Chapter 459: Defeating the Peak Experts with One Move
"Insolent," the Sect Master shouted coldly.
"Xiao Yi, you regard no one, act arrogantly, and are inherently murderous."
"For this reason, the Sect strips you of the title of Strongest Sword Master."
"I thought you would recognize your mistakes and cultivate your temperament."
"Unexpectedly, you have become even worse, blaming and slandering the Sect for this."
"Men, seize this unworthy disciple at once, and let the Sect rules deal with him."
At the Sect Master's command, several Sect Deacons and elders immediately took action.
"Xiao Yi, I remind you,"
"If you let the Sect capture you willingly, you can still keep your life."
"Otherwise, your slaughter at Blood Mist Valley today, along with causing havoc at Sky-reaching Tower, such atrocities have angered both gods and men."
"Here in the Royal Capital, strong figures gather."
"If other Martial Artists capture you, you will surely die."
In the Sect Master's view, it was best if they could capture Xiao Yi easily without exerting much effort.
Several Sect elders and Deacons attacked.
Xiao Yi's expression remained unfazed, still utterly indifferent.
"I am no longer a disciple of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect; why should I be bound by these rules?"
"If you wish to capture me, come at me with your abilities."
"However, I remind you, I came today only to take Bai Mohan's life."
"If you insist on protecting him, do not blame my merciless sword."
As he finished speaking,
The Frost Sword appeared out of nowhere in Xiao Yi's hand.
Several Sect elders sensed the terrifying cold aura.
And the frightening intent to kill.
They were instantly alarmed.
They had no doubt that if they dared to approach Xiao Yi again, he would indeed kill them.
They were merely ordinary elders in the Sect, with only Heavenly Origin Early Stage strength.
If Xiao Yi resisted, they were no match to capture him.
It would be tantamount to a suicidal act.
The elders and Deacons hesitated, visibly wary, and stopped their attack.
The Sect Master's expression darkened, then he turned to an old man beside him.
The old man was Elder Duan Yun.
"Elder Duan Yun, you see," the Sect Master said coldly.
"It is not that I do not wish to save his life, but that he does not cherish it."
"And such arrogance cannot be tolerated."
Duan Yun's expression also turned ugly.
Especially upon hearing about the massacre at Blood Mist Valley and the raid on Sky-reaching Tower, his expression turned extremely grim.
"Let's capture him first," Duan Yun said somberly.
"Good," the Sect Master nodded in satisfaction.
"Wait," just then, Mu Qingyun stepped forward.
"A mere brat, there's no need for the Sword Sect Master to act personally."
"I can capture him myself."
"Afterward, this boy will be at Elder Bai's disposal."
Bai Mohan nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Elder Qingyun."
Mu Qingyun nodded confidently and instantly lunged towards Xiao Yi.
He was one of the eight peak figures in the Royal Capital.
Although ranked seventh, he was still a top-rate figure.
Confident indeed.
"Wood Realm Seal," Mu Qingyun waved his hand grandly.
Countless giant trees uprooted themselves.
Mu Qingyun extended his left hand, fingers spread like claws.
Then, he fiercely clenched his fist.
The numerous giant trees instantly intertwined mystically, forming a massive cage.
Xiao Yi was firmly trapped inside.
The cage seemed to be reinforced by a strange power, making it incredibly sturdy.
The next second, Mu Qingyun extended his right hand.
On his right hand, a fierce flame suddenly condensed.
"Fire Realm Seal," Mu Qingyun shouted coldly.
However, clearly, compared to the previous Wood Realm Seal,
The Fire Realm Seal seemed more strenuous for him to execute.
Mu Qingyun's Martial Soul was a peculiar giant wood, ranked as a Blue Tier.
This kind of wood was extremely hard, iron-like, and impervious to both sword and dagger.
The Wood Realm Seal was a manifestation of his Martial Soul Power.
As for the Fire Realm Seal.
Those flames were actually Star Fire.
Mu Qingyun had once cultivated arduously at the Peak of Medicine Tower for ten years, absorbing the Star Fire.
And with it, branded a flame seed within himself.
This technique was somewhat similar to Yue Fenwu's Star Wheel Feather Robe, which had no Fire Control Ability, but Yue Fenwu had branded a Star Fire seed in herself, thus acquiring the ability to control the Star Fire.
However, whereas the Star Wheel Feather Robe was highly compatible with the Star Fire,
The compatibility of Mu Qingyun's Wood Attribute Martial Soul with the Star Fire was extremely low.
Thus, even though he possessed this Fire Control Ability, its power was not significant.
"Not to speak of Yue Fenwu, even using it to fight is meaningless."
"At most, it can only be used to improve one's own refining capabilities."
"However, right now, Xiao Yi had been imprisoned by the Wood Realm Seal."
"As the saying goes, wood feeds fire."
"This gave him a chance to slyly combine the power of the Wood Realm Seal and Fire Realm Seal, enhancing their might."
"Back to the main story."
"Although Mu Qingyun struggled to gather the Star Fire in his hand."
"He was gradually able to gather a bit of it."
"Heh heh." Mu Qingyun snickered smugly.
"Xiao Yi, what I hate most in my life are you Martial Artists from Northern Mountain County."
"Each and every one of you is arrogantly self-centered and looks down on everyone."
"It was so in the past and is the same now."
"I will personally destroy you."
The last sentence, Mu Qingyun transmitted directly into Xiao Yi's ears.
Then, with a clench of his right hand.
The weak Star Fire flew out and made contact with the giant wooden cage, immediately igniting a fierce blaze.
In just a few seconds.
The entire giant cage had turned into a sea of fire.
"HAHAHAHA." Mu Qingyun laughed hideously.
"No one can withstand the power of Star Fire."
"Xiao Yi, the only fate awaiting you is to be buried in this sea of fire."
In just a moment, Xiao Yi's figure was completely engulfed by the raging flames of the prison.
The people around cheered.
"As expected of the Great Elder of Medicine King Valley, to defeat Xiao Yi in just a showdown."
Mu Qingyun laughed complacently, tilting his head back, with his hands behind him.
Just at that moment.
A chilling voice came from within the sea of fire.
"Mu Qingyun, is that all you're capable of?"
It was Xiao Yi's voice.
"How is this possible?" Mu Qingyun's expression changed.
"There's nothing impossible." The cold voice echoed again from the flames.
As soon as the words fell.
A sky full of Cold Frost had extinguished the raging flames.
The giant wooden cage was also covered with a thick layer of frost.
Though the wood was strong, under the extreme cold of the freeze, it became exceedingly brittle.
Xiao Yi flicked his finger lightly.
Crack, crack, crack...
The wood immediately emitted countless cracks.
In just a few seconds, the wood had completely shattered.
Xiao Yi, unharmed, walked out from within, his expression calm.
"How strong, is this the true strength of Xiao Yi?" The faces of those around changed dramatically.
Sect Master, Blood River, and others also looked uneasy, murmuring, "This youngster might already possess the strength of a peak fighter."
The words around made Mu Qingyun's old face wrinkle.
"What a joke, how could my pure cultivation lose to a mere kid?"
Mu Qingyun said coldly, taking a step forward, he instantly lunged towards Xiao Yi.
"Scram." Xiao Yi barked coldly, his hand wielding the Frost Sword heavily.
The sweeping sound of the sword, carrying a cold breath, instantly repelled Mu Qingyun.
Thud... thud... thud...
Mu Qingyun stepped back nine steps.
With each step, a footprint was left, and a layer of frost covered his body.
After nine steps, nine layers of frost had formed.
Mu Qingyun had been frozen.
Of course, it was just a freeze.
"Break." Mu Qingyun bellowed, forcibly breaking the frost.
Shards of ice scattered everywhere, fluttering beautifully.
The ice shards were extremely beautiful.
But the sight of Mu Qingyun revealed was exceedingly disheveled.
His upper garment was torn, his chest marked with bloodstains from the ice shards.
His face had even turned purple from the extreme cold.
This was the power of the "Ice Mountain Fire Sea."
The Ice Mountain Fire Sea, previously formed by "True Qi," was already so powerful.
Not to mention the Ice Mountain Fire Sea now formed by "Primordial Power."
And it was a massive presence of three thousand three hundred thirty-three feet.
"How strong, Mu Qingyun was defeated in just one move." The people around were astounded.
"Let me meet you, old man." At that moment, a furious shout rang out.
A figure rapidly approached.
It was Blood River.
"I want to see what right you, who were defeated by me months ago, have to act recklessly before us today," Blood River sneered.
...
The fourth update.
