Chapter 26: The popular afterlife (Part 2)
Wang Teng immediately felt relieved as he watched the yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and black seven spirit rings appear on Wang Tianba's body; he was merely a Spirit Saint, and although he did not know the exact rank, his father was a Spirit Douluo, so there was no need to worry about safety.
As for the several underlings beside him, they were all Spirit Emperors, and several of them had very poor spirit ring configurations, with white first spirit rings and purple fifth spirit rings.
Wang Chengkun said to Wang Teng, "Wang Teng, you must remember that this World is not peaceful everywhere; there are plenty of scumbags."
Then, Wang Chengkun turned to look at Wang Tianba.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash, actually trying to rob me!"
His Spirit, the Profound Sky Gauntlet, was released, and eight dazzling spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and black, appeared on Wang Chengkun's body.
"A Spirit... Spirit Douluo!?"
Instantly, Wang Tianba was dumbfounded; he hadn't expected to encounter a Spirit Douluo expert this time, had he hit a steel plate?
A Spirit Saint leading a few Spirit Emperors to rob a Spirit Douluo was simply like an old man eating arsenic—seeking death!
Not only was Wang Tianba dumbfounded, but his underlings were also on the verge of tears, thinking they had actually tried to rob a Spirit Douluo expert? They wondered if they would have a chance to escape later?
At this moment, Wang Tianba's underlings were already contemplating how to escape, as Spirit Douluo-level experts were not that simple; they did not possess a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and a single Spirit Saint plus a few Spirit Emperors facing a Spirit Douluo would undoubtedly lead to certain death.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Black Tiger True Body."
Wang Tianba, who was beside him, snapped back to reality and immediately released his Martial Soul True Body.
After all, it seemed he couldn't escape, but even if he knew he couldn't win, he should at least struggle a bit, right? Maybe there would be a chance to slip away!
As for his companions? It was their honor to serve as his human shields! After all, being an underling meant being sold out at critical moments!
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Profound Iron True Body!"
Seeing the enemy activate his Martial Soul True Body, Wang Chengkun also unleashed his ultimate move.
Although he could suppress the Fatal Squad even without using his Martial Soul True Body, Wang Teng was still a burden beside him, so Wang Chengkun did not dare to be careless, lest any accidents occur.
"Third Spirit Ability: Steel Bones and Iron Skin, Fourth Spirit Ability: Strong Fist, Fifth Spirit Ability: Overlord Armor."
Wang Teng knew the effects of his father's various Spirit Abilities.
The Third Spirit Ability, Steel Bones and Iron Skin, could increase attack and defense by 50%.
The Fourth Spirit Ability, Strong Fist, could increase attack power by 100%.
And the Fifth Spirit Ability, Overlord Armor, not only increased defense by 100% but also put him in an overlord state, which, while not ignoring damage, prevented him from being knocked down or knocked flying.
Simply put, Wang Chengkun's major Spirit Abilities embodied the word 'reckless'—don't be timid, just charge in and fight!
With three state-based Spirit Abilities stacked, Wang Chengkun's aura surged.
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Rising Dragon Fist."
Wang Teng saw his father charge forward rapidly, aiming a powerful uppercut at the lower head of the giant black tiger formed after Wang Tianba released his Martial Soul True Body.
Wang Tianba's massive Black Tiger True Body was lifted into the air, then subjected to multiple spirit power attacks from Wang Chengkun's Eighth Spirit Ability, Rising Dragon Fist.
With just one move, the Black Tiger True Body was shattered.
And with his Martial Soul True Body shattered, Wang Tianba naturally felt terrible, coupled with the immense force, he spat out a large mouthful of blood in mid-air and then fell straight onto the ground not far away.
Having taken a powerful and heavy Eighth Spirit Ability, Wang Tianba was utterly miserable, instantly killed, and at this moment, he was taking in more air than he was letting out.
He would be dead in a moment!
After dealing with the Fatal Squad's only Spirit Saint, the remaining Spirit Emperor underlings were about to escape.
Unfortunately, Wang Chengkun, who had been prepared, did not intend to let these scumbags go; in just a few punches and kicks, before Wang Teng could even react, the entire Fatal Squad was taken down by Wang Chengkun.
"Dad is mighty!"
Wang Teng, who was just watching from the sidelines, immediately flattered him.
"Of course! A few mere scumbags, that's nothing, isn't it?"
Hearing his son's praise, Wang Chengkun began to speak proudly.
After eliminating the other members of the Fatal Squad, Wang Tianba, as the leader, who was already on the verge of death, also took his last breath.
With the enemies dealt with, it was naturally time to collect the spoils of war.
With a glint in his eye, Wang Teng thought of something and immediately stepped forward, volunteering to collect the spoils.
However, when Wang Teng stepped forward and saw the bloody corpses, he immediately felt unwell, and a wave of nausea and vomiting arose.
Although he had seen corpses before, this was Wang Teng's first time seeing human corpses.
After all, when monsters died in vice copies before, although corpses would appear, the monster corpses would quickly refresh, and since they were not human, Wang Teng naturally felt no discomfort.
But now that it was his own kind, it was clearly difficult to accept for a while.
If Wang Teng hadn't been accustomed to seeing the corpses of vice copy monsters before, he might have started vomiting immediately.
Suppressing his discomfort, Wang Teng collected the storage spirit tools from the members of the Fatal Squad.
During this time, Wang Teng also turned his back to Wang Chengkun and took out a storage spirit tool from his own inventory, placing it among the spoils.
Evidently, this contained items that Wang Teng currently found inconvenient to reveal; this storage spirit tool contained the Radiance Meditation and the Soul Core Condensation Method.
These two items were difficult to produce without explanation; originally, Wang Teng had planned to 'accidentally' pick up a storage spirit tool while searching for Spirit Beasts and naturally hand it over to his father.
However, since the Fatal Squad appeared, there was no need to find another opportunity; he had added something, and he believed his father would definitely not know.
As for where the Fatal Squad got these two things, if you ask me, how would I know? After all, the people were already dead, so it naturally couldn't be explained.
"Here!"
After collecting them, Wang Teng handed all the doctored spoils directly to his father.
Looking at the more than ten storage spirit tools Wang Teng handed over, Wang Chengkun increasingly felt that what he had done earlier was correct.
Storage spirit tools were not particularly precious items on the Douluo Continent; basically, any Spirit Master with strength could obtain one, the only difference being the size of the space inside.
However, the Fatal Squad having over ten storage spirit tools indicated that a considerable number of dark deeds had been committed.
After all, storage spirit tools were not like other things; generally, a Spirit Master only needed one. These extra storage spirit tools were probably obtained by the Fatal Squad after killing people and plundering their goods.
