Soul Emperor Martial God

On the back of the Purple Flame Lion King.

Xiao Yi suppressed the astonishment in his heart and pondered slightly.

After a while, he regained his composure.

At this moment, the Purple Flame Lion King was still in a frenzied state.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, flipped over, and leaped to the ground.

"Stop," Xiao Yi said faintly, "Your Purple Flame can't hurt me."

"With just physical strength, you can't do anything to me either."

The Purple Flame Lion King did not stop.

Instead, it became even more irate.

The Demon Essence within its body surged tremendously, and the Purple Flame swelled to a terrifying level.

Of course, this failed to injure Xiao Yi.

Instead, it caused the power of the Ice Mountain Fire Sea within Xiao Yi's body to deplete at an astonishing rate.

Although Xiao Yi could control the Purple Flame to resist the Purple Flame Lion King's Purple Flame,

the duration would not be long.

Before long, the True Qi in his body would be exhausted.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows again.

Suddenly, an aura that seemed to destroy the heavens and the earth burst forth from his fist.

This aura was filled with destruction and shock.

"Boundary Shattering Fist," Xiao Yi uttered coldly in his heart.

The 10 drops of Asura Power within his body were mobilized in an instant.

Under the power of the Earth Origin's Eighth Layer physical strength, executing this move

was something the Purple Flame Lion King's body could not withstand.

"Come to a stop," Xiao Yi's voice was somewhat cold.

The previously frenzy-stricken Purple Flame Lion King suddenly froze.

It clearly sensed that the aura of the human in front of it threatened its life.

The next second, Xiao Yi stretched out his hand and pressed it against its abdomen.

The Purple Flame Lion King was startled, its body, which had just barely come to a halt, moved cautiously.

"Don't move," Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.

Seconds later, Xiao Yi inwardly exclaimed in his heart, indeed.

In his perception, there truly were three traces of Scorching Fire Poison within the Purple Flame Lion King's body.

These three traces of Scorching Fire Poison were all being suppressed by the Purple Flame Lion King's Demon Essence.

But they had not been eliminated.

If not removed promptly, the three flames would eventually erupt within its body, burning until its heart was destroyed.

"No wonder you incited the Beast Tide," Xiao Yi said solemnly to himself.

"Knowing you were bound to die, you decided to take revenge on human martial artists."

The Purple Flame Lion King was an extremely rare demon beast.

Xiao Yi himself reckoned that he had braved through more than half of the Demon Beast Forests in the Flame Martial Kingdom.

He had even encountered Seventh-level demon beasts.

But he had never come across a Purple Flame Lion King.

Unexpectedly, there was one in Flame County.

Previously, when the Purple Flame Lion King had appeared, Xiao Yi had also been extremely puzzled.

This type of demon beast was very proud, and disdained making an appearance before humans.

It was even less likely to initiate a Beast Tide.

At least, according to the records of the Demon Hunting Hall.

In history, there had never been a Beast Tide related to the Purple Flame Lion King.

The few records that existed described human Heavenly Origin Realm martial artists who actively sought out challenges against the Purple Flame Lion King.

Only now did he understand the reason.

With a thud,

a flash of Purple Flame passed through Xiao Yi's hand.

With precise control, the Purple Flame entered the Lion King's body and easily eradicated the three traces of Scorching Fire Poison.

The Purple Flame that destroyed everything could easily eliminate the Scorching Fire Poison.

However, demon beasts did not possess the sophisticated methods of human alchemists.

Naturally, the Purple Flame Lion King could only suppress it by itself but was unable to eliminate it.

As the Scorching Fire Poison dissipated from its body, the Purple Flame Lion King felt a relaxation within.

Its large eyes looked at Xiao Yi and blinked humanly.

Then, it seemed to understand Xiao Yi's words, and its massive head nodded.

After that, it slightly lowered its head and rubbed against Xiao Yi's front.

Firstly, the scent of the Purple Flame on Xiao Yi felt familiar to it.

Secondly, it was expressing gratitude to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi stretched his hand out and patted its head, then patting it again and spoke indifferently, "Go back."

The Purple Flame Lion King shook its head, displaying an arrogant demeanor once more.

With a roar that shook the heavens, the hundreds of thousands of demon beasts lying on the ground all stood up.

The next second, the Purple Flame Lion King's body turned into a streak of flowing light, retreating back to the Demon Beast Forest.

Countless demon beasts, following its figure, evacuated en masse.

Xiao Yi offered a faint smile, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long while, his expression turned solemn once again.

The Flame Holy Sect always put him on alert, even making him feel somewhat uneasy.

...

As all the demon beasts departed, this beast tide came to an end.

But the battleground, with its tens of thousands of human martial artists' corpses,

Hundreds of thousands of demon beast corpses,

And the shattered earth stained red with blood,

All spoke of the ferocity of the prior battle.

"General Executor Yi Xiao."

As the beast tide receded, the human martial artists naturally returned.

Zhang Huo was the first to approach Xiao Yi, offering a respectful bow.

Then he bowed deeply.

Xiao Yi stepped slightly to the side, frowning, "Chief Steward Zhang Huo, what is the meaning of this?"

Zhang Huo shook his head, saying, "It's just a sign of respect."

"But you even chased away the Purple Flame Lion King."

"To what extent has General Executor Yi Xiao's strength reached?"

"No wonder at such a young age you have such a formidable reputation."

At this moment, five elders at the Half-step Heavenly Origin level also hurried back.

They stared at Xiao Yi with looks of astonishment.

"Incredible, incredible."

"You really are a fearsome young talent."

Xiao Yi waved his hand, speaking indifferently, "Chief Steward Zhang Huo."

"The battle has just ended, and there are many affairs to take care of in the aftermath; it's not easy. Best to start preparing."

"Alright," Zhang Huo nodded.

"Everyone contributed to thwarting this beast tide."

"Of course, the greatest merit belongs to General Executor Yi Xiao."

"I will report the facts to the Main Hall and record the merits."

At this moment, the City Lord of Fire Cloud City added, "After this great battle, we've all survived a calamity."

"This city lord plans to celebrate citywide for three days as a reward."

"I've heard that General Executor Yi Xiao always arrives without a shadow and leaves without a trace."

"This time, could you do us the honor of staying a few more days, and allow this city lord to play host?"

Xiao Yi waved his hand, about to decline.

Suddenly, a roar resounded throughout the area.

"Ha ha ha ha, no need for the Fire Cloud City Lord to trouble himself."

From a distance, an intense aura approached.

Looking from afar, it seemed like a vast expanse of red glow.

The martial artists on the scene were puzzled, "The Flame Holy Sect?"

Indeed, as the red glow approached,

Hundreds from the Flame Holy Sect surrounded Xiao Yi, Zhang Huo, and the others.

The leader was the elder from the Flame Holy Sect who had previously driven away the Flame Martial Guard.

"Elder Huo, what does this mean?" Zhang Huo asked sternly.

"Ha ha," Elder Huo laughed, "Such a severe beast tide."

"Our Flame Holy Sect had intended to come and assist."

"We didn't expect you all to be so powerful and resolve it so quickly."

"To express our apologies, this elder hopes to host a banquet for you all at the Holy Sect."

"There will be fine wines and dishes, and cultivation items galore."

"This…" Zhang Huo hesitated.

"Elder Huo, after a long and arduous battle, we are already exhausted."

"If we have to make a long and arduous journey to the Flame Holy Sect, I fear it will be even more strenuous."

"The banquet is just a meal; holding it in Flame City would be just fine."

Although one could see the Flame Sacred Mountain from Fire Cloud City,

And the Flame Holy Sect was beside the Flame Sacred Mountain,

It was only because the Flame Sacred Mountain was incredibly vast.

The actual distance from Fire Cloud City to the Flame Sacred Mountain was still extremely far.

"This is not for you to decide," Elder Huo suddenly sneered.

"Either follow this elder to the Holy Sect,"

"Or, I shall end you all with the palm of my hand right now."

"Choose one."

"What?" Zhang Huo and the others' faces changed color.

...

Second update.
