Soul Emperor Martial God

In a large city within Anyun County, inside the Demon Hunting Hall.

Xiao Yi, covered in blood, his appearance utterly wretched, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

The astonishing roar just now had drawn the eyes of all those present.

"Who is that?"

"The injuries look very severe."

"Judging by the attire and having come to the Demon Hunting Hall, it must be a Demon Hunter."

The Demon Hunting Hall was always filled with a large number of Demon Hunters gathered within.

The speakers were those very Demon Hunters.

At that moment, several members of the Law Enforcement Team approached with furrowed brows and asked, "Who are you?"

"Are you a Demon Hunter? Or has a Beast Tide erupted somewhere, requiring our Demon Hunting Hall's Law Enforcement Team to respond?"

Xiao Yi was severely injured, bones in his arms and legs shattered completely.

The intense pain made it difficult for him to speak.

He had no choice but to directly control the Primordial Power within his body, drawing out the Demon Hunter's Token from the Universe Ring into the air.

The Demon Hunter's Token floated mid-air and was caught by the Law Enforcement Team members, who after one glance, had their expressions dramatically change.

"General Executor Yi Xiao?" Several Law Enforcement Team members immediately saluted and helped Xiao Yi to his feet.

"How has General Executor Yi Xiao come to be so grievously injured?"

Speaking, the Law Enforcement Team said to another person nearby, "Hurry and inform the Chief Steward, and summon the hall's Alchemists."

"Understood." Two Law Enforcement Team officers quickly left.

The Demon Hunting Hall always had Alchemists on standby; however, their grades were generally not high, based on the strength of the Demon Hunting Hall itself.

The surrounding Demon Hunters heard this and showed an expression of awe.

"General Executor Yi Xiao?"

"Could it be the renowned Purple Flame?"

"Wearing a mask and so young, it must be Purple Flame."

"But according to rumor, Purple Flame is a Martial Arts genius capable of slaying even Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artists."

"How has he become like this?"

"In the entire Flame Martial Kingdom, there aren't many who could injure him to this extent."

The Demon Hunters around buzzed with discussion.

Xiao Yi, in no mood to listen to these discussions.

"Ptui." He spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

He could not suppress his injuries in the slightest.

His internal organs and meridians were also severely damaged.

The angry blow from the Blood Mist Valley Master was truly terrifying.

In some ways, he was already half a cripple.

If he did not receive timely treatment to stabilize his condition, he would die from his severe injuries.

At that moment, outside the great doors of the Demon Hunting Hall, a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air.

The middle-aged man, his face livid with anger, resembled a furious lion.

It was the Blood Mist Valley Master.

Xiao Yi glanced over, his expression turning extremely grave, yet he remained undaunted.

The Blood Mist Valley Master stood outside the door, only two steps away from Xiao Yi.

He could have simply reached out his hand and touched Xiao Yi.

But he did not stretch out his hand, nor did he step into the Demon Hunting Hall.

Because, he was afraid, afraid that he couldn't resist killing Yi Xiao or capturing him in front of everyone.

It wasn't that he feared Yi Xiao's death.

He was afraid of bearing the accusation of 'attacking the Demon Hunting Hall.'

The Demon Hunting Hall, for countless years, has never been challenged, let alone attacked.

A challenge and an attack are two different things.

A challenge is just a simple provocation.

An attack is an act of aggression, equivalent to declaring war between two parties.

The Demon Hunting Hall, as the oldest power in the entire continent.

Such a behemoth, who would dare wage war with it.

Moreover, the Demon Hunting Hall serves as a symbol across the entire continent, beyond its own Martial Arts strength.

A symbol revered by billions.

No one dares to disregard its rules.

"Cough cough." At that moment, Xiao Yi spat blood again.

Seeing this, the Blood Mist Valley Master said coldly, "Purple Flame, come out by yourself."

"You've been injured to this degree by my palm strike."

"I can forcibly stabilize your injuries and save your life."

"Otherwise, you will die from your severe wounds."

"Heh heh." Xiao Yi, with fresh blood in his mouth.

Enduring the severe pain, he said arrogantly, "Has Master Xue forgotten that Yi is an Alchemist?"

The Blood Mist Valley Master's face darkened at once.

He was well aware of Yi Xiao's various titles.

Genius Demon Hunter, genius Fire Control Warrior, genius Alchemist.

Especially as a genius Alchemist, he was recognized as the top Alchemist talent in the entire Flame Martial Kingdom.

Acknowledged as a Seventh-grade Alchemist.

The Seventh-grade Alchemist is almost the highest grade of Alchemy proficiency in the entire Flame Martial Kingdom.

There wasn't much that could challenge them.

Indeed, at this moment, Xiao Yi had used the Primordial Power within his body to control and absorb several Elixir Pills, sending them into his mouth.

The most obvious indication was the originally chaotic aura, which was visibly stabilizing at a visible rate.

Xiao Yi had always known that he had many enemies.

Thus, he had long since refined a large quantity of high-grade Healing Elixirs in case of emergencies.

Various seventh-grade peak Healing Medicines, whether for nourishing the meridians or healing the flesh and so on, were ingested in large quantities.

In just a few minutes, although his internal injuries were not completely cured, they had gradually stabilized.

Seeing this from outside the door, the expression of the Blood Mist Valley Master grew increasingly unsightly.

After a long while, he could only wave his sleeve resentfully, "I'd like to see how long you can hide in there."

Xiao Yi replied with a cold laugh, "I'd also like to see how long Master Xue can wait me out."

"No, it should be said, how long can Wushang hold on."

"Right now he is just crazy and incoherent, his path in Martial Arts crippled."

"But if this drags on, the Heart Demon grows stronger by the day, then I'm afraid..."

Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh.

Now that his injuries were gradually stabilizing, Xiao Yi was no longer in serious trouble.

Being in the Demon Hunting Hall, he was not afraid of Blood Mist Valley Master daring to deal with him by force.

Therefore, there was no need to worry at the moment.

It was time to discuss terms.

"Boy, do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?" the Blood Mist Valley Master said furiously when he heard Xiao Yi's words, his killing intent chilling.

"Dare," Xiao Yi said with a teasing smile, "Master Xue is indeed a formidable figure."

"What wouldn't he dare do?"

"I believe that with Master Xue's capabilities and courage, there is absolutely nothing he wouldn't dare do."

"Even if it means openly defying the rules of the Demon Hunting Hall, even if it means attacking the Demon Hunting Hall."

"Even if it means making an enemy of the Royal Capital Main Hall."

"Even if it means going to war with the tens of thousands of Demon Hunters in the world."

"He would dare."

Xiao Yi emphasized each sentence.

The last few words were laden with unmistakable sarcasm.

"You..." Blood Mist Valley Master gritted his teeth in rage, raising his hand with a trace of blood appearing.

He had been a major figure in the Flame Martial Kingdom for many years; when had anyone dared to speak to him like this?

And when had anyone dared to defy him like this?

Today, Xiao Yi had provoked him to such an extent; if word spread, it would surely be a shocking affair.

As for Xiao Yi himself, he didn't care at all.

Since he had already become mortal enemies with the Blood Mist Valley, a little more hatred didn't matter.

After a long pause, the Blood Mist Valley Master eventually lowered his hand.

He was one of the top figures of the major powers in the Flame Martial Kingdom.

His schemes and intellect were beyond ordinary people; he would not lose his patience so easily.

"Purple Flame," the Blood Mist Valley Master suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.

"If you save my son Wushang, I will, for today, set aside our grievances with you. How about that?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh, "Set aside for today? And what about after that?"

"Master Xue really knows how to scheme."

Blood Mist Valley Master clenched his teeth and said, "And after that, we will set it aside as well. The grievances between you and me will be cleared. Are you satisfied now?"

"Of course," Xiao Yi replied promptly.

Blood Mist Valley Master immediately showed a smile.

But in the next second, Xiao Yi spat out three words, 'Not satisfactory.'

Combined with his previous statement, that meant, 'Of course not satisfactory.'

The smile on Master Xue's face eerily froze.

Xiao Yi said with a sneer, "Wushang once bullied the Martial Artists of Northern Mountain County and cruelly tortured them."

"Not to mention I merely injured him severely, even if I had killed him, it would have been reasonable."

"Your assassins from Blood Mist Valley have repeatedly attempted to assassinate me."

"Today, you have severely injured me again."

"Just a mere 'let's not mention it again after this' and you expect me to be satisfied?"

"What exactly do you want?" Master Xue shouted in anger.

"Quite simple, two conditions," Xiao Yi held up two fingers.

"What conditions?" Master Xue asked darkly.

Xiao Yi said coldly, "First, after I save Wushang, Blood Mist Valley must no longer pursue me."

"Agreed," Master Xue nodded. "And the second condition?"

"Second," Xiao Yi continued, "I want your Universe Ring."

"Everything inside it, to serve as compensation for hiring me to save Wushang this time."

"What?" Blood Mist Valley Master burst out in rage, "Boy, you're asking for the moon! Impossible!"

Xiao Yi sneered, "Then we continue to wait."

"But let me remind you, if we continue to drag this out for another year or so, and Wushang's Heart Demon worsens."

"I can't be sure I'll still have the ability to save him."

"Do you want Wushang's entire future in Martial Arts or the treasures in your Universe Ring?"

"Master Xue, make your own choice."

"You…" Blood Mist Valley Master was furious beyond measure.

After a long while, he still gritted his teeth, "Fine, I agree to your terms."

...

The third update.
