The first thought that surfaced in Xu Sheng's mind was that these living people had their minds controlled by an evil Soul Master!!
However, at this time, evil Soul Masters should be fiercely eradicated or suppressed by Martial Soul Hall and various sect forces. He didn't expect to encounter one here!
Compared to Xu Sheng's calmness, the six guards outside were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. One of the guards couldn't care less about the rules and directly lifted the curtain behind...
As the curtain was lifted and he saw that Xu Sheng was awake, he urgently warned, "Your Highness the Holy Son, we are surrounded by monsters! What should we do now?"
Xu Sheng slowly rose to his feet, then calmly said, "Hmm, first have everyone get down from the carriage!"
The guard, upon hearing Xu Sheng's words, wondered if he was hearing things...
His face showed thick fear as he said, "Your Highness the Holy Son? Below are all monsters! If we go down, it might be even more dangerous!"
"If you don't get down, you'll be alone on the carriage," Xu Sheng glanced at him coolly and casually responded, before ignoring him and quickly stepping down from the carriage...
The guard's face turned ashen, and he clenched his teeth, steeling himself to dismount his warhorse...
Seeing Xu Sheng and the guard alighting, the other five guards also tightened their grip on their spears and descended, forming a protective ring around Xu Sheng...
All their gazes were fixed tightly on the monsters that were continuously closing in on them from both sides...
One of the guards, arms trembling as he gripped his spear, stammered, "Your Highness the Holy Son, with so many monsters, I fear we might not escape death!"
Another guard said with full regret, "If only we hadn't rushed so hastily, now we have encountered these disgusting things!"
"Your Highness the Holy Son, once these monsters come closer, we really won't be able to escape," he lamented.
Xu Sheng didn't answer them but instead swiftly extended his spiritual power again, and within moments, the several evil Soul Masters controlling the monsters were clearly exposed within the net of his condensed spiritual power!
Immediately afterward, Xu Sheng's pupils turned cold, and he released his Martial Soul, controlling numerous thick and sturdy Netherworld Ghostvines that erupted around the guards, forming a cage...
Seeing this, the guards behind Xu Sheng panicked, thinking he intended to abandon them...
Thus, they berated him, "Your Highness the Holy Son? What are you doing?"
"Your Highness the Holy Son, quickly let us out! If those monsters come, we won't even be able to put up a fight!"
"Your Highness the Holy Son, you can't do this to us!"
Xu Sheng barked, "Shut up, all of you! These monsters can't break this prison, just stay here."
No sooner had he spoken, he turned his gaze in one direction...
There, the few evil Soul Masters were definitely hiding...
...
Where Xu Sheng had just looked, four evil Soul Masters dressed in black robes, their features well concealed, were gathered...
One of the evil Soul Masters spoke in a detached tone, "That guy seems to have spotted us!"
"It shouldn't be! We're so far away, this man shouldn't possibly discover us!" a woman's voice could be faintly discerned in the speech.
Another one beside her expressed surprise, "Damn! That guy seems to be charging right at us, these people are of no use to him."
The leading evil Soul Master sneered, "Don't worry! If that guy comes over, it's as good as suicide! Looking at how young he is, his Soul Power is at most that of a Soul Sage! Killing him would be a piece of cake for us!"
Though the four of them only had the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor, they had once brutally killed a direct-attack class Soul Douluo!
This was enough to demonstrate their terror!
Moreover, for a Soul Sage, or even a Soul Master below the rank of Soul Sage, to face them was tantamount to courting death!
...
Meanwhile, as Xu Sheng charged towards the direction ahead, he casually swept his arm, and countless sprawling Netherworld Ghostvines whipped all the monsters that blocked his way into a disordered mess...
Xu Sheng couldn't help frowning, "Too slow!"
The next moment, he clenched his palm, and in front of him, countless Netherworld Ghostvines surged out, intertwining directly to form a corridor suspended three to four meters above the ground…
Following that, Xu Sheng leaped up, landing on the passageway created by the Netherworld Ghostvines and had them continue to extend towards the direction of the evil Soul Master…
Without the obstruction of these "living beings," Xu Sheng's pupils could already see four black-robed figures ahead…
These evil Soul Masters, seeing him approach, showed no intention of running away, but instead watched quietly with their crimson pupils…
Xu Sheng's pupils narrowed slightly, "Good! Then let's settle this all at once!"
...
Xu Sheng dropped from mid-air to the ground, his cold gaze fixed on the four black-robed figures in front of him…
Hmm, all four of them are just Soul Emperors?
Seeing Xu Sheng staring at them, one evil Soul Master sneered coldly, "Kid, you actually dared to come straight here, you've got guts!"
Next to him, a female evil Soul Master licked her pale purple lips and cooed, "Didn't expect you to be quite handsome, let sister take good care of you in a moment!"
The leading evil Soul Master snapped, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's take care of this brat first, then you can play with him however you want!"
The last evil Soul Master slowly stepped forward, licking his bony palm…
"Then let's start having a good time torturing him! Afterwards, we'll refine his soul into a great supplement for boosting our Soul Power!"
In an instant, under the cover of night, the four evil Soul Masters sneered as they released their Martial Souls, six Soul Rings slowly rising under their feet…
All of them the optimal Soul Ring Configuration of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!
One evil Soul Master's first soul ring at his feet lit up first, "First Soul Skill, Resentful Spirit!"
The next moment, several vicious Resentful Spirits, glowing red, slowly floated out around him…
Their crimson pupils filled with intense murderous intent as they charged towards Xu Sheng…
At the same time, the female evil Soul Master at the side let out a cold sneer, her third soul skill lit up, "Third Soul Skill! Essence Blood Swamp!"
Around Xu Sheng, the ground became soft, and the next moment, it transformed into a foul-smelling, blood-red swamp, with numerous red threads shooting out from within…
These threads then coiled around Xu Sheng's legs and continued to wrap around him, simultaneously dragging his body downwards…
Xu Sheng frowned, gazing at the approaching Resentful Spirits and threw a punch directly at them…
The terrifying force instantly blasted one of the Resentful Spirits to pieces, and the remaining force blew the others away…
"What? He destroyed my Resentful Spirit with just one punch!" The male evil Soul Master's eyes flashed with rage…
Xu Sheng's gaze was indifferent as he looked at the blood-colored swamp below him and the frightening red threads that were constantly pulling him in…
He lifted his leg slowly, and his tremendous strength instantly snapped the red threads…
The next moment, he unleashed terrifying Soul Power and stomped down…
Tightly following, a deafening noise erupted…
The Essence Blood Swamp beneath Xu Sheng was immediately destroyed…
The female evil Soul Master's eyes widened in shock, "This... How is this possible?!"
Just when it seemed Xu Sheng was about to be dragged into the swamp, it had been so easily destroyed!
The other evil Soul Master furrowed his brow, "Isn't this guy's Martial Soul a plant?? His physique is so strong that a casual stomp destroyed the Essence Blood Swamp!!"
The leading evil Soul Master's eyes grew grave, warning, "This guy is no simpleton! Don't be careless, let's get serious!"
