Seeing the seven spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—appear on Wang Tianba's body, Wang Teng immediately felt relieved. He was just a Soul Saint; although he didn't know the exact level, his father was a Soul Douluo, so there was no need to worry about his safety.
As for the few underlings beside him, they were all Soul Emperors, and several of them had rather poor spirit ring configurations—a white first spirit ring and a purple fifth spirit ring.
Wang Chengkun said to Wang Teng, "Teng'er, remember, this world isn't all peace and tranquility; there are plenty of scumbags out there."
Then, Wang Chengkun turned to look at Wang Tianba.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash, trying to rob me!"
His Martial Soul—the Mysterious Heaven Armguard—was released, and eight dazzling spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—appeared on Wang Chengkun's body.
"Soul... Soul Douluo!?"
Instantly, Wang Tianba was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected to rob a Soul Douluo expert this time; had he really run into a brick wall?
A Soul Saint leading several Soul Emperors to rob a Soul Douluo? It's practically suicide! Not only was Wang Tianba dumbfounded, but his underlings were also on the verge of tears. They actually wanted to rob a Soul Douluo expert? They wondered if they'd even have a chance to escape.
At this moment, Wang Tianba's underlings were already thinking about how to run away. After all, a Soul Douluo was no simple opponent. They didn't have a Soul Fusion Technique; a single Soul Saint plus several Soul Emperors against a Soul Douluo was certain death.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Black Tiger True Body!"
Wang Tianba snapped out of his daze and immediately unleashed his Soul True Body. It seemed he couldn't escape, but even knowing he couldn't win, he had to put up a fight. Maybe he'd have a chance to slip away!
As for his companions? Being able to act as a shield for him was an honor for them! After all, underlings were meant to be used in crucial moments!
"Seventh Soul Skill, Profound Iron True Body!"
Seeing the enemy activate their Martial Soul True Body, Wang Chengkun unleashed his ultimate move.Although he could suppress the Deadly Squad even without his Martial Soul True Body, he didn't dare to be careless with Wang Teng by his side, lest something unexpected happen.
"Third Soul Skill: Steel Bones, Fourth Soul Skill: Powerful Fist, Fifth Soul Skill: Overlord Armor."
Wang Teng knew the effects of his father's various soul skills.
The Third Soul Skill: Steel Bones increased attack and defense by 50%.
The Fourth Soul Skill: Powerful Fist increased attack power by 100%.
And the Fifth Soul Skill: Overlord Armor not only increased defense by 100%, but also granted the user an overlord state. While it didn't ignore damage, it prevented the user from being knocked down or launched into the air.
In short, Wang Chengkun's various soul skills embodied the word "reckless"—don't be cowardly, just charge in and fight! With three status-based soul skills stacked on top of each other, Wang Chengkun's aura surged.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Rising Dragon Fist!"
Wang Teng saw his father rush forward and deliver a powerful uppercut to the 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 and then subjected to multiple soul power attacks from Wang Chengkun's Eighth Soul Skill, Rising Dragon Fist.
In just one move, the black tiger true body was shattered. Naturally, Wang Tianba was not in good shape after his Martial Soul True Body was destroyed. With the immense force, he spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and then crashed straight to the ground not far away.
Having taken a powerful hit from the Eighth Soul Skill, Wang Tianba was in a miserable state, instantly killed, and was now barely breathing. He would be dead in no time!
Having dealt with the only Soul Saint in the Deadly Squad, the remaining Soul Emperor underlings were about to make their escape. Unfortunately, Wang Chengkun, who was prepared, wasn't going to let these scumbags get away. In just a few punches and kicks, before Wang Teng could even react, the entire Deadly Squad had fallen to Wang Chengkun's hands.
"Dad's awesome!"
Wang Teng, who had been standing by, immediately flattered him.
"Of course! A few scumbags, that's a piece of cake!"
Hearing his son's praise, Wang Chengkun said smugly. After taking down the other members of the Deadly Squad, Wang Tianba, the leader, who was already on the verge of death, breathed his last. With the enemy defeated, it was time to collect the spoils.
Wang Teng's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward, volunteering to collect the loot.
However... when Wang Teng saw the bloodied corpses, he immediately felt a wave of nausea and vomiting. Although he had seen corpses before, this was the first time Wang Teng had ever seen human corpses.
In the past, when monsters died in dungeons, their corpses would appear, but they would quickly respawn. Since they weren't human, Wang Teng didn't feel any discomfort. However, now that they were his own kind, it was obviously hard to accept.
If Wang Teng hadn't been used to seeing the corpses of dungeon monsters, he might have vomited immediately. Suppressing his discomfort, Wang Teng collected the storage soul tools from the members of the Deadly Squad.
Meanwhile, with his back to Wang Chengkun, Wang Teng took a storage soul tool from his inventory and mixed it into the loot.
Clearly, this contained things Wang Teng couldn't easily take out at the moment: the Radiant Meditation Technique and the Soul Core Condensation Technique.
These two items couldn't be taken out easily, otherwise, there would be no way to explain it. Wang Teng had originally planned to 'accidentally' find a storage soul tool while searching for soul beasts and then naturally hand it over to his father.
However, now that the Deadly Squad had appeared, there was no need to look for another opportunity. He had already added the tampering, and he was sure his father wouldn't know.
As for where the Deadly Squad got those two things, you ask me? How would I know? After all, they were already dead, so there was no way to explain it.
"Here!"
After collecting them, Wang Teng handed all the tampered spoils to his father. Looking at the more than ten storage soul tools that Wang Teng handed over, Wang Chengkun felt even more certain that what he had done before was right.
Storage soul tools weren't particularly rare in the Douluo Continent; basically, any soul master with strength could obtain one, the only difference being the size of the space inside. However, the Deadly Squad possessed more than ten storage soul tools, indicating that there were quite a few culprits involved.
After all, storage soul tools are not like other things; generally, a soul master only needs one. These extra storage soul tools were probably obtained by the Deadly Squad after they committed murder and robbery.
