Cruel Evil Soul Master

"Brother, you really talk too much!"

In that instant of flashing blades and clashing swords.

With a "pfft," the armored man's eyes widened as he stared at the man before him in disbelief.

The armor he wore had been personally forged by Grandmaster Morris. Even a Soul King using all his strength would not dare claim he could split it apart, yet he had unexpectedly died to a single sword.

With unwillingness in his heart, the man in silver armor crashed heavily to the ground.

Liu Yi snorted coldly and turned to look toward the prison cells in the distance.

When he walked over, he nearly threw up.

The reason was that the cells were filled with Soul Masters missing limbs. Their strengths varied, but most were Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors. Powerful Soul Emperors were rare.

Some had already been gnawed clean by rats, while others wailed in agony. It was a miserable sight.

When they saw Liu Yi arrive, their first reaction was not to beg for help, but to huddle together and tremble. They were clearly terrified.

Without another word, Liu Yi cut through the iron chains binding the cages.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not here to kill you. Come with me. We'll get out together!"

The people looked at Liu Yi tremblingly, yet not a single one stepped out of the cages. It was as though the outside world had become their nightmare.

When Liu Yi opened every cage, not a single person emerged into the dim corridor. They all remained curled up together.

"You people..." Liu Yi fell silent. Those bastards were truly inhuman!

"Everyone, I'm here to save you. Come with me."

The group looked at one another, but none of them moved to leave their cells.

At that moment, a little boy of about five walked to the cell door and tentatively stepped outside.

The moment he took his first step, he hurriedly pulled it back. When he stepped out again, he trembled slightly. Slowly, his entire body left the cell, though he was still frightened.

Because everyone here had lived a life without daylight. Anyone who tried to escape would be subjected to brutal torture until they were beaten to death.

It was utterly inhumane.

The little boy carefully walked over to Liu Yi and knelt before him.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Liu Yi crouched down and asked painfully.

But the little boy did not speak. A mist of tears filled his eyes.

Liu Yi frowned and hurriedly placed his right hand against the boy's neck. When he learned that the boy's tongue had been cut out, he froze.

"Beasts... You filthy beasts!"

Liu Yi finally erupted. He swung the Seven Kill Sword in his right palm forcefully, and a dazzling white light blanketed the entire underground prison. At the same time, the whole dungeon began to shake violently.

Not only that, but the Blacksmith Shop aboveground also began to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.

Morris looked at the teacup before him, raised a brow, and said, "What's going on? You lot, go check what happened in the dungeon. Why is there such a huge commotion?"

"Yes!"

A thunderous boom rang out again. Countless pale fragments shattered through the air, and the entire Blacksmith Shop, as though bombarded by artillery, collapsed in an instant.

At the same time it caved in, a white light carried the Soul Masters from the dungeon into the air. Liu Yi hovered overhead, staring coldly at Morris and the others amid the ruins.

"Who is it? Who dares cause trouble in my Suotuo City!"

After hearing the explosion, the distant garrison commander rushed over without stopping.

"Who are you, sir? Why are you causing trouble in my Suotuo City?"

"Get lost!" Liu Yi roared. "No one can stop me from killing Morris today!"

The garrison commander frowned. From Liu Yi's aura alone, he could already tell that this man's strength surpassed his own.

If they fought, he would undoubtedly lose.

But if he ignored this, how would the Soul Masters of Suotuo City view him afterward?

"Sir, whatever the matter is, we can talk it out. Why resort to blades and weapons? Don't you agree?"

Liu Yi stared at the commander coldly. "I'll say it once more. Get out of my way, or die!"

"Outrageous!" The commander was angered as well. He had yielded time and again, only to be cursed at. How could he endure that?

"Soldiers of Suotuo City, kill him!"

Liu Yi was growing impatient. With a wave of his right hand, tens of thousands of Seven Kill Swords condensed in midair. In almost an instant, the spears in everyone's hands were severed.

"Brat, how dare you ruin my plans!" Morris roared, his eyes bloodshot.

He had paid far too much for this matter, yet it had now been destroyed by some nobody. How could he not be angry? How could he not fly into a rage?

"Morris, you beast! You actually captured these Soul Masters for experiments. You wouldn't even spare a child. Are you even human?!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding spectators began whispering among themselves.

"What? Something like that happened?"

"I don't think so. Grandmaster Morris has always seemed decent enough."

"Hey, now that you mention it, there really have been missing-person cases lately. But they could never find anyone, so the investigation was stopped."

"Are you saying Grandmaster Morris was behind all of it?"

The garrison commander of Suotuo City was stunned as well. He stared coldly at Morris. He had been the one investigating this case, but Morris had refused to admit anything, and he had no way to deal with him.

Now that both witnesses and evidence were present, could Morris still escape?

"Morris, so you're the villain! Today, you must be executed on the spot!"

"Hahaha!" Morris laughed heartily. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?"

"Brat, I don't know how you escaped, but this is as far as you go. Today, I will make your blood spill across this place!"

As Morris spoke, he immediately removed his outer coat, revealing a suit of armor forged with golden threads beneath it. His entire body was wrapped in armor, leaving no opening to exploit.

"My warriors, come forth!"

"Hm?"

Before anyone could react, the ground around them split apart inch by inch, and puppets clad in black armor crawled out from underground.

"Hahaha, scared now? Let me tell you the truth. These are puppets I refined from Soul Masters. Every one of them has reached the strength of a Soul Ancestor. Combined with the armor I forged, let alone Soul Ancestors, even Soul Kings are no match for them!"

"Heh."

Morris's smile faded. "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at how stupid you are. You think these pieces of trash can save your life? How foolish. Today, I'll show you what true power is!"

A sharp gleam suddenly flashed across the Seven Kill Sword in Liu Yi's hand. At that very instant, six lights on the blade lit up at once.

They were yellow, purple, black, black, black, and black. He did not yet possess the strength of a Titled Douluo and could not completely merge his soul rings into his Martial Soul. Otherwise, his strength would increase severalfold.
