Shui Wuya's expression turned cold as he walked confidently towards the group of people.
Originally, he had no intention of approaching, but since they were asking for trouble, he wouldn't hold back.
In the vast Extreme North, Shui Wuya usually avoided encountering people to save trouble. Encountering a group of troublemakers like this was a first.
"Huh, those two guys are actually walking towards us?" The actions of Shui Wuya were observed by the group, their expressions puzzled.
"What do you think they're coming for?"
There was still some distance between Shui Wuya and them, so they weren't worried about their conversation being overheard.
"It doesn't matter what they're up to. When they come over, let's take down the older one first and then tie up the younger one."
"We'll find out about their families and then demand a hefty ransom."
"No, that's too risky. If their family is powerful, we won't be safe extorting money. Let's just take whatever valuables they have on them, kill them, and leave."
The skinny man spoke, thinking he was being quite merciful.
Taking a trip to the Extreme North didn't cover their expenses at all.
Shui Wuya's appearance was just right. Before going back, they could make a profit.
As for whether they would face retaliation from Shui Wuya? They would see how the situation unfolded. If Shui Wuya's family was truly powerful, they'd let him go back. If not, they could just sleep in the Far North.
With such thoughts in mind, the group sharpened their weapons and prepared for battle, waiting for Shui Wuya to approach so they could swarm him.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters.
Shui Wuya was almost upon them.
They saw the luxurious clothes on Shui Wuya's body, and as the distance closed, they noticed the rings he wore on his fingers.
"This kid even has a storage-type soul device. He's wealthy!"
"Wearing so little, there might be more soul devices hidden in his clothes to protect him from the cold. This time, we're going to strike it rich."
The skinny man had the widest experience and couldn't help licking his lips. However, as his tongue extended, Han Feng's breath made him quickly retract it, embarrassing himself.
"In this world, even if you don't seek trouble, it always finds its way to you." Watching the six people who had gradually surrounded him, Shui Wuya sneered.
Over twenty people, six of whom surrounded him, while the rest also prepared for battle.
They didn't even intend to communicate with Shui Wuya; they chose to attack directly.
"In that case, don't blame me."
Before the six people around him could make a move, an illusion of an Ice Phoenix appeared out of thin air, and the snow around them danced upwards.
An extreme cold swept over the six people!
Although they had been enveloped in warmth provided by soul devices for a long time and hadn't felt cold, they suddenly felt like they were stripped naked and thrown into an icy cave!
"This kid is tricky!" The leader yelled frantically. A pair of beast ears appeared on his head, and a lot of hair grew on his cheeks.
Yellow yellow, purple purple, four soul rings appeared under his feet.
A Soul Ancestor!
The other six people had also completed Soul Fusion, all possessing similar beast martial souls. Apart from two who were Soul Elders with three rings, the rest were Soul Masters.
"With just this level of strength, you dare to attack me?" Shui Wuya assessed the strength of the six individuals and couldn't help but feel amused.
Not even one Soul King among them.
"Ice Lock!"
In an instant, all six were frozen into ice sculptures.
Crack!
The snow had already turned into ice, and as Shui Wuya stepped on it, a crisp sound echoed.
This move stunned the remaining people.
"A Five-Ringed Soul King! What's up with that fifth soul ring? It's blood-red. Could it be a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?"
A bloody, barbaric aura enveloped the minds of the crowd.
Only the elderly soul master present was unaffected, but even he couldn't resist releasing his own martial soul.
Simultaneously, four yellow, purple, and black soul rings appeared under his feet.
This old man unexpectedly turned out to be a Seven-Ringed Soul Saint!
The remaining dozen or so people consisted of five Soul Kings, seven Soul Masters, and the rest were Soul Elders.
Yellow and purple soul rings filled Shui Wuya's field of vision.
"Master, let me..." Upon seeing so many enemies, Han Feng worried that Shui Wuya alone wouldn't be able to handle them.
"I can handle it myself. You go take down that old man. Be careful not to kill him."
Han Feng hesitated for a moment but chose to trust Shui Wuya. "Master, be careful."
With those words, Han Feng's body instantly expanded by one size, rapidly completing Soul Fusion with lightning speed, and his feet touched the ground.
The ground shattered, and in an instant, Han Feng rushed to the old man's side!
The effect of the martial soul accompanied Han Feng, affecting the old man's reaction due to the cold air emanating from Han Feng's body.
Shui Wuya didn't pay attention to Han Feng's battle.
He trusted Han Feng. A soul master wouldn't stand a chance in close combat against Han Feng.
"Take down this kid first!" Seeing Han Feng go directly for the old man, ignoring them, the skinny man rejoiced inwardly.
This was an opportunity handed to them!
Although this kid seemed very strange, that blood-red fifth soul ring was terrifying.
But so what!
They still had over a dozen people here, with a total of seventy or eighty soul techniques!
Even if they just piled up soul techniques, they could directly overwhelm Shui Wuya!
"Use ice-type soul techniques to control him!" The skinny man ordered from the center.
Most of them had some connection to ice properties during their exploration of the Extreme North.
Three Soul Kings simultaneously acted, and a large number of ice spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, aiming to pierce Shui Wuya from below.
At the same time, a chill enveloped Shui Wuya's body.
"I've got him restricted!" one Soul King exclaimed excitedly.
However, the next moment, what happened left them dumbfounded.
Shui Wuya effortlessly leaped, evading the ice spike attacks as if unaffected by the control soul technique!
The Ice Immunity ability made the control soul techniques launched simultaneously by the three Soul Kings ineffective against him!
"Octagon, you've done a great job this time."
"Ice Lock!"
Shui Wuya's soul power rapidly depleted, but within the Extreme North, the Extreme Ice Body's ability to restore soul power was extremely fast!
When Shui Wuya's soul power was halfway depleted, it began to recover rapidly!
The extreme cold simultaneously attached to everyone present.
"Seal!"
A burst of cold erupted, breaking through everyone's soul power defenses!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten beautiful ice sculptures appeared on the ground, only Shui Wuya calmly walking through them.
