Chapter 380: Chapter 380: The Former Monarch’s Spiritual Power Collapse

A glimmer flashed in Ye Tianlin’s eyes. He looked at his son and played the family card. "Ming’er, I am your father. Are you really going to strike me down?"

Ye Ming’s face was cold. "Father? Have you forgotten? I already tried once."

He had no intention of showing mercy, each of his moves sharp and vicious. Not only that, but Yan Huoshui and the other two were even more ruthless, forcing Ye Tianlin into a pathetic retreat.

If Ye Ming hadn’t gotten involved, Ye Tianlin might have been able to hold his own against the other three. But Ye Ming had no intention of letting him off the hook.

He clenched his jaw, but when facing Ye Ming, he still put on a kind and gentle smile. He reminisced, "Ming’er, have you forgotten? Forgotten how Father used to teach you? How I would carve things to reward you?"

But try as he might, this was all Ye Tianlin could think of.

After all, Ye Ming was a rare Level 3S male. As the future heir, Ye Tianlin had placed great hopes in him back then, inevitably spending a little more effort on him. However, aside from his studies, he hadn’t offered him much more in the way of companionship.

But in little Ye Ming’s heart, that companionship and those lessons had built an image of a wise and elegant father. And it was that same father who had personally shattered the admiration his son held for him.

Now, aside from a brief moment of distraction, Ye Ming was no longer moved.

After all, his father had tried to kill him time and again, and had even insulted his wife.

When Ye Ming first seemed distracted, Ye Tianlin thought his method was working. But to his surprise, Ye Ming’s next attacks were even fiercer.

Surrounded by the four of them, it only took a few minutes for Ye Tianlin to be knocked to the ground. His clothes were covered in dust, and all traces of his usual gentle elegance had vanished.

His expression was grim as he stared daggers at them. "Don’t push me."

Yan Huoshui sneered, his red lips curling. "Push you? Oh, former Monarch, if you’ve abdicated, you should have the decency to play dead. You’re the one who keeps trying to harm our wife, and now you have the nerve to turn it around on us?"

"Yeah, you totally deserve this. Why couldn’t you just be a good Monarch?"

Jiang Xia chimed in bluntly.

Mu Tangfeng’s words were just as venomous. "Some people are just asking for it. They can’t stand having a good life, so they go looking for a way to die."

Ye Ming said nothing more. He simply pulled out his gun, intending to use the C36 to end it once and for all.

A chilling glint flashed in Ye Tianlin’s eyes. "Fine. If that’s how it is, then you can all die."

With that, he quickly downed a vial of green liquid.

The potion was actually the blood of Chao Si—and from the fifth generation, at that.

Ye Tianlin’s spiritual power collapse value was already high. Compounded by the even more potent Spiritual Poison in Chao Si’s blood, a single gulp sent his collapse value skyrocketing. In the blink of an eye, a giant Black Panther with scarlet eyes appeared before them.

"This is bad! His spiritual power collapse has been triggered!"

Ye Ming’s pupils contracted. As someone who had experienced a spiritual power collapse himself and had witnessed He Hanshi’s firsthand, he knew better than anyone what to expect.

The effects of a spiritual power collapse were manageable if the Beastman had a low Spiritual Power Level, but if it was someone over 2S...

Ye Ming couldn’t imagine the catastrophe that would befall the Capital Star. Yan Huoshui and the other two quickly realized the same.

Yan Huoshui made a snap decision. "Mu Tangfeng, you’re a Flying Beastman. Get Lanlan out of here right now."

"Okay."

Without a moment’s hesitation, Mu Tangfeng ran into Zhenxin Hospital to get them. He also began evacuating the other females, telling them to take refuge in the shelters immediately.

The Capital Star had special shelters that were unconditionally open to females at all times. To a certain extent, the shelters could withstand Ye Tianlin’s attacks.

After saying this, Mu Tangfeng didn’t linger. He quickly grabbed Shi Lan and the big mushroom cub and flew away.

Looking down from the sky, Shi Lan noticed the giant Black Panther not far from the hospital and its red eyes. She seemed to realize something.

’So, what they had feared has actually happened.’

Just before, when Ye Ming and the others were fighting the former Monarch, the hospital director had told her that the reason the former Monarch was so obsessed with capturing her for treatment was because his own spiritual power collapse level was very high. Moreover, an ordinary female’s treatment would have little to no effect on him.

It was probably karma. He had obtained his brother’s 3S Spiritual Power, but it had lowered his resistance to Spiritual Poison. Even if a female’s treatment was effective at the moment, his levels would quickly rise again.

That was why back when the director was still married to him, she had always struggled to treat his collapse value and often felt that something was very wrong with his condition.

And now, it seemed Shi Lan was the only female who had a chance of treating him.

However, his spiritual state was already unstable, and the director had worried he might go on a rampage. Her words had unfortunately become a prophecy; it was happening right now.

Shi Lan saw Ye Ming, Yan Huoshui, and Jiang Xia fighting hard to resist down below, along with the retired soldiers Zhenxin Hospital had hired. But even with so many powerful people trying to stop the former Monarch, he easily swatted them aside.

Even from so far away, she could feel the danger.

Shi Lan’s heart ached watching the scene. She clutched the big mushroom tighter with one hand and gripped the feathers on Mu Tangfeng’s back with the other, her voice filled with anxiety. "What do we do about a 3S Spiritual Power male on a rampage? Will Ye Ming and the others be in danger?"

Mu Tangfeng never lied to Shi Lan. He couldn’t bring himself to offer false words of comfort. He was silent for a long moment before saying, "Lanlan, I’ll take you to the shelter first, then I’ll go back and help them."

After speaking, he picked up his speed.

Shi Lan bit her lip. She wanted to say that she would stay with them, but she was pregnant and had three cubs to look after. If she went, she would only be a distraction. She couldn’t be so selfish.

Perhaps her anxiety was clouding her judgment, for Shi Lan had momentarily forgotten about Xiao Du’s other abilities.

Just then, Xiao Du suddenly spoke up. [Master, have you forgotten? I can’t cure a spiritual power collapse, but I can temporarily calm him down.]

Shi Lan’s eyes lit up instantly. ’That’s right! How could I have forgotten?’ Back when Mu Tangfeng’s spiritual power collapse was triggered, it was Xiao Du who had gone inside and made him lose consciousness.

With that thought, her voice grew louder. "Mu Tangfeng, quick! Go back! I have a way!"

Mu Tangfeng was flying very fast and was already nearing the shelter.

Hearing her sudden outburst, he didn’t have time to slow down. He was even a little worried that she was just tricking him because she was anxious about them fighting alone.

But Shi Lan quickly continued, "Do you remember in prison, when your spiritual power collapses were triggered? They were severe, and logically, you shouldn’t have recovered so quickly. But each time, you calmed down fast. That was all because of my spirit body."

"So please, go back!"
