The Third Charm, Chicken Charm

Zhang Ping stood up, three Soul Rings appearing above her head. She pointed a finger at the masked man who was about to violate Hu Li Na.

The masked man raised his hand, his palm striking Hu Li Na and knocking her unconscious instantly. Then, he turned around and laughed coldly, "Hehe, what are you rushing for? You want to get intimate with me first, alright, I'll indulge you!"

Zhang Ping was startled. There was fear in her pupils.

She had originally seen Hu Li Na about to be violated and, driven by a sense of justice, called out to stop the masked man.

But after the adrenaline faded, she suddenly realized she was no match for the masked man.

"First Soul Skill – Yan Ying Ji Le!"

Yan Ying Ji Le: Channels Soul Power into your legs, causing your form to dart forward like a swift swallow, instantly increasing your movement speed by 80%.

During the rapid dash, you can flexibly change direction, leaving behind several afterimages to confuse enemies, suitable for quickly approaching opponents or escaping the battlefield.

This is a basic skill for both surprise attacks and emergency escapes.

Three afterimages appeared behind Zhang Ping.

The distance between them was very close, and Zhang Ping used this to approach the masked man.

"Third Soul Skill – Bing Xuan Feng Bao!"

The masked man used his ice battle saber for the second time.

The saber spun rapidly around him, centered on his body.

"Ah!"

A pained cry rang out.

Zhang Ping, attempting to attack the masked man, was skillfully countered by his third Soul Skill. Furthermore, she was frozen stiff by the icy qi emanating from the ice battle saber, shivering uncontrollably.

"Second Soul Skill!"

Zhang Ping's second Soul Ring floated upward from beneath her feet.

Before she could unleash her second Soul Skill, a blade of ice shot towards him, instantly encasing her in ice.

Soul Masters specializing in agility are at a disadvantage when facing Soul Masters who combine brute force with control. If your movements are restricted, you can only passively endure.

Having successfully attacked, the masked man threw his ice battle saber, hitting Zhang Ping. The tip pierced the Xuan Bing, embedding itself in her right shoulder. The impact instantly shattered the Xuan Bing encasing Zhang Ping, simultaneously sending her flying backward through the air, bleeding profusely.

Zhang Ping fell to the ground.

The masked man continued to approach Zhang Ping, a demonic laugh escaping his throat, "Hehe, you're a girl with a strong sense of justice. I like girls like you who are easily violated!"

"Are you still a person?"

"Hehe, you're right, I'm not. People call me Ghost Knife!"

"You can't violate me?"

"Give me a reason?"

"My grandfather is the Cardinal of Sylvest City!"

"You're Zhang Jiaozhu's granddaughter?"

The masked man was startled. For the first time, a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes.

Zhang Ping noticed the masked man's expression and nodded slightly, "Rest assured, I haven't seen your face. I don't know who you are. Just leave now, let us go, and I promise, I won't pursue this matter!"

"That won't do."

"Why not?"

"Because you know I want to kill Tuoba Yan. It's the same whether I kill one or offend one. Forget it, let's just kill them all today. Killing you here won't be known to anyone."

A ruthless gaze emanated from the masked man's eyes.

The masked man approached Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping, trying to resist while lying on the ground, was a step too slow. The masked man's hand landed on her shoulder, and he secretly channeled Soul Power, sealing hers.

"Don't struggle, the more you struggle, the more excited I'll get!"

"You're shameless!"

Zhang Ping raised her hand and swatted at the masked man's face.

The masked man raised his hand, catching Zhang Ping's hand, and then slapped her, causing her mouth to bleed.

Next, the masked man took out a rope and bound Zhang Ping's hands. He pressed her body down on her legs, his demonic hand stroking along her shinbone, enjoying himself as he emitted a demonic voice, "Hehe, I've played with so many women. I have to admit, your legs are the longest I've ever seen."

The flattering words couldn't make Zhang Ping happy.

Tears slid down her cheek.

She wanted to scream, but the masked man stuffed a piece of cloth, seemingly not a sock, into her mouth. She could only make whimpering sounds.

Xie Yue and Hu Li Na were unconscious, and no patrolling Guardian Knights were visible.

Thinking about being about to be violated, Zhang Ping's eyes were filled with fear. Her body trembled involuntarily under the masked man's touch.

"Let that girl go!"

A slightly childish voice came from the trunk of a large tree.

The masked man looked up and saw Tuoba Yan returning unexpectedly. He walked towards them.

The masked man ceased his criminal activities, rose, and said with a smug smile, "I almost forgot, you're the target of my mission. I'll kill you first, then I'll enjoy them."

"First Soul Skill· Ice Blade· Lie Shuang!"

The masked man rushed toward Tuoba Yan. When he got close enough, he stylishly bounced from the ground into the air.

Simultaneously, Tuoba Yan's second Soul Ring flared with light.

"Second Soul Skill· Chicken Charm· Floating Technique!"

A golden light enveloped the masked man.

The masked man, suspended in mid-air, was just about to swing his blade at Tuoba Yan when his body suddenly lost weight.

The sudden change caught him off guard. His body floated in the air, motionless.

Before the masked man could regain his senses, the golden light vanished, and the masked man, now affected by gravity, plummeted towards the ground. Before he could land, Tuoba Yan's third Soul Ring flared to life.

"Third Soul Skill· Niu Fu Zhuo · Man Niu Zhi Li!"

A deep blue light enveloped Tuoba Yan's entire body. Instantly, his muscles bulged, transforming him into a man with the strength of an ox.

At first glance, Tuoba Yan resembled Nezha from a thousand jokes.

"Boom!"

The amplified strength of his fist struck the masked man, sending him flying like a cannonball. He continued to be pummeled, finally stopping near a large tree.

The masked man struggled to his feet, spitting out blood, "Who do you think you are?"

Tuoba Yan revealed a mocking smile, "You're nothing."

He was a Soul Master with an unusual ability.

The sudden change had him completely off guard. His body hovered in the air, unable to move.

Before the masked man could recover, the golden light disappeared, and gravity returned, sending the masked man plummeting towards the ground. Before he could land, Tuoba Yan's third Soul Ring flared to life.
