Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: The Four Powerhouses

Several dozen golden figures appeared in an instant.

Leading them was a middle-aged man.

”The Heavenly Gold Country Master,” the Great Elder beside Xiao Yi furrowed his brow tightly.

Among the newcomers, besides the experts from the Golden Evil Sect, there was also the Heavenly Gold Country Master.

”Senior Swordswoman,” called out the Heavenly Gold Country Master coldly.

”Half a year ago, this child Xiao Yi killed thirty of our Heavenly Gold Guards and three elders from the Golden Evil Sect.”

”You must give an explanation for this.”

”What kind of explanation do you want?” asked the Senior Swordswoman in a chilly voice.

”Hand over Xiao Yi,” the Heavenly Gold Country Master said sternly.

”Indeed, hand over Xiao Yi,” the Ice Martial King also said in a deep voice.

”It’s truly unexpected that the formidable Sky-splitting Sword Sect would raise such a vile criminal.”

”Not only did he kill the strong ones of the Ice Martial Kingdom, but he also attacked the experts of the Heavenly Gold Country.”

”Such malicious nature, a person given to slaughter, I wonder which useless elder from your Sword Sect raised him.”

”Better hand him over to us for punishment.”

”You’re courting death.” Xiao Yi, who had been silent until now, had a fierce killing intent in his eyes.

”How my master conducts himself is not for you to judge.”

”At least, a mere Earth Extreme Middle Stage is not worth my regard.”

As his voice faded, the Blizzard Sword appeared out of nowhere in Xiao Yi’s hand.

After half a year of seclusion, his combat strength had undergone a drastic change compared to half a year ago.

His cold gaze swept over the Ice Martial King’s men.

”If the Ice Martial King wants me, if it’s for the Ice Heart Holy Fruit and corpses of the Ice Netherworld Pythons, I’m afraid you will be disappointed.”

”I have already consumed the Ice Heart Holy Fruit.”

”The corpses of three Ice Netherworld Pythons, six Blizzard Ice Whales, and eight Snowy Vajra Apes.”

”Their Demon Beast Essence Blood, inner cores, corpses, I have already refined into Elixir Pills.”

”Oh, I forgot to tell you, I’m an Alchemist.”

”Your Ice Extreme Pill cannot be refined now.”

Xiao Yi let out a cold, mocking laugh.

”You...” the Ice Martial King’s face turned dark as water in an instant.

Xiao Yi didn’t pay him any attention, turning his gaze to the Heavenly Gold Country Master and the others.

”As for you, Blood River is from the Golden Evil Sect, isn’t he?”

”He was my enemy. If you seek to avenge him, then you are also my enemy.”

”Since you claim I am cruel and murderous, I don’t mind adding a few more corpses under my sword.”

As his voice fell, Xiao Yi’s eyes blazed with an intense will to fight.

”You are insolent,” the Heavenly Gold Country Master shouted coldly, ready to make a move.

”Overestimating your own abilities,” barked the Ice Martial King angrily, ”Since all those treasures have been consumed by you, then your life shall pay for them.”

The two Kings were about to act.

Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh, ”Bring it on.”

Just as Xiao Yi was about to make a move, an ice-cold, delicate hand grasped his wrist.

”Senior Swordswoman,” Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

The Senior Swordswoman shook her head.

The next second, her cool gaze turned to the two Kings, ”I’ve already said it.”

”If you insist on accusing me of harboring him, then so be it, I am harboring him.”

”Xiao Yi is right here. If you dare, come and take him.”

Her cool voice wasn’t particularly loud, speaking as if she were discussing the simplest matter.

The faces of the two Kings grew even darker, yet they dared not make a move.

”The Sky-splitting Sword Maiden has always been overbearing, but this does not mean everyone fears you,” spoke up two older men by the Ice Martial King’s side again.

At this moment, Xiao Yi’s brow suddenly furrowed tightly.

He had felt something was off when these two older men had spoken earlier.

Now, he realized what that sense of unease was about.

It was those four words, ’Sky-splitting Sword Maiden’.

All this time, whether it was the Flame Martial King or the Ice Martial King, the Heavenly Gold Country Master, and others in high positions, famous experts who had been renown for over a hundred years, all addressed her as ’Senior Swordswoman’.

Yet only these two older men dared to directly call her ’Sky-splitting Sword Maiden’.

And he wasn’t a ”senior.”

This proved...

Xiao Yi sensed something faintly, his face suddenly paled.

The auras of these two elders were far stronger than that of the Ice Martial King.

That terrifying aura caused Xiao Yi’s heart to tremble.

”Late Earth Extreme Realm,” Xiao Yi thought in horror.

He hadn’t been able to precisely discern the strength of the two elders.

He could only guess that their Cultivation was at the late stage of the Earth Extreme Realm, or even stronger.

No wonder the Senior Swordswoman had stopped him from taking action earlier.

”Ice Martial Sect Master, Mystic Ice Sect Master, thank you for your efforts,” the Ice Martial King suddenly gave a slight bow to the two elders.

Ice Martial Sect Master, Mystic Ice Sect Master?

Xiao Yi frowned.

The Ice Martial Sect and the Mystic Ice Saint Sect were the two great Martial Arts Holy Lands of the Ice Martial Kingdom.

The Ice Martial Sect was slightly more famous and had many branches in the Ice Martial Kingdom.

The Ice Martial Sect in the Extreme Cold Land was one of the Sect’s branches under its banner.

On the other hand, the Mystic Ice Saint Sect was rumored to have been founded by the first ruler of the Ice Martial Kingdom countless years ago.

Its heritage spanned years even longer than those of the Ice Martial Kingdom, predating the Ice Martial Sect.

Xiao Yi didn’t have much detailed knowledge about these two great Martial Arts Holy Lands.

But Xiao Yi remembered that on a certain document in the Demon Hunting Hall, it was mentioned that the leaders of these two powers had not changed for hundreds of years.

If he was not mistaken, the Ice Martial Sect Master and the Mystic Ice Sect Master were contemporaries of the Senior Swordswoman.

On the other side, the Heavenly Gold Country Master was also flanked by two elders.

The Heavenly Gold Country Master gave a slight bow to them and said, ”Senior elders, thank you for your efforts.”

”Our Heavenly Gold Country’s reputation will not allow a junior to offend us.”

”Rest assured, Country Master,” the two elders nodded.

”Sky-splitting Sword Maiden, let’s settle the grudges of the past today,” the two elders beside the Heavenly Gold Country Master took a step forward, suddenly erupting with a formidable presence.

”Golden Evil Sect Master, Golden Wind Sect Master,” the Senior Swordswoman’s eyes were full of disdain.

The Golden Evil Sect and the Golden Wind Sect were the two great Martial Arts Holy Lands of the Heavenly Gold Country.

However, Xiao Yi was not well-informed about these two Sects.

”Sky-splitting Sword Maiden, for the grievance of grievously injuring my Master back then, today we will settle the score with you,” the Golden Evil Sect Master said coldly.

”Oh?” The Senior Swordswoman’s beautiful eyes turned frosty. ”That old geezer who was severely injured and fled, is he still not dead yet?”

”You’re seeking death, come face your demise,” the Golden Evil Sect Master and the Golden Wind Sect Master instantly made their move.

Ice Martial Sect Master and Mystic Ice Sect Master also moved at the same time.

Four great experts attacked together.

The Senior Swordswoman, who had been keeping her hands behind her back, slightly stirred them.

”Kid, let me borrow your Blizzard Sword for a moment,” the Senior Swordswoman said with a slight smile, taking the Blizzard Sword from Xiao Yi’s hand.

With a clang, the earth-shattering sound of the sword echoed across the entire plaza.

Endless wind and snow descended from the sky.

In an instant, a range of hundreds of miles was covered in a layer of Cold Frost.

”So powerful,” Xiao Yi’s pupils shrank, ”This is the true power of the Blizzard Sword.”

Without Cultivation at the Late Stage of the Infinite Realm or higher, it’s impossible to wield the full power of a top-grade Elemental Artifact.

The Golden Evil Sect Master and the other three experts, formerly brimming with aggression.

Now, they were instantly turned into ice blocks under the Cold Frost, unable to move.

And the chill of the Cold Frost continued to intensify.

In an instant, the entire plaza was enveloped by an overwhelming coldness.

Other experts within the plaza immediately changed their expressions drastically.

”Sky-splitting Sword Maiden, what are you trying to do?” dozens of Extreme Realm Experts within the arena shouted.

”Nothing much,” the Senior Swordswoman said with a cold smile.

”I just wanted to ask if, having not come out for a stroll in a few hundred years,”

”Has the time come when every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks they can trample over me?”

From beginning to end, her expression remained as cool as ever. Even as four great experts surrounded and attacked her, there was no change in her demeanor.

Only at this moment did a cold killing intent emerge in her eyes.
