Soul Emperor Martial God

Dozens of Heavenly Talents clashed instantly with the Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team.

No, look closer, among the dozens of Heavenly Talents, one person remained unmoved.

It was Xiao Yi.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was in deep thought.

As for this battle, he wasn't particularly worried.

On the side of the Heavenly Talents, only a mere few dozen seemed to be present, with a cultivation of just the Heavenly Extreme Sixth Layer.

While on the side of the Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team, nearly seven hundred strong, all uniformly at the Heavenly Extreme Seventh Layer, each with formidable combat power.

Yet in Xiao Yi's view, this battle had virtually no suspense.

What he was contemplating were these exam tasks.

His task was to annihilate the Floral Spirit Sect, while Tong Ye and others had tasks related to the Floral Spirit Sect.

Qin Yi's task was to wipe out the Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team.

Judging the overall strength of the Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team, it was clearly superior to the Floral Spirit Sect.

And just before the two sides clashed, all the participating Heavenly Talents managed to arrive on time.

This proves that the exam tasks for each Heavenly Talent were within a tolerable range, no more than a scope of ten to twenty thousand miles at most.

This intentional arrangement by the Black Cloud Academy, the result seems obvious.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yi murmured to himself, a look of sudden clarity on his face.

At that moment, a surging aura attacked him directly, interrupting his thoughts.

Xiao Yi reacted swiftly, his Blizzard Sword appearing out of nowhere, followed by a swift slash.

Clang...

A massive fist was coming at him.

The owner of the fist was none other than the captain of the Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team, Sky Tiger.

The Blizzard Sword collided with Sky Tiger's fist, producing a chiming sound.

Sky Tiger was unharmed, while Xiao Yi was shocked back several steps by the massive impact of the fist.

"Such strength." Xiao Yi was slightly surprised, but the next second his eyes turned cold.

"You want to kill me."

Xiao Yi glared coldly at Sky Tiger, clearly sensing deadly intent in Sky Tiger's eyes.

"Impressive." Sky Tiger squinted his eyes, staring directly at Xiao Yi.

"Among these dozens of Heavenly Talents, only a few of you give me a sense of pressure."

"You are one of them."

Being able to make Sky Tiger, a martial artist of at least the Third Layer of the Saint Realm, utter the word 'pressure'.

For any ordinary Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist, this would be enough to instill pride.

"Though I'm not sure where so many of you Heavenly Talents have emerged from."

"But, in the Black Cloud Region, my Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team has never feared anyone."

"I am giving you only one opportunity, if you are willing right now, my Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team can offer you a place."

"Even the position of deputy captain."

Sky Tiger stood with hands behind his back, eyes filled with arrogance and disdain for everything.

Amidst the constant sounds of battle, with intense flashes of light wreaking havoc all around.

Such fierce fighting seemed invisible to Sky Tiger.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "No need."

"Why?" Sky Tiger asked with great interest.

"Because there's no need." Xiao Yi's voice was very indifferent.

"Although I'm not familiar with the reputation of your Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team, my instincts tell me you're not a good person."

"Is it that simple?" Sky Tiger asked once more.

"That's not a reason."

"The position of deputy captain of my Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team is enough to tempt many."

"Then there's one more thing." Xiao Yi said softly.

"What is it?" Sky Tiger asked.

"Your killing intent." Xiao Yi replied.

"Killing intent?" Sky Tiger furrowed his brows slightly.

Xiao Yi nodded, "From the moment you showed killing intent towards me, you were already a dead man."

"So, is it necessary?"

You want to kill me, so I'll kill you, a simple logic.

"You're courting death." Sky Tiger's killing intent surged in an instant.

A surging aura erupted from him.

A fierce wind from his fist attacked Xiao Yi directly.

Xiao Yi sneered, slashing with his Blizzard Sword, starlight surging.

Bang...

This time, the collision between sword and fist resulted in an explosive roar.

Under the crushing force of the starlight, Sky Tiger's fist instantly became bloodied.

Xiao Yi, however, remained unmoved.

"Star Illusion Sword Formation, rise."

Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

Rays of starlight descended from the sky.

Although it was not night, the starlight was dim, and its power was significantly weaker.

But it was enough to deal with ordinary martial artists.

Thousands of Starlight Sword Qi rampaged through the area hundreds of meters away.

The Sword Qi, swift as starlight.

Within a single breath, the starlight vanished.

But at the same time, the sky-breaking arrows that had been shooting from hundreds of meters away also disappeared instantly.

The Heavenly Talents were initially stunned, then startled.

Hundreds of meters away, the martial artists with Bow Martial Souls from the Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team were lifeless, a glaring bloodstain on their throats.

"Hmm? A Sword Dao Practitioner?"

"Such precise swordsmanship, such swift Sword Qi."

The Heavenly Talents turned their gaze to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi paid no attention, fixing his gaze on Sky Tiger.

Sky Tiger's expression turned angry and icy cold.

He hadn't expected that in just one exchange, caught off guard, hundreds of his subordinates would perish.

Cultivating a group of uniformly Bow Martial Soul martial artists was no easy feat.

They were among the elite of the Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team.

"You all will die today." Sky Tiger gritted his teeth, or rather, bared them.

His bared teeth resembled more a fierce demon beast's roar before a rampage.

Roar...

Indeed, a beast howl erupted from Sky Tiger's body.

A massive Martial Soul Illusion quickly formed behind him.

Xiao Yi glanced at the Martial Soul Illusion, his face changed instantly, "Heavenly Nether Demon Tiger?"

The Heavenly Nether Demon Tiger, famously notorious within the Central Region Demon Hunting Hall.

With a violent and bloodthirsty temperament, it was a dominant demon beast even in some ancient Demon Beast Forests.

Often, in a rage, it would trigger a massive Beast Tide.

Its strength, at the peak of the Saint King Realm, was just a step away from reaching a level equivalent to a Martial Arts Great Power among human martial artists.

Naturally, the only ones who could handle it were Martial Arts Great Powers.

As a Martial Soul, it was ranked purple.

Compared to other beast-type purple Martial Souls, the Heavenly Nether Demon Tiger's Martial Soul had a more startling explosive power.

The aura of the Sky Tiger before Xiao Yi was continuously rising.

Previously, Xiao Yi had determined that this battle would hold no suspense.

After all, up till now, there had been no casualties among the Heavenly Talents, while the martial artists of the Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team had suffered continuous losses.

If there was true suspense, it would be this Sky Tiger.

When Sky Tiger's rising aura halted, an astonishing pressure enveloped the entire scene.

Even Xiao Yi, along with the other Heavenly Talents, wore grim expressions.

Just the pressure alone hindered their breathing and caused their Qi-Blood to churn.

"At least reached the Seventh Layer of Saint Realm." Xiao Yi's face darkened as still water.

"Retreat quickly." Xiao Yi called out softly.

The Heavenly Talents, even without Xiao Yi's warning, retreated instantly.

Each of these Heavenly Talents wielded formidable combat strength and were already wary of Sky Tiger's might.

However, even in anticipation, the absolute strength disparity rendered evasion too difficult.

Beneath the massive illusion of the Heavenly Nether Demon Tiger, Sky Tiger launched a fist strike.

The enormous beast claw struck heavily.

Tong Ye, Qin Yi, and others were blasted away in one strike, spitting blood.

"So powerful."

Bang... The massive beast claw struck again.

Several Heavenly Talents, unable to dodge, were sent flying hundreds of meters.

By the time they hit the ground, they were severely injured, losing all combat ability.

"I said, today, you all must die." Sky Tiger's bloodthirsty words roared from his mouth.

Xiao Yi's eyes turned cold, not retreating but advancing instead.

With a powerful punch, he struck out.

"Boundary Shattering Fist."
