Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 215: Chapter 214: Northern Mountain Sword Master

Xiao Yi’s series of actions were executed in one breath.

From blasting Xue Tu away to killing Murong Qianjun and Murong Xuan,

it was almost completed in an instant.

So quick that bystanders could hardly react.

Even the Northern Mountain County King and the Sub Hall Master were stunned.

By the time Xue Tu recovered from his daze, the severe pain on his face shocked him at first.

Then he touched his own cheek.

Seeing his hand covered in blood, a nameless rage suddenly surged within him.

”Damn kid, I’m going to kill you,” roared Xue Tu frenziedly.

But, Xiao Yi had already disappeared without a trace.

”You can’t escape,” shouted Xue Tu, as a golden light suddenly erupted from his body.

”Damn, that kid was fierce just now,” the Northern Mountain County King finally came to his senses.

”But to kill two men in front of Xue Tu while only at the Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layer...”

The Sub Hall Master said in a deep voice, ”Xue Tu is going to go mad.”

”To be beaten bloody in public by a young brat, it’d be strange if he wasn’t furious.”

”He’s drawing on the power of the Earth Element Golden Core now, that kid probably can’t escape.”

...

On the other side, Xiao Yi, clutching Xiao Chong, had covered several thousand meters in an instant.

And just at that moment,

the entire sky, within a ten-mile radius, exploded with spiritual energy.

An immense force suddenly bore down on Xiao Yi with vengeance.

”Hm?” Xiao Yi’s face changed dramatically.

”Don’t even think about escaping!”

The furious voice of Xue Tu boomed throughout the sky.

At the same time, a golden light enveloped Xiao Yi from above.

The force pressing down on Xiao Yi suddenly intensified.

Under the golden light, the rampant spiritual energy’s pressure increased by many tens of times.

Xiao Yi’s rapidly moving figure was instantly inhibited.

”Earth Element Golden Core? Damn it,” Xiao Yi’s face could not look worse.

The Earth Origin Realm’s strength derived in large part from the Earth Element Golden Core.

It was a thing of a different category.

Once the Golden Core was activated, it meant that the Earth Origin Realm Martial Artist had unleashed their full strength.

Previously, in the Demon Beast Forest within the Ten Realms Destruction Formation,

the reason Xiao Yi managed to kill Old Monster Yougu

was solely because Yougu had allocated his Earth Element Golden Core to maintaining the Ten Realms Destruction Formation.

Without the Golden Core, Yougu’s strength was greatly reduced.

Otherwise, with a Golden Core-empowered Yougu, killing Xiao Yi would be certain death for him.

Just like now.

Xiao Yi had already fled so far.

But as soon as Xue Tu activated his Golden Core, Xiao Yi could not even escape, being instantly inhibited.

A fully powered Earth Origin Realm Martial Artist was terrifyingly strong.

...

Elsewhere, thousands of meters away,

Xue Tu smirked coldly, knowing he had Xia Yi trapped.

Beside him, Murong Jiao’er, looking at the corpses of Murong Qianjun and Murong Xuan, was completely frozen in shock.

The next second, Murong Jiao’er also erupted in a furious rage.

”Brother... Murong Xuan...” Murong Jiao’er gritted her teeth and bellowed out, ”Xiao Yi, I want you dead.”

”Uncle Xue Tu, bring him back to me. I want to take his life myself.”

”Fine.” Xue Tu wiped the blood from his face and in a flash, he was rushing towards Xiao Yi, still thousands of meters away.

...

In the distance, Xiao Yi watched as Xue Tu raced toward him, anxiety taking over.

Breaking the Golden Core-enhanced spiritual energy inhibition was immensely difficult.

He couldn’t do it right now.

Unless...

Xiao Yi’s expression turned cold, ready to fight to the death.

A wave of spiritual energy kept Xiao Chong afloat.

His hands, one holding the Blood Slaughter Sword, drew upon the remaining power of the sword.

The Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, was already brewing.

This was going to be his only defense against Xue Tu, aside from the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Success or failure hinged on this one move.

Xiao Yi instantly calmed down, his gaze fixed on Xue Tu, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

...

At the same time, before Blood Slaughter’s figure struck at Xiao Yi.

The Northern Mountain County King and the Sub Hall Master, upon hearing Murong Jiao’er’s furious roar, suddenly their expressions changed drastically.

”She... What did that little girl just say? Xiao Yi?” The Northern Mountain County King asked in shock.

”That kid just now, seems to have said that Xiao Yi wants to kill someone, and Blood Mist Valley can’t keep them safe,” the Sub Hall Master exclaimed in surprise.

”Xiao Yi? Isn’t he the same person the Great Elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect mentioned in a message an hour ago?” The Northern Mountain County King’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

”No wonder that kid was so fierce, turns out he is the Northern Mountain Sword Master.”

Several hours ago, after Yui Rulong and Mu Miaomiao sent the information back to the Sword Sect.

The entire Sky-splitting Sword Sect was mobilized.

In the eyes of the Great Elder, given Xiao Yi’s current strength, anything that could put him in danger was no small matter.

In his anxiety, he quickly sent a message through the Demon Hunting Hall in Baiwu City to the Demon Hunting Hall in Northern Mountain City.

Half an hour ago, after the Sub Hall Master learned the news, he was planning to go with the Northern Mountain County King to investigate the issue.

But when the aura of Blood Slaughter appeared, the two were concerned that an Earth Origin Realm figure would wreak havoc in Northern Mountain City.

So they couldn’t get away and had to follow Blood Slaughter.

Never did they imagine that the person the Great Elder asked them to find and protect had been right before their eyes the whole time.

The Northern Mountain County King and the Sub Hall Master rapidly processed these thoughts.

”Damn it, Blood Slaughter, get back here!” The Northern Mountain County King immediately reacted.

His figure soared to the extreme, instantly heading towards Xiao Yi.

Before he arrived, a mighty aura was already pressing down on Blood Slaughter.

...

On the other hand, Blood Slaughter was about to approach Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi, at the risk of revealing his identity, was preparing to make a move.

Just then, high in the sky, two streaks of golden light suddenly struck down.

The Golden Cores of the Northern Mountain County King and the Sub Hall Master were mobilized in an instant.

Instead, they immediately restrained Blood Slaughter.

In the next second, the two figures instantly appeared beside Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was startled, withdrawing his intention to strike.

Ahead, Blood Slaughter’s face was icy as he yelled, ”Northern Mountain County King, haven’t you said you wouldn’t get involved?”

”You dare to obstruct the business of Blood Mist Valley?”

”Go to hell,” the Northern Mountain County King roared in anger, ”Northern Mountain County hasn’t produced a Sword Master for hundreds of years, and you think you can kill one?”

”Lucky for me I reacted in time, or else, for every hair missing from Xiao Yi’s head, I’d have taken your life.”

The Northern Mountain County King was a straightforward man.

But Northern Mountain County, as the weakest county, had been ridiculed for so many years.

They finally had a Sword Master, an opportunity to turn the tables.

And Blood Slaughter nearly ruined it, no wonder he was furious.

At this moment, Blood Slaughter was still seething with the anger and humiliation he had felt from Xiao Yi’s previous blow, unable to listen to reason.

”Get out of the way,” Blood Slaughter shouted, brimming with killing intent.

”I, Blood Slaughter, am a famed figure even in the whole Flame Martial Kingdom.”

”Today, in your Northern Mountain County, I’ve been humiliated by a junior, and you think I will just let it go?”

”Northern Mountain County King, Sub Hall Master, I, Blood Slaughter, say again.”

”Step aside.”

”Otherwise, do not blame my Blood Mist Valley’s assassins for coming later to settle scores.”

”Afraid of you?” the Northern Mountain County King said coldly. ”Have you forgotten why your Blood Mist Valley, as an assassin group, is allowed to exist within the Flame Martial Kingdom?”

”The King personally decreed that you are not allowed to assassinate government personnel; not to assassinate talented martial artists under 30, especially Sword Dao Practitioners.”

”Now, the Flame Martial Kingdom’s most outstanding one of the thirty-six Sword Dao talents.”

”Do you have the guts to kill him?”

”Hmph, not even your Valley Master will be able to protect you if the Northern Mountain Sword Master Xiao Yi loses a single hair.”

”Northern Mountain Sword Master?” The words of the Commandery Prince sent a chill down Blood Slaughter’s spine.

He calmed down from his rage, looking at Xiao Yi in surprise.

Xiao Yi gave a cold smile, taking out the Sword Master Token from his chest.

Only now did he realize how significant the authority of the Northern Mountain Sword Master was.

The release of the Sword Master Token, with its surging aura and breath, could not be faked.

The Northern Mountain County King and the Sub Hall Master quickly showed Xiao Yi a gesture of equal status.

”It is indeed the Northern Mountain Sword Master.” They looked at each other and smiled, also feeling relieved.

”Heh,” the Sub Hall Master laughed, ”The Demon Hunting Hall’s duty is to hunt demon beasts. We don’t get involved in the conflicts of various forces, nor do we have the right to manage your Blood Mist Valley’s affairs.”

”But, if you, Blood Slaughter, truly want to bring assassins to slaughter in Northern Mountain County.”

”Then, I can only report to the Main Hall.”

”Don’t forget, the Demon Hunting Hall was established to hunt demon beasts. And the reason for hunting demon beasts was to maintain human safety.”

”Perhaps, we should label you as rats that everyone itches to kill, just like people from the Black Demon Hall.”

”You...” Blood Slaughter’s face turned pale with anger, grinding his teeth in fury.

...

The second update.
