"You found something?" Seeing Wang Nan's movement, Gongyang Mo also quickly stood up.
"Even if they're not Evil Soul Masters, they're definitely not an ordinary team. Let's get closer and observe first."
The two hurried northwest. Even without using their Spirits, just relying on their physical fitness, three kilometers was less than two minutes for Wang Nan and Gongyang Mo.
Looking at the target displayed on the soul-guided detector directly ahead, Wang Nan looked up and saw a quiet village.
Wang Nan had an impression of this village; however, the map Pan Yue brought indicated that it had been attacked by the Sun Moon Empire, and the villagers should have left long ago.
There were no lights in the village, as if no one lived there. But this only further confirmed Wang Nan's suspicion.
Wang Nan turned and handed the soul-guided detector to Gongyang Mo. "Your Spirit is too conspicuous. Don't rush to act. I'll go first, you keep an eye on the soul-guided detector, and tell me immediately if anyone else appears around us."
"Okay," Gongyang Mo replied in a low voice.
Wang Nan calmed his mind, his consciousness connecting to his Sea of Consciousness. His vast mental force continuously surged, spreading outwards.
Although it was only a rudimentary application of mental force, not as precise and concealed as a Mental System Spirit Master's mental detection, it could still alert Wang Nan to changes around him at the first possible moment, allowing him to prepare.
This method of using mental force consumed a lot. If not for Wang Nan's extraordinary talent and continuous training since childhood, an ordinary Spirit King would definitely not possess his ability.
After walking a few dozen steps, Wang Nan heard a few suppressed cries of children through the houses.
Wang Nan frowned. It seemed that not all the targets detected by the soul-guided detector earlier were Evil Soul Masters; some were children with spirit power they had captured.
It seemed that after returning, he would have to ask Ye Xiaosheng to add a function that could determine the target's strength. If he hadn't been cautious, he might have already fired a soul-guided cannon. Then it would be hard to say who the real Evil Soul Master was.
After walking a few more steps, Wang Nan's mental force finally made contact with the targets. Two of them were quite strong, likely Spirit King cultivation, while the other four were far less powerful than Wang Nan.
Having confirmed the targets, Wang Nan nodded slightly to Gongyang Mo behind him. The Shrek Supervisory Group's ring appeared in Wang Nan's hand for a moment, then immediately disappeared.
There was no time to change clothes, so Wang Nan simply put on a dark green cloak and a monster mask to conceal his appearance.
With a twist of his right hand, a soul-guided cannon appeared in Wang Nan's hand. The moment the yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black spirit rings appeared, a strong white light condensed in the muzzle.
The soul-guided cannon fired silently, only making a huge sound when the attack landed and lifted a house high into the air.
One of the four weaker Evil Soul Masters instantly lost all signs of life.
"Who is it?"
A loud shout came from the ruins bombed by the soul-guided cannon. The two Spirit Kings revealed their spirit rings, and their configuration was surprisingly the same as Wang Nan's — both were optimal spirit ring ratios.
Wang Nan didn't have the bad habit of talking nonsense before a fight. Without another word, he swung his rod and charged forward.
Both Evil Soul Masters were Tool Spirit Masters. Around one of them, a translucent shadow rose, its face showing a pained expression.
Fifth Spirit Ability-[Judgement Of Law].
Wang Nan's first move was a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability. A golden Dragon left the Coiling Dragon Staff and soared into the sky, then charged towards the Evil Soul Master.
Accompanied by a burst of golden light, all of that Evil Soul Master's spirit rings disappeared one after another, and finally, even his Spirit vanished.
That Evil Soul Master only felt his spirit power dissipate completely. The moment a look of astonishment appeared on his face, in the next instant, Wang Nan was already holding the Coiling Dragon Staff and "pointing" it at his chest.
A sound of bones breaking was heard, followed by a basin-sized hole appearing in his chest. His body broke into two pieces and fell down.
Wang Nan himself hadn't expected that both the Divine Beast Bi'an, the source of his fifth Spirit Ability, and his own Spirit carried attributes of "justice" or "righteousness."
Against an ordinary Spirit Master, the fifth Spirit Ability could only seal one spirit ring, but against an Evil Soul Master, the effects of the Spirit Ability and Spirit overlapped. Against a Spirit Master with less spirit power than him, it could even temporarily seal all their spirit power.
Although it was only for an instant, in that instant, it was equivalent to the Coiling Dragon Staff falling on an ordinary person, and the result was self-evident.
"What did you do?" The remaining Evil Soul Master's Spirit was a red sword. He had been about to charge forward, but seeing his companion instantly killed by Wang Nan, his body involuntarily stopped. He no longer had the courage to face Wang Nan directly, only gripping his Spirit tightly with both hands.
"Someone's coming!" Gongyang Mo, following Wang Nan's instructions, had been staring at the soul-guided detector. At this moment, he suddenly spoke out a warning.
Hearing this, Wang Nan glanced at a nearby house. There were still some children there. It seemed he had to finish this quickly.
That Evil Soul Master also heard Gongyang Mo's words, and his face suddenly lit up with excitement. He slapped his waist, and three soul-guided shields and a soul-guided barrier rose in front of him. It seemed he was preparing to hold out until those Spirit Masters arrived.
Wang Nan looked at the Evil Soul Master, who was like a turtle retracting its head. His first, second, and fourth spirit rings lit up simultaneously. Speed, strength, and full attribute amplification were applied to him. In just a blink of an eye, Wang Nan had already arrived in front of the Evil Soul Master.
Wang Nan held the Coiling Dragon Staff with both hands, his right hand on the middle-rear section, his left hand on the hilt. The Coiling Dragon Staff chopped down vertically from top to bottom.
Three crisp sounds rang out almost simultaneously. Through the translucent soul-guided barrier, Wang Nan could still see the Evil Soul Master's smile, which had not yet faded.
That Evil Soul Master looked at Wang Nan, who appeared like a strange fierce tiger, mouth agape, looking at him. The tiger's claws extended forward, and the soul-guided barrier that had defended him against countless attacks seemed as fragile as thin paper.
The next moment, the massive tiger's claw, carrying an irresistible might, landed on the Evil Soul Master's shoulder.
Wang Nan split open all of that Evil Soul Master's defenses with one strike, then crossed his hands, twisted the rod, and a large head flew into the sky, a smile still lingering on its face.
Both Spirit Kings, this Evil Soul Master didn't even last a few breaths under Wang Nan's rod.
Wang Nan's spirit power vibrated slightly, shaking off the blood from the Coiling Dragon Staff, his eyes looking to the west. Without Gongyang Mo's reminder, he could already see three shadows rapidly approaching from that direction.
All three had a pair of wings on their backs, which explained why they could arrive so quickly.
All three were wearing black cloaks. The one leading them was the fastest, his red wings spread wide. With a flap of his wings, he was already in front of Wang Nan.
That person looked up slightly. By the moonlight, Wang Nan recognized the newcomer's identity — it was Ji Tongxuan, who had been taken away a few years ago.
