Soul Emperor Martial God

"Damn it."

The expression beneath Xiao Yi's mask was extremely grim.

Earlier, he had been focused on fleeing far away with Huoo Linlang and hadn't noticed this detail.

However, with Liuo Kai's methods, it was indeed difficult to detect.

Moreover, there was no doubt that Liuo Kai was adept at scheming and was equally cautious.

His desire to kill Huoo Linlang was so strong that it was no surprise he would leave such a measure.

"No wonder you found us." Xiao Yi coldly stared at the group of Demon Hunters.

This group of Demon Hunters must have only stumbled upon them by chance.

Even if Liuo Kai had left a prohibition and aura on Huoo Linlang, it wouldn't be easy to sense and track them.

The Illusion Array of the Ice Venerable was not something to be taken lightly.

Within the Illusion Array, the dense fog severely limited the perception of any Martial Artist.

Liuo Kai definitely didn't have the ability to ignore these limitations and sense them from afar.

Swish... Suddenly, the burly middle-aged man waved his large hand.

A signal stream of light swiftly soared into the sky.

"Scatter." Xiao Yi, having anticipated their move, reacted swiftly and unleashed a fiery blade.

Before the signal stream could explode, it was already incinerated completely.

Xiao Yi coldly eyed the shattered jade pendant in the burly middle-aged man's hand.

That jade pendant was connected to the aura of the prohibition.

Within a certain range, the jade pendant could sense the aura of the prohibition.

Of course, this range was not very large.

Xiao Yi, having some expertise in Formation techniques, was naturally aware of these methods.

In other words, as long as this Demon Hunting Team couldn't send out the signal, Liuo Kai couldn't arrive.

And dealing with this Demon Hunting Team was an easy task for Xiao Yi.

"Go, kill this boy and this girl." The burly middle-aged man roared fiercely.

"Stay close to me." Xiao Yi glanced at Huoo Linlang and said.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to make a move,

Huoo Linlang sidestepped around Xiao Yi, "You're still injured, leave it to me."

"Hm?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Huoo Linlang confidently smiled, "Liuo Kai is one thing, but these ordinary Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivators and a mere Peak of Heavenly Extreme Realm, I don't take them seriously."

Swish... Huoo Linlang moved instantly, making her move in a flash.

"Rude girl, coming right to us, saving us a lot of effort." The burly middle-aged man sneered.

"Impudent." Huoo Linlang's face turned cold.

This burly middle-aged man repeatedly insulted her with derogatory terms.

Huoo Linlang was inherently headstrong and instantly burst into rage.

The battle erupted immediately, yet Huoo Linlang did not falter; she easily held her ground against the crowd.

Xiao Yi nodded approvingly, a faint smile on his lips.

He had forgotten that Huoo Linlang was a Heavenly Extreme Eighth Layer Martial Artist.

Moreover, her origins were undoubtedly extraordinary, at least a Heavenly Talent from a powerful faction.

Such Heavenly Talents had combat power far surpassing ordinary Heavenly Extreme Eighth Layers.

Powerful cultivation techniques and martial techniques allowed them to fight across levels with ease.

"Hah." Huoo Linlang let out a shout, striking with a palm.

The astonishing palm wind carried immense power.

With a single strike, apart from the burly middle-aged man, everyone else spat blood and flew back.

"Holy-grade Hand Technique? Rude girl, you're courting death." The burly middle-aged man suddenly wielded a large blade.

The blade carried overwhelming sword formation as it slashed towards Huoo Linlang.

Huoo Linlang was unafraid, her hand technique changing.

What was once a fierce strike now became gentle and agile.

Her hands maneuvered effortlessly, deflecting the power of the large blade.

Her hand slipped past the burly middle-aged man's hands and blade.

The slender palm lightly pressed against the burly middle-aged man's chest.

Boom... a resounding explosion echoed.

Huoo Linlang's seemingly gentle palm struck the burly middle-aged man like a Thunderous Strike.

"What impressive hand technique," Xiao Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

The burly middle-aged man spat a mouthful of blood, his face turning grim.

"What are you waiting for? She's just a yellow-haired girl; I refuse to believe she's our match."

The burly middle-aged man roared.

Ten previously knocked-back Demon Hunters instantly surrounded Huoo Linlang again.

"Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens." Huoo Linlang remained unafraid, letting out a loud shout.

Boom... an invisible force enveloped the entire area.

Clearly, it was a domain.

Swish... swish... swish...

Huoo Linlang's figure suddenly vanished, transforming into an illusion.

In her tender form, there was no lack of power and ferocity.

The illusion flickered, an ethereal dance, yet soaring like a king.

The phantom figures, lasting only a few seconds, rose into the air, tracing a beautiful arc before merging together.

The dance ceased, the palm descended.

Bang... bang... bang...

Including the burly middle-aged man, all the Demon Hunters spat blood and were sent flying.

This time, apart from the burly middle-aged man, everyone else paled and had no more strength to fight.

Disregarding the previous strike, she nearly eliminated these ten Heavenly Extreme Realm Experts in seconds.

"Rude girl, don't get cocky." The burly middle-aged man steadied himself, and his aura suddenly erupted.

"Secret Technique." Watching from a distance, Xiao Yi muttered.

The burly middle-aged man's current strength had undoubtedly reached half-step Limitless.

However, it was obvious that the burly middle-aged man's vitality was rapidly draining.

Clearly, this was the price of the Secret Technique.

The battle reignited once more.

However, this time, the smug look on Huoo Linlang's face didn't last long.

Because almost from the first exchange, she was at a disadvantage.

From a distance, Xiao Yi shook his head, "Such poor combat level."

In Xiao Yi's eyes, Huoo Linlang's combat level and experience were nearly zero, pathetically weak.

Against those with lower cultivation, she could crush them with her techniques and martial arts.

But facing someone with higher cultivation, she couldn't even defend herself.

Her martial techniques, though strong, failed to exert their intended power.

"Rude girl, die." The burly middle-aged man's blade struck down heavily.

"Ah." Huoo Linlang cried out in surprise, instinctively covering her head and crouching.

"Idiot." Xiao Yi cursed lowly, moving instantly.

The hand wrapped in flames effortlessly caught the blade.

Huoo Linlang, realizing, looked at Xiao Yi with lingering fear.

Xiao Yi glanced at her, disdain in his voice, "In a life-and-death battle, you think covering your head will save you?"

"This blade could have split you in two."

Without paying her further mind, Xiao Yi turned his attention to the burly middle-aged man.

A mere half-step Limitless was no longer a concern for Xiao Yi.

"Purple Flame Domain, rise." Xiao Yi murmured.

The flames in his hand burst forth fiercely.

With a mighty clench, the burly middle-aged man's large blade shattered instantly.

Boom... In the next moment, the sky filled with Purple Flame, engulfing the burly middle-aged man.

"Ah..." The burly middle-aged man screamed in agony.

"Break free." The burly middle-aged man roared in anger, his Primordial Power erupting, forcibly dispelling the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.

As the flames faded, the burly middle-aged man's face was full of dismay, and he was seriously injured.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, truly a formidable Purple Flame Yi Xiao."

"I knew long ago I wasn't your match when you escaped from the Captain's hands."

"However, today you are still doomed to die."

As he finished speaking, the burly middle-aged man's momentum suddenly surged—not an eruption, but an outward leak.

"You..." Xiao Yi's pupils shrank, already anticipating the burly middle-aged man's intentions.

Indeed.

Boom... A thunderous explosion erupted as the burly middle-aged man self-destructed in an instant.

The self-detonation of a Peak of the Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Artist, what level of power would it reach?

...

Second update.
