Bandit Extermination Operation

"Yuhao, come here quickly, don't let those scoundrels find us."

At the edge of a steep cliff, Tang Ya softly called Huo Yuhao to her and Jiang Nannan's side.

Just like that, Huo Yuhao was sandwiched between Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.

Half of each of their bodies pressed against him. When Huo Yuhao looked up, he saw... he could only secretly activate his first Soul Skill.

Below the cliff was a basin with a flat terrain.

Quite a few people were standing in the basin. Huo Yuhao roughly counted them; there were about thirty or so.

Among these thirty-plus people, there was a middle-aged man with a sinister appearance, exuding the aura of a three-ring cultivation. He was devouring the roasted suckling pig in front of him.

The middle-aged man ate heartily, while the group surrounding him could only sustain themselves with dry rations.

"Boss Xiang, we can't keep hiding like this! That crazy woman will find us sooner or later."

The middle-aged man, whose face was glistening with grease, looked up. "Then what do you want us to do? Big Brother died at her hands."

"That crazy woman is an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Do you want me, a mere three-ring, to go up and get myself killed?"

The thin, seemingly quite shrewd man quickly waved his hands. "How could I possibly? Boss, without you, we're just a group of unarmed ordinary people."

"You wouldn't dare to plot against me even if I gave you a hundred chances."

"Then shut up and don't disturb my meal." The middle-aged man cursed and continued to enjoy his delicious lunch.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were on the cliff. The man in the lead was their target for today.

"He has so many people around him during the day, it's not convenient for us to make a move."

"Then let's wait until night!"

As night fell, the group Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan were observing lit a fire. Everyone except their boss went to sleep, taking turns on guard duty.

Two men, who had just been woken up, reluctantly yawned as they took over the guard duty. Just as they were struggling to open their eyes...

Deep blue, vine-like, incredibly thick grass instantly constricted their throats. They couldn't even make a sound before suffocating.

It wasn't just them; everyone else lying on the ground was entangled by the blue, vine-like grass and lost their breath.

It was Tang Ya. She had activated her first Soul Skill, Blue Silver Grass Entanglement.

A figure silently approached the spot where their boss was lying.

Second Soul Skill, Gravity Control.

First Soul Skill, Waist Bow.

Just as these two Soul Skills were about to hit the boss...

The boss suddenly opened his eyes and quickly retreated.

"Damn it, a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. Two mere three-ring Soul Elders dare to trouble me, Mizun Wanbuyao."

Wanbuyao spat. "You people are from Shrek Academy."

Tang Ya held a deep blue Blue Silver King, her two yellow and one purple Soul Rings pulsing. She walked to Jiang Nannan, whose Soul Ring configuration was identical to hers.

"It doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that today is the day you die," Tang Ya said.

Jiang Nannan's expression turned serious. This guy could actually dodge her sure-hit attack, even though there were no prior signs of him dodging.

"Kill me? What big words for a little girl like you."

"You look no older than ten-something. You must taste quite tender."

"You walk the path to heaven but choose the gates of hell. Today, I shall accept you two without courtesy."

Wanbuyao let out a lewd laugh and summoned his Martial Soul, a purplish-black flower.

This was precisely his Martial Soul, Miro Flower, with two yellow and one purple Soul Rings hanging down.

Wanbuyao's gaze became even more fervent. With his Martial Soul present, these two little lambs wouldn't be able to escape.

Miro Flower was a relatively rare plant-type Soul Beast. Its combat ability wasn't strong, but in one aspect, it was exceptionally potent.

It could incite and ignite desire.

Back then, Wanbuyao awakened this Martial Soul and even worked as a divine doctor for a period, earning a lot of money.

Later, during his medical practice, he was caught in the act of being a "Cao thief," killed someone, and then committed various other crimes, which led him to become an Evil Soul Master.

The years he spent as an Evil Soul Master were the happiest of Wanbuyao's life.

Their boss was a Soul Sage, and he treated those who voluntarily surrendered to them unexpectedly well!

Every time they massacred a village, their boss would allow them three minutes of indulgence before the killing began.

If it weren't for the fact that a group calling themselves the Shrek Supervisory Team had launched a devastating attack on their stronghold not long ago, Wanbuyao wouldn't have ended up here.

"Hmph, you Shrek guys, where is that crazy woman who killed my boss?"

"Sending two little girls like you to chase me, it seems you don't cherish your students' lives!"

Wanbuyao distracted the two, releasing the pollen from his Martial Soul while the Soul Rings on his feet flashed.

First Soul Skill, Colorless and Tasteless.

Second Soul Skill, Pollen Movement.

The colorless and tasteless pollen allowed him to spread it without the two girls in front of him noticing.

Pollen Movement could rapidly diffuse his pollen, and these two wouldn't escape his grasp.

Tang Ya's brow furrowed slightly as she saw the guy in front of her spouting nonsense.

"Nannan, this guy is trying to stall for time. Let's finish this quickly!"

Jiang Nannan could also tell. "Okay, Xiaoya, give me protection and cover me."

"Alright!" Tang Ya raised the Blue Silver King in her palm.

Second Soul Skill, Blue Silver Protection.

Two blue lights shot out from the Blue Silver King in Tang Ya's hand, and a faint blue shield appeared on the bodies of Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya.

This was Tang Ya's second Soul Skill, which increased allied defense by 50% while also restoring a certain amount of consumed Soul Power.

Third Soul Skill, Blue Silver Link.

Blue Soul Power chains connected Tang Ya to Jiang Nannan.

This Soul Skill's effect was to completely link the two's Soul Power, allowing them to share each other's Soul Power.

After activating these two Soul Skills, Tang Ya used her first Soul Skill, Blue Silver Grass Entanglement.

Jiang Nannan's three Soul Rings flashed as she charged up, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to her opponent.

Wanbuyao's expression turned grim; his direct combat strength wasn't that high.

Third Soul Skill, Pollen Bomb.

Pink smoke rose one after another, but it couldn't break through the Blue Silver vines surging towards him.

Wanbuyao reluctantly used the move that had previously dodged Jiang Nannan's ultimate skill.

He applied the pollen to himself, becoming agitated, then stomped down forcefully, successfully dodging the Blue Silver vines.

Third Soul Skill, Teleportation.

Jiang Nannan, who had been ready all along, instantly appeared before Wanbuyao.

Jiang Nannan's crouching posture combined with Gravity Control, and her gravity-laden lower leg slammed into Wanbuyao's abdomen.

With a bang!

Wanbuyao was embedded deeply into the surrounding rock wall, his survival uncertain.

"Xiaoya, pull him out of the rock. If he's not dead, I'll give him another kick!"

"No problem."

Tang Ya was about to manipulate the Blue Silver vines to burrow into the deep hole and retrieve Wanbuyao.

However, something moved faster than her—it was Wanbuyao.

Wanbuyao spat out a mouthful of blood. "You two little brats are quite capable to have forced me into this state."

"Next, you won't be laughing so soon!"
