The moment those words were spoken, the three figures flying through the air accelerated their charge toward Feng Piaoling. In the blink of an eye, they were less than ten meters away.
"Die!"
Stepping forward with his left foot, Feng Piaoling swung his sword. It was his newly created combat technique: the Golden Brilliance Quake-Kill Sword.
Puchi!
A thick, golden sword qi flashed across the waists of the three Soul Kings in mid-air. Behind them, every tree within a ten-meter radius was instantly severed, sending wood chips and dust billowing into the sky.
A moment later, the bodies of the three men split in two and crashed to the ground.
"What? He killed three Soul Kings in a single strike!"
Huang Chutian, whose face had been ashen with despair just moments ago, began to cough from sheer excitement. Although he knew Feng Piaoling was powerful—strong enough to intercept the martial soul fusion skill of Dai Huabin and Huo Yuhao alone—he had never imagined it would be to this extent.
To kill three Soul Kings in one blow... just how powerful had he become?
This was no longer a level that could be compared to students of Shrek's Outer Courtyard. Even in the Inner Courtyard, there were likely few who could achieve such a feat. One had to remember that Feng Piaoling's second martial soul didn't even have a single soul ring attached to it yet.
If Huang Chutian was this shocked, the others were even more so.
Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Nanmen Yun'er, and Zhu Lu—who were already Feng Piaoling's "little fangirls"—all gazed at him with dazed, infatuated expressions. Unlike the others, they had believed in Feng Piaoling from the very beginning, yet seeing him actually dispatch three enemies with a single strike still left them stunned, their eyes turning fervent.
Similarly, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Cui Yajie, who had joined the Soul Hall due to Feng Piaoling's charisma and the conditions he offered, felt their eyes light up. Having felt their hearts waver out of instinctive fear during the ambush, their gazes now became more determined than ever.
Following such a formidable Hall Master, what was there left to worry about?
"Attack together! Kill him!" Seeing their three Soul King companions killed in an instant, the remaining three were scared out of their wits.
The leader, a Soul Emperor, let out a loud roar and raised his right hand. A heavy blade flickering with pitch-black flames was already leveled at Feng Piaoling. Those black flames originated from a black, ten-thousand-year soul ring.
There was a massive chasm between their soul power levels. Without a doubt, in terms of raw power, this strike surpassed the current state of Feng Piaoling's Golden Brilliance Quake-Kill Sword. At the same time, the fifth soul rings of the other two also lit up.
But before they could unleash their soul skills, Feng Piaoling's eyes suddenly erupted with divine light. A ripple of invisible brilliance expanded in a fan shape. Within its radius, the three attackers were overcome by dizziness and their internal auras fell into chaos. This was the Spirit-Rending Divine Eye, modified by Electrolux.
Although Feng Piaoling had only recently begun to dabble in this technique and his cultivation was not yet profound, he had practiced the Heavenly Demon Eye for many years. His mental strength was peerlessly vast. Forget two Soul Kings and a Soul Emperor—even a true Soul Saint would be affected.
The next moment, the terrifying golden sword qi arrived. It flashed across the waists of the two Soul Kings and carved a trench ten meters long and several meters deep into the grass behind them, sending soil and debris flying.
As for the Soul Emperor, his mental strength was significantly higher than the others, allowing him to regain consciousness at the critical moment. However, he only managed to jump halfway up before screaming in agony as his legs were severed cleanly at the hip.
From the start of the battle to its conclusion, barely a minute had passed.
As soon as the fighting stopped, Huang Chutian couldn't help but shout, "Holy crap! That was too strong! Boss is so fierce! I've decided—from now on, Boss is my idol."
The others looked at each other, smiles spreading across their faces. Clearly, Feng Piaoling's strength was no longer bound by the word "genius"; he had completely won them over.
Swish!
The moment the legless Soul Emperor hit the ground, Feng Piaoling's figure blurred. He appeared before the man and thrust his sword into the man's right shoulder.
"Are you from Shrek Academy?" Feng Piaoling asked coldly, lifting the legless Soul Emperor into the air with one hand on the sword.
The Soul Emperor, who had thought he was a dead man, froze. Enduring the bone-piercing pain in his shoulder and stumps, he gasped out, "Yes, yes! I am a teacher from Shrek Academy's Outer Courtyard! If you know what's good for you, you'll release me! You are Shrek students yourselves; you should know that if you kill a Shrek teacher, not even the royal families of the three great empires could protect you!"
At that moment, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Nanmen Yun'er, Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Huang Chutian walked over. Hearing the Soul Emperor's words, their faces filled with righteous indignation.
"It really is someone from Shrek Academy. Are they trying to silence us just because we left after being expelled?" Huang Chutian growled through gritted teeth.
Xiao Xiao added, "Is it really that surprising? Shrek has always been a place that hides filth. Back at Sea God Lake, I was hunted by an Evil Soul Master from the Inner Courtyard. If Brother Feng hadn't stepped in to help me, I would have been dead long ago."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened further. No one had expected that the so-called "Number One Academy on the Continent" would be this corrupt. For a moment, everyone felt an immense sense of disappointment toward Shrek Academy.
To be hunted down simply for leaving the school—was this an academy or a criminal sect? Even sects didn't usually kill those they cast out. Furthermore, hiding Evil Soul Masters within its walls made it seem like a gathering place for dark forces.
"Benefactor, what should we do next?" Jiang Nannan looked at Feng Piaoling.
"I underestimated the darkness of Shrek Academy." Seeing that the mood was set, Feng Piaoling looked back toward the direction of the academy and declared, "Thirty years to the east, thirty years to the west. Shrek Academy, the Soul Hall will remember this grudge."
"That's right! we will remember this!" Everyone cried out in a shared hatred.
Feng Piaoling turned back to the Soul Emperor. "As for you... jie jie jie... since Shrek Academy sent you to intercept us, I'll take a bit of interest out on you first."
"No... stop..."
Amidst the Soul Emperor's terrified screams, Feng Piaoling swung his longsword. The blade sliced from the man's right shoulder down to his left abdomen. The Soul Emperor let out a blood-curdling shriek as half of his torso was severed. After twitching a few times on the ground, he went completely still.
Even in death, he couldn't believe it. He had clearly stated he was a Shrek teacher, yet this person still dared to kill him.
Feng Piaoling retracted his Green Lotus Sword martial soul and brushed his hand against the Four Symbols Coiling Dragon Belt at his waist, taking out twelve spare Fire-Ball Talismans. He tossed them out.
The talismans transformed into twelve fireballs, landing on the bisected corpses of the six ambushers. With a roar of flames, the bodies were instantly consumed by a raging fire.
