Tragic Scene and Evil Soul Masters

Chapter 25: Tragic Scene and Evil Soul Masters

Lu Yuan's five senses were far more acute than those of ordinary people. Though the scent of blood carried on the breeze was faint, Lu Yuan still detected it keenly.

"The smell of blood? Where's the smell of blood coming from? I don't smell anything." Xu Fei shook his head.

"It's coming from up ahead. I can smell it clearly. I can't be wrong!" Lu Yuan raised a hand and pointed straight ahead.

Though Xu Fei could not smell anything himself, Lu Yuan's utter certainty made him somewhat convinced. He turned to the coachman and said, "Go faster!"

The fine horses galloped as a rather luxurious carriage raced along the country road.

"What a strong smell of blood!" Upon reaching the entrance to Fengming Village, the bloody stench seemed impossible to block out as it rushed straight into their noses.

Xu Fei frowned deeply, his expression grim. "It looks like something happened in Fengming Village. Stay in the carriage. I'll go down and take a look!"

"Uncle Xu, let me go with you!" Lu Yuan said.

"But your safety..." Xu Fei hesitated.

"I'm a Soul Master too, and I have some ability to protect myself. Besides, if there really is danger, wouldn't staying by your side be safer?" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"All right!" Seeing that Lu Yuan's words made sense, Xu Fei nodded.

After getting out of the carriage, one large and one small figure headed into the village!

A horrific sight entered their eyes, like an Asura hell!

Blood had stained the road red, and villagers' corpses lay everywhere by the roadside. Every corpse had its stomach cut open, their intestines spilling out, while each had a hollow in the left side of their chest where their hearts had long since been dug out.

The villagers had died so miserably that it made one shudder with horror!

Whoever had committed such evil was beyond redemption, their crimes too countless to record!

Scum like this deserved to be hacked to pieces!

Lu Yuan's face was pale, and his clenched fists had turned white. Having never seen such a horrific scene before, he forced down the nausea in his heart, which was now filled with towering fury!

Just who had committed such atrocities against defenseless villagers?

Xu Fei's face was livid. As a deacon of the Fasinuo Spirit Hall, he had experienced many storms, yet even this was the first time he had witnessed such a bloody massacre.

At the sight of this, anyone with a conscience would be enraged beyond measure!

"Let's go. The blood hasn't dried yet, so those thugs can't have gone far. We'll catch up to them!" Xu Fei's voice was low, but the killing intent within it was impossible to conceal.

Lu Yuan nodded. Light flashed in his hand as he gripped the World-Shocking Spear and sped forward alongside Xu Fei.

At the center of the village, the slaughter was even worse. More than a hundred villagers' corpses hung from a tall locust tree, blood dripping from their mangled flesh. Not a single living soul remained in the vast village. It was like a ghostly realm, a blood-red field of Asura!

"Take the road on the left!" Three roads led out of the village from its center, but only the road on the left bore bloodstains. Without hesitation, the two quickly gave chase.

Xu Fei was a Soul King and incredibly fast. Although Lu Yuan was only a Soul Master, he possessed a supreme technique like Phoenix Dance Six Illusions. Thus, neither of them was slow as the two figures raced after them one behind the other!

His name was Tang Qi, an Evil Soul Master with the strength of a Soul Ancestor!

"Quit dragging your feet! Hurry up, all of you!" After eating a heart, Tang Qi roared at the group behind him!

As a team leader within the organization, Tang Qi had a Soul Elder, two Soul Grand Masters, and over a dozen Soul Masters under his command.

Evil Soul Masters grew stronger through slaughter. What Tang Qi loved most were fresh hearts and the blood of virgins!

This sweep had been a deliberate operation, and Fengming Village was not the only village to suffer. Tang Qi was merely one participant. The damned Spirit Hall dared oppose the organization—this was the organization's retaliation!

For this operation, the organization had dispatched one King-level expert, two General-level experts, five senior team leaders, and over a dozen team leaders to attack various regions. Fengming Village was the area under his charge!

Those beautiful young girls and their tender, delicious hearts would all belong to him. Just thinking about it made Tang Qi feel delighted.

Looking at the girl behind him, barely over ten years old with fair, tender cheeks, Tang Qi felt a wave of heat rush to his heart. He had always possessed somewhat twisted tastes.

Meanwhile, Xu Fei and Lu Yuan arrived swiftly. With a large group in tow, Tang Qi was naturally slower than the two of them. In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they had caught up!

"They're right ahead!" Lu Yuan's eyes flashed as he looked at the long line in the distance.

"Looks like there are quite a few of these beasts!" Xu Fei said as he looked at the dozen or so Soul Masters in the group ahead.

"Uncle Xu, what should we do?" Lu Yuan did not act rashly. More than a dozen Soul Masters was no weak force, and they also had villagers in their hands, which was an issue they had to consider.

Xu Fei fixed his gaze on Tang Qi at the very front of the group and said, "From the current situation, the man at the front is their leader. He's not weak, at least a Soul Ancestor. So the first thing we need to do is deal with him."

"How?" Lu Yuan asked.

Xu Fei was indeed a Soul King, but there were many enemies, and while a Soul Ancestor was weaker than a Soul King, it was unrealistic for Xu Fei to kill one in a short time. Once he was surrounded, it would be difficult to escape.

"Poison!" Xu Fei said decisively.

"Poison?" Lu Yuan understood. "You mean poison them? But ordinary poison won't work on Soul Masters!" Soul Masters possessed physiques unlike ordinary people's. With their physical strength, they could withstand ordinary deadly poisons.

Xu Fei took out a white jade bottle from his waist and handed it to Lu Yuan. "Inside is poison powder made from the Soul Beast Golden Mandala Flower. This poison powder is extremely toxic and can spread through breathing. In a moment, I'll go draw their attention. While they aren't paying attention, scatter this Golden Mandala Poison Powder over them!"

"Golden Mandala Flower?" Lu Yuan took the jade bottle in surprise. He had not expected Xu Fei to possess such a treasure. The toxicity of the Golden Mandala Flower could rival that of the Man Faced Demon Spider, far stronger than the venom of the Mandala Snake Tang San had hunted for his first soul ring.

"But be careful yourself. Don't let the poison powder touch you. This poison is extremely troublesome!" Xu Fei warned.

Lu Yuan nodded, anticipation flickering in his eyes.

Every last one of these scum deserved to die!
