Soul Emperor Martial God

"Indeed, the middle-aged man in front of me is the Blood Mist Valley Master."

"In the Flame Martial Kingdom, there was one sect and two valleys."

"As one of the two valleys, the Valley Master of the Blood Mist Valley must be one of the pinnacle experts."

"Strength and influence were at their zenith."

"In the entire Flame Martial Kingdom, there were no more than a handful who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him."

"Xiao Yi's complexion looked terrible, but facing such a formidable opponent, he knew he couldn't afford to panic."

"Otherwise, a single misstep could lead to a fate of no return."

"How prestigious, Blood Mist Valley Master, to personally pursue Yi Xiao," Xiao Yi scoffed coldly.

The Valley Master's expression remained unchanged, "Young man, there's no need to provoke me; I know you are full of tricks."

"Today, you will die."

"However, before you die, I need to capture you and bring you back to resolve my son's Heart Demon."

"I assure you, you will suffer a fate far more miserable than my son Wushang."

As Blood Mist Valley Master spoke, the murderous intent on his face intensified to the extreme.

"You'll kill me?" A cold smirk crossed Xiao Yi's lips.

"Yi Xiao is the Chief Steward of the Demon Hunting Hall, with many achievements to his name, do you dare to kill?"

While Xiao Yi spoke, he covertly sensed the prohibitions around him.

Instantly, he furrowed his brows almost imperceptibly.

The strength of the prohibition was immense.

Blood Mist Valley Master said coldly, "What about being the Chief Steward of the Demon Hunting Hall?"

"You harmed my son, I seek vengeance, and our quarrel is personal."

"The Demon Hunting Hall cannot interfere."

Then, with a grim face, the Valley Master continued, "Don't think I don't know that you're sensing my prohibition."

"You won't escape today."

Having said that, he waved his hand broadly.

A swath of blood-red force crashed down suddenly, transforming into a Blood River.

The Blood River's width spread over one hundred meters.

Inside it, Xiao Yi felt a sudden shock of fear.

The bloodwater in the Blood River had an extremely corrosive force.

In mere seconds, his skin began showing signs of corrosion.

Even his mind felt a momentary daze.

Xiao Yi inhaled sharply, stabilizing his wavering mind.

The Valley Master of the Blood Mist Valley lived up to his reputation, terrifyingly powerful.

This move, Blood River alone, I fear ordinary Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artists would be caught in a daze if they fell into it.

They'd be corroded by the bloodwater, becoming yet another part of the Blood River in a short span of time.

With a boom, Xiao Yi waved his hand, and all around him, Purple Flames enveloped him, counteracting the surrounding bloodwater.

At the same time, Xiao Yi distinctly felt his body's Primordial Power being consumed at an alarming rate.

One could imagine the potency of the bloodwater.

However, Xiao Yi could not precisely sense the Valley Master's strength.

The gap between them was too great.

The only thing Xiao Yi could be sure of was that the Blood Mist Valley Master was much more powerful than the Sword Sect Fourth Elder of the Heavenly Origin Sixth Layer.

Evidently, the Valley Master must be above the Heavenly Origin Eighth Layer, perhaps even at the Ninth Layer.

Such power was something Xiao Yi simply could not contend with.

Even escape seemed nearly impossible.

Of course, at this moment, Xiao Yi actually felt fortunate.

Thankfully, when he had attacked Wushang, he had done so using the identity of Yi Xiao.

Otherwise, the Xiao Family would have likely suffered a catastrophic disaster by now.

But back to the matter at hand.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was trapped within the Blood River.

And the Blood Mist Valley Master before him was not eager to immediately capture Xiao Yi.

Of course, he was confident that Yi Xiao could not escape from his grasp.

He simply wanted to watch with his own eyes as Yi Xiao suffered within this Blood River to soothe the hatred in his heart.

"Ha ha ha ha." The Valley Master of Blood Mist Valley laughed coldly.

"Yi Xiao, I had long suspected you wouldn't die so easily."

"Heaven does not disappoint the one who tries; I've finally caught you."

"I will let you gasp your last breath and bring you back to Blood Mist Valley, for my son to personally kill you."

"How dare you scheme against my son Wushang and kill an elder of the Blood Mist Valley, not to mention the many assassins."

"I will make you understand what it means to prefer death over life."

In fact, half a month ago, the assassins of the Blood Mist Valley had already poured out in search of Yi Xiao.

Wushang had been plagued by his Heart Demon, deranged for more than half a year.

Over half a year of inability to cultivate, his path of Martial Arts was stumbling.

The Valley Master was, naturally, anxious and furious, even personally pursuing vengeance.

However, when the assassins traced the whereabouts of Yi Xiao, the earliest news was that Yi Xiao had been in Flame County.

And in the battle with the strong members of the Flame Holy Sect, he was cast into the Flame Sacred Mountain, purportedly doomed to die.

The Blood Mist Valley Master, unconvinced, continued to investigate.

Indeed, he found Xiao Yi in Anyun County, ready to head to the Royal Capital.

Now, Xiao Yi was in the Blood River, straining against it with the protection of Purple Flame.

Yet his expression showed not a trace of fear, "What, so Wushang from your Blood Mist Valley is allowed to bully the Martial Artists from Northern Mountain County?"

"And I'm not allowed to deal with him?"

"So it's fine for your Blood Mist Valley assassins to brazenly attempt murders in Northern Mountain County."

"And I'm not allowed to retaliate?"

"Exactly," the Blood Mist Valley Master arrogantly declared, "What are you in comparison?"

"Do you really think you're some kind of supreme genius?"

"Before you grow up, you're nothing but an ant that I can crush anytime in front of Blood Mist Valley."

"When the assassins of Blood Mist Valley want to kill you, you can only obediently accept it."

"Just like now, can you resist?"

"Do you even have the right to resist?"

The Blood Mist Valley Master stared coldly at Xiao Yi.

"In my Blood River of Corpses, you can't escape."

"Your Purple Flame is powerful indeed, but how long can you withstand the erosion of the blood?"

"Tsks, I can hardly wait to hear your agonizing screams."

"I can hardly wait to see the wretched sight of you begging for mercy."

"Hahahaha."

The words of the Blood Mist Valley Master were domineering, but they were also true.

This world is just like that, survival of the fittest, brutally cruel.

If one's strength is insufficient, then one is just an ant that cannot resist.

Time, slowly passed by.

To resist the erosion of the blood with Purple Flame,

The Primordial Power within Xiao Yi's body was being consumed at an astonishing rate.

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes.

Then, with a sneer, he said, "Master Xue, I'm afraid I'm not fortunate enough to endure your torture today."

"This Blood River cannot trap me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a towering aura burst forth from Xiao Yi's hand.

A violent flame emitting three colors of light appeared out of nowhere.

"What is this?" The Blood Mist Valley Master obviously felt a frightening aura from the three-colored flames.

"Something that will take your life," Xiao Yi shouted.

The three-colored flame exploded in an instant.

It destroyed the Blood River that bound him and then, with undiminished force, blasted towards the Blood Mist Valley Master.

The explosive force affected an area of thousands of kilometers.

After the explosion dissipated,

The entire sky was left with space quaking, forming a vacuum zone.

The Blood Mist Valley Master then had a ragged look on his face, even coughing up blood from his mouth.

"How is this possible?" The Blood Mist Valley Master had an incredulous look, even horror.

"What kind of technique was that? At such a young age, to have such strength?"

"This boy must not be left alive."

Murderous intent surged in the eyes of the Blood Mist Valley Master.

In the next second, when he looked ahead, his Blood River had already collapsed.

And Yi Xiao had disappeared without a trace.

"You can't escape," roared the Blood Mist Valley Master with fury, like an enraged lion.

Swish, swish, swish...

His figure flickered, instantly catching up to Xiao Yi.

Ahead, Xiao Yi turned into a stream of flame light, desperately fleeing.

Behind him, the Blood Mist Valley Master sneered again.

"Damn it." Xiao Yi looked back, his heart racing with urgency.

The three-colored flame just now had called upon more than 90 percent of his internal Primordial Power, compressed and deployed.

Only then, with the amplification of the top-grade elemental artifact Furious Flame Ring, did it have such terrifying power.

For this purpose, he had spent a long time preparing in the Blood River.

Of course, this was only because the Blood Mist Valley Master intended to torture him and had given him time to prepare.

Otherwise, such a strong figure could have taken his life with a mere wave of his hand.

Now, seeing that the Blood Mist Valley Master had suffered once, he certainly would not have a second chance to escape.

"Damn it, the city is right ahead, I must hold on." Xiao Yi clenched his teeth, his speed soaring to the extreme.

Although his speed was fast,

The Blood Mist Valley Master was faster, much faster.

In the next instant, just as Xiao Yi entered a large city,

The Blood Mist Valley Master arrived right behind him and struck out heavily with his palm.

With a loud bang,

Xiao Yi was struck as if by lightning, and was sent flying.

When he hit the ground, he was covered in fresh blood, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

His body was as if falling apart, his internal organs nearly all shattered.

Most of his bones were pulverized.

The Blood Mist Valley Master wouldn't kill him but intended to cripple him.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yi laughed, an arrogant laugh.

Because this large city happened to have a Demon Hunting Hall.

As the Chief Steward of the Demon Hunting Hall, he naturally knew the exact distribution of the Demon Hunting Halls.

And now, by his deliberate calculation, the direction he was blown in was directly toward the Demon Hunting Hall.

One of his feet had already stepped through the gate of the Demon Hunting Hall.

The next second, his figure collapsed, and the severely injured him could no longer hold on, tumbling into the gate.

His body lay on the ground. His proud eyes stared directly at the distant Blood Mist Valley Master, a cold sneer forming on his lips.

Demon Hunting Hall does not involve itself in the conflicts of various powers.

Even if a member of the Hall has personal grievances with others, the Demon Hunting Hall will not intervene.

However, no one is allowed to kill members of the Demon Hunting Hall on its premises.

Violators are considered attackers of the Demon Hunting Hall.
