Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi's position was on the side of the demon beasts of the Mysterious Profundity Realm.

He was not with the disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

Under the deliberate actions of the human martial artists, the battlefield had long been segmented into pieces.

The demon beasts did not understand military formations and strategies, and their varied levels of strength were clearly separated.

This was also one of the reasons for their high casualties.

Everyone had thought that victory was imminent in this Beast Tide.

But, the appearance of the Fire Rock Giant Beast and Yin Wind Bat Demon once again made all the human martial artists' hearts skip a beat.

These two demon beasts, with their nine-layered power within the Mystic Breakthrough Realm, were the strongest beast threats that had appeared in this Beast Tide.

"Do not panic, everyone," the Third Elder repelled his opponent with a palm strike and then loudly exclaimed.

"Fourth Elder, go assist our disciples, I will handle things here."

"Understood." The Fourth Elder, also known as the Sword Hall Elder, vigorously nodded.

His figure then flashed as he quickly made his way toward the three hundred disciples.

These disciples were the finest of the next generation of the Sword Sect and could not afford any mishaps.

Moreover, his disciple, Guu Changkong, was also there.

"You beasts, your opponent is me."

The Sword Hall Elder's original opponents were two demon beasts with the strength of the Mystic Breakthrough Eighth Layer.

Just as they were about to pursue the Sword Hall Elder, they were intercepted by the Third Elder.

The Third Elder himself was also restraining two demon beasts of the Mystic Breakthrough Eighth Layer.

Now, he was singlehandedly facing off against four beasts of the Mystic Breakthrough Eighth Layer and was not at a disadvantage.

His strength was clearly extraordinary.

As a practitioner of the Fire Dao, he was known for his explosive power and excelled in area-of-effect combat.

Stopping several Mystic Breakthrough Eighth Layer demon beasts was not a big problem for him.

And the Sword Hall Elder, being a Sword Dao practitioner, was the most skilled in combat.

He particularly excelled in one-on-one fights.

It was most fitting for him to stop the Fire Rock Giant Beast and the Yin Wind Bat Demon.

...

Under the lead of the Fire Rock Giant Beast and the Yin Wind Bat Demon, a hundred thousand demon beasts of the Half-step Breaking Profound strength rampaged in.

Three hundred disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, captains of various Demon Hunting Teams, and numerous family martial artists.

In total, there were several thousand of them.

Besides the Mystic Breakthrough Realm martial artists and Xiao Yi, they were the strongest force.

At this moment, they were completely surrounded.

If either the Fire Rock Giant Beast or the Yin Wind Bat Demon made a move, their deaths were certain.

"You beasts, come and take your deaths," the Sword Hall Elder arrived just in time.

With one man and one sword, he effortlessly intercepted them.

The morale of the warriors immediately soared.

They engaged in fierce battle with the hundred thousand Half-step Breaking Profound demon beasts that had just entered the battlefield.

However, the situation was not as good as imagined.

Apart from the ten chief Inner Sect disciples and a few other stronger Inner Sect disciples,

the other warriors were no match for the large number of Half-step Breaking Profound demon beasts.

They could only struggle miserably and were incapable of slaying them.

At the same time, the Sword Hall Elder was also at a disadvantage.

The Fire Rock Giant Beast, with fire emanating from its body, was large and robust, excelling in head-on combat.

The Yin Wind Bat Demon, at a flap of its wings, sent out wisps of sinister black wind, disconcerting and exceedingly strange.

Together, the two beasts were too much for even the Sword Hall Elder to handle for long.

Elsewhere, the Third Elder and others had evidently noticed the situation here.

"Fourth Elder, lead the disciples in retreat, I will come to help you as soon as possible," the Third Elder shouted.

The Fourth Elder angrily said, "I'm already doing my best to stop these two beasts; how can I lead them in retreat?"

The situation grew dire once again with the entry of this batch of demon beasts.

...

On the other side, Xiao Yi also noticed the situation.

"We can't keep this up here."

"We must open a gap for them on that side, allowing them to retreat quickly."

Xiao Yi swiftly made up his mind.

With a Sea Covering Slash, he cleared the demon beasts near him.

Then his figure flashed as he headed straight toward the encircled martial artists.

His arrival brought heavy casualties to the nearly a hundred thousand Half-step Breaking Profound demon beasts.

Racing all the way, wherever he passed, the demon beasts were turned into minced flesh.

When he reached the disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, a bloody path paved with the corpses of demon beasts was forcibly opened.

"Ye Ming, take your men and retreat," Xiao Yi quickly said.

"The two demon beasts with the strength of Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer are being held off by the Sword Hall Elder."

"Leave these hundred thousand Half-step Breaking Profound demon beasts to me."

"Okay," Ye Ming nodded without hesitation.

He had just witnessed how quickly and terrifyingly Xiao Yi had slaughtered the Mysterious Profundity Realm demon beasts.

Under his lead, a group of warriors fought as they retreated.

Numerous demon beasts attempted to pursue, but all were repelled by Xiao Yi's Sea Covering Slash.

Of course, there were just too many demon beasts.

The group of warriors was still within the encirclement.

Xiao Yi's power was limited; he could only greatly reduce their pressure.

The group of warriors continued to fight and retreat, facing quite some difficulty.

Several minutes later, they gradually broke out of the encirclement.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far off, the Fire Rock Giant Beast and the Yin Wind Bat Demon, which had been fiercely battling the Sword Hall Elder, suddenly went berserk.

"Bad news, these two beasts are going mad, run!"

The Sword Hall Elder shouted loudly and immediately retreated.

The auras on the two demon beasts were rapidly intensifying.

If not mistaken, they were gathering their strength, readying a terrifying attack for release.

Even the Sword Hall Elder had to flee, not to mention Xiao Yi, Ye Ming, and the other martial artists.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

Two earth-shaking beastly roars sounded.

The Fire Rock Giant Beast suddenly opened its mouth wide, ejecting layers of scorching flames.

The Yin Wind Bat Demon shook its wings violently, and a tornado-like suction force suddenly emerged.

Powerful winds, together with the layers of high-temperature flames,

formed a terrifying Fire Dragon Tornado.

Several thousand martial artists, powerless to resist, were pulled back helplessly.

"Master, save me," Guu Changkong yelled out in panic.

Sword Hall Elders reacted, grabbing him and unleashing several sword qi with all his might.

He managed to block the fire dragon tornado for a few seconds.

"Run," the Sword Hall Elder shouted.

A crowd of Martial Artists dashed away.

The ten chiefs of the Inner Sect, possessing extraordinary strength, ran swiftly.

Sword Hall Elder kept releasing sword qi, trying to halt the fire dragon tornado.

Suddenly, Guu Changkong urgently said, "Master, my brother can't hold on much longer, save him first."

Guu Changfeng was with the Inner Sect Disciples.

Their strength wasn't as great as the Inner Sect chiefs, so naturally, they couldn't escape as quickly.

Whoosh, the Sword Hall Elder actually stopped his sword qi and vanished on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was beside Guu Changfeng.

Holding Guu Changkong in one hand and Guu Changfeng in the other, he quickly began to retreat.

"Sword Hall Elder, you..." Xiao Yi's face changed drastically.

Here, many Martial Artists had not yet escaped the encirclement.

With his own strength, had he not been covering for Lin Jin and other Martial Artists, he would have already run away.

Definitely faster than the ten chiefs of the Inner Sect.

Now that the Sword Hall Elder had fled.

The terrifying fire dragon tornado, unobstructed, surged towards the crowd of Martial Artists once again.

"Damned fool," Lin Jin and others' faces turned extremely ugly.

How could this group of Martial Artists escape alive amidst the combined attacks of the Fire Rock Giant Beast and the Yin Wind Bat Demon?

"Qin Feiyang, transform into a hawk," Xiao Yi shouted, then abruptly stepped forward a few paces.

"Lin Jin, you guys go first, whoever can escape should, I will cover the retreat."

Xiao Yi's Blood Slaughter Sword emerged, and over three thousand zhang of True Qi surged out from his body.

He didn't even have time to form a True Qi Vortex in mid-air before it immediately turned into the sound of the Sea Covering Slash.

Boom... boom... boom...

The fire dragon tornado was hindered for two seconds.

Qin Feiyang transformed and carried Lin Jin, Tie Niu, Liu Yanran, and several other nearby Inner Sect Disciples quickly out of the encirclement.

The other Inner Sect Disciples also used the protective artifacts given by the elders of the Sword Sect.

One by one, they didn't hesitate to use them, their strength greatly increased, and they escaped the encirclement.

"Huff... huff..." Xiao Yi was sweating profusely.

Activating all his True Qi in an instant was something he could do, but that didn't mean it was easy.

He didn't believe for a moment that he could defeat the two Overlord Level Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer demon beasts.

He was just stalling for a few seconds.

The next second, feeling that his True Qi was almost exhausted, he also immediately retreated.

Clearly, the power of the Sea Covering Slash was immense.

Although the Fire Rock Giant Beast and the Yin Wind Bat Demon weren't injured, they were stunned by the sound of the sword for a moment.

Xiao Yi's calculations were not wrong; he could just make enough time to escape.

Whoosh, his figure flashed, retreating swiftly.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a surging sword qi suddenly struck from in front of him.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi's expression turned cold, Guu Changkong in front, who the Sword Hall Elder was leading away, was sneering.

That sword qi was unleashed by him.

Amplified by the Netherworld Sky Sword, this sword qi reached the power of Mystic Breakthrough Second Layer.

At the same time, a bright light appeared on his hand.

A more terrifying sword qi was shot directly at him.

"Bastard, what are you doing?" Ye Ming and the others who had escaped first shouted.

"That's the sword qi given by the Sword Hall Elder for your protection, why did you strike at Xiao Yi?"

Their questioning was futile.

Because the sword qi had already struck Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi could block Guu Changkong's first sword qi.

But he couldn't block this sword qi, comparable to the Sword Hall Elder's full-strength strike.

"Puh." Xiao Yi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his figure kept retreating.

Had it not been for the Five Elements Armor protecting him, he would have been gravely injured by now.

Everything happened too fast, so fast that no one could react.

And in just that brief moment, less than a second.

The Fire Rock Giant Beast and the Yin Wind Bat Demon had regained their senses.

The terrifying fire dragon tornado struck again.

It was already too late to retreat now.

Xiao Yi's gaze turned icy.

He already knew that Guu Changkong was ruthless and cruel; if he wasn't eliminated early, he would become a huge problem.

Today, his suspicion proved correct.

But to kill him wasn't that simple.

"Evil beast, die..." Xiao Yi could only use the sword qi left to him by Elder Yi.

Elder Yi once said that his sword qi could save his life in any situation.

This sword qi could be activated with a single thought.

However, he hadn't noticed the evil glint in the Yin Wind Bat Demon's eyes, which suddenly flashed.

In an instant, an inexplicable force struck Xiao Yi's mind.

Xiao Yi's mind went blank, and then he lost consciousness.

Others suffered the same fate, including thousands of slowly escaping family Martial Artists.

They were not like the disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect who had treasures for protection.

Their escape speed was far slower than the disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

As they lost consciousness.

The fire dragon tornado swept over instantly.

Including Xiao Yi, everyone was helplessly sucked into the gaping maw of the Fire Rock Giant Beast.

"Gulp." The Fire Rock Giant Beast let out a contented burp.

Its mountainous body, bursting with fire.

Inside, it contained magma, intensely hot.

Anything it swallowed would eventually dissolve in the magma and turn into a puff of smoke.

"Xiao Yi." Except for the Sword Hall Elder, six elders' expressions changed.

Without hesitation, they abandoned the demon beasts they were facing and immediately headed towards the Fire Rock Giant Beast.

But a Level 5 Demonic Beast, how cunning it was.

Seeing the six powerful attackers coming like mad, it didn't hesitate to flee.

In just a few breaths, it had escaped into the Demon Beast Forest and vanished without a trace.

...

Second update.
