Soul Emperor Martial God

"What?" The gazes of the seven Demon Hunting Hall Heavenly Talents immediately focused on Xiao Yi.

"How presumptuous, does he think he is? Can he just change the competition rules as he pleases?" Golden Emperor coldly rebuked from his seat among the Eight Emperors.

"Arrogant." The other strong contestants from the Main Halls of the Demon Hunting Hall frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Yi Xiao, do you realize what you are saying?" Bing Wuying asked in a deep voice from the Martial Arts Arena.

"Was I not clear enough?" Xiao Yi replied indifferently.

"I have no interest in wasting time, let the seven of them come at me together."

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, are you looking down on us?" Several Heavenly Talents among the seven had their expressions turn suddenly icy, even revealing murderous intent.

"One against seven?" Shangguan Xiyue's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

"This isn't a competition, it's slaughtering."

"Master Yi Xiao, are you so tired of living?"

"His life being worthless is one thing," Bing Baifu said coldly.

"But if we really do this, even if we win, it will not be glorious."

"You want us to win without honor, obscuring our faces with shame?"

Xiao Yi gave a cold smile, "What, are you afraid?"

"As for winning? In my opinion, if you all lose, it will be even more disgraceful for you."

"Arrogant." Six out of the seven coldly snorted with murderous intent in their eyes.

Only Shangguan Xiyue, appeared interested, her lips curving up slightly.

At this moment, the voice of the Heavenly Gold Hall Master rang out from the spectators' seats.

"Esteemed Heavenly Talents, since Yi Xiao has made such a request, let's satisfy him."

"If he is merely self-deluded with no real ability, yet speaks wildly, I think such a person has no qualification to compete against you seven."

"Better to blast him off the Martial Arts Arena sooner rather than later."

"Indeed." The Qianmiao Main Hall also spoke, "This Hall Master also wants to see."

"Whether the renowned Purple Flame Yi Xiao really has that confidence, or if he is just arrogantly overestimating himself and is unworthy of his reputation."

On the Martial Arts Arena.

Bing Wuying hesitated for a moment, "This..."

"As for the rules, if you seven are willing, we can proceed directly with the competition."

Bing Wuying turned to look at Shangguan Xiyue and the others.

Shangguan Xiyue smiled lightly and said, "I don't mind, since the Hall Master has ordered it so, I'll just consider it as killing time."

The others sneered, "We don't mind either, since someone is arrogantly overconfident and wishes to fall in such a manner, we are happy to oblige."

Bing Wuying then turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Yi Xiao, this referee asks you one last time."

"Do you really wish to proceed like this? You still have time to change your mind."

"Otherwise, once the contest begins, the battle between both parties must determine a winner, no regrets allowed."

"Let's begin," Xiao Yi replied briefly.

"Good." Bing Wuying nodded, then with a flash, he soared into the air, controlling the air to reach the skies.

Leaving only a loud shout on the ground, 'The competition begins!'

Swoosh, several Demon Hunting Hall Heavenly Talents had already joined forces in an attack.

The successors from Skywind Main Hall, Heavenly Gold Main Hall, and Red Rock Main Hall, three people teamed up to attack Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi remained unruffled, and with a 'bang', he condensed a Purple Flame in his hand.

Purple Flames turned into serpent-like trails of fire, effortlessly blocking the three attackers.

The exchange of moves from both sides signified that the battle had fully erupted.

From the viewing platform above, the fifteen Hall Masters each smiled contentedly, their faces revealing delight.

"Hall Master, Yi Xiao seems eager to display his strength and talent," observed the Heavenly Gold Hall Master to another.

Beside him, another Main Hall Master said, "Hall Master, the contest has already begun."

"The fight is now a reality."

"If Yi Xiao loses, he will be stopped at the top eight."

"According to our previous agreement, regardless of whether we are satisfied with his performance, he will directly lose the opportunity to obtain that Demon Beast Core."

Heavenly Gold Hall Master said with a smile, "Then, the previous statement by the Hall Master about handing over that core to Yi Xiao can be set aside now."

In the eyes of the fifteen Hall Masters, Yi Xiao's unwise move was simply causing himself to directly lose the chance to get that Demon Beast Core.

The Hall Master remained silent, brows furrowed, intently watching the battle on the Martial Arts Arena.

Down on the Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi faced three opponents alone, without falling behind the slightest.

Representatives from Skywind Main Hall, Heavenly Gold Main Hall, and Red Rock Main Hall, the successors of the three institutions, were all of considerable strength.

In terms of Cultivation, the three of them were only at Half-step Earth Extreme.

At this moment, they had already brought out High Grade Primordial Artifacts and had even deployed Secret Techniques, along with the condensation of Martial Soul Illusions.

With the threefold enhancement,

their combat power surged instantly to the Peak of Extreme Realm Third Layer, no different from Dugu Kuang's.

Their Martial Souls were all of Blue Peak Stage, but in themselves, they were not as strong as Dugu Kuang's "Eight Extremes Mad Lion."

Martial Soul amplification was less significant than Dugu Kuang's.

However, their Secret Techniques were even more formidable than Dugu Kuang's.

The sixteen successors of the Demon Hunting Hall had each received the inheritance from their respective Demon Hunting Hall Main Halls.

And the inheritances of the Demon Hunting Hall's Secret Techniques were naturally much more powerful than those from the Wild Martial Sect.

By the way, in the area of Martial Soul amplification, the higher the Martial Soul Rank, the greater the amplification after consolidation.

Even if they were both of Blue Peak Stage, there would be some differences.

Moreover, special effects and categories would also result in differences.

Nevertheless, even though they were of the same Peak Combat Power of the Extreme Realm Third Layer,

Xiao Yi was certain that the three before him were definitely stronger than Dugu Kuang.

If Dugu Kuang were to face any of these three, even if he couldn't determine a victor within a short period, the one who would ultimately be defeated would surely be Dugu Kuang.

The eight mighty Heavenly Talents of the Demon Hunting Hall were not to be underestimated.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was also using a "Secret Technique."

He was already cloaked in Purple Flame.

Simultaneously, his other hand condensed another surge of golden flame, precisely the Earth Vein Golden Fire.

Different from the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame's Destroying Everything feature,

the Earth Vein Golden Fire was an exceptionally wild and explosive fire, with astonishing explosive power.

At this moment, with the addition of both flames,

"Go." Xiao Yi uttered a cold command.

One hand unleashed a surging Purple Flame, like a purple dragon, devouring towards the three.

The other hand brought forth a surge of Golden Fire, turning into a magma giant fist, blasting towards them.

The purple dragon instantly consumed all the three's attacks and their Protective Primordial Power.

The magma giant fist heavily struck the three individuals.

The golden firelight engulfed the three.

As the golden firelight subsided, the three from within were in a sorry state, with tattered clothes, vomiting mouthfuls of fresh blood, and were already severely injured.

"What? How is this possible?" An exclamation erupted from the spectator seats.

"The eight mighty Heavenly Talents of the Demon Hunting Hall were defeated in less than a minute?"

From the time the three attacked Xiao Yi to their being swallowed by the golden fire and left with severe injuries, not even a minute had passed.

Xiao Yi withdrew his flames, looking coldly at the four who had not made a move before.

"If you don't all attack together, you won't stand a chance of winning against me," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

The complexions of two among the four changed drastically.

Bing Baifu only exhibited a hint of wariness.

But this flicker of wariness soon transformed into formidable fighting spirit.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, truly living up to the reputation," Bing Baifu said in a solemn voice.

"But that doesn't mean you have the right to look down on us."

"At least, before me, you're not qualified."

Bing Baifu chuckled, his eyes revealing a sliver of bloodthirsty light.

"To defeat those three does give you the right to compel me to make a move."

In Bing Baifu's hands, a pair of white boxing gloves appeared.

Light surged on the gloves, clearly not a common item.

"Hundred Martial Boxing Gloves, Top-grade Elemental Artifact," Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

The feeling Bing Baifu gave him was much stronger than that of the three who had combined forces just a moment ago.

...

Third release.
