Soul Emperor Martial God

Hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, scraped clean by the tidal waves.

Truly a spectacular sight.

It also made the group of Martial Artists on the city wall cheer and leap for joy.

"The demon beasts will now all be swept back to the forest by this monstrous wave."

"This Beast Tide will end without the loss of a single soldier or fighter."

"How fortunate and worthy of celebration."

Du Hua said with a smile.

Hearing this, the Martial Artists all nodded.

Hu Yihu said, "That is only natural."

"With the Nine River Sword Master personally taking action, how could the Beast Tide not retreat?"

"Forgive my impertinence in speaking out of turn,"

"but looking across the entirety of Nine River County, aside from some of the older generations in the Earth Origin Realm,"

"who else could possess the courage to repel hundreds of thousands of demon beasts with their own strength?"

"It's none other than the Nine River Sword Master, Miss Zhou Yueyao."

Hu Yihu's words seemed disrespectful on the surface,

but in reality, he was just trying to butter up the Zhou Family.

"Indeed," the other members of the Demon Hunting Team also quickly agreed with flattery.

"With the current strength of the Nine River Sword Master,"

"he is certainly one of the strongest among the thirty-six Sword Masters."

"He would undoubtedly rank in the top ten of Heavenly Talents on the Flame Martial List."

The Zhou Family was in full swing.

Naturally, everyone was eager to curry favor.

The Great Elder of Zhou Family was greatly pleased and smiled contentedly.

"The Beast Tide has indeed ended; child, it's time to deal with your matter."

The Great Elder of Zhou Family looked coldly at Xiao Yi.

Du Hua's expression changed, prepared to forcefully break through the Great Elder's aura.

However,

Xiao Yi, taking the initiative, said, "Elder Zhou, if you have the inclination to deal with Yi here,"

"you might as well rescue Zhou Yueyao first."

"Rescue Yueyao?" The Great Elder of Zhou Family was taken aback at first.

Then he said with scorn, "Boy, I thought you had something important to say."

"You just want to lead the tiger away from the mountain so you can escape, don't you?"

The Martial Artists around also scoffed.

"A General Executor of the Demon Hunting Hall, resorting to lies."

"To rescue Miss Yueyao? Clearly, he is just afraid of dying and making up stories."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi gave a cold laugh.

"Elder Zhou, you're at least a Martial Artist at the Earth Element Second Layer."

"If you weren't so focused on locking your aura onto Yi here,"

"you would surely notice several terrifying auras gathering in the Demon Beast Forest in the distance."

At this declaration,

the Martial Artists were immediately filled with alarm, "What?"

Du Hua, being the highest in Cultivation present, was the first to react.

He closed his eyes to sense for a second,

then urgently said, "Indeed, it is so."

Du Hua's gaze became extremely solemn.

"There are indeed several terrifying auras gathering in the distance."

"Judging by the density of the auras, they must be at least at the Earth Origin Realm."

"General Executor Yi Xiao, how did you discover this?"

"Could it be that your Cultivation is even higher than mine?"

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "I guessed."

"Look, at the edge of the Demon Beast Forest, demon beasts are still continuously emerging."

"If there are still demon beasts coming out,"

"do you think that the ten Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Demonic Beasts we saw earlier were the strongest?"

Demon beasts have a deep sense of territory and hierarchy.

The true Demon Beast Dominator would never appear before their subordinates.

This proves that the real powerful demon beasts must still be waiting to emerge.

"Now, Zhou Yueyao has used the river to wash away three hundred thousand demon beasts,"

"but, those three hundred thousand were merely temporarily repelled,"

"and not a single one was hurt."

"Once more demon beasts pour out from the Demon Beast Forest,"

"plus these three hundred thousand demon beasts, their numbers will surge instantaneously."

The next batch of demon beasts will keep coming without end, and when combined with the first batch, their numbers will naturally skyrocket.

"The Dominator of this section of the Demon Beast Forest must be above the Earth Origin Realm."

"When these Earth Origin Realm demon beasts appear,"

"leading almost a million-strong demon beast army in an attack,"

"how could Nine River City withstand such a powerful Beast Tide again?"

Xiao Yi finished speaking in one breath,

and his face suddenly turned solemn.

"Zhou Yueyao may be foolish,"

"but you experienced Demon Hunters shouldn't be gloating on top of the city wall."

Having analyzed the situation, Xiao Yi also realized the severity of the matter.

He wouldn't guess wrong.

The current Beast Tide was exactly like the one from Northern Mountain County in the Eastern Desolate.

The demon beasts were unending and fearlessly aggressive.

Before long, the real Dominator of the demon beasts would certainly appear.

"General Executor Du Hua," Xiao Yi turned to Du Hua and spoke earnestly.

"Please immediately summon the Sub Hall Master and the Nine River County Prince."

"Otherwise, if we wait until the situation worsens to ask for their help,"

"the Human Martial Artists here will suffer heavy casualties."

"This..." Du Hua hesitated.

He wasn't sure if Xiao Yi's prediction was correct.

After all, Nine River City had withstood countless Beast Tides.

Nothing too severe had ever occurred before.

Every time, it was he, the Chief Steward, leading the martial artists and Demon Hunters within the city, who would resolve the situation.

They had never once disturbed the Sub Hall Master and the Nine River County Prince.

"Ha, what a load of nonsense," the Great Elder of the Zhou Family sneered.

"Boy, are you cursing our Nine River City?"

"If you dare utter more alarming and morale-harming nonsense, be careful or I might kill you right now..."

He couldn't finish his sentence.

Because, from a distance, Zhou Yueyao suddenly let out a cry of alarm.

"Yueyao." The Great Elder of the Zhou Family was instantly alarmed.

His gaze shifted over.

Only to see several Level 5 Peak Demon Beasts suddenly leaping out of the Demon Beast Forest.

The strength of a Level 5 Peak Demon Beast was equivalent to a human martial artist at the Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer.

"Damned beasts, courting death," the Great Elder of the Zhou Family bellowed.

He was an Earth Origin Second Layer martial artist.

Killing Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Demonic Beasts was a walk in the park for him.

But unexpectedly.

From a distance, Zhou Yueyao called out loudly, "Great Elder, there's no need to assist."

"I am confident in dealing with these monsters."

As Zhou Yueyao spoke, she swung the Reverse Water Sword in her hand.

She shouted, "Reverse Water Unparalleled."

The turbulent waters of the nine great rivers once again raged uncontrollably.

Nine robust water dragons surged like a sky-covering torrent.

They easily trapped these just-emerged Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Demonic Beasts.

"Impressive, she managed, with her own strength, to subdue several Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Demonic Beasts."

Hu Yihu and others praised loudly.

"Indeed worthy of the Nine River Sword Master."

Zhou Yueyao, using the geographical advantage here.

Could stand invincible.

To harm or defeat her, one would need at least the Earth Origin Realm's strength.

"Now, boy, you have nothing to say, do you?" The Great Elder of the Zhou Family sneered coldly.

"Even if we old folks don't take action,"

"Yueyao alone is enough to deal with this beast tide."

Far away, the nine great rivers that run through Nine River County, as they had for a hundred years, surged incessantly.

The resounding sound of the surging water.

Seemed to be loudly mocking Xiao Yi's 'lies'.

Hu Yihu and the others also sneered, "Keep making up stories, General Executor Yi Xiao."

"We find it quite interesting."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"A General Executor of the Demon Hunting Hall, not very capable, but quite adept at spinning tales."

"Presumptuous." Du Hua uttered coldly.

"When is it your turn to be impolite to General Executor Yi Xiao."

With these words,

Du Hua whispered to Xiao Yi, "General Executor Yi Xiao, you didn't have to do this."

"Stop talking nonsense for now."

"I am confident that I can take you away safely later."

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Chief Steward Du Hua, I remind you one last time."

"Quickly invite the Sub Hall Master and the Nine River County Prince over."

"Otherwise, Nine River City will be in danger."

"Still spewing nonsense," the Great Elder of the Zhou Family's expression turned cold, ready to discipline Xiao Yi.

"Unknowing fool." Hu Yihu also said coldly, "Still cursing our Nine River City."

"This martial artist from another county truly deserves to die."

"Let Hu deal with him, no need to dirty the hands of the Zhou Family elder."

Hu Yihu leaped into action.

In his view, a Chief Steward from Northern Mountain County at most possessed the strength of Mystic Breakthrough Third or Fourth Layer.

He could easily deal with Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi, of course, did not take him seriously.

Just as he was about to slap him away.

He suddenly sensed something awry.

A bad premonition flashed through his heart.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows tightly, "What's amiss?"

Xiao Yi was thinking.

And couldn't care less about the approaching Hu Yihu.

Seeing this, Du Hua, thinking Xiao Yi was no match for Hu Yihu, struck first.

He slapped him away.

"I've got it," Xiao Yi suddenly had an insight.

"It's the river water."

"Zhou Yueyao has frequently manipulated the turbulent waters of the nine great rivers."

"The river water should be surging ceaselessly, even stopping abruptly, or even reversing."

"But now, it flows tumultuously as usual."

"This proves that inside the river, there must be something."

"Forcefully stabilizing these waters to avoid revealing its tracks."

No sooner had Xiao Yi finished speaking,

From the river nearest to Nine River City,

Several colossal figures soared into the air.

Their fearsome aura proved that their strength was definitely above the Earth Origin Realm.

At the same time,

As if by coincidence,

Tens of thousands of pure Level 5 Demon Beasts surged out from the Demon Beast Forest.

"Not good," Xiao Yi's face changed drastically.

Second update.
