Hearing that sharp, ear-piercing voice, both Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen frowned. Even the bandits retreated quickly, each one trembling.
Boom!
The corpses of the bandits killed by Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen began to swell, finally exploding with a roar.
Violent explosions echoed through the cave, accompanied by flying flesh and blood. The power of the explosions was not inferior to that of small soul-guided bombs!
The more powerful the corpse had been in life, the greater the explosion's power.
The Soul King, killed by the combined reactions of Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's soul skills, caused the entire cave to shake the moment it exploded.
Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao quickly retreated to avoid the damage from the Corpse Explosions. They exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking. Their faces grew grim:
"Could it be that the Holy Son's (Junior Uncle's) guess was right? The strongest of this Death God's Emissary isn't just at the Soul King level!"
"Gahahaha, how does the taste of my Corpse Explosion feel? No matter how strong you are, you are doomed to die before my series of Corpse Explosions. Even if you don't get blown up, you'll be poisoned to death!"
The entire cave was filled with a thick, pungent smell of blood, and a heavy dampness permeated the air.
The Corpse Explosion didn't discriminate; it took out a large number of the still-living bandits. However, these bandits were apparently somewhat prepared, as some quickly ducked into the recesses along the cave walls, avoiding the full brunt of the blast.
The most terrifying aspect was that the liquid produced by the explosion had a corrosive effect, like strong acid. From the cave ceiling to the walls, the sound of "hisss" filled the air as the acid ate away at the rock.
That Death God's Emissary not only caused the corpses to explode, but also imbued them with deadly poison. How wicked.
Even Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao were covered in a layer of blood.
However, their strength was considerable, and they had the protection of their ice and fire auras, so they hadn't completely lost their ability to move.
But the longer this went on, the worse their situation would become.
Just as Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao were preparing to retreat, the Death God's Emissary finally appeared, attacking once more. Its body transformed into a mass of black mist, which swirled around the two women, draining their stamina and soul power.
And with both Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao poisoned by the corpse poison, their chances of survival were dwindling.
"Caw caw caw, two pretty girls indeed. This emissary smells the virgin fragrance on you. Become this emissary's Corpse Slave concubines. The Death God's Emissary will enjoy your corpses! Caw caw caw!"
The Death God's Emissary wore a black robe. They weren't tall, rather short, and their body and appearance were hidden beneath the robe.
Hearing the Death God's Emissary's taunts, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen felt disgusted.
They had heard tales of Evil Soul Masters killing young virgins and then taking their corpses, using the dead virgins' energy to aid their cultivation, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
It was clear that this Death God's Emissary was one such person.
"Even if I'm shattered to pieces, I won't allow myself to be defiled after death."
Ma Xiaotao snorted. The next moment, the Evil Fire within her body erupted completely. The raging Evil Fire burned, drying up the poison and mist a few inches around her, and she launched a fierce attack at the Death God's Emissary.
...
Outside the cave, the explosions within were noticed even by Su Qingfeng and Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan looked worried. "Holy Son, are Sister Xiaotao and Sister Luochen in danger? There was such a strong explosion inside."
"Corpse Explosion. This is bad, that guy is actually in there."
Su Qingfeng, with his keen senses, caught the scent of blood in the air, and his expression immediately changed.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Nannan also became nervous.
"There might be someone inside that Sister Xiaotao and Sister Luochen can't handle."
Su Qingfeng said seriously, his starry eyes behind the mask filled with a profound solemnity.
"Even Sister Xiaotao and Sister Luochen can't handle them? Could it be a Soul Sage expert?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan's face also changed.
"I'm not sure about the exact strength, but because Evil Soul Masters cultivate evil techniques, their strength varies wildly compared to others at the same level. Some Soul Kings can even kill Soul Emperors," Su Qingfeng said in a low voice.
"Holy Son, I'll go in and see what's happening. You stay here and protect yourself. Don't get into any trouble," Jiang Nannan said, gritting her teeth after a moment of thought.
"No, I'll go myself. I still have some trump cards, and they might be helpful. If Xiaotao and the others can't handle it, you'll just be walking into your death," Su Qingfeng took out a special signal flare from his monitoring ring and aimed it at the night sky, firing it. A flash of green light flickered in the air.
It was a matter of Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's lives; the issue wasn't about alerting the enemy anymore.
After firing the signal flare, Su Qingfeng's figure headed up the mountain and entered the cave.
Jiang Nannan followed closely behind, filled with disbelief. She knew Su Qingfeng's identity as the Holy Son and had witnessed his vast starry sky martial soul. He was powerful, but that was months ago, during the new student assessment competition. The strength he displayed was also relative to a soul master in their twenties.
How much could Su Qingfeng have improved in a few months? Winning against an ordinary Soul Elder would already be a miracle, wouldn't it?
Jiang Nannan admitted that Su Qingfeng's charm was unparalleled, and she had wanted to entrust her life to him at first glance. But he was only twelve years old!
On the other side, Xiao Xiao couldn't pinpoint Elder Xuan's location, so she could only search within a general radius. Eventually, she found Dai Yaohang and his Dragon-Tiger team.
Upon hearing that Su Qingfeng's group had already encountered a bandit group and requested support, Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian were immediately anxious.
The Dragon-Tiger team split into two groups. Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian, and Gongyang Mo immediately followed Xiao Xiao to rendezvous with Ma Xiaotao and Su Qingfeng. Dai Yaohang and the others continued deeper inside to find Chen Zifeng and Elder Xuan.
But at that very moment, a signal flare from Shrek flashed in the sky. Within minutes, even Elder Xuan and Chen Zifeng noticed it.
Chen Zifeng's team immediately retreated, finding Elder Xuan. "Elder Xuan, that direction seems to be the area the Holy Son's team is responsible for searching. What happened? Why did they launch a signal flare so quickly!"
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"Xiaotao wouldn't send up a signal flare unless it was absolutely necessary. We have to go immediately!"
Elder Xuan dropped his casual demeanor. He knew Su Qingfeng was there too. If something happened to Su Qingfeng, he'd be devastated!
Just as they spotted the signal flare and rushed over, Su Qingfeng had already reached the depths of the cave.
Inside the cave, Ma Xiaotao's soul power was nearly exhausted. The terrifying Evil Fire had scorched most of the cave black!
The Death God's Emissary's clothes were burned away, but he hadn't sustained serious injuries. Although Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire was powerful, after she went berserk, she lost her rationality. Plus, the poisonous blood was a hindrance. After the Death God's Emissary dodged her peak attack, Ma Xiaotao's strength waned.
Ling Luochen leaned against the wall, restrained by the Death God's Emissary's power.
Both of them had lost the ability to resist, and they were being stared at by the Death God's Emissary with a lecherous gaze, making them feel uneasy.
Just at that moment, a peerless figure appeared at the cave entrance.
That figure didn't hesitate at all. His soul rings flashed, and he condensed an ice sword in his hand, thrusting it forward:
Emperor's Sword, Peerless!
