Five black-robed figures emerged from the heat-distorted air, fanning out to surround them.
The leader's aura was cold and obscure, identical to that of the black-robed Titled Douluo whom Incineroar had sent flying with a single slap earlier. He was clearly someone who had come from Slaughter City as well.
"Why do these people's Soul Power fluctuations feel so strange...?"
Qin Ming frowned tightly and instinctively hid behind Incineroar.
The other four were all Soul Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters, greed and cruelty flickering in their eyes.
"Law Fragments... they came from that brat!" One Soul Douluo licked his lips. "And that beast... it's injured!"
Qin Ming promptly returned the fragment, and Incineroar fused with the Law Fragment, its aura surging sharply.
Incineroar let out a low growl and stepped sideways, placing itself between Qin Ming and the Evil Soul Masters.
The Burn from its earlier battle with other Pokemon still afflicted its shoulder and back, throbbing faintly under the stimulation of killing intent.
Yet the ferocity in its orange-yellow eyes did not diminish. Its Intimidate Ability erupted at full strength, attempting to frighten off the approaching enemies.
"Hmph, putting on a brave front!" the leading Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master sneered. His Killing Domain abruptly contracted, like invisible blood-red shackles attempting to bind Incineroar and suppress its movements.

The four Soul Douluo Evil Soul Masters struck at once. Their soul skills were not direct attacks, but dark-red, filthy energy chains that lashed toward Incineroar's limbs and neck from every direction. They clearly intended to restrict its terrifying explosive power.
The Titled Douluo then struck down with his palm from midair, and a massive dark-blood claw condensed from killing intent descended over Incineroar's head!
Incineroar roared furiously,
