Chapter 170. Injury! Death! A Human Heart
The Dragoncarving Pillar was a vicious tool. The spikes didn’t pierce out instantly. Rather, they poked out slowly, penetrating one’s skin bit by bit. It was a torture tool designed to prolong the victim’s suffering.
However, they didn’t hear Huo Yuhao screaming. A layer of golden-red light shot out from Huo Yuhao’s body the moment the spikes touched him. The spikes were stopped and prevented from piercing his skin.
The sudden appearance of the golden-red light caused the Royal Stewards to be shocked. They unleashed their martial souls immediately.
“Impossible. How can he still use a soul skill even after he’s been cuffed by the Dragonbinding Seal? Wait, it’s a soul tool.”
Second Brother revealed an appalled look on his face.
Although he wasn’t a soul engineer, he was still familiar with soul tools since he was a member of the Sun Moon Empire’s imperial family. The Dragonbinding Seal was very effective in restraining a soul master. If Huo Yuhao was able to activate his soul tool even though his soul power was restrained by the Dragonbinding Seal, this meant that his soul tool’s class was higher than the Dragonbinding Seal. The Dragonbinding Seal was already a Class 6 soul tool. What class was Huo Yuhao’s defensive soul tool?
Even at this point, these arrogant Royal Stewards didn’t realize anything was amiss. Their eyes brightened, and greed started to fill them.
Even if Huo Yuhao only possessed a Class 7 defensive soul tool, it would be worth a huge price on the market. If they divided the money, they would still benefit greatly. While they were Royal Stewards, their salary wasn’t that high. In addition, they weren't direct descendants of the imperial family, which made their statuses very awkward in the imperial city. They obtained all their money through ill-gotten gains as Royal Stewards.
“You still dare to resist.” Second Brother snorted, “Even if your defensive soul tool is superior than the Dragonbinding Seal in terms of class, your soul power is limited. I want to see how long you can hold on. When your soul power is depleted, the spikes will pierce through your body forcefully. You’ll be torn apart instantly.”
