Soul Emperor Martial God

Bang… Bang… Bang…

Ran Qi was like a sandbag, incapable of fighting back under the continuous bombardment of a flaming figure.

Bang…

Another explosive sound, and Ran Qi was smashed heavily to the ground, creating a huge pit.

"Bastard." Ran Qi climbed out of the pit in embarrassment, his face showing extreme distress.

"Spear Devour."

Ran Qi shouted fiercely, and the overwhelming oppressive force within the Thunder Spear Domain surged again.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

In his eyes, countless invisible long spears appeared, stabbing directly at him.

If he still had his previous strength, he would have surely perished under these invisible long spears.

But now…

Whoosh… Xiao Yi waved his big hand, and the first incoming spear was instantly crushed into nothingness in his hand.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…

His figure once again transformed into a flaming silhouette.

With his palms slightly cupped, they resembled a flaming devouring tiger's mouth.

With a swing of both palms, each spear was crushed into nothingness.

In just a moment, thousands of invisible long spears all crumbled.

Ran Qi was stunned in place, followed by a frantic expression, "No… Impossible… How can it be?"

"I have painstakingly cultivated for three years, only to comprehend this Spear Devour, a technique above Thunder Roar."

"How can I be defeated so easily…"

"Spear Devour, emerge."

Ran Qi shouted loudly, and countless spears appeared out of thin air again.

However, his face became even paler, and blood oozed from his mouth.

Clearly, performing this Spear Devour was no small pressure for him.

Forcing an increase in power and continuing to perform it also made him suffer a considerable backlash.

Xiao Yi shook his head, and with a few flashes of his figure, he instantly broke through all the spears.

His figure flashed again, once more appearing in front of Ran Qi, and punched out.

Ran Qi was directly blown away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it." Ran Qi shouted angrily, unable to react in time.

Xiao Yi suddenly appeared behind him.

With a flick of his leg, he knocked him flying in an instant.

"Don't get cocky." In midair, Ran Qi forcibly stabilized his figure.

Just as he was about to counterattack, Xiao Yi had already arrived in front of him.

His speed was completely incomparable to Xiao Yi's.

Bang… Another punch, and Ran Qi was blasted from the sky heavily.

Bang… A loud explosion, creating a large pit on the ground.

"The last punch." In midair, Xiao Yi said coldly.

"If you can't withstand it, the battle can end here."

Bang… A surging Purple Flame gathered in Xiao Yi's hand.

The devouring tiger's mouth of flame gathered in his hand, with even more power than before.

Whoosh… Xiao Yi descended from the sky.

Before arriving, the tremendous momentum from his flaming punch had already crushed the entire ground, sinking it.

Ran Qi struggled to get up under the weight of this momentum, but was unable to move, feeling more uncomfortable under the pressure.

In the distance, on the city wall of Fangcun City, the manager's face changed, "City Lord."

Fangcun City Lord watched the battle, frowning deeply.

Bang… A resounding explosion.

Xiao Yi's fist had already fallen.

With Ran Qi as the center, the ground for dozens of miles cracked instantly.

The cracked ground, in less than a second, turned into powder, raising clouds of dust.

On the city wall, the faces of the Heavenly Talents changed greatly, "So strong, just how powerful is that Yi Xiao?"

"Ran Qi is defeated?"

"The second-ranked Supreme Genius of the Eighteen Mansions, defeated? And so thoroughly?"

"No, defeat is acceptable, but did he die?"

After a while, the dust in the sky fell.

Everyone's eyes clearly saw the distant battlefield.

There, a figure stood proudly, with a surging flame on his fist.

It was Xiao Yi.

On the ground, a figure lay powerlessly, it was Ran Qi.

However, Ran Qi was not dead, only breathing heavily.

Xiao Yi's fist stopped just an inch before him.

"You are defeated." Xiao Yi looked at him indifferently.

"Why?" Ran Qi gasped, frowning at Xiao Yi.

"Your punch was enough to take my life, why didn't you strike?"

"Disperse." Xiao Yi said quietly, the flames in his hand dissipating instantly.

"You are defeated, but not completely."

"Hmm?" Ran Qi stared at Xiao Yi, frowning deeply.

Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, "You still have a mid-grade holy artifact unused, don't you?"

"So what if I do?" Ran Qi nodded.

"No reason." Xiao Yi retracted his fist, turned around, and walked away slowly.

"What do you mean?" Behind him, Ran Qi lay on the ground powerlessly, shouting angrily.

Xiao Yi's footsteps paused slightly, "You didn't want to use a low-grade holy artifact before, and now you don't want to use the mid-grade holy artifact."

"Are you seeking a fair fight with me?"

"I don't have a mid-grade holy artifact now, but in the future, if there's a chance for a truly fair fight, a satisfying battle, I will kill you."

Having said that, Xiao Yi left, controlling the air to fly away.

The Heavenly Talents watched Xiao Yi leave, none daring to stop him.

Behind them, Ran Qi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Yi Xiao, I will remember you."

"I will remember this battle; in the next battle, I hope you will also remember it."

The proud shout echoed through the sky.

In the distance, the flaming figure speeding away did not respond and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

...

Thousands of miles away, Xiao Yi's rapidly flying figure suddenly paused.

His body fell powerlessly from high above.

Pa… Pa… Pa…

Below was a dense Demon Beast Forest, filled with towering trees.

Xiao Yi's figure passed through layers of leaves and finally crashed heavily to the ground.

"Pfft." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood.

This mere fall to the ground naturally wouldn't cause him any injury.

The real injury came from the earlier battle.

Not from Ran Qi's attack.

But because the true intent of martial arts melded into the domain, causing a significant backlash.

Previously, when the true intent of martial arts was integrated into the domain Martial Skill Skyfire Seal, he experienced severe backlash.

Unexpectedly, this time embedding it into the domain received backlash again.

However, he now understood where the backlash came from.

It came from the martial arts true intent being of a much higher level, far exceeding the current domain level he possessed.

More simply put, the domain he currently exerted couldn't withstand the martial arts true intent.

This nearly caused his entire domain to collapse during the fight.

The domain, constructed from the complete martial arts within himself, if collapsed, would be essentially a foundational damage.

Fortunately, he managed to withstand it in the end.

"Phew." Xiao Yi exhaled lightly, preparing to find a hidden place to heal.

But just then, two figures appeared out of thin air.

"Young friend Yi Xiao, it seems you weren't unscathed after defeating Ran Qi."

The speaker was Fangcun City Lord.

"Fangcun City Lord?" Xiao Yi's expression changed.

"Tsk tsk." The manager beside him sneered, "With such a serious injury, why not return with us to Fangcun City for treatment?"

"No need." Xiao Yi shook his head, his eyes showing a hint of apprehension.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I must take my leave."

"Hmph." The manager snorted coldly, "It's not up to you."

Fangcun City Lord smiled playfully, "Young friend Yi Xiao, you really chose the right place."

"Here in the dense Demon Beast Forest, it's perfect for murder and robbery, don't you think?"

Xiao Yi squinted, "What do you mean?"

...

The third update.
