Soul Emperor Martial God

The murderous intent in the air was extremely intense.

Xiao Yi truly harbored a desire to kill.

Bai Mohan frowned but remained unmoved.

"If we disagree, you want to kill me."

"What grudge do you have against me?"

"No grudge," Xiao Yi said coldly.

"I don't need a reason to kill."

Xiao Yi wasn't lying; there was no grudge between him and Bai Mohan.

The grudge was between Elder Yi and Bai Mohan.

And Xiao Yi would settle these grudges for Elder Yi.

"How arrogant," Bai Mohan said with a faint smile.

"If you put away your hostility,"

"I think we can be friends, even good friends."

In the Royal Capital, Bai Mohan's reputation and status far exceeded expectations.

To be his friend, especially when he took the initiative,

Absolutely no one would be unwilling.

"Bai Mohan," Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

The next second, he withdrew his murderous intent.

Seeing this, Bai Mohan suddenly smiled.

"It seems you've agreed."

Xiao Yi shook his head, then left on his own, passing Bai Mohan.

"What do you mean?" Bai Mohan frowned as he watched Xiao Yi's retreating figure.

Xiao Yi didn't look back, his voice indifferent, "Bai Mohan, you hide it very well."

"On the surface, you seem flawless, perfect."

"But inside, it's not the case."

"You can't fool me."

"One day, we will have our battle, but for today, let's leave things be."

Xiao Yi was confident he could kill Bai Mohan.

But he also knew it would come at a great cost.

Moreover, he remembered the reason he came to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

It was to understand the events of Elder Yi's past.

Now was not the time to kill.

"What, you're leaving just like that?" Bai Mohan's expression suddenly turned cold.

A force of Heaven and Earth Power instantly restrained Xiao Yi.

"Sword momentum?" Xiao Yi stopped in his tracks, scoffing with disdain.

Rumors had it that Bai Mohan's strength was formidable.

His talent so great, he mastered more than half of the Sect's swordsmanship.

He was never defeated, needless to say.

Even more frightening was that every Martial Artist who crossed swords with him was defeated by a different sword technique of his.

Yes, just sword technique.

They didn't even qualify to force him to use his Martial Soul Power.

This also contributed to his myth in the Royal Capital.

Powerful, invincible.

"Break," Xiao Yi uttered sharply.

The Heaven and Earth Power that had restrained him dispersed in an instant.

"Hm?" Bai Mohan narrowed his eyes, "Such domineering sword momentum."

"This must be the Sword Dao Knowledge of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon."

Xiao Yi didn't respond.

Bai Mohan also did not strike again.

After a while, Xiao Yi had walked far away.

Only then did Bai Mohan chuckle coldly, his eyes full of chilling intent.

"Hehe, before long, I will destroy you with my own hands."

...

Xiao Yi had already left the Sect.

And at that time, within the bamboo forest of the Sect,

Those two women were still in the pavilion.

Bai Bingxue, caressing the zither.

The other woman, sitting by the railing.

"Hm?" Suddenly, the woman furrowed her brows.

"Bingxue, go back and rest."

"Let's end today's cultivation here."

Bai Bingxue ceased her zither playing and asked in confusion, "Master, are we ending cultivation so early today?"

"Yes," the woman nodded and said, "I don't feel like listening to zither music today."

"You go practice your sword."

"If you're tired, then rest."

"Yes, Master," Bai Bingxue bowed and then slowly withdrew, leaving the pavilion.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the pavilion.

It was the Sect's Great Elder.

"Senior," the Great Elder bowed deeply to the woman.

"Hm," the woman nodded.

A pot of fragrant tea sat on the stone table in the pavilion.

The woman helped herself to a cup and took a light sip.

But she didn't invite the Great Elder.

"Has that boy left the Sect?" the woman asked after setting down her teacup.

"Yes, he's just gone," replied the Great Elder.

"When leaving, he ran into Bai Mohan and nearly came to blows."

"I think this must be the Sect Master's way of indirectly driving him out."

"And making him bear resentment."

"Heh," the woman chuckled lightly.

"On a mere guess,"

"You want to crush an unrivaled genius."

"This Sect Master seems to be regressing more and more."

The Great Elder smiled wryly.

There were few in the entire Sect who dared to criticize the Sect Master like that.

"If a Sect fears a disciple because his talent is astonishing,"

"And his potential talent can shake the older generation in the future,"

"And therefore they are apprehensive and even suppress him,"

"Such a Sect won't be far from destruction," the woman said indifferently, as if speaking of something utterly commonplace.

The Great Elder bowed and said, "You are absolutely right, Senior."

"But..." At this moment, the woman frowned.

"If he really is Tianxing's disciple, that could complicate things."

Tianxing?

The Great Elder's face twitched.

"Absolutely impossible," the Great Elder said firmly.

"If the Northern Mountain Sword Master was really Tianxing's disciple, how could he dare come to the Sect?"

Hearing this, the woman took another sip of her fragrant tea and said, "Let's not worry about it now. We'll discuss this matter later."

"Which Martial Arts Stele did that boy comprehend?" she suddenly asked.

"That…" the Great Elder hesitated, "I don't know."

"I thought he would need at least a month to succeed in comprehension."

"I didn't expect that when I went again, he had already finished."

"Oh?" the woman laughed, "He does have talent."

"I'll go take a look."

With that, the woman's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Before long, within the space of the Martial Arts Stele of the Strongest Sword Master from past generations.

The woman appeared out of nowhere.

The Great Elder, not long after, hastened over as well.

The pavilion was not far from those two barriers.

"He chose the Frost Sword then," the woman said, looking in the direction of the three Divine Swords.

There, only the Frost Sword was missing.

"Yes," nodded the Great Elder.

With a smile, the woman said, "Since he acquired my Ice Sword Gang,"

"He naturally chose the Frost Sword."

Her Ice Sword Gang?

At that moment, the woman looked at the 23 huge steles in front of her.

The next second, her eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

Seeing this, the Great Elder beside her asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"

The woman, whose expression had always been indifferent, suddenly showed a look of shock and turned toward the steles on her own.

"The power of 22 steles has been weakened."

Speaking, the woman closed her eyes and sensed for a moment.

"Indeed," the woman exclaimed, "That young man comprehended 22 Martial Arts Steles."

"What? That's impossible," the Great Elder said, his face filled with disbelief.

"Let alone the fact that the more steles you try to comprehend, the greater the difficulty, it even skyrockets."

"In just one month's time, how could it be possible to fully comprehend them all?"

The woman said in amazement, talking to herself, "To what extent is that young man's talent monstrous?"

"No," she suddenly shook her head.

"Even with monstrous talent, it shouldn't be possible to have such speed."

"What exactly happened during that one month?"

Speaking, the woman waved her hand grandly.

All of a sudden, four huge blocks of Cold Ice appeared out of thin air around the space.

The ice was smooth and transparent, like four giant mirrors.

"Condense," the woman uttered in a low shout.

In those four mirrors, images instantly appeared.

The images were exactly of Xiao Yi's time comprehending the steles.

From the first day he entered the space to a month later when he left.

All situations were displayed in the images.

In fact, these four blocks of Cold Ice were the woman's means of protecting the space.

But as a result, they had completely recorded every action Xiao Yi took that month.

The woman watched the images attentively.

Once she saw the knowledge on the Martial Arts Stele suddenly turning into text,

And four lively creatures frantically plundering those texts,

Her complexion changed drastically once more.

It was a look of shock, a look of disbelief.

"How could it be, how could it be," the woman unconsciously repeated twice.

"Martial Arts True Intent, it's actually Martial Arts True Intent."

If Xiao Yi were here, he would be greatly surprised.

The reason his Xingyi Five Extremes were so powerful was wholly because he had comprehended the Martial Arts True Intent in his previous life.

And after arriving in this world, he had never heard the words "Martial Arts True Intent."

He had always thought that Martial Arts Knowledge in this world did not include "Martial Arts True Intent."

But clearly, he was wrong.

"Senior, what is Martial Arts True Intent?" the Great Elder asked, puzzled.

"Is that thing very powerful?"

"What do you know," the woman scolded.

"Even someone of my level of Cultivation cannot possess Martial Arts True Intent."

"It is the mark of having fully mastered a type of martial arts."

"Those four lively creatures represent four complete types of martial arts."

"Complete martial arts?" The Great Elder's face was filled with horror.

"That means, that young man's strength has already..."

"No," the woman shook her head, "It's just a mark; it's of no help to one's strength."

"It's not a realm either; it just means that young man possesses Martial Arts Knowledge beyond my level."

"Without the corresponding Cultivation, yet with far-superior Martial Arts Knowledge?" The Great Elder was even more puzzled.

"That is what's called a genius, a true genius," the woman said.

She emphasized the word "true" heavily.

"And those texts." The woman's expression became serious, "To think it could turn the rigid Martial Arts Knowledge into a flexible text."

"What in the world is that?"

"That young man has a martial arts stronger than the Sword Dao."

"Knowledge in form, text in intent."

"Transforming form to intent, he directly incorporated all Martial Arts Knowledge into himself."

"No wonder he was able to comprehend the steles of the Strongest Sword Master in just a short month."

"Transforming form to intent? What kind of martial arts is that?" the Great Elder asked.

"I don't know," the woman shook her head, "Death is life, life is death."

"All things in heaven and earth are within a single thought of his."

"What kind of monster is this?"

As she spoke, the woman clenched her fists tight.

Then, with a grand wave of her hand, the four Ice Crystals completely shattered to dust, never to exist again.

"Remember, today's events cannot be divulged," the woman spoke gravely.

"Yes, Senior," the Great Elder answered earnestly.

"Pass down my order," the woman commanded solemnly, "From today forth, the Sect must no longer target him."

"No title shall be conferred, but he shall enjoy the treatment and rights of an elder."

"This..." The Great Elder hesitated for a moment, "But, what about the Sect Master..."

"No buts," the woman scolded. "Tell him,"

"If that young man is missing a single hair, he doesn't need to be Sect Master anymore."

"Yes, Senior Swordswoman," the Great Elder said, startled, and promptly saluted.

He was well aware of the weight of the woman's words.

Indeed, the woman was the second legendary figure in the history of the Sect, the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden.

If at the time Xiao Yi was careful enough in the temple hall of the Sect.

He would have discovered.

In the hall, there were Spiritual Tablets for all the ancestors.

Except for one person.

It was none other than the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was unaware of these things.

He had already left the Sect and was heading towards Meteor County.

At the same time, within the Royal Capital, the name of the Northern Mountain Sword Master began to spread.

The dispute in the Sect Square that day was being noisily discussed.

This generation's Strongest Sword Master, inheritor of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon's legacy,

Reputed to be a future Extreme Realm Expert.

Only, thanks to the intentional spreading by some,

Before this future Extreme Realm Expert were added the words 'Fire Control Beast with Wasted Martial Soul.'

Immediately, it became a laughingstock throughout the entire Royal Capital.

The third update.
