Soul Emperor Martial God

Engulfed by the endless Purple Flame.

Xiao Yi swiftly separated the Earth Origin Realm Demon Beasts from those below their rank.

Had those of the Earth Origin Realm joined the fray, the human Martial Artists would have suffered heavy casualties.

Even so, the situation for the human Martial Artists was hardly optimistic.

Xiao Yi sent the leading Earth Origin Eighth Layer Demon Beast flying with a punch.

He couldn't quite recall the names of these beasts.

They were all Water attribute Demon Beasts.

There were also some bizarre Plant Type Demon Beasts.

Fortunately, these types of beasts had neither strong attack power nor explosive power.

Xiao Yi's Earth Origin Eighth Layer physical strength was more than enough to crush them.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

Xiao Yi's figure flickered incessantly.

He swiftly killed several Earth Origin Fourth Layer Demon Beasts.

He glanced briefly outside of the Purple Flame.

High-level combat was still satisfactory.

However, the common City Guards and Demon Hunters had suffered considerable losses.

"Chief Steward Du Hua," Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

"Focus on quickly killing off the numerous ordinary Demon Beasts."

"The Mystic Breakthrough Realm Demon Beasts can just be suppressed."

Xiao Yi had warned them before.

Those three hundred thousand Demon Beasts that Zhou Yueyao had repelled had suffered no casualties.

Now, a new wave of beasts surged out.

Their numbers and strength were far greater than the first batch

With the surge in the number of beasts.

The pressure on the normal human Martial Artists was immense.

If it weren't for the consideration of the tens of thousands of City Guards and Demon Hunters.

Xiao Yi had no interest in dealing with those nonsensical folks on the city wall.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

After swiftly killing several more Earth Origin Realm Demon Beasts.

The pressure on Xiao Yi eased slightly.

He quickly released a large amount of Purple Flame, instantly killing a huge number of the ordinary Demon Beasts.

...

Minutes later.

Forty Earth Origin Realm Demon Beasts.

Half were dead.

Of course, they were mostly beasts from Earth Element First Layer to Fourth Layer.

For those above the Earth Element Fifth Layer.

It was somewhat difficult for Xiao Yi to instantly kill beasts of that power amid the encirclement of so many.

Better to pick the low-hanging fruit and slay the weaker ones.

At the same time.

The Purple Flame Barrier was gradually dissipating under the assault of these Earth Origin Realm Demon Beasts.

The power of the 'Fire Sea' within Xiao Yi was nearly exhausted.

A Fire Sea over a thousand and six hundred zhang wide

Depleted in a matter of minutes.

One could imagine the pressure Xiao Yi faced in stopping these Earth Origin Realm Demon Beasts.

Right then, two streaks of light sped forth from far within Nine River City, heading toward the wall.

In just a few seconds, they had arrived.

"Greetings to the Nine River County Prince and the Sub Hall Master."

The remaining Martial Artists on the wall immediately rejoiced.

"No need for formalities," the Nine River County Prince waved his hand off.

"What has happened?" the Sub Hall Master inquired.

"Just a few minutes ago, we sensed the presence of several dozen Earth Origin Realm Demon Beasts outside Nine River City."

"Why do I see only about half remaining upon our arrival?"

The Martial Artist respectfully replied, "It was General Executor Yi Xiao who stopped them."

Saying this, the Martial Artist pointed to the Purple Flame Barrier in the distance.

"Those evil creatures were trapped by General Executor Yi Xiao in the purple flames."

"If not for General Executor Yi Xiao."

"Nine River City would likely have been breached by now."

Upon hearing this, the Nine River County Prince nodded, "If Nine River City were breached."

"And these Earth Origin Realm Demon Beasts entered."

"The entire Nine River City would be wiped out."

"However, what is the deal with this General Executor Yi Xiao?"

"Since when did your Demon Hunting Hall have such a mighty figure?"

The Nine River County Prince looked toward the Sub Hall Master.

"Purple flames? Yi Xiao?" the Sub Hall Master muttered to himself, seemingly recalling something.

"Never mind, let's eradicate those Demon Beasts first," the Nine River County Prince said.

The two acted instantly.

And both wielded Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

With a loud boom.

In the distance, Xiao Yi's Purple Flame Barrier finally collapsed completely.

Xiao Yi also saw the Nine River County Prince and the Sub Hall Master who had come to help.

"So, you are the Nine River County Prince and the Sub Hall Master of Nine River County?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.

"That's us." They replied while continuing to battle the enemy.

Xiao Yi took one look at them and muttered to himself, "Two Earth Origin Eighth Layer."

"The Martial Arts strength of Nine River County is indeed much stronger than that of Northern Mountain County."

"With Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts in hand, even the Earth Origin Ninth Layer Demon Beasts can be easily slain."

Indeed, the remaining twenty Earth Origin Fifth Layer and above Demon Beasts.

Were being slaughtered, falling incessantly under their swords.

Xiao Yi had long stopped fighting.

He waved his hand and absorbed the Essence Blood and Inner Core from the beasts he had killed.

Then, with a flap of his Purple Flame Fire Wings, he flew away.

"Hmm?" the Nine River County Prince and the Sub Hall Master hurriedly ceased their combat.

"Young man, where are you going?"

From high above, Xiao Yi gave them a cold glance.

"Yi has fulfilled the duties of a Demon Hunter. Since you Nine River County Martial Artists are unwelcome, Yi shall not overstay his welcome."

With that, Xiao Yi said no more.

He completely left.

With the Commandery Prince of Nine River County and the Sub Hall Master, two Earth Origin Eighth Layer Martial Artists joining,

this Beast Tide could no longer pose a threat.

Nine River City was now safe from harm.

"Eh?" Both of them frowned as they saw Xiao Yi disappearing into the distance.

The two of them, not understanding the reason, didn't dwell on it any longer.

After exterminating all the Earth Origin Realm demon beasts,

they immediately helped to slaughter the overwhelming horde of hundreds of thousands of demon beasts.

In less than half an hour, the battle was over.

This Beast Tide also came to a conclusion.

On the city wall,

a group of Martial Artists respectively paid homage to the Commandery Prince of Nine River County and the Sub Hall Master.

"Du Hua, how was the situation in this battle?" asked the Sub Hall Master.

Du Hua respectfully answered, "Reporting to the Sub Hall Master,"

"dozens of Earth Origin Realm demon beasts have all been killed."

"No casualties among the high-end Martial Artists."

"On the side of the Beast Tide, the number of demon beasts was overwhelmingly large,"

"resulting in significant casualties among the City Guards and ordinary Demon Hunters."

"However, overall, the casualties are within an acceptable range."

"At the very least, this Beast Tide is absolutely the worst that Nine River City has faced in decades,"

"yet the casualties among Martial Artists are the least in decades."

"Hmm," the Sub Hall Master and the Commandery Prince of Nine River County nodded in satisfaction.

Casualties were inevitable in repelling a Beast Tide.

It was only a matter of the extent of these casualties.

"All of this is thanks to General Executor Yi Xiao," added Du Hua.

"General Executor Yi Xiao is that young man with a mask, right?" asked the Sub Hall Master.

"Exactly," nodded Du Hua.

"Why did he suddenly leave?" asked the Commandery Prince of Nine River County.

"This time, he has made significant contributions in defending Nine River City against the demon beasts."

"This prince shall reward him handsomely."

Du Hua's expression suddenly turned grim.

He then recounted Xiao Yi's grievances with the Zhou Family and what had just happened.

"He is a Martial Artist from Northern Mountain County," laughed the Commandery Prince of Nine River County.

"Northern Mountain County is known to be the weakest, and our side's Martial Artists ridicule them as such."

"Of course, they can't handle it."

"In other words, he feels inferior."

"Let it be, if he's gone, he's gone."

The Martial Artists by his side readily agreed.

"Commandery Prince is absolutely right," said the Great Elder of the Zhou Family.

"A General Executor of the Demon Hunting Hall oppressing a child of our Zhou Family."

"He has no shame, bullying the weak, hmm."

"It's good that he has left."

"Hahaha," laughed the Commandery Prince of Nine River County. "Let's forget about him."

"This Beast Tide, everyone has contributed."

"This prince orders, let the whole city celebrate."

"Wait," suddenly interrupted the Sub Hall Master.

"Purple Flame, Yi Xiao? Why does this name sound so familiar to me?"

Just then, a Demon Hunting Hall staff member, anxiously, arrived atop the city wall.

"Greetings to the Commandery Prince and Sub Hall Master," the staff member first paid respects to the two of them.

Then turning toward Du Hua, he handed over a document, saying, "General Executor, this is the information you instructed me to retrieve earlier."

"Oh, it must be the information about General Executor Yi Xiao," Du Hua smiled, taking the document.

The information of the Demon Hunting Hall was shared within the same county,

but it was a bit troublesome to access the data of other counties' sub-halls.

Therefore, it took this staff member quite some time,

and he had just brought it now.

Du Hua opened the document, glanced at it, and then his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"What's wrong, Du Hua?" asked the Sub Hall Master.

Du Hua answered, "There's something strange about the document; the information on General Executor Yi Xiao is very vague."

"We only know that General Executor Yi Xiao is a rising genius Martial Artist,"

"and it records some of his accomplishments and recent events."

"Yi Xiao, also known as 'Purple Flame'."

"Half a year ago, the Northern Mountain County faced an imminent Beast Tide."

"He alone, single-handedly, ventured deep into the heart of the Demon Beast Forest."

"And killed the Black Demon Hall Elder 'Old Monster Yougu', who was instigating the demon beasts to attack the city."

"It was only then that the crisis of the Northern Mountain County's Beast Tide was averted."

"One month later, he took part in the Flame Martial Kingdom's alchemy competition."

"In the contest among the surrounding six counties of Northern Mountain County, he shocked everyone with a Perfect Level Sixth-grade Elixir."

With each sentence Du Hua spoke, the expressions of the surrounding Martial Artists changed.

"I've heard of that Old Monster Yougu from Black Demon Hall," said the Great Elder of the Zhou Family, his face showing immense surprise.

"He's a seasoned Earth Origin Realm Martial Artist, not just any Earth Origin Realm fighter can match up to him."

"And this young man managed to kill him?"

The Great Elder of the Xu Family also showed a look of shock, "To be able to refine a Perfect Level Sixth-grade Elixir,"

"proves that this young man is definitely a Sixth-grade Alchemist, and a highly skilled one at that."

"Hmph," snorted the Commandery Prince of Nine River County.

"No matter how formidable, he's just a genius."

"Our Sword Master of Nine River County, Zhou Yueyao, is one of the Thirty-Six Sword Masters."

"Her future achievements may well surpass his."

But at this moment, the Sub Hall Master's face changed.

"No, this is bad."

"No wonder I found the name so familiar."

"A genius Demon Hunter, a genius Fire Control Warrior, a genius Alchemist."

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, that person just now was Purple Flame Yi Xiao."
