Soul Emperor Martial God

"Brother Xiao Yi," Tie Niu approached with a simple smile.

"Tie Niu," Xiao Yi replied with a knowing smile.

Years had passed, yet Tie Niu's appearance hadn't changed much.

Only that he had grown taller and much more muscular.

"Xiao Yi, bet you didn't expect this, hahaha," Qin Feiyang, Lin Jin, and Liu Yanran chimed in laughingly.

"Tie Niu has been here for a while."

"We left early today specifically to surprise you."

"Of course, the most important thing was that we saw that scoundrel Bai Mohan departing with his team ahead of schedule."

"Skulking about, we knew this bastard was up to no good."

"Never thought the bastard would vanish halfway."

In fact, Qin Feiyang and the others had been tracking Bai Mohan.

But they had lost him along the way.

Flying around the nearby seas for quite some time, they had only just located him.

Of course, by now the battle had already begun.

"It's nothing," Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Tie Niu actually arrived during the first round of competition, he just didn't tell you," Lin Jin explained.

Xiao Yi nodded.

Since the competition began, the two teams had never regrouped.

"I'm also a martial artist from Flame Martial Kingdom, it's natural for me to participate in such a grand event," Tie Niu said, scratching his head.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Let's regroup later, and end the battle first."

Xiao Yi's gaze shifted to Bai Mohan and the others, his eyes cold, his killing intent intensified once more.

At that moment, Jin Bupo and the other 24 were blasted away by Xiao Yi.

All spitting blood, their faces deathly pale.

"Good, very good. Finally waited for you bastards to show up," Han Ming gritted his teeth, his eyes ablaze with fury.

In reality, it was Qin Feiyang and his companions who had killed Han Cang.

"Not sure who the real bastards are," Qin Feiyang remarked disdainfully.

"So many people ganging up and still unable to defeat Brother Xiao Yi."

"Now that we are here, do you still think you stand a chance?"

"Hahahaha," Jin Bupo wiped the blood from his mouth and laughed loudly.

"Such an arrogant Purple Winged Eagle."

"Now that everyone is here, let's kill them all together."

Not far away, Bai Mohan also sneered, "I was hoping to save those things."

"Now it seems, I'll have to use them."

"But, if it can wipe them out, it's worth it."

"Don't hold back any longer, attack."

"Alright," the 24 squad leaders sneered.

In their hands, a light flashed, revealing an object.

It was an ice crystal jade bottle, clear and sparkling, containing a drop of intensely black liquid.

Even from a distance, one could sense the shocking chill it emitted.

"Black Sea Essence," Xiao Yi's expression changed.

Indeed, Black Sea Essence, a total of 25 drops, one per person.

"Tsk tsk, a group of fools," Han Ming smiled triumphantly.

"You think you're the only ones with Black Sea Essence?"

"Originally, these were protective items bestowed by our sect elders."

"Now using them to kill you, it's well worth it."

Black Sea Essence, the Sword Sect team had come first in the initial round and had been rewarded with a drop.

Although Black Sea Essence was precious,

it wasn't difficult for the commanders of various fortresses to acquire some at a certain price.

Those commanders were almost all from the previous or past generations of leaders from various countries.

Naturally, they would grant these protective items to their descendants.

"Even prepared Black Sea Essence, seems like you are eager to kill me quickly," Xiao Yi said coldly.

Xiao Yi's glare set upon Jin Bupo and the other 24.

"Heavenly Gold Kingdom, Ice Martial Kingdom, have grievances with me, wanting to kill me makes sense."

"But why would you other country squads, who have no ties with me, assist Bai Mohan?"

"What? The great Xiao Yi is scared now? Hahahaha," Bai Mohan roared with laughter.

"Just making it clear," Xiao Yi responded with a cold smile.

"After all, I don't want to kill the wrong people."

His icy declaration signaled his immense confidence.

"I give one last warning," Xiao Yi's smirk vanished instantly.

In his place was a ferocious appearance.

"Don't interfere, withdraw now and I'll spare your lives."

"If you dare obstruct again, you die!"

"Big talker," Han Ming sneered coldly, "Don't waste words with him, let's kill him."

"Alright," everyone responded.

Jin Bupo and 24 other people each swallowed the Black Sea Essence.

The Black Sea Essence, when taken by martial artists with the Ice Attribute, could increase their Cultivation.

Other attribute martial artists, when taking it, could significantly increase their combat power in a short time.

The aura of the 25 people suddenly soared.

Han Ming and the other 24 people originally only had the combat power of Extreme Realm First Layer.

Under the enhancement of the Heavenly Flame Formation, they reached the Extreme Realm Second Layer.

Now, having swallowed the Black Sea Essence, their combat power shot directly up to the Earth Extreme Fifth Layer, leaping three layers of power in one go.

Jin Bupo, originally at Earth Extreme Second Layer combat power, reached the Earth Extreme Third Layer under the effect of the Heavenly Flame Formation.

Having taken the Black Sea Essence, his power jumped two layers to peak at the Earth Extreme Fifth Layer.

The higher the realm, the greater the disparity.

The gaps at the Earth Extreme mid-stage were particularly astonishing.

Therefore, Jin Bupo did not jump three layers of power, but only two.

Of course, his peak combat power at the Earth Extreme Fifth Layer was definitely the strongest among the 25.

"Hehe," the 25 people sneered.

"Xiao Yi, do you think you still have a chance of winning?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, ignoring them, and looked towards Qin Feiyang and the others.

"This level of combat is not something you can participate in."

"You guys should withdraw first."

"Impossible," Lin Jin and the others said in unison.

Tie Niu shook his head naively, saying, "Brother Xiao Yi, it's been a long time since I fought alongside you."

"I want to fight the enemy with you."

Xiao Yi frowned.

Qin Feiyang said, "Xiao Yi, don't think about forcing us out of the formation."

"You should know, I can always split a gap and bring everyone back."

Lin Jin said solemnly, "Xiao Yi, I know what you're thinking."

"We'll share the consequences together."

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright."

"Just don't get involved in my fight with those 25."

"Help me protect the Sword Sect disciples."

"Okay, we'll do as you say," Qin Feiyang and the others nodded.

Tie Niu smiled, "As long as I can fight alongside Brother Xiao Yi, it's good."

Not far away, Jin Bupo and the other 24 people laughed fiercely, "Have you said your last words?"

"Having said them, now die."

The 25 people made their move instantly.

Xiao Yi lightly slapped his palm, blasting Qin Feiyang and the four back.

He then held the Blizzard Sword and charged forward.

On his shoulder, a dazzling 'Ice Pattern' was already activated.

A terrifying momentum suddenly exploded around him.

With a whoosh.

His figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was next to Han Ming.

With a booming sound,

The Blizzard Sword heavily chopped down, Han Ming only managed to raise a black spear to block.

The black spear was instantly split into two halves.

The heavy Blizzard Sword immediately blasted Han Ming away.

"How is this possible? Peak of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer combat power?" Jin Bupo and others' faces changed drastically.

Indeed, the current Xiao Yi, after activating the Ice Pattern, possessed the combat power of Peak of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer.

Except for Jin Bupo, none of the others could withstand a single move from him.

"I have already warned you, but you wouldn't listen, so die," Xiao Yi said coldly.

The Blizzard Sword in his hand suddenly burst forth with a fearsome momentum.

"Ice Sky Splitting Slash!"

A terrifying and shrieking blizzard emerged at the tip of the sword.

Surging Cold Ice Martial Arts power filled it.
