Soul Emperor Martial God

On the immense Martial Arts Arena, it was divided into four sections.

Xiao Yi and his three companions each fought their own battles without interfering with each other.

There was no need to say more about the Meteor Sword Master and Jie Mo.

There was no problem there.

It was the same for Xiao Yi's side.

Quite a few people were old rivals,

like the Black Moon Sword Master and the Anyun Sword Master.

However, on Zhong Wuyou's side, since there was a Wanshan Sword Master among the eleven,

the pressure was not small.

"The riffraff from Northern Mountain County has finally been isolated," Wanshan Sword Master said coldly as he stared at Zhong Wuyou.

"Last time, you had the protection of the Northern Mountain Sword Master."

"This time, in all four sections, there are barriers set by the elders."

"I'd like to see who can save you now."

"Last time?" Zhong Wuyou sneered.

"Do you still have the face to mention it? I really doubt there's anything but mush in that Sword Master's head of yours."

"If it weren't for that bastard Northern Mountain Sword Master suddenly knocking me out,"

"would you even be alive to talk to me now?"

"But," Zhong Wuyou's expression turned icier, "there was one thing that bastard Northern Mountain Sword Master didn't get wrong."

"You are very forgetful."

"What do you mean?" Wanshan Sword Master's complexion changed.

He was now extremely sensitive to the words 'forgetful.'

As soon as he heard them, an unease grew inside his heart.

"I have told you before," said Zhong Wuyou, his face cold as ice, now turned to murderous intent.

"Dare to speak ill of the Martial Artists from Northern Mountain County again,

"and I will tear your mouth apart."

No sooner had his voice fallen, Zhong Wuyou's figure flashed, instantly making a move.

"Hmph, I thought you were going to say something worthwhile," Wanshan Sword Master said with a disdainful face.

"A mere Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer is not even fit to carry my shoes."

"This is not a forest, there's no huge wood attribute Spiritual Energy, I would like to see how you can boost your Cultivation."

His mouth spoke with contempt.

But Wanshan Sword Master had already suffered enough these days,

so he still gripped his sword tightly, ready to respond to any attack.

Yet, contrary to his expectations,

Zhong Wuyou made no move against him.

Instead, he struck out at other Sword Masters and newly promoted disciples.

And his movements seemed somewhat strange.

On another battlefield,

Xiao Yi was fighting with the Sword Masters while keeping an eye on the situation in the other battlefields.

Honestly, dealing with the Black Moon Sword Master, the Anyun Sword Master, and those new disciples

exerted no pressure on him.

The Black Moon Sword Master, at Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer, still had some ability.

The others, not enough to be feared.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to end the fight.

He was waiting.

"Hmm? Could that be the Absorption Palm?" Xiao Yi frowned when he saw Zhong Wuyou's combat style.

The Absorption Palm was very famous,

a wood attribute, Earth-rank Peak Technique.

One of the most precious techniques of the Ten Thousand Wood Hall of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

In Ten Thousand Wood Hall, only those who reached the elder level were qualified to Cultivate it.

Its effect, as the name suggested, was to absorb the True Qi from others' bodies for one's own use,

providing a brief boost to one's own strength.

Presumably, the greatest opportunity that Zhong Wuyou gained from the Sword Pavilion trial

was this technique.

Besides, he also had two more fortunes, which were two Hundred Profound Treasure Fruits.

Therefore, his present Cultivation was not Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer but Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer.

On the other side, at Zhong Wuyou's battlefield,

his figure kept flickering.

One by one, Sword Masters and new disciples were caught by him.

Hands formed into claw shapes.

A burst of green Mist Energy erupted from within his body.

Under the guidance of the green Mist Energy, the True Qi from within the Sword Masters and disciples' bodies was continuously absorbed.

And his Cultivation was rising swiftly.

Wanshan Sword Master, seeing this, would not allow him to continue.

"Hmm? Absorption Palm? Hmph, don't think you can keep sucking it up,"

Wanshan Sword Master moved and struck his sword towards Zhong Wuyou.

"Hmph, now you come to stop me, too late," Zhong Wuyou scoffed.

Then, with a wave of his hand,

the green Mist Energy became even richer.

In that brief period of time, he had already drained the True Qi of six people.

Now, both hands working together, the True Qi from four others was rushing towards his body.

At the same time, Zhong Wuyou gently drew his dagger,

and clashed with Wanshan Sword Master.

The result,

was that Zhong Wuyou did not budge an inch,

while Wanshan Sword Master was sent back several steps.

"How is this possible? In such a short amount of time, he's achieved Earth Element First Layer Cultivation?"

Wanshan Sword Master was shocked.

The powerful technique that all previous generation elders of Ten Thousand Wood Hall needed to Cultivate was naturally no ordinary one.

However, it seemed that Zhong Wuyou was still unskilled.

Otherwise, the absorption speed would have been faster.

Several seconds later, the True Qi of the remaining four people was also absorbed by him.

11 people, except for the Wanshan Sword Master, the other 10 people, all collapsed weakly to the ground, no longer able to fight.

The Absorption Palm is not some wicked Cultivation Technique.

These 10 people are merely temporarily weakened, they will recover after some time of rest and cultivation.

"Ha ha ha ha, as a fellow Earth Element First Layer..."

"What qualifications do you have to be arrogant in front of this young master?"

Zhong Wuyou burst into laughter.

As his laughter just fell...

A quarter of the Martial Arts Arena suddenly turned into a miniature dense forest.

In the forest, there were all kinds of strange flowers and unusual herbs.

Some were highly poisonous, others attacked in strange ways.

Zhong Wuyou's figure, however, completely vanished.

The Wanshan Sword Master couldn't help but swallow, his hand gripping the sword grew even tighter.

Hiss...

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.

A line of blood streaked across his chest.

Hiss... Hiss...

One bloodstain after another kept appearing.

The Wanshan Sword Master's body ached, but his heart trembled even more with shock.

On another side, within Xiao Yi's area...

Xiao Yi retracted his gaze from watching Zhong Wuyou's battle and suddenly smiled subtly.

The strength that Zhong Wuyou was now displaying slightly surprised him.

Zhong Wuyou truly lived up to his reputation as a battle enthusiast.

And a Martial Arts prodigy.

Two years had passed since they'd seen each other, and he must have undergone significant training.

To possess such formidable combat methods today.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Wanshan Sword Master would surely be defeated by him.

Several minutes later.

Xiao Yi glanced at the battles in the other areas.

"The fights should end now," Xiao Yi said with a faint smile.

With an easy swing of his Blood Slaughter Sword, he sent forth a dozen streaks of Sword Qi, easily injuring the 12 people in front of him.

"Bring out your strongest attacks," Xiao Yi said calmly.

The Black Moon Sword Master, Anyun Sword Master, and the others exchanged glances and nodded.

"Northern Mountain Sword Master, you are very strong."

"There's nothing we can do against you even if we join forces."

"In the end, we will only strike once."

"If you can block it, then you win; if not, don't blame us."

"Make your move," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

12 people, their momentum greatly enhanced, in the next second, made their moves together.

"Black Moon Slash, Cloud Shattering, Spirit Light Sword..."

12 people attacked at the same time.

12 attacks came hurling towards him, all High-level Earth Rank or even Peak Earth-rank Martial Techniques.

In fact, whether it was Xiao Yi, Jie Mo, or Liuxing Sword Master.

None of them really took these dozen or so opponents seriously.

After all, their opponents only had Mystic Breakthrough Realm Cultivation.

However, Sword Masters were not the same as ordinary Martial Artists, and could not be measured by the same standards.

Sword Masters, who had pondered over the Martial Arts Inheritance Stele and acquired Advanced Martial Techniques...

The combined attack of a dozen people, all with High-level Earth Rank and Peak Earth-rank Martial Techniques, was indeed terrifying.

At this moment, on Jie Mo and Liuxing Sword Master's side.

The situation was similar.

11 people, unable to overcome them, had to make a final attempt.

That was to unleash Advanced Martial Techniques.

On Zhong Wuyou's side...

Because he made his move too quickly, and his opponents underestimated him too greatly,

They were unable to unleash their Advanced Martial Techniques before he had absorbed all their True Qi.

Of course, across the entire Martial Arts Arena...

More than 30 people released Advanced Martial Techniques simultaneously.

The brilliant display of Mist Energy and the rampant disorder of energies...

It was an extremely spectacular sight.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

A series of dense explosions was heart-shattering.

After the roaring subsided, and the dazzling attribute attacks dissipated...

The victors and losers in the four battle areas had already been determined.

All the Sword Masters and newly promoted disciples lay on the ground, devoid of the ability to fight.

Clearly, they had lost.

Liuxing Sword Master was somewhat disheveled, but he was not seriously affected.

The same went for Jie Mo.

Xiao Yi, however, was completely unharmed.

On Zhong Wuyou's side, no massive use of Martial Techniques had occurred.

The Wanshan Sword Master was being bound by some kind of strange flora.

Zhong Wuyou evidently had no intention of letting him off easily.

Just then, the Great Elder arrived in good time.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the barrier.

"Alright, the fight can now end; you've already proven your strength."

"However, only one person can claim the title of the Strongest Sword Master."

"Next, it will be a fight among the four of you."

The fifth update.
