As if an ancient ape from the wilderness had been resurrected, the Titan Giant Ape shook the world, charging recklessly as it bolted into the distance, fueled by rage.
The three Soul Emperors who had been flaunting their power just moments ago were now crushed into critical condition by the giant ape's violent onslaught. Within the deep crater, gravel flew and dust billowed; where was the high-and-mighty arrogance of the Soul Emperor powerhouses now?
"This monkey is truly fierce. One punch per Soul Emperor, and it didn't even blink," Qin Chuan muttered, jumping down from the canopy and walking toward the dust-filled crater.
"Hey, are you all dead? If you're still breathing, make a sound." Qin Chuan looked down at them with a grin.
"You... you bastard, we won't let you... off!" A series of miserable cries drifted intermittently from the crater. It was the three Soul Emperors, now severely wounded with no telling how many broken bones.
The three wailed, having innocently fallen victim to the Titan Giant Ape's cruelty. At this moment, they felt like eating Qin Chuan alive, harboring deep resentment toward him.
They were powerhouses who had dominated their region for decades, yet now they were being played like monkeys by an unknown youth. Even if this person was a visitor from the starry sky, the hatred and humiliation in their hearts were enough to make their chests burst!
"Still have the energy to curse? You seem quite spirited. Alright, now, hand over your storage devices. Quickly, unless you want a beating!"
The roles had been reversed in an instant; the hunters had become the prey, and Qin Chuan now held the upper hand, gripping their fates in his palm.
Qin Chuan picked up a wooden stick and jumped into the crater. Seeing their miserable state, he couldn't help but laugh. He then pointed the stick at the three, looking serious as he proceeded to rob them.
All three were of Soul Emperor cultivation, enjoying glory throughout the soul master world with noble status. They had never encountered such a situation and were furious.
They couldn't help but spit blood again: "You... you bastard, are you seeking death? How dare you rob us?"
Qin Chuan smiled and said nothing more. He raised the wooden stick and struck the Soul Emperor who had spoken.
The stick was imbued with Blood Qi Power, and the blow immediately made the man see stars.
Feeling like it wasn't enough, Qin Chuan rained heavy blows down on the heads of the other two, feeling quite satisfied.
"You..."
All three Soul Emperors were severely injured and could barely move; how could they possibly withstand the Blood Qi Power?
The old Soul Emperor looked miserable and wailed, "We are dignified Soul Emperors, masters of our own domains! To suffer such humiliation... I am not reconciled!"
Bang!
Before the old Soul Emperor could finish, Qin Chuan struck him with the stick again. He didn't hold back, nearly sending the old man to his grave on the spot.
"What are you yelling about? It's endless with you people. Weren't you acting so tough before? With your eyes stuck on the top of your heads, deciding my life and death as you pleased."
"Little brother, it was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
The three hurriedly wailed and begged for mercy, calling him 'little brother' at every turn. Where was the dignity of a Soul Emperor now? They were as humble as ants.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Hurry up, hand over your storage devices, or don't blame me for settling the score with you!"
Perhaps because he was becoming more integrated with this continent, Qin Chuan felt increasingly relaxed. His original personality was being released step by step, revealing his true nature.
The three Soul Emperors felt aggrieved and wanted to say more, but seeing Qin Chuan raise the wooden stick again, they felt a surge of frustration.
However, under Qin Chuan's threat, the three gritted their teeth and eventually had to tearfully hand over their life savings.
The technology on this continent was extremely distorted and backward; even storage Soul Tools were rare items, seldom seen in the world. Of the three Soul Emperors, only the old one possessed a storage device, and it had a tiny space.
"How stingy. And you call yourselves Soul Emperors? You're like a bunch of paupers." Qin Chuan was deeply disappointed. Refusing to believe it, he searched them again, but these three Soul Emperors were truly poor beyond measure.
Aside from a few Gold Soul Coin, there were only a few herbs, and they were of such low age that he didn't even bother looking at them.
"You've been at this for decades and only saved up this much trash? No wonder your strength is so pathetic. You've wasted most of your lives!"
After a round of mockery that left the three Soul Emperors red-faced and nearly gasping for air, Qin Chuan finally took his leave.
Before leaving, he dealt them a final, ruthless blow, crippling them entirely.
From that day on, there were no more three Soul Emperors in the world, only three cripples worse off than ordinary people!
I hope Sister Xue is alright! Qin Chuan whispered to himself, his eyes drooping slightly, feeling worried for Qian Renxue.
His slender frame darted through the forest at high speed. Retracing his steps, he quickly approached the location where Qian Renxue was.
Golden flames burned across the sky, and soul power rolled like surging waves. Qian Renxue was fighting three opponents alone, yet she was still struggling to hold on, having not yet been defeated.
"Miss Qian Renxue, we do not wish to harm you. You should surrender; that way, you can avoid unnecessary physical suffering." The three Soul Emperors urged her to give up.
After the initial clash, Qian Renxue had revealed her identity. Since it was well-known on the continent that the Angel martial soul was only inherited by Martial Soul Hall, the three quickly confirmed her true identity and grew wary.
"You are all people of this continent. Why act as accomplices to evil and help these people harm the common folk?" Qian Renxue shouted, her tone stern.
She was trying to shake their resolve.
"Miss Qian Renxue, since you refuse to surrender, don't blame us for being ruthless!" Hearing this, the three Soul Emperors' expressions turned cold, and a fierce glint flashed in their eyes.
The battle in the distance was intensifying, signaling that it would soon be over. They had to settle everything before Luo Lie and the God-Demon Realm elder returned; only then could they prove their value and gain enough recognition.
By comparison, the so-called pursuit by Martial Soul Hall didn't seem so serious anymore.
"Fifth Soul Skill - Python Tail!"
"Third Soul Skill - Cloud Tower Suppression!"
"Fourth Soul Skill - Fierce Claw Blazing Light!"
The three Soul Emperors each unleashed their soul skills, locking onto Qian Renxue.
To be safe, they held nothing back, each employing vicious methods, preparing to capture Qian Renxue as quickly as possible.
"Angel Domain!"
The joint assault of the three Soul Emperor was immensely powerful, forcing even Qian Renxue to feel immense pressure and go all out.
The brilliant golden light contained divine power, encompassing all things, while the Sun True Fire swirled around, covering the earth for dozens of meters in every direction.
Even the three Soul Emperor were enveloped within it.
The raging Sun True Fire burned madly within the Angel Domain, purifying all evil and falsehood!
"What is this? Damn it, my soul power is being suppressed; I can't circulate it properly!" one Soul Emperor cried out in alarm, his clothes scorched and still clinging with wisps of divine aura.
The other two Soul Emperor fared no better, their faces blackened; scorched by the Sun True Fire within the domain, their clothes caught fire, and they were nearly injured on the spot.
All of their attacks dissolved into specks of light within the flames, failing to produce the slightest effect.
"Hmph, since you chose betrayal, then taste the wrath of an angel!"
Qian Renxue let out a soft cry, and the brilliant phantom of an angel descended once more. The flames within the Angel Domain seemed to receive a blessing, burning even more fiercely to incinerate all falsehood and evil.
The three Soul Emperor within the domain felt their hearts skip a beat. The golden light suppressed their soul power, yet it only fueled the Sun True Fire, leaving them scrambling to survive; not only did they have to resist the erosion of the Sun True Fire, but they also had to constantly guard against Qian Renxue's sneak attacks.
The Angel Domain is my innate domain, capable of suppressing any enemy who enters it, but I am only a level 60 Soul King after all, and I haven't even absorbed my soul rings; in terms of soul power reserves, I cannot compete with these veteran Soul Emperor.
Qian Renxue's phoenix brows locked in a deep frown. The current situation remained unsolvable; even though the Angel Domain could suppress the three of them, it could not kill them, only wound them.
Yet her Angel Domain required a constant stream of soul power to maintain. To win this war of attrition, unless her soul power could exceed the combined total of the three Soul Emperor, failure was inevitable.
