Chapter 366 - 63

Chapter 63 Buying Slaves to Show OffDai Youheng made his decision. "Follow me later. I will give you a hope for revenge. If you still refuse after hearing my conditions, then I will give you a quick end. Anyway, living like this now is no different from being dead, right?"It was impossible for Dai Youheng to let Ling Ya go; even if Ling Ya didn't agree to follow him, his money couldn't be spent in vain.But the secret of the Yin-Yang Fate Reversal Lotus Seed Pill couldn't be revealed here, so he could only buy him first.After speaking, he didn't wait for Ling Ya's response, turned and walked out of the room, and called the merchant waiting outside."Just this Ling Ya. Name your price." Dai Youheng was straightforward.The merchant's eyes lit up, and he quickly calculated, "Esteemed guest has good taste! A Level 4 Soul Engineer and Spirit Ancestor, this is a rare talent. Although he's a bit fiery, he's definitely worth this much." He extended a finger, then opened his palm, "Six hundred thousand gold coins. This is already a discounted price, considering it's your first visit."Dai Youheng had no intention of bargaining, directly taking out his gold soul coin card to complete the transaction. His straightforward attitude made the merchant's smile even brighter.With the transaction complete, the merchant obsequiously handed a small black remote control to Dai Youheng, explaining in a low voice, "Esteemed guest, this is the controller for the collar around his neck. Press the red button once to make him suffer and obey. Press and hold for three seconds, and it will explode, splattering his brains. Heh heh, you understand, just in case."Dai Youheng took the cold remote control, tucked it into his pocket without even looking at it. Then, under the merchant's respectful send-off, he took Ling Ya, who had just been released from his cage but was still in shackles and wearing the black collar around his neck, and left the underground black market, returning to his hotel in Ice Sea City.Entering the luxurious hotel room, Dai Youheng closed the door. Ling Ya stood silently in the center of the room, his shackles making a slight sound. He watched Dai Youheng warily, unsure of what awaited him.Dai Youheng took the remote control from his pocket and, to Ling Ya's astonishment, casually threw it on the ground. Then, he raised his foot and mercilessly stomped down hard!Crack! Pop!The exquisite spirit tool was instantly crushed, its parts scattering.Almost simultaneously, the black collar around Ling Ya's neck emitted a faint "beep" sound, its indicator light completely extinguished, and the tightly fastened clasp loosened, clattering onto the soft carpet.With the restraints removed, the spirit power that had been suppressed by drugs for a long time began to gradually recover, like melting spring snow, flowing through his limbs and bones.Ling Ya was completely stunned. He instinctively touched his now free neck, feeling the long-lost sense of power within him. Then, he looked incredulously at the fragments of the remote control on the ground, finally raising his head sharply to look at the calm-faced Dai Youheng, his voice trembling from extreme shock and confusion. "You... why?""Nothing, I just find this method of control, relying on electric currents and explosions, too low-end and boring." Dai Youheng looked at the fragments of the remote control on the ground, his tone flat, as if he had just discarded a piece of trash. He looked up at the shocked Ling Ya, a playful curve on his lips. "Besides, with your current level, even if I let you go, do you think you can escape from me?"He paused, chuckling, "If you don't believe me, you can try."Ling Ya, who had regained his freedom and whose spirit power was beginning to recover, hardened his expression upon hearing this. He didn't believe a single word from nobles. That previous city lord was also two-faced, and even if this person in front of him claimed to be a bastard, he would never trust any noble again!The opportunity was right in front of him; he had to seize it."I'll try if you say so!" Ling Ya roared, without the slightest hesitation.A clear eagle cry seemed to echo within him, and ice-blue light instantly covered his entire body. His arms transformed into eagle wings covered with cold feathers, his fingers became sharp as hooks, and a chilling aura permeated his surroundings.Four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, suddenly rose from beneath his feet, radiating the energy fluctuations of a Spirit Ancestor.He knew that he only had a fleeting chance and had to go all out, subdue or even kill this young noble in front of him, to truly escape.His first spirit ring lit up, and his speed surged. Like an arrow loosed from a bow, he lunged at Dai Youheng, his icy eagle claws aimed directly at Dai Youheng's throat! The sharp gust of wind, carrying the unique chill of the Ice Feather Eagle Spirit, instantly dropped the room's temperature by several degrees.However, facing this sudden attack, powerful enough to tear through metal and stone, Dai Youheng remained standing in place, showing no intention of even releasing his Spirit.His eyes were calm and unruffled. It was only at the moment the eagle claws were about to touch his skin that he casually raised his right hand.There was no glow of spirit rings, no earth-shattering burst of spirit power.Just a simple raise of his hand, fingers splayed.The fierce, icy claw strike, upon contact with his palm, instantly disintegrated as if it had hit an invisible, insurmountable barrier. Dai Youheng's palm pierced through the dissipating chill and spirit power with precise accuracy, and the next moment, it had clamped firmly around Ling Ya's neck like an iron vice!The speed was beyond Ling Ya's reaction limit!"Ugh...!" All of Ling Ya's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. He was lifted off the ground by Dai Youheng's single hand, his icy eagle wings fluttering weakly a few times. His spirit power was instantly suppressed, and an intense sensation of suffocation overwhelmed him, filling his face with incredulous horror.How could this be? They were both Spirit Ancestors, how could the gap be so enormous?The other party hadn't even used his Spirit, yet with just a casual grab, he had completely neutralized his attack and controlled his life and death?Dai Youheng looked at Ling Ya struggling in his hand, like a fledgling bird caught in his grasp, his tone still carrying that chilling calmness. "How is it? I just need to exert a little pressure with my hand, and I can crush your throat. Do you still need to try?""No... impossible..." Ling Ya squeezed out fragmented sounds from his throat, his eyes filled with shock, fear, and immense frustration. He completely failed to comprehend what was happening before him.Of course, he couldn't understand. Dai Youheng, as a Spirit Ancestor, had long surpassed the realm of common sense. Not to mention the two red spirit rings hidden beneath the fate reversal heavenly demon pill, just the subtle physical enhancement from the ice fire lotus wings external Spirit Bone and the foundation provided by the Golden Adamant Evil Warding Body cultivation method made his physical quality far superior to others at the same rank.Even Spirit Kings, Spirit Emperors, and even Spirit Saints who didn't activate their Spirit Avatar couldn't compare to him physically. Dealing with Ling Ya, who had just had his seal removed and whose spirit power hadn't fully recovered, naturally gave him an overwhelming advantage.
