Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi fought fiercely against both Dugu Kuang and Feng Jueqing.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and Cold Frost densely covered the surroundings.

Time passed gradually.

Before long, the situation in the battle became increasingly clear.

Feng Jueqing had already suffered no light injuries under Xiao Yi's sword.

Dugu Kuang, although still appearing crazed, now bore numerous Sword Marks, with fresh blood flowing freely.

The Green Illusion Fire sent by Lin Qing'er was also completely frozen into Ice Dust by the Cold Frost.

As for the 'Life-extinguishing Fire' hidden within the Golden Yuan Formation, Xiao Yi had never taken it seriously from the beginning.

It wouldn't be long before the three of them would be defeated without a doubt.

...

Above, in the spectator seats reserved for the Eight Great Commanders.

The Ice Emperor looked to a middle-aged man beside him and frowned, "Emperor Tong, that Lin Qing'er from your Thousand Eyes Sect can actually Illusion the 'Life-extinguishing Fire', which is quite impressive."

"Shame she's still too inexperienced."

"Exactly," the Golden Emperor said discontentedly, "The 'Life-extinguishing Fire' is known for being sufficiently cunning to catch one off guard and difficult to detect."

"Often by the time the opponent realizes it, they have already suffered extensive damage to their vitality, leaving them without the strength to recover."

"Your junior, Lin Qing'er, on the other hand, revealed her hand directly and even told others that she had hidden numerous flames within the Formation."

"In doing so, even a fool would know to be on guard."

"Xiao Yi's swath of Cold Frost has already negated the efficacy of the flames."

"If this were not the case, Xiao Yi would have already been defeated by now."

"Hehe," the middle-aged man, Emperor Tong, chuckled lightly.

Emperor Tong might look middle-aged, but in terms of age, he was not any younger than the other Great Commanders and was even a bit older.

He was a former Sect Master of the Thousand Eyes Sect hundreds of years ago.

And also one of the most outstanding Sect Masters in the history of the Thousand Eyes Sect.

"This girl, Qing'er, doesn't have a bad character. She's just too willful and arrogant," said Emperor Tong with a light laugh.

"In her view, even if she disclosed her plans, Xiao Yi would have difficulty resisting."

"The 'Life-extinguishing Fire' is one of the strongest flames in the world, not so easily neutralized."

"To maintain the Cold Frost that blankets the surroundings, Xiao Yi must utilize a great deal of Primordial Power, which could be seen as indirectly depleting his strength."

The Wind Emperor frowned and said, "But now it appears that Xiao Yi is clearly doing it effortlessly, with abundant Primordial Power. How could this be?"

...

Down below at the Martial Arts Arena.

On the other side, Tuoba Ao and his group, who had been blasted away, had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

"Dammit, this Xiao Yi's strength is too formidable," Tuoba Ao said in a deep voice.

"The combined efforts of Dugu Kuang, Lin Qing'er, and Feng Jueqing can only just manage to restrain him."

The trio of Dugu Kuang was among the strongest Heavenly Talents of the various Kingdoms and Martial Arts Holy Lands on the continent.

Huangfu Ya said in a deep voice, "Once the boost from the Formation and the Secret Technique fades, we will undoubtedly be defeated."

"Defeat is the least of our worries," Tuoba Ao said, "According to what Mo Han said, Xiao Yi is extremely brutal."

"Once he overpowers us, I'm afraid we will be in grave danger."

"It seems we have no choice but to use that method," said Huangfu Ya.

"Agreed," Wan Zuolang and Bing Wujiang nodded simultaneously.

The four of them then turned their gaze to Bai Mohan, who was at a greater distance, and nodded their heads.

Bai Mohan returned the nod from afar, with a nefarious smile on his face.

From the beginning, Bai Mohan had not joined the battle.

Claiming he needed to maintain the Great Formation.

"The Great Formation, arise!" Bai Mohan called out sharply.

Almost the instant his words landed.

Within the Golden Yuan Formation, fierce winds suddenly erupted.

Layers of white mist and black mist ran rampant around the Formation.

A cold air and a pungent smell spread throughout the entire Formation.

"Uh?" Xiao Yi frowned and looked towards the edge of the Formation.

There, countless 'Ice Dust' and 'Poisons', which had been stationary on the ground, were now running wild.

These were remnants from the previous rounds of battle.

Ice Dust, tiny as grains of sand, already had the power of a small storm.

Hence, they persisted on the ground for a long time.

The poison, made of thousands of types, was extremely dense.

Spreading around, it lingered for a long time.

Because of these remnants of battle, they had been blown to an area ten miles away by the might of various battles.

In addition, without the control of Wujiang and Wan Zuolang, they lay still, posing no threat or effect.

Therefore, after previous battles, almost no one paid any attention to these two things.

Each major battle would leave various different remnants and auras on the Martial Arts Arena.

Of course, no one would notice these things.

But now, these two traces had become unquestionably the 'sharp weapons' in Bai Mohan's formation.

The white Ice Dust, the black intense poison, continuously gathering.

In its unrelenting surge, it gradually formed two dragons, their colors interlacing black and white.

"So it is, you all had a plan all along," Xiao Yi swung his sword, repelling Dugu Kuang, and looked coldly towards Bai Mohan in the distance.

"Hahahaha." Bai Mohan let out a sinister laugh.

"Xiao Yi, do you think there was a reason why Bing Wujiang and Wan Zuolang faced you one after the other in the previous battles?"

"Hehe." Bai Mohan sneered, but did not continue his explanation.

However, Xiao Yi had already come to a realization.

In the top 32, he faced Bing Wujiang.

In the top 16, he faced Wan Zuolang.

These two, they knew they were no match for Xiao Yi.

In their battles with Xiao Yi, they exerted their full strength, and their final attacks were almost always with their Primordial Power nearly spent.

'Endless Ice Dust', and 'Ten Thousand Poison Annihilation'.

All just to leave their 'Ice Dust' and countless 'intense poisons' on the Martial Arts Arena to the greatest extent possible.

Defeated by Xiao Yi's hands, they still had one more chance to challenge weaker opponents and advance successfully.

And when they faced weaker opponents, once again, they had the opportunity to leave their 'Ice Dust' and 'intense poisons' on the Martial Arts Arena.

Of course, the battles between the Heavenly Talents were carried out by drawing lots.

It seemed like mere coincidence.

But Xiao Yi was convinced that it was no simple twist of fate.

Because in the top 16, when Wan Zuolang faced Tuoba Ao, Tuoba Ao conceded without a fight.

Clearly, Tuoba Ao and the others had prepared for this, planning to let Wan Zuolang join the top 8 battle to manipulate those 'intense poisons'.

At this moment, the fiercely rampaging dragons of Ice Dust and poison roamed about atop the Great Formation.

The entire Golden Origin Formation suddenly became a Land of Silence, a world of snow and ice yet with astonishing toxicity.

Simultaneously, Bing Wujiang and Wan Zuolang were still continuously gathering Ice Dust and hundreds of poisons.

Intensifying the snowstorm and toxicity within the Great Formation.

"Xiao Yi, do you think our target is you?" Bai Mohan sneered.

The next second, Bai Mohan swept his hand grandly.

The skies full of snow and fierce poison viciously targeted the people from the Sword Sect.

Their objective was straightforward; if they couldn't contend with Xiao Yi, then they would kill all members of the Sword Sect and Snow Winged Eagle Clan teams.

With all team members defeated, Xiao Yi would be left alone, and according to the rules, it would immediately be judged as a defeat.

Now, everyone was within the Golden Yuan Formation.

For Bai Mohan, sending snow and poison raining down on the Sword Sect through the Golden Yuan Formation was effortless.

"You're looking for death." Xiao Yi's eyes turned frosty, filled with murderous intent.

He slashed through mid-air, sending a wave of Sword Qi flying straight towards Bai Mohan.

"Don't even think about harming Young Master Mohan." Huangfu Ya and Tuoba Ao shouted coldly.

"Red Rock Giant Stone." Huangfu Ya waved his hand, and a sturdy red giant stone materialized out of thin air.

"Roar." Tuoba Ao roared, and the Martial Soul Illusion of a Desert Giant Beast of the Blue Rank condensed into form.

The Desert Giant Beast was a Level 8 Demon Beast, with a massive build and stone giant-like appearance, possessing an astonishing defensive capability.

The two of them firmly stood about ten meters in front of Bai Mohan, easily blocking Xiao Yi's Sword Qi.

By this time, the snow and poison had already fallen fiercely on the heads of those from the Sword Sect.

With a roar, Tie Niu conjured an Illusion of a demon beast.

His vast body crouched down, shielding everyone beneath him.

The snowstorm and poison then all struck his back.

"Tie Niu." The team members cried out in shock.

In the spectator stands above, Emperor Yee's expression turned icy cold, "Golden Emperor, Ice Emperor, you manipulated the drawing of lots, didn't you?"

"Hehe." The Golden Emperor replied with an amused smile, "Emperor Yee, without evidence, don't falsely accuse this Emperor."

Back on the Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi's eyes were thick with killing intent, about to deal with Bai Mohan and the others.

Sword Qi alone couldn't break through the defense of Huangfu Ya and the others.

But if he got close enough to strike, these four scum couldn't withstand his sword.

The combined attacks of Dugu Kuang, Feng Jueqing, and Lin Qing'er came at him once more.

"Get out of my way," Xiao Yi shouted coldly.

"Impossible," Feng Jueqing replied coldly.

Lin Qing'er bit her lip and said, "Xiao Yi, if you don't want your team members to die, surrender immediately."

Dugu Kuang had already gone mad, attacking Xiao Yi silently and relentlessly.

"You all...very well, very well indeed," Xiao Yi's chilliness burst through his teeth.

"Do you really think I can't handle the three of you?"

...

First update.
