Peak Soul King Evil Soul Master: Blood Infant

Peak Soul King Evil Soul Master: Blood Infant

"Yes, Senior Disciple Sister!"

Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao turned serious at once. No longer in the mood for jokes, they hurried downstairs.

Ye Chen followed closely behind.

Then Zhang Lexuan's voice came from behind him. "Xiao Chen, if you feel like you can't handle it, call for your sister anytime. I'll always be behind you."

Although Academy rules stated that protectors could not interfere with student missions unless necessary.

How could she bear to let Ye Chen, her most beloved sworn little brother, suffer even the slightest harm?

"Mm, Sister is the best~" Ye Chen smiled back at her, then quickly caught up with the others.

"He's really adorable..." Seeing Ye Chen's sunny smile, Zhang Lexuan's heart trembled slightly, and her fondness for him deepened.

Although this evil Soul Master stronghold was hidden in the mountains, it had been far too brazen and was easily tracked down by the Inspection Team's intelligence agents.

Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Ye Chen raced through the night, following the intelligence directly into the area.

Before long, the three arrived at a valley.

The valley was brightly lit. The enemy had built directly against the mountain, carving out numerous cave dwellings in its side. There were surely many tunnels within as well—fight if they could win, flee if they could not.

According to the intelligence, there were over a hundred people in the valley. They were all subordinates of that Soul King evil Soul Master, including ordinary people and Soul Masters.

There was only one true evil Soul Master: the one cultivating an evil art with infants.

The others could only be considered evildoers, not evil Soul Masters.

Most rogue evil Soul Masters shared several traits: atrocious innate talent, rapid cultivation, immense combat power, short lifespans, and extremely harsh cultivation requirements.

Thus, the number of true evil Soul Masters was very small.

Still, while the others were merely small fry, there were many of them, and every last one was ruthless. They fought without scruples, so even Ling Luochen did not dare let down her guard.

Ma Xiaotao led Ling Luochen and Ye Chen closer on tiptoe, looking for the right opportunity.

Their primary goal was to kill the Soul King evil Soul Master—the chief culprit—so they had to be cautious. They could not alert the enemy and let him escape.

Ideally, they could wait outside and catch him.

But before long, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen could no longer sit still...

Because they saw several masked figures emerge from a distant path. The leader was even carrying two unconscious infants in his hands.

Clearly, they had just snatched them from a nearby village. Blood still stained their bodies, most likely belonging to the children's families...

"You beasts! I'll kill you all!"

At the sight, Ma Xiaotao could no longer hold herself back. Transforming into a Fire Phoenix, she directly spat a streak of fire at them.

"Whoosh—"

Several flaming beams accurately burned those black-clad men to ashes.

The leader holding the infants was a Soul Master, but the instant he summoned his martial soul, a flaming beam incinerated his head.

"Thud—"

The headless corpse fell. Ma Xiaotao reacted swiftly, catching the two children and carefully placing them aside.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"Kill them!!"

"Fuck... it's a Soul Emperor! Kill my ass, run!"

In an instant, chaos erupted outside the valley.

People in some of the caves had originally grabbed weapons and raised their martial souls, intending to come out and help. But upon seeing the six terrifying Soul Rings behind Ma Xiaotao, every one of them turned and fled.

"Run, run, run! Hurry and notify Lord Blood Infant!"

What kind of insane joke was this? Most of them were only Soul Masters in their teens or twenties. Fighting a Soul Emperor to the death was simply suicide.

Moreover, there was also a Soul King waiting outside.

The best course was to call out Lord Blood Infant to hold off those two experts. Perhaps then they might still have a sliver of a chance to escape.

"Good, very good. Shrek Academy's Inspection Team actually dares to ruin my plans. You have chosen death!"

At that moment, a blood-red figure charged out from one of the caves.

A blood-red infant appeared behind him, letting out a piercing cry.

Though he was only a Soul King, his aura was nearing that of a Soul Emperor. His Soul Ring configuration was even one white, one yellow, and three black!

Clearly, he had obtained those latter three ten-thousand-year Soul Rings only after becoming an evil Soul Master!

Before becoming an evil Soul Master, he had most likely been nothing more than an ordinary Soul Master at the very bottom.

But after becoming an evil Soul Master, he had gained immense power, allowing him to directly absorb ten-thousand-year Soul Rings!

This was also the main reason so many people could not resist temptation and fell into depravity.

Power drove people mad.

Even though the process of becoming an evil Soul Master carried a ninety-nine percent mortality rate, countless low-level Soul Masters still attempted it. Even some genius Soul Masters who had suffered setbacks could not resist temptation and fell into depravity.

"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Countless flaming meteors erupted, blasting toward the Blood Infant evil Soul Master.

At the same time, they indiscriminately bombarded his other subordinates.

After all, everyone here deserved to die.

However, the caves seemed to contain secret tunnels. All of his subordinates rushed into them and escaped the valley through the tunnels.

"Damn it, Shrek Academy is always such a nuisance!"

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's ferocity, the Blood Infant Soul King did not dare take her attack head-on. Instead, he used an eerie movement technique to flee toward the outskirts of the valley as well.

He was an evil Soul Master, not an idiot.

Fighting a top-tier Soul Emperor from Shrek Academy was simply suicide.

His Soul Power cultivation had already reached the peak of Soul King, and while he could unleash an attack equivalent to a Soul Sage's, that was a desperate trump card. Once he used that move, he would die.

Under normal circumstances, he could only display Soul Emperor-level combat power, and he could not sustain it for long.

With a chance to escape, he naturally would not use that move.

"Xiao Chen, hurry! We can't let those accomplices escape!"

Ling Luochen grabbed Ye Chen and rapidly pursued the fleeing men outside the valley.

Ma Xiaotao had Blood Infant covered.

The remaining people naturally fell to Ling Luochen to clean up.

Though these people were not powerful, every one of them was a vicious criminal who deserved death.

If they escaped now, they might become evil Soul Masters in the future. The devastation they could cause would be unimaginable.

"Alright, Senior, let's split up and pursue them!" Ye Chen nodded, and his figure swiftly vanished into the darkness.

"Hey, Junior Brother, don't—"

Ling Luochen had just wanted to tell Ye Chen not to act alone, but his figure had already disappeared.

"Forget it. They're all just small fry. Ye Chen should be fine, and Senior Disciple Sister Ou is watching over him too..." Ling Luochen gritted her teeth and chose another direction to pursue the others.

What Ling Luochen did not know was that Zhang Lexuan was also searching for Ye Chen at that moment...

"Teleportation ability... this little fellow really knows how to hide..."

Zhang Lexuan was somewhat speechless.

Her figure remained hidden in the darkness. From time to time, she struck, killing the villains who fled in her direction.

She had originally been watching Ye Chen, but his Teleportation range seemed extremely far. After he vanished into the darkness in an instant, she lost track of him as well.

Though she did not believe these small fry could harm Ye Chen, she could not help but worry.
