In the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, in a place called the Frozen Forest, a fierce chase is underway.
Oscar, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, was being relentlessly pursued by three burly men. If it weren't for his exceptional physical strength, he would have been caught long ago.
The three behind him were clearly surprised that Oscar, as a Support System Soul Master, possessed such outstanding physical abilities. More importantly, as Food System Soul Master, he could replenish his Soul Power at any time. If he continued to chase, he would eventually leave them behind.
" Oscar! You stop right there! I promise you, as long as you hand over the Soul Bone in your hand, I will not do anything to you!" shouted a middle-aged man with a thick beard among the three.
Oscar sneered inwardly upon hearing the man's words. He knew the rules here all too well. If he handed over the Soul Bone, they would kill him without hesitation to maintain secrecy.
After all, in this icy wasteland, no one would notice that someone had died. The Soul Beast, lacking food, would wipe him out in no time. So, to survive, he had no choice but to run for his life until he escaped this place.
As for the Soul Bone in his hand, it was the Soul Bone he dropped when he obtained his Sixth Soul Ring.
Upon discovering this Soul Bone, Oscar knew it would inevitably spark a struggle, so he and his companions took the initiative and eliminated a group of enemies.
But just as they were fighting, another group of people appeared, including a Soul Saint, the middle-aged man with a thick beard named Baluofu.
With this new group of enemies joining the fray, Oscar was no match for them. He not only became separated from his companions but was also chased by the three men until he had no idea where he had ended up.
"Damn it, this won't do! This kid has better stamina than us; he'll get away sooner or later!" Baluofu said. "You two, flank him from the side and stop him!"
The other two obeyed the order and immediately flanked Oscar from the side, stopping him in front of him. The three of them formed a circle around Oscar, trapping him in the middle.
Although Oscar used his Sixth Soul Skill, Mirror Sausage, to copy the Soul Skill of a Power Attack System Soul Master, and he also had the Hidden Weapon given to him by Tang San, Oscar knew that he could not win against the combined attack of two Soul Emperor and one Soul Saint.
"Damn it, I'll fight!" Sitting and waiting for death has never been Shrek's style, so even though he knew he was no match, Oscar bravely charged towards the weakest of them, intending to open an exit from him.
To everyone's surprise, Oscar, a Support System Soul Master, actually had the courage to take the initiative, and they didn't even have time to react.
After Oscar used his copied Soul Skill, he successfully repelled the man and then secretly took out the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. Using his clothes as cover, he successfully shot and killed him.
Having landed a successful blow, Oscar immediately planned to continue his escape, but to his surprise, the fallen Soul Master did not die immediately. Instead, he grabbed Oscar's leg tightly, tripping him up.
The other two reacted quickly and rushed forward. Baluofu kicked Oscar in the head, causing him to bleed profusely and fall to the ground. The other man snatched Oscar's Zhuge Repeating Crossbow to prevent him from using it again.
"Second brother, second brother, how are you?" Baluofu checked the injured man on the ground, but he was barely breathing and could only wait to die in this weather.
"Damn it, you brat! I was originally planning to give you a quick death, but now I'm going to torture you properly to vent my anger!"
Baluofu walked up to Oscar with a grim expression, stepped on his leg, and caused Oscar's leg to bend in an unbelievable direction.
"Ah!" Oscar screamed in agony. Even with his strong will, the pain of a broken leg was not so easy to endure.
"Haha, kid, scream all you want! Scream louder! This is a Ice Seal wasteland, no one will pass by! Let's see who can save you!" Baluofu stepped on Oscar's wounds, pressing harder and harder, as if Oscar's miserable screams gave him more pleasure.
In utter agony, Oscar's heart sank. Was he really going to die here? My friends, you would all be heartbroken for me, wouldn't you?
Otherwise, who can save me?
Just when Oscar was in despair, a voice suddenly rang out from the nearby forest. "Stop! What are you doing!"
Upon hearing the sound, Baluofu and his companion looked in the direction from which it came, while Oscar also reluctantly raised his head and looked in that direction.
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, a stunningly beautiful woman slowly walked over. Her face lacked the usual fragility of a young girl; instead, it exuded a heroic spirit, and a resolute look shone in her eyes.
Upon seeing this unexpected guest, who was also such a beautiful young woman, Baluofu immediately felt that he had struck gold. Not only did he get the Soul Bone, but he also had the chance to get close to such a stunning beauty.
"Hehehe, little beauty, you want to meddle in my business?" Baluofu abandoned Oscar and headed towards the woman. "I think you'd better save your breath. Come back to the city with me, and I guarantee you'll live the high life!"
But just then, Oscar suddenly grabbed Baluofu's leg and shouted, "You, you go! Don't worry about me, they're not good people!"
Baluofu was furious. He kicked Oscar aside and was about to take another step when he saw the woman draw a strangely shaped sword, her face already showing anger.
"Oh? A fiery girl? Even better, that's my type!" Baluofu was overjoyed and rushed towards the woman impatiently.
In his view, the woman before him was so young, how strong could she possibly be? He, on the other hand, was a Soul Saint, and could practically roam freely in this area.
But Baluofu never expected that his words would become his last! Suddenly, the sword in the woman's hand emitted an incomparably dazzling light, blinding Baluofu for a moment.
In the brief moment he lost sight, the woman had already stepped forward with her sword and beheaded him.
A Soul Saint was easily killed because of carelessness, without even summoning his Martial Soul. He only got what he deserved.
After Baluofu's death, the remaining Soul Master suddenly came to his senses, shouted, and his Martial Soul instantly possessed him, charging towards the woman.
This time, however, the woman didn't even glance at him. She swiftly slashed down with her sword, shattering his Soul Skill along with it, and then plunged the sword into his chest.
After killing two people, the woman approached Oscar, knelt down, and asked, "Who are you? Why were they attacking you?"
