"Heh, kill us? Lord Mirror, you're just a mere Great Soul Master, you're too boastful!"
A hoarse voice came from nowhere.
Immediately afterward, the sound of air being torn apart rang out!
Seven figures darted out from the surrounding rooftops and alleyway shadows,instantly sealing off Dongfang Jing's escape routes and forming an encirclement.
Killing intent mixed with greedy panting filled the narrow space.
Dongfang Jing glanced at the soul rings gradually rising beneath the feet of these people under the feet of six, one white and two yellow rings shone, all Soul Masters.
And under the feet of the tall, thin man with a sinister face,two yellow and two purple soul rings were clearly swirling!
One Soul Master, six Soul Masters!
Dongfang Jing's heart sank suddenly, and the arm holding his sister tightened subconsciously.
The air was as still as iron.
Dongfang Jing's gaze swept over the seven people surrounding him, his voice, hidden behind his mask, remained completely calm.
"Who sent you? The Spirit Hall? A sect? Or the Great Spirit Arena?"
The tall, thin man let out a hoarse sneer.
He was quite "frank,"licking his chapped lips, his eyes practically overflowing with greed: "Kid, nobody sent us. Blame it on your own for being too high-profile and carrying such a huge sum of money you shouldn't have. Over a million gold spirit coins, heh, that's enough to make countless people green with envy."
He paused, his murky gaze becoming even more fervent.
Looking Dongfang Jing up and down as if examining a rare commodity, he said, "However, we're willing to give you a chance. Hand over the gold soul coins obediently, and honestly tell us what secret technique you used to absorb the soul ring beyond your level. Maybe we might consider showing some mercy and leaving you a whole corpse."
A burly man with a scar on his face beside him added with a sneer, "Boss is right! If it weren't for our greed for your secret technique, we would have already swarmed you, chopped you to pieces, taken the money, and left! In this desolate street, when the sun rises tomorrow, who will remember that there were a few more nameless corpses?"
Dongfang Jing listened silently,understanding dawning on his mind.
These seven people were no different from the group in the Frozen Forest;all were driven by greed.
But the aura of these people was even colder and more sinister.
Their faces were an unhealthy, ashen gray, their eyes cloudy and violent, completely different from normal Soul Masters.
Killing intent spread and solidified in Dongfang Jing's heart like ice.
"So you're just a bunch of scum." The boy's voice suddenly turned icy, "Covered in filth, with repulsive faces. Am I right, Fallen Ones!"
He emphasized the last three words heavily,with undisguised disgust and murderous intent.
The tall, thin man suddenly retorted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shrilly: "Bullshit! Stop spouting nonsense! We brothers are just a bit ruthless and enjoy our freedom! We're not like those guys!"
"Heh," Dongfang Jing sneered disdainfully,pulling his sister in his arms even tighter.
"Perhaps. Perhaps you haven't completely fallen yet."
He paused, and two purple Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.
The chilling words lashed out at his opponent: "But the blood on your bodies cannot be concealed! The greed and madness in your eyes cannot be hidden! Having already embarked on this evil path, what difference is there between you and depravity? It's just a matter of time!"
"Since you've chosen the path of death,"
Dongfang Jing slowly raised his empty left hand, his gaze sweeping over the man with the scepter-wielding support spirit blocking his back.
"First spirit skill, Sharpening."
Before the whisper had faded, his left arm was instantly covered by a dazzling mirror blade,its sharpness unparalleled.
At the same time, a blurry mirror image, perfectly synchronized with his movements,silently materialized behind the support spirit master!
This was an ability he had never displayed in the arena.
The next instant, the mirror image and the real body swung their blades in unison! The movements were so fast that only afterimages remained!
The support spirit master felt a chill on his neck, his vision spun, and terror froze on his face.
His head rolled off, blood splattering!
Before anyone could even cry out,Dongfang Jing had already sprung up again! Before the light of his first spirit skill had faded,he actually slashed fiercely at the empty space to his left!
At the same time, the mirror image in the distance also swung its blade!
In front of it, a powerful attack-type Soul Master felt his hair stand on end, a sense of impending death enveloping his entire body!
"Third Soul Skill, Rock-Splitting Collapse!" He roared and unleashed his strongest attack, the earthen-yellow light crashing into the mirror image!
Boom!
A surge of air blocked this sure-kill blow.
However, the mirror image remained unaffected by the force, still standing!
The powerful attack-type Soul Master stared at it, his face filled with horror: "What is that?!"
Dongfang Jing felt it was a pity, but his movements didn't stop. He clenched his left hand towards the void!
Soul power surged out, and a crystal mirror as tall as a person instantly formed, placed in the open space in front of him.
His eyes narrowed, and his spiritual power spread further.
After Dongfang Jing's soul power increased, the furthest distance between the mirror image and his real body had increased!
At the same time, two hundred meters away,
the mirror image appeared out of thin air.
In its hand, it also condensed an identical mirror.
The assassins were completely dumbfounded, unable to understand this bizarre operation.
The tall, thin Soul Master had a bad feeling and shouted sharply: "Attack quickly!"
He held a dagger martial soul, his feet flashing with light, and was the first to stab at the boy.
The next moment, Dongfang Jing, holding his sister, stepped into the mirror in front of him.
Before leaving, he gave the tall, thin man a disdainful look.
His figure disappeared instantly like water ripples!
*Crack!*
The tall, thin Soul Master pierced the mirror with his dagger, but saw no trace of Dongfang Jing.
The pupils of all the Fallen Ones present constricted; they had missed their target!
Then,ripples spread across the mirror two hundred meters away.
Dongfang Jing stepped forward, adjusting his mask.
His robes fluttered; he was already outside the encirclement!
The Fallen Ones froze, staring at the figure a hundred meters away, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.
Dongfang Jing gently placed Dongfang Yao, whom he was carrying, on the ground.
The little girl stared blankly, rubbing her eyes and looking around in bewilderment.
Just moments ago they were in that dark, narrow alley;how had they suddenly arrived at this relatively open street corner?
Where was this? Weren't they just in the alley?
A night breeze brought a chill.
She raised her small face, staring blankly at her brother's tall back, then at the unfamiliar surroundings.
Her little head was filled with questions.
Dongfang Jing stood with his hands in his pockets, relaxed,as if the deadly clash and long-distance traversal just moments before were nothing more than a casual stroll.
'No wonder brother always seemed so confident,' Dongfang Yao thought, her large eyes sparkling. Her small fists clenched slightly.
'Indeed, my brother is practically omnipotent!!!'
The little girl's admiration for her brother had reached its peak!
However, Dongfang Jing's heart was far from calm.
He cracked his neck, his brows furrowing tightly.
He didn't want to let those fallen soul masters go;keeping them alive would be a disaster for himself and others.
Moreover, they coveted the enormous sum of gold soul coins and had even glimpsed his trump card.
They couldn't be allowed to live! They had to be eliminated!
But the reality was that the enemy possessed one Soul Master and five Soul Venerables.
The offensive Soul Venerable among them was both quick-witted and powerful.
A direct confrontation would waste a lot of soul power.
With his current strength, dealing with them would be extremely difficult.
A single misstep could result in serious injury, and he would also have to be distracted protecting Yao'er.
"What should I do?"
Just as he was deep in thought, a soft yet undeniable fragrant breeze suddenly arrived, accompanied by an extremely slight thud.
Dongfang Jing instantly became alert and turned his head.
He saw a tall, voluptuous figure quietly land not far from him.
