Chapter 63 Buying Slaves: A Show of Force
Dai Youheng made his decision. "Come with me later. I'll give you hope for revenge. If you still refuse after hearing my conditions, then I'll give you a quick death. Anyway, living like this now is no different from being dead, right?"
Anyway, it's impossible to get Dai Youheng to let Ling Ya go. Even if Ling Ya doesn't agree to be with him, he can't just pay for nothing.
However, the secret of the Yin-Yang Reversal Lotus Seed Pill cannot be revealed here; we can only buy it back first.
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room without waiting for Ling Ya's response, and called over the merchant who was guarding outside.
"This is Lingya. Name your price." Dai Youheng said directly.
The merchant's eyes lit up, and he quickly calculated, "Distinguished guest, you have excellent taste! A fourth-level Soul Master and Soul Grandmaster is a rare talent. Although he may have a fiery temper, he's definitely worth this amount." He held up one finger, then opened his palm, "Six hundred thousand gold soul coins. This is already a discounted price for your first visit."
Dai Youheng showed no intention of haggling and directly took out a Gold Soul Coin Card to complete the transaction. His straightforward attitude made the merchant's smile even brighter.
The transaction was complete. The merchant eagerly handed Dai Youheng a small, black remote control, explaining in a low voice, "Distinguished guest, this is the controller for the collar around his neck. Pressing the red button once will teach him a lesson and make him obey. Holding it down for three seconds will cause an explosion, splattering his brains. Hehe, you know what I mean, just in case."
Dai Youheng took the cold remote control and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it. Then, with the merchant's respectful farewell, he left the underground black market with Ling Ya, who had just been released from his cage but was still wearing shackles and the black collar around his neck, and returned to the Ice Sea City Hotel where he was staying.
He entered the luxurious hotel room and closed the door. Ling Ya stood silently in the center of the room, the shackles making a slight clatter. He looked at Dai Youheng warily, unsure of what awaited him.
Dai Youheng took the remote control out of his pocket, and to Ling Ya's astonishment, casually threw it on the ground, then raised his foot and stomped on it mercilessly!
Snap! Crack!
The exquisite soul tool was instantly crushed to pieces, its parts flying everywhere.
Almost simultaneously, the black collar around Lingya's neck emitted a soft "beep" sound, the indicator light went out completely, and the originally tight buckle loosened, falling onto the soft carpet with a clatter.
With the restraints lifted, the soul power within his body, which had been suppressed by the drugs for a long time, began to gradually recover, like spring snow melting away, flowing to his limbs and bones.
Ling Ya was completely stunned. He subconsciously touched his neck, which had regained its freedom, feeling the long-lost power within him. He looked at the pile of broken remote control fragments on the ground in disbelief, then suddenly looked up at Dai Youheng, who remained calm. His voice trembled with extreme shock and confusion, "You...why?"
"Nothing much, I just find this kind of control method, relying on the threat of electricity and explosions, too low-end and boring." Dai Youheng looked at the fragments of the remote control on the ground, his tone indifferent, as if he had just thrown away a piece of trash. He looked up at the shocked Ling Ya, a playful smile curving his lips. "Besides, with your current level, even if I let you go, do you think you could walk away from me?"
He paused, then chuckled softly, "If you don't believe me, you can try."
Ling Ya, who had regained his freedom and whose soul power was beginning to recover, hardened his expression upon hearing this. He did not believe a single word the nobles said. The previous city lord was two-faced, and even if the one in front of him claimed to be an illegitimate son, he would never trust any nobles again!
The opportunity is right in front of us; we must seize it.
"Let's give it a try!" Ling Ya roared without hesitation.
A loud eagle cry seemed to resonate within him, and an icy blue light instantly enveloped his entire body. His arms transformed into eagle wings covered in cold feathers, his fingers became sharp as hooks, and a chill permeated his entire being.
Four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, suddenly rose from beneath his feet, shimmering with energy fluctuations at the level of a Soul Master.
He knew that the opportunity was fleeting and he had to go all out to subdue or even kill the young nobleman in front of him in order to have any chance of escaping.
His first spirit ring shone brightly, and his speed suddenly increased. Like an arrow released from a bow, he pounced on Dai Youheng, his icy eagle claws aimed straight for Dai Youheng's throat! The sharp wind carried the unique chill of the Ice Feather Eagle spirit, instantly causing the temperature in the room to drop several degrees.
However, faced with this sudden attack that was powerful enough to tear apart metal and stone, Dai Youheng remained standing still, without even releasing his martial spirit.
His eyes were calm and unwavering, but just as the eagle's claws were about to touch his skin, he casually raised his right hand.
There was no glow from the spirit rings, and no earth-shattering burst of spirit power.
He simply raised his hand and spread his five fingers.
The sharp, icy claw force dissipated the moment it touched his palm, as if it had hit an invisible, insurmountable barrier. Dai Youheng's palm pierced through the dissipated cold energy and soul power with unparalleled precision, and the next moment, it had firmly gripped Ling Ya's neck like an iron clamp!
The speed was beyond Lingya's reaction limit!
"Uh...!" Ling Ya's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. He was lifted off the ground by Dai Youheng with one hand. His cold eagle wings flapped weakly a few times. His soul power was instantly suppressed, and a strong feeling of suffocation came over him, filling his face with disbelief and horror.
How could this be? They're both Soul Masters, how could the difference be so great?
The opponent didn't even use his martial spirit; with just a casual grab, he completely dismantled his attack and took control of his life and death.
Dai Youheng looked at Ling Ya, who was struggling in his hand, as if he were looking at a fledgling bird caught in his palm. His tone remained calm and unsettling. "How about it? I can crush your throat with just a little pressure now. Do you want to try?"
"No...it's impossible..." Ling Ya managed to squeeze out a broken voice, his eyes filled with shock, fear, and immense frustration. He couldn't comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
He certainly couldn't understand it. Dai Youheng, this Soul Master, had long surpassed the realm of common sense. Not to mention the two red soul rings hidden beneath the Heavenly Demon Pill of Reversal of Fate, the subtle strengthening of his physical body by the Ice and Fire Lotus Wings external soul bone alone, along with the foundation provided by the Golden Gang Evil-Repelling Body technique, made his physical attributes far exceed those of his peers.
Even Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, and Soul Saints who don't activate their Martial Soul True Body are not as physically powerful as him. So, when dealing with Ling Ya, who has just broken free of his seal and whose soul power has not fully recovered, he naturally has an overwhelming advantage.
