Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 612: Chapter 612: The Strongest Martial Technique

Whoosh...

When the four-colored flames fully engulfed Xiao Yi’s body, his figure suddenly vanished from its original spot.

”So fast,” Shangguan Xiyue’s face paled in surprise as she hurriedly retreated.

She was a Martial Artist who cultivated the Wind Dao, and her speed was extremely fast.

But Xiao Yi’s speed was even faster, much faster.

Xiao Yi’s figure had turned into a streak of fiery light.

The flames on his body roared continuously.

These were the flames exploding and the speed produced in that instant far surpassed Shangguan Xiyue.

Boom...

With a thunderous roar, Xiao Yi’s fist struck straight at Shangguan Xiyue’s abdomen.

Shangguan Xiyue only felt a severe pain in her body and before she could react, she was blasted away.

”Pugh.” After stabilizing her stance, Shangguan Xiyue’s face was already ashen, and she spat out a mouthful of bloody sputum.

She felt as if she had been standing atop a volcano’s mouth a moment ago.

The eruption of the volcano had hit her all at once, causing her to be seriously injured.

In front of her, Xiao Yi stood indifferently, ”Miss Xiyue’s eyes, although they can see through all of Yi’s movements,”

”But if you’re not nearly as fast as me, what use is there in dodging?”

Shangguan Xiyue’s complexion changed, ”Extreme Realm Sixth Layer Battle Power, how is this possible, what Secret Technique have you used?”

”Secret Technique?” Xiao Yi gave a detached smile.

Throughout the battle, the Heavenly Talents of various Main Halls, including Bing Baifu and Shangguan Xiyue, had used Secret Techniques.

It was because of these Secret Techniques that they had such extraordinary combat power.

The inheritances of Secret Techniques from the Demon Hunting Hall were indeed powerful.

In fact, Xiao Yi had never used any Secret Techniques.

Even now, with the four-colored flames increasing his combat power.

Strictly speaking, this was just his manipulation of the four strongest flames in the world through the Ancient Fire Control Technique to enhance his power.

That was merely a special application of his control over the flames.

As for the Flame Martial Main Hall, they also had many powerful Secret Techniques, in no way inferior to those of the other Main Halls.

But Xiao Yi had not cultivated any of them.

Secret Techniques need to be absolutely compatible with one’s own attribute to unleash their full power.

Choosing a Secret Technique is a time-consuming process, complicated as well.

Because no Secret Technique is perfect and unlikely to be 100% compatible with the Martial Arts one is cultivating.

Therefore, often when selecting a Secret Technique, one needs to cultivate it a little first.

Then sift through them one by one, choosing the one that most closely matches oneself, before officially starting cultivation.

Xiao Yi didn’t have the time for such slow selection.

This process often took ’years’ to count, and cultivation in itself was a lengthy affair.

Moreover, Xiao Yi was convinced that he would not be able to make the right choice.

Among Fire Attribute Secret Techniques, those compatible with the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame were not compatible with the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire and other flames.

Those compatible with the Earth Vein Golden Fire did not match up with the Star Fire and other flames.

In short, none would be completely compatible with all four types of flames.

If one tried to use a ’one-size-fits-all’ Secret Technique that could enhance any flame, it would be too commonplace.

And it would not be able to bear the might of his four powerful flames.

Even if it could bear them, the enhancement wouldn’t be very strong.

On the other hand, characters like Shangguan Xiyue, Bing Baifu, and other Heavenly Talents from various Kingdoms had been nurtured by these powerful forces since childhood, cultivating Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts most compatible with themselves.

They were also able to select the Secret Techniques that best suited them early on.

So, the compatibility of these Secret Techniques with their own abilities was quite high.

This was also a major reason why all the Heavenly Talents Xiao Yi met upon arriving at the East Sea Coast had such astounding combat power.

Of course, Xiao Yi didn’t really care and was even too lazy to look for a Fire Attribute Secret Technique.

Because he knew that in the future he would be able to find a fifth, sixth, or even more of the world’s powerful flames.

Only his current Fire Control Technique was the most suitable ’Secret Technique’ for himself.

These thoughts flashed through Xiao Yi’s mind.

”Heh,” Xiao Yi couldn’t help but give a faint smile, filled with anticipation for the powerful flames he would seek in the future.

”What are you laughing at?” Shangguan Xiyue asked with an icy face.

Xiao Yi’s punch just now had left her in a rather sorry state.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her ashen face proved she had sustained no light injuries.

”It’s nothing,” Xiao Yi shook his head and said nonchalantly, ”just some boring matters.”

”Boring matters?” Shangguan Xiyue’s expression turned even colder.

”So in the eyes of Young Master Yi Xiao, battling us, the Heavenly Talents, is that dull?”

Xiao Yi couldn’t be bothered to explain and said indifferently, ”Miss Xiyue, you’ve lost.”

”Will you step down from the Martial Arts Arena yourself, or should I blast you off?”

”You should know, flames are heartless. Miss Xiyue’s stunning appearance, if accidentally ruined by me, would not be too pleasant.”

”You...” Shangguan Xiyue’s face changed color.

Just then.

The successors of the Heavenly Gold Main Hall and the other two main halls, who had already been defeated, along with two others who had not made a move until now,

Five people, suddenly launched a joint attack.

”Shangguan Xiyue, Bing Baifu, let’s join forces,” bellowed the successor of the Heavenly Gold Main Hall.

”Join forces?” Shangguan Xiyue frowned.

Bing Baifu did the same.

”Forget it,” Shangguan Xiyue shook her head, ”if I’ve lost, then I’ve lost...”

”Shangguan Xiyue, do you want Yi Xiao to become your eternal Heart Demon?” the successor of the Heavenly Gold Hall Master coldly interjected.

”In this competition, he took on seven and defeated us successively.”

”Especially you, Bing Baifu.”

The successor of the Heavenly Gold Main Hall turned his gaze to Bing Baifu and said coldly, ”You lost even more miserably.”

”If we cannot defeat him, he will become the eternal Heart Demon obstacle on our Martial Arts Dao.”

Shangguan Xiyue and Bing Baifu’s expressions changed drastically in an instant.

”Young Master Yi Xiao, I apologize.” Shangguan Xiyue suddenly launched an Annihilation Wind Palm.

Xiao Yi stepped back, avoiding it with astonishing speed.

Shangguan Xiyue and the six others had already joined forces.

”I was expecting you to join forces,” Xiao Yi said with a light smile.

”There’s no need for pointless battles,” said Bing Baifu solemnly to Xiao Yi, ”let’s decide the outcome with one move.”

”Agreed,” Xiao Yi nodded.

Bing Baifu glanced at the others beside him.

His companions nodded subtly, understanding his intention.

The next second, an overwhelming momentum suddenly gathered around the seven.

”Yi Xiao, the only one who will lose is you,” the successor of the Heavenly Gold Main Hall sneered.

”I admit your strength is truly formidable; one-on-one, none of us are your match.”

”Under normal circumstances, the title of the strongest Heavenly Talent of the Demon Hunting Hall would surely be yours.”

”Unfortunately, you’re far too arrogant. To presume you alone can defeat the seven of us is laughable.”

The words of the successor of the Heavenly Gold Main Hall had barely faded.

The momentum built up around the seven had reached its extreme.

Seven terrifying powers made the barriers around the Martial Arts Arena tremble incessantly.

”Heavenly Rank Advanced Martial Technique?” Xiao Yi scoffed.

As successors of the 15 main halls, having Heavenly Rank Advanced Martial Techniques was not surprising to Xiao Yi.

”On the verge of death and still so defiant, die,” the Heavenly Gold Hall Master coldly ordered.

Seven ferocious attacks surged forward.

A fearsome might swept across the entire Martial Arts Arena.

”Heh,” Xiao Yi raised his hand nonchalantly and with a sudden sweep, he cried out, ”Skyfire Meteor.”

Countless Meteor Flames fell from the sky.

Their might, akin to the apocalypse, struck fear into the observers.

Above, in the spectator’s seating, the 15 Hall Masters’ countenances drastically shifted, ”Skyfire Meteor? How is that possible? Hasn’t it been lost...”

”Hehe,” a Hall Master next to them rarely showed a proud smile.

”I also forgot to tell you, more than half a year ago, Yi Xiao already received the inheritance of the Skyfire Saint.”

”He has long mastered this Heavenly Rank Peak Martial Technique, the Skyfire Meteor.”

...

The second update.
