Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691: Victory in an Instant

Whizz... Whizz...

Two figures simultaneously leaped from the spectator stands and landed within the Martial Arts Arena.

It was Xiao Yi and Shui Ninghan.

The surrounding spectator stands erupted into exclamations and discussions, reaching a peak once more.

It was even more intense than when Xiao Yi fought Ran Qi earlier.

Compared to Ran Qi, Shui Ninghan was obviously stronger.

Moreover, Shui Ninghan was always low-key, cloaked in a veil of mystery in the eyes of ordinary people or most martial artists.

Thus, she was even more talked about.

Additionally, she held the title of first among the Eighteen Mansions’s Talents, coupled with her supreme demeanor and stunning beauty, making her unquestionably more dazzling than almost all contemporary monsters.

Purple Flame Yi Xiao, needless to say.

The feats he accomplished over the past few years, no, merely these few months, have already shocked the Central Region.

”This battle might be one in a century.”

”Such two monsters facing off, tsk tsk, interesting, interesting.”

Almost all martial artists around the spectator stands showed faces of extreme anticipation.

For them, regardless of who wins between the two, the news would be sensational.

Shui Ninghan, ranking first among the Eighteen Mansions’s Talents, has never been defeated for many years.

Purple Flame Yi Xiao has been the most renowned figure in the Central Region over these months.

Within the Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi looked at Shui Ninghan.

Shui Ninghan also looked at Xiao Yi, smiling faintly, ”Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, will you attack first or shall I?”

Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, ”Aren’t you setting a few limits on my moves?”

Shui Ninghan frowned slightly, ”Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao is joking. With your reputation, I dare not be so presumptuous.”

”However.” Shui Ninghan smiled again, ”This battle’s outcome might not be easily predicted.”

Shui Ninghan smiled, but her tone was filled with immense confidence.

Simply put, she might not easily defeat Yi Xiao.

But, it’s merely that she can’t easily win, not that she can’t win at all.

”Are you ready to go all out?” Xiao Yi asked indifferently.

”I’m ready.” Shui Ninghan nodded.

Xiao Yi then looked at the Sword Palace judge.

”Hmm.” The Sword Palace judge nodded, and declared loudly, ”Begin.”

After saying this, the Sword Palace judge reacted quickly, retreating instantly.

While retreating, he unintentionally revealed a helpless expression.

When hosting battles of other talents, he didn’t need to do this at all.

But when hosting Yi Xiao, Ran Qi, Ye Liu, Shui Ninghan, and others’ battles, he could only retreat hastily.

At this time.

Boom...

Within the Martial Arts Arena, suddenly a loud explosion.

The Sword Palace judge swiftly retreated to the edge of the Martial Arts Arena.

Just wanting to see more clearly the battle of these two supreme monsters, he found only Yi Xiao remained within the Martial Arts Arena.

”Hmm?” The Sword Palace judge was taken aback, paused for a moment, ”Where is Young Master Shui Ninghan?”

Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, looking at the Sword Palace judge on the edge of the Martial Arts Arena, ”You can return and announce the result now.”

”Uh, this...” The Sword Palace judge finally noticed where Young Master Shui Ninghan was.

At this moment, Shui Ninghan’s face was full of anger and frustration; her figure, barely outside the Martial Arts Arena range.

Although the Martial Arts Arena was destroyed.

But she was out of this range, which meant being blasted off the Martial Arts Arena; the victory and defeat were decided.

”This... this... how is it possible...” Around the spectator stands, tens of thousands of martial artists seemed unable to react.

”Just in an instant, the result was decided?”

”With just one punch, Shui Ninghan was defeated?”

”This... this...”

Within the Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi stared at Shui Ninghan outside the Martial Arts Arena, ”I reminded Miss Shui, to be ready to go all out.”

”But, Miss Shui seemed not to take my reminder seriously.”

”You...” Shui Ninghan, for the first time, showed an annoyed expression.

”Good, very good.”

”Purple Flame Yi Xiao lives up to his reputation indeed.”

”In this battle, I lost.”

With that, Shui Ninghan gritted her teeth, her figure flashed, and she left, returning to the spectator stands.

The Sword Palace judge then reacted and loudly announced, ”The winner of this battle is Yi Xiao.”

Whizz...

Xiao Yi flashed and also returned to the spectator stands.

Ran Qi stared at him with a strange expression, ”You are indeed a monster, and even more so than Shui Ninghan.”

Guu Lianxing widened her eyes, ”Sister Shui actually lost?”

”Our first-ranking talent of the Eighteen Mansions lost with one punch?”

Guu Lianxing’s tone was filled with disbelief.

But the next moment, Guu Lianxing frowned, ”Yet, Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, aren’t your actions a dishonorable victory?”

”Suddenly attacking with full strength and catching Sister Shui off guard.”

”If Sister Shui had been prepared, the result might not have been...”

”No.” Ye Liu interrupted, ”Brother Yi defeating Shui Ninghan in one punch proves his strength has already far surpassed Shui Ninghan.”

”In this battle, even if Shui Ninghan was prepared, there would be no change.”

”At most, Shui Ninghan might have had the chance to throw a few more moves.”

”But.” Guu Lianxing said anxiously, ”With Sister Shui’s strength, in the past, even the strongest talents in each palace of the Eight Palaces were not her match. This time, perhaps it was just unexpected...”

Xiao Yi interrupted indifferently, ”Martial artist battles are not to be taken lightly.”

”In martial artist confrontations, life and death clashes are frequent, and at worst result in injury.”

”Do you know, if I had wanted her life just now, that moment was enough for her to perish.”

”This...” Guu Lianxing’s tone was stifled.

”Additionally.” Xiao Yi said indifferently, ”To correct you, I belong to the Demon Hunting Hall, Flame Hall, Medicine Venerate Hall, Warriors of Three Halls.”

After speaking, Xiao Yi sat down indifferently.

Beside him, Ye Liu quickly said, ”Brother Yi, my wife offended you earlier; please don’t take it to heart.”

Ye Liu cupped his hands.

Xiao Yi nodded, ”It’s a small matter.”

He naturally understood Guu Lianxing’s character.

As a martial artist of the Eighteen Mansions, Guu Lianxing only hoped for the talents of the Eighteen Mansions to win.

It’s only human nature.

Besides, Xiao Yi had just blasted Shui Ninghan out of the Martial Arts Arena with one punch, deciding the victory instantly.

Really, he did it to avoid any unnecessary battles.

From the beginning, his strength far exceeded the so-called supreme monsters.

The targets he set for himself and the benchmarks he measured against were always those of the renowned older generation of strongmen.

The reason he spent a lot of time fighting Ran Qi.

Was because he made a pact with Ran Qi back then.

Furthermore, he wanted to see how far Ran Qi had grown over the years, so it would be better to compare the growth speed of other supreme monsters.

To put it frankly, with his current strength, if he unleashed all his power, even a Supreme 9998 Dao expert like Poison Robe could be easily killed.

His strength has long been on par with Supreme 9999 Dao experts like Ao Donglou and Long Xiao.

Naturally, to defeat Shui Ninghan, one punch was enough; there’s no need to exert much effort.

Within the Martial Arts Arena, a new round of battles began.

”Calculating the time, it should be about half a day before all victories and defeats are thoroughly decided.” Xiao Yi thought secretly.

...

Fifth update. (Boom)
