand how that little girl who had managed to escape back then could cultivate to the level of a five-ring Soul King in just ten years.
We absolutely cannot let her leave here alive!
Tie Li narrowed his eyes, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Now that Tang Ya has come to their doorstep, they have every right to attack her, and even Shrek Academy can't say anything about it.
Tie Li's only concern right now is Bei Bei, who is behind Tang Ya. If Bei Bei is also a Soul King from Shrek Academy, then things will be more complicated.
The expressions of the two Iron Blood Sect elders standing next to Tie Li also changed.
Tie Li's only son, Tie Tang, also looked equally grim. Despite being the young sect leader of the Iron Blood Sect, he was already over thirty years old, yet his cultivation level was only at the four-ring Soul Master level. Moreover, his Soul Ring configuration was a paltry one white, two yellow, and one purple.
Seeing Tang Ya's powerful cultivation level and the ratio of her spirit rings, he instantly felt unbalanced.
"go to hell!"
However, Tang Ya didn't give Tie Li and the others much time to react. She screamed in grief and indignation, and her third purple spirit ring suddenly shone brightly.
Without any warning, four cages made of sixteen Blue Silver Emperors materialized and solidified, imprisoning Tie Li, his son Tie Tang, and two other elders of the Iron Blood Sect inside.
Blue Silver Emperor's third soul skill: Blue Silver Cage!
As her spirit evolved from ordinary Blue Silver Grass to Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Ya's spirit skills also underwent positive changes. The Blue Silver Cage, which could originally only be used on a single target, can now control multiple targets simultaneously. And it's instantaneous.
Sensing the threat, Tie Li and the other three almost instinctively released their respective martial spirits.
Tie Li was a six-ring Soul Emperor. After completing the Martial Soul Possession, his height suddenly soared to 2.5 meters. His body became extremely strong, and his arms became exceptionally thick.
His martial soul is called Iron Arm Bear, which is a very common bear-type martial soul.
Furthermore, his spirit ring configuration is only one white, two yellow, and three purple. He doesn't even have a ten-thousand-year spirit ring. This also means that becoming a Spirit Emperor is Tie Li's limit; he will never be able to break through to the level of a seven-ring Spirit Saint.
Tang Ya's martial soul evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, and her soul power cultivation also improved significantly, so the gap between her and Tie Li was not too large.
In terms of the quality of their martial souls, the Blue Silver Emperor and the Iron Arm Bear are worlds apart.
Even with his Soul Emperor level cultivation, Tie Li couldn't break free from the resilient blue-silver cage immediately. Needless to say, the two elders with Soul King cultivation and Tie Tang with Soul Sect cultivation were even less likely to escape.
A flurry of crimson lights followed, the scorching heat distorting the surrounding space.
It was the Thorn Rain skill from Tang Ya's right arm soul bone, a skill from a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
Tie Li and the two elders with Soul King cultivation could temporarily hold on, but Tie Tang, who was only a four-ring Soul Master, could not avoid being instantly pierced through by the thorn rain, even if he tried his best to activate his protective soul skill.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Tie Li watched helplessly as his only son perished, and there was nothing he could do.
His eyes were nearly bloodshot as he roared maniacally, "Bastard! You...you killed my son?!"
Chapter 442 Reencounter with Mu Xue and Vina
Tie Li was, after all, a six-ring Soul Emperor. After a brief period of charging up, he finally used his strongest fifth and sixth Soul Skills simultaneously to tear apart Tang Ya's Blue Silver Cage.
His fifth spirit ring shone, and a layer of iron-gray light appeared on his body. Then, amplified by his sixth spirit skill, his thick arms grew to three times their original size once more.
Enraged, Tie Li charged at Tang Ya and brought his iron arms down on her head.
"If you dare kill my son, then I'll make you pay with your life!"
Despite Tie Li's ferocious offensive, Tang Ya remained calm and fearless.
The deep black spirit ring next to him, ranked fifth, expanded its light outwards, and thick blue silver grass vines rose from the ground. These blue silver grass vines were thicker than an adult's body, and they clearly resembled the man-eating vines of the Nightmare Beast.
However, the vines themselves were also the translucent blue-gold of the Blue Silver Emperor, resembling several blue-gold dragons coiling around and tightly binding Tie Li's body, restricting his movements.
Fine black thorns grew on the vines. Though called black thorns, they were more like eerie, sharp teeth, rubbing and pulsating wildly.
Tang Ya rebuked him with icy eyes.
"Tieli, you deserve all of this! When you bribed the city guards to launch a surprise attack on the Tang Clan at night and kill my parents, did you ever think of this day?! I won't kill you now; I'll make you suffer endless torment and die in endless pain!"
This is Tang Ya's fifth soul skill, Nightmare Fang, and it is the Nightmare Fang after her martial soul has evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor. Its power is incomparable to what it was before.
In an instant, the spikes on the thick Blue Silver Emperor easily broke through the Iron Force Protective Soul Skill's defense and injected a large amount of Nightmare Toxin.
Tie Li's eyes widened, filled with terror and resentment. But in the next instant, his pupils lost focus and became numb.
His face was contorted in a ferocious expression, and his body convulsed violently from time to time, as if he were enduring some kind of immense pain.
Tieli's consciousness was trapped in a hallucination created by the Nightmare Poison. Here, he was to endure boundless torment.
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Seeing the miserable state of the sect leader and the young sect leader, the disciples of the Iron Blood Sect were filled with fear and panic, and instinctively retreated.
Even the sect leader Tie Li, who was a Soul Emperor, ended up in such a state. How could they possibly be a match for Tang Ya?
The two elders of the Iron Blood Sect, both Soul Kings, were still inside the Blue Silver Cage. Their martial souls were a whip and a swift wolf, respectively—both very ordinary martial souls, and neither was skilled in defense. At this moment, the two appeared completely exhausted, kneeling on the ground, pale-faced and utterly disheveled.
There was fear of Tang Ya, and even more so, the disorientation of surviving a disaster.
Of course, this was because Tang Ya had shown them mercy earlier.
The soul bone skill "Thorn Rain" that Tang Ya just used originated from the ten-thousand-year-old Crimson Flame Thorn right arm soul bone that Bei Bei helped him buy from the Nine Treasures Pavilion. This powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul bone skill was, in effect, a dimensional reduction attack for the two Soul King elders of the Iron Blood Sect.
This is the norm for ordinary Soul Masters. Even if they are lucky enough to awaken their Martial Soul with innate Soul Power that allows them to cultivate, without the support of a powerful background, they can only dream of obtaining the best-matched Soul Rings on their own.
If Tang Ya hadn't held back, both the Whip Soul King and the Swift Wolf Soul King would have met the same fate.
Beibei did not stop Tang Ya, but let her attack Tie Li until she finally released the Blue Silver Emperor, which pierced through Tie Li's body.
Having avenged her great grudge, Tang Ya withdrew her martial spirit, her eyes reddening and her delicate body trembling slightly.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaoya has avenged you! Don't worry, I will definitely restore the Tang Clan to its former glory in the future..."
"Xiaoya, your uncle and aunt, if they are watching from heaven, they will surely be comforted by this."
Beibei sighed softly and stepped forward to comfort Tang Ya, tightly holding her delicate hand.
Looking into Bei Bei's gentle gaze, Tang Ya's turbulent emotions calmed down considerably. She then turned to the group of Iron Blood Sect disciples in front of her and said calmly, "This is a feud between our Tang Sect and the Tie Li father and son. Now that the Tie Li father and son have been executed, you are free to leave the Iron Blood Sect as long as you leave now. We will not do anything to you."
Upon hearing Tang Ya's words, the still-shaken Iron Blood Sect disciples left in a flurry of gratitude.
With Tie Li and his son dead, the Iron Blood Sect would naturally no longer hold them accountable. They weren't loyal enough to avenge Tie Li and his son.
Small, unknown sects like the Iron Blood Sect recruit many of their disciples from ordinary soul masters outside the sect. Only ordinary soul masters with average martial souls and cultivation talent, and little potential or background, would be forced to join such small sects in order to seek protection and limited resources.
At least, joining such a small Soul Master sect guarantees the acquisition of low-level Soul Rings that are ten or a hundred years old.
The Whip-wielding Soul King and the Swift Wolf Soul King joined the Iron Blood Sect in recent years on the condition that Tie Li would help them obtain higher-quality soul rings. Before leaving, the two sincerely bowed to Tang Ya.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Iron Blood Sect fell apart. The commotion also attracted the attention of the law enforcement soul master squad from the Heaven Dou City Guard.
The Soul Master squad flew in a fan shape, slowly changing their formation in the air, and surrounded the mansion that originally belonged to the Tang Clan in a semi-encircling manner.
The leader was a stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor. The flying soul tool on her back emitted a faint blue light, and her leather armor perfectly outlined her beautiful figure, giving her a heroic and dashing air.
"Who are you people? How dare you cause trouble in our capital?"
The cold voice was pleasant to the ear, but the questioning tone in its words was somewhat unpleasant.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei, who were inside the Tang Clan's residence, showed a hint of surprise when they saw the newcomer.
They were familiar with the woman in the lead; they had met before when they participated in the Continental Youth Soul Master Elite Competition in Mingdu.
"You're Mu Xue?!"
"Is it you?"
When Mu Xue saw Bei Bei and Tang Ya's expressions, she couldn't help but be taken aback.
Although she didn't have much contact with Tang Ya and Bei Bei, she knew that they were both inner disciples of Shrek Academy.
Especially Bei Bei, who displayed extremely formidable strength when facing the Holy Spirit Team. Apart from Yu Tianhuang, who cannot be judged by ordinary standards, Bei Bei should also be considered a leading figure among the younger generation of Shrek Academy.
Even without these issues, anything involving Shrek Academy must be handled with utmost care.
Mu Xue frowned and asked seriously, "What's going on here?"
No sooner had Mu Xue finished speaking than a voice suddenly rang out from there.
"Senior Xiaoya, tell Muxue the truth."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, everyone present looked up at the sky in unison.
Suddenly, Xu Zihuang's figure appeared out of nowhere, carrying Ning Tian as he gracefully landed on the rooftop.
"Senior Brother Bei, Senior Sister Xiaoya, long time no see." Xu Zihuang greeted Tang Ya and Bei Bei. Ning Tian, who was next to him, also waved to the two of them.
"Tianhuang, Ning Tian, your junior sister?!"
Compared to Tang Ya and Bei Bei, who knew beforehand, Mu Xue's reaction was much stronger.
"Yu Tianhuang?! When did you get back?!"
"Hello, Mu Xue. I didn't expect to meet you here." Out of politeness, Xu Zihuang nodded to Mu Xue.
"I can't explain my situation in a short time, so let's deal with the immediate problem first."
As he spoke, Xu Zihuang's gaze fell on Tang Ya again.
"Senior Xiaoya, just tell Muxue the truth about your Tang Sect. I believe she can represent the Heavenly Soul Empire and make a fair decision."
"Ah."
Tang Ya pursed her lips, moved. Of course, she could see that Yu Tianhuang was helping her indirectly. But she owed Yu Tianhuang far too much kindness.
Then, she recounted in detail how the Iron Blood Sect bribed the Heavenly Dou City Guards ten years ago to launch a night attack on their Tang Clan. She also explained that her purpose in coming this time was solely to seek revenge against Tie Li and his son, and that no one else was implicated.
