"Are you the Soul-Stealing Squad?"
In the area, two men and one woman were surrounded by seven people. One of the men was injured, with a shocking 20-centimeter-long wound on his abdomen.
"You still know our name, so your death wasn't entirely unjust!" The captain of the Soul-Stealing Squad looked coldly at the three of them, making no attempt to hide the killing intent in his eyes.
"Now that humanity is in dire straits, your Soul-Stealing Squad still wants to take advantage of the situation? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the various forces in Nancheng?" Ji Jinghui roared, unable to contain his anger.
The people surrounded were Ji Jinghui and Zheng Shuang. The injured man was Zheng Shuang's cousin, Zheng Shi. They never expected that even after the West Gate was breached, humans would take advantage of the chaos instead of fighting off the beast tide.
"What does it matter to us whether humanity is in danger or not? Before the cataclysm, my life was given to me by my parents, my job was earned through my own hard work, and even my woman was something I had to beg my mother-in-law for. Society has been helpless to me, so why should I give back to society!" The Soul-Stealing Squad leader sneered repeatedly. "As for being punished by various forces, once everyone is dead, no one will know that we took advantage of the chaos!"
"Useless trash! Blaming everyone and everything for your own incompetence, what a piece of trash!" Ji Jinghui remained arrogant, but his arrogance was tinged with immense anger.
"Still being stubborn? The three of you are already sitting ducks. I hope you'll still be this tough when you die!"
The two sides immediately engaged in combat. Ji Jinghui and his two companions had already been ambushed, and Zheng Shi had lost his fighting ability on the spot. Ji Jinghui and Zheng Shuang had also suffered varying degrees of injury. Moreover, apart from Zheng Shi, who was a strength-type, Ji Jinghui and Zheng Shuang were both psionic types, so they were quite powerless in dealing with the encirclement.
The Soul-Stealing Squad is also a group of ruthless people. Even though Zheng Shuang is as beautiful as a flower, no one will hold back because of her. Their attacks are all ruthless and deadly.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you run! I'll hold them off!" On the verge of death, Zheng Shi made a desperate move, ignoring the wound in his abdomen that could barely hold his internal organs, and stood up, unleashing his last bit of strength to try and hold off the Soul-Stealing Squad.
"Dream on! Now that you've fallen into our ambush, don't even think about leaving here alive!" The Soul-Stealing Squad leader gave a sinister smile, his soul energy fluctuating before he shouted sharply, "Mind Shock!"
The moment the soul energy trembled, Ji Jinghui sensed something was wrong, but when the attack came, they were still hit. The three of them were stunned by the powerful soul energy.
"Hmph, my Mind Shock is an intermediate-level talent, how could you bunch of trash possibly resist it!" The Soul Stealing Squad leader smiled smugly.
The other six were already prepared, and they attacked together while the captain had intimidated the three men's souls.
Zheng Shi was already severely injured. After being attacked again after his soul was shaken, he almost immediately collapsed to the ground with blood flowing from all seven orifices. He was barely breathing and was barely hanging on by a thread.
Ji Jinghui and Zheng Shuang were both attacked. Ji Jinghui had also cultivated the Azure Wood Manual, and his physical strength was comparable to that of a power-type cultivator of the same level. He had a certain degree of defense against such an attack. However, Zheng Shuang was in a much worse situation. A knife and a palm struck her body. Given her weak constitution as a spiritual energy type cultivator, such an attack was enough to put her on the brink of life and death.
"What a pity, such a beauty can't be properly cherished!" The Soul-Stealing Squad member who had just stabbed Zheng Shuang stabbed her again with red eyes. His movements showed no regret whatsoever, but rather endless ruthlessness, as if he would kill Zheng Shuang with a single blow.
"Shuang'er!" Ji Jinghui snapped out of his shock and immediately tried to shield Zheng Shuang from the attack, but he was in dire need of protection himself.
"Jinghui, run!"
Knowing she was going to die, Zheng Shuang gave up struggling and instead activated all the spiritual energy within her body.
"Frost's End!"
Crackling sounds filled the air as frost began to spread, centered on Zheng Shuang.
"No!" Ji Jinghui's heart trembled.
"It's truly deeply moving!"
Before they could see him, they heard his voice. As the voice faded, three shields of spiritual light protected Ji Jinghui and his two companions. A flash of lightning struck, and one member of the Soul-Stealing Squad died instantly, without any warning.
"Who are you?" The captain of the Soul-Stealing Squad asked in horror. He had discovered these three uninvited guests. Their strange masks and powerful strength made him wary.
The second member of the Soul-Stealing Squad died again. This time, he wasn't killed by lightning, but rather died from a hole in his chest.
"Yan Feng!" the leader of the Soul-Stealing Squad exclaimed in shock. He hadn't expected that two members of the Soul-Stealing Squad would die in such a short period of time.
“We all came here for the dignity of our people, but you took advantage of our misfortune. Such behavior deserves to be punished by everyone!” Jiang Yuan said in a low voice.
The opponent's strength has been detected by the Heavenly Eye: a seventh-order Soul Energy type with a Soul Energy level of 147, a mid-level Killer Bat bloodline, and a mid-level Mind Shock talent.
Aside from the Soul-Stealing Squad leader, two of the other six members were at the sixth rank, while the other four were at the fifth rank. The two sixth-rank members were killed.
The first person to die was killed by Leng Yue herself, and the second was killed when a small ant burrowed into the other person's body and bit off his heart meridian, eventually causing him to die from exhaustion.
"No matter who you are, if you mess with me, Liu Zhengxin, you will all die!"
"Mental shock!"
The leader of the Soul-Stealing Squad is named Liu Zhengxin, and he is considered a well-known strongman in Nancheng.
As his soul energy surged, Jiang Yuan immediately realized Liu Zhengxin's intention. When it comes to playing with control-type talents, Jiang Yuan was definitely Liu Zhengxin's father. If he could use his divine energy now, he would definitely let the other party experience what it felt like to be controlled.
"Divine power suppression!" Jiang Yuan had no other choice but to use the power of attribute suppression to weaken the control of the mental shock.
As expected, the mental shock that Liu Zhengxin used under the suppression of divine power was much less effective than before.
"Secret Technique: Strengthen Blood, Charge!"
Jiang Yuan used the Ancient God Fist again, but this time it was different from the Ancient God Fist he had used to activate with divine energy. He used the Tai Chi Fist Intent from the true meaning of the fist technique to enhance it. This was a pure explosion of ancient martial arts power, not divine energy.
Liu Zhengxin thought the psychological intimidation had worked and was about to call for his teammates to kill these people when Jiang Yuan's fist came flying at him.
Bang! The punch didn't seem very powerful because Jiang Yuan had only unlocked two of the shackles. Based on the strength comparison, his ancient martial arts level was only equivalent to the fourth to sixth level. So he didn't intend to kill Liu Zhengxin with one blow, but the result was beyond his expectations.
The straight punch landed directly on Liu Zhengxin's face, and its power shattered half of his face.
"When did the straight punch become so powerful?" Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised by this result. "No, it must be a problem with the true essence of the fist technique!"
He had thrown the punch many times, but this time it gave him a special feeling, as if he had mobilized the power of his whole body to throw the punch. This experience was unprecedented.
"team leader!"
"Run! The captain is beyond saving!"
