Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 59: Chapter 58: The Curtain Falls

Xiao Yi waved his sword gently, and the seemingly impregnable Spiritual Energy Cage instantly collapsed.

Even Murong Mo’s all-out palm strike dissipated in an instant.

Xiao Yi advanced with his sword, thrusting straight at Murong Mo.

Murong Mo, startled, was about to dodge when he discovered that he was immobilized by a terrifying force, leaving him unable to move in the slightest.

”What’s happening? I am a Mysterious Profundity Realm Warrior; only I should have the power to restrict others, how can I be restrained?” Murong Mo was greatly alarmed.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, and he was already in front of him.

”Hmph.” Murong Mo thought confidently, ”A mere Postnatal Realm Martial Artist, even if I stand still, you couldn’t possibly harm me...”

The thought had barely formed when Xiao Yi’s sword had already pierced his chest.

Feeling the pain in his chest, Murong Mo’s eyes widened in disbelief, ”How... how could it pierce through the formidable body of the Mysterious Profundity Realm...”

”This... is this the Purple Martial Soul...”

”You.. you already have the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul... I see now, you are the one-in-a-million Twin Martial Souls, no wonder you cultivated so fast...”

Murong Mo’s cold eyes were fixed on Xiao Yi.

His face still wore an expression of shock, preparing to resist and at all costs kill Xiao Yi when...

A terrifying force erupted from the tip of the Ice Phoenix Sword that had pierced his chest.

This force was extremely cold, like the icy abyss beneath the Nine Netherworld, where any matter would be frozen and plummet, never being able to escape;

And like the piercing Gang Wind above the Nine Heavens, all things would be shattered into ice crystals.

His meridians, internal organs, and flesh were rapidly freezing, and the scent of death enveloped his entire body.

”No, it’s impossible, you can’t kill me,” Murong Mo gritted his teeth and shouted, readying to muster all his True Qi to resist.

Just then, an ice-blue figure suddenly appeared within him.

The figure was dream-like and illusory, resembling an Ice Blue Phoenix.

”How... how could this be... what is this thing... Purple Martial Soul... the soul of the soul... this...”

Murong Mo couldn’t finish his words.

Because...

”Chi...” The Ice Blue Phoenix cried out, its voice exceptionally cold.

His flesh, meridians, and internal organs were completely frozen in an instant and then suddenly turned to dust.

He was dead.

From the outside, his body appeared normal, but inside, only a pile of ice crystals remained.

Murong Mo was dead.

”Puh.” Xiao Yi suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and hurriedly dissipated the Ice Phoenix Sword.

He felt a chill throughout his body, and upon introspection, saw his inner condition was not any better...

Eight main meridians, riddled with countless holes, covered with layers of ice scabs.

In various places within his body, a layer of Cold Frost was present.

The Black Ink Mantra’s dark energy inexplicably triggered the mysterious power of the Ice Phoenix Sword, a force so strong, far beyond his ability to control.

Although he had killed Murong Mo, his own body was harmed by the extreme cold carried by the power during its use; if Murong Mo had died even a few seconds later, or if he had dissipated the Ice Phoenix Sword just a few seconds later, he likely would have been turned into a solid ice cone himself.

”Ice Phoenix Sword, Ice Phoenix Sword, the Supreme Treasure of legend from Huaxia, just how formidable are you...”

Xiao Yi muttered to himself, then the next second, he fainted to the ground, his life and death uncertain.

His blood was frozen, and along with it, his vital energy as well. Xiao Yi didn’t know if he would survive, but he no longer had time to think about it.

To kill Murong Mo so that the Great Elder, the Second Elder, the Third Elder, and Yiyi might have a sliver of chance, paying any price would be worth it.

...

Just ten seconds before the emergence of the Ice Blue Phoenix Shadow from the Ice Phoenix Sword, tens of thousands of miles away, two figures leisurely flying in the sky suddenly stagnated.

One of the figures gazed into the distance.

”What a terrifying presence. When did such a formidable demon beast appear in the Flame Dragon Continent?”

Shock and solemnity filled the figure’s face.

Beside him, a person showed confusion and said, ”Saint Lord, what presence? I don’t feel anything.”

”Your cultivation is still shallow; naturally, you cannot feel it.”

After saying this, the figure grabbed the person beside him and flew swiftly.

The distance of tens of thousands of miles was covered in just a few breaths.

...

Meanwhile, the Great Elder and the Second Elder, among others, were locked in fierce combat with Murong Shan and the other Murong Family Elders.

The Great Elder’s cultivation was higher than that of Murong Shan and others.

Unfortunately, they had all been severely injured by a palm strike from Murong Mo earlier.

At this moment, they were no match for Murong Shan and his allies; they were just barely holding on.

”Bang, bang, bang...”

The weaker Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Elders were simultaneously struck, coughed up blood, and when they hit the ground, they were knocked unconscious and left without the strength to fight.

”Hmph, die.” The Murong Family Elders laughed viciously, ready to end the lives of the three.

”Elders,” the Great Elder exclaimed in alarm, ready to lend a hand.

”Xiao Lihuo, daring to be distracted while battling the two of us, are you courting death?” Two unfamiliar middle-aged men, both at the Innate Ninth Layer, joined forces against the Great Elder.

The Great Elder reacted, striking a palm against the two men.

”Pfft.” The Great Elder violently coughed up a mouthful of blood. Though still capable of fighting, he was at the end of his tether.

”Hahahaha, members of the Xiao Family, today you are fated to be annihilated,” Murong Shan laughed uproariously.

”From this day forth, there will be no Xiao Family in Purple Cloud City.”

The Murong Family Elders also laughed loudly.

”Damn it, I’ll fight you to the end!” Third Elder Xiao Chong and Second Elder were engulfed in rage and grief, resolved to fight to their deaths.

But they had already sustained heavy injuries, and both their anger was to no avail.

Murong Shan injured Second Elder with a palm strike, then launched another palm towards Third Elder.

With his Innate Ninth Layer cultivation, a full-strength palm would undoubtedly kill Third Elder.

”Third Elder, be careful!” Yiyi suddenly leaped out from the side.

She had no fighting ability, and the people of the Murong Family had ignored her from the start.

”Pfft.” Yiyi was struck by Murong Shan’s palm, spewing blood as she was sent flying and crashed to the ground, her body already drenched in blood.

Third Elder rushed to pick up Yiyi and anxiously said, ”Girl, what foolishness is this, you have no cultivation, how could you withstand a palm from Murong Shan, ah.”

Yiyi spat out blood in large gulps, weakly murmuring, ”If Third Elder dies, Young Master Xiao Yi will be heartbroken... so heartbroken...”

”You...” Third Elder couldn’t help but shed a tear, ”Good, very good, truly a member of the Xiao Family, the girl that Yii’er likes.”

Having said that, Third Elder looked sorrowfully yet coldly at Murong Shan and the others, ”You bastards from the Murong Family, since you want to exterminate my Xiao Family, then let’s die together.”

No sooner had he spoken than Third Elder’s aura surged, but his breath was in chaotic disorder, as if going berserker.

”Not good,” Murong Shan who was previously smug, suddenly changed complexion, ”This guy wants to go mad and self-detonate, retreat.”

”Thinking of retreating? Not so easy,” the Great Elder also had a face of sorrow, his aura dramatically increased, but it too was chaotic.

”You bastards of the Murong Family, we men of the Xiao Family all have the spirit of warriors, we will not allow you to humiliate us, if we must die, we’ll all die together.”

Murong Shan and the other Murong Family Elders were suddenly alarmed.

”Dammit, Xiao Lihuo is half a step into the Mysterious Profundity, once he self-detonates, we will not be able to withstand it, run fast.”

The people of the Murong Family never imagined that the men of the Xiao Family would go mad because of the death of a Yiyi and were all trying to retreat.

”Let’s die together,” the Xiao Family Elders laughed loudly.

The next second, the aura within a hundred meters was extremely chaotic.

If the Xiao Family Elders all self-detonated together, the result would surely be mutual destruction. The Xiao Family would perish, and the Murong Family people would be dead or crippled.

Lying next to Third Elder, Yiyi continued to vomit blood and murmured, ”The Xiao Family is going to be no more, Yiyi is also dying, young master must survive...”

But at that moment, suddenly a ray of moonlight appeared in the sky.

Under the moonlight, everything halted.

The Xiao Family Elders about to self-detonate, the Murong Family’s small folk trying to flee in terror, all frozen in an instant.

The surrounding air, the chaotic aura, and even the floating clouds in the sky, all halted.

Two figures appeared out of nowhere and came next to Yiyi.

The two figures were shrouded in light, their faces unseen to anyone.

Only Yiyi, though on the brink of death, her bright eyes clearly saw the two people’s faces.

One was a young woman, in her early thirties, elegant and graceful, but with an imposing manner that made it hard for others to look directly at her.

The other was a girl not much older than her, with a mischievous smile, looking at her with a smile-filled gaze.

The young woman gently placed her hand on Yiyi, and after a long moment, her face revealed great joy.

”Indeed... indeed... I didn’t expect to come here and find such a gain,” the young woman excitedly said, and then with a wave of her hand, a white light entered Yiyi’s body.

Yiyi felt her grievously injured body become somewhat more comfortable and said dumbfoundedly, ”Thank you, sister.”

The young woman covered her mouth with a laugh, softly saying, ”Little girl, you shouldn’t call me sister. But say, would you like to go with this Saint Lord?”

Yiyi quickly shook her head.

The young woman frowned slightly but still spoke softly, ”What if I could save your family’s elders?”

After a moment of thought, and glancing in the direction where Xiao Yi had left, Yiyi furrowed her brows tightly, seemingly making a tormented decision.

After a long while, Yiyi nodded.

The young woman’s eyes lit up with joy, and with a gentle wave of her hand, the aura of the Xiao Family’s people, previously ready for self-detonation, stabilized instantly.

Then, she glanced at Murong Shan and the others, frozen in place, a flash of brilliance in her eyes.

”Crack, crack, crack...”

The void air, at that moment, seemed to crack like a mirror, revealing several fractures.

At the site of the fissures stood Murong Shan and the others.

Murong Shan and the Murong Family Elders suddenly widened their eyes, then collapsed silently to the ground, lifeless.

”Shattering space?” The Great Elder, still immobilized, stared in shock, his heart filled with terror, this was something that not even warriors of the Mysterious Profundity Realm, Mystic Breakthrough Realm, or even the immensely powerful Earth Origin and Heavenly Origin Martial Artists could do.

Most likely, only those legendary beings capable of roaming the Void as Martial Arts Great Powers could achieve such a feat.

Swoosh, a white light flashed, and the two figures, along with Yiyi, vanished into thin air. The moonlight in the sky also disappeared in an instant.

Everything returned to normal, the wind blowing once more, the air flowing again, and the Xiao Family’s people stood there, stupefied.
