Chapter 16: The Po Jun Star Position Activated, Unleashing the Ultimate Will to Destroy
To find the truth behind that murder, to find the enemy who killed his father and destroyed everything he had! He needs to become stronger!
However, since he couldn't cultivate his soul power, he could only buy forbidden drugs that could temporarily boost his strength. Therefore, he needed money, lots and lots of money!
Fragments of memory began to emerge suddenly and uncontrollably: I remembered the scene in the border military town where my father, wearing the uniform of a junior officer, was carrying me on his shoulders with a smile;
I recall the scene late at night in the study, when my father looked at the lists of military equipment, his face ashen, and said, "This is treason."
I recall the scene on the execution ground where my father was falsely accused of treason and died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
There's also the scene of his mother hanging herself, and his personal guards risking their lives to save her...
For so many years, I've been forced to live in anonymity, humbly like a rat in a sewer...
Hatred burned in his heart like an inextinguishable poisonous fire, day and night!
"Tiger, this is your bonus for tonight." Soon, a one-eyed manager threw over a dirty money bag containing ten gold soul coins, a much lower amount than previously agreed upon.
Yang Lie casually took it, not bothering to dwell on the other person's breach of rules, after all, this wasn't the first time! He didn't even look at it, and turned to walk towards the exit.
"Wait." The one-eyed man quickly stopped him, then whispered in his ear, "Someone offered me a price to help deliver a message. They want to see you in the backyard of the blacksmith's shop. They have information about the truth of your father's past."
Upon hearing this, Yang Lie abruptly stopped, a terrifying glint flashing in his eyes. His gaze turned bloodshot as he stared at the one-eyed man and demanded, "Who is it?"
"I don't know, but I've delivered the message anyway." After saying that, the one-eyed man turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Yang Lie gripped the money pouch tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
He knew this was very likely a trap set for him, but he had waited for this day for too long. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he was determined to go!
At midnight, in the abandoned old blacksmith shop on West Street, far from the hustle and bustle of the black market, only the mournful sound of the night wind blowing through the dilapidated eaves could be heard.
Yang Lie gripped his iron spear and silently slipped into the backyard. The yard was almost entirely filled with rusty scrap iron, clearly indicating that it had been abandoned for a long time!
"You've finally arrived!" Three figures emerged from the shadows, all dressed in black and masked. The leader was tall and thin, and three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—were slowly rising from his feet; he was a Soul Master!
The other two were also Great Soul Masters with two yellow soul rings, so it was clear that the other party had no good intentions!
"Among those who slandered and murdered my father, you were one of them, weren't you?" Yang Lie said in a hoarse voice, the chilling killing intent in his eyes beginning to boil.
"Yang Lie, the only son of Commandant Yang." The Soul Master at the head of the group said coldly, "Your father was ungrateful and blocked our path to wealth; he deserved to die! As for you, since you've already escaped, you should have lived like a rat in hiding. Why did you insist on showing your face in Notting City and asking around about what happened back then?"
He then said no more, waving his hand at the two men behind him and saying, "Kill them, and remember to clean them up thoroughly."
Upon receiving the order, the two Great Soul Masters pounced on Yang Lie from the left and right, their blades flashing fiercely, completely blocking all his escape routes.
Yang Lie roared, and then his iron spear shot out like a venomous dragon, aiming straight for the throat of the man on the left. It was still his style of fighting, trading injury for life! He didn't care whether he would be stabbed or not; all he wanted was for his opponent to die!
puff!puff!
The Great Soul Master on the left slashed Yang Lie's left shoulder with his sword, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone, while Yang Lie's iron spear pierced through his throat!
At the same time, the Great Soul Master on the right also slashed at the back of Yang Lie's neck with his blade. This familiar scene was almost the same as the situation when he fought the two bloodthirsty tigers two hours ago, but Yang Lie's condition was far worse now!
Old wounds haven't healed, and new ones have appeared! Every time I draw my gun, I feel a tearing pain in my wounds!
At this critical moment, Yang Lie suddenly twisted his body at an incredible angle, and swept his iron spear back to deflect the fatal blow. Then, he launched a counterattack and plunged it straight into the opponent's heart!
In the blink of an eye, the two Great Soul Masters were stabbed to death in the courtyard because they were too careless!
Yang Lie had no time to be happy, because he knew that the real killing move was about to come.
The Soul Master moved, his third Soul Ring lighting up instantly. His five fingers formed a claw, aiming straight for Yang Lie's heart! This attack, imbued with the full power of a Soul Master, was enough to pierce through Yang Lie's chest!
Yang Lie's pupils shrank sharply. He couldn't block it or dodge it. An aura of death instantly rushed towards him.
Am I going to die here? I'm so unwilling... I haven't avenged my parents yet... Father and Mother, your child is powerless, I'm coming to see you now...!
However, the expected strike did not occur. Just as the eagle's claws were about to touch the boy's body, a calm voice suddenly rang out.
"Certainly!"
With a command given, time seemed to stand still. The Soul Venerable's claw, which he was determined to strike, stopped half a foot away from Yang Lie's chest, unable to advance any further.
Yang Lie turned his head with difficulty and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that there was a person in the shadow of the courtyard wall. A young man wearing an old gray robe was leaning lazily against the wall, playing with a piece of rusty iron in his hand.
The young man looked at Yang Lie, his gaze lingering on the iron spear in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He said, "Your aptitude is quite good, and your killing intent is strong enough, but unfortunately… you've gone astray!"
"Who are you?!" Yang Lie endured the sharp pain in his shoulder, gripping the iron spear tightly with both hands, and stared at the young man in front of him with a wary expression!
To be able to subdue a Soul Master so silently, the opponent's strength must be unfathomable.
"Just passing by, might as well pick up a disciple." Lin Mu smiled, then pointed his finger in the air.
A bloodstain appeared between the brows of the Soul Master, and then he fell straight down, lifeless.
Instant kill! Yang Lie couldn't help but gasp.
Lin Mu's gaze fell on Yang Lie again, and he slowly said, "Your gun only has killing intent, not soul. If you want revenge, relying on brute force and hatred alone, you probably won't even see your enemy's face."
"Learn from me, and I will teach you how to refine your combat skills into the 'Breaking Army' spear spirit. I will make the spear in your hand truly possess the power to shatter mountains and quell injustice."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand, palm facing upwards, and a wisp of purplish-red aura, condensed to the extreme, appeared. The aura was filled with destruction, annihilation, and an indomitable will, which caused the iron spear in Yang Lie's hand to tremble and resonate slightly.
Yang Lie stared intently at that aura, then looked into Lin Mu's unfathomable eyes. He sensed a power far beyond his imagination emanating from this man, as well as a "Dao" that could control the violent and destructive desire within him.
"Can you really... let me get revenge?" Yang Lie's voice was slightly hoarse.
"Of course, but if you live only for the obsession with revenge, then I don't think we're a good match!" Lin Mu said calmly. He didn't want his disciple to be such a soulless person!
Yang Lie fell silent.
After a long silence, he released the gun, knelt heavily on the cold, gravelly ground, and swore, "Disciple Yang Lie is willing to follow Master, learn the gun of killing, and avenge the blood feud! I dedicate this body and this life to Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the [Innate Dao Diagram] in the depths of Lin Mu's mind trembled violently! Located beside "Thick Earth" and "Geng Metal", the third star, "Po Jun Star", which represents killing, destruction, and charging into battle, suddenly burst out with a dark red and fierce light!
