The newcomer moved with agility, clearly possessing considerable soul power.
Under the moonlight, her appearance became clearer.
She wore a deep blue, form-fitting instructor's robe, the fabric of which was of exquisite quality, shimmering faintly in the moonlight, perfectly outlining the alluring curves of a mature woman.
Her waist was slender, her arms and legs full, her figure excellent. Her long, dark green hair was styled into an elegant yet capable bun at the back of her head, with a few strands casually falling to her fair neck.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, with delicate features, giving her an ethereal, fairy-like appearance,leaving the two siblings below mesmerized.
It was none other than Shui Liuli, the instructor leading the group from Tianshui Academy.
Her beautiful, watery eyes quickly scanned the surroundings before landing on Dongfang Jing and the young girl beside him.
Seeing that the two seemed unharmed, she parted her red lips slightly,her tone carrying just the right amount of concern, yet maintaining the polite distance between strangers.
"Young sir, what happened here? I sensed a violent fluctuation of soul power nearby just now."
Her voice was gentle and soothing, possessing a reassuring quality.
Dongfang Jing's gaze lingered on her for a moment, then he nodded slightly and replied succinctly, his tone polite: "Thank you for your concern, senior. It was just an attack; a few petty scoundrels were only after my money."
He turned his gaze back towards the alleyway,where the sound of air being torn apart and violent fluctuations of soul power were rapidly approaching.
Shui Liuli followed his gaze, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
She saw the tall, thin Soul Master with a sinister face leading the charge, accompanied by five Soul Venerables exuding murderous intent and fierce eyes, rapidly pursuing them.
The bloodthirsty aura emanating from them was almost undisguised, indicating they were no ordinary Soul Masters.
They seemed more like desperate outlaws who had spent years teetering on the edge of darkness.
Shui Liuli was immediately startled, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
'They are all ruthless individuals! How could he escape unscathed with a child amidst such a siege? And even... appear completely unharmed? His aura is so steady?'
She couldn't help but turn her head again, taking a deep look at the masked, mysterious, and composed young man beside her.
Her assessment of his true strength instantly rose several times over, and her curiosity intensified.
Dongfang Jing withdrew his gaze, turned to Shui Liuli, and cupped his hands in a request: "Senior, the opponent is a fallen soul master, bloodthirsty by nature. I must protect my younger sister and cannot exert my full strength. Could you please lend a hand?"
Upon hearing this, a mature and confident smile appeared on Shui Liuli's beautiful face.
The previously restrained soul power around her began to subtly fluctuate, and the aura of a Soul Emperor slowly spread out, carrying an invisible sense of oppression.
"Of course. As Soul Masters, how can we stand idly by when we encounter such wicked individuals who have fallen into evil and wreak havoc on the world? Eradicating evil is our inescapable duty."
Her tone was resolute, filled with righteous indignation.
"Thank you," Dongfang Jing said, offering no further words.
The enemy's figure was already approaching.
Shui Liuli's eyes flashed sharply, and the fluctuations of her soul power suddenly surged!
She moved like a streak of blue light, appearing gracefully.
Sensing this pressure, the arrogant air on the faces of the fallen Soul Masters instantly froze,their bodies stiffening abruptly, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost!
"Soul Emperor?" The tall, thin man was the first to feel it, experiencing it most acutely.
His voice trembled, his tone changing.
His gaze swept in terror over the six perfectly matched soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—rising from beneath Shui Liuli's feet.
His heart nearly leaped out of his chest!
When he saw the crystal-clear, snowflake-shaped academy badge on her chest,he grasped at it like a lifeline and hurriedly cried out, "Wait, wait! A master from Tianshui Academy! We are—"
"Shut up!"
Shui Liuli interrupted coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with disgust.
"Your filth is nauseating!"
She was too lazy to waste words, and the fluctuations of her soul power became dense and powerful.
A clear, melodious buzzing sound rang out, and her body was instantly covered with a smooth, moist, pale blue sheen. Her legs, brought together, shimmered with a faint blue light, revealing the smooth lines of a tail fin.
The surrounding air became humid, filled with a faint scent of sea salt.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Raging Wave Sonic Wave!"
A fourth purple light flashed beneath her feet, and her azure eyes shone brightly!
A visible pale blue ring of sound waves suddenly spread out from her center!
This sound wave contained the mental impact and physical shock of a Soul Emperor.
The double blow instantly swept through the entire alley!
The Fallen Ones screamed in agony, clutching their heads as the sound waves pierced their minds, causing their soul power to stagnate instantly.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Dongfang Jing was not idle either.
In this chaotic moment,a blurry mirror image silently appeared behind a Soul Venerable who was screaming in agony, completely unprepared.
"First Soul Skill, Sharpening."
The mirror image swung its arm in sync, the mirror blade slashing horizontally!
"Pfft—"
Extremely clean!
The Soul Venerable's voice stopped abruptly, and his head rolled off.
"Fifth Brother!!" his companion screamed in terror.
The tall, thin man was shaken to his core, his fierce gaze sweeping over Dongfang Jing, but he couldn't escape at all!
Shui Liuli clearly saw this bizarre kill, a look of astonishment flashing across her pretty face.
But she immediately composed herself, her azure eyes shining even brighter, showing no mercy.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Deep Blue Judgment!"
She gracefully raised her arms,the dense water vapor around her instantly condensing into countless deep blue concentrated water spheres, each containing extremely terrifying compressed soul power energy.
With a light wave of her jade hand, these water spheres transformed into deadly streaks of light,accurately shooting towards the remaining five Fallen Ones!
Boom boom boom boom!
Deafening explosions rang out one after another, the deep blue water spheres exploding upon contact.
The combined effects of freezing and high-pressure water explosions created a violent shockwave of soul power mixed with shattered ice fragments, scattering and impacting the alleyway walls violently!
The Soul Masters didn't even have time to fully utter a scream.
They were either frozen into ice sculptures and then shattered;or torn apart by the high-pressure water explosion!
The tall, thin Soul Master tried to block with his dagger,but his fourth Soul Skill seemed utterly powerless before a true ten-thousand-year Soul Skill.
The dagger was blasted away, and he was swallowed by the water sphere.
Smoke and water vapor mingled and filled the air.
After the energy shockwave subsided slightly, only a few jagged craters and rapidly melting ice crystals remained.
Not a single enemy remained standing.
Dongfang Jing's pupils contracted slightly, his heart filled with dread: 'As expected of a Soul Emperor, terrifying indeed.'
The huge commotion had already alerted the people nearby.
A cacophony of voices and hurried footsteps began to echo from afar.
Some bold Soul Masters and residents were peeking out from a distance.
Just then, several girls from Tianshui Academy came running over, panting, their small faces filled with worry and lingering fear.
Seeing this, Shui Liuli's eyebrows immediately furrowed, and she scolded, "Didn't I tell you to find a safe place to wait? Did you ignore my words?"
