Explosive Slaughter!

"How could this be?"

"Watch out!"

The moment everyone saw that Soul Ring configuration, they realized they had provoked a monster, and killing intent flashed in their eyes.

Such a person absolutely could not be allowed to live! He had to be killed! Otherwise, once he grew stronger, they would undoubtedly die!

Yet the very next second, the golden saber in the middle-aged man's hand vanished.

A look of terror appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

He actually could not summon his Martial Soul, and his Martial Soul was even trembling in fear within his body!

At that moment, a black shadow appeared before him, and a staff was already smashing down toward him.

Bang!!!!!!!!!!

Li Fei was too fast; no one had time to react.

The middle-aged man's head burst apart from a single blow of the staff!

"Your Highness!"

After the others came to their senses, their faces turned pale. The son of such an important figure had actually been killed with his head smashed apart by a single staff strike!

He was a six-ringed Soul Saint, after all!

No matter how monstrous the other party's Soul Rings were, he was only a Soul Elder!

How had he done it!?

They wanted to step forward and capture Li Fei.

The Prince's son was dead. They had to capture someone alive—they absolutely could not bring back a corpse, or they would be finished.

They would also be finished if they failed to capture anyone!

However, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Li Yusong naturally would not give these people a chance to get near Li Fei.

They charged forward at the same time.

"Brute, I'm your opponent!"

Zhao Wuji summoned his Martial Soul Avatar and directly held back the opposing Soul Saint.

The opposing Soul Saint's expression darkened. "You're finished! This is the son of a Prince of the Balak Kingdom! You killed him, so you're absolutely finished! Is that the Dragon Pattern Staff? You're from the Li Family? Once I return and report this, your Li Family can wait to be exterminated!"

Zhao Wuji said disdainfully, "Heh. As long as you die and we destroy the evidence, no one will know we did it! Brute, take this!"

Zhao Wuji was level seventy-seven, while the man before him was only level seventy-one.

For Zhao Wuji, an elite among Soul Saints, killing him was far too easy!

The two sides clashed fiercely.

At the same time, battle broke out on the other side as well.

Bang bang bang!!!!!!

Flender summoned his Martial Soul Avatar and, together with Li Yusong, unleashed killing moves upon the remaining five Soul Emperors.

Li Fei's Martial Soul had appeared, and these people's Martial Souls were all suppressed. Though they were not so terrified that their Martial Souls hid within their bodies like the Prince's son, their power was greatly reduced, and the effects of their Soul Skills were heavily weakened!

Flender was a level seventy-eight Soul Saint. Working together with Li Yusong, those people had no power to resist, and four of them were quickly killed!

The last one tried to flee, but Li Fei caught up to him and unleashed the Second Force, instantly raising his power by two hundred percent! With the Power of the Azure Dragon stacked on top, the increase far exceeded two hundred percent!

"Nooo!"

That staff strike carried incomparably terrifying explosive force. A heaven-shaking dragon roar rose with it, and the man was smashed into a pulp by a single blow.

Bang—!

The scene was somewhat miserable and brutal, but Li Fei did not feel the slightest discomfort.

"Clean and decisive. Very good!"

Flender and Li Yusong praised him.

The three of them then swiftly sealed off the other routes, preventing that Soul Saint from escaping.

There had originally been seven people, with the advantage on their side. Yet after one round of battle, they had been forcefully slaughtered. Six died outright, leaving only the Soul Saint alive.

That Soul Saint was being pinned to the ground and beaten savagely by Zhao Wuji. Even summoning his Martial Soul Avatar was useless.

The difference in strength between the two was simply too great. On top of that, Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul specialized in close-range, high-damage explosive attacks!

Every blow was terrifying!

Moreover, the dragon roar of the Azure Dragon Staff nearby intimidated him, preventing that Soul Saint from using his full strength.

His face was already filled with utter despair.

"No, don't kill me! I'm willing to work for you!" The Soul Saint had been beaten black and blue. His whole body trembled as he immediately surrendered.

The gap between his strength and Zhao Wuji's was simply too great!

"What do you think?" Zhao Wuji looked toward Li Fei and the others.

"Someone like him can't be trusted." Li Fei shook his head. "Compared to a living person, a dead person is more reassuring."

As soon as those words were spoken, Zhao Wuji grinned, revealing a cruel smile. "Sorry, I share their opinion. You should die!"

With that, he drove a full-powered fist down toward the Soul Saint's head!

"No!!!!!!"

Bang!!!!!!

The Soul Saint screamed miserably, and his head was blown apart by a single punch like a watermelon, flesh and blood spraying everywhere.

That Soul Saint was dead beyond any doubt.

Everyone swiftly looted the valuable items from the bodies, then dug a pit and buried them on the spot.

They then took some treasures and meat from the Azure Dragon Turtle and put them into their Soul Tools before quickly leaving the area.

Unfortunately, their Soul Tools had too little capacity, while the Azure Dragon Turtle's body was too enormous to fit entirely inside. Otherwise, they would not have been willing to leave it behind.

Still, today's experience had been far more thrilling than anything they had encountered before.

In a short time, they had traveled a thousand meters away from that place. They found a lake and washed the blood from their bodies, leaving everyone feeling refreshed.

They lit a fire, took out a large pot, put the Azure Dragon Turtle meat inside, added some prepared seasonings, covered it with a lid, and set it over the fire. Once it was cooked, they could eat.

"Li Fei, how did it feel to kill someone for the first time?" Sitting beside the fire, Li Yusong asked.

Li Fei stared fixedly at the pot and swallowed. After the battle and everything that had happened before and after it, he was now extremely hungry and ravenous.

Especially after absorbing his third Soul Ring, his body required even more energy.

He wished he could eat the entire Azure Dragon Turtle in one sitting.

Hearing his grandfather suddenly ask him that, Li Fei came back to his senses and said, "It didn't feel like much. A Soul Master who never stains his hands with blood can never become strong. Now that I've killed someone for the first time, I can be considered a true Soul Master."

"Li Fei, your mental fortitude is even stronger than we imagined. Others your age, or even those more than ten years older than you, can't help vomiting or developing all sorts of bad reactions when they kill someone for the first time. Yet you have none of that. You've already surpassed a great many Soul Masters," Flender and Zhao Wuji praised.

Besides, Li Fei had smashed two people apart with only two staff strikes.

That scene had been far bloodier.

On top of that, Zhao Wuji had personally blown that man's head apart with a punch. Even other Soul Masters who had killed before might have felt briefly uncomfortable after seeing such scenes, much less Soul Masters who had never killed anyone.

Yet Li Fei remained completely calm. He did not seem like a six-year-old who had only just awakened his Martial Soul.

None of Li Fei's actions belonged in the category of a six-year-old. He was more like someone in his twenties or thirties.

But the reality was that he was six years old.

At least, that was how they saw him.

"I'm a prodigy. What others can't do, I can," Li Fei said calmly.

"Hahaha!!!! Good!" The three of them laughed heartily.

"But that man was the son of a Prince, the brother of the King of the Balak Kingdom. Now that he's died here, even though he's been buried, there will definitely be a huge commotion later. I wonder whether it will affect us."

A trace of worry flashed through Flender's eyes.

No matter how strong they were, they could not contend against an entire nation's army.

They could wear you down to death.

Besides, the Balak Kingdom had no shortage of Soul Saints!

"If soldiers come, generals will block them; if water comes, earth will dam it," Li Fei said.
