While Homer had all his attention focused on his back, an even more powerful wave of law attacks barraged his front, catching him totally off guard.
"What the...? Are you kidding me?"
He turned pale, the terror clear on his face, and hurriedly withdrew his spear to block the incoming attacks.
He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, his rival was relatively weak. As long as he had his spear by his side to help him fight back, he felt confident he could counter through his enemy's defenses and turn the tide in his favor.
But then, his body began trembling violently, his face turned a deep red before the color soon drained from it.
He looked down to find the ground beneath his feet stained dark with his blood.
"You dirty rat!" Only then did Homer notice that an arrow of rule power had been shot through his crotch and pierced right into his heart.
His life began dripping away along with his blood.
"Die!"
The Rule Soul Avatar showed no mercy. He gathered his law force and targeted it all at Homer's head.
Homer was already panicking, his life already on the line as he was left exposed.
"Darren, don't kill me, please. I was sent here to help you improve your cultivation level, on Lord Yama's orders!" he shouted desperately, pleading for his life.
He was willing to do anything necessary to convince the Rule Soul Avatar to spare him.
But the Rule Soul Avatar paid his words no mind, they meant nothing to him. All that he could think about was that this man in front of him harbored a deep desire to kill him and that he had attempted to do something filthy to Jenifer. How could he possibly let him go now?
Homer's heart had already been stabbed into, it was over now. He could not hold off any more of the Rule Soul Avatar's attacks.
He sat, white as a sheet, awaiting death to take him.
"Stop!"
the Reincarnation Emperor yelled as he descended and stopped before the Rule Soul Avatar.
"Darren, all Homer did was follow Lord Yama's orders. It was all for your own good. You can't kill him."
From the other end, the Rule Soul Avatar ceased his assault and cast contemptuous glances at the both of them.
"I need proof from Lord Yama for your words," said the Rule Soul Avatar.
"What? I'm telling the truth, I would never lie about official orders. You do as you please now, but I'll be taking Homer away," said the Reincarnation Emperor authoritatively.
"Okay, I believe you. Get him out of here." Unexpectedly, the Rule Soul Avatar agreed. It seemed he had a change of heart.
"Ha-ha, a wise decision. Come to my palace later and apologize to Homer. We'll be waiting for you there," said the Reincarnation Emperor quite pleased and surprised with how this had turned out.
"Okay," nodded the Rule Soul Avatar.
"Humph! You're so ungrateful," Homer groaned. "If I ha
er.
Several masters of the top level of the Star God Realm made their move to take the Rule Soul Avatar away. Luckily, he did not resist.
"I want her to come with me," he said, his eyes fixed on Jenifer.
"Wherever you go, I'll follow," Jenifer said in agreement.
"You are incredibly naive if you think you're going to live anything close to a good life there," the Reincarnation Emperor replied pulling a long face.
When he heard this, the Rule Soul Avatar immediately triggered the attacking law.
"You! You're going to revolt?"
"Let her go with me," the Rule Soul Avatar requested defiantly, ignoring the Reincarnation Emperor's anger.
"How dare you! You are in no position to be making requests!" the Reincarnation Emperor shouted back.
Bang!
The Rule Soul Avatar remained silent but mobilized the laws and smashed one of the guards attempting to take him to pieces.
He had made his position quite clear; if he was not allowed to take Jenifer with him, he would fight them as hard as he had to.
"Fine. You are really something," the Reincarnation Emperor said trembling with anger. "Take the woman with him!"
He had been strong-armed into a compromise.
Once the Rule Soul Avatar and Jenifer were taken away, he could no longer contain the vicious hatred in his heart.
"Your Majesty, he's too arrogant. If you let him by Lord Yama's side in the future, I'm afraid you will be in danger," said one of the Reincarnation Emperor's subordinates gravely.
"I'm well aware of that, I do not need you to tell me," replied the Reincarnation Emperor, calming down now.
"So what should we do?"
"Humph, the ninth layer of hell is formed by nature. Once he is inside, even Yama will be unable to tell what is going on around him. It will be easy for us to do whatever we like there!" he replied through gritted teeth and a devious look across his face.
