Chapter 2 Desperate Situation! The Suddenly Appearing Green-Haired Old Man
Ye Linyuan suddenly turned around.
All that could be seen was the once empty courtyard.
Suddenly, a masked man in black appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing the other person's attire, even the naive Ye Youlan knew something was wrong.
She instinctively stepped in front of Ye Linyuan, nervously asking, "Who...who are you?"
The man in black looked at the two of them like a cat toying with mice: "Guess who I am?"
Ye Linyuan stared intently at him: "Did the Duchess send you to kill us?"
The man in black was slightly taken aback, staring at Ye Linyuan: "Interesting, this little bastard is quite clever?"
Ye Youlan's body trembled, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face. She murmured, "Duchess...this is impossible..."
"I have already said that I only want my family to be together and I will not compete with her for the dukedom."
"Hmph, foolish!" the man in black sneered. "A lowly maidservant, nothing more than a plaything for the master in his spare time, dares to dream of returning to the Duke's mansion?"
At this point, the man in black paused and looked at Ye Linyuan: "But speaking of which, it's truly unbelievable that you were able to awaken a mutated twin martial soul and have innate full soul power."
"If it were just a trash martial soul, Madam might spare your life."
"But you have twin martial souls and innate full soul power..." The man in black shook his head. "Kid, blame your talent for being too dazzling."
Ye Linyuan's face turned ugly, and his heart sank even further.
The other party only sent one person, clearly indicating they were absolutely confident in dealing with the mother and child.
Even Soul Masters rarely see this desolate mountain village.
Even after living two lives, he still couldn't think of a way to save himself.
Just then.
"Yuan'er, run!" Ye Youlan suddenly shouted and pushed Ye Linyuan behind her.
Then, he raised the Black Tiger Dagger and lunged at the man in black.
A mocking glint flashed in the man's eyes.
A powerful surge of soul energy erupted from his body.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black—a total of five spirit rings quietly appeared.
Ye Linyuan was pushed backward by his mother and flew out.
Upon seeing the spirit ring configuration on the man in black, his pupils contracted sharply.
Soul King!
No wonder they are so fearless!
The man in black raised his hand and pointed forward lightly. A cold, black spear suddenly appeared from the void and shot towards Ye Youlan.
"Mother!" Ye Linyuan felt a chill in his heart as he stood in mid-air.
Stab it!
The spear pierced Ye Youlan's chest in an instant, pinning her to the spot like an executioner!
Ye Youlan spat out a mouthful of blood, and with all her strength turned her head to look at her stunned son.
Her eyes were filled with despair and guilt, and blood-tinged foam uncontrollably gushed from her mouth.
"Yuan'er, I'm sorry, I..."
"Run...run fast..."
Ye Linyuan's mind went blank.
As if they had gone deaf, all the sounds around them vanished in an instant.
His eyes were only on the poor woman whose chest had been pierced by a spear.
As a transmigrator with memories of his past life, to be honest, he didn't have particularly deep feelings for this mother.
But after six years of living together day and night, he had long since grown accustomed to Ye Youlan's presence.
And to be honest, this young mother was really good to him.
She was gentle, kind, and simple-minded, and took meticulous care of him.
But... in the end, he was ruined by his love-struck mind!
Ye Linyuan stared intently at the man in black, seemingly frozen in fear.
run?
How do I run?
Facing a five-ring Soul King, how could a child who had just awakened his martial soul possibly outrun his opponent?
Am I going to die?
Ye Linyuan's eyes were as cold as black holes.
He never imagined that he would travel through time for six years and even awaken the most outstanding talent.
In the end, they didn't even have the chance to grow, and they died inexplicably in this desolate village!
The man in black walked to Ye Youlan's side and pulled out the spear with a "snap".
He didn't even bother to glance at it before casually tossing it away.
With a muffled thud, as if throwing away trash, Ye Youlan's corpse was carelessly tossed to the ground.
The man in black cast a mocking glance at Ye Linyuan: "Boy, that lowly servant told you to run, why didn't you run?"
Ye Linyuan remained silent, his fists slowly clenching.
Finally, he exhaled and grinned self-deprecatingly: "I never imagined I would die so pathetically."
"It's a pity that if I had pressed my mother for answers sooner, things wouldn't have dragged on to this desperate situation."
The boy stared calmly at the man in black: "Make your move."
"If I could be reborn, I would make the White Tiger Duke pay back today's debt with interest."
The man in black was stunned.
He had imagined countless possible reactions from Ye Linyuan:
Pain, fear, collapse, begging for mercy... but I never expected it to be like this.
Meeting Ye Linyuan's cold and silent gaze, an indescribable sense of unease welled up from the depths of his heart, even making him feel a chill down his spine.
Is this really the look a six-year-old child should have?
The look in the eyes of a child who witnesses his mother die before his very eyes?
If he were to grow up, what kind of retaliation would the White Tiger Duke's Mansion suffer?
The moment this thought unconsciously popped into the man in black's mind, he couldn't help but shiver.
As a chill ran through him, his gaze suddenly turned fierce.
"Kid, you're out of luck."
"May you be reborn into a better family in your next life!"
The black spear transformed into a bolt of lightning, plunging fiercely towards Ye Linyuan's head.
Ye Linyuan sighed softly and closed his eyes resignedly.
however.
The expected sensation of a cold spear did not appear in his mind.
"Hey, interesting. A Soul King sneaks into a remote village to kill a village girl and a baby."
"Tell me, what's the story behind this?"
Ye Linyuan suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look.
An old man was walking leisurely towards him, his hands behind his back, looking at him with great interest.
The old man was tall, with long, unconventional dark green hair cascading down his back.
What's funny is that he has no hair on his head at all, so clean it's as if you're looking down at the Mediterranean Sea from above the Earth.
His skin was as rosy as a baby's, and his face had very few wrinkles.
The only thing that reveals his age is the vicissitudes hidden in his dark green eyes, the result of at least a century of accumulated experience.
The cold tip of the spear was less than a centimeter away from Ye Linyuan's brow.
The man in black, holding the spear, seemed to be held firmly in place by an invisible force.
My whole body was trembling slightly, but I couldn't move at all.
His pupils contracted instantly, his eyes widened in shock, and he glanced at the green-haired old man out of the corner of his eye.
"Who...who are you?"
The old man glanced at him with amusement, then suddenly snorted coldly and ripped off the black cloth covering his face.
"I've always hated cowardly rats. Tell me, why did you kill this child?"
Ye Linyuan stared blankly at the green-haired man with a receding hairline.
How strong must this old man be to be able to control a Soul King silently?
Hmm? Wait a minute!
A green-haired, balding old man with terrifying strength?
hiss--
No way, could it be him?!
