Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 310: The Fall of the Duke's Mansion

Today, the officers and soldiers who witnessed the events will deeply engrave them in their memories. Not because they think it's worth remembering, but because they can't forget. Many times, they will wake up in the middle of the night, haunted by nightmares of a devil-like purple figure wielding a giant scythe, harvesting their lives as if mowing grass. Huo Dongxue is destined to become their unshakable nightmare. A powerful surge of soul power erupted from Huo Dongxue, boosting her aura significantly.

After the fall of Mingdu Mountains, Yuming City was chosen as the first line of defense against the Sun Moon Empire's invasion. The civilians had already been evacuated, leaving only soul masters and soldiers—either those with cultivation or those robust enough to withstand pressures.

After Huo Dongxue devoured the souls and essence of forty percent of the soldiers and officers in Yuming City, her soul level surged from level 95 to 97. The terrified human souls also significantly boosted her power. Most notably, her ninth soul ring, previously black tinged with red and nearing ten thousand years, turned completely red, indicating it had reached a hundred thousand years. Saving up slowly wasn't as fast as taking directly from others.

"Annoying flies have been swatted. You're next, Dai Hao!" Huo Dongxue appeared above a large pit, looking down at Dai Hao, who was ragged and in pain at the bottom, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "I'm taking you home now, to watch your ruin!"

She grabbed Dai Hao by the hair, lifting him like a dead dog, and flew towards Star Luo City. Meanwhile, the news of Dai Hao being hunted by his daughter and the catastrophic defense losses in Yuming City spread across the continent through the retreating officers and soldiers, though not as fast as Huo Dongxue's flight.

Star Luo City. The White Tiger Duke's residence, a lineage that had lasted over ten thousand years and once royalty, occupied nearly two-thirds of an imperial palace in terms of area, and its luxury rivaled the palace itself. Situated in Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire, the vast estate underscored the White Tiger Duke's immense influence over the millennia.

But today, this lineage met its end.

Huo Dongxue hovered above the Duke's mansion, her level 97 soul master's oppressive soul power enveloping the entire estate. Servants without cultivation died instantly. Those weaker than Soul Honor suffered from blood loss due to soul force pressure, their organs failing under the strain.

With her power almost at the brink of madness, Huo Dongxue returned to the White Tiger Duke's mansion not as the weak child she once was but as a powerhouse capable of overturning it.

 "How dare you disrupt the White Tiger Duke's mansion!" Several figures flew from the depths of the mansion, their soul rings shining as they confronted Huo Dongxue.

Two decrepit Title Douluos with white hair and a mixture of middle-aged to elderly Soul Douros and Soul Saints faced her.

Among them, Huo Dongxue recognized two people: Dai Yueheng and the duchess. When Xuan Zi destroyed Shrek Academy, Dai Yueheng had graduated and luckily escaped death, which is why he was here now.

As Huo Dongxue assessed them, they also recognized Dai Hao in her grasp. "Dai Hao?!" the two Title Douluos exclaimed in shock.

"What? The Duke?!" the Soul Douros and Soul Saints also looked towards Huo Dongxue in disbelief. The duchess and Dai Yueheng stared at Huo Dongxue with venomous anger.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking the White Tiger Duke?" one of the Title Douluos asked, barely containing his rage.

"No matter who you are, put him down. Otherwise, there will be no place for you in the entire Star Luo Empire, no, the entire Douluo Continent!" the duchess shrieked. Huo Dongxue laughed scornfully, her disdain clear.

"Anxious? Don't worry, you're next." She casually released Dai Hao from the Infernal Hell state, and with a few slashes of her Rakshasa Scythe, she severed his limbs. Dai Hao, freshly awakened from his nightmare, screamed in agony.

Huo Dongxue frowned, tossed her scythe to pin Dai Hao by the neck, and suspended him in the air.

"Why are you barking like a dog? Shut up, it's annoying!" Dai Hao turned pale, his breath weak, sweating profusely from the excruciating pain of his severed limbs.

Most critically, Dai Hao had lost three soul bones.

Everyone knew that soul bones could not be removed unless the soul master died (which is nonsense).

 A Title Douluo could remove limb soul bones, but it meant permanently dropping ten soul levels. Dai Hao's level plummeted from 95 to 65, and his first three soul rings shattered.

"Father—!" Dai Yueheng saw his father reduced to a mere human stick and lost all sense of reason, charging at Huo Dongxue.

White Tiger True Body! White Tiger Body Shield, White Tiger Diamond Transformation, White Tiger Demon God Transformation—White Tiger Annihilation Strike! Dai Yueheng displayed the excellence of a Shrek Inner Court disciple, his soul skills smoothly transitioning.

 Everyone was shocked by Huo Dongxue's ruthlessness, and before they knew it, Dai Yueheng was already attacking her.

The dying Dai Hao saw Dai Yueheng's futile effort, and with the last of his strength, he roared, "Yueheng, don't come over! Run—" Dai Yueheng realized too late that he couldn't withstand someone who could defeat Dai Hao, but his soul skills were already in motion, and he couldn't stop them.

He could only watch as his claws approached Huo Dongxue. Huo Dongxue coldly watched Dai Yueheng, not even bothering to defend.

She seemed so careless that Dai Yueheng felt a sliver of hope. Idiot! How dare you underestimate me! Even if you are a Title Douluo, under my full-powered White Tiger Annihilation Strike, boosted by three layers of my martial soul true body, you'll have to peel off a layer of skin! Boom— The White Tiger Annihilation Strike was blocked by a faint purple shield just a meter from Huo Dongxue, barely rippling under the attack, solid and unyielding.

The next second, a deep purple light flashed. Dai Yueheng's head exploded like a watermelon!
