Soul Emperor Martial God

"So you admit it."

Elder Xue coldly looked towards Xiao Yi.

Then, step by step, he moved closer, ready to capture Xiao Yi.

The Asura Battle Body, in total, had seven layers.

The first four layers were acquired by the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch in his youth, at an ancient relic.

The last three layers, however, were missing.

The first four layers only allowed one to cultivate up to the ninth layer of Earth Origin.

The Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch had only cultivated to the third layer to perfection, which is the ninth layer of Mystic Breakthrough.

But, he spent his entire life searching for the last three layers.

Yet he never found them.

Unexpectedly, they were in Blood Mist Valley.

However, without the first four layers in Blood Mist Valley,

How was the cultivation possible?

The entry to the first layer of the Asura Battle Body was quite important.

Without it, even if you had the last six layers, it would be useless.

It was simply impossible to cultivate.

"The reason my punch just now didn't kill you is because you've cultivated the Asura Battle Body, hasn't it?"

At this moment, Xiao Yi calmly watched Elder Xue as he stepped closer.

But there was no trace of panic.

Instead, he asked indifferently.

Elder Xue halted his steps and said, "Indeed."

"I might only have the cultivation of the first layer of Heavenly Origin."

"But my physical body is far stronger than that of an ordinary person at the same level."

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "If you don't have the first layer, how could you possibly cultivate it?"

"Hahahaha." Elder Xue laughed heartily.

He was now less than ten meters away from Xiao Yi.

He didn't approach Xiao Yi.

Instead, he stopped.

He was tired of Xiao Yi's numerous cunning ploys and careful calculations.

He was worried Xiao Yi might have other tricks up his sleeve.

So he didn't come any closer.

Instead, he manipulated the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in the high skies, intending to forcefully restrain Xiao Yi first.

Then, he planned to severely injure Xiao Yi before capturing him.

After all, he himself was also wounded.

He didn't dare to take the risk.

Capsizing in the gutter was a big taboo for assassins.

Moreover, as the saying goes, the older, the wiser.

Elder Xue was undoubtedly very shrewd and afraid of death.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let his subordinates lurk alone while he did not enter Northern Mountain County.

Countless surges of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy attacked.

Xiao Yi, already without the power to fight, had no means to resist.

In an instant, he was restrained.

Seeing this, Elder Xue nodded in satisfaction.

"Blood Sea Floating Slaughter." Elder Xue intended to beat Xiao Yi into a severe injury, possibly even cripple him.

He was very clear about the orders.

As long as Purple Flame Yi Xiao did not die, he should be taken back to Blood Mist Valley alive.

"Elder Xue, you haven't answered my question yet," Xiao Yi asked quickly.

"Heh." Elder Xue sneered.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, I really don't know how big your guts are."

"You know you're no match for me, yet you insist on causing me trouble, even delivering yourself to my doorstep."

"You know there's no escape from heaven to earth now, you're bound to be captured by me."

"And yet you still want to ask me questions, you truly don't know whether to live or die."

Elder Xue, because he was wounded,

used Martial Techniques a bit slower than usual to avoid aggravating his injuries.

Blood Sea Floating Slaughter was an untransmittable Martial Technique of Blood Mist Valley, ranking at the peak of Earth Rank.

In a little while, when the Blood Sea Floating Slaughter was truly ready,

Elder Xue's hands glowed with a blood-colored light, looking incredibly formidable.

Then he said, "The answer is simple."

"The last three layers of the Asura Battle Body have been in Blood Mist Valley's possession for many years."

"Generations of Valley Masters have devoted themselves to its study."

"Although we couldn't cultivate it, we used it to create a powerful Body Refining Technique."

"It doesn't come close to the Asura Battle Body, but it is also extremely formidable."

"I see." Xiao Yi nodded, showing a sudden look of enlightenment.

"Elder Xue, one last question."

"You imbecile." Elder Xue's face turned cold, "Do you think I need to explain anything to you?"

"Once I capture you and take you back to Blood Mist Valley,"

"The Young Valley Master will personally strike you down. Then you can go ask King Yan in the Netherworld."

"Heh." Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "According to your words, Mr. Yi is a dead man."

"Can't you satisfy Mr. Yi's final wish before death?"

Elder Xue frowned, glancing at the blood-colored light in his hands.

Immediately feeling confident,

"Fine, state your question."

Though he asked,

in reality, he had no intention of answering Xiao Yi's question.

He was planning to toy with Xiao Yi.

To avenge the shadow cast over Xue Wushang.

"Hehe." Xiao Yi chuckled and asked, "Elder Xue, do you know why I killed all of your subordinates?"

"What do you mean?" A shock went through Elder Xue's heart, not knowing what Xiao Yi wanted to ask.

Xiao Yi laughed again, "Since I dared to come after you,"

"It means I don't care about your Earth Origin and Mystic Breakthrough subordinates."

"Yet I still killed them all."

"Then sent out a signal, drawing you out."

"Aren't you curious?"

"Why?" Elder Xue asked in return.

"The problem is simple," Xiao Yi smiled.

His tone was exactly like Elder Xue's when he had answered him earlier.

And it was the same five words: "The problem is simple."

"Because, there are some things Mr. Yi does not want others to know."

"To be cautious, naturally, one must silence them first."

"You…" Upon hearing this, Elder Xue's face suddenly changed.

An ominous premonition surged in his heart.

The next moment, when he saw Xiao Yi's movement, his face drastically changed.

Even his hand, holding the blood-colored attack known as 'Blood Sea Floating Slaughter,' trembled and hesitated to launch it.

At this moment, Xiao Yi's aura had massively increased out of nowhere.

It wasn't just a simple increase.

His entire being seemed to have changed.

He was holding what seemed to be a Supreme Divine Sword that descended from the Nine Heavens unto the human world.

The sword was emitting a deep purple hue.

The terrifyingly cold aura that spilled out from the sword body seemed like it could freeze the entire world.

It was the Ice Phoenix Sword.

"Purple... Purple Martial Soul…" Elder Xue was extremely horrified.

"Your Martial Soul is obviously fire-controlling type, how could..."

"Could it be that you… you are the legendary… dual-spirited…"

His words were cut off.

Because an icy proclamation had already reached his ears.

'Sea Covering Slash.'

The sound of the sword tide gushed forth.

But, this time the sound of the sword was strange.

In addition to the overwhelming Sword Intent.

There was suddenly a burst of extreme cold enveloping the air.

The giant tidal waves didn't injure Elder Xue in the slightest.

Instead, it was the extreme cold that instantly froze him into ice.

"Die." Xiao Yi, dragging his severely injured body, forcibly leapt up.

The Ice Phoenix Sword in his hand slashed directly at the frozen Elder Xue.

Elder Xue was immobilized.

He could distinctly feel that under this cold aura.

Not only his body but even his Qi-Blood and Golden Core had been instantly frozen.

He could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Divine Sword slashed towards him.

With a 'hiss' sound.

Like a piece of thin paper being easily sliced, a faint noise emanated.

Elder Xue's robust body, which had not been killed by the Boundary Shattering Fist, along with his Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Cultivation,

Was easily cut into two by the Ice Phoenix Sword.

In death, his eyes were wide open.

As if he died with lingering resentment.

Only a true powerhouse would know what a Purple Martial Soul truly represented.

If he had known earlier that Xiao Yi possessed a Purple Martial Soul.

He would have undoubtedly fled without hesitation.

Even if he was only severely injured and still had the strength to fight.

Even if Xiao Yi had no more strength to fight.

He wouldn't dare linger for a moment.

The might of a Purple Martial Soul was something he, heavily injured and only at the Heavenly Origin First Layer, could not resist.

A Purple Martial Soul, though only one tier higher than a blue one.

The gap between them was as vast as the difference between the Heavenly Abyss.

In front of a Purple Martial Soul, a blue Martial Soul was no different from the lowest tier, a red Martial Soul.

"Sigh…" Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

His chest was still heaving uncontrollably.

Although he appeared calm and unfazed just now.

In truth, he was also gambling and worrying about the possibility of failure.

Once he released the Ice Phoenix Sword.

The extreme cold aura from Elder Xue's cold corpse automatically dissipated.

Taking another deep breath.

Xiao Yi quickly sat down cross-legged and started healing through meditation.

He had the confidence to confront Elder Xue this time.

Firstly, because he knew that Blood Mist Valley wanted to capture him alive.

As long as they dared not kill him, even if he failed to defeat Elder Xue this time and got captured,

He still had a chance to escape.

Secondly, because he had Elder Yi's Sword Qi.

Since witnessing the Great Elder scare off a Blood Mist Valley Assassin with his own eyes last time.

He knew that Elder Yi's Cultivation was far from simple.

Although he did not know how strong he was.

But it was easy for him to kill someone from the Heavenly Origin Realm.

He had always been reluctant to use this Sword Qi.

Because it was the only keepsake Elder Yi left for him.

He wouldn't use it unless it was an absolute emergency.

Half a day later, with the aid of Healing Pills and the Crane Form,

Xiao Yi's injuries had stabilized, but full recovery would still take some time.

Xiao Yi didn't want to waste time.

He stopped healing and approached Elder Xue's corpse.

The body, split into two halves.

Didn't hinder the absorption of the Martial Soul.

The Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes flickered past.

Two invisible vortexes attached to Elder Xue's body.

Before long, the Martial Soul was absorbed.

The first update.
