Soul Emperor Martial God

"Thud..."

Murong Ba, impaled through the heart by a man in black clothing, suddenly spat out a mouthful of bloody spittle.

The blood dripped from his mouth,

then trickled down his clothes to the floor.

Hiss… hiss… hiss…

As the blood flowed over the fabric, the fabric instantly corroded.

Even the solid ground corroded, forming small holes.

The dagger had been poisoned, transmitting the toxin through Murong Ba's heart into his bloodstream.

Although the venom was diluted by the blood, it still possessed such powerful corrosive properties.

It's likely that by now, the organs inside Murong Ba had already corroded away.

The next second, Murong Ba's face turned black, and he pointed trembling hands at Murong Qianjun.

He only managed to say, "Kill him for me,"

before his body stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground.

Soon after, he was devoid of any life signs, becoming a corpse.

A mighty Mystic Breakthrough Eighth Layer Martial Artist had died so easily and in such a tragic manner.

"What a domineering venom," Xiao Yi was also taken aback.

"Family Head… Family Head…" A group of Murong Family Martial Artists were in disarray, each displaying a mix of emotions.

There was panic, sadness, and shock, but most of all, there was anger.

"Beasts." A few Murong Family Elders glared murderously at Murong Qianjun and Murong Xuan.

The Murong Family was a large clan.

There were basic cohesive forces at play.

With the Family Head murdered, the clan members couldn't possibly stand idly by.

One by one, the clan members' aura surged, preparing to make a move.

"Seeking death." The man in black's expression turned cold, his overwhelming aura pressing down on the Murong Family members.

Such power from a single person left them gasping for breath.

"Hmph." The man in black snorted disdainfully.

The Murong Family members were all thrown back, spitting blood.

After standing up again, they ground their teeth in hatred.

Murong Qianjun and Murong Xuan were only at the First Layer of Mysterious Profundity, mere ants.

Yet the assassin from Blood Mist Valley in black clothing left them utterly helpless.

"Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer," Xiao Yi had been watching without making a move.

Only now did he make a slight motion.

"Although I don't know how you managed to employ assassins from Blood Mist Valley."

Xiao Yi glanced at Murong Qianjun and Murong Xuan.

"But the one who abducted my Uncle Xiao Chong is him, right?"

His cold and sharp gaze fixed on the man in black.

"So what if it is," Murong Qianjun sneered.

"It's nothing, just verifying the facts to avoid killing the wrong person," Xiao Yi sneered back and instantly made his move.

An incredibly firm barrier enveloped Xiao Chong.

Then, with a flicker of his form, the Blood Slaughter Sword thrust towards the man in black.

"An insignificant Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layer dares to attack me? Overestimating your own abilities," the man in black sneered.

With a swing of his hand, the dagger that had been stabbed into Murong Ba instantly returned to his grasp.

"Sea Covering Slash," Xiao Yi bellowed.

A tidal sword melody surged towards the man in black.

"Earth-rank Peak Martial Technique?" The man in black's expression changed.

"Blood Mist Slash."

The man in black responded with a high-level Earth Rank Martial Technique.

Boom, the clash of sword melody and dagger emitted a thunderous roar.

But the result was clearly in favor of Sea Covering Slash.

The man in black was struck by the tidal sword melody.

The dagger flew out of his hand.

And then the sword melody hit him unimpeded.

"Thud." The man in black spat fresh blood, his face instantly displaying panic.

It was clear to see, there was a huge wave mirrored in his lifeless eyes.

The incessant tidal sword melody continuously struck him.

He kept retreating.

Thump, thump, thump,

With each step backward, a stream of bloody spittle erupted from his mouth.

After retreating more than a dozen steps and the sword melody dissipating, he finally stopped.

However, his clothes were soaked with fresh blood.

His complexion had also become deathly pale, clearly severely wounded.

Simultaneously, the panic on his face deepened.

That kind of helplessness and panic, like standing alone in the sea facing countless towering waves without the ability to resist, was unbearable for anyone.

The mighty assassin from Blood Mist Valley now looked at Xiao Yi with a completely changed gaze.

It was a fear that stemmed from the depths of his heart.

"How strong," the Murong Family Members showed delight.

They seemed to also hope Xiao Yi would kill the man in black.

"Blood Dagger, get up and kill that little wretch," Murong Qianjun ordered frantically.

The man in black didn't move, not because he didn't want to.

Rather, he couldn't move.

He had already been shaken by the sword's sound until his Qi-Blood churned tumultuously.

The bones in his limbs had shattered a great deal.

If he moved, it was very likely that his limbs would be rendered useless.

The Earth-rank Peak Martial Technique passed down by the Sky-splitting Sword Demon was incredibly domineering and powerful.

Moreover, it was employed by Xiao Yi, a monster whose Qi Spring was astonishingly vast.

How could a mere Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Martial Artist withstand it?

"Die." Xiao Yi's Blood Slaughter Sword aimed directly for the man in black's head.

Swoosh, just at that moment, a figure appeared beside the man in black.

A pair of slender, fair hands blocked and easily repelled Xiao Yi's sword.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi was startled and withdrew his sword.

The newcomer was a woman, about 17 or 18, with a beautiful face that could be considered city-toppling.

Her brows carried a hint of cold indifference.

That kind of icy demeanor, which keeps people at a thousand miles distance, made it evident at a glance that she was not someone easy to interact with.

"Sister!" Murong Qianjun was immediately overjoyed.

"Murong Jiao'er," Xiao Yi frowned.

Speaking of which, this was his first time seeing this nominal fiancée.

No, they had already broken off the engagement, so there was no relation between them.

Of course, Xiao Yi had no interest in such a woman.

It was just that upon seeing her for the first time, he was somewhat astonished.

Moreover, in his perception, Murong Jiao'er was actually at the Third Layer of Mystic Breakthrough.

"Lady Jiao'er." The man in black even respectfully knelt on one knee in front of Murong Jiao'er.

"Xiao Yi," Murong Jiao'er didn't pay attention to the man in black but instead looked towards Xiao Yi.

"It seems that the one who really summoned Blood Mist Valley was you," Xiao Yi said coldly.

"Correct," Murong Jiao'er replied indifferently.

"Of course, thanks to you."

"Back then you annihilated my Murong Family."

"My brother and I had no choice but to wander away."

"My brother and Murong Xuan went to the Northern Mountain Murong Family."

"While I was fortunate to meet a powerful person and was taken in as their direct disciple."

"Now, I am a prominent disciple under the Elders of Blood Mist Valley."

Murong Jiao'er proudly looked at Xiao Yi, "Do you think that you, Xiao Yi, today"

"are no longer the good-for-nothing you once were,

"but rather a strong person who can even annihilate a colossal existence like the Northern Mountain Murong Family?"

"Can you be proud, feeling great about yourself?"

"Do you also feel that my leaving you and dissolving our engagement back then"

"was a loss for me, that I should regret?"

"Not at all." Xiao Yi shook his head lightly.

"Oh?" Murong Jiao'er's proud expression flickered with a slight start.

"Heh." Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "What need is there to feel anything towards a dead person?"

"What?" Murong Jiao'er was shocked.

The next second, Xiao Yi had already made his move.

He had captured Xiao Chong and further tortured him into this state.

He wouldn't rest until he killed the person before him.

Whoever dared to stop him would only face death.

"Sea Covering Slash," Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

As if a tidal wave, the sword sound surged again.

Both the man in black and Murong Jiao'er had no power to fight back.

The man in black was directly consumed by the sword sound, fell to the ground, his life and death unknown.

Murong Jiao'er, on the other hand, was forced back step by step, almost injured.

"How dare you!"

Just then, a cold shout came.

A blood-clothed man stood in front of Murong Jiao'er.

And Xiao Yi's sword sound scattered instantly.

"Earth Origin Realm." Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed.

Blood Mist Valley, being the top assassin force of the Flame Martial Kingdom.

Its assassins were clearly ranked.

Black clothing signified an ordinary assassin.

Blood-cloth, at least a Deacon status.

"Jiao'er, are you alright?" the blood-clothed man asked.

Murong Jiao'er shook her head, saying, "Thanks to Uncle Xue Tu, I'm fine."

Xue Tu, an Earth Origin Realm Martial Artist, was one of the famous assassins of Blood Mist Valley.

"So, you're that piece of trash from a small family who was entangled with Jiao'er before?" Xue Tu looked coldly at Xiao Yi.

"Entangled?" Xiao Yi laughed coldly.

"What gives you the right to sneer before me," Xue Tu said coldly.

The aura of the Earth Origin Realm oppressively surged toward Xiao Yi.

The third update.
