Slaughtering Evil Soul Masters and Barak Soldiers

"They're Evil Soul Masters and Barak troops!"

Having instantly recognized their identities, Li Fei's eyes filled with killing intent. An unprecedented rage rose within him, and only one thought remained in his mind: kill every one of these utterly depraved bastards.

Back in Ze'an City, he had heard that Evil Soul Masters would occasionally massacre entire villages in the remote areas near the Balak Kingdom. He had thought he could accept it—wasn't death normal in the world of Soul Masters? But when he truly saw this hellish scene, that self-deceptive consolation vanished in an instant, and he gained a new understanding of this world.

The conscience buried deep within a modern man's heart awakened at once. Li Fei rose to his feet and stretched out his hand, and the Tungsten Steel Rod appeared in his grasp. His Soul Power erupted as four Spirit Rings—purple, purple, black, black—appeared instantly, all radiating an enchanting glow. He slowly walked toward the village square.

"Who's there?!"

The twelve soldiers standing guard immediately noticed someone approaching. They gripped their spears and turned toward Li Fei.

"What? There's still one fish that slipped through the net. Let me..." The young man had naturally heard the commotion as well. He spoke disdainfully, then turned toward Li Fei and froze on the spot. He muttered in disbelief, "What kind of Spirit Ring configuration is that?!"

"You all deserve to die!"

"Second Soul Skill: Adamantine Body!"

Li Fei stared fixedly at the young man, his pure killing intent completely undisguised. Soul Power flowed continuously through his eyes, emitting a golden radiance. His entire body turned gold, and with a crouch, he transformed into a golden afterimage and charged at the young man!

"Kill!"

The captain of the Barak squad was equally shocked by Li Fei's Spirit Ring configuration, but the situation gave him no time for surprise. He shouted, and the twelve men immediately formed a battle formation. White-white, white-yellow, yellow-yellow, and other Spirit Rings appeared. They split into four groups of three, each composed of two shields and one spear, and charged at Li Fei.

Facing the Barak squad made entirely of Soul Masters, Li Fei did not want to say a single word. Soul Power erupted beneath his feet, and his speed increased once more. In the blink of an eye, he reached one of the groups, raised the Tungsten Steel Rod high, and swung it down with all his strength.

"Mountain Suppression: Rock Shatter!"

A heavy mass of Soul Power wrapped around the Tungsten Steel Rod, giving off an oppressive aura as it smashed heavily into the shields. The immense force erupted, instantly shattering the refined steel shields. The flying fragments sent all three men hurtling away. One unlucky soldier had his throat sliced open by a shard and died on the spot.

After obtaining his fourth Soul Skill, Li Fei's physical strength had reached sixteen hundred jin. When his Soul Power erupted, it reached an astonishing six thousand jin. Combined with the eight-hundred-jin Tungsten Steel Rod and the explosive power of the technique, a full-force strike exceeded ten thousand jin.

"What?!"

The young man and the remaining soldiers looked shocked. They had not expected Li Fei to wipe out one of their groups with a single strike.

Li Fei paid no attention to their expressions. He brought his rod down twice more, directly shaking the two men lying on the ground to death, then turned into an afterimage and continued charging toward the young man.

"Third Soul Skill: Bat Shadows Overlapping!"

That previous strike had made the young man understand that if he did not act, then once his soldiers were killed, he had no confidence in facing Li Fei alone. He immediately unleashed his third Soul Skill. His figure split into three, turning into afterimages that attacked Li Fei from three directions alongside the remaining three groups.

"So it's a Vampire Bat Martial Soul. No wonder!"

"Third Soul Skill: Perception!"

His spiritual power surged at full force, leaving the young man's true body with nowhere to hide under his perception. Soul Power churned within Li Fei as he changed direction several times, evading every attack and arriving in the midst of them. Then, Gold Attribute Soul Power began continuously gathering.

"Solemn Reform, Wind Shear!"

With an extremely simple circular rod technique, he swept in a full three hundred and sixty degrees. Golden sword energy instantly spread outward, and several soldiers who failed to dodge in time were cut in half.

However, the motion of that move was too broad, giving the captain and the young man an opportunity to attack. The captain instantly unleashed his second Soul Skill. A faint white glow radiated from the spear in his hand as he stabbed directly toward Li Fei's chest.

The young man also directly unleashed his fifth Soul Skill. Over a hundred blood-colored bats surrounded Li Fei from all directions and began biting him.

"Iron Block!"

The muscles all over Li Fei's body swelled, then instantly contracted. His skin tightened across his entire body as black streams of light continuously rose over it.

Clang!

The spear tip struck Li Fei's chest, producing the sound of metal colliding. The spear shaft bent under the tremendous force, while the bites of the hundred-plus blood-colored bats had no effect at all, merely tearing Li Fei's clothes into shreds.

"What powerful defense. Is he a defense-type Soul Master?!"

The captain's heart jolted. He pushed off with his feet, intending to retreat, but it was already too late. A triumphant smile appeared on Li Fei's lips. His right hand seized the spear shaft before him, while his left swung the rod backward and smashed it into the captain's head.

The immense force directly twisted his dark-red helmet. Blood poured from the captain's seven orifices, and his face contorted as he collapsed.

"Now it's your turn!"

Holding a spear in one hand and a rod in the other, Li Fei wore a bloodthirsty expression that made the young man and the remaining five soldiers involuntarily take a step back.

Li Fei's three-hundred-and-sixty-degree sweep had not been a mistake. He had done it deliberately, intending to lure the strongest opponents—the young man and the captain—into attacking him so he could seize the chance to eliminate one of them.

The defensive boost from Li Fei's second Soul Skill was extremely powerful, and with the Iron Block skill, his defense rose to an even greater level. One was a Second Ring Soul Grandmaster, while the other was an agility-attack-type Soul Master. Neither had particularly strong offensive power, and Li Fei was confident he could withstand their attacks!

The young man was obviously some pampered noble's son. How could he have experienced anything like this? He immediately abandoned the soldiers and turned to fly into the sky.

"You think you can run? Not a chance!"

"Flowing Water: Poison Dragon Drill!"

Seeing the young man flee, Li Fei assumed the posture of throwing a javelin. Black water-attribute Soul Power coiled around the spear as he hurled it with force. The spear spun at high speed, transforming into a black bolt of lightning that pierced through the young man's shoulder and nailed him to a house engulfed in blazing flames.

"Ah!..."

The intense pain, coupled with the searing heat, made the young man scream continuously. His body twisted without stop, but the more he moved, the more his pierced shoulder hurt.

"Run!"

Seeing the situation, the five soldiers turned and fled as well. Li Fei instantly pulled out Bai Ji. After five gunshots—bang! Bang!—the soldiers' lives came to an end.

"Don't kill me! My father is a prince of Barak, the king's younger brother, and he has ties to Emperor Xue Ye too. If you kill me, neither the Balak Kingdom nor the Heaven Dou Empire will let you off!"

Watching Li Fei slowly approach, the young man endured the pain and began threatening him.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you!" Li Fei said with a smile.

"Really?!" The young man looked delighted, thinking his threat had worked. He was already considering how he would find someone to torture this man once he returned.

"Wouldn't killing you outright be letting you off too easily?!" Li Fei revealed a cruel smile. "I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Thank you. Please keep reading until the end—this new book is truly important.
