Soul Emperor Martial God

Tens of thousands of martial artists, whether from families or independent, as well as demon hunters,

joined together in resistance, the scene was magnificently vast.

Together, they could form a considerably strong force.

However, they lacked a strong and powerful leader,

such as a tremendously powerful Heavenly Origin Realm practitioner.

"Stop," Elder Huo shouted.

Two other elders at his side also made their moves concurrently.

The combined imposition from the three Heavenly Origin Realm practitioners instantly made it difficult for the tens of thousands of martial artists to move.

The oppressive aura, heavy as a mountain, left them gasping for air.

"Hmph, a bunch of hard nuts," Elder Huo snorted disdainfully.

"Once you take the Devouring Essence Pill,"

"the inhuman torment will make you submit willingly."

The torment from the Scorching Fire Pill is undoubtedly worse than death.

At that moment, even death would seem like a luxury.

The disciples of the Flame Holy Sect around them already held Devouring Essence Pills,

ready to force-feed them to all the martial artists.

Just then, a loud shout rang out.

"Break!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand grandly, and a surge of Purple Flames poured out.

Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, destroying everything.

Even the elusive oppressive prohibition could be burned.

The flames quickly leapt forward, autonomously forming a Flame Barrier.

Seconds later, the prohibition was burnt away.

Tens of thousands of martial artists regained their freedom once again.

"Flame Holy Sect, thinking of controlling me? Dream on."

"Let's just fight you."

The tens of thousands of martial artists launched a crazed attack.

Sword Qi, Sword Energy, Palm Wind...all kinds of attacks rained down like a deluge.

Fire Attribute True Qi, Wind Attribute True Qi, Wood Attribute True Qi...

All kinds of True Qi, dazzling yet extremely fierce.

In an instant, the entire plaza of the Flame Holy Sect descended into chaos and frenzy.

All martial artists were fighting as they retreated.

They didn't aim to escape completely,

but to save as many as possible.

Xiao Yi and Zhang Huo then soared upward.

The status of Chief Steward of the Demon Hunting Hall was enough to prevent the people of the Flame Holy Sect from killing them rashly.

The two, like two sharp knives, cleaved a path forward.

Any Flame Holy Sect disciple or steward in the way was killed.

"These two bastards, does the old man dare not kill them?" Elder Huo would not allow them to act so recklessly.

In a flash, he appeared in front of them.

With just one punch, Zhang Huo was sent flying.

"Puh." Zhang Huo spewed out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

"Chief Steward Zhang Huo," Xiao Yi shouted, "keep paving the way, take everyone and go."

After speaking, Xiao Yi alone confronted Elder Huo.

A surge of Purple Flame formed a circle around them.

Encircling himself with Elder Huo.

On the other side, Zhang Huo urgently said, "What? General Executor Yi Xiao, you plan to cover our retreat alone again?"

"Absolutely not."

"We leave together, or we die together."

The staff of the Demon Hunting Hall were all standout demon hunters who had accumulated sufficient merits to be promoted from stewards to chief stewards.

Every member of the Demon Hunting Hall was accustomed to braving dangers and had experienced various crises.

For many of them, life and death were long disregarded.

Zhang Huo, with his proud and unyielding spirit, said,

"Stop wasting words." Xiao Yi shouted angrily, "If you don't want to burden me, then hurry up and go."

Xiao Yi was telling the truth.

He was not sure about others, but if he were alone, he was certain he could safely escape the Flame Holy Sect, though it might come at a great cost.

Hearing this, Zhang Huo gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resolve.

"General Executor Yi Xiao, I, Zhang Huo, owe you my life."

"Once I have led everyone safely away from the Flame Holy Sect, I will definitely return to fight alongside you."

After saying this, Zhang Huo turned away resentfully,

paving the way forward once again.

With his Earth Origin Ninth Layer cultivation and extraordinary combat prowess,

as long as the elders of the Flame Holy Sect did not intervene, no one could stop him.

At that time, within the Purple Flame Barrier,

Elder Huo looked disdainfully at Xiao Yi but did not immediately make his move.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, I've heard much about you." Elder Huo said coldly with a smile.

"Our Flame Holy Sect is famously based on the Fire Dao."

"Joining us should be something you, a martial artist of the Fire Dao, would dream of, right?"

Elder Huo was not in a hurry, nor was Xiao Yi.

The longer the time, the more people could escape from the sect.

"Good cultivation resources, a suitable sect, of course, are excellent," Xiao Yi said calmly.

"However, what is right and wrong, Yi surely can distinguish clearly."

"At least, Yi doesn't think joining the Flame Holy Sect is a good thing."

"Acting against one's conviction is not the martial artist's way."

"You..." Elder Huo's face chilled.

Elder Huo might be tyrannical, but he obviously wasn't the kind of person who was proficient in intrigue or sharp in words.

"Heh," Elder Huo concealed the anger on his face and glanced at the surrounding Purple Flame Barrier.

"What, you think this trick can trap me?"

"Elder Huo can give it a try," Xiao Yi said calmly.

"Hmph." Elder Huo made his move, attempting to break through the Purple Flame Barrier.

Xiao Yi naturally wouldn't just watch; he too immediately struck.

Xiao Yi threw a punch, and Elder Huo did likewise.

The two fists collided.

A violent explosion sounded.

Xiao Yi was instantly knocked back, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Elder Huo, however, remained unmoved.

But at this moment, Elder Huo furrowed his brows tightly.

"What's going on? My strength seems to have decreased."

In his judgment, his punch just now should have been enough to severely injure Yi Xiao.

Xiao Yi sneered inwardly.

The Purple Flame Barrier had long concealed the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, continuing to burn Elder Huo's vitality.

Elder Huo was extremely domineering but also quite underestimating of his opponent.

The time wasted in their recent conversation had already caused him to lose some strength.

Of course, this was only because Elder Huo had intended to capture Xiao Yi alive.

Therefore, he had held back in his recent punch and also misjudged.

The gap between Xiao Yi and Elder Huo was still vast.

"Forget it," Elder Huo shook his head. "I've lost interest in wasting time with you."

As his words fell, Elder Huo struck with all his might.

Capturing Xiao Yi would probably only take an instant.

"Boundary Shattering Fist," Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

A terrifying attack was unleashed in an instant.

"Hmm?" Elder Huo was taken aback, throwing a punch that collided hard with the Boundary Shattering Fist.

With a loud bang,

Elder Huo was forced back several steps.

The Boundary Shattering Fist couldn't injure him, but it barely breached his defenses.

At the same time, the Purple Flame Barrier instantly exploded.

Elder Huo, whose body lacked any defensive True Qi, was instantly blasted, his face a mess.

At this moment, Xiao Yi used the rebound force of the Boundary Shattering Fist to soar into the sky.

The Purple Flame Fire Wings materialized.

With a flash, he rapidly escaped into the distance.

"Thinking of running?" Elder Huo was uncontrollably furious.

"Capture him for me."

Elder Huo bellowed and struck instantly.

The other two elders joined him.

The three planned to capture Yi Xiao with the force of thunder.

From afar, Xiao Yi's speed was extremely fast; within a few breaths, he had already flown over a thousand meters.

Naturally, he wasn't planning to run.

He intended to lure away the three elders.

However, just then, a furious shout stopped the three elders.

"Idiots, don't fall for his trick," said the masked elder, who hadn't struck yet, with a roar.

"That kid is trying to draw you away."

"Hurry back and capture the others. Make them take the Devouring Essence Pill."

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, let me handle him."

Upon hearing this, the trio of Elder Huo instantly grimaced. "Damn, what a cunning kid."

Meanwhile, the strength of the masked elder indeed surpassed that of Elder Huo and the others.

He caught up to Xiao Yi almost instantly.

Blocking Xiao Yi's way.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, indeed as famous as they say," the masked elder stared coldly at Xiao Yi.

"In such a critical situation, still calm and planning every step."

"I've started to take an interest in you."

"But I'm not interested in you," Xiao Yi said with a cold laugh.

In his hands, two flames were instantly thrown.

It was the compressed Purple Flame and the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire.

This was the contingency he had been preparing.

From the moment he entered the Flame Holy Sect, he had been vigilant and prepared.

Xiao Yi, always cautious, would naturally prepare a contingency.

The two flames appeared very quickly and were extremely cunning.

And, having had enough time to compress the flames beforehand,

these two flames indeed consumed more than 90% of the power of the Ice Mountain Fire Sea within Xiao Yi's body.

The power was terrifying.

The next second, as they merged, the power increased several times over.

The masked elder hadn't even reacted yet.

The compressed and merged Purple Flame and Ten Realms Annihilation Fire had already exploded with a boom.

Instantly, heaven and earth lost color.

Within tens of meters around the masked elder, a vacuum zone directly formed.

Seconds later, as the explosive flames dissipated.

The figure of the masked elder appeared inside.

However, apart from looking slightly disheveled, he was completely unharmed.

"What?" Xiao Yi suddenly felt a surge of helplessness.

The strength of the masked elder far exceeded his imagination.

"Boy, I won't spare you," the masked elder revealed his murderous intent.

He hadn't realized that while his body could withstand the explosion.

His clothes, however, had been torn to shreds.

The mask had also been blasted off, revealing his true face.

Xiao Yi, upon seeing it, immediately had a drastic change in expression.

He quickly concealed the change in his eyes.

But the masked elder still noticed it.

"Hmm? You know me?" the masked elder noticed his own revealed face.

Immediately, his killing intent grew even stronger.

"I'm really curious, who exactly are you?" the masked elder said, immediately striking out.

This time, Xiao Yi didn't hesitate at all and immediately fled.

However, his speed was no match for the masked elder.

The elder caught up to him in a blink.

"Boy, just surrender," the masked elder shouted, his hands clawing.

He intended to capture Xiao Yi alive.

Xiao Yi threw a punch.

But it couldn't resist at all and he was instantly sent flying.

His internal organs felt as though they had been struck by thunder.

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.

The masked elder had inflicted serious injuries with a single move, even rendering him powerless.

One could imagine how strong he was.

But, the next second, the masked elder's advancing steps suddenly stopped.

In his eyes appeared a hint of wariness.

Ahead was the Flame Sacred Mountain.

At this moment, Xiao Yi's figure was falling directly into it.

The Flame Sacred Mountain, forbidden to humans. Those mighty flames could envelop even giant mountains.

The temperature was so high that even Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artists would instantly turn to ash upon entering.

"Damn it," the masked elder muttered to himself.

"Forget it, since he can't be captured alive. Falling into the Flame Sacred Mountain, you are undoubtedly doomed."

With that, the masked elder, hovering in the air, struck with a palm.

This palm directly sent Xiao Yi's body flying farther away.

Even accelerating the falling speed.

Seeing that Xiao Yi was bound to fall into the Flame Sacred Mountain, he turned and left confidently.

"Pu pu pu..." Xiao Yi, already severely injured, received another palm strike, his blood and Qi boiling over.

The blood spewing from his mouth even mixed with pieces of his organs.

At the same time, his consciousness also became blurry due to the severe injuries.

Blurred vision directly followed the back of the masked elder as he left.

His heart, filled with horror.

Because he indeed recognized the true face of the masked elder just now.

"Sword Sect's Fourth Elder! Could it be, that Saint Child is..."

The next second, Xiao Yi completely lost consciousness.

His body fell directly into the blazing flames.

...

Second update.
