Xu Sheng's ink-colored pupils swept over Dai Yun'er and immediately perceived that her mental state had utterly collapsed…
He pursed his thin lips and said, "To have been tormented for so long yet still surviving, you indeed have not disgraced the Royal family of Xingluo Empire!"
But the leading evil Soul Master had gradually lost his patience and said in a cruel tone, "Don't you guys move; this guy is mine! I'll let him experience what true pain is!"
After all, he was a Title Douluo! To kill the one in front of him, who was only a Soul Sage, would be an easy feat!
The very next second, nine soul rings emitting a terrifying presence appeared beneath his feet, and a dense black aura rose behind him, making it impossible to discern what was inside. Only those bloodthirsty eyes were strikingly visible…
Without any hesitation, the evil Soul Master took a deep breath and charged at Xu Sheng like a ghost, swinging a fist towards his face…
And Xu Sheng just calmly stared at the incoming fist, without a trace of fear…
Seeing this, the evil Soul Master sneered to himself, "You think you can withstand it with your body, how naïve!"
His defense was not something that could be easily withstood!
However, what happened next shocked him to the core!
Xu Sheng's hand precisely caught the incoming punch just as it was about to land, stopping it in its tracks!
Fear spread across the evil Soul Master's face. "How is this possible, you're merely a Soul Sage, how can you block my attack!"
Regarding this question, Xu Sheng merely smiled faintly and retorted, "Does being a Soul Sage mean I'm bound to be crushed by you?"
Sensing the mockery in those words, the evil Soul Master's rationality began to fade as he shouted angrily, "Damn it! Die! Fifth soul skill…"
A mere Soul Sage, from where does he draw the confidence to mock me, a Title Douluo!
However, before the evil Soul Master could release his soul skill, Xu Sheng's other hand pressed against his head and smashed it vehemently into the ground...
As the evil Soul Master's head made intimate contact with the ground, a loud "bang" resounded, and the ground instantly split open with a large crack...
On closer inspection, the violent impact caused the evil Soul Master's head to spray out pungent blood, and his body was thrown awkwardly more than ten meters away…
Forcing down the dizziness, he stood up and stared intently at Xu Sheng. "How… how is it possible, that you could interrupt my soul skill… This is definitely not something a Soul Sage can do!"
The moment his head was pinned down by the other, it felt as if the soul power within his body was locked up, unable to call forth even the slightest bit!
That feeling of helplessness emanating from the depths of one's heart can never be truly understood without experiencing it firsthand!
The other evil Soul Masters found themselves swallowing hard, clearly struggling to accept what had just transpired...
"This… is this guy really a Soul Sage? He's actually taking the initiative in a fight with a Title Douluo!"
"Our leader is just one step away from advancing to a Hyper Douluo, and he's been put at a disadvantage by this man!"
"Delusion… it must be a delusion; how could a Soul Sage possess such formidable strength, it's absolutely a delusion!"
"Don't be foolish! This man is clearly not a Soul Sage! He must have concealed his real soul power fluctuation!"
Hearing these words, Xu Sheng's tone gradually grew colder, "I didn't expect you could actually figure it out. But then, there's no helping it… everyone present must die!"
Upon seeing this, the evil Soul Masters quickly surrounded Xu Sheng and said coldly, "Stop bragging. You think you alone can exterminate us?"
"This guy is not simple; let's all attack together, don't give him any chance!"
"Right! His true strength is probably already at the Hyper Douluo level, we can't be careless!"
"Attack together! Even if he is a Hyper Douluo, he can't possibly be a match for us!!"
…
Not long after, the scent of blood emanating from the entire pavilion grew even heavier...
The only one still alive was the evil Soul Master who had collapsed on the ground, having completely lost the ability to move...
He looked up at Xu Sheng overhead with eyes full of despair, trembling and saying, "You... who on earth are you?"
The man before him wasn't a Hyper Douluo but instead a devil even more terrifying than the evil Soul Masters themselves!
Even though he was of the Title Douluo level, he was like a puppet being wantonly played with in his hands, utterly powerless to resist!
Xu Sheng looked down from his height and said, "Me? An Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, Xu Sheng!"
With that, he simply lifted his leg and stomped down, crushing the man's head like a watermelon, life fading from it within seconds...
After a brief glance at the bodies of all the evil Soul Masters lying on the ground, he shook his head and said, "What a bore, the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are a bit too weak!"
Immediately after, he walked towards Dai Yun'er, who was locked by the wrists and ankles. With a casual wave of his hand, the shackles instantly shattered into debris and fell...
However, without support, she just collapsed straight onto the ground, staring blankly at the floor...
Her spirit had completely shattered, and even if her physical wounds were healed, she would never be able to retrieve her consciousness!
Of course, that's on the assumption... she didn't meet Xu Sheng!
Streams of gentle Life Force flowed from inside him, threading into Dai Yun'er's mind, beginning to mend her Spirit Sea...
About ten seconds later, a trace of liveliness returned to Dai Yun'er's vacant eyes...
When Xu Sheng's figure appeared in her line of sight, she said with some astonishment, "Was it you... who saved me?"
Wasn't this man the Elder of the Sea God Pavilion she had seen at the young Soul Masters contest?
She never imagined that her rescuer would be him!
A profound feeling of emotion couldn't help but well up inside her heart...
Xu Sheng, not paying attention to these emotions, asked with concern, "Can you stand up by yourself?"
Dai Yun'er's face blushed, and she tried to prop up her upper body, hoping to stand on her own, but she found it difficult to control her limbs due to the relentless torture from the day before...
With some difficulty, she said, "My limbs... I can't control them!"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "Is that so, then do you want me to carry you?"
Dai Yun'er felt excited upon hearing this, but hesitated and said, "But..."
If it were a piggyback, she could understand, but being carried was just too embarrassing!
If she were to run into a soul master or Daijin who knew her, wouldn't she lose all face?
But before she could finish speaking, Xu Sheng had already picked her up...
Feeling herself lifted from the ground and the position she was in, Dai Yun'er said in disbelief, "A... a princess hold?"
Unable to face this scene, she bashfully buried her head in Xu Sheng's chest...
Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Xingluo Empire, to be carried in a princess hold by a strange man!
