Chapter 5:Support from the Inspection Team.
"Fight to the death!"
A new round of skill bombardment was about to hit; he couldn't delay any longer!
"I'll die a worthy death!"
His soul power surged, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared behind Ji Wuchang. The noble purple caused a huge stir among the many evil soul masters.
Even the Great Soul Masters with the best soul ring configurations only had one white and one yellow ring, with most having two white soul rings.
Ji Wuchang, however, possessed a hundred-year soul ring and a thousand-year soul ring—the difference was unimaginable.
"Buzz!" The sword in his hand hummed, and the boy's second soul ring, the thousand-year soul ring, lit up in the world for the first time!
"Second Soul Skill, Drawing the Sword into the Body!"
The longsword in his hand instantly turned into molten iron, covering Ji Wuchang's body and instantly merging into it:
"Ah!!!"
A heart-wrenching howl rang out, and Ji Wuchang's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
This was pain!
Drawing the Sword into the Body, as the name suggests, involves drawing the sword into the body. And that's essentially what it is. The sword enters the body, and the body transforms into a sword. Every punch and kick is like a thrust and slash of a longsword, the entire body becoming a weapon.
This soul power can temporarily enhance Ji Wuchang's physical attributes and imbue his body with sword energy, greatly increasing his attack power and range.
At this moment, he even has the confidence to fight a Soul Master one-on-one!
However, this soul skill has two drawbacks.
First, there is the indescribable pain. It truly feels like having a sword inside the body, with every movement causing the sword to throb within.
Those who haven't experienced it will never know the pain.
Second, there are the aftereffects of using this skill. For a day, he cannot summon his Martial Soul, and he can barely use his soul power, leaving him at the mercy of others.
It's unimaginable that such a soul skill, which can only be used in desperate situations, was obtained from a saber-toothed tiger.
Returning to Ji Wuchang, after using the second soul skill, he was like someone who had taken stimulants, his speed more than doubling. He darted among the numerous evil soul masters as if they were nothing.
He only had ten minutes! Ten minutes passed, and he was even more vulnerable than a newborn infant. At that time, he was completely at the mercy of others!
"Reporting to the Evil God, something terrible has happened!"
A second-ring Great Soul Master stumbled into the room where several powerful Evil Soul Masters, led by a Soul Emperor, were located.
"What's going on? Have those guys come too?" The Soul Emperor-level Evil Soul Master instantly stood up, unleashing his full power. Six Soul Rings—one white, three yellow, one purple, and one black—appeared on his body. A stench of decay filled the room.
"No...no." The Great Soul Master shook his head, almost suffocating. The Soul Emperor's aura was terrifying.
"What is that?"
"Brothers...they're all..." The Great Soul Master burst into tears:
"They're all dead!"
"How is that possible! What happened?!" The Soul Emperor was instantly enraged. This force was something he had gathered over an unknown period of time!
Although most of them were just first-ring Soul Masters or even ordinary people, they were still very important human resources!
The death of one or two was no big deal; people were killed off in secret every day for this or that. But if more than half of them died, it would undoubtedly be a major blow to his strength!
"That intruder...he..."
The Great Soul Master stammered.
"What? Could it be that he hid his cultivation level and wasn't a Great Soul Master?" The Soul Emperor roared and grabbed the Great Soul Master by the collar.
"No, he was a Great Soul Master. But...but..." The Great Soul Master was almost crying.
"But what? Speak up! If you don't explain clearly, I'll send you to see the King of Hell right now, you believe me?!" The Soul Emperor was furious. How could he have such a cowardly subordinate?
"But that intruder wasn't an ordinary Great Soul Master! He had a hundred-year soul ring and a thousand-year soul ring, and he killed all my brothers in a short time. Only I and a few other brothers managed to escape from him a little further away," the Great Soul Master said, collapsing.
"Damn it!" the Soul Emperor gritted his teeth.
"And, indeed, others have come too!"
"What... Boom!!!"
The Soul Emperor was about to ask something when a tremor shook the mountain, as if something had crashed into it. Several terrifying auras enveloped the entire mountain.
"Soul Saints??!! Three of them? When did those guys invite Soul Saints over??" The Soul Emperor's expression changed drastically.
As far as he knew, those guys could only invite Soul Emperors of his level at most, and at most two.
But now, not only had Soul Saints arrived, but there were even three! What an enormous force!
"Let's go! Let's go out and see!" Leading his subordinates, whose legs were already trembling with fear, the Soul Emperor walked out of the cave they were in.
The first thing that came into view was a hellish scene of blood flowing like a river. Even this wicked and bloodthirsty demon felt a chill run down his spine.
Then there was the child standing atop the mountain of corpses…
The child's eyes were closed, his face pale. His body was stained with the blood of countless unknown owners. Judging by appearance alone, no one would imagine that this seemingly harmless little brat was the "culprit" behind this massacre!
At this moment, Ji Wuchang was naturally unconscious. His soul power, physical strength, and mental energy were all exhausted; even an iron man couldn't hold on.
In fact, even if he activated his second soul skill and fought desperately, he certainly wouldn't have lasted until the end against the siege of so many evil soul masters. In the moment before his consciousness faded into darkness, he seemed to see three figures descending from the sky.
After that, he knew nothing more.
"Who are you people, daring to oppose the Evil God!" No longer wasting energy on Ji Wuchang, the Soul Emperor stared intently at the three Soul Saints dressed in dark green robes hovering around Ji Wuchang, a strange sense of unease creeping into his heart.
However, he had been a tyrant for many years, and Soul Saints were not unfamiliar with him. Every time, he had escaped.
That's why he could stand there questioning the Soul Saints, and the other two Soul Kings had already obeyed his orders to arrange what he needed.
"Shrek Surveillance Group!" the leader of the three Soul Saints replied in a deep voice.
"What?!" The Soul Emperor trembled instantly. He knew exactly what the Shrek Surveillance Group was, and he understood its meaning perfectly.
The only thing he couldn't understand was when those guys had the ability to contact the Shrek Surveillance Group.
"Run!"
His first reaction was to run. If it were an ordinary Soul Saint, he wouldn't be so afraid; his level had already reached sixty-nine, just one step away from becoming a Soul Saint.
With his secret preparations, he was even confident he could launch a counterattack!
But this was a Soul Saint from the Shrek Academy's Inspection Team! Every student from Shrek Academy was a monster; taking on two opponents at once was not uncommon. Faced with such a terrifying opponent, he lost his momentum from the start.
"Was it him who gave the signal? When did our Inspection Team get such a small member?" The leading Soul Saint looked at Ji Wuchang, who refused to fall even after fainting, and asked the other two.
"I don't know."
"I'm not sure."
The only answers they received were negative.
"Regardless, he can single-handedly kill so many evildoers with the cultivation of a Great Soul Master; he deserves respect!"
"Now, it's our turn, the three seniors, to avenge this junior!"
With that, the three Soul Saints' cultivation erupted instantly, their terrifying aura making the surrounding air seem incredibly thick.
The aura of the three Soul Saints instantly blocked the Soul Emperor's escape route. The evil spirit master's face darkened:
"Do you really intend to oppose me, the Blood Yin Evil God?!"
"Tch, someone who hasn't even reached the Soul Saint level dares to call himself an evil god?"
"Beat him up!"
The three Soul Saints instantly erupted, their terrifying cultivation levels unleashed to their fullest extent.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!
All three Soul Saints possessed the best standard Soul Rings! Their seventh black Soul Ring shone brightly, indicating they had directly activated their Martial Soul True Body!
"Release!"
Seeing that escape was impossible, the Blood Yin Evil God had no choice but to fight desperately.
With a command, a terrifying crimson tide surged down from the highest point of the mountain, instantly engulfing the three Soul Saints along with Ji Wuchang:
"Explode!"
The crimson tide then began to boil wildly before exploding with a deafening roar!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Countless explosions echoed across the mountaintop. Seeing the three Soul Saints completely engulfed by the explosion, the Blood Yin Evil God sneered,
"Hahaha, so what if they're Soul Saints? So what if they're from the Shrek Academy Inspection Team? They're nothing but mortal enemies before my Blood Yin Demonic Explosion Technique!"
The surviving evil soul masters around them cheered,
"Long live the Evil God! Long live the Evil God!"
However, their joy was premature.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort rang out, and a bolt of lightning, glowing white, silently appeared, rushing straight towards the Blood Yin Evil God along the crimson tide.
"Ah!!"
The so-called Blood Yin Evil God didn't even have time to react before being struck squarely by the lightning. In that instant, his skin was charred by the electricity. He collapsed to the ground, convulsing intermittently.
As soon as he fell, the wildly exploding crimson tide, like a flame extinguished by water, quickly fell silent.
Then, it surged down the slope. The three Soul Saints, completely unharmed, and Ji Wuchang, protected in the center, were revealed.
The leader had transformed into a giant serpent coiled with lightning. He was the one who had unleashed the lightning bolt. His face was somewhat pale, indicating that his soul skill had been quite taxing.
Beside him, a massive black tortoise glowed eerily. It was he who had saved Ji Wuchang and the other three from the explosion of the Crimson Tide.
His expression was perfectly normal, as if the explosion had been nothing to him.
