Douluo: I Am Unparalleled in the World

```

Suddenly, at this moment, a red mist surged towards them.

What's going on here!

Wasn't it over already, why is there another huge wave of red gas!

Is today the day I, Ye Feng, am going to be worked to death?!

I can't help it, I still need to check my System, I have a feeling things aren't as simple as they appear, there must be some mistake causing all this red mist around us.

Under normal circumstances, a red mist like this would mean you can hardly see anything.

But in Ye Feng's eyes, it was simple to find the cause.

"Hiss--"

System!

[Ding, master, you have an unread message.]

It just so happened that Ye Feng hadn't properly checked his System for quite some days.

Ye Feng walked and suddenly realized there was something under his feet.

So, he squatted down, extended a leg, and checked the sole of his shoe to see what was making it so uncomfortable to walk.

A small pebble almost did him in!

It then occurred to Ye Feng that someone might be secretly investigating him in the shadows.

The red gas was once again released by that mysterious figure towards Ye Feng.

[Someone is secretly investigating you, Master, and they are approximately one kilometer away from your location.]

As Ye Feng lightly touched the message bar and closely examined each piece of content, the most important point was that someone was about to ambush him again!

And it was related to the red gas, but luckily, Ye Feng had his System to get an early warning, or else he would be ambushed again, adding to the fatigue from the long fight with that old man Tang Hao and the enormous consumption of his stamina.

[Master, you are only ten million gold coins away from breaking through to the next Soul Ring.]

Breaking through to the next Soul Ring wasn't difficult and could be done at any time, it just required a lot of gold coins so Ye Feng was a bit hesitant!

If he really wanted to desperately break through to the next Soul Ring now, he still had one million gold coins!

"I think I'll pass, I can wait until next time to break through, besides, Tang San's debt to me hasn't been settled yet, right? It would be an insult to his strength to upgrade my Soul Power right in front of him."

With that, he looked towards Tang Hao, who lay on the ground defeated, and shook his head.

This was a Hao Tian Douluo lying there in such a state, how heartbroken Tang San would be if he discovered his father had been defeated by them.

[Master, this is a great opportunity for you to advance to the next soul power rank level 95, you are currently at Level 92!]

The System reminded him again not to miss the opportunity right before his eyes!

[Ding! Cancel option!]

A warning with four big red characters appeared on the System screen, and Ye Feng really did refuse the chance to advance.

He had absolutely no interest in advancing at the moment, all he wanted was to know who the mysterious figure was!

The System soon vanished from sight.

"Ye Feng, are you alright? What's going on here, everything is surrounded by red gas, we're not poisoned and hallucinating, are we?"

Your highness Crown Prince asked with a puzzled expression.

After getting up from the ground, his gaze swept around.

It seemed it wasn't a hallucination; there really was red gas.

"I'm fine!"

Ye Feng quickly replied.

Then he winced, causing Your highness Crown Prince to notice something was off about Ye Feng.

Immediately, he walked over to Ye Feng for a closer look.

"You say you're fine, but your finger is broken, changing from five fingers to four."

If Ye Feng wasn't so preoccupied, he wouldn't have only just realized he was missing a finger.

"Ah, my finger, I've only just noticed I'm missing one."

In that moment, he really felt like charging back in and wiping out Tang Hao.

But he stopped in his tracks and didn't go any further.

Because they had ended in a stalemate!

"It's nothing serious, it's just a little problem of losing one finger, the remaining four are completely unaffected."

Ye Feng looked at his hand with one less finger and felt bitter inside.

He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, determined not to cry out.

His eyes, filled with deadly intent, turned back towards Tang Hao.

Tang Hao hadn't regained consciousness yet, and an idea sparked in Ye Feng's mind – since the other party was still out, why not take the opportunity to strike? If he waited any longer and his opponent woke up, it would be much harder to make a move.

"What are you planning now?!"

Your highness Crown Prince quickly asked.

He could see through Ye Feng and knew he was about to undertake a major action!

"Well, of course, I have a plan, Your highness Crown Prince, just wait here for me, I'll be right back."

Without another word, Ye Feng got up and strode forward.

You have to treasure opportunities when they are right before your eyes, who knows when the next one will come.

Now it wasn't possible to let Tang Hao die, it wasn't time yet, so Ye Feng's idea was simple – give the opponent a good beating first.

"Do you need any help? I think I'll join in,"

"This red gas is getting thicker and almost obstructing the view; we should act fast before he wakes up and makes escaping difficult."

I'll find some time later to investigate what this red gas is all about!

But first, let Ye Feng clear up the situation in front of him!

Your highness Crown Prince spoke out.

```

He stood to the side, watching how Ye Feng would make his move!

"Tang Hao, you damned immortal, you actually broke one of my fingers, didn't you? I must say, I do admire your strength. But just breaking a finger doesn't affect me much; I'm still living well. As for your Tang San, if his arm had been crippled and I, Ye Feng, hadn't stepped in to save him, even if you could find the whole Continent's Divine Doctor to heal his shattered arm, you wouldn't have discovered that I, Ye Feng, possess such ability."

Ye Feng directly told Tang Hao to his face that the mysterious bone-setting person was none other than himself!

Up to this moment, Tang Hao was still lying on the ground while Ye Feng kept chatter incessantly in his ear, as if reciting scripture to him.

"So it was you, Ye Feng. I didn't know you had this skill until now. Pretty impressive."

Your Highness Crown Prince looked on at Ye Feng with an admiring stance.

"Hmm, I also spent some time these past years teaching myself the Bone-setting Technique, just for fun. I wasn't even sure if I could actually reattach a limb, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, haha."

"Smack, smack—!"

Ninety-nine hits nearly sent Tang Hao packing!

Fortunately, Tang Hao hadn't woken up. If he had opened his eyes and found Ye Feng slapping his face, Ye Feng feared he wouldn't be able to dodge a direct blow of soul force from him.

Ye Feng's palm continuously slapped Tang Hao's face for a total of ninety-nine times. Those ninety-nine slaps, weren't they very crisp, and isn't that number quite familiar?

The power of Tang Hao's Haotian Long Absent could only be unleashed on the hammer after ninety-nine threads of soul force, delivering a powerful assault on the opponent.

"His face looks terrible, Ye Feng, you really didn't hold back."

Your Highness Crown Prince quickly spoke up.

I can't believe he actually dared to strike Tang Hao's face!

Tang Hao's face was swollen like a pig's head!

"I think that's enough; we should leave this place quickly. If he wakes up later, it'll be too late and troublesome to try and leave."

That was Your Highness Crown Prince speaking.

He truly didn't wish for Ye Feng to risk his life for the last breath; it wasn't worth it!

"Okay, then let's leave right now."

And so, Ye Feng and Your Highness Crown Prince were about to leave when the red gas became even denser.

"Xue'er!"

Suddenly, Ye Feng called out to Xue'er.

With no one else around, Ye Feng directly called out Xue'er's name, a name he alone could use to address her.

Xue'er promptly nodded.

"Feng, we haven't yet dealt with the red gas completely. What do you think we should do now?"

"It's said that inhaling too much of this gas can cause serious harm to us. My suggestion is that before we leave the forest, we should find out the cause."

Xue'er's demeanor was cold.

He actually wasn't very afraid, even if it meant dying, as long as they died together, it was worth it!

The love Ye Feng had for him was the most genuine.

"Come out!"

Was Ye Feng talking to Xue'er? Why did it feel a bit off?

Xue'er was right beside him!

"Feng, what's wrong with you?!"

Xue'er's face was full of confusion.

"Hiss—"

Ye Feng directly revealed his Martial Soul, it seemed they were in for another big fight.

They had already distanced themselves from Tang Hao, who would not catch up for the time being.

Xue'er also heightened her vigilance, sensing someone watching them from the shadows, which was also related to the red gas.

"It's me, your senior brother Ye Feng."

Dugu Yan!

All of a sudden, what was he doing here!

His grandfather, Du Gubo, was not like them; could it be the old man had run into trouble?

Whenever Dugu Yan found Ye Feng, certainly no good news followed.

He must have come with bad tidings hoping for Ye Feng's help!

"Oh, it's you, Miss Yen'er. What brings you here, and what's the deal with the red gas? I almost thought we were in for a big fight, but it turns out it's you."

Dugu Yan's gaze remained fixed on Xue'er the whole time.

"This is Your Highness Crown Prince."

Ye Feng stood there, baffled; how could she recognize that it was the crown prince?

It turned out Xue'er had already transformed back into Your Highness Crown Prince.

Your Highness Crown Prince nodded in acknowledgment.

"Hmm, Miss Yen'er, I had the fortune to meet you years ago at the Soul Master competition. I'm pleased to see you again, and you've improved quite a lot. Very good, very good."

Although Your Highness Crown Prince and Yen'er were not much different in age, considering that the prince came from the Martial Soul Hall Empire, which was far greater than the Dugu Family, even seeing someone from the Martial Soul Hall brought a bit of nervousness.

Yen'er, nervous, couldn't stop her legs from shaking uncontrollably.

Your Highness Crown Prince gave a slight smile.

"The red gas was released by me intentionally. I was passing by and heard a lot of noise up ahead, so I ran over following the sound and just so happened to run into you guys."

"At that time you all were lying on the ground motionless, I thought something had happened to you. I didn't dare to move forward and just waited there for you to wake up sooner."

"Why didn't you just kill Tang Hao instead of leaving him alive? What's the use in keeping him? And Tang San is no good either, not even worth a dog!"

Yen'er was speaking on behalf of Du Gubo, who had told her about the incident in the medicinal garden.

So, Dugu Yan knew quite a lot.

"We can't kill him just yet, there's still use for him later. Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities."
