Then how about looking in front of you?

Bai Yushan stepped forward, and a crack appeared in the bluestone slab beneath his foot. His body became a blur as he charged toward the corner where the three men were hiding.

"Lightning Thunderbolt Fist!"

Violent electric currents wreathed his fist, blue-white arcs trailing a long tail through the air. His fist tore through the air with a shrill whistle.

Bai Yushan's fist smashed into the corner.

Boom!

Bricks and stone scattered, and dust flew. He blasted a huge crater into the corner, leaving shattered bricks all over the ground.

But no one was there.

Ma San reacted faster than he had expected. The instant Bai Yushan charged over, Ma San shoved Liu Laosi and Wang Mazi aside and rolled away himself. The three scrambled awkwardly to their feet, their faces turning pale as they watched the electricity dancing over Bai Yushan's fist.

Wang Mazi's pockmarked face looked even more pitted. He backed away two steps, then turned to run.

Ma San grabbed Wang Mazi, exasperated that this lump of iron would not become steel. "Attack together! There are three of us, and he's just a little kid. What are you scared of?"

Ma San stared at Bai Yushan, a vicious gleam flashing through his eyes.

He growled, and a surge of Soul Power suddenly erupted from his body. Two white rings of light rose from beneath his feet and slowly revolved around him.

Ten-year Soul Rings-two of them!

Ma San was a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster.

Liu Laosi and Wang Mazi also gritted their teeth and released their Martial Souls. Two white Soul Rings likewise rose around Liu Laosi. Wang Mazi had only one, but he was still a Soul Master.

Ma San's Martial Soul was a gray wolf. The moment his Soul Rings lit up, his body swelled, gray fur sprouted from his arms, and sharp nails grew from all ten fingers. His pupils became vertical slits, and fangs protruded from his mouth. He looked like a humanoid wolf.

Liu Laosi's Martial Soul was a snake. His body became supple, fine scales appeared on his skin, and his tongue grew long and thin, flicking out with a hiss. Wang Mazi's Martial Soul was a wild boar. His body grew even bulkier, a short tusk sprouted from his nose, and his skin became rough and thick, like a layer of armor.

Having each released their Martial Souls, the three lunged at Bai Yushan.

Ma San charged at the front, moving astonishingly fast, his large gray hand reaching for Bai Yushan's neck. If that claw connected, it would crush an ordinary person's neck outright.

Bai Yushan burst out laughing.

"That's more like it! This is how strong human traffickers should be!"

His eyes shone frighteningly bright, flames of madness burning in his pupils. Facing the combined assault of three Soul Masters, he did not retreat half a step. Instead, he charged straight toward Ma San's claws.

Electricity danced wildly over his body, blue-white arcs crackling thunderously.

Faced with a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, Bai Yushan's first reaction was to attack!

Bai Yushan leaped high and raised his right foot overhead. All the electricity surged into that leg, blue-white light gathering at his heel like a glowing battle-axe. His body flipped in midair, and his right foot chopped down toward Ma San's head.

"Crow rides a plane!"

Ma San hurriedly dodged, rolling aside and barely avoiding the kick. Bai Yushan's right foot slammed into the ground, pulverizing the bluestone slab. Fragments flew, and a crater appeared in the ground.

Ma San's expression changed.

That kick was far more powerful than he had expected.

But Bai Yushan's attacks did not stop.

"Tornado destroys a parking lot, black tiger plucks the heart, Mount Tai crushes down, floating lotus, flamingo dance steps, mountain-splitting palm, giant axe chops a big tree!"

His mouth never stopped, spitting out move names one after another, while his hands never paused. Electricity leaped between his fists and feet, every strike fast and vicious, leaving no chance to catch a breath.

His left leg swept into Liu Laosi's waist. Electricity burst over Liu Laosi's body, making him stiffen as the smell of scorching rose from his skin. He screamed and staggered back several steps, nearly falling.

Relying on his wild boar Martial Soul's defenses, Wang Mazi took one of Bai Yushan's punches head-on. Electricity exploded against his chest, and his body rocked backward, but he did not fall. He thrust his tusk toward Bai Yushan's shoulder, but Bai Yushan had already ducked beneath it. Driving his shoulder into Wang Mazi's abdomen, he hoisted his body of over a hundred jin and slammed him hard into the ground.

With a bang, dust flew, and Wang Mazi was left so dazed by the impact that he could not get up for a long while.

Ma San scrambled up from the ground, his gray wolf claws reaching for Bai Yushan's back again.

Bai Yushan nimbly shifted aside and dodged the swipe. Pushing off the ground with both feet, he launched himself forward, his legs kicking alternately in midair, striking Ma San's arms and chest again and again.

The kicks left Ma San's arms numb, and he staggered back several steps. The final kick struck his chest, sending him flying backward into a roadside tree. The trunk shook violently, and leaves came rustling down.

Liu Laosi charged in from the side, his snake-supple body slipping behind Bai Yushan as he stabbed a short blade toward his lower back. Without even turning his head, Bai Yushan chopped backward with his right hand, striking Liu Laosi squarely on the wrist.

With a crack, Liu Laosi's wrist bent at a grotesque angle, and the short blade flew from his hand.

Before Liu Laosi could even scream, Bai Yushan's left fist had already smashed into his face. Electricity burst out, and Liu Laosi spun once in midair before crashing to the ground, knocked unconscious on the spot.

Liu Laosi lay on the ground, his face ashen. Before losing consciousness, he was still muttering, "Boss, why does he have so many Soul Skills?"

Ma San scrambled up, covered in injuries. Electricity had burned several holes through his clothes, and scorch marks covered his skin. As he frantically dodged Bai Yushan's pursuit, he cursed, "He's fucking making those up!"

But even if he was making them up, the attacks were all too real.

Every punch and kick carried electricity, leaving him numb and aching wherever they landed. He simply could not withstand them.

Wang Mazi climbed up and shook his head, his eyes completely bloodshot. With a furious roar, he unleashed all the strength of his wild boar Martial Soul. Like a real wild boar, he lowered his head, pointed his tusk forward, and charged at Bai Yushan. His heavy footsteps thudded against the ground like an out-of-control carriage.

Bai Yushan did not dodge.

He charged straight at Wang Mazi, clenching his right fist as all the electricity surged into it. Blue-white light gathered over his fist, growing brighter and more blinding.

As their bodies crossed, Bai Yushan's fist smashed into Wang Mazi's tusk.

Boom!

Electricity exploded, and Wang Mazi's tusk snapped. His body flew backward and crashed to the ground, sliding several meters and leaving a long furrow behind him. He twitched twice, then stopped moving.

Ma San looked at his brothers lying scattered on the ground, his eyes filled with terror.

He looked at Bai Yushan, that six-year-old child, blue-white electricity dancing all over his body, every strand of hair standing on end, his eyes shining like two stars and a crazed smile on his lips.

Ma San turned and ran, unleashing the full speed boost of his gray wolf Martial Soul. His feet barely touched the ground as he rushed forward like a gust of wind.

He kept looking back as he ran, terrified that Bai Yushan would catch up.

There was no one behind him.

Ma San relaxed, and his steps grew even faster.

But the moment he turned his head forward again, he saw someone standing ahead.

At some point, Bai Yushan had already gotten in front of him. He was leaning against a roadside tree with his arms folded across his chest and a teasing smile on his lips.

"Then how about looking in front of you?"
