Chapter 47: Wrath of the Toad Emperor

The blue-green liquid was the ultimate toad venom, awakened through the fusion of Meng Hongchen's Ice Toad bloodline with Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice martial soul, unleashing the power of a complete divine-beast bloodline.

What made this poison terrifying was that, once it entered the victim's body, it didn't just cause unbearable pain—leaving them trapped between life and death—it also placed their fate entirely in the hands of the one who administered the poison.

This was the martial soul fusion technique performed by Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen, controlled by Meng Hongchen herself: Wrath of the Toad Emperor.

Its effect was similar to Huo Yuhao's enhanced Perpetual Ice Domain, freezing the entire field. But in this case, every shard of ice contained the deadly cold venom, ready to invade any frozen target at will.

Huo Yuhao had wanted to take control of the fusion ability himself, but the gap in soul power between him and Meng Hongchen was still too great.

'It's fine. Once I'm strong enough, I'll be the one leading… not her, the martial soul fusion,' he thought.

After being hit with the venom, the Netherworld White Tiger's fusion was immediately broken. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu reappeared on the battlefield.

Zhu Lu had already passed out from the searing pain, but Dai Huabin was still standing through sheer willpower. The venom brought two outcomes: excruciating agony and guaranteed death. Once it took hold, there was no saving the victim.

Through the torment, Dai Huabin stood up. Shrek Academy had already lost, but he refused to accept defeat. He still believed there was a chance.

His determined charge forward brought tears to his father Dai Hao's eyes atop the imperial wall, and to the eyes of Shrek's team.

To everyone's surprise, the divine toad phantom from the fusion didn't strike while he was weak. Instead, it dissipated. Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen appeared again on the platform.

Such a powerful martial soul fusion ability naturally consumed a lot of energy. Both Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen felt a bit drained, but only slightly.

Meng Hongchen looked to Huo Yuhao for direction. He said nothing, just nodded firmly, then stepped forward alone to face the struggling Dai Huabin, leaving Meng Hongchen behind.

Dai Huabin was at his limit. The pain shattered his concentration. His vision wavered in and out.

Through the haze, he saw Huo Yuhao raise a short purple dagger—something that filled him with unspeakable dread.

His steps faltered. 'What is that…?'

As fear and pain gripped him, Huo Yuhao's face drew closer, step by step. Dai Huabin's fading mind suddenly snapped awake.

He remembered who this was.

The realization struck like lightning. Shock filled his heart. 'No… it can't be. It's impossible! Why? Why does he get to stand in front of me, looking so damn smug?!'

Rage erupted within him. His steps quickened. He forced his soul power to ignite through the pain.

'I must defeat him. I won't lose. Not to that bastard!'

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Dai Huabin screamed as he charged forward.

"Full of openings," Huo Yuhao said flatly.

He easily sidestepped Dai Huabin's clumsy punch and drove the Blade of Birth and Annihilation into his left arm.

"AAAHHH!"

Dai Huabin's scream now came purely from pain.

A chilling gleam flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

From atop the city wall, Dai Hao and Heavenfiend Douluo sensed something was wrong—but it was already too late.

Huo Yuhao activated his soul power. The destruction power of the Blade of Birth and Annihilation exploded inside Dai Huabin.

In an instant, he vanished into nothingness—obliterated before anyone could react.

At the same moment, Meng Hongchen calmly triggered the Ice Toad's venom, taking the unconscious Zhu Lu's life as well.

Heavenfiend Douluo and Dai Hao dashed to the stage at full speed.

Dai Hao collapsed to his knees where his son had stood, his face twisted in anguish as he let out a deafening roar.

"My son——!!"

Heavenfiend Douluo, upon discovering Zhu Lu's lifeless body, turned deathly pale. Under his supervision, two of the Star Luo Empire's most important young heirs—of the Dai and Zhu clans—had been killed.

Up on the city wall, Emperor Xu Jiawei clenched the armrests of his throne and lowered his head in sorrow.

'Brother killing brother… I never imagined Huo Yuhao's hatred would run so deep. So deep he'd slaughter his own blood…'

Dai Hao's face contorted with murderous rage. He glared at Huo Yuhao, who stood there calm and emotionless.

This was the boy who had murdered his son. Dai Hao's mind collapsed under the weight of grief. All he could see was Huo Yuhao's face.

He lunged toward him. He would kill the murderer with his own hands.

Huo Yuhao felt nothing as his father charged. No fear. No emotion. Just contempt.

'You think you can kill me? If you knew I was your son too… what would you think then?'

Just before Dai Hao's white tiger claws could tear Huo Yuhao apart, his body froze, suspended in midair, just one meter away.

Kong Deming emerged slowly from the shadows of the arena. With a light tap of his foot, he floated calmly in front of Huo Yuhao, facing the enraged and now-immobilized Duke Dai Hao.

"So, you think you can touch my disciple?"

The tension in the arena soared. Several of the Star Luo Empire's Titled Douluo immediately stepped forward, surrounding Kong Deming and taking up combat stances.

At the front stood the Rank 95 Super Douluo, Starshatter Douluo. He bellowed at Kong Deming.

"This is the capital of the Star Luo Empire! Release Duke Dai Hao immediately! You will not insult us!"

A powerful force surged toward Kong Deming.

The heirs of the Dai and Zhu families had just been slain by the Sun and Moon Empire's people. The Star Luo Empire could not tolerate this disgrace.

If Kong Deming hadn't been here—if only Jing Hongchen had come—then the Sun and Moon team might really have been in trouble.

But reality had no ifs.

Kong Deming let out a cold snort. In an instant, he crushed the combined aura of all the opposing Titled Douluo.

Feeling that oppressive force, Starshatter Douluo's expression shifted.

"You… you're an Ultimate Douluo! You're…!"

There were only a handful of Ultimate Douluo in existence. And in the Sun and Moon Empire, only one man held that title: Kong Deming. His name had once thundered across the continent. Starshatter Douluo, from the same generation, recognized it instantly.

Kong Deming said calmly, "Death on the battlefield is nothing unusual. And yet you dare threaten my disciple after the match is over? Fine. I'll release him."

"But if you truly wish to forsake honor and harm the Sun and Moon team, then I won't mind fighting. Just know—if that happens, this Star Luo City might not survive the day."

With a casual wave of his hand, Kong Deming flung Dai Hao like a ragdoll to the far end of the arena. He crashed into the wall with brutal force.

The combined impact and grief rendered him unconscious.
