.
Upon arriving at this point, Lin Jie was surprised to find himself surrounded by seven or eight individuals.
The scene reminded him of the Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
However, this time, it seemed more than just a robbery.
Sure enough, after Lin Jie stopped, several masked men in black emerged from the jungle, followed by several more men who surrounded him.
Lin Jie glanced at the men in black and nodded. There were seven of them. After a few observations, his brow furrowed slightly. He noticed that, with the exception of the veiled woman in the center, each possessed a soul power comparable to his own.
A soul master capable of deploying such power must possess at least a significant influence. Lin Jie couldn't recall ever offending anyone. Could this really be a robbery?
Lin Jie looked at the leader again and, for some reason, felt a sense of familiarity.
"Go! Spare his life," a charming female voice rang out.
Then, as if receiving an order, three of the men in black sprang into action. As if aware of Lin Jie's formidable strength, they made no effort to hold back. From the outset, five spirit rings illuminated, their martial spirits possessing him directly. Before anyone even arrived, powerful spirit attacks were already unleashed.
Soul Kings, three of them. Two of them possessed the most advanced spirit ring configuration. Though older, possessing these optimally configured spirit rings clearly meant they were no less powerful.
However, despite possessing the strength of Soul Kings, they shouldn't provoke Lin Jie in his current state.
"Since you're so eager to die, let me help you."
Lin Jie dodged the three's attacks with incredible speed, flicking his finger and a special gun materialized in his hand.
This was a spirit guide he had been researching for a long time. It resembled a pistol, but with a more impressive design and immense power. Its core mechanism wasn't a bullet, but a magnetic device. Using magnetism as a detonator, the bullets it fired were unfathomable in their power. Lin Jie
had also studied the hidden weapons Tang San had gifted them, and his conclusion was... Those hidden weapons were mostly mechanical levers, but what puzzled Lin Jie was that, despite being propelled by mechanical levers, they were incredibly powerful. Even ordinary spirit masters couldn't withstand them. In the end, Lin Jie could only consider it the background music of this world.
While dodging the attacks of the three, Lin Jie raised his right hand and aimed his gun at the target.
Bang—bang—bang.
Three bullets blasted out at lightning speed.
Puff—.
The bullets hit flesh, and one of the men couldn't react in time, his body instantly reduced to a bloody mess.
Puff—puff.
Two more bullets pierced flesh.
Two of the men were quicker and just reacted, trying to dodge, but the bullets were too fast and they were still hit in the arms.
Puff—bang—.
After injuring them, Lin Jie fired two more shots.
"Ah. Ah!" screams rang out in succession.
Lin Jie's dodging and attacking speed was so fast that even the opponents couldn't react. Two of the three spirit kings were dead, and one was crippled.
"What was that? It's so powerful!" The leading woman's face was filled with shock, a touch of disbelief.
This was a Soul King, after all, and he was instantly dispatched.
Indeed, Soul Kings are incredibly powerful. If a Soul Master had used Lin Jie's spirit pistol against a Soul King, it wouldn't have been possible to unleash such sheer force. But Lin Jie himself was a formidable Soul King. With his strength, how could the power of his spirit pistol attack be weak?
It was like Tang San's hidden weapons, used as a Great Spirit Master and as a Titled Douluo, their power was beyond words.
Seeing the three men being dispatched so quickly, the masked woman in the lead suddenly became uncertain.
She had never imagined that Lin Jie possessed such a powerful weapon. But she had already taken action, and there was no way she would return empty-handed.
"All of you, attack together. Be careful of that strange weapon in his hand."
"Yes, Miss," a mechanical voice rang out from the three men.
Their gazes were grim, and they stood still the entire time. Even after seeing their three companions, two dead and one disabled, their expressions remained icy.
Lin Jie looked at the remaining four. Although masked, they exuded a chilling aura that made his heart flutter.
It was murderous intent, the energy condensed from countless deaths.
Possessing such a murderous aura, Lin Jie was now certain that these three were assassins trained by some clan.
Like machines, they unleashed their strongest attacks upon receiving the command, charging towards Lin Jie.
The one in the lead unleashed a wave of spirit rings, white, yellow, purple, and black, a six-ringed Soul Emperor. Surprisingly, he was a six-ringed Soul Emperor. While not the best spirit ring configuration, a Soul Emperor's spirit power was certainly not weak. Lin Jie was even more surprised to see another Soul Emperor behind them.
Two Soul Emperors, four Soul Kings, and the woman leading them was a Soul Sect leader.
Lin Jie couldn't recall ever offending those forces, who actually sent two Soul Emperors to confront him.
Both Soul Emperors were powerful attack-type spirit masters. With a tiger-step, they launched powerful spirit attacks towards Lin Jie.
The incredibly fast Soul King was clearly a sensitive attack-type spirit master.
After receiving the order, the three of them didn't care about their dignity at all and directly surrounded Lin Jie from three angles and launched an attack.
"I don't know who you are, but since you seek death, I'll grant your wish." Three bullets blasted towards the three attackers from three different angles.
Simultaneously , with a flick of his finger, four or five rudimentary soul grenades appeared. However, Lin Jie wasn't ready for safety, so he produced four or five more, a total of ten soul grenades hovering silently in his hands. Facing the incoming bullets, the three men didn't hesitate and immediately activated their soul abilities. Two dodged, while the Soul Emperor took the bullet head-on. After a pause of a second or two, a purple soul ring and two black soul rings illuminated, and powerful soul abilities attacked Lin Jie from three sides. Lin Jie sneered at the attack. When the three men closed within ten meters, Lin Jie trembled with his soul power, and the ten soul grenades suspended in his hands trembled simultaneously. Then, under Lin Jie's magnetic control, the ten soul grenades launched fiercely towards the three men. Suddenly, Lin Jie's entire body levitated, and with a whoosh, he soared rapidly into the air. In the blink of an eye, he was over twenty meters high. Seeing their target suddenly soar, the two Soul Emperors and one Soul King paused their attacks, their cold eyes fixed, as if they had witnessed something incredible. Across the continent, aside from a few spirits with some flight abilities, few could fly independently. And yet, right before them appeared someone, without a flying spirit, who had simply soared into the sky. Not only were the three surprised, but even the woman in the black veil behind them was a bit surprised. Facing the incoming black iron ball, the two Soul Emperors and one Soul King assumed it was the same attack as before, so one of them used a spirit ability to block it, while the other two tried to dodge. However, to their horror, as the pitch-black iron ball approached them, a blinding white light emanated from it. Sensing something ominous, the three quickly reacted and used their spirit abilities to resist. But something even more terrifying happened. Boom—boom—boom. A deafening, earthquake-like explosion roared up. "Ahhh..." Amidst this roar, a shrill cry echoed. Each soul grenade was inlaid with countless sharp, diamond-tipped weapons. Under the powerful blast, these weapons erupted in all directions, unstoppable within a twenty-meter radius. Furthermore, it wasn't just one attacking them, but more than a dozen. That 's right, more than a dozen. Lin Jie had initially felt that the Soul Emperors were quite formidable. If they possessed powerful defensive soul skills or special abilities, that would be a disaster. So, after soaring twenty meters into the air, Lin Jie pulled a few more from his storage ring. Under magnetic control, several soul grenades flew towards the underground blast center. As they reached the blast center, there was another earth-shattering, landslide-like sound, accompanied by screams. Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh. Countless stray bullets shot out in all directions. Twenty meters away, the masked woman in a black veil's expression drastically changed, her eyes gleaming with fear as she gazed at the center of the explosion. Facing the barrage of stray bullets, she, a Soul Sect master and a skilled Agility Attack Spirit Master, believed she could dodge them quickly. Her soul power raced, her body dodging swiftly. But the sheer number of stray bullets and their speed was so immense that even for a Agility Attack Spirit Master like her, a wound lacerated her arm. Finally dodging the terrifying stray bullets and sharp blades, she breathed a sigh of relief. Bang. A gunshot rang out. Before the masked woman could react, the pain in her chest caused her gaze to freeze. In mid-air, Lin Jie finally found his bearings and spotted the woman dodging stray bullets and sharp blades not far away. He spun his soul guide pistol beautifully, then aimed at her heart and, with a bang, fired a single shot. Lin Jie was no pushover. Since he dared to rob and kill him, he must be prepared to be killed in return. It might be because the opponent was too fast, it was definitely not because Lin Jie missed his aim. He originally wanted to hit her heart, but who knew that he missed and hit her chest. And it just happened to hit that spot. But Lin Jie didn't do it on purpose. After a while, the explosions gradually died down, and a huge pit appeared in his eyes right below Lin Jie. In the pit, three broken corpses fell into the pit. If they were not killed by Lin Jie's dozen soul grenades at the same time, then Lin Jie really admired them. Lin Jie controlled his body to float down, glanced at the corpse in the pit, and used his mental power to detect it, and his brows frowned slightly. (End of this chapter)
