Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2225: Chapter 2222: Sudden Assault?

In place, Xia Canglan shook his head, looked at Xiao Yi helplessly, and sighed, ”Boy, do you understand now?”

”In terms of cultivation, a year and a half ago, you were certainly the first among the younger generation on the continent.”

”But you’ve been traveling for a year and a half, your cultivation has stagnated for a long time without the slightest progress.”

”As for the eight Venerable Envoys, after the fourth layer of the Ice Venerate Hall opened, each received their own opportunities, each stepping into the Saint Sovereign Realm.”

”Among the eight, there are even those with higher cultivation than you.”

Xia Canglan shook his head again, ”The most important thing is, with so many limitations now, what can you still use to fight them?”

Xiao Yi just smiled, ”Senior Xia, do you truly have no confidence in me?”

”What do you think?” Xia Canglan rolled his eyes, ”Your battle record is astounding, and you have many strategies, but don’t underestimate the Venerable Envoys of the Ice Emperor Palace.”

”None of them are ordinary, each has been rigorously trained by the Ice Emperor Palace, and each has exceptional methods.”

”You...”

Xiao Yi smiled and interrupted, ”I’m looking forward to seeing their prowess.”

”Let’s go.”

With that, Xiao Yi took the lead and flew into the air.

Xia Canglan followed closely behind.

A few breaths later, the two stopped at the Sect Square.

The grand Ice Emperor Palace was inherently quite vast.

Naturally, the Sect Square and its Martial Arts Arena were equally astonishingly large.

This Martial Arts Arena, made of Mystic Ice, is extremely sturdy.

Surrounding it, countless martial artists had already gathered.

Besides the three Great Protectors and nine elders, other ordinary elder deacons were present, along with numerous martial artists within the Ice Emperor Palace.

At the Chief’s Office of the Arena, three protectors sat solemnly.

Xia Yifeng furrowed his brows, ”It’s just a competition match, is it necessary to make such a fuss and alert the whole palace?”

Guardian Nangong sneered, ”This is not a usual young generation clash.”

”It’s this successor of the Eight Palaces who wants to battle our Ice Emperor Palace’s eight Venerable Envoys, naturally the entire palace’s martial artists should come to watch.”

Guardian Nangong paused, boasting, ”Watch as your so-called outstanding monster miserably loses to our Ice Emperor Palace’s Heavenly Talents.”

”And watch as this monster falls from grace.”

”Of course, the most important thing is, let the palace’s martial artists see how extraordinary the strength of our palace’s eight strongest Heavenly Talents is, not disappointing the elders of our palace.”

Xia Yifeng shook his head and said nothing.

On the Martial Arts Arena, Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back.

A hundred meters ahead, stood the eight Venerable Envoys of the Ice Emperor Palace.

Outside the Arena, one by one, the Ice Emperor Palace martial artists eagerly awaited the match, each with excited expressions, discussing fervently.

”A confrontation between the strongest monsters of the present age, truly a rare event in a thousand years.”

”Facing our Ice Emperor Palace’s eight Venerable Envoys, even Xiao Yi might not be certain of the outcome.”

”That’s hard to say, the name of the twins, the name of Poison Robe Xiao Xun, neither is to be trifled with.”

Surroundings, chatter buzzed.

Countless eyes focused on the nine young figures on the Martial Arts Arena.

Among the eight Venerable Envoys, each had a proud expression, except for Bing Mei’er and the one who had lost to Xiao Yi in the past, whose expressions were somewhat indescribable.

On the Chief’s Office, Guardian Bing loudly said, ”Master Xiao Yi, you are a guest, naturally deserving of some courtesy.”

”Decide who you want to challenge first.”

On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena.

”First?” Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at the eight ahead, and cupped his hands.

”What?” Guardian Nangong snorted, ”Afraid of losing, being courteous first to avoid embarrassment if you fail?”

”Haha.” Xiao Yi chuckled, ”Not at all, I’m just pressed for time.”

”Why don’t the eight of you come at me together, is that alright?”

”What?” The previously proud eight simultaneously changed their expressions.

Surroundings, where discussions were rife, suddenly fell silent.

Next second, a collective uproar erupted.

”Gasp, such audacity, wanting to challenge eight Venerable Envoys at once?”

”Rumor had it that Master Xiao Yi is incredibly arrogant, today it truly seems so.”

”Still, today he’s overdoing it, and picking the wrong place.”

On the Chief’s Office, Guardian Nangong frowned, ”Master Xiao Yi, are you joking?”

Xia Canglan transmitted a thought, ”Boy, are you crazy?”

Surroundings, voices piercing.

”Is it that Master Xiao Yi has no confidence at all?”

”He knew he would definitely lose, deliberately finding an excuse?”

”Indeed, if he loses to the combined effort of the eight Venerable Envoys, he has a reason to say the defeat wasn’t unjustified, sparing himself some face.”

On the Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi ignored the piercing words, only looking at the eight, urging, ”Quickly, you wouldn’t want to waste time either.”

Among the eight, the one with the most proud expression sneered, ”Indeed, you’re bound to lose, no need to waste time.”

Xiao Yi shrugged, ”I mean, fighting one versus fighting eight, there’s no difference.”

”Too weak.” Xiao Yi casually uttered three words.

”What did you say? You bastard.” The proudest one instantly became furious.

Beside him, someone held him back.

”Brother Nangong Ming, it’s uncertain whether this brat is qualified to challenge you, why bother with him.”

”Let me, little brother, go and meet him first.”

Nangong Ming slightly furrowed his brows, then relaxed, ”Alright, let brother Bing Yu teach him a lesson first.”

Bing Yu was the white-robed Venerable Envoy who had lost to Xiao Yi in the Four-direction Domain.

Whoosh... Bing Yu’s figure flashed, instantly stepping out, coming within ten meters of Xiao Yi.

Donned in white robes, his eyes cold as frost, he stared at Xiao Yi.

”Should I call you Xiao Yi, or Yi Xiao?”

”Whatever you please.” Xiao Yi shrugged.

”Then Xiao Yi it is.” Bing Yu’s mouth curled into a sneer, ”After all, you hid your head and tail, even acted under a false name, like a cowardly turtle.”

”I call your real name now, granting you some respect.”

”I, Bing Yu, never defeat nameless pupils.”

”Take the first move.” Xiao Yi shook his head, ”Quickly, don’t waste time.”

”Arrogant.” Bing Yu coldly exclaimed.

”Xiao Yi, do you truly think you can defeat me like three years ago?”

”Back then, you barely won.”

”This Venerable Envoy knows your war achievements a year ago were impressive, but that was only by relying on the power of a top-grade Holy Artifact, sacrificing your vitality.”

”In terms of true skill, what are you?”

”Huh.” Hearing this, Xiao Yi exhaled lightly, shaking his head again.

”I give you time to strike, time to fight, yet you waste it on babbling.”

”Oh well.”

Clang...

A crisp sword hum echoed in Xiao Yi’s hand.

”Xiao Yi, remember this.” Bing Yu’s face showed fear, ”You’re not allowed to use your Purple Lightning Divine Sword.”

”Such hubris you think demands Purple Lightning?” Xiao Yi scoffed.

The sword in his hand was merely a sharp blade condensed from Primordial Power.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure instantly vanished from its spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Bing Yu.

”What? Such speed!” Bing Yu only saw a blur, his complexion changing instantly.

Bang...

A single explosive sound filled the air.

Bing Yu’s figure was instantly smashed, flying straight out of the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena, before spewing a mouthful of blood.

”How can this be, a one-sword kill?” Surroundings instantly uproarious.

”You bastard, launching a sudden sneak attack?” On the Chief’s Office, Guardian Nangong angrily shouted.
