Mysterious Black-Robed Group's Ambush! Dai Fei Crushes and Kills Them!
When Dai Fei and Lin Xuan emerged from the cave, the sky had already darkened.
A thin mist hung over the forest, and the low growls of Soul Beasts rose and fell around them, as if warning them not to act rashly.
Dai Fei tightened his grip on the golden Soul Bone, a faint sense of unease stirring in his heart.
He knew the power of this Soul Bone was extraordinary. If other Soul Masters or factions learned of it, it would surely bring endless trouble.
"Your Highness, we need to leave here as soon as possible."
Lin Xuan spoke in a low voice, his gaze sweeping warily over their surroundings. "There are quite a few powerful Soul Beasts in this area, and they're most active at night."
Dai Fei nodded without saying much.
He quickly adjusted his condition. Although the battle just now had consumed a great deal of his Soul Power, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor's restorative ability had greatly alleviated his injuries.
He took a deep breath, letting his Soul Power circulate slowly through his body to ensure he could respond to any sudden situation.
The two swiftly retraced their path, their steps light and quick.
But just as they were about to leave the valley, Dai Fei suddenly stopped, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Something's wrong," he said under his breath, his gaze fixed on the path ahead.
Lin Xuan also sensed something amiss. He followed Dai Fei's gaze and saw dark figures flickering faintly among the trees ahead, while a trace of killing intent lingered in the air.
"Someone's lying in ambush." Dai Fei's voice turned cold, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Are they after us?" Lin Xuan asked nervously.
"I'm not sure, but it's best to be careful."
Dai Fei spoke in a low voice, then gestured for Lin Xuan to step back. He slowly released his Soul Power, the phantom of his White Tiger Martial Soul flickering into view behind him.
Just then, a cold laugh suddenly rang out from the trees ahead. "Dai Fei, you really didn't die! It seems the rumors about the imperial mausoleum incident were true! What a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here."
As the voice fell silent, more than a dozen figures slowly emerged from the woods. Leading them was a middle-aged man in black robes, a sinister smile on his face.
More than a dozen Soul Masters followed him. Every one of them had a formidable presence; they were clearly all experts.
"Who are you?"
Dai Fei asked coldly. Though he was wary, he didn't pay them too much mind.
With his current strength, he had nothing to worry about unless a Titled Douluo personally entered the fray.
"Who I am doesn't matter."
The black-robed man smiled, his gaze falling on the golden Soul Bone in Dai Fei's hand. A flash of greed crossed his eyes. "What matters is that I'm very interested in the thing in your hand."
Hearing this, Dai Fei put away the golden Soul Bone and said with scorn and mockery, "The likes of you aren't worthy of possessing it!"
The black-robed man scoffed. "Worthy? There are so many of us here! That's what makes us worthy! Your Highness Dai Fei, you went through so much to come back alive. You'd best not do anything else foolish. A wise man knows when to yield! Hand it over!"
"Dream on!"
"If you have the ability, come and take it yourselves!"
"Kill me, and the golden Soul Bone is yours!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill you all today!"
Dai Fei's voice was exceptionally cold.
"You refuse the toast only to drink the forfeit."
"In that case, you can die again!"
The black-robed man's expression turned cold, and he waved his hand. "Attack! Don't let them escape! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
"Yes, sir!"
At his command, more than a dozen Soul Masters charged forward. Soul Rings shone as all manner of Soul Skills blasted toward Dai Fei and Lin Xuan.
They were all Five-Ring Soul Kings and Six-Ring Soul Emperors!
"Lin Xuan, get back!"
Dai Fei shouted coldly and flashed forward, placing himself directly in front of Lin Xuan.
A cold light flickered in his eyes as his Sacred Beast White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him. Seven Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet-yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black-and a surge of Soul Power erupted.
"A Seven-Ring Soul Sage!?"
"How is that possible!?"
"How long has it even been!?"
The moment they saw Dai Fei's Soul Rings and felt the Soul Power fluctuations he emitted, the group showed shock and terror.
"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Sky-Rending Claw!"
Dai Fei let out a low growl. His right hand transformed into a sharp tiger claw and lashed out.
Five golden claw shadows tore through the air, heading straight for the two Soul Kings at the front.
"Puff! Puff!"
The two Soul Kings had no time to react. Their chests were torn open in an instant, blood gushing out as they collapsed and lay still.
"What?!"
The black-robed man's pupils contracted. He clearly hadn't expected Dai Fei's strength to be so terrifying.
"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Wind Shadow Step!"
Dai Fei flashed into an afterimage, appearing behind another Soul Emperor in an instant.
"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Geng Metal Roar!"
Dai Fei opened his mouth, and a golden sound wave blasted straight at the Soul Emperor.
"Ah!"
The Soul Emperor screamed, blood streaming from all seven orifices. The sound wave sent him flying, and he crashed heavily to the ground. His legs jerked, and he died.
"Damn it! Attack together! Don't give him a chance!"
The black-robed man was frightened now too. At his furious shout, the remaining Soul Masters unleashed their Soul Skills and blasted them at Dai Fei.
Seven Soul Rings appeared around him: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!
He was a powerful Soul Saint!
But judging by his Soul Power fluctuations, he was only level seventy-one!
In Dai Fei's eyes, he was trash!
"Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Army-Breaking Kill!"
Dai Fei sneered and shot into the crowd like lightning.
A pillar of Geng Metal light burst forth, raising a spray of blood.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Three Soul Kings in succession were torn apart by Dai Fei's tiger claws, their screams rising one after another.
"Fifth Soul Skill: White Tiger Geng Metal Transformation!"
Dai Fei gave a low shout, and a layer of golden light appeared over his body, instantly raising his defenses.
He took the attacks of several Soul Emperors head-on and emerged without a scratch.
"Sixth Soul Skill: White Tiger God-Slaying Kill!"
Killing intent surged in Dai Fei's eyes. He pressed his palms together, and a golden blade of light slashed from his hands, heading straight for the black-robed man.
"This is bad!"
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!"
The black-robed man's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly released his Seventh Soul Skill to block it, but the golden blade of light advanced like a hot knife through bamboo, breaking straight through his Martial Soul Avatar's defenses and blasting him away.
"Puff!" The black-robed man spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
"Seventh Soul Skill: White Tiger True Body: Asura God Descends!"
Dai Fei gave a low growl, and his body instantly transformed into a gigantic white tiger. Golden light illuminated the entire forest.
"Roar-!" The white tiger let out an earth-shaking roar and pounced straight at the remaining Soul Masters.
The Soul Masters had no time to escape. The white tiger tore them to pieces in an instant, their blood staining the ground red.
"You... what kind of monster are you?!"
The black-robed man stared at Dai Fei in terror, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Monster?"
Dai Fei sneered, returned to human form, and walked slowly toward the black-robed man. "Didn't you want the golden Soul Bone? Come and take it."
"No... don't kill me! I was wrong! I won't dare do it again!"
"Your Highness Dai Fei, spare our lives! We're willing to follow your lead in everything!"
The black-robed man knelt and begged for mercy, his eyes filled with fear.
"Too late."
Dai Fei spoke coldly, his right hand transforming into a tiger claw that plunged straight into the black-robed man's chest.
"Puff!" The black-robed man's eyes widened, blood pouring from his mouth as his body slowly fell.
Dai Fei withdrew his hand, cast a cold glance over the corpses littering the ground, then turned and walked toward Lin Xuan.
He circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art, absorbing and refining Slaughter Qi at a frenzied pace.
"Let's go. We can't stay here long," Dai Fei said calmly.
Lin Xuan stared dumbfounded. Dai Fei was simply too ferocious.
He swallowed, nodded, and followed Dai Fei as they quickly left the battlefield.
