On the path.

"This spirit ring color... I've never seen it before!" The leading Spirit Emperor's pupils contracted, and he instinctively took half a step back, shouting sharply, "Be careful! This kid is strange!"

He quickly gave the order: "Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, you two go grab that girl! Fourth Brother, you and the others, surround and attack this kid!"

Two evil soul masters stepped forward in response—one a dwarf soul master with the martial soul Shadow Rat, whose speed was as fast as a ghost; the other a one-eyed soul master with the martial soul Poison Spider, whose hands spewed out sticky poisonous webs.

The two pounced on Gu Yue, and the dwarf Soul Master even spoke rudely: "Little beauty, don't resist, your brother will be gentle—"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yue's eyes turned cold, and he activated his Elementalist Martial Soul! The four elements of wind, fire, ice, and earth surrounded him, and two purple soul rings rose up, standing out prominently in the moonlight.

The two evil spirit masters stopped in their tracks, their expressions changing drastically: "Double purple spirit rings?! This girl is a monster too?!"

"Gu Yue, watch out!" Chu Nan shouted, then flashed to meet the four evil soul masters charging towards him.

The four evil soul masters were: "The tall, thin Soul Master (Poison Ivy), the fat Soul King (Corpse), the scarred-faced Soul King (Blood Blade), and the leading Soul Emperor (Bone Spur). The four surrounded Chu Nan from four directions and attacked simultaneously!"

The tall, thin Soul Master's poisonous vines were the first to coil around him, their tendrils like snakes, reeking of foul-smelling venom. Chu Nan waved his left hand—Time Lag! The vines instantly slowed tenfold, as if glued in place. He pressed down with his right hand—Spatial Compression! The vines shattered instantly, fragments scattering everywhere.

The Fat Soul King's Corpse Fist came crashing down, carrying a stench that corroded everything. Chu Nan dodged to the side, but the putrid fumes had already spread, making people dizzy. A smirk appeared on his lips, and Time Reversal instantly purified his body. His right hand tore through space, and his dragon claw sliced ​​through the air, piercing directly through the Fat Soul King's shoulder.

"Ah—" the fat Soul King screamed, clutching his shoulder and backing away.

The Scarface Soul King's blood-red blade slashed down, its swordsmanship fierce, each strike leaving a bloody afterimage. Chu Nan used spatial teleportation to dodge, and a time cage appeared out of thin air in his left hand, trapping the Scarface Soul King within. The blood-red blade struck the light barrier, emitting a piercing metallic sound, but remained completely still.

Chu Nan's right dragon claw pierced through the gap in the light shield, penetrating the chest of the scarred Soul King.

"Pfft—" The Scarface Soul King stared wide-eyed, looking down incredulously at the bloody hole in his chest, before his body turned into black smoke and dissipated.

The leading Soul Emperor's face was ashen. He unleashed his Bone Spike Martial Soul at full power, sending dozens of bone spikes raining down on Chu Nan. Each bone spike gleamed with a ghostly light, carrying corrosive and paralyzing effects.

Chu Nan used spatial teleportation to dodge most of the bone spikes, but there were too many of them, and a few still grazed the hem of his clothes, instantly corroding several holes in them.

He frowned, quickly calculating in his mind: "Although these four evil soul masters have considerable cultivation, their soul ring combinations are chaotic—a mix of white, yellow, and purple, clearly indicating they were forcibly enhanced using evil methods. Their combat experience is also mediocre; they have cultivation but lack corresponding combat skills."

Chu Nan had a sudden inspiration. He brought his five fingers together in his right hand's spatial dragon claw and condensed his soul power—a dark golden light extended from the dragon claw, transforming into a three-meter-long dragon sword! Fine spatial cracks were wrapped around the sword, as if countless tiny blades were flowing on the blade.

"This move is pretty good, let's call it 'Space Dragon Sword'. It sounds kind of cringey, but who cares, as long as it's cool, that's all that matters. After all, being cool is a lifelong thing." Chu Nan smirked and swung his sword at the Soul Emperor.

With a single swing of the sword, a black line was cleaved through space, and the accompanying spatial tearing effect made the Soul Emperor's bone spike defense as fragile as paper, easily cut through.

The Soul Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly retreated, but Chu Nan had already closed in. The Spatial Dragon Sword swept across, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on the Soul Emperor's chest.

"Damn it!" The Soul Emperor clutched his wound, staggering.

Chu Nan gave him no chance to catch his breath, teleporting behind him and piercing him through the back of his heart with the spatial dragon sword.

The Soul Emperor's eyes widened, and he made an "uh~uh" sound before his body turned into black smoke and dissipated.

The remaining tall, thin Soul Master and the fat Soul King exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fear, and turned to run away.

Chu Nan used his left hand to trap the tall, thin Soul Master in a time cage, while his right hand slashed at the fat Soul King with his spatial dragon sword—the sword light flashed, and the fat Soul King screamed as he turned into black smoke. He turned around, spatially teleported to the time cage, and pierced it with his dragon sword, finishing off the tall, thin Soul Master. In just a few seconds, all four evil soul masters turned into black smoke and dissipated into the night.

Chu Nan flicked the black smoke off the Space Dragon Sword, then shouted, "Who else?"

On the other side, Gu Yue also dealt with the two evil spirit masters.

Gu Yue raised both hands, and a wall of fire rose from the ground, trapping the dwarf Soul Master in the center. The Soul Master charged left and right, but each time it touched the wall of fire, it screamed in agony, its body billowing smoke, looking like a burnt groundhog. Gu Yue then unleashed several more wind blades, slicing through from all directions. The dwarf Soul Master couldn't dodge in time and was covered in wounds from the wind blades. Finally, it was blasted into black smoke by a compressed fireball, not even having time to finish its scream.

The One-Eyed Soul Master's venomous spider spewed out a web of poison, but Gu Yue blocked it with an ice wall and swirled it with a wind blade, instantly shattering the web into dust. The One-Eyed Soul Master tried to spew another, but Gu Yue was already close, her ice spike piercing his chest, sending him to his death. In just over ten seconds, the two evil soul masters turned into black smoke.

In less than three minutes, the two evil spirit masters also turned into black smoke.

Gu Yue clapped her hands, turned to look at Chu Nan, and saw him standing there with his spatial dragon sword pointing diagonally at the ground, his expression indifferent. Gu Yue's heart skipped a beat again.

The Dragon God is so handsome... No, I must remain aloof, aloof!

She shook her head, clearing her mind, and quickly walked over, trying to make her voice sound calm: "Are you alright?"

Chu Nan shrugged: "It's nothing, just that my soul power was used up a lot. These guys are too weak, they were like chopping melons and vegetables when we fought them, there was no sense of accomplishment at all."

The remaining two evil spirit masters stood motionless—one was a hunched old man, clutching a mourning stick, his face so wrinkled it could trap a fly; the other was a middle-aged woman, holding a soul-summoning banner, her face ashen, as if smeared with soot. They had watched helplessly as their six companions were felled like leeks by the two little devils in just a few minutes; their eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, their mouths agape.

The hunched old woman's Adam's apple bobbed as she swallowed hard. "Old...old sister, these two kids are acting strangely..."

The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth, not bothering to answer. Both of them simultaneously released their martial spirits—one white, two yellow, three purple, and one black spirit ring rose from beneath the hunchbacked old man's feet, a chaotic jumble resembling an overturned palette of paints; the middle-aged woman also had one white, two yellow, three purple, and one black ring, equally unsightly. It was clearly something forcibly piled up using evil magic.

Looking at their spirit rings, Chu Nan couldn't help but mock, "That's it? I thought you guys were some kind of powerful bunch, standing there motionless, and this is it? A Spirit Saint's spirit rings like this? Did you pick them up from scrap? White, yellow, purple, black all mixed together, are you playing mahjong? You're missing a green 'Fortune' ring, aren't you?"

The hunched old man's face turned ashen, while the middle-aged woman roared in fury, "You little bastard, you're asking for death!"

The two attacked simultaneously. The hunchbacked old man swung his mourning staff, and countless black vengeful spirits roared out, accompanied by piercing wails. The middle-aged woman's soul-summoning banner fluttered, and countless ghostly figures surged out from the banner, rushing towards Chu Nan and Gu Yue.

Chu Nan frowned. With his left hand, he slowed down the vengeful spirits by using time lag, while with his right hand, he swept the spatial dragon sword, tearing apart the spirits with a spatial tearing effect. But there were too many of them, and they kept coming.

Ancient Moon element erupted, alternating between fire walls and ice walls to resist the ghostly shadows, but it was also forced to retreat repeatedly.

"These two old geezers are a bit troublesome." Chu Nan's heart sank. He used Time Reversal to dodge an attack from a vengeful spirit, then used Space Teleportation to appear behind the hunchbacked old man, thrusting his Space Dragon Sword straight at him.

The hunchbacked old man reacted extremely quickly, using his mourning staff to block Chu Nan's attack, while at the same time the ghostly shadow of the middle-aged woman's soul-summoning banner wrapped around Chu Nan's ankle.

Chu Nan paused, the middle-aged woman's ghostly claws already reaching for him. He gritted his teeth, activated Time Reversal again, broke free from the ghostly shadow, and dodged using Spatial Warp.

"This won't do. Looks like I'll have to use my overpowered physique." Taking a deep breath, Chu Nan unleashed the full power of his Twin Dragon Martial Souls, and the dragon's might erupted once more. The hunched old man and the middle-aged woman froze, and the vengeful spirits and ghostly figures also paused briefly.

Chu Nan seized the opportunity, using his left hand to trap the hunched old man in a time cage, while his right hand slashed at the middle-aged woman with the spatial dragon sword. The middle-aged woman hurriedly tried to defend herself, but the spatial dragon sword's armor-piercing effect directly severed the soul-summoning banner, and the sword's momentum did not diminish, piercing through her chest.

"No—" the middle-aged woman screamed and vanished into black smoke.

The hunched old man broke free of the time prison. Seeing his companion dead, fear flashed in his eyes, and he turned to run. Chu Nan used spatial teleportation to catch up, and the spatial dragon sword pierced through him from behind.

The hunched old man stared wide-eyed, letting out a resentful roar, and slowly turned into black smoke.

Chu Nan landed, slightly out of breath, and clapped his hands: "Done, all done."

Gu Yue ran over and looked him up and down: "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"It's nothing," Chu Nan waved his hand. "It's just that my soul power was used up a lot, so I need to rest for a while. I need to treat myself to a good nutritional meal when I get back; I haven't even received any overtime pay for all this overtime."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a deadly sense of crisis came from behind him!

Chu Nan's pupils contracted, and he instinctively pushed Gu Yue away, trying to use spatial teleportation to dodge—but it was too late.

"Buzz—"

The phoenix necklace on his chest activated automatically, instantly enveloping his entire body in a silver-white shield. A black claw shadow slammed into the shield, producing a deafening roar.

The shield trembled violently, its light dimming considerably, but it ultimately held firm.

Chu Nan felt a wave of lingering fear, and at the same time frantically complained, "Sister Leng's necklace saved my life! This is a treasure that can withstand a blow from a Title Douluo! And it's gone just like that? Almost my life! Looks like I'll have to ask her for reimbursement when I get back. No, wait, she gave it to me. Would asking for another one make me seem greedy?"

"Hey, handsome young man, we meet again~"

A charming voice came from the darkness.
