Soul Emperor Martial God

Boom... a loud explosion in the sky.

As the sound of the explosion faded, a sword shimmering with starlight had already pierced through the elder's palm.

On the other side, the elder fighting Qing Lin also had several ferocious blood marks cut across his chest.

"Impressive little thieves." The two elders no longer showed the contempt they had earlier.

"However, trying to escape from us is still a long shot."

As the words fell, two overwhelming auras erupted instantly.

Xiao Yi's sword was deflected and then blasted a hundred meters away.

Qing Lin's fist was immediately recoiled and was sent flying a hundred meters.

Smack... smack... the two bodies collided together.

"Puff... puff..."

Both of them simultaneously spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, looking extremely grim.

"So strong."

"Got any plans?" Qing Lin asked in a deep voice.

"Can you hold them off for a while?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Like last time at the Black Poison Villa?" Qing Lin inquired.

Xiao Yi nodded.

"No way." Qing Lin shook his head, "These two old guys are stronger than the Vice Manor Master, I can't hold them off."

"Besides, I don't want to see you unleash your heart demon again; it's too terrifying."

What Qing Lin found terrifying wasn't Xiao Yi's murderous intent after his heart demon manifested, or even Xiao Yi's strength.

It was the madness where Xiao Yi nearly lost his sanity after the heart demon took over.

Rather than that, he'd rather fight to the death.

"Then let's fight first, and escape as soon as we can," Xiao Yi said solemnly.

Facing two powerful elders with Sixth Layer Saint King Realm cultivation, the two had no confidence.

Whoosh... whoosh... the two figures flashed, and the battle erupted again.

Boom... boom... roar... roar...

The sounds of battle in the sky were incessant.

The rampage of primordial power and eruption of aura filled the entire sky.

The strength of the two elders was almost completely overwhelming Xiao Yi and Qing Lin.

However, defeating Xiao Yi and Qing Lin wasn't that simple either.

"Damn it." Xiao Yi swung a sword, forcibly blocking an elder's palm attack.

After the elder's strength fully erupted, he was utterly disadvantaged, even though the starlight descended and the domain condensed, he could only barely maintain a stalemate.

The martial artist strength in the Cloud River Region wasn't very strong.

These two elders with Sixth Layer Saint King Realm cultivation were likely among the few powerful figures in the Cloud River Region.

Trying to defeat these two, with just Xiao Yi and Qing Lin's current cultivation strength, was almost impossible.

Of course, it's also due to this that the conditions offered by Heavenly King Mountain, one of the overlord forces in the Black Cloud Region, attracted strong contenders.

After all, compared to the Cloud River Region, Heavenly King Mountain is teeming with strong contenders.

"Can't drag this out any longer." Xiao Yi hardened his heart, his eyes instantly turning bloodthirsty red.

The originally quietly standing blood pill within him suddenly erupted.

"Cold Ice Three Palm, Second Palm, Overwhelm." Xiao Yi shouted in a low voice.

Overwhelming killing intent suddenly spread across the sky.

An infinite crimson manifested instantly, tightly binding the elder in front.

During this period, Xiao Yi had also researched the blood pill inside him.

This blood pill was directly linked to his body's qi-blood, making it almost impossible to completely remove.

But at the same time, due to this connection, he could control this blood pill.

The countless blood qi within the blood pill could be immediately harnessed by him.

Previously, utilizing the Cold Ice Three Palm's Second Palm required killing and gathering a large amount of blood qi.

Now, with the blood pill's eruption, the Cold Ice Three Palm's Second Palm could be instantly executed.

"Hmm?" The elder in front changed his expression suddenly, "Such terrifying killing intent, such bizarre means."

The elder clearly felt the qi-blood inside him churning, and the endless killing intent was oppressing him painfully.

"Impressive. This power is enough to instantly kill a Fifth Layer Saint King Realm."

"However, I am at the Sixth Layer Peak of the Saint King Realm, with one foot already entering the Late Stage."

"Trying to deal with me with this is far from enough."

The elder smirked disdainfully, his body trembled, forcefully shaking off the bindings of the infinite blood qi.

"Puff." Xiao Yi instantly spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

The blood pill was linked to his qi-blood, and much of the blood qi within the blood pill was dispersed, naturally causing him backlash.

"Looks like killing you will take a bit more effort," Xiao Yi wiped the blood from his mouth, gripping his sword tightly.

With his current strength alone, he indeed couldn't handle a Sixth Layer Saint King Realm.

But that didn't mean he couldn't deal with him if he utilized all his means.

However, it would take some time.

Boom... boom... The battle high in the sky resumed explosively as usual.

Xiao Yi and Qing Lin couldn't overcome the two elders, even falling completely behind.

But the two elders couldn't kill Xiao Yi and Qing Lin in a short time either.

"Star Illusion Sword Formation, release." Xiao Yi shouted.

Thousands of starlights descended once more.

The starlight formed a sword array and instantly trapped the elder in front.

Boom... the elder struck out with a palm, causing the sword array to shake incessantly, on the brink of collapse.

"Your sword skills are strong, but your cultivation is too weak." The elder sneered.

"These starlights can't withstand my second palm."

As the words fell, the elder struck another palm.

With a boom, the Star Illusion Sword Formation scattered.

"Star Illusion Sword Formation, release." Xiao Yi shouted again.

The Star Illusion Sword Formation trapped the elder once again.

The elder shook his head, "Kid, for your age to make me spend so much time without killing you, it's quite remarkable."

"But, you will still die."

"Not in less than an hour, you'll perish under our palms."

"Then let's see who dies first." Xiao Yi sneered, swinging his sword again.

Boom... boom...

Two explosive sounds, as the elder struck twice, the Star Illusion Sword Formation collapsed instantly.

"Star Illusion Sword Formation, release." Xiao Yi used the same tactic.

The elder shook his head, "Let's see how many times you can unleash this sword formation."

Boom... boom...

The elder struck twice again, breaking the Star Illusion Sword Formation.

Before he could attack Xiao Yi again, the sword array reappeared, trapping him once more.

The standoff between Xiao Yi and the elder could only continue like this.

An hour passed by in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yi's face had already turned pale.

Constantly deploying the Star Illusion Sword Formation consumed a great deal of his primordial power.

However, the elder's aura had also decreased significantly.

He seemed to break Xiao Yi's sword formation easily each time, but in reality, he was exerting full effort.

Such prolonged and continuous full-strength breaking of formations naturally consumed a lot of his primordial power.

"Kid, not much primordial power left, huh?" The elder sneered, "Now, it's time for you to die."

Whoosh... the elder attacked instantaneously.

Xiao Yi's face turned pale, swinging a sword.

Boom... the elder's palm wind carried immense power and, with a single strike, sent flying the sword in Xiao Yi's hand.

"Can't even hold your sword anymore?" The elder sneered, aiming a palm at Xiao Yi's chest.

"This palm is enough to take your life."

Xiao Yi's pupils contracted, watching the incoming palm, his face filled with panic.

"Die." The elder sneered, his aged and domineering hand about to strike Xiao Yi's chest.

Just at this moment, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth.

"Hmm?" The elder furrowed his brow, an ominous feeling now rising within him.

But before he realized it.

A cold white sword light appeared out of nowhere and instantly pierced through his chest.

"I told you, you would die first." Xiao Yi sneered.

"Mid-grade Holy Artifact..." The elder's eyes widened.
