Xu Tianming paid no attention to the evil soul masters' laughter.
Before launching his attack, he lightly patted Meng Hongchen's shoulder twice, then smiled faintly at her and spoke in a voice only she could hear:
"Don't worry. I'm here, and even if things go badly, Elder Ye is still hidden in the shadows to back us up. We'll be fine."
"Mm, I believe in you, Brother Tianming!"
After reassuring Meng Hongchen, Xu Tianming sent a sliver of his consciousness into his spiritual sea:
"Mavuika, are you ready?"
"Don't worry, I've been ready for ages. It's been far too long since I stretched my limbs—I'm itching for a fight."
Mavuika and Columbina within his spiritual sea could possess Xu Tianming's body.
However, doing so would greatly drain their soul power, so they would not possess him lightly under normal circumstances.
After communicating with Mavuika, Xu Tianming immediately activated his second soul skill, Night Soul Domain, selecting Meng Hongchen, the hidden Ye Yulin, and the nearby Zhang Lexuan, whose expression was complicated, as the targets of Night Soul Transfer.
In an instant, a strange sensation arose in Zhang Lexuan's heart. Before she could think it through, however, the young man's voice sounded by her ear:
"Don't overthink it. If you want to live, accept this power with your mind!"
That voice seemed to carry some mystical force. Zhang Lexuan instinctively chose to trust him and obediently did as he said.
Then, to her astonishment, she discovered that an amount of soul power equal to thirty percent of her peak state had appeared within her body out of nowhere!
Unbelievable. Utterly unbelievable!
Yet the shock Xu Tianming brought her did not end there.
In her eyes, this mysterious young man whom she had accidentally dragged into danger merely changed his stance, and his entire aura underwent a qualitative transformation.
He was clearly still the same youth, yet the presence he exuded now was like that of a battle-hardened god of war! It was as though he had become a completely different person.
Zhang Lexuan's feeling was not mistaken.
Because Mavuika's soul power had already completed its possession.
After sensing the immense power Mavuika had accumulated over the years, Xu Tianming hesitated no longer. He handed the defensive soul tool he carried to Meng Hongchen, then directly activated his third soul skill, All-Fire Armament, and mounted his soul-engine motorcycle.
The ability of All-Fire Armament was to greatly strengthen Xu Tianming's control over fire, while this specially made soul-engine motorcycle was constructed entirely from a rare fire-attributed metal.
Thus, when Xu Tianming activated All-Fire Armament, his control over the soul-engine motorcycle greatly increased. Though he could not achieve the same unity of man and vehicle as Mavuika, he could still use the motorcycle to smash people like a greatsword.
Ever since this specially made soul-engine motorcycle had been built, Xu Tianming had wanted to fight this way. He had thought it would be a long time before he got the chance, but unexpectedly, the opportunity came knocking the very next day after the motorcycle was completed.
What would happen when a soul-engine motorcycle weighing nearly half a ton smashed into someone? Just thinking about it filled Xu Tianming with an excitement he could barely suppress.
Once he felt that All-Fire Armament had completely taken control of the soul-engine motorcycle beneath him, Xu Tianming smoothly activated his fourth soul skill, Burning Radiance Ring. Yet rather than immediately unleashing heavenly fire to bombard his enemies, he gripped the motorcycle's throttle in one hand and held the Judgment Sword in the other, aiming the front of the vehicle at the six-ringed Soul Emperor who had puffed out his chest at him earlier.
The instant the motorcycle's front was aimed at him, the six-ringed evil soul master's smile vanished. An unprecedented sense of danger swept through his entire body.
Yet before he could react, Xu Tianming had already twisted the throttle to the limit. With a roar, the soul-engine motorcycle beneath him charged straight at the six-ringed evil soul master, whose expression had frozen, like a wild horse breaking free of its reins.
Since the distance between them was less than twenty meters, in under a second, the evil soul master was sent flying by Xu Tianming's motorcycle before he had time to react!
The terrifying impact instantly broke several of his ribs, making him spit out a mouthful of blood as he flew more than ten meters away. He then lay twitching on the ground, completely losing his ability to fight.
From the moment Xu Tianming activated Night Soul Domain to the moment he sent that evil soul master flying, the entire sequence had taken only ten short seconds.
These evil soul masters, who had slaughtered countless living beings, found it hard to imagine that a little brat who looked too weak to even truss a chicken could severely wound a six-ringed Soul Emperor to such a degree in such a short time!
After witnessing it, several evil soul masters even thought they had unknowingly fallen under an illusion, refusing to believe what had happened before their eyes was real.
But Xu Tianming had no intention of wasting time.
After sending that six-ringed evil soul master flying, he took advantage of the brief moment before the others could react. He directly controlled the soul-engine motorcycle with All-Fire Armament and rammed it toward another six-ringed evil soul master who was still stunned. Meanwhile, before the motorcycle shot out, he leaped into the air with the Judgment Sword in hand and activated his first soul skill, War Intent Burst.
In an instant, the battle intent he had long accumulated transformed into incomparably dense soul power that filled his entire body. Then, guided by his own strength and Mavuika's, that massive soul power was instantly poured into the Judgment Sword.
Then he locked onto the strongest of the evil soul masters and swung his sword at him without hesitation:
"Be buried beneath crimson flames!"
A seven-ringed evil soul master's reaction speed was ultimately somewhat faster than that of a six-ringed one. However, facing Xu Tianming's incomparably swift strike, he could only hastily throw up a somewhat crude defense.
Under Xu Tianming's full-force slash, a terrifying wave of flames surged from the Judgment Sword. It was at least three times stronger than the strike that had slain the Human-Faced Demon Spider not long ago!
"Arghhh!"
The moment the terrifying wave of flames struck the soul power defense before him, the seven-ringed evil soul master's eyes widened. He immediately pushed his soul power at unprecedented speed to reinforce his defense, desperately resisting that horrifying attack.
It was unbelievable—he had actually sensed the threat of death within that strike!
However, while he focused on the defense in front of him, Xu Tianming's lips curled slightly upward:
"If you can block the front, what about the back?"
As he spoke, Xu Tianming activated Burning Radiance Ring, summoning heavenly fire behind the seven-ringed evil soul master and blasting him.
Caught off guard and struck by the attack, the evil soul master immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The soul power within his body was directly weakened by more than ten percent!
The sudden change threw the soul power within his body into disarray, causing the defense in front of him to collapse in an instant. The flame wave, still retaining at least half its power, slashed directly into his body and sent him flying as well. The enormous wave of flames also swept over two six-ringed evil soul masters who had failed to react in time.
In less than half a minute, Xu Tianming had struck like lightning, cleanly sending two enemies flying with his soul-engine motorcycle and using Sinking Sun Slash to leave the strongest enemy nearly unable to fight.
This display of combat prowess thrilled Meng Hongchen, who had witnessed the entire battle, and she immediately cheered loudly;
Meanwhile, Zhang Lexuan and the hidden Ye Yulin were nearly left jaw-dropped by the scene, and the same thought coincidentally surfaced in both their minds:
Why is he/His Fourth Highness so fierce?!
