Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Urgent Beast Tide

Ten advanced martial techniques.

Ten super geniuses unleashed their full power.

Ten overpowering attacks converged on Xiao Yi simultaneously.

In Xiao Yi’s hand, the Unrivaled Sword quivered as a five hundred feet True Qi Vortex suddenly appeared above his head.

”Sea Covering Slash,” Xiao Yi’s sword transformed in an instant.

The sword body seemed to become the boundless source of a vast sea.

The sword body vibrated, spreading waves of sword sounds.

Like surging tides, or a tsunami sweeping across.

Those invisible waves of Sword Sound resembled towering, surging waves.

Wherever they passed, not a blade of grass remained alive, everything was swallowed up.

Ye Ming’s Wood Dragon Descent instantly turned into a pile of wood chips.

Yui Rulong’s Ten Thousand Beasts Roar instantly dissipated.

Miao Qianhuo’s Thousand Flames instantly extinguished.

...

Everything, before these Sword Sound Waves, appeared so powerless, unable to withstand even a second.

The originally overwhelming ten attacks that dominated the field.

Were instantly dissipated in a moment, as if they were forcibly swallowed.

Such a scene was beyond words.

All knew that thousands of people were staring wide-eyed, faces unable to recover for a long time.

The nine chief disciples, including Ye Ming, were all knocked back, spitting blood.

Their previously confident expressions had already turned to shock.

In their eyes, it was as if they were reflecting towering waves rushing towards them.

”Pu... Pu... Pu...”

The nine were sent flying off the Martial Arts Arena, gasping and gulping down mouthfuls of blood.

The look of shock on their faces lingered on.

It stemmed from an innate fear and panic.

It was like being a person in the boundless sea, floating with the waves, never able to reach shore, yet fearing the next moment when a giant wave might swallow them, burying them in the sea forever.

This feeling could drive one to despair.

Sea Covering Slash was an area-of-effect sound wave attack.

The damage inflicted was not merely physical—it was far from simple.

An Earth-rank Peak Martial Technique, second only to Heaven Rank, was not to be taken lightly.

Of course, Xiao Yi had held back, not using his full strength.

These nine would recover before long.

At this time, Xiao Yi did not stop his assault.

Because there was still one person who had not left the Martial Arts Arena, and that was Guu Changkong.

Ye Ming and the other eight had attacked first, and were closest to Xiao Yi.

Sea Covering Slash expelled these nine from the arena first.

Only Guu Changkong, who had attacked later and was farther back,

had used his Netherworld Sky Sword and already reached the power of the Mystic Breakthrough Realm with his Seven Evil Slash.

After Sea Covering Slash easily broke the Seven Evil Slash, he had time to react and immediately soared into the sky via Sky-controlling Flight.

He wasn’t foolish, realizing that the sound wave attack of Sea Covering Slash had a limited range and was area-specific.

By flying high into the sky, he could immediately escape that range.

At the same time, this act did not constitute leaving the Martial Arts Arena, and therefore he was not considered defeated.

Xiao Yi pursued into the sky, chasing after him.

Guu Changkong, a despicable character with a vicious mind, had tried repeatedly to ensure Xiao Yi’s death. If not removed today, he would become an endless trouble in the future.

Although ten minutes had passed, as long as neither conceded, the competition could still continue.

On the other side, the Elders looked up at the huge vortex in the sky from their Elder’s Seat, startled.

Shiyi, what’s going on, how could Xiao Yi mobilize so much True Qi at once?” the Great Elder asked urgently.

Elder Yi smiled as if he already knew, ”His Qi Spring is five hundred feet deep.”

”With his current Seventh Layer of Mysterious Profundity Cultivation, he probably used some forbidden move to forcibly raise his Cultivation to the Mysterious Profundity Ninth Layer, just enough to fill the Qi Spring.”

”A Qi Spring five hundred feet deep?” the Elders gasped in shock.

”Doesn’t that mean Xiao Yi is even more formidable than those supreme talents of legend?”

”No, wait,” the Great Elder suddenly asked, ”even with a Qi Spring five hundred feet deep, he shouldn’t be able to release all his True Qi at once...”

”Idiot,” Elder Yi laughed and scolded him, ”since Xiao Yi has a Qi Spring five hundred feet deep, wouldn’t he also possess a Taoist Body?”

”I guess his Taoist Body must be even more powerful than an Innate Taoist Body.”

”Powerful enough to let him release all the True Qi within his body.”

”I see,” the Great Elder nodded, ”Originally, I was regretting that Xiao Yi, even as the future Sword Master, would seem undeserving because of his Fire Control Beast Martial Soul.”

”Now it seems,” the Great Elder laughed, ”with a Qi Spring five hundred feet deep and a strong Taoist Body, tsk tsk, I have a feeling that the strongest Sword Master in the history of our Sky-splitting Sword Sect is about to be born.”

”The strongest Sword Master,” the other Elders’ eyes gleamed as well, and their gazes towards Xiao Yi in the high sky completely changed.

No longer were they watching an ordinary disciple, but a truly important figure worthy of their utmost regard.

...

On the other side, after Xiao Yi caught up in the high sky, he intended to kill Guu Changkong outright.

Unexpectedly, Guu Changkong managed to use the enormous power from within his Netherworld Sky Sword to maximize his flight speed.

This prevented Xiao Yi from catching up instantly.

If Xiao Yi could now use his Purple Flame Fire Wings, Guu Changkong would have already met his demise.

”Hahaha...” Guu Changkong laughed wildly, ”Xiao Yi, without a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, I’d like to see how you’ll fight me.”

”Of course, you can also admit defeat right now.”

”Anyway, 10 minutes have passed.”

”Your admission of defeat won’t have much impact, just an acknowledgment that you’re inferior to me.”

He was using reverse psychology; he actually didn’t want to end the battle so quickly.

He still wanted to kill Xiao Yi.

Only, this was exactly what Xiao Yi intended.

”Hmph.” Xiao Yi snorted coldly, knowing what Guu Changkong was thinking.

But he didn’t expose it just yet.

Meanwhile, the elders below continued to watch the battle and hadn’t intervened to stop it.

They were confident in their strength to handle any sudden occurrences, at least preventing loss of life.

Xiao Yi was aware of this too, so he continued to wait.

Xiao Yi never took any action without assurance.

When it came to killing, especially a certain kill, one couldn’t rush.

One should not kill at all or must ensure the kill with one strike when the move was made.

High above, Xiao Yi continued to pursue Guu Changkong.

Guu Changkong, still arrogantly rising, was increasing the distance between them.

He believed that Xiao Yi couldn’t catch up to him, unaware that Xiao Yi was actually controlling the distance.

And that distance was getting shorter and shorter.

A dozen seconds later, when Guu Changkong had ascended to a certain height,

Xiao Yi finally let out a cold laugh. The Qi Spring within his body, stretching three thousand three hundred and thirty-three zhang, filled up to seventy percent, unleashing over two thousand zhang of terrifying True Qi in an instant, mobilized within his Small World.

His speed suddenly increased so dramatically that everyone was caught off guard.

”Sea Covering Slash,” Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

”What? Such speed,” Guu Changkong’s pupils contracted as he was taken by surprise.

Sword Sound Waves surged towards him with horrifying speed.

His eyes reflected the image of a gigantic wave.

Down below, on the Elder’s Seat, the assembly of elders turned pale.

They clearly felt Xiao Yi’s intent to kill and knew what he wanted to do.

”Xiao Yi, don’t be rash,” the Great Elder shouted.

”Kid, you dare?” an elder from the Sword Hall was furious.

Elder Yi, however, frowned.

But they made no move.

Because the height to which Guu Changkong and Xiao Yi had risen was already too significant.

They wouldn’t make it in time even if they intervened now.

High in the sky, Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, ”Guu Changkong, this time no one can save you.”

”No... don’t...”

Guu Changkong was in a panic, even forgetting to raise his sword to defend.

His plea didn’t seem to be directed at Xiao Yi, but rather at the ’tidal wave’ in his eyes.

A sense of despair flooded over him, leaving him powerless.

”Die,” Xiao Yi’s voice was utterly cold.

But...

The next second, just as the Sword Sound Waves were about to hit Guu Changkong,

A figure in the not-too-distant space flew towards them at high speed.

The flight was incredibly fast, beyond the capabilities of a Mysterious Profundity Realm Warrior.

The person was a Mystic Breakthrough Realm Martial Artist.

With a ’boom,’ the figure, like a blind mad horse,

Crashed directly into the Sword Sound Waves, shattering the Sea Covering Slash completely.

”What formidable strength, at least a Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layer martial artist,” Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Of course, the Sword Sound Waves were shattered.

The newcomer didn’t seem to fare well either.

He forcefully stopped the rapid flight and coughed up a trace of blood, staring in shock at Xiao Yi before him.

”Damn, since when did the Sky-splitting Sword Sect produce such a monster? So young and yet so powerful,” the newcomer exclaimed in shock.

At that moment, Xiao Yi also got a clear view of the person and was surprised.

The newcomer was none other than the Blood Blade Guard Commander Nie Rushan, whom Xiao Yi had met briefly several months before—a Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layer warrior.

”Nie Rushan?” The elders below also recognized Nie Rushan.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, eleven figures instantly reached the sky.

An elder from the Sword Hall checked on Guu Changkong to see if he was injured.

Elder Yi positioned himself in front of Xiao Yi.

”Nie Rushan, what brings you to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect?” the Great Elder asked.

”Oh, I almost forgot the urgent matter,” Nie Rushan said, patting his head.

”Greetings, elders,” Nie Rushan gave a bow then his expression changed drastically, ”Elders, a Beast Tide has struck the Eighteen Cities of Eastern Desolate.”

The Great Elder waved his hand dismissively, ”There’s always a Beast Tide in Eastern Desolate every few years, what has that got to do with our sect?”

”It’s different this time, the situation is extremely urgent,” Nie Rushan insisted, ”This Beast Tide has, for some reason, many Mystic Breakthrough Realm demon beasts.”

”Oh? How many?” the Great Elder inquired.

”A myriad,” Nie Rushan uttered two words with a terrified expression.
