Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Death of the Sect Master

”Do you want to die?” The woman in white cast a chilly gaze toward the Flame Martial King.

Just that look alone caused the temperature around them to plummet to a terrifying degree.

Within a hundred meters of the Flame Martial King, layers of ice frost suddenly formed.

The frost that burst over the ghastly wound on the Flame Martial King’s body exploded in an instant.

Not even the formidable body of the Extreme Realm Martial Artist could halt the spread of the frost that continually froze over.

The woman’s cold words even made the Flame Martial King’s face dramatically change color.

”Senior, please calm down.” The Martial Artists around were all shocked, and immediately performed respectful salutations.

”Do you also want to die?” The woman turned her gaze toward the crowds.

Crack, crack, crack...

Countless layers of Cold Frost instantly formed on everyone present.

But not one of the Royal Capital’s powerful figures dared to move, and not one dared to resist.

The Great Commander, Mu Qingyun, and other peak experts all bowed deeply, exclaiming in alarm, ”Senior, please calm down.”

Yet, the woman was unmoved by their words.

The murderous intent in her eyes did not diminish by the slightest, nor did the fury in her heart fade away.

Only when her gaze fell upon Xiao Yi did an uncontrollable excitement and joy reveal itself.

Right at that moment, the Sect Master’s angry words resounded, ”Senior Swordswoman, do you realize what you are doing?”

”Attacking the King, do you intend to rebel?”

”If our Sky-splitting Sword Sect carries an eternal stigma because of this, can you bear the responsibility?”

”Presumptuous!” The Great Elder bellowed angrily.

The nearly hundred Sect casual elders who had neither acted nor spoken were all visibly excited by the woman’s arrival.

”Sect Master, do not be disrespectful,” the group of casual elders said with a cold look toward the Sect Master.

The woman waved her hand, and everyone fell silent.

The next second, the woman looked at the Sect Master, ”Treason?”

”If you seek to destroy our Sword Sect’s hope of inheritance, to doom our Sword Sect to extinction,”

”Then this Kingdom, I rebel against it.”

Her icy and unyielding words shocked everyone.

Not a single person dared to rebut the woman’s forceful statement.

Only the King clenched his teeth, enduring his wounds and pain, and said, ”Does Senior imply that you want the Sky-splitting Sword Sect to wage war against the entire Flame Martial Kingdom?”

The King’s voice was somewhat heavy.

The woman coldly said, ”What, do you think I don’t dare? Or perhaps, are you... threatening me?”

The King’s face darkened as he said through clenched teeth, ”I dare not, my intention is merely to ask Senior to reconsider.”

”Please, Senior, reconsider.”

Nearly all the Martial Artists present spoke out,

Including more than half of the disciples and deacons of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, who knelt down with low voices.

Their voices instantly echoed throughout the entire Sect.

The woman narrowed her eyes, her expression growing even colder.

Crack, crack, the woman clenched her fists, and after a long pause, finally released her grip.

With an indignant wave of her hand,

The Ice Frost melted in an instant.

”Thank you, Senior.” A crowd of Martial Artists rose to their feet and bowed in gratitude.

The King breathed a sigh of relief.

”Remember this,” the woman said, staring coldly at the King, ”Don’t let me find out you’re going after that youngster Xiao Yi behind the scenes.”

”I’ve killed many Extreme Realm Experts with my own hands. You know how many, and one less won’t make a difference.”

”Now go away.”

The King’s face looked displeased, but he still bowed and turned to leave.

At that moment, Xiao Yi, who had not spoken until now, looked at the Sect Master.

”Sect Master, there are some matters between us that have not been settled.”

The Sect Master retorted coldly with an arrogant expression, ”Oh? And you seek to judge me now?”

”Youngster, what gives you the qualification to speak so freely with me?”

The eight elders also said, ”Youngster, although Senior Swordswoman has spared your life, this is not your place to speak.”

”Step aside.”

”Who says he’s not qualified?” The woman’s icy voice rang out once again.

”He is the Sect’s Strongest Sword Master and the guardian of our Sect.”

”His standing is equal to that of the Sect Master, and if his strength surpasses that of the Sect Master, he is even entitled to depose the Sect Master.”

The eight elders were taken aback and said, ”Senior, Xiao Yi does not have that right.”

”Right?” The woman scoffed coldly, ”I grant it to him, do you have objections?”

”We dare not,” the eight elders quickly conceded, retreating to one side without another word.

Next to Xiao Yi, the Great Elder stood and fiercely glared at the Sect Master, angrily saying, ”Sect Master, it should go without saying what you have done.”

”Xiao Yi went far to the Extreme Cold Land, to participate in the Ice Edge Conference.”

”Through three consecutive rounds of competitions, overpowering all rivals, he always emerged first, earning immense prestige for our Sky-splitting Sword Sect.”

”Throughout the conference, many powers in the Extreme Cold Land envied Xiao Yi.”

”He did not suffer the slightest loss at the hands of outsiders, but instead, because of the traps laid by you and the other Sect Elders, he was thrust into the Extreme Cold Rift, barely clinging to life.”

”Now that he has luckily come back alive, I must see justice done.”

As soon as the Great Elder’s voice fell, the idle elders around him suddenly burst into uproar.

”What, pushed into the Extreme Cold Rift?”

”Wasn’t it said that he fell in due to his own carelessness?”

”That Ice Heart Holy Fruit grows on the edge of the rift, where Gang Wind is fiercely terrifying.”

”Wasn’t it said that Xiao Yi tried to forcibly pick the Holy Fruit, was insufficiently strong, and instead fell down into the rift?”

A crowd of idle elders, their surprised and questioning gazes all converging on the Sect Master.

”Sect Master, have you deceived us?”

”And you guys too.”

The idle elders turned their gazes towards the eight of the nine elders.

The eight elders bowed their heads, not daring to meet the angry gazes of the idle elders.

The Sect Master clenched his teeth, disregarding the surprised and questioning gazes around him.

”Yes, I did deceive you, what of it?”

”I regret it now.”

”Hmph,” the Great Elder snorted coldly, ”Sect Master, you have harmed Xiao Yi time and again, and a simple regret is enough?”

”Heh,” the Sect Master suddenly sneered, ”Great Elder, you misunderstand.”

”The ’regret’ I speak of refers to not killing Xiao Yi directly at the time.”

”Letting him escape the Extreme Cold Rift instead allowed him to attain a great opportunity and even escape.”

”I truly regret not acting at that moment.”

”You...” Anger was written all over the Great Elder’s face.

”Hmph,” the Sect Master snorted coldly, his gaze landing on the woman with a face full of disdain.

”Senior, I knew you would side with Xiao Yi.”

”I, the Sect Master, do not want this position.”

”From today onwards, I renounce my position as Sect Master and expel myself from the sect, no longer a disciple of the Sword Sect.”

”What...” Shock spread throughout the surrounding crowd.

At the same time, the eight elders also stepped forward and said, ”We too shall accompany the Sect Master in leaving, and from today on, we expel ourselves from the sect.”

The Sect Master laughed coldly and walked towards the King, with the eight elders closely following behind.

The King’s face brightened with joy, and he declared loudly, ”I announce that the former Sword Sect Master and the former second, third, fourth... seventh, eighth, and ninth elders of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect are now removed from the Sword Sect.”

”They will join my Royal Family and will be granted the positions of Honored Guardians.”

”Thank you, Your Majesty,” the Sect Master and the others quickly expressed their thanks with a bow.

”Damn it, are you betraying the sect?” the Great Elder shouted angrily.

”We are simply expelling ourselves from the sect,” the Sect Master sneered.

Then, the Sect Master turned to the woman, ”Senior, witness the foolish decision you’ve made today.”

”Someday, you will pay for your foolishness.”

”When that time comes, we will personally return to save the sect.”

”Hahahahaha.”

The Sect Master and his companions laughed wildly, leaving with the King.

The woman’s face was as cold as frost, and she remained silent.

Just at this moment, a figure soared into the sky, chasing after the Sect Master and the others.

The figure was none other than Xiao Yi.

Blizzard Sword in hand, he fiercely slashed.

”Outrageous!” The King shouted coldly, thrusting out a palm.

Xiao Yi sneered, and from his hand as well, unleashed a strand of Sword Qi.

The terrifying Sword Qi, as if it could tear through the heavens, was unstoppable.

Su Bai was instantly knocked flying.

The King, caught off guard, was also pushed back several steps.

”Peak combat power of the Extreme Realm Third Layer?”

”No, he’s almost reaching the mid-stage of the Extreme Realm.”

Both of them were shocked and lost their composure.

Xiao Yi paid them no heed, and with one sword strike, the eight elders were instantly killed.

With the next sword, he thrust directly into the Sect Master’s chest.

The Sect Master’s pupils constricted, his eyes filled with the agony of pain.

”You...”

A fierce and cold smirk crossed Xiao Yi’s lips, ”Who said I was going to judge you?”

”You think only you can be ruthless?”

”I can be ruthless, a hundred times more than you ever were.”

The words fell.

Blizzard Sword Qi surged from Xiao Yi’s hand.

Blood spilled from the Sect Master’s mouth, and the life force within his body was instantly destroyed by the Sword Qi.

”Puh.” The Sect Master spat out a mouthful of bloody agony.

The next second, he was gone entirely.

A Sword Dao Expert of a generation had thus fallen!

...

The first update.
