Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi disappeared from the original spot.

An hour later, he returned.

However, he was alone.

"Where is the Eldest Prince?" everyone asked in confusion.

"In the lounge, recuperating," Xiao Yi casually replied.

Within the City Lord's Mansion, aside from this spectator area, naturally, lounges were also arranged for martial artists from various powers.

"Can the Eldest Prince recover in time?" the Kuanglan Sect Master asked urgently.

"Perhaps," Xiao Yi responded noncommittally, no longer paying attention to the crowd, but instead looking at Lih Fengxing, asking, "How is the competition going now?"

The Kuanglan Sect Master, Yu Feng, and others urgently asked, "Xiao Yi, can't you explain clearly first..."

"I've said, everything depends on him," Xiao Yi said solemnly.

"What do you mean by everything depends on him?" Qin Hongyi sneered from the side.

"If you're incompetent, you're incompetent, what's the point of pretending?"

"But of course, the famous little thief Xiao Yi probably finds it hard to admit his ineptitude."

"Qin Hongyi, what do you mean?" the Kuanglan Sect Master and Yu Feng frowned.

Qin Hongyi sneered, "You know perfectly well what I mean."

"You are also well aware of how severe the Eldest Prince's injuries were before."

"Even if a Holy-grade Alchemist came, they wouldn't be able to heal him in a short time, not to mention Xiao Yi."

"Deacon Xiao Yi," the Kuanglan Sect Master and Yu Feng quickly looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "She's right."

Although he disliked Qin Hongyi's hostile words, he had to admit, Qin Hongyi was right.

The stronger, the more advanced the cultivation of a martial artist, the harder it is for them to get injured.

And once injured, treatment becomes extremely difficult.

As martial artists' cultivation continuously advances, their bodies naturally become robust through washing by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy during training.

Not as strong as Body Cultivation martial artists, but far stronger than ordinary people.

The higher the cultivation, the greater this strength becomes.

Moreover, their internal organs are always nurtured by their inner Pure Element Power, thus becoming strong.

So, the higher the cultivation of a martial artist, the stronger their physical qualities become.

But once injured, especially like the Eldest Prince now, with serious injuries all over his body, and extremely severe damage to internal organs.

It is exceedingly difficult to heal and recover.

With Xiao Yi's current alchemist skills, it's not that he can't save the Eldest Prince, but he can't heal him in a short time.

At least not within this brief Star Swapping Day Heavenly Talent competition period, impossible.

The Kuanglan Sect Master and Yu Feng's expressions changed dramatically upon hearing this and urgently said, "Deacon Xiao Yi, you took the person away, you must clarify."

"The Eldest Prince's current injuries are no joke."

"..."

Xiao Yi's eyes turned cold, "I've said, I've done my best, everything relies on him."

"Also, I'm not the Eldest Prince's exclusive alchemist, not obliged to save him."

"If you want to question me, if you don't believe me, or if you think you can save him yourselves, you can go to the lounge and find him."

Having said that, Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, no longer paying attention to the two.

Their persistence and entanglement, Xiao Yi had no interest in dealing with.

Xiao Yi looked at Lih Fengxing.

Lih Fengxing nodded and said, "The situation is stranger than I imagined."

"According to previous ceremonies, the competition should have ended long ago."

"But now it seems, at this rate, it may take at least one or two hours more to fully conclude the battles and determine the spots."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi showed a puzzled expression.

Lih Fengxing explained briefly.

Xiao Yi suddenly understood, "You're saying, not long after I just left, Wang Xinghe came on stage."

"Then it was that Young Master Mo, followed by Lvu Qingran, they came on stage one after another?"

"Exactly," Lih Fengxing nodded and said, "Initially, according to past ceremonies, Heavenly Talents continuously battled, and victory was quickly determined."

"Twenty-nine spots were also quickly settled."

"But now, Wang Xinghe, Young Master Mo, and Lvu Qingran keep coming on stage in turns, deliberately dragging out the competition time."

"No," Xiao Yi shook his head, speaking deeply, "They have no interest in dragging out time."

"They simply don't want to face each other directly."

Lih Fengxing's eyes widened and said, "You mean, they don't want to duel so quickly among themselves?"

"Or rather, they don't have absolute confidence in themselves."

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Wang Xinghe has been the champion of consecutive Star Swapping Days."

"Young Master Mo is second, and Lvu Qingran is third."

"In the previous few Star Swapping Days, the top three were always them."

"They've already fought many times, and understand each other's strengths."

"They either don't fight, and once they do, it'll be exceptionally thorough."

"I get it," Lih Fengxing said suddenly, "Actually, they're competing now."

"They're comparing who defeats more Heavenly Talents and who scores more points."

"By the time this all ends, it'll be the real showdown among the three, determining victory or defeat."

"Exactly," Xiao Yi nodded.

"So what do we do now?" Lih Fengxing asked, "Just wait?"

"If we don't wait, as they keep coming on stage in turns, we'll eventually face them."

"With our strength, facing any one of them will be a tough battle, victory uncertain."

"Heh." Xiao Yi smiled slightly, "Then let the competition return to normal."

"What do you mean?" Lih Fengxing asked.

Xiao Yi didn't reply but instead asked, "How much longer do you think it'll take to completely end the competition with the current situation?"

Lih Fengxing thought for a moment and said, "About four hours."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Well, then wait a bit longer."

"Wait for what?" Lih Fengxing asked again.

Xiao Yi answered, "I want to give the Eldest Prince some time."

"Hmm?" Lih Fengxing's face was full of confusion.

Xiao Yi didn't respond, just quietly watching the battle on the Martial Arts Arena.

On the Martial Arts Arena, the battle continued, with a sort of rhythmical appearance.

Wang Xinghe left the stage, followed by Young Master Mo; after Young Master Mo left, Lvu Qingran came up.

The three almost fought against hundreds of Heavenly Talents from over a hundred forces in Star Swapping City.

Time gradually passed.

An hour later, Xiao Yi made a move.

Lih Fengxing noticed and said, "Deacon Xiao Yi, are you going to enter the fray?"

"Yes." Xiao Yi smiled slightly, "I said the competition situation will return to normal."

Continuing to let Wang Xinghe and the other two take turns on stage, Lih Fengxing and others would have no chance to enter.

Swish... Xiao Yi's figure flashed and leaped onto the Martial Arts Arena.

At this time, it was just as Wang Xinghe stepped down.

Xiao Yi frowned, intending to face Wang Xinghe.

But since Wang Xinghe stepped down, so be it.

Then the one coming next...

Sure enough, it's Young Master Mo.

"You're Xiao Yi, aren't you?" Young Master Mo leaped onto the Martial Arts Arena, staring coldly at Xiao Yi.

"I must say, you have guts."

"Just arrived in Star Swapping City, and you dare to compete with people from our two major forces."

"But this was the arrogant outcome you just saw."

"The guy who was beaten to a pulp like a dead dog earlier was your friend, right?"

"Next, your outcome will be the same as his..."

However, before he finished speaking.

Swish... Xiao Yi's figure disappeared from the original spot.

When he reacted, a pair of fists had already arrived in front of him, hitting hard on his face.

Boom... a resounding explosion.

Young Master Mo was directly blasted away a hundred meters, his face covered in blood.

Second update.
