Slaughter and Scheming

If he had been an ordinary Soul Master, he would probably have died here.

But they seemed to have forgotten that Si Tingxuan was no ordinary Soul Master.

Fire God Palm!

Flames erupted from Si Tingxuan's palms.

The vines binding him were instantly burned away.

Then, the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit Left Arm Bone on his body appeared at once.

"A soul bone?"

The Two-Headed Wolf Soul Master's expression changed!

That information had not been in the intel!

It immediately put him on guard!

However, the arrow was already on the string; there was no turning back now.

Just as he was about to reach Si Tingxuan, the wolf claws on his hands swung out, striking directly at Si Tingxuan's chest and head.

Si Tingxuan stood there without moving.

It was as though he had not even seen the attack, instantly ignoring the Soul Skill coming from another Soul Master behind him as well.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, yet a chilling gleam flashed through his eyes.

"Left Arm Bone—Second Soul Bone Skill—Invincible Golden Body!"

Golden light instantly bloomed from the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit Left Arm Bone, enveloping Si Tingxuan completely.

Bang!

When the Soul Sage with the Two-Headed Wolf martial soul struck the golden light around Si Tingxuan with his wolf claws, his attack was stopped cold. It did not harm Si Tingxuan in the slightest.

"Not good."

He was a Soul Sage, after all, and his reaction was extremely fast. When his attack failed, he immediately tried to retreat!

But how could Si Tingxuan let him have his way? He said coldly, "Too late."

He reached out and grabbed one of the man's arms, then pushed the Dragon Elephant Divine Art to its limit!

Then he yanked hard.

The Two-Headed Wolf Soul Master discovered in horror that, in Si Tingxuan's grasp, he was like a weightless doll.

He was dragged straight over.

No matter how he struggled, it was utterly useless.

Then, the horror in his eyes turned to terror.

Because he realized that he was being flung behind Si Tingxuan.

That was where one of his companions' Soul Skills was headed—Si Tingxuan was using him as a shield.

Although Si Tingxuan was still in an invincible state, he did not mind making use of the enemy's Soul Skill to deal the Two-Headed Wolf Soul Master a fatal blow.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The arrows formed from Soul Power all struck the Two-Headed Wolf Soul Master!

In an instant, his body was mangled beyond recognition, riddled with bloody holes. Without the protection of a Soul Skill, no one could withstand the damage of a Soul Skill with their bare body alone.

Thus, that single blow took half his life.

Si Tingxuan threw him directly onto the ground.

Then: "Left Arm Bone—First Soul Bone Skill—Flash!"

Si Tingxuan vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already fifty meters away, in the direction the arrows had come from.

"Gasp!"

The Soul Sage who had been hiding there to launch a sneak attack was behind a large tree forty meters away.

Clearly, the moment he saw Si Tingxuan vanish, he understood that his opponent likely possessed a teleportation-type Soul Skill. In a forest, such a skill was truly elusive and unpredictable.

More importantly, although Si Tingxuan did not know exactly where he was, it was easy enough to determine the general direction.

Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he instinctively turned around.

Si Tingxuan had flashed fifty meters and appeared behind him. As he surveyed the surroundings, he immediately spotted him.

Their eyes met!

The space around them instantly froze!

Si Tingxuan sized him up. He was an old man, seventy or eighty years old.

His Martial Soul was a bow, and his soul rings were two yellow, three purple, and two black.

Si Tingxuan grinned, flashing him an incomparably brilliant smile. "I didn't expect to find you so quickly!"

The old man, however, felt like crying!

Damn it!

At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to go back and slap the Vice Bishop who had assigned them this mission twice!

How had he failed to mention something as important as Si Tingxuan possessing a soul bone?

And was this guy really just a Soul Emperor?

What the hell!

Qin Xiaofeng, a strength-type assault Soul Master with the Two-Headed Wolf Martial Soul, had been no different from a child in his hands.

If this was a Soul Emperor—

I'll eat shit!

He cursed inwardly, but he understood that there was no way back now.

The Seventh Soul Ring on his body immediately lit up. "Seventh Soul Ring Skill—Martial Soul Avatar!"

The bow in his hand instantly grew several times larger.

The small bow that had originally been only half a meter long became even taller than he was.

Then, the Sixth Soul Ring on his body lit up. "Sixth Soul Ring Skill—Thunder Arrow."

"Crackle, crackle."

He aimed the bow in his hand at Si Tingxuan. Powerful electric currents gathered in his hand, forming a Thunder Arrow.

He released the string!

The Thunder Arrow shot out instantly, traveling at terrifying speed and reaching Si Tingxuan in the blink of an eye.

Si Tingxuan's pupils narrowed. He had to admit that this attack posed a tremendous threat to him.

But—

Hadn't that guy forgotten something?

A disdainful smile appeared on his face as the 100,000-year Soft Bone Rabbit Left Arm Bone flashed.

"Left Arm Bone—First Soul Bone Skill—Flash!"

Si Tingxuan vanished from where he stood once more.

When he reappeared, he was already less than three meters from the old man's side.

An Ice Sword appeared in Si Tingxuan's hand. At the same time, he activated Icy Palm, continuously channeling frigid energy into the Ice Sword Martial Soul.

With a swing of his hand—

"Swish!"

The Ice Sword traced a graceful arc through the air before landing on the old man's neck.

"Thud, thud, thud."

The old man's head rolled from his shoulders, yet not a single drop of blood spilled.

Looking closer, his wound had long since frozen over.

The next moment!

Flash!

Si Tingxuan vanished again, reappearing in his original position.

The Two-Headed Wolf Soul Master he had thrown to the ground earlier had already disappeared, leaving behind only bloodstains.

But with the Two-Headed Wolf Soul Master's injuries, he could not possibly have escaped on his own. Someone must have helped him.

A faint smile appeared on Si Tingxuan's face.

At the same time, a middle-aged man was carrying the Two-Headed Wolf Soul Master on his back, fleeing madly toward the town.

He was the control-type Soul Master among the three.

When Si Tingxuan threw the Two-Headed Wolf Soul Master down, he had been faced with two choices.

First, hide without moving or flee directly. After seeing Si Tingxuan toy with the Two-Headed Wolf Soul Master as though he were in the palm of his hand, he understood that the three of them were far from Si Tingxuan's match.

This assassination was doomed to fail.

Second, take advantage of Si Tingxuan attacking their other companion to immediately save him, then flee.

Clearly, he had chosen the second option.

At that moment, his face was full of terror.

"Fuck... a Soul Emperor? Soul Emperor my ass!"

"Defeating a Soul Sage in one move? Could there really be such a freakishly powerful Soul Emperor?"

"That guy definitely became a Soul Sage in the past few days! Otherwise, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't possibly be this strong!"

"But he'd clearly been staying at the Hua Family these past few days! He never went out, so how did he obtain a soul ring?"

"Could it be that he's still a Soul Emperor?"

"If that's true... damn, that's way too monstrous!"

"And Lao Zhang, it's not that I'm betraying our brotherhood, but I have no other choice. The three of us launched a surprise attack together, yet it was broken in an instant, and Qin Xiaofeng was taken out."

"Even if I rushed over and joined forces with you, I'm afraid we'd only end up being wiped out completely."

Yet he failed to notice that blood occasionally dripped from Qin Xiaofeng's body, which he carried on his back.

It stained the grass and trees along the way.
