Soul Emperor Martial God

"How is that possible? Elder Duan Yun, actually so powerful?"

Stunned, both the Master of Blood Mist Valley and Blood River watched from the side.

At this moment, the Wandering Cloud Killing Sword in Duan Yun's hand transformed into illusions.

His steps, the Wandering Cloud Kill Step, were profoundly mysterious.

The thirty-three Heavenly Gold Guards, unable to affect him, were instead overpowered by him.

Xiao Yi, watching from the sidelines, nodded silently.

His gaze, cold and filled with killing intent, turned towards the duo from Blood Mist Valley.

"Since I'm idle, how about exchanging a few moves with you two?"

On hearing this, the two instinctively stepped back.

They didn't believe they could defeat Xiao Yi.

Their greatest confidence lay only in those three Extreme Realm Martial Artists.

Time gradually passed.

The sharp aura of the thirty-three Heavenly Gold Guards was gradually worn down by Elder Duan Yun's hands.

Yet, Elder Duan Yun's killing intent grew stronger and more imposing.

Originally in advantage, Elder Duan Yun instantly took control of the battle.

Hiss… Hiss… Hiss…

A series of sounds of swords piercing through the air resonated.

The next second.

Thirty of the Heavenly Origin Peak Heavenly Gold Guards fell to the ground.

A streak of blood on their throats; their life force was fully extinguished.

Now, of the numerous Heavenly Gold Guards, only three at the Extreme Realm First Layer were left.

Already at a disadvantage, their situation took a sudden turn, making them even less of a match for Elder Duan Yun.

At this time, the three Extreme Realm First Layers quickly exchanged glances.

The next second, they simultaneously struck out with a sword and retreated from the battle.

Three figures hastily moved away.

Appearing next to the duo from Blood Mist Valley in a flash.

"This man is too strong; we're no match for him—run," one said quickly, planning to take the duo from Blood Mist Valley and flee.

"Thinking of running?" Elder Duan Yun scoffed coldly.

With a heavy swing of the Wandering Cloud Sword in his hand,

In an instant, the golden barrier dispersed.

The power of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts descended from the sky, instantly locking down the surrounding space.

"Break." The three Extreme Realm First Layers forcefully struck out with a sword to break the lockdown.

But their efforts couldn't shake the Martial Arts Power surrounding them at all.

"One and a half percent Martial Arts Power?" Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback.

Controlling one percent is the Extreme Realm First Layer.

Controlling two percent, the Extreme Realm Second Layer.

Those three Extreme Realm First Layer Heavenly Gold Guards merely controlled one percent of Martial Arts Power.

But considering the lockdown that Elder Duan Yun had just set up, its strength was actually above one and a half percent of Martial Arts Power.

Swoosh, Elder Duan Yun's figure flashed, appearing before the five from Blood Mist Valley.

The battle erupted once again.

The two from Blood Mist Valley, faces pale, watched the fight anxiously.

The three Extreme Realm First Layers joined forces.

"Not letting us leave? Then let's die together."

"Golden Evil Slash."

Three streaks of Golden Light Evil Qi suddenly appeared, their power astonishing.

Besides being Heavenly Gold Guards, they were also experts from the Golden Evil Sect.

Elder Duan Yun, unfazed, skillfully combined the Wandering Cloud Killing Sword and Wandering Cloud Kill Step to the utmost precision.

Golden Light Evil Qi, easily broken by Elder Duan Yun.

But, once the Golden Light Evil Qi was dispersed, instead of vanishing, it lost control and wreaked havoc around.

Bang… Bang… Bang…

The speed of the Golden Light Evil Qi was too fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had ravaged the surroundings into chaos.

"Such powerful evil Qi, Golden Evil Sect, truly lives up to its reputation," Xiao Yi slightly furrowed his brows.

Fortunately, he had blasted the Law Enforcement Team back to the clan right before that, otherwise, an accident would have been inevitable.

Battles at the Extreme Realm level, even just the residual effects, are extremely astonishing.

Of course, it was also fortunate that Xiao Yi had set up a barrier around the Xiao Family early on.

Otherwise, just the Golden Light Evil Qi alone might have razed the Xiao Family to the ground.

Half an hour later.

The battle drew to a close.

Three Extreme Realm First Layer experts, dead under Elder Duan Yun's sword.

Based on Xiao Yi's observation, Elder Duan Yun's true combat strength had reached the standards of the Earth Extreme Second Layer.

Killing these three experts from the Golden Evil Sect was within reason.

"You… you… Duan Yun, Xiao Yi, you've really got some nerve," Blood River shuddered, then fiercely rebuked.

"Heavenly Gold Guards under the command of the Heavenly Gold Country Master, Extreme Realm experts of the Golden Evil Sect, all tragically dead by your hands."

"You just wait, the wrath of Heavenly Gold Country and the Golden Evil Sect is something you can't withstand."

"Hmph," Elder Duan Yun snorted coldly. "I killed them all. If you seek revenge, come find me, Duan Yun."

As his words fell.

Elder Duan Yun waved his sword, ending the lives of two people from Blood Mist Valley with one stroke.

Thus, the once famous two great warriors of the Blood Mist Valley in Flame Martial Kingdom perished in front of the Xiao Family's gates.

Dozens of warriors from far away Heavenly Gold Kingdom, including three Extreme Realm First Layer experts, also all met their demise.

Xiao Yi beckoned with his hand, dissolving the barrier.

The Demon Hunting Palace Law Enforcement Team immediately leapt forward.

"Has the battle ended?" the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team hurriedly asked.

Xiao Yi nodded.

The Law Enforcement Team Captain looked at the scattered corpses and sighed with relief, then took another look at Xiao Yi.

"It's good to hear that the Northern Mountain Sword Master is unharmed, otherwise, we would have failed in our duty."

Speaking, the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team bowed to Duan Yun and said, "We are grateful for the help from the Sword Sect's expert this time."

Elder Duan Yun shook his hand, not saying much.

"If there's no urgent matter, we shall take our leave," said the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team as he bowed.

They would return to outside Purple Cloud City, continuing to secretly protect the Xiao Family.

Xiao Yi said, "This matter, our Xiao Family can handle on our own, there's no need to report it."

"Alright," the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team nodded, then departed.

The group had already left, their conversation barely audible in the distance.

"I wonder which dignitary from inside the palace issued the Demon Hunting Order for the Northern Mountain Sword Master."

"Now, with Elder Duan Yun from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect present, the Xiao Family will surely be safe for many years to come."

Little did they know, their Vice Hall Master was right behind them.

At that moment, Xiao Yi told several Family Elders, "I'll go take care of the bodies, so they don't sully our doorstep. I'll be back shortly."

As he spoke, Xiao Yi waved his hand, enveloping the corpses in a surging Spiritual Energy.

In a flash, Xiao Yi took to the air.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the city, Xiao Yi established a Prohibition.

After absorbing the Soul Power of the experts from Blood Mist Valley, he then cast out a Purple Flame.

The surging Purple Flame completely consumed the bodies.

After cleaning up all traces, Xiao Yi withdrew the Prohibition and turned back to the Xiao Family.

Upon returning to the Xiao Family, a grand banquet was already underway.

The purpose, naturally, was to celebrate the return of their Young Master that day.

Xiao Yi glanced at the Xiao Family gates, where Elder Duan Yun was still sitting upright, feigning sleep.

Xiao Yi smiled, walked towards the gate, and said lightly, "Elder Duan Yun, won't you come in for a quick meal?"

Elder Duan Yun shook his head.

"Was it Senior Swordswoman who ordered you to come?" Xiao Yi smiled.

Xiao Yi recalled that before leaving the clan to participate in the Ice Edge Conference, he had asked Senior Swordswoman for help to look after the Xiao Family.

At that time, Senior Swordswoman had assured him that nothing would happen to the Xiao Family until he returned.

It seems that Elder Duan Yun had been at the Xiao Family since then.

Second update.
