Upgrade Specialist in Another World Chapter 1154: A Mere Soul Emperor...

A death sentence as cold as ice was given out for all those opposing the Beast Taming School. Those words were spoken with absolute authority. Not a single person doubted that Xue Ziye’s ability to carry out his words!
Not even the Blue-eyes White Dragon King doubted it.
The Beast Taming School having the Frostfeather Saint as a trump card wasn’t within the Blue-eyes White Dragon King’s predictions. It felt inconceivable that the current Beast Taming School would be able to control such a soulbeast.
Did that mean there was a Soul Saint in the Beast Taming School now? If…that was the case, then there was no way they would’ve been allowed to kill so many beast tamers until now.
“Two auras…it’s not a soulbeast puppet, that’s a medium!”
The Blue-eyes White Dragon King exclaimed at once. The aura radiating from the Frostfeather Saint was a little strange, according to his senses. The aura felt mixed, as if there was another source mixed into it.
The truth hit the Blue-eyes White Dragon King then—somehow, the beast tamer found a way to turn the Frostfeather Saint into the medium of a Soul Emperor!
“It’s no wonder these people look so different now. They were stalling for time! They were biding for this moment!?” The Blue-eyes White Dragon King exclaimed internally. “Damn! We may have been able to prevent that had we attacked earlier!”
Li Chengfeng’s suggestion to hold off the assault for three days infuriated him. Was it a trick? Did Li Chengfeng intentionally mention it? Was he a spy? The thought of collusion couldn’t be ruled out just yet!
But that thought could wait, the real trouble was right in front of him. A class nine soulbeast was up against them!
This was a case of quality reigning supreme over quantity. Not even an entire army could stand a chance against the Frostfeather Saint!
“Bai Yunfei, I’ll do my best to stall him, you take as many soulbeasts and soul cultivators into the Core World as you can. We’ll teleport as far away as we can after!”
The voice of the Blue-eyes White Dragon King spoke into Bai Yunfei’s mind. He spoke about stalling, but Bai Yunfei knew better…
The Blue-eyes White Dragon King was planning to sacrifice himself to allow the others to escape!
He wanted to say no. He wanted to tell the Blue-eyes White Dragon King that they’d all fight and retreat together. But that wasn’t possible and he knew it. To not retreat now meant everyone would die here.
What good were his many trump cards against a Soul Saint? No good at all.
Their opponent was a soulbeast. Was it possible to use the Beast Taming Ring then?
Absolutely not. It was a ridiculous notion—how could a Soul Saint level soulbeast be expected to be taken by the Beast Taming Ring? Would the Frostfeather Saint’s soul be tamed by the Beast Taming Ring even if it managed to make contact?
Of course not!
This was a change Bai Yunfei never expected to see…
Victory was so close at hand! Their plans were netting results; it was only a matter of time! It was supposed to be a great victory, but a single Soul Saint appearing changed everything and shifted the tides of momentum…
The Frostfeather Saint’s appearance now seemed strange to Bai Yunfei. Unable to hold his suspicions to himself, he turned to look at the one who suggested that they ‘delay’ the attack, Li Chengfeng.
But a single glance toward his close friend only caused him to be even more confused. The expression on Li Chengfeng was quite strange…
His eyes shined with a meticulous light. Something about this situation seemed to have captured Li Chengfeng’s attention wholeheartedly, as if there was something he had to calculate and plan. Though he stood still, his soulforce was pulsating wildly as if it was out of control. Both his arms were trembling slightly too along with some sort of light twinkling from near his chest…
“Hrk…”
A second later and Bai Yunfei watched as Li Chengfeng wobble slightly from where he stood. Blood was spilling out from his now ashen face!
Bai Yunfei noticed Li Chengfeng’s soulforce had dipped significantly as well. Li Chengfeng now looked and felt like he had just finished a life-or-death battle.
“Chengfeng!” Bai Yunfei rushed to his side at once, “What’s wrong?!”
“I’m fine…” Li Chengfeng wiped the blood from his mouth, “Do you…trust me, Yunfei?” He wheezed.
“What? Of course I do!!”
Needless to say, Bai Yunfei had full faith that Li Chengfeng wouldn’t fake injury to himself.
Relief filled Li Chengfeng. “Don’t worry then, we’ll be fine. The ‘death omen’ isn’t upon us…”
He looked upwards after that, “But…the Beast Taming School will be destroyed for sure!”
His words were spoken with confidence. So much confidence in fact those that heard him were a little surprised. Where had this confidence come from?
On the other side, the remaining beast tamers were looking on with glee at how panicked their enemies were. Some swore they could even see some soulbeast start to cry out in terror.
Ten seconds passed by in silence. The one Soul Emperor left on the Beast Taming School side knew that Xue Ziye was simply waiting for the ‘terror’ of their enemies to build up. He wanted to ‘savor’ the emotions of the others and await the best moment to taste their victory.
“Senior Xue, that person there is Bai Yunfei. He’s the one responsible for bringing all those soulbeasts here! Let him die a painful death!”
The last remaining Soul Emperor cried out in bitter hatred.
“Senior Xue?”
Something was wrong. There was no reaction from Xue Ziye! The silence of the man shouldn’t have lasted this long.
The Soul Emperor turned around. For some reason, he was starting to feel a sense of foreboding creep up on him…
“Your face…resembles one of those who ambushed me before…”
A voice spoke to the Soul Emperor.
“What?!” His eyes widened in surprise, “Senior Xue, what are you—”
“I see now. Your aura…you are his descendant.”
‘Xue Ziye’ spoke again, much to the surprise and horror of the Soul Emperor. The next three words spoken by ‘Xue Ziye’ then caused the Soul Emperor to tremble with fear!
“Death take you.”
The hand of the Frostfeather Saint snapped up at once. Latching onto the neck of the Soul Emperor, the Frostfeather Saint hoisted him into the air!
“Ah!! Senior Xue, wha—what are you doing?!”
The Soul Emperor choked, as hard as he struggled, the power contained in the Frostfeather Saint was not something he could break free from. The hand that grasped onto his throat was iron, and the power acting upon his soulforce was like ice! Neither flesh nor soulforce could be fought against!
A high and mighty Mid-stage Soul Emperor was being hoisted into the air like a goose by the neck!
“Le—let go!!”
The Soul Emperor shrieked, much to the annoyance of the Frostfeather Saint. The only thing he could do by this point was simply scream and hope for compliance.
He felt the hand around his throat loosen a bit. Did it work? Was he free? The Soul Emperor was only just getting excited when he felt the hand suddenly tighten once again!
The Frostfeather Saint grew calm once more, though his eyes gained an even icier edge to them.
“A mere Soul Emperor…thinks he can control me?!”
