Soul Emperor Martial God

On the Martial Arts Arena, all main and subdivision teams from seven kingdoms took the stage.

Although there were seven kingdoms, the number of teams was considerably more.

After all, the subdivisions must also be included.

The Demon Hunting Hall referee glanced at the eight leaders and asked, "Are there any doubts about the rules?"

"If not, the battle may begin."

"The range of hundreds of miles around the Soldier Inspection Platform is your battleground, where you may fight unrestrainedly."

No one expressed doubts, and the Demon Hunting Hall referee soared into the sky, controlling the air.

The battle began instantaneously.

As expected, nearly all teams swiftly directed their attacks towards Xiao Yi's side.

The team of Bing Wujiang; the main team and subdivisions of Huangfu Ya from Red Rock Kingdom;

The main team and subdivisions of Wan Zuolang from Black Wood Kingdom.

The subdivision led by Tuoba Ao.

Along with Bai Mohan.

In total, seven teams attacked at the same time.

"Hmph," Xiao Yi snorted coldly, already prepared.

With a wave of his hand, a surge of Primordial Power enveloped Qin Feiyang, Lin Jin, and everyone else.

Then, with a strong push, he thrust them far into a corner.

Boom... boom... boom...

Bai Mohan, Bing Wujiang, Wan Zuolang, and several others seized the opportunity to heavily slam several palm strikes onto him.

A series of explosions followed.

Yet, other than causing his footsteps to stagger, Xiao Yi remained unscathed.

With a flash, he quickly widened the distance between himself and the other teams, arriving at the corner to protect everyone behind him.

"Despicable," Lingg Yu coldly exclaimed.

In the distance, warriors from the other six kingdoms gathered together.

However, Dugu Kuang, Lin Qing'er, and Feng Jueqing did not make a move.

Nor did they seize the opportunity to attack Xiao Yi.

"Sword Sect's Genius, Xiao Yi, are you ready?" Feng Jueqing asked coldly.

"I can wait for you to position your teammates before I make a move."

Feng Jueqing's icy gaze fixed on Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi remained silent.

Frowning, Feng Jueqing said, "I know you are also a Sword Dao expert."

"Honestly, I, too, wish to fight you fairly."

"But you did kill a subdivision of my Skywind Kingdom, so I am destined to take your life."

As the Eldest Prince of Skywind, it was natural for him to seek vengeance for the Skywind warriors.

The second round saw Xiao Yi killing 25 teams, covering subdivisions from almost the other 15 kingdoms.

This was the main reason these six large kingdom teams banded together now.

However, many of the kingdoms were lucky to have only one subdivision extinguished.

For instance, the Ice Martial Kingdom, both the Ice Martial Sect and Mystic Ice Saint Sect subdivisions were wiped out.

Heavenly Gold Kingdom had all three teams annihilated, including the main team.

By the third round of competition, they were already out of the East Sea Festival.

On one side, Lin Qing'er, the team leader from Thousand Eyes Sect, also watched Xiao Yi with cold eyes.

"Sword Sect's Genius, Xiao Yi, after two rounds of competition, you have truly embarrassed my Thousand Eyes Sect," said Lin Qing'er coldly.

The term 'embarrassed' was used because Qianmiao Kingdom only had two teams in total.

One was the main team of Thousand Eyes Sect led by Lin Qing'er; the other was the team of the Qianmiao Kingdom Royal Family.

Indeed, Qianmiao Kingdom just had two teams.

Previously, although Flame Martial Kingdom only had the Sky-splitting Sword Sect as a Martial Arts Holy Land.

The Snow Winged Eagle Clan also participated in the East Sea Festival.

Thus, the Flame Martial side had three teams.

With 16 kingdoms, there should have been 48 teams, but there were only 47 actual teams.

This was because Qianmiao Kingdom was the only kingdom with just one Martial Arts Holy Land.

However, even though Qianmiao Kingdom only had Thousand Eyes Sect as a Martial Arts Holy Land, its warrior power far exceeded that of the other kingdoms.

Thousand Eyes Sect was almost the strongest among the 31 Martial Arts Holy Lands.

Its sect power could roughly compare to that of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect in its un-declined days.

Of course, this is not counting Senior Swordswoman.

As one of the strongest teams in this East Sea Festival, Qianmiao Kingdom.

In the third round, besides the main team leader, not a single other person made it into the top 32.

On the contrary, other kingdoms and their teams, which were relatively weaker, managed to have at least one subdivision team leader make it into the top 32.

This led to Qianmiao Kingdom being ridiculed considerably by other kingdom teams.

This was what Lin Qing'er referred to as "embarrassing."

"Honestly, although ganging up against your Sword Sect's team is quite despicable," Lin Qing'er said coldly, eyeing Xiao Yi.

"But, your Sword Sect's team really annoys me."

"Especially you, Xiao Yi, you're making me lose all interest in the upcoming rounds."

"Tch," Qin Feiyang scoffed from a distance behind Xiao Yi.

"My brother Xiao Yi is making you lose interest in competing?"

"Tsk tsk, Miss Qing'er must have fallen for my brother Xiao Yi."

"How insolent," Lin Qing'er flushed with embarrassment and anger.

"In a word, with you, Xiao Yi, present on this Martial Arts Arena, you make me feel unpleasant."

"Before our six kingdoms truly compete, let's first throw you off the platform."

"You ranked first in the previous two rounds, this third round, you should be at the bottom."

In fact, Lin Qing'er was about 23 or 24 years old, also possessing a stunning beauty.

Dressed in a flowing blue garment, she looked ethereal and delicate.

However, her arrogant and domineering tone was very off-putting.

"Damn, what an arrogant woman," Qin Feiyang sneered, "You think you're the boss? Who made you the ruler?"

"Brother Xiao Yi, handle her."

Qin Feiyang's words carried a double meaning.

Lin Qing'er, her face flushing with fury, suddenly exploded, "Thug, vulgar, it seems none in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect's team are decent."

"Make your move."

Lin Qing'er commanded coldly.

Tuoba Ao spoke from the side, "Miss Qing'er, don't be angered by those scoundrels; it's not worth it."

"Miss Qing'er, you must have heard of Mo Han's reputation."

"As the once first Heavenly Talent of the Flame Martial Kingdom and representing the Flame Martial Royal Family's team this time."

"Mo Han has utterly refused to help the Sword Sect's team, and it's shameful to be associated with them."

"It's clear to see, the Sword Sect's team, isn't anything good."

As Tuoba Ao spoke, his gaze towards Lin Qing'er revealed a peculiar fervor and admiration.

"I, the prince, will properly discipline these ignorant fools on Miss Qing'er's behalf later."

"Of course, you should also not hold back, Miss Qing'er."

"The Sword Sect's team, a bunch of scoundrels, better to kill them off quickly."

From a distance, Xiao Yi frowned.

It seemed he now understood why Tuoba Ao had conceded earlier.

The rules of the third round allowed for subdivisions as well to participate.

Which meant if Dugu Kuang could make it to the top 8, their Great Wilderness Kingdom's subdivisions could join the competition too.

And, with Wan Zuolang's success reaching the top 8, it was equivalent to pulling another of Black Wood Kingdom's subdivisions into the fray of the top 8.

"Are you done talking?" Dugu Kuang frowned at the people beside him.

"Done, it's time to start."

Tuoba Ao's face sank, whispering softly, "Dugu Kuang, don't be rash, have you forgotten the instructions from the King and Sect Master?"

"I can't hold back anymore," Dugu Kuang bellowed.

He moved swiftly, charging towards Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi, remember what I told you?"

"I said I'd settle the score with you, take my punch."

Dugu Kuang's fist, charged with terrifying force, blasted directly at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi serenely unafraid, the Blizzard Sword appeared out of thin air.

His figure shifted, taking ten steps forward, he slashed with his sword.

A fierce Sword Qi slashed through the air.

Boom... A loud explosion.

Dugu Kuang's figure didn't stop, his speed undiminished, his fist unharmed.

Instead, the Sword Qi shattered instantly.

...

Third release.
