Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2153: Chapter 2150: After the Slumber

Soul Emperor?

Was he calling him? No, probably not.

It must just be that the Evil Emperor sensed the lingering God Slaying Sword Qi on him.

As for that old fellow?

To make a being like the Evil Emperor, whose entire body is steeped in endless ancient aura, actually call someone ”old fellow”...

Who could that be?

In the very last second before his consciousness blacked out, a trace of doubt surged up in Xiao Yi’s heart.

But before he could think, his awareness was completely lost.

Still, he wasn’t worried. The Evil Emperor had retreated, and the rift of the Evil Domain Space had vanished.

His Flame Formation would also collapse as soon as it lost his control.

Everything... just ends here.

The face that Xiao Yi had kept cold all this time finally relaxed slightly in this moment, revealing a faint smile.

Down below, only cries of alarm rose up one after another.

”Kid Xiao Yi.”

”Kid Xiao Xun.”

”Kid Yi Xiao.”

”Brother Xiao Yi.”

”Junior Brother Xiao Yi.”

”...”

Cries of alarm echoed, figures all wore worried looks.

But only eight old men were the fastest, shooting into the air in an instant.

”Get lost.”

”You’re the one who should get lost.”

”Let go, old man.”

”...”

The eight old men all flew toward Xiao Yi, arriving at his limp, falling, already unconscious body almost at the exact same time.

The eight of them caught Xiao Yi together, yet at the same time glared at each other in fury, shouting angrily.

Pa... pa... pa... pa...

The eight palms instantly clashed against each other.

”This...” Down below, the various powerhouses wore strange looks as they watched this high-altitude tug-of-war.

One after another, experts clicked their tongues, but none dared utter even half a sentence.

”Young Master...” Below, only Yiyi’s face was full of worry as she nervously looked toward the sky.

She knew that at this moment, her Young Master must have suffered no light injuries.

Just then, the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden flicked her sleeve and looked at Changtian Wine Demon to the side. ”Hey, brat, help me guard this little girl for now.”

As she spoke, the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden looked toward the Heartless Inn Master and the others. ”You brats are the same.”

”From what I see, you all get along quite well with kid Xiao Yi, don’t you?”

”Brat?” Changtian Wine Demon was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously nodded. ”Uh... alright.”

Swish... A white-robed figure instantly rose into the air.

”Make way.” Before she even arrived, a bellow rang out, and a soaring sword cry tore through the sky.

Beneath that soaring sword cry was an extremely cold Sword Qi, incomparably forceful.

Ordinary veteran powerhouses probably wouldn’t be able to take this sword.

But in front of these eight old men, that Sword Qi was as if it didn’t exist.

”Hmph.”

With just a single aged, cold snort, the Sword Qi instantly collapsed, collapsing utterly silent and without warning, as if it had never appeared.

”Ice Saint’s successor?” Other than the Asura Hall Master and Wind Shattering Palace Master, the other six old men all frowned and gave the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden a glance.

Then their expressions turned faint again, and they no longer paid her any mind.

”Hey, you bunch of old geezers, still not letting go?” Senior Swordswoman scolded, looking at Xiao Yi who was being fought over by the eight.

The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master’s face sank. ”Since when is it your turn, little girl, to prattle here?”

”Do you want this old man to blast you down?”

At the side, the Asura Hall Master let out a cold laugh. ”You try blasting her.”

”This little girl is one of the family elders Xiao Yi respects the most.”

”If even a single hair of hers is hurt, when kid Xiao Yi wakes up, with that brat’s stubborn temper, you see how he’ll settle accounts with you.”

”This...” The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master’s face twitched.

But he had no doubt about the Asura Hall Master’s words; he himself knew very well what kind of temperament his own successor Xiao Xun had.

To the side, the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, Flame Hall Master, and Medicine Venerate Master all frowned together and looked toward Senior Swordswoman.

”More than half a year ago, kid Yi Xiao stirred the entire Heavenly Hidden Academy into chaos for your sake, didn’t he?”

Senior Swordswoman didn’t answer, her face merely turned cold. ”Hmph, all of you, let go for this granny.”

”He’s the successor of my Sky-splitting Sword Sect.”

As her voice fell, Senior Swordswoman’s two hands shot out together.

Those slender jade hands forcibly shook apart the eight aged palms and scooped up the already unconscious Xiao Yi in one go.

The eight men curled their lips, but didn’t make a fuss.

”That damn girl.” The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master said angrily.

Senior Luoo’s face was domineering, his eyes cold, but his cheek only twitched.

They likewise remembered that earlier, when Elder Sheng Yue of the Holy Moon Sect had intended to kill this woman, the icy words from Xiao Yi’s mouth—that if even a single hair of hers was harmed, the entire Holy Moon Sect would be buried with her.

Below, gazes of shock rose one after another, figures turned to look.

”This woman has some guts, actually daring to snatch someone from the hands of eight Main Hall Masters?”

In this era, to force back eight Main Hall Masters with just a few words, I’m afraid there’s only this one person.

Countless shocked gazes turned toward that white-robed figure.

And that white-robed figure, taking the Holy Daughter and carrying that Sword Dao Monster in her arms, drifted away.

...

Within a certain antique boudoir.

On a warm, soft, high bed.

Xiao Yi slowly woke from his faint.

”Ugh.” Xiao Yi let out a muffled groan, his face somewhat pale.

He slowly opened his rather heavy eyelids, tinged with a bit of bitterness.

He had barely moved a little when searing pain swept through his body.

Opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was Yiyi sitting on the bed.

Not far away, at the table beside the bed, a white-robed woman was propping her cheek with one hand, lazily feigning sleep—it was Senior Swordswoman.

”Young Master.”

Almost the instant Xiao Yi opened his eyes, Yiyi at the bed’s corner reacted at once.

It was obvious that during the time Xiao Yi was unconscious, Yiyi had been watching over him the whole time, not sleeping for even a moment.

The woman feigning sleep at the table also opened her eyes, glanced at Xiao Yi, then at Yiyi. ”Girl, I told you long ago, this perverted brat won’t die.”

”He always likes to play games with his own life. Talk doesn’t get through to him, scolding is useless too.”

”You should stop worrying yourself over him.”

”Yiyi.” After Xiao Yi opened his eyes, his gaze was almost entirely fixed on the beauty before him.

Xiao Yi endured the sharp pain and forced himself to struggle up into a sitting position.

Only then did he realize his upper body was bare and his whole body was wrapped in white gauze.

”Young Master, you’re still injured, just lie down.” Yiyi hurriedly supported Xiao Yi.

Senior Swordswoman rose and came over, scolding with a smile, ”You brat, you’ve just woken up and your heart is already only on the beauty, completely ignoring your wounds?”

”Heh, I’m fine.” Xiao Yi shrugged and smiled.

But the instant he shrugged, he sucked in a breath of cold air.

The wound on his shoulder beneath the white gauze felt as if it had split open again.

”Still putting on an act.” Senior Swordswoman’s beautiful eyes widened. She sat at the corner of the bed and placed her hand on Xiao Yi’s arm.

After a moment, she nodded.

”Mm, your injuries have all stabilized. It’s just that you have quite a lot of external wounds; you still need to recuperate.”

”You brat, do you have any idea how serious your injuries are?”

”All over your body: eight sword marks, twelve knife scars, thirty-three fist-and-palm imprints caved into your chest. Every single wound is almost down to the bone, each one no trivial matter.”

”Inside, the five viscera and six bowels, your limbs and bones—more than half damaged, over fifty percent broken, and piles of fractures.”

”Fortunately that old geezer from the Medicine Venerate Hall has outstanding Alchemist skill. Otherwise you probably wouldn’t have woken up yet.”

”It was that serious?” Xiao Yi gave a small smile and asked, ”How long have I been sleeping?”

”A full seven days and seven nights.” Yiyi answered from the side.

...

Second update.

I’ll put the third update out at midnight. I got home too late tonight, beyond what I’d estimated before, so I didn’t manage to finish coding two updates in time. My apologies.
