Chained Together
Since no one could detect Xu Xingyu and Ma Xiaotao hiding within the Wind King Barrier, the two arrived at the location of the bloody light without any hindrance.
The object emitting a crimson glow was a blood-red stone tablet inscribed with an ancient script, and more than a dozen Evil Soul Master were guarding the tablet.
Three of the Evil Soul Master were high-level Soul Ancestor, one was Soul King, and the leader should be one of the three Soul Saint- level Evil Soul Master mentioned in the intelligence.
Judging from the Martial Soul released by the two Evil Soul Master who are restraining Zhang Lexuan, the remaining Soul Saint should be the Evil Soul Master who seems to have a ferocious beast Beast Martial Soul.
It seems these Evil Soul Master value this blood-red stone tablet highly, otherwise they wouldn't have sent their second strongest fighter to guard it.
As for the remaining Evil Soul Master, they are just some nobodies at the Soul Elder and Soul Grandmaster levels. Although they are easy to deal with, their numbers make it more troublesome to eliminate them all at once.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the culprit behind the collective stacking of buffs on Evil Soul Master is this stone tablet. The only question is, what exactly is this stone tablet, and why does it feel so familiar?
Just as Xu Xingyu was still thinking about where she had seen this stone tablet before, Ma Xiaotao's eyes were already filled with bloodlust, clearly unable to restrain herself any longer and intending to force her way in.
Fortunately, Xu Xingyu reacted quickly, forcefully pinning the other person to the ground and whispering, "What do you want to do? Exposing our location now won't help our seniors at all!"
After saying that, he began to check the surroundings, hoping that the Evil Soul Master had not noticed the commotion.
Fortunately, the Wind King Barrier created by Xu Xingyu not only had excellent concealment effects but also good sound insulation, so the Soul Master didn't notice anything happening here.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao, who had been forcibly pinned to the ground by Xu Xingyu, quickly calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, I acted impulsively just now. So, what's the plan next?"
Seeing the bloodlust in Ma Xiaotao's eyes begin to fade, he began to wonder if Ma Xiaotao had been affected by the murderous aura emanating from that stone tablet?
However, he quickly put the idea out of his mind and began to explain the next plan, "We'll use this to attract their attention, and then catch them off guard when they're not looking."
After speaking, Xu Xingyu took out a Soul Bomb the size of a palm. Ma Xiaotao looked at the bomb in Xu Xingyu's hand and asked in confusion, "Is this Soul Bomb? But isn't it a bit small?"
Xu Xingyu said nonchalantly, "What we need to do now is just attract their attention. The power level isn't the issue. Besides, don't underestimate this small thing; once it explodes, it can rival a level five Soul Cannon."
"This little thing?" Ma Xiaotao frowned.
"Well, you'll see when the time comes," Xu Xingyu continued. "After planting the bomb, we'll hide in the opposite direction of where it was planted, and then attack them from behind the moment it detonates."
"That method is feasible, but I'm only confident I can handle those few Soul Ancestor. Add to that the Soul King, and that Soul Saint- level Evil Soul Master— I can't contend with him right now. Do you think you can deal with him? Are you even capable?"
"Senior Sister Xiaotao, you need to understand one thing: never ask a man if he's capable or not."
At first, Ma Xiaotao didn't understand what the other person meant, but after thinking about it carefully, the innocent Ma Xiaotao's face instantly turned bright red, and she exclaimed shyly, "Hey! How could you say such lewd things!"
Upon hearing Xu Xingyu simply smiled and said, "Am I wrong?"
Instead of answering the question, Ma Xiaotao abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Can you get off me? I feel like my body is going to stiffen if you keep riding on me like this."
Only then did Xu Xingyu realize that when she forcefully pressed Ma Xiaotao to the ground, she had unintentionally sat directly on the other woman's body, a position that seemed rather indecent.
After an awkward coughing fit, Xu Xingyu slowly got off Ma Xiaotao, and Ma Xiaotao was finally able to move her body more freely.
Both of them wisely refrained from commenting on what had just been posted, and instead quietly carried out their plan.
After planting the bomb, Xu Xingyu and Ma Xiaotao moved away from its location to a safe distance as indicated by Xu Xingyu. Xu Xingyu then used the detonator in her hand to detonate the bomb.
A huge sound rang out, and as the explosion occurred, countless dust particles flew into the sky. The Evil Soul Master who had been on guard all around immediately noticed the abnormality.
Among the Evil Soul Master guarding the site of the explosion, some wanted to inquire about what had just happened. However, the leader of the Evil Soul Master immediately shouted, "Don't leave your posts! Our mission is to protect the sacred relic at all costs! If something happens to the sacred relic, not only will we be wiped out, but everyone in our Holy Cult present here will be doomed! Do you understand?!"
Yes! Ominous Star Deacon!
!
In response, the Evil Soul Master who wanted to lead a group to investigate asked timidly, "So we should just ignore the explosion from earlier?"
"Don't worry about it. It might be a diversionary tactic by Shrek or Star Luo Empire," the Evil Soul Master, a Soul Saint, said dismissively. "After all, our actions are so obvious. If Shrek and Star Luo Empire don't notice anything amiss, they must be out of their minds!"
"It was my rudeness. So, what's next?"
Before the Evil Soul Master could finish speaking, a purple-gold chain burst forth from the ground and pierced through his heart.
Upon seeing this, the Soul Saint immediately shouted, "Enemy attack! Everyone back to your posts and on alert!"
However, at the very moment they spoke, many more purple-gold chains appeared out of nowhere and attacked the Evil Soul Master present.
Those chains were like unstoppable spears, piercing through anyone who approached them. No matter how the Evil Soul Master present tried to block them with their Soul Power, the chains seemed unaffected by their Soul Power and directly broke through their defenses.
The leader, nicknamed the Ominous Star," quickly instructed everyone to disperse, otherwise, such a large group of people gathered together would easily become a giant target.
Unfortunately, no matter how the Evil Soul Master Evil Soul Master scattered, the purple-gold chains seemed to have eyes, actively pursuing and killing each and every one of them.
Finally, all the Evil Soul Master present, including the Evil Soul Master who was a Soul Saint, were pierced through by those purple-gold chains, and now they were like boats linked together by iron chains.
