Soul Emperor Martial God

The Ice Sky Splitting Slash released a blizzard.

Again and again, it was broken by the Blood River, yet each time it instantly reappeared.

The onlookers surrounding the battlefield had long since retreated a kilometer away, staring dumbly at the fight.

Such a level of combat was beyond their ability to join.

Meanwhile, within a kilometer radius, almost everything had been reduced to ruins.

The gates of the Liu Family Mansion had also been destroyed long ago.

"Indeed, he is the Strongest Sword Master of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect,"

the surrounding onlookers exclaimed with expressions of astonishment.

"Blood River is a long-established peak powerhouse, notorious and formidable."

"And yet, he can only helplessly be trapped by the Northern Mountain Sword Master."

"Tch," some of the Liu Family Martial Artists sneered at this moment.

"The Northern Mountain Sword Master can't trap Master Jin for long,"

"Once the elemental power in his body is exhausted and Elixirs are consumed, he will ultimately be defeated."

On the other side.

At the heart of the battle, beneath the blizzard, Blood River's face looked extremely ugly.

He himself was also an Alchemist.

He knew all too well that a highly skilled Alchemist would possess many Elixirs to replenish elemental power.

Although Xiao Yi was now swallowing Elixirs in great quantities at an astonishing rate,

the time he could drag on was bound to be significant.

He didn't want any accidents, nor did he want to prolong this into the night.

Thinking this, he gathered a surge of Golden Fire in his hand.

The Golden Fire transformed into a golden spear.

Then, with a sweep of his arm,

the golden spear of flames flew out fiercely, instantly breaking through the enclosure of the blizzard,

and headed straight for Xiao Yi.

The flame spear also carried an extreme high temperature and a sharp aura of destruction.

Everywhere it passed,

the surrounding area turned to ash, and the ground was ground into powder.

Xiao Yi's face turned stern, and he forcefully blocked with the Frost Sword in his hand.

The speed of the golden spear was too fast; he couldn't dodge in time and could only brace for impact.

Clang!

The spear and sword collided.

The aura of flames met the coldness.

The sharp aura clashed with the fierce Sword Qi.

Crack!

The golden spear showed cracks and was nearly shattered.

After all, it was just a spear made of Golden Fire.

And the Frost Sword was a Mid-grade Primordial Artifact.

In terms of hardness, naturally, the Frost Sword was much stronger.

But the next second, the Frost Sword suddenly flew out of his hand.

Xiao Yi holding the sword with one hand simply couldn't withstand the impact of the spear thrown by a Heavenly Origin Ninth Layer Martial Artist.

Shick, a sharp piercing sound.

The golden spear pierced through his chest mercilessly.

There was no blood flowing from the massive wound on his chest,

for the blood had already been evaporated by the flames of the golden spear.

The sharp aura, with an extremely terrifying speed, kept wreaking havoc at the chest wound.

"Disperse," Xiao Yi uttered in a low voice.

Extreme coldness instantly neutralized the destructive aura.

But, just as he was distracted by the need to cancel out the destructive aura,

Blood River had already broken through the blizzard and leapt towards Xiao Yi.

At the same time, Blood River once again formed a golden spear.

The spear led the way, followed by his figure.

Xiao Yi was shocked and waved his hand massively.

The blizzard and sword momentum descended again, trapping Blood River.

However, it couldn't trap the golden spear.

Shick, another piercing sound.

The golden spear once again left a gruesome wound on his chest.

Xiao Yi, taken aback, could only once again be distracted and used extreme cold to neutralize the sharp aura of the golden spear.

Meanwhile, Blood River had broken through the blizzard again and leaped toward Xiao Yi once more.

At the same time, the golden spear condensed again and struck anew.

Xiao Yi had no choice but to lower the blizzard once more, subduing Blood River.

Time and again, the golden spear attacked.

Blood River broke through the blizzard time and again, narrowing the distance with Xiao Yi.

If this continued, once Blood River closed in completely, Xiao Yi's defeat was certain, and he might even be in danger of losing his life.

But Xiao Yi was out of options.

If the sharp aura on the golden spear wasn't neutralized promptly,

The strangling breath continued to ravage his wounds, eroding his flesh.

The golden spear, in fact, could have killed Xiao Yi.

But, each time it was barely deflected by the Frost Sword, greatly diminishing its power.

Added to that, Xiao Yi's physical strength was exceptional, and he kept consuming handfuls of elixirs.

That's how he managed to endure time after time.

But now, his injuries had become extremely grave.

Again and again, the golden spear pierced through his chest, subjecting him to tortures akin to being slashed and lacerated a thousand times.

The pain was excruciating.

Of course, he could endure the pain.

But as his injuries worsened, eventually, he would not be able to hold on.

His chest was already a bloody mess.

Blood and remnants from previous wounds kept overflowing.

He had become a blood-soaked figure.

But he never retreated, because behind him was Liu Yanran, whom he was protecting.

"Xiao Yi," Liu Yanran choked up behind him.

His blood-soaked appearance blurred her vision.

The feeling of being protected and watching the person she admired continue to get injured...

left her with an extremely complex mood.

Sadness and anger began to swell to an uncontrollable level.

In her heart, suddenly appeared Xiao Yi's previous words,

"Just stay behind me with peace of mind."

"Instead of shedding tears in front of your enemy, it's better to show them your ferocious side."

These words were meant by Xiao Yi to comfort her from crying.

But now, as they resurfaced in her heart, they took on a different meaning.

"Ferocious... ferocious..."

Liu Yanran murmured to herself.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was still repeatedly forcefully enduring the attacks of the golden spear.

He hadn't noticed that Liu Yanran behind him had suddenly changed.

Her eyes, abruptly turned blood-red.

A towering killing intent suddenly pervaded the entire battleground.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi frowned, only then noticing something was wrong with Liu Yanran.

When he saw her eyes, he was startled.

"Yanran, you..."

Liu Yanran did not speak.

But the next second, a blood mist suddenly shrouded the field.

The blood from the corpses of the Blood Mist Valley Martial Artists and Liu Family Martial Artists that had fallen to Xiao Yi's sword suddenly surged wildly.

All of it streamed towards Liu Yanran.

Simultaneously, Liu Yanran's aura was also soaring rapidly.

A round of willow tree illusions appeared behind Liu Yanran.

Xiao Yi's face drastically changed, "This... this is the Blood-colored Smoke Willow Martial Soul."

The Blood-colored Smoke Willow Martial Soul was one of the extremely rare martial souls.

Xiao Yi's gaze towards Blood River turned icy in an instant.

"No wonder. Just to pick up someone from the Liu Family, and yet Blood River personally leads the team."

At this moment, Blood River was drawing ever closer to Xiao Yi.

Hearing this, his expression changed.

"Quickly capture Liu Yanran," Blood River shouted loudly.

Martial Artists from Blood Mist Valley, kilometers away, immediately obeyed and moved in an instant.

In the distance, the onlookers' faces changed drastically.

"Lady Liu actually has the Blood-colored Smoke Willow Martial Soul?"

"Wasn't it said before that she has the Mist Rain Green Willow Martial Soul?"

"No wonder, no wonder Blood Mist Valley values her so much."

Elder Mu also coldly said, "Hmph, it seems that Blood Mist Valley doesn't want to take Lady Liu as the future mistress of their valley."

"Instead, they want to train her into an assassin, to become a sharp blade in Blood Mist Valley's hand."

"Otherwise, they have other motives; the effects of the Blood-colored Smoke Willow are..."

Elder Mu suddenly closed his mouth, choosing not to continue.

On the other side.

Blood River and a host of Blood Mist Valley powerhouses attacked simultaneously.

Xiao Yi's face grew cold, and his killing intent was chilling, "Seeking death."

The fire attribute elemental power inside him was mobilized in an instant.

Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, Earth Vein Golden Fire, Star Fire - four formidable flames were about to converge.

But, just at that moment.

A figure from within the Liu Family Mansion suddenly rushed over at high speed.

Snap, snap.

The figure intercepted Blood River with a palm.

"Patriarch Liu, you've broken through," Blood River's face changed.

...

The second update.
