Chapter 57 No Mistake in Killing.
Ouyang Yindang roared at Huo Yuhao with a ferocious look in his eyes, his voice full of threat and warning.
"Heh, so you're a member of the royal family. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant." Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with undiminished killing intent. His gaze pierced through Ouyang Yindang's eyes like a sharp sword, pointing directly at his inner cowardice and fear.
"Today, no matter if you are the prince's cousin, or even if you are the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, I will kill you without hesitation!" Huo Yuhao's words revealed an undeniable determination. His hand gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, the tip of which gleamed with a cold light.
In Huo Yuhao's eyes, the so-called royal family was no different from ordinary people. After all, he had assassinated Xu Tianran, the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, before he became a god. He had no respect for the royal family, let alone a mere member of the royal family.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's treasonous words, Ouyang Yindang's face showed disbelief. His eyes widened, like two crystal-clear glass balls, completely unable to believe that this young man before him would have such audacity to challenge the authority of the royal family.
Normally, if he mentioned his maternal uncle's name, almost everyone would immediately treat him with utmost respect. After all, who was his maternal uncle? He was the younger brother of Emperor Xueye, a prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
But what gives this kid the right to do this? Doesn't he know the absolute authority that imperial power represents? He even dares to boast that he'll cut down Emperor Xueye as well—it's utterly lawless!
However, Ouyang Yindang's surprise didn't last long. Huo Yuhao's movements were as fast as lightning; the sword in his hand, like a cold light, accurately sliced across Ouyang Yindang's neck. In that instant, a bone-chilling coldness spread rapidly from the sword wound throughout Ouyang Yindang's body, as if a cold aura of death was raging within him.
In just one second, Ouyang Yindang's body lost all warmth and vitality. His skin turned pale, and he became like an ice sculpture, stiff and lifeless. His eyes still held fear and confusion, but life had already slipped away.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ouyang Yindang, now an ice sculpture, without the slightest pity. He waved his hand lightly, and an invisible force stored the ice sculpture in his personal storage soul tool. Then, his gaze turned to the corpses of Ouyang Yindang's subordinates around him.
Huo Yuhao swung his sword again, unleashing gusts of icy air that froze his subordinates into ice sculptures. Each ice sculpture was lifelike, as if time itself had been frozen in that moment. Huo Yuhao calmly stored each ice sculpture into his storage soul tool.
After dealing with everything, Huo Yuhao looked around to make sure no trace was left. He waved his hand lightly, and a small ice storm suddenly swept through the alley. The storm engulfed the entire alley, completely erasing the bloodstains, footprints, and even the smell in the air, as if nothing had ever happened.
After doing all this, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction. He took the hands of the two little girls, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, and quietly left the alley, heading towards Tianshui Academy. The aura of the Soul Saint who had been protecting the Shui Bing'er sisters in the shadows had also disappeared.
"Bing'er, Yue'er, you must not tell anyone about what happened today, understand?" Huo Yuhao said seriously to the two sisters as soon as they returned to the dormitory.
To be honest, Huo Yuhao wasn't particularly concerned about the Heaven Dou royal family's revenge. After all, he had Gu Yuena's Achilles' heel around his neck, the Ice Emperor was in his undead space, and Elder Yi had already awakened. No one in the world could kill him except for a god-level being. Therefore, his biggest worry wasn't his own safety, but rather the safety of the two sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
Huo Yuhao was terrified that the royal family might uncover even the slightest clue, putting the Shui sisters in danger. He knew the royal family's power was immense, and the consequences of discovering any lead would be unimaginable. Therefore, he had to ensure that everything that happened today was kept completely secret.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the Shui sisters nodded like quails, their eyes filled with understanding and support. Even without Huo Yuhao's reminder, they would never have revealed it; after all, they weren't fools. They also knew that revealing certain secrets could bring unpredictable dangers to them and Huo Yuhao.
"Don't worry, Brother Yuhao, if anyone asks about today, I'll just say we spent the whole day shopping and I don't know anything else," Shui Bing'er said earnestly to Huo Yuhao.
Shuiyue followed closely behind, saying in a soft voice, "That's right, Brother Yuhao, don't worry. Today was just an ordinary day for us, nothing special happened."
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the two sisters' witty reply.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and nodded. If the truth really came out, Huo Yuhao would definitely protect Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er and not let them suffer any harm.
Then, Huo Yuhao took out an exquisite token from his pocket, a token that Shui Bing'er had given him earlier. Huo Yuhao carefully examined the token, then turned to Shui Bing'er and asked curiously, "By the way, Bing'er, do you know how this token you gave your brother was made?"
Huo Yuhao had originally planned to inquire about the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Marrow in a few days, but today's events forced him to act sooner. He knew he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible because he didn't want to be able to rely on others when faced with danger.
Huo Yuhao always believed that only his own strength was the most reliable guarantee, and only by constantly improving himself could he protect the people and things he cherished in the future.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question, the two sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes. They then shook their heads, indicating that they did not know the material of the token.
Shui Bing'er pondered for a moment, then said to Huo Yuhao, "These tokens were all made by my mother. I guess my mother should know the materials used in these tokens. Brother Yuhao, if you want to know how these tokens were made, I can take you to my mother right now."
Upon hearing Shui Bing'er's words, Huo Yuhao's face immediately lit up with excitement: "Really? Then let's go right away." His voice was full of anticipation and curiosity.
Shui Bing'er nodded gently, a determined light shining in her clear eyes. Then, she led Shui Yue'er and Huo Yuhao, walking briskly towards the office building. Along the way, Shui Bing'er began to explain the affairs of Tianshui Academy to Huo Yuhao in detail, and Huo Yuhao listened attentively.
"Actually, Tianshui Academy was founded by my grandparents. Now, the academy has been successfully handed over to my parents, and it has a history of more than forty years since its establishment. Moreover, my grandparents, parents, and all of them are Soul Douluo-level powerhouses!"
