Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2056: Chapter 2056: Young Master Baili?

Xiao Yi had already left the Soul Domain.

His path of tempering himself was starting once again.

Thinking about it, over these past few years, the places and territories he’d broken through were already quite a lot.

But compared to the vast Central Region, that still didn’t count for much.

The Central Region, thirteen thousand territories—this was a massive number.

Especially those disconnected stretches between territories, barren for tens of millions of miles at a time.

And there were some unknowable, mysterious lands.

In short, if you counted every place in the whole Central Region, it was an enormous, frightening concept.

Of course, if you only talked about territories—only the ones he’d flown over or passed through—it really wasn’t a small number.

At the very least, he’d basically broken through the entire Eastern Range.

He’d also broken through some territories in the western range.

These past few months, the territories he’d broken through in the central range were also quite numerous.

...

Half a day later.

Xiao Yi had already gone far from the Soul Domain, crossing the distance of over a hundred territories.

His figure paused slightly.

If he remembered correctly, among the surrounding major territories, this particular territory counted as fairly well-known, and fairly strong as well.

Of course, there were no Evil Cultivators in this territory.

He’d already cleared this territory long ago.

But his tempering wasn’t only about wiping out Evil Cultivators—powerful dangerous lands filled with demon beasts were also one of his targets.

He had been here before, but he wasn’t very clear on this territory’s name.

Given his past crazy clearing speed, even if he stayed in a territory, he would never stay long; once the Evil Cultivators were cleared he’d immediately rush to the next territory.

Besides, with countless territory names, he couldn’t be bothered to remember them; he only had a rough grasp of this territory’s range and its level of strength.

The territory he was passing through now might not be a famous one, but the Martial Artist power inside it was fairly decent.

And if the Martial Artist power inside wasn’t weak, that also meant this territory contained dangerous lands of no low level.

It was a simple logic: if the Martial Artist power within a territory wasn’t strong enough, once the demon beasts inside those dangerous lands erupted in a Beast Tide, the Martial Artists in this territory would have long since all died out.

Unless the demon beasts died out first.

But that was obviously impossible. Ever since that war which marked the end of the Ancient Times, after tens of millions of years, demon beasts had been forced to hide within dangerous lands, yet remained one of the calamities.

Human Martial Artists, to this day, still hadn’t managed to completely clear them out one by one.

These territories might not have been strong at the beginning.

But the reason they grew strong was inevitably tied to these demon beast dangerous lands.

Of course, generally speaking, the Martial Artist power of a territory and the level of its strongest dangerous land were roughly on par; but in most cases, the demon beasts inside the dangerous land were slightly stronger.

This was also why such places were called dangerous lands.

Naturally, there were also situations where the territory’s Martial Artist power far surpassed the level of its dangerous lands.

Such as well-known territories like the Heavenly Hidden Territory and the Six Dragon Territory.

Within the Heavenly Hidden Territory, a single Heavenly Hidden Academy was enough to intimidate its own territory and the dangerous lands of all surrounding territories.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered as he decided to make a run through the dangerous lands of this territory.

A few minutes later.

Xiao Yi had already entered the depths of this dangerous land.

”Hm?” Xiao Yi had just stopped his high-speed flight.

Below, a familiar face appeared.

And the scene that followed made him frown slightly.

Down below, a massive demon beast with a dark yellow body was lying on the ground, its aura as weak as a dying thread.

With one glance, Xiao Yi could recognize this demon beast.

This was a Supreme Sand Snake, considered the strongest demon beast in this dangerous land.

In terms of strength, it was roughly around Supreme 9993 Dao.

However, the fact that it carried the title ”Supreme” meant this type of demon beast was extremely rare.

Xiao Yi had come to this dangerous land precisely for this demon beast.

Since he was passing through this territory and knew that the dangerous lands here contained such a rare demon beast, he naturally planned to come kill it.

The Supreme Sand Snake was violent by nature and bloodthirsty to the core.

Killing it would be helping the local Eight Palace Branches solve a trouble.

And its inner core, skin, flesh, and other materials likewise had very good cultivation effects for Martial Artists.

Used in forging a Supreme Elixir, they were a relatively rare Medicine.

With Xiao Yi’s strength, a trip here to kill it in passing and then leave would take at most ten minutes.

However, the Supreme Sand Snake had clearly already been killed.

Below, a Demon Hunting Team of several dozen members were all injured.

The Captain at the head was a Supreme 9992 Dao expert.

Obviously, this was a Demon Hunting Team that would be fairly famous even in the Central Region.

Xiao Yi didn’t really mind.

If he could get the Supreme Sand Snake’s inner core and skin, great; but since another Demon Hunting Team had killed it, he wasn’t about to get hung up on it.

But the ”familiar face” below suddenly burst into action.

Before this Demon Hunting Team could react.

A gust of yellow sand swept over, and the entire Demon Hunting Team died to the last man, none surviving, including that Supreme 9992 Dao Demon Hunting Captain.

Looking more closely, every Demon Hunter in the team had turned into Bai Gu—bare white bones—their deaths hideous and terrifying.

Not far away, another Martial Artist squad was just passing by.

Judging from their outfits, they were a Law Enforcement Team from a Black Demon Branch Hall.

And that ”familiar face” unhesitatingly blocked this Law Enforcement Team’s path.

The Law Enforcement Team’s expressions instantly changed, their auras bursting forth as they made ready for battle.

”What now? Is the mighty Heavenly Hidden Academy’s number one Chief planning to kill us to silence witnesses?” The Law Enforcement Captain at the head was full of apprehension as he asked coldly.

Indeed, that ”familiar face” was none other than the Heavenly Hidden Academy’s first Chief, Guu Feifan.

Guu Feifan let out a cold snort. ”Hmph, blame yourselves for seeing something you shouldn’t have.”

The mighty young Chief of Heavenly Hidden Academy was actually committing deeds like murdering for treasure and slaughtering Demon Hunters.

If word got out, the Heavenly Hidden Academy’s reputation would be ruined in an instant. Even within the Academy, as Chief, he might not have a good time.

The Law Enforcement Captain silently cursed that things had turned bad.

They were merely passing by, yet accidentally witnessed such a scene, throwing this whole group into mortal peril.

Behind Guu Feifan was another Martial Artist squad, led by a graceful, elegant young man.

”Young Master Baili, let me deal with this bunch of trash first.” Guu Feifan said, then struck out in a flash.

In the air, that strange yellow sand appeared out of nowhere once again.

”Not good.” The Law Enforcement Captain turned pale with fright.

He could already foresee that his group’s fate would be identical to that Demon Hunting Team’s corpses in the distance—that pile of scattered, faintly warm Bai Gu.

But just then, a wisp of black qi drifted through the air.

Where the black qi passed, the yellow sand instantly dispersed.

”Hm? What a terrifyingly poisonous aura.” The Law Enforcement Captain froze for a moment, then let out a breath of relief, only to jolt in alarm again.

”Who’s there? Get out here.” Guu Feifan’s eyes turned cold as he swept his gaze around.

Xiao Yi’s figure appeared out of thin air.

...

Second update.

The third update will be a bit later, probably around 12:30.
