Soul Emperor Martial God

The Sword Master explained once.

Xiao Yi roughly understood.

These nearly thousand people were genius martial artists from various counties.

However, they were not disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect from each county.

The Sky-splitting Sword Sect was the Martial Arts Holy Land of the entire Flame Martial Kingdom.

Naturally, any genius martial artist was eligible to join.

Whether from the Royal Capital or the various counties.

Let's set aside those from the Royal Capital.

And the geniuses from various counties.

Normally, they should first join the Sky-splitting Sword Sect in their own county.

Then become the Chief, comprehend the Martial Arts Stele.

Lastly, either become a Sword Master or follow a Sword Master to the Sword Sect.

But, there were some individual geniuses who perhaps found it troublesome or did not want to waste time.

Or maybe they had sufficient confidence.

They could skip joining a Sword Sect and directly come to the Sword Sect to participate in the assessment.

Of course, the assessment of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was extremely difficult.

Others had previously participated in their county's Sky-splitting Sword Sect assessment.

But had failed.

They came to the Sword Sect to try their luck in the assessment.

In any case, geniuses from the entire Flame Martial Kingdom could join the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

They could directly come to participate in the entrance examination on the day of its founding.

As long as they had the skill to pass.

And this time, the test given by the Sky-splitting Sword Sect to these geniuses coming directly for the assessment was this.

To compete against teams from various Sword Sect branches.

As long as they won, they could pass the assessment and join the Sword Sect.

Undoubtedly, this was very difficult.

Each Sword Master was the most outstanding Sword Dao genius in their county.

And the ordinary geniuses from those counties could not compare.

Naturally, these people had to team up.

They even formed an extremely large team.

Returning to the main point.

Previously, the Sect Deacon had entered the forest.

To notify the various Sword Master teams of this new challenge.

However, at that time Xiao Yi and Ye Ming and others were in the cave.

And Xiao Yi had cautiously set up a Spiritual Energy Restriction to isolate their presence.

Ordinary deacons naturally could not ignore Xiao Yi's restriction.

Let alone find Xiao Yi.

Nor could they inform him of the new challenge.

At this point, that Sword Master quickly finished explaining.

The nearly thousand martial artists around him slowly tightened the encirclement.

The leading ten coldly sneered, "Hmph, is the Sword Master so great?"

"Isn't he just going to obediently hand over the sword points to us?"

"Damn it." A few Sword Masters cursed angrily.

"A bunch of rabble, if it weren't for your numbers."

"You think you have the right to be presumptuous in front of us?"

Saying this, a few Sword Masters looked towards Xiao Yi.

"Northern Mountain Sword Master, let's break out together."

"We few Sword Masters are not afraid of them."

"It's only because we need to take care of the disciples that we got injured."

"You are a Ten-Percent Extreme Boundary Stele Sword Master with superior strength."

"With you joining, we have a greater chance."

These four Sword Masters all had Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer Cultivation.

They were naturally not afraid of those ten Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layer.

However, they still had to protect the disciples they led.

Otherwise, if a Sword Sect disciple was captured and had their sword points taken,

They would have to divide their sword points among the disciples to prevent them from being eliminated,

And Sword Sect disciples could easily be caught again.

In this way,

The four Sword Masters' sword points would quickly be depleted.

"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded.

He too was not afraid of nearly a thousand people; he just needed to protect Ye Ming and others.

"You guys find a direction to break through."

"I'll cover the rear."

"Alright," the four Sword Masters nodded.

"No escape," the leading ten Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layer sneered.

"A bunch of clowns." The four Sword Masters coldly laughed.

The four attacked, unleashing a series of Earth-class Advanced Martial Techniques toward the front.

Easily sending nearly hundred encirclers flying.

Then, the four opened the way while the other Sword Sect disciples followed in their path.

Xiao Yi, holding the Unrivaled Sword, waited in place.

Unleashing countless Sword Qi to block the pursuers,

In just over a dozen seconds, the four Sword Masters and the other Sword Sect disciples all escaped.

Only Xiao Yi was left at the scene.

"Damn it, they all got away." The leading ten's faces were filled with rage.

Unlike the various Sword Sects' Sword Masters and disciples, they couldn't directly join the Sword Sect.

According to the rules,

After seven days, they didn't need to count the number of people.

As long as a single person's sword points ranked within the top 36, they could join the Sword Sect.

Moreover, if they defeated a Sword Master,

They could also receive the rewards originally meant for the Sword Master's assessment.

Even perhaps,

The reward for the title of 'Strongest Sword Master.'

If they could defeat all the Sword Masters.

The strongest among them, although he couldn't gain the title,

would still receive the substantial reward that came with it.

Naturally, these nearly thousand people had all gone mad.

"Hmph, only one guy left," the leader of the ten said coldly as he looked toward Xiao Yi.

"From what those four Sword Masters said, you are the Northern Mountain Sword Master."

"The weakest county's Sword Master."

"Dare to mess up our good thing, you're looking for death."

"You Sword Masters, each one of you is a heavenly talent within the Sword Sect."

"We can't kill you, but in the battle, accidents can happen, who can say?"

"Like, crippling."

The leading ten chuckled sinisterly.

Then, with a wave of his hand.

"Go, cripple this kid."

Almost a thousand people surged toward Xiao Yi like wolves and tigers.

Xiao Yi remained unmoved and asked indifferently, "You all have sword points, right?"

The leading ten said coldly, "Yes, but only one point."

"Not like you guys, with lots of privileges, directly having 100 points."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded.

"Having sword points is good."

Now, in his eyes.

These nearly thousand people were just a number of sword points.

"Sea Covering Slash," Xiao Yi shouted softly.

Sword sounds like a tide, instantly spreading in all directions.

In just a few seconds,

Nearly a thousand people fell down like harvested wheat.

Spitting blood, their faces pale.

"How... how strong... how is this possible..." The ten Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layers, revealed shocked expressions.

Xiao Yi took out the Sword Master Token, and gently inhaled.

Nearly a thousand sword points, collected into his pocket.

"I don't know if killing is allowed in the Sect's assessment."

"This time, I'll spare your lives."

Having said that, Xiao Yi turned his head coldly, and his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.

On the other side.

Four Sword Masters, leading their disciples, had already distanced themselves.

Ye Ming and the others suddenly stopped, their faces showing concern.

"Just Junior Brother Xiao Yi alone, I'm not sure if he can withstand those nearly thousand people."

Ye Ming said with concern.

"Don't worry," one of the Sword Masters said.

"That's a Ten-Percent Extreme Boundary Stele Sword Master, and also has Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Cultivation, he won't easily be defeated."

"I think he should be able to break through and catch up with us soon."

Yui Rulong also said, "Brother Ye Ming, just relax."

"Xiao Yi is a freak, we have never seen him defeated yet."

"Let's leave first, lest those crazy people catch up to us later."

Ye Ming and Yui Rulong, along with others, talked with worry.

But they didn't notice that among the disciples led by the four Sword Masters,

One of them suddenly sneered sinisterly.

And then, he whispered something to one of the Sword Masters.

The expressions of the four Sword Masters suddenly changed.

The person whispered, "Take advantage of the Northern Mountain Sword Master's absence, and seize their sword points."

"We four major families will share equally."

"I heard about the sword points from those useless teams from Anyun Sword Master."

"They were all snatched by the disciples from the Northern Mountain County."

"That's a substantial number of sword points."

The four Sword Masters were obviously tempted.

But they quickly shook their heads.

"Without the Northern Mountain Sword Master, we wouldn't be able to break out," one Sword Master said.

Another Sword Master also said, "Indeed, we mustn't return a favor with ingratitude."

Most who could become Sword Masters were proud and steadfast in their sword hearts.

They disdained doing some underhanded things.

One of the Sword Masters laughed and said, "Wait for the Northern Mountain Sword Master to return."

"It's one thing to compete and win their sword points."

"But to take advantage of others' misfortune, forget it."

"What Sword Master Xingmo said is very true," the three Sword Masters nodded.

Then, Sword Master Xingmo glared fiercely at the one who had suggested the sordid idea.

That person shrunk his head, not daring to speak again.

The next second, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

It was Xiao Yi.

"If you wish to compete, I'm always ready," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

Clearly, he had arrived earlier and had heard everything they said,

but had not revealed himself until now.

The four Sword Masters, feeling quite embarrassed, bowed their hands, "Worthy of being the Northern Mountain Sword Master."

"To be able to break through so quickly."

They had just arrived, and Xiao Yi was already catching up with them.

Seeing Xiao Yi return, Ye Ming and the others were overjoyed.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yi, those guys didn't manage to take your sword points, right?"

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head. "In a while, a Deacon will lead them out of the forest."

"What?" The four Sword Masters' expressions changed.

Being led out of the forest by a Deacon only had one reason.

That is, having no sword points left.

Could it be that those nearly thousand warriors, including ten Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layers,

have all been defeated by the Northern Mountain Sword Master in such a short time?

Second update.
