The Shrek members hiding behind gasped, their mouths open wide enough to fit an egg. Dai Mubai stared blankly and muttered, "Instant… instant kill."
Ma Hongjun felt a stifling sensation in his chest and, incredulously, patted himself saying, "Could… Could it really be, with just… just a casual move he took down a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"
Zhu Zhuqing blinked, her expression grave, "How… How strong is this guy really??"
Tang San's gaze upon Xu Sheng became distracted, and he clenched his fists, burying his head and said, "Has he really become this powerful??? To slaughter a hundred-thousand-year soul beast so effortlessly."
That's a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!!
Such a powerful soul beast was as fragile as a centennial soul beast before Xu Sheng!!
Xiaowu withdrew her gaze from Xu Sheng and, seeing the vacant look in Tang San's eyes, knew he must have been deeply struck.
She softly consoled him, "Xiaosan… don't give up so easily. Didn't the Grand Elder say you are someone who has passed the Sea God's Nine Quests and have a great chance of becoming a god?"
She also couldn't be sure just how strong Xu Sheng was now. That move he used just now, even if she activated her Invincible Golden Body, she feared she might have been slain as well…
Tang San regained his composure and pursed his lips, "Xiaowu…"
Oscar interrupted everyone's conversation, "So, are we still going up?"
Dai Mubai snapped irritably, "Up, up, up, what are we going up for? Didn't you see the guy take down a hundred-thousand-year soul beast with one strike? If we go now, our fate won't be much different!"
Their combined strength couldn't withstand even one hit, all they could do was to remain hidden!
Zhu Zhuqing cautioned, "Let's leave quickly, it'll be troublesome if we get discovered later!"
The others nodded in agreement "Mhm!"
Tang San cast a deep glance at Xu Sheng, then followed the Shrek Members as they left.
One day, he would kill Xu Sheng with his own hands to avenge his father and Headmaster Flender!
…
Xu Sheng glanced at the soul rings scattered on the ground and said to the Purple-Garbed Soul Master, "Looks like, your hundred-thousand-year soul ring seems unusable now!"
He intended for the Purple-Garbed Soul Master to deliver the final blow, but who knew he would accidentally kill it in an instant!
The expression of the Purple-Garbed Soul Master, however, showed not the slightest bit of disappointment; instead, he said excitedly, "It's possible, Lord. If the hundred-thousand-year soul ring is absorbed by the Sacred Pillars, even if not slain by oneself, one can still absorb it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, they saw the hundred-thousand-year soul ring slowly sinking into the ground…
Indeed, it was being absorbed by the surrounding Ten Sacred Pillars…
Watching the glowing soul bone of the killer whale king's left leg, the Purple-Garbed Soul Master exclaimed, "Lord, this soul bone seems to be a left leg!"
And the envy and jealousy in his eyes were not being concealed in the slightest…
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng also turned his attention to the left leg soul bone, his lips curving up slightly…
It seemed his trip had not been in vain; the left leg soul bone he needed most had just emerged. His set of soul bones was secured!
Thinking this, Xu Sheng slowly walked over to take the left leg soul bone into his possession and said, "Let's go, it's time to return!"
Absorbing a soul bone or a soul ring were when a Soul Master was at their most vulnerable, even Xu Sheng couldn't guarantee that this Purple-Garbed Soul Master wouldn't act out of greed against him.
After all, the latter knew he possessed six soul bones; with such tremendous benefits and low risk, no one would be able to resist the temptation.
After stowing the soul bone in his storage device, Xu Sheng turned and said indifferently, "Let's go, we're heading back!"
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master, seeing that Xu Sheng had no intention of absorbing it on the spot, had a glint in his eye. He then nodded, "Lord! Let me take you to rest!"
Xu Sheng gave him a look, "No need, I can find my own place to sleep."
```
This guy...
There's a problem!
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master smiled, "Sir, you shouldn't joke. The place you found couldn't possibly be just any spot to lie down, right?"
Xu Sheng, his words ruthlessly pierced, did not show the slightest embarrassment and calmly said, "That's right, how did you know?"
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master pointed to Xu Sheng's clothes, "Because it's been almost a year since any Land Soul Masters could come to Sea God's Island, so no special accommodations were provided. But it's different for us indigenous Sea Soul Masters; we all have our own exclusive residences!"
"With your status and strength, how could you casually rest outside? Am I right?"
Xu Sheng gradually narrowed his eyes, then with a faint smile said, "You are right, let's go then."
It might as well let oneself see what exactly this guy intends to do.
"Yes, sir," replied the Purple-Garbed Soul Master, his pupils revealing a hint of coldness that vanished in the blink of an eye...
...
Xu Sheng followed the Purple-Garbed Soul Master to a large inn-like place, surrounded by many houses that were not particularly refined, but also did not look very simple!
Xu Sheng looked over these barely acceptable houses; from this close distance, he could faintly sense the aura of Soul Emperors and Soul Sages...
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master pointed to a house in the center, the most luxurious of them all, and said, "Sir, please rest here. If you need anything, just call for me!"
Xu Sheng nodded and replied, "Okay! You go rest as well."
After speaking, he headed toward that luxurious house...
After pushing the door open, the space inside wasn't large, about forty to fifty square meters, but it was well stocked with all necessary items. The beds provided were not small, barely reaching the standard of an ordinary hotel in the Tiandou Empire!
Xu Sheng closed the door and used his Divine Power Perception to sense his surroundings...
After finding nothing suspicious, he closed the door, sat down on the bed...
...
It was not till midnight that Xu Sheng took out the soul bone of the killer whale king he had hunted earlier, which kept emitting an enticing aura...
Soon after, he began to absorb it quietly while sitting cross-legged...
...
Elsewhere, five Soul Masters in purple robes were gathered together...
One of them frowned and turned to the man beside him, "Is what you said true? Does that person really have six soul bones?"
The man standing next to him was none other than the Purple-Garbed Soul Master who had led Xu Sheng here. He confidently responded, "Of course! He said it himself, and the spiritual power of Land Soul Masters will be interfered with on Sea God's Island, they won't notice us."
Another Purple-Garbed Soul Master hesitated, "But didn't you say that man could instantly kill a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? If we're discovered..."
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master who brought Xu Sheng glared at him, "That's six soul bones! What are you still thinking about? Even if we each take one, there will still be leftovers!!"
The last Purple-Garbed Soul Master took a deep breath and said coldly, "Fine! We'll take a gamble! No matter how strong he is, he's at his weakest when absorbing a soul bone, even if he senses something from the outside, he's just a lamb waiting for slaughter!!!"
If they succeeded, each one of them would get a soul bone, and as fighters at the Super Douluo Level, he was sure to have other good things on him!
Upon hearing this, the other Purple-Garbed Soul Masters made up their minds and nodded resolutely...
"Then get ready. He should be starting to absorb the soul bone by now. Once he lets his guard down a bit more, we'll rush in and cut him down," said the leading Purple-Garbed Soul Master, licking his lips.
