Under the system's guidance, Ye Chen arrived at the only road the Shrek Seven Monsters had to take to Hanhai City an hour later.

This was where, in the original story, the Shrek Seven Monsters had killed the werewolves. It was surrounded by barren wilderness, with scarcely any people around.

Therefore, this was naturally the perfect place to severely injure the Shrek Seven Monsters and seize the Hanhai Cosmic Shield.

Sensing that the five hours were nearly up, Ye Chen had the Six Paths of Pain position themselves on either side of the mountain road, while his true body hid in a village more than ten kilometers away.

He was hiding in a dilapidated little house, no less.

Although Tang San's spiritual power was not weak now, Ye Chen believed that at such a great distance, Tang San could never discover his true body.

Even if Tang San did discover it, he would not know that Ye Chen was controlling the Six Paths of Pain.

Besides... Ye Chen still had a life-saving trump card: the Death Gate Guy Character Card.

In other words, even if Tang San found the true body of the Six Paths of Pain, he would only end up being kicked to death.

"The Shrek Seven Monsters at this point aren't exactly weak, but they aren't truly strong either... Faced with the Six Paths of Pain, who have no weaknesses, I wonder if you'll feel despair..."

A cruel smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips. Through the shared vision of the Six Paths of Pain, he could already see a carriage slowly approaching from afar.

According to the original novel, Tang San and the others had traveled by carriage to Hanhai City in the Far North Land of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Thus, Ye Chen concluded that Tang San and the others were inside this carriage.

Sure enough, as the carriage drew closer, Ye Chen saw Oscar sitting in front.

In the dead of night, Oscar was still dozing off when Tang San, inside the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted a warning.

"Not good, there's danger ahead... There are several men in black standing on both sides of the mountain road."

Tang San had activated his Purple Demon Eyes. Combined with the spiritual power he had spread out, he had indeed discovered the Six Paths of Pain.

"What? Highway robbers? Hahahaha, then they've really kicked an iron plate today. There's nothing to do in the middle of the night anyway, so we can uphold justice while we're at it."

Hearing Tang San's words, Dai Mubai was not nervous. Instead, he became somewhat excited.

Then, the carriage stopped.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San were the first to rush out of the carriage.

The four girls—Bai Chenxiang, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong—also got out.

"Stop playing tricks and show yourselves."

Tang San looked toward a spot farther up the mountain road, his Purple Demon Eyes faintly flashing.

"This Tang San is pretty arrogant. Is it just because he got one of Xiao Wu's 100,000-Year Soul Rings? Today, I'll show you what the oppressive power of the Six Paths of Pain really is..."

Ye Chen looked at Tang San and the others, who were exactly as they appeared in the anime, through his Rinnegan. With a thought, six figures immediately leaped out from the corners on either side of the mountain road and stood before Tang San's group in perfect formation.

"What? These people..."

Dai Mubai's expression changed. He immediately activated White Tiger Possession, and six Soul Rings rose beneath his feet.

Then, everyone else activated their Martial Souls in the shortest time possible.

Among the eight of them, Tang San stood at the front. A red 100,000-Year Soul Ring flickered around him, yet he did not relax in the slightest.

The six men's icy gazes and expressionless faces gave them an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Especially since they could remain so calm even before a 100,000-Year Soul Ring?

That was truly rather unreasonable.

"And those ripple-patterned eyes... What exactly are they? All six of them have the same eyes. Could that be their Martial Soul?"

Tang San felt uneasy. In the end, he was the first to speak.

"Who exactly are you, and what do you want?"

"Pain... Six Paths."

The Deva Path spoke those four words expressionlessly, then took the first step forward, pressing toward Tang San and the others.

"Stop right there."

Tang San raised a hand, and thick Blue Silver Grass shot up from the ground, forming six prisons that trapped all six men within them.

"You disturbed my lover and companions while they were resting... If you apologize, I, Tang San, may consider sparing your lives."

Tang San stared coldly at the six men before him. By now, the unease in his heart had faded, because he felt that if these Six Paths of Pain were truly powerful, they should not have been completely unknown on the continent. He had even fought Titled Douluo before, so what did these six men amount to?

"Heh, apologize... That's hilarious, Tang San. The Six Paths of Pain have no weaknesses. I'd really like to know how you plan to make me lose..."

Ye Chen laughed inwardly. Just as he was about to have the Deva Path make a move, Ma Hongjun had already unleashed a soul skill first.

"Third Brother, don't waste words on them. Six Paths of Pain, my ass. I'll turn them into roast chickens first..."

Ma Hongjun swiftly flew into the air, red flames burning across his body. Then, his fifth black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring lit up instantly.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower."

Ma Hongjun did not intend to waste time. He wanted to swiftly defeat his opponents, show off properly, and make Bai Chenxiang look at him in a new light.

In his view, the six men before him had already been trapped by Tang San's Blue Silver Prison. With a single Phoenix Meteor Shower, he could basically turn all six of them into roast chickens.

Phoenix flames fell from the night sky like meteors, blanketing the heavens as they all attacked the motionless Six Paths of Pain.

"Looks like it's over..."

As the Phoenix Meteor Shower descended, Tang San already felt that there was no point in continuing this battle.

Just as he was about to withdraw his Martial Soul, he suddenly heard a deafening boom.

All the Blue Silver Prisons instantly shattered into pieces. The Preta Path leaped into the air, raised both hands, and aimed them at the sky.

In an instant, every phoenix flame gathered toward his palms as though being drawn into a vortex, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Burp..."

The Preta Path stared blankly at Ma Hongjun and let out a soft burp, as if he had not eaten enough.

"What... H-how is that possible?"

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened, his mouth hanging open as he stared at the scene in disbelief.

Tang San was equally shocked, and he hurriedly warned him.

"Fatty, get down here!"

But Ma Hongjun refused to admit defeat. He gathered his soul power once more and roared.

"Then let's see if you can take this move!"
