Soul Emperor Martial God

At the edge of Northern Mountain County, high in the sky.

A stream of flame streaked across the horizon at high speed.

Just at that moment,

Dozens of figures broke through the sky,

Blocking the trail of fiery light.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, finally willing to show your face, huh?"

The faces of the dozens of Martial Artists were fierce—

It was indeed the Assassins from Blood Mist Valley.

The stream of flame was none other than Xiao Yi, who had used the Purple Flame Wings.

"Blood Mist Valley Assassins, as expected, you came," Xiao Yi stood in the sky, staring coldly at the dozens below him.

In his perception,

All these dozens were of the Mystic Breakthrough Realm.

The leaders among them were of the Earth Origin Realm.

"I barely left Northern Mountain County, and you appeared."

"It seems you've been lurking here for a long time," Xiao Yi said coldly.

"Cut the crap," the lead Assassin of the Earth Origin Realm Fifth Layer waved his hand grandly.

Dozens of Blood Mist Valley Assassins immediately surrounded Xiao Yi.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, I advise you to surrender quietly."

"We can make the journey a bit more comfortable for you."

"Otherwise, with Blood Mist Valley's methods,"

"You'll have a hard time during the escort," the lead Assassin stated coldly.

They were just ordinary Assassins.

The order from above was simply to capture Yi Xiao alive.

But they had no idea why they needed to take him alive.

As for the Heart Demon incident involving the Young Valley Master of Blood Mist Valley, it naturally wouldn't be disclosed to outsiders.

Apart from the Valley Master, only the elders knew.

"An escort?" Xiao Yi mused to himself, "It seems you intend to capture me alive."

Xiao Yi could guess that the shadow he cast on Xue Wushang was indeed successful.

Blood Mist Valley must be planning to capture him alive,

Then allow Xue Wushang to kill him in person to extinguish his Heart Demon.

"Take him down," the lead Assassin gave the command with a wave of his hand.

"Hmph," Xiao Yi snorted coldly.

Surging Purple Flames poured forth.

The Assassins of Blood Mist Valley, ready to attack, immediately retreated warily.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're just sentries,"

"Or perhaps just ordinary Assassins responsible for hiding,"

"Not very strong,"

"This time to capture Yi, there must be an elder leading the team, right?"

"Moreover, your elders must have instructed you,"

"The moment you discover me, signal immediately, rather than acting recklessly on your own," Xiao Yi speculated.

The lead Assassin from Blood Mist Valley showed a look of surprise.

"How do you know?"

Indeed, there was an elder leading the team from Blood Mist Valley to capture Xiao Yi.

Blood Mist Valley, being the leading Assassin group in the Flame Martial Kingdom,

had a clear hierarchical structure.

Ordinary Assassins could mostly reach the Mysterious Profundity or Mystic Breakthrough Realms.

Gold Medal Killers were of the Earth Origin Realm and seldom engaged.

Heavenly Element ones were elders and also certainly influential figures within Blood Mist Valley.

On the topic,

The elder leading this operation apparently feared something,

And dared not personally infiltrate Northern Mountain County.

Thus, he only dispatched his subordinates to lie in ambush.

Of course, he had also issued an order:

The moment they found Purple Flame Yi Xiao, they were to signal immediately.

He would speed over right away.

But now it seemed, this group of Assassins wanted to claim the credit for themselves.

They hadn't signaled.

Instead, they were planning to seize Purple Flame Yi Xiao on their own.

In their eyes, their side had dozens from the Mystic Breakthrough Realm,

Three from the Earth Origin Realm,

And the leader was of the Earth Origin Realm Fifth Layer.

They believed this was more than enough to deal with the young Purple Flame Yi Xiao.

At that moment, Xiao Yi gave a faint smile.

"Send a signal and let your elder come,"

"You're no match for me."

"Hmph, boasting shamelessly," the group of Assassins showed a cold glint.

"Watch me break your Purple Flame."

The leading Earth Origin Fifth Layer immediately made a move,

And swiftly mobilized the power of the Golden Core within his body.

His strength was not to be underestimated.

With a "boom,"

The vast Purple Flame was easily scattered by him.

"Take him down."

With the Purple Flame dispersed, the dozens of Blood Mist Valley Assassins, already eager for action, surrounded Xiao Yi.

"Seeking death," Xiao Yi snorted coldly.

The vast Purple Flame appeared once more.

This time, Xiao Yi held nothing back.

The Assassins from Blood Mist Valley were instantaneously turned to ash under the surging Purple Flame.

Afterward, Xiao Yi's figure flickered.

His Physical Strength, already at the Earth Element First Layer,

In his Asura Transformation,

Rose directly to the Earth Element Fourth Stage.

When he reappeared,

He was gripping the throat of an Earth Origin Realm Assassin.

With a fierce squeeze and a flash of Purple Flame,

Two Earth Origin Realm Assassins were dead.

From the moment Xiao Yi made his move to now, it took only a few seconds.

The originally ferocious Assassins from Blood Mist Valley.

Only the leader, an Earth Element Fifth Stage Assassin, remained.

"So strong," the man's pupils shrank, his face revealing an expression of disbelief.

The next second.

He didn't hesitate.

He immediately fled into the distance.

He knew he had kicked an iron plate.

Underestimating Purple Flame Yi Xiao meant death.

Just now, the group of assassins hadn't died.

He could still send a signal.

Now, only he remained, and he no longer had a chance.

"Trying to escape now? It's too late," Xiao Yi sneered coldly.

His figure flashed, instantly capturing the Earth Element Fifth Stage Assassin.

Purple Flame and Ten Realms Annihilation Fire enveloped him in an instant.

Xiao Yi shattered his Protective True Qi with a punch.

Purple Flame and Azure Fire effortlessly burned him to ashes.

With this, the dozens of assassins from Blood Mist Valley lurking here were all dead.

Earth Origin Realm Martial Artists with Earth Element Golden Core were indeed formidable.

But the Physical Strength granted by the Asura Battle Body was stronger than theirs.

The Asura Battle Body, the further it was cultivated, the greater the effect.

And the stronger the amplification.

Refined to the Seventh Layer's perfection, achieving the Asura Battle Body, a single punch could shatter heaven and earth.

Incredibly powerful.

Xiao Yi now, after using Asura Transformation,

Could claim invincibility in the Earth Origin Realm Fourth Layer.

With the combined strength of the two flames, killing an Earth Element Fifth Stage was within reason.

Xiao Yi stood in the air, waving his hand grandly, drawing in all of the fallen Qiankun Bags.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brow, muttering to himself.

"If the assassins who came to Northern Mountain County had an elder leading them,"

"The number would definitely not be small."

"Let's see if I can root every one of you out."

Xiao Yi's expression turned cold, and his figure flashed away in an instant.

...

The path from Northern Mountain County to the Royal Capital was inevitable.

This road connected the outskirts of Northern Mountain County.

At the same time, one had to cross through a forest.

Inside the forest.

A figure moved swiftly, leaping forward.

A pair of clear yet utterly cold eyes scanned the surroundings rapidly.

Shortly after, the figure flashed.

And disappeared into the surrounding underbrush.

The figure was of course Xiao Yi.

"So you're hidden here, quite a secret spot," Xiao Yi thought with a cold chuckle.

...

Within the underbrush, a team of ten Martial Artists lay in ambush.

They were very cautious.

Since hiding there, they hadn't moved once.

They hadn't even exchanged words with each other.

Even their breath was barely audible.

Cold eyes fixed intently on everything outside the underbrush.

Clearly, their skill in concealment was remarkable.

These people were the assassins from Blood Mist Valley.

As careful as they were, they never imagined that behind them,

A cold dark shadow was steadily approaching.

A hiss so faint it was barely heard, like the slight buzz of a mosquito before it quickly flies away.

Another hiss.

Hiss... Hiss... Hiss...

"What's that sound?" one of the assassins frowned.

He turned to look back.

And his face went pale with shock.

Because behind him, his companions had silently turned into corpses.

A striking crimson bloodstain on their throats, extremely conspicuous.

"What?" The man immediately alerted.

But it was too late.

A sharp sword flashed across his throat and passed by.

He didn't even make a muffled sound before he became a corpse.

Xiao Yi, holding the Blood Slaughter Sword, smiled coldly.

He paid no attention to him.

Then, his figure flashed again.

...

Several hours later.

Xiao Yi's figure nearly traversed the entire forest.

The assassins hiding from Blood Mist Valley were not spared.

They all silently became corpses under his assassinations.

A signal flare shot into the sky with a bang.

The one sending the signal wasn't a Blood Mist Valley assassin, but Xiao Yi.

The signal flare was also snatched from the corpses of the Blood Mist Valley assassins.

...

In the far distance, an elder who saw the signal in the sky immediately leaped into the air to hurry over.

A closer look revealed this person to be Elder Xue, who had previously injured Xiao Yi with a palm strike in Northern Mountain County.

When he arrived at the forest,

He intended to find his subordinates.

But what met his eyes were corpses everywhere.

There were a total of eight teams of assassins, twelve in each team.

Ninety-six people in total, all well-trained assassins from Blood Mist Valley.

Yet now, they lay silently killed in the forest, one by one.

Having the ability to do this, Elder Xue already guessed who it was.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, you must die," Elder Xue gritted his teeth, his face rampant with killing intent.

...

...

The first update.
