Soul Emperor Martial God

Thump... Thump... Thump...

Ice Wuying and another, their attacks coming in succession.

Xiao Yi defended with his sword, each time being forced back.

The hand gripping his sword had already split at the base of the thumb.

The fresh blood spouting from his mouth had gradually turned into a mist.

His internal organs sustained increasing damage.

Ice Wuying and Bing Xuantian, both leaders of their fortress, late-stage Earth Extreme Realm powerhouses.

The attacks they launched together were no trifling matter.

But Xiao Yi kept resisting; although pushed back continuously, he stood steadfastly in front of the people from the Sword Sect.

Behind him, not far away, Lin Jin and the others clenched their teeth, their eyes nearly bursting with ferocity.

This was the ultimate anger, the ultimate suppression.

"Brother Xiao Yi, we'll help you,"

Lin Jin and Tie Niu acted immediately.

"Fall back," a fierce shout came from ahead.

Xiao Yi slightly turned his head and coldly stopped everyone.

The group was shocked as they caught a fleeting glimpse of Xiao Yi's face turning quickly and then back again.

That face was covered in fresh blood.

But beneath the blood was a face pale enough to be daunting.

The face was handsome and dashing but distorted, fierce, and in pain.

What kind of pressure was he really bearing?

How severe were his injuries?

Boom...

At the same time, just because Xiao Yi briefly turned his head to shout,

Ice Wuying and the other seized the moment and struck him hard.

"Pu." The blood mist Xiao Yi spewed was no longer rich, extremely faint.

"Xiao Yi." The hearts of the people from the Sword Sect clenched, aching.

"Stop resisting, let go,"

"Otherwise, you'll be shaken to death," Bai Bingxue said anxiously, tears glimmering in her eyes.

The combined attack of two late-stage Earth Extreme Realm powerhouses was something they couldn't help with.

They wanted to fight alongside Xiao Yi,

but feared they would hold him back, making his situation even worse.

From afar, Meng Luo stared tightly at that silhouette.

"Young Master Xiao Yi," Meng Luo said in a low voice.

The figure wasn't particularly burly, but it was quite towering.

That figure, now covered in wounds and extremely disheveled,

To her eyes, it was of a man who couldn't be 'stronger'.

That blood-soaked body at the forefront inspired trust.

As if the sky were falling, there would be no need to worry.

Because the name of that figure was Xiao Yi.

Lin Jin and the others, grinding their teeth, "A pair of old dogs, what else can you do besides bully the young?"

"Unless we all die today,"

"Otherwise, within a hundred years, we will surely slaughter every last one of you from the Ice Martial Kingdom, every fort."

As one of the most outstanding young talents of their generation,

The words of Lin Jin and the others weren't empty bravado.

In a hundred years, to what heights they could grow, no one dared to estimate.

"Hmph," Ice Wuying and the other's expression changed, followed by a cold snort.

"Slaughter Ice Martial Kingdom? Wait until you have the life to leave."

Their eyes were filled with murderous intent as they stared at Xiao Yi.

"Kid, let's see how long you can keep up."

Xiao Yi's face was tragic, but he sneered coldly, "Long enough to drag the two of you with me to hell."

"Facing death, yet still speaking so arrogantly." Ice Wuying and the other intensified their attack.

The power in their palms was alarming.

Xiao Yi was still trying desperately to hold on.

In fact, the concern Ice Wuying had in his heart wasn't wrong.

Xiao Yi indeed had been preparing something, brewing something.

But now was not yet the time.

He was waiting.

He had enough confidence to send these two to hell before he fell.

However, a few seconds later, the dozens of fast-approaching figures completely disrupted his plan.

It also made his heart feel unprecedentedly solemn and anxious.

"Ice Emperor." When Ice Wuying and the other saw the newcomers, their faces brightened with joy.

Indeed, the dozens of swiftly arriving figures were led by none other than the Ice Emperor.

Behind him were more than a dozen leaders from other fortresses.

As these individuals arrived and saw the hundreds of bodies floating on the sea, a fiery rage erupted in their eyes.

Especially when they saw Ice Wuying and the other attacking Xiao Yi and that the people of the Sword Sect were unharmed,

They had guessed what had happened.

"Greetings, Ice Emperor, greetings to the seniors," Bai Mohan bowed in greeting.

From a distance, the 27 judges from the Demon Hunting Hall hurried over and bowed slightly.

"Ice Emperor, commanders, please quickly stop Ice Wuying and the other leader," the 27 judges from the Demon Hunting Hall said solemnly.

"Hmph." The Ice Emperor snorted coldly, "To kill is to pay with one's life, it's the justice of heaven and earth. Why stop them?"

"But... the Sword Sect team hasn't violated any competition rules, this..." The 27 judges from the Demon Hunting Team hesitated, "Isn't that unfair?"

"What is fair? Without strength, what fairness is there to speak of?" said the Ice Emperor, coldly.

Xiao Yi was still desperately holding on from a distance.

The preparation he had been brewing all along had been interrupted as soon as the Ice Emperor and the others appeared.

A trace of his mind had already moved to the Ice Phoenix Sword in the Small World.

In fact, the Ice Emperor was not wrong.

Strength is the only language of power in this world.

Without strength, all other so-called trump cards and identities are in vain.

Now, the only thing Xiao Yi could do, the only thing he could rely on, was his ultimate trump card—the Ice Phoenix Sword.

"Perhaps, days ago, I should not have spared your life," the Ice Emperor said coldly, staring at Xiao Yi.

"Otherwise, today's events would not have occurred."

"To let my Ice Martial Genius and other kingdoms' geniuses perish almost to the last man."

"Enough, since it has happened, you all should pay with your lives."

As his words fell, the Ice Emperor coldly waved his hand.

A beam of white light, as swift in killing as it was the day it slaughtering thousands of Deep Sea Demon Wolves, descended from nowhere.

The white light was aimed straight at Xiao Yi.

The breath of terror was so extreme that the entire heaven and earth paled in comparison.

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, "Want me dead? Then let's die together."

His mind was already connected to the Ice Phoenix Sword, ready to be triggered.

But, at that moment.

A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The figure seemed to have descended from the heavens.

The terrifying pressure instantly dispersed the white light.

"Hm?" The Ice Emperor frowned, looking towards the newcomer.

"Emperor Yee."

The person was one of the Eight Great Commanders, Emperor Yee.

Also the Commander of the Flame Martial Kingdom, in charge of the Flame Martial Fortress.

"Phew." Xiao Yi suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking at the shadow in front of him, his heart was struck with extreme shock.

The figure, dressed in a black robe, exuded an aura that made Xiao Yi shiver.

This person was very strong.

That was the sole thought in Xiao Yi's mind at the moment.

"Emperor Yee," the Ice Emperor's cold voice sounded, "You dare to meddle in this affair?"

"As I know, Xiao Yi is at odds with all forces of your Flame Martial Kingdom."

"Apart from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, everywhere he goes, enemies surround him."

"You're helping him?"

The person, namely Emperor Yee, suddenly broke into a smile.

"Xiao Yi has nothing to do with me, but my child is here, Ice Emperor. It seemed just now you wanted to kill the son of this Emperor."

"Hm?" The Ice Emperor's brows knitted.

At that moment, a straightforward voice came from behind Xiao Yi.

"Dad," it was Tie Niu speaking.

That's right, Emperor Yee, the Clan Leader of the Rock Family.

Commander of the Rock Army guarding outside the Flame Martial Fortress.

Since the Rock Army stationed at the Flame Martial Fortress, for five hundred years, not once has the Abyss Demon Beast breached a ten-mile radius, all annihilated before approaching the walls.

Emperor Yee was also known as the Head of the East Sea Eight Emperors.

"Emperor Yee, lives have been claimed, our talenteous youths from 16 different kingdoms, totaling hundreds, surely they cannot die in vain."

From afar, multiple shouts erupted.

Several figures, carrying formidable power, appeared in an instant.

"Golden Emperor, Wind Emperor, Emperor Huang..." Emperor Yee furrowed his brows.

Including the Ice Emperor, there were now five Commanders standing opposed to him.

"Emperor Yee, take your son and leave," the Golden Emperor spoke gravely, "Xiao Yi, along with the others, we must kill."

"What if I say no?" Emperor Yee said indifferently.

"Then we must fight, our future talents cannot die in vain," the Golden Emperor said coldly.

"Though you are the Head of the Eight Emperors, if we five Commanders join forces, you are not our match."

"Step aside, if we, as seniors, cannot avenge our juniors, then what face do we have left?"

The five Great Commanders, their aura exploded in an instant.

Emperor Yee's expression changed.

Just then, a cold shout came from the sky.

"Do you still care about face?"

As the cold voice fell, a figure in white appeared out of nowhere.

"Sky-splitting Sword Maiden," the five Great Commanders' faces changed drastically.

The person was none other than the Senior Swordswoman.

Almost the instant the white-clothed woman appeared, frost descended upon the entire surface of the Endless Black Sea.

In a matter of seconds.

Thousands of miles of the sea area turned into a world of ice and snow.

A sword of frost suddenly appeared in the woman's hand, pointing directly at the five Great Commanders.

The ultimate cold Sword Qi pressed down so heavily that the five Great Commanders staggered.

"Sky-splitting Sword Maiden, creating such a huge uproar, do you want to escalate the century's Beast Tide prematurely?" the Ice Emperor shouted angrily.

"Hmph," the woman snorted coldly, "You all want to kill my Sword Sect's Genius, destroy my Sword Sect's Inheritance and future."

"Why should I be polite to you?"

"I want to see if these 16 fortresses of the East Sea can keep you five safe."

As her words ended, a burst of Sword Qi roared out.

The five Great Commanders, instantly vomited blood, blown a hundred miles away.

Behind the woman, Xiao Yi suddenly smiled.

The next second, Xiao Yi's eyes darkened, and he fainted completely.

His injuries had been extremely serious for some time now, he was just waiting, just holding on.

What he was waiting for was the Senior Swordswoman.

Now that the Senior Swordswoman had appeared, he knew no one could harm them anymore.

His mind relaxed, and he completely collapsed.

All this time, from entering the East Sea Fortress, his greatest reassurance was not anything else but the Senior Swordswoman.

He wouldn't misjudge; the Senior Swordswoman's usual indolence was a kind of absolute confidence that seemed to look down upon the world.

A confidence he had not even seen in the eyes of such beings like the Ice Emperor.
