Soul Emperor Martial God

Bang… Bang… Bang…

The clash between fire and lightning erupted to the extreme at this moment.

Thousands of bolts of lightning descended from the sky, ravaging the earth.

The flame meteors fiercely attacked, incinerating everything.

In almost an instant, an area of several miles radius became a zone filled with nothing but endless lightning and fire.

The hundreds of heavenly talents watching the battle, their expressions changed dramatically.

They had already retreated far away, but now they hurriedly moved back again.

However, the ravaging zone of lightning and fire was still expanding.

From the sky to the ground, the power, temperature, and ferocity of the entire area were still sharply rising.

The retreating speed of the heavenly talents was far from enough.

"Damn it, these two lunatics."

"If this continues, we won't be able to keep up with the speed."

"If caught in it, we'll be at least heavily injured, if not dead."

"Damn, I would have known not to come to watch this excitement."

Each of the heavenly talents showed anxious expressions.

Swish… Swish… Swish…

Several powerful figures suddenly arrived swiftly, standing in front of the heavenly talents.

"Quickly retreat into Fangcun City."

The heavenly talents' eyes brightened, "They're experts from the City Lord's Mansion."

"Yes, retreat to Fangcun City."

"Fangcun City has the City Lord's formation barrier, it can ensure safety."

The heavenly talents quickly leaped towards Fangcun City.

...

On the other side, the battle between Xiao Yi and Ran Qi continued.

A few minutes later, the stalemate in the battle suddenly saw a breakthrough.

The power of the lightning rapidly decreased.

Countless meteor flames burned all the lightning to ashes in just a moment.

Ran Qi's Thousand Thunders couldn't resist Xiao Yi's Skyfire Meteor.

Ran Qi sneered, his face showing even more intense battle intent.

The Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear in his hand trembled.

Sizzle… Sizzle… Sizzle

Intense sizzling sounds were generated at the spear's tip.

"Thunder Dragon," Ran Qi shouted, pointing with his spear.

A bolt of lightning shot out from the spear's tip, turning into a thunder dragon that charged straight at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi remained unfazed, both hands reached out.

His flame-wrapped palms easily restrained the thunder dragon.

Boom…

The thunder dragon was torn apart.

In the distance, Ran Qi sneered, "You can stop one, but can you stop ten, a hundred, a thousand?"

"Thunder Roar."

Ran Qi's aura suddenly exploded, veins bulging under his skin.

A monstrous power instantly surged in the sky.

Heavy, oppressive, violent, unstoppable.

The heavenly talents watching from the Fangcun City walls gasped.

"There it is, Thunder Roar, Ran Qi's most powerful and renowned martial technique."

"It's with this move that he firmly holds the second position among the Eighteen Mansions's Talents."

"Among the younger generation in the Central Region, fewer than five can withstand this move."

Many heavenly talents nodded, "That Yi Xiao has done well to hold out until now."

"Indeed, even if he loses to this move, it's enough for him to brag about in the future."

...

In the distance, the entire sky turned into a mass of lightning clouds.

Rolling thunderclouds gathered densely.

Xiao Yi glanced at the sky, a feeling of unease rising in his heart.

This proved that these thunderclouds in the sky were enough to pose a threat to him, even to his life.

"The heavenly talents from the Central Region Eighteen Prefectures are truly formidable." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

In the next moment, he formed a mysterious hand seal with his hands.

One after another, mysterious handprints were quickly cast out.

"Thunder Roar, descend," Ran Qi pointed his spear.

Boom…

In the sky, torrents of lightning poured down.

It looked like a blue lightning waterfall, the surging lightning erupting fiercely.

"Skyfire Seal, release," Xiao Yi murmured, as he cast out a mysterious handprint.

Boom…

The descending torrents of lightning were ferocious and violent.

The launched Skyfire Seal was unstoppable.

The moment the two collided, a deafening explosion sounded.

A violent airflow erupted at the point of contact between the two.

Within a hundred miles, trees turned to dust, the ground shattered into pieces.

The airflow heavily struck the gates of Fangcun City.

The heavenly talents' expressions changed dramatically.

But on Fangcun City, a barrier appeared inexplicably.

Boom… another explosion rang out.

The entire Fangcun City trembled a little, but ultimately the barrier stopped the airflow, unable to damage the city walls.

The heavenly talents let out a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, the Fangcun City Lord's formation is formidable."

Everyone's gaze focused back on the center of the battle between the two.

Everyone was aware that the attacks unleashed by the two were merely the aftermath, and yet so powerful; if truly erupted, it might reach a terrifying degree.

In the distance, the clash of rolling lightning and the flame seal was in a stalemate.

But the pressure both were enduring was considerable.

Ran Qi's spear pointed directly, controlling the lightning, veins bulging on his face.

Xiao Yi's hands formed seals, supporting the Skyfire Seal, sweat streaming down his forehead.

"Press it," Ran Qi gritted his teeth and shouted.

The descending lightning gained a few more degrees of power.

"Break," Xiao Yi's voice was cold, but there was a grim determination in it.

The torrents of lightning were already vast in number, heavy as waves.

Add to that the astonishing power, pressing down from the sky.

The pressure Xiao Yi endured was enough to numb his hands.

Time passed gradually.

The confrontation between lightning and fire showed no breakthrough.

Ran Qi's face became increasingly twisted.

Xiao Yi's forehead was soaked with sweat, his cold eyes gradually filled with blood vessels.

"There's no point in continuing like this," Ran Qi was the first to open his mouth.

Swish…

Ran Qi first retracted his spear, abandoning control over the torrents of lightning.

The uncontrolled lightning fell weakly.

Xiao Yi's flame seal instantly broke through it.

Boom… the torrents of lightning completely fell, turning the ground into scorched earth.

Swish… the flame seal soared into the sky, turning the entire high sky into a fire sea.

"Yi Xiao," Ran Qi stared coldly at Xiao Yi.

"You should know, I've still not used my Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear."

"I've been waiting for you."

"I'll say it one last time, unleash your Martial Soul and let's settle this."

"Otherwise…"

Ran Qi paused, his tone filled with hostility and impatience.

"My interest and patience are very limited."

Xiao Yi's cold eyes stared directly at Ran Qi, "At least, you're not yet qualified to make me unleash my Martial Soul."

"Good, very good," Ran Qi nodded coldly.

His icy face, the anger barely containable.

"Either you unleash your Martial Soul and fight me, or die."

As his words fell, the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear in Ran Qi's hand exuded a fierce aura.

"Hmm," Xiao Yi frowned.

At this moment, he felt a surge of danger threatening him to the core.

Ran Qi shouted fiercely, "Spear Devour!"

A sharp aura erupted, and Xiao Yi was directly blown away by this pressure.

His body crashed straight into the walls of Fangcun City.

On the walls of Fangcun City, the enclosing barrier even cracked slightly.

Boom…

A blast echoed, and Xiao Yi was sent flying again, spitting blood under the pressure.

The wall behind him, the barrier enclosing the city walls, was nearly shattered.

"Impossible," Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

Before he could calm the surging blood within, the towering pressure bore down on him again.
