Chapter 89: Subduing the Ghost Leopard

Boom!

The Ghost Leopard's body slammed into the ground, coughing up blood incessantly; he was in a wretched state, no longer possessing his previous arrogant appearance.

His eyes were filled with terror; he could not understand why a Soul Emperor could be so powerful, to the point where even he, a Level 95 Title Douluo, could not fend him off.

He was simply a freak, a heaven-defying monster!

"No, I must leave this place; I must report the news of this person!" the Ghost Leopard thought to himself. He had worked so hard to reach this height; he could not capsize in the gutter and die here. He had to leave!

The moment fear arose, running away became inevitable.

A black Spirit Ring rose. A Title Douluo's vitality is very tenacious; although he had suffered a brutal beating from Ma Hongjun, his armor was shattered, and his body was wounded, he still stood back up and unleashed his sixth soul skill.

Within the Void, a giant claw of a ghost leopard stretched out, followed by the entire body of the ghost leopard, which lunged toward Ma Hongjun to crush him.

Meanwhile, he took this opportunity to turn and flee.

"Your vitality is quite tenacious, but no one I have set my sights on has ever successfully escaped, unless I deliberately let them go."

Ma Hongjun, having seen through the opponent's goal, was unimpressed.

He summoned the phantom of a pure-blooded Phoenix to meet the incoming phantom of the ghost leopard.

Rumble!

The two phantoms collided, forming a massive explosion.

A streak of red Rainbow Light pierced through the explosion's smoke, chasing after the Ghost Leopard.

The Ghost Leopard, who had escaped into the Void, saw his expression change; the surrounding space had been sealed off by a powerful flame energy.

The terrifying high temperature of the flames scorched the surrounding Void until it was incredibly hot, forcing him to come out.

The person who appeared before him made his pupils shrink.

It was none other than Ma Hongjun.

"Don't think about running; you can't escape!" Ma Hongjun said.

The Ghost Leopard said in terror: "I admit you are strong, but if you want to kill me, I am not made of mud! I will drag you down to die with me! If I don't die, the Spirit Hall will not let you off!"

As he spoke, his expression turned cold, and a trace of crazy ferocity emerged from the depths of his eyes.

If you want to kill me completely, leaving no way out, and press me this hard, then don't blame me for dragging you down to be buried with me before I die! Having reached this level of cultivation, he would not easily choose this way to die.

For a veteran Level 95 Title Douluo to lose to a six-ring Soul Emperor kid was already shameful enough; now, dragging him down would only be even more shameful. From now on, he would have no face in the Douluo circle and would be unable to hold his head up.

He would be despised by his peers.

To him, this was a great irony and humiliation! Every Title Douluo is arrogant, so naturally, he could not accept this! "Drag me down to die with you? You don't have the qualifications."

Ma Hongjun said with disdain.

As the words fell, fire clouds filled the sky, and giant fireballs fell like meteors.

This was precisely Ma Hongjun's Second Soul Skill: Phoenix Meteor Shower! The Ghost Leopard's expression changed.

He wanted to run, but discovered that fire ropes had appeared on the ground, binding him.

The current Ma Hongjun possessed the ability to control flames and could manipulate his own fire at will to attack and control others.

"Oh no!" The Ghost Leopard was shocked, but unfortunately, it was too late.

The Phoenix Meteor Shower had already fallen.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amidst the explosion, the Ghost Leopard's screams rang out.

The smoke dispersed, and a mushroom cloud rose.

"Gulp!"

"Is this really something a Soul Emperor can do?"

"Even a Title Douluo wouldn't have such terrifying destructive power, right?"

"The only one who could achieve this scene is perhaps the Clear Sky Hammer."

In the distance, Long Gong and She Po, who had already reunited with their granddaughter Meng Yiran, kept their eyes fixed on the direction of the battle, swallowing their saliva and revealing looks of terror.

"Grandpa, Grandma, who exactly is he?" Meng Yiran's eyes were full of little hearts.

This young man is so amazing!

"He is the Principal of the Phoenix Academy, who has been making a lot of noise recently, Ma Hongjun!"

Long Gong said.

"This time, it is also our opportunity." Everyone understood what this sentence meant.

"With such a terrifying attack, is that Title Douluo dead?" Meng Yiran asked curiously.

"It's likely grim, but Title Douluos have very tenacious vitality."

"Not necessarily dead; perhaps just heavily injured."

Long Gong and She Po were also uncertain.

However, after seeing this scene, the stifled feeling in their hearts had disappeared quite a bit.

Watching someone else beat up their enemy, this feeling was just refreshing.

If they could personally get their hands on him and give him a beating, it would be even more refreshing.

On the other side, Ma Hongjun sensed that the Ghost Leopard Douluo was not dead.

With a wave of his hand, the explosion's smoke dissipated.

In the deep pit on the ground, only one person lay dying and unable to move; all the clothes on his body were gone, as was his hair. It was scorched, and he was censored by a mosaic.

He looked miserable, like a piece of charcoal.

There was absolutely no dignity left of a veteran Level 95 Title Douluo.

"A dignified Title Douluo, yet today you have been defeated so wretchedly."

Ma Hongjun's voice was calm, but it was ear-piercing.

"Winners are kings and losers are villains; I have lost, kill me." The high and mighty Ghost Leopard had been cast into the depths; his self-esteem and dignity were shattered. Now he was in great pain and only sought death.

"Living is so wonderful, why seek death?"

"Be my dog, and I will let you live and restore you to your peak state."

Ma Hongjun stood high above, looking down at the Ghost Leopard on the ground, his voice cold and indifferent.

"I have no choice."

If he could, the Ghost Leopard truly did not want to die.

As long as he was alive, there would be a chance for revenge in the future.

He had spent his life's efforts on the Spirit Hall and his own cultivation; having reached such a height with great difficulty, he truly did not want to die, but today's defeat brought him such humiliation—the kind that he would never be able to erase in his entire life!

Ma Hongjun would also become a psychological shadow for him.

Ma Hongjun was merely informing him; if he wanted to kill the Ghost Leopard, it would not be difficult for him now, but he did not do so, entirely because he wanted the other party to live, to act as his mole lurking in the Spirit Hall and doing things for him.

A living person is always more valuable than a dead one.

The next second, a Pill appeared in his palm.

This was a highly toxic Poison Pill, the same one that Gui Mei had eaten.

He shoved it directly into the Ghost Leopard's mouth.

The Ghost Leopard did not resist and just ate it like that.

Because even if he wanted to resist, he had no strength left.

And he would very likely be beaten up again.

"What I fed you is a highly toxic Poison Pill. After you consume it, it will completely fuse with your body, heart, internal organs, and veins. As long as you dare to commit any act of betrayal against me, I will immediately detonate it, letting you die in the agony of Ten Thousand Poisons Heart-Eating and body-consuming pain."

"Go back to the Spirit Hall; apart from the fact that you are poisoned, you can report everything else truthfully. Lurk in the Spirit Hall and obtain first-hand information for me."

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Salas are all my people, just like you."

After Ma Hongjun finished speaking, the Ghost Leopard's pupils dilated instantly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

The next second, red and green rain and dew showered onto the Ghost Leopard, causing his injuries to recover extremely quickly.

After a short time, the severely injured Ghost Leopard had recovered directly to his peak state!

"Ah!" The Ghost Leopard's pupils constricted, his expression changed drastically, and he screamed in agony.

Ma Hongjun had triggered the poison, letting him experience the pain of Ten Thousand Poisons Heart-Eating and body-consuming.

Only in this way would it have more of a deterrent effect.
