Shocking! Everyone was shocked!
Outside the cave, the night wind seemed to freeze at this moment.
The violent spirit power and sinister aura that were enough to swallow someone whole a moment ago had vanished without a trace.
In its place was a deathly silence, and a faint smell of blood that had not yet dissipated in the air.
The corpses of four Evil Soul Masters lay scattered on the ground, the expressions of unbelievable horror from before they died still frozen on their faces, as if they had seen something that overturned their understanding—a terror they could not comprehend.
And Liu Yuan stood calmly in the center of the corpses, his robes fluttering gently in the night breeze, as if he had just casually brushed away a few specks of dust.
The visual impact and psychological shock brought by this sudden scene were unparalleled.
Whether it was Ling Luochen, who had just escaped danger, or Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who had witnessed everything while hiding in the cave, their brains went blank for a brief moment, completely stunned.
"How... how is this possible?"
The siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen looked at the slightly thin back ahead in disbelief, their mouths hanging open unconsciously, unable to make a sound.
They never expected the ending to be so clean and decisive, so... utterly overwhelming!
That was a Six-Ring Soul Emperor and three Five-Ring Soul King-level Evil Soul Masters!
Each was known for their bizarre methods and combat power far exceeding those of the same Rank.
However, from the moment Liu Yuan struck to the end of the battle, the entire process was so fast they could barely react, as if it were only the time of a single breath.
Ling Luochen, lying on the ground, was also filled with shock.
Her beautiful eyes reflected Liu Yuan's figure, and the stormy waves in her heart even temporarily suppressed the intense pain and numbness in her body.
She finally exhaled a breath of turbid air weakly, her nerves that had been tightened to the limit relaxing instantly, as she murmured in a voice only she could hear, "Am I saved?"
Yes, she was saved.
When this thought clearly surfaced in her mind, the last breath that had been supporting her will also dissipated.
The sequelae of the Spider poison that had been forcibly suppressed, the weakness from spirit power overextension, and the exhaustion after high mental tension flooded over her like a bursting dam.
Thud!
Amidst a spinning world, Ling Luochen's vision went black, and she fainted on the spot, her pretty face making intimate contact with the cold ground.
This dull thud finally brought Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen back to their senses.
"Oh no!" Meng Hongchen cried out, not bothering to think carefully about Liu Yuan's inconceivable strength, and hurriedly rushed out of the cave.
She carefully picked up the unconscious Ling Luochen, walked quickly back into the warm and dry cave, skillfully took out a fragrant green Medicinal Pill from her spirit tool, pried open Ling Luochen's pearly teeth, and fed it to her.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hongchen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and walked to Liu Yuan's side.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, he helped dispose of them while speaking in a complex tone mixed with admiration, emotion, and even a hint of frustration: "Is this... your true strength, Brother Liu Yuan? No wonder you were so confident before and dared to strike directly..."
In Xiao Hongchen's heart, his admiration for Liu Yuan had climbed to a new height.
Before this, although he had some guesses about Liu Yuan's strength through the "Black Gold Horned Bull Beast" incident and thought he was incredibly powerful.
But he had to admit, he still far underestimated Liu Yuan.
It was no longer something that could be described as "powerful"; it was a crushing defeat, an absolute chasm of strength that crossed Ranks!
Under the circumstances just now, he asked himself, there was no way he could have turned the tide in an instant like Liu Yuan.
And Liu Yuan, who had achieved all this, was still a youth of the same age as him.
This made Xiao Hongchen, who always considered himself a Genius, truly feel what it meant by "there is always a heaven beyond heaven, and people beyond people."
Liu Yuan only smiled faintly, and while disposing of the Evil Soul Masters' corpses, he replied, "It was just luck. I just took advantage of a sneak attack."
"Luck?" Xiao Hongchen shook his head and did not argue further.
Whether it was luck or not, he knew very well.
That calm and effortless posture clearly stemmed from absolute confidence in his own power.
This Brother Liu Yuan hid far more secrets than he had imagined.
The two quickly cleaned up the Evil Soul Masters' corpses, incinerating them completely without leaving a trace.
When they returned to the cave, they heard Meng Hongchen's joyful voice: "Xiao, Brother Liu Yuan, she's better!"
Liu Yuan and Xiao Hongchen walked forward quickly.
They saw that although Ling Luochen's aura was still a bit weak, her state was significantly better.
The originally blackened skin on her calf had cleared of toxins and returned to its fair state, and her face had gained a hint of color from its previous deathly paleness.
It seemed the effect of Meng Hongchen's Medicinal Pill was excellent.
Ling Luochen opened her eyes, her gaze clear; she had obviously fully regained consciousness.
Her reaction was quick, and she understood what was going on almost the moment she saw the three of them.
She struggled to stand up to salute the three and first introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Ling Luochen, and I am a student of the Shrek Inner Academy."
Subsequently, with a sincere gaze and a solemn tone, she said, "Did you save me? I will never forget this life-saving grace. Please accept my bow!"
