Why Should I Let You Live When He's the One You Caught?

Lord Gao's face darkened as he said coldly, "What happened? One of you turned traitor. Fortunately, Old Man acted in time and caught him, or the consequences would have been unimaginable."

The moment those words were spoken, the Evil Soul Masters present trembled in fear.

They had actually been targeted by Shrek's Inspection Group.

At that moment, Tang Qi woke up. Sensing countless powerful auras, he snorted coldly. "You evil Soul Masters, your days of evil are nearly over. Shrek will not let you off."

"To tell you the truth, we have other companions coming this time. Your time of death has come."

Lord Gao was stunned by those words.

In a flash, he appeared before Tang Qi and demanded, "Who are your accomplices? How strong are they? How many are there? Don't forget, your life is in my hands."

Tang Qi spat and cursed, "Dream on. You think I'll tell you? He's the renowned Evil Soul Master Slaughter Machine, your nightmare. He's probably already returned to Shrek to call for reinforcements. Your good days are over."

Lord Gao froze upon hearing this.

The Evil Soul Master Slaughter Machine?

He swiftly searched through his memories for this person, only to realize it was that brat. His expression immediately darkened.

In his rage, Lord Gao kicked Tang Qi in the chest, sending him flying several meters away.

The Evil Soul Masters in the merchant association panicked.

If what he said was true, they were in serious trouble.

Once Shrek's experts arrived, these small fry would not be nearly enough to kill.

Elder Zhou looked at Lord Gao and asked, "Lord Gao, what should we do?"

"Let me think."

Lord Gao's face remained grim as he seriously considered how to salvage the situation.

At this moment, Qian Chaoyun was cursing Tang Qi bloody murder in his heart.

This idiot!

He had never expected this Inner Court Student named Tang Qi to be so stupid that he would expose him so casually.

If Lord Gao suspected him now, it would be a dead end.

Not only would he die, but he would also drag Ling Luochen and Xu Jiujiu down with him.

That guy was truly too stupid.

Meanwhile, Ling Luochen was equally speechless.

She had sacrificed so much to infiltrate this place, only to encounter such an idiotic teammate. Not only had he sold out Qian Chaoyun, but he had exposed their whereabouts as well.

Tang Qi was truly an idiot.

At that moment, Lord Gao slammed his hand on the table. "I've decided. Everyone, disperse. This operation is canceled."

Elder Zhou pointed at Dai Yueheng and Tang Qi. "Lord Gao, how should we deal with these two?"

Lord Gao remained silent.

He truly did not know how to handle these two. Killing them would bring considerable trouble, especially since one of them was the Duke's Son.

At that moment, Qian Chaoyun spoke up. "Kill them all."

Lord Gao shot him a sidelong glance, thinking that this brat had guts. He even dared to kill the Duke's Son—was he not afraid of bringing trouble upon himself?

Tang Qi, lying on the ground, immediately grew anxious and roared, "You damned Evil Soul Masters, you dare kill us? Do you know who I am?"

"I'm from the Clear Sky Sect, and my companion is the Duke's Son. If you kill us, just wait for Shrek and the Star Luo Empire's revenge!"

Qian Chaoyun could no longer stand it. He stepped forward and slapped Tang Qi across the face, shouting angrily, "Shut up. Say one more word, and I'll cut out your tongue."

Tang Qi immediately behaved himself.

He truly feared having his tongue cut out.

Dai Yueheng silently shifted away without saying a word, yet his actions said everything.

As the Duke's Son, he had been utterly humiliated.

At this moment, Lord Gao and the others were also shocked by Bule's ruthlessness.

This brat was not only lustful but also so ruthless. He was made to be an Evil Soul Master.

After considering it for a while, Lord Gao said, "Throw them into Star Luo City. If they come looking for trouble again, kill them. This time, we'll give Shrek some face."

As he spoke, he instructed his younger brother to do it.

However, at that moment, a wave of palpitations struck them. A powerful aura suddenly appeared in the Underground Market.

Someone shouted, "Not good! A Titled Douluo has arrived."

Lord Gao flashed away, instantly vanishing from where he stood as he flew toward the Escape Route that had long been prepared.

The Evil Soul Masters remaining behind immediately scattered in all directions.

"Where do you think you're going? Old Man will wipe you out today."

With a cold shout, the entire Underground Market began to tremble. A Titled Douluo with Nine Soul Rings descended from the sky, instantly cutting off Lord Gao's path.

The newcomer was none other than Giant Strength Douluo Cheng Gang, a worshipper of the Star Luo Hall of Worship.

Cheng Gang merely glanced at Lord Gao before unleashing a soul skill to seal off his Escape Route.

Seeing the situation clearly, Lord Gao gritted his teeth and began to fight.

At the same time, Qian Chaoyun and the others removed their disguises. A terrifying holy aura spread outward as the Angel Domain instantly unfolded.

"Third Soul Skill, Sacred Battle Intent."

"Second Soul Skill, Angel Illumination."

As the two soul skills appeared, the entire Bright Moon Chamber of Commerce became as bright as day. Countless Evil Spirit Masters howled as Qian Chaoyun, wielding the Angel Holy Sword, cut them down.

The entire process took less than a minute.

Ling Luochen immediately seized Zhong Liyun by the throat and unleashed her soul skill, Ice Crystal Pierce.

In an instant, Zhong Liyun became a corpse.

Then, the three began a slaughter within the Bright Moon Chamber of Commerce, leaving no Evil Spirit Masters alive and wiping them out completely.

In just a few minutes, quite a few of the Evil Spirit Masters who had gathered there earlier had already died beneath Qian Chaoyun's sword.

Empowered by the Third Soul Skill, Qian Chaoyun's Combat Power soared.

In only a few minutes, he received quite a few system rewards. Sword strike after sword strike, he swiftly sent the Evil Spirit Masters to reincarnation.

After dealing with another Evil Spirit Master, Qian Chaoyun pursued Elder Zhou, who possessed six rings.

Elder Zhou gave a cold shout and instantly activated Martial Soul Possession.

At that moment, the ugly Brain Eater martial soul revealed itself and let out a strange laugh at Qian Chaoyun.

Qian Chaoyun shot forward, and his Second Soul Ring lit up.

"Angel Illumination."

In an instant, the Brain Eater Evil Spirit Master was burned by the terrifying Holy Power, writhing in agony and howling.

Just as Qian Chaoyun's sword came down, the Evil Spirit Master possessed by the Brain Eater bit down on the Angel Holy Sword.

However, he discovered that the sword was far too hard to bite through.

Qian Chaoyun's Soul Power erupted as he fiercely swung his sword.

Boom—!

The blazing sword light sent him flying, smashing through numerous buildings.

A crack also appeared on the Brain Eater's head, green blood continuously pouring out from it.

However, the Brain Eater Evil Spirit Master seized the restrained Tang Qi and Dai Yueheng.

He laughed loudly. "If you don't want these two to die here, then let me go obediently. Let's all make money peacefully—don't take things too far."

Tang Qi also shouted, "Save us! Save your Senior!"

The Brain Eater soul master became even more delighted.

He believed that he would finally be able to leave alive.

Trading these two brats' lives for his own—there was no better deal than that.

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu and Ling Luochen also came to Qian Chaoyun's side.

Xu Jiujiu said, "Chaoyun, why not let this guy go? After all, the people in his hands are Shrek students, and they're your companions."

Ling Luochen pursed her lips but said nothing.

However, Qian Chaoyun raised his holy sword and pointed it at him. "You grabbed him. Why should I spare your life? Since you want to play so badly, then let's see whose blade is faster."

The Brain Eater Evil Spirit Master's pupils shrank sharply. He shouted, "What are you doing? What do you want to do? They're your companions! You don't even care about your companions' lives anymore?"

At the same time, Qian Chaoyun's Fifth Soul Ring lit up. He soared into the air as an angelic phantom appeared behind him, both hands gripping the Angel Holy Sword.

The Angel Holy Sword grew incomparably massive, radiating brilliant sword light.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Great Angel Seal Demon Slash!"

Slash—!

With a thunderous boom, the gigantic angelic sword swung out, its gleaming blade cleaving down from thin air.

Then, he unleashed Mental Shock once more.

The Brain Eater's body froze. By the time it recovered its senses, the enormous Angel Holy Sword was already chopping down toward its head.

"Ah—!"

The Brain Eater Evil Spirit Master let out a pained groan and vanished from this world.

Dai Yueheng and Tang Qi forcibly took the full force of the Fifth Soul Skill. They spat out mouthfuls of blood, their auras weak and listless.

At that moment, their minds were completely blank.

Qian Chaoyun had gone mad!

What he had just said was simply not something a normal person could say.

This guy did not see them as human at all.

Xu Jiujiu was stunned as well. Staring blankly at Ling Luochen, she said, "Is this his other side when carrying out missions? He's actually... this decisive."

Ling Luochen rolled her eyes. "Is this your first day knowing Qian Chaoyun? Otherwise, where do you think the title Evil Soul Master Slaughter Machine came from?"

Though she said that on the surface, she was deeply shaken inside.

In order to kill Evil Soul Masters, Qian Chaoyun had been so decisive that he had not even treated his two companions as people, cutting them down along with the enemy.

This guy was truly ruthless.

At that moment, Qian Chaoyun withdrew the Holy Sword and silently looked at the system panel.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for slaying a six-ring Evil Soul Master. Attribute enhancement acquired.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for slaying a large number of low-rank Evil Soul Masters. Soul Power improvement reward acquired.]

[Distributing rewards...]

Very soon, he felt his three major attributes rise once more, while his Soul Power surged to its peak as well.

Level fifty-nine!

He had made it!

Sure enough, killing Evil Soul Masters was the fastest path to advancement.
