Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2248: Chapter 2245: Should I Thank Him?

These trump cards, or perhaps the Martial Arts Fusion.

Of course, it was a very forced fusion.

As Senior Luoo said back then, forcing it is tantamount to gambling with one’s life.

Xiao Yi can use it, but he doesn’t dare to use it carelessly.

Or it could be the Ice Phoenix Sword, but the cost is self-evident.

In short, with either trump card, he is confident that he could take that blow and then defeat Lu Lingshuang.

However, if unnecessary, why risk such terrible costs?

Thus, Xiao Yi said, ”What a close call,” wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and chuckled lightly.

This battle can end now.

Lu Lingshuang has no fight left.

”Miss Lu, you can stop now,” Xiao Yi said lightly.

”You...” Lu Lingshuang’s face was already pale, her whole body weak, and she gradually swayed, obviously unable to stand.

The next second, Lu Lingshuang’s eyes went black, and her body fell straight down.

Before falling, she unwillingly muttered, ”You’re... not dead yet...”

The words were faint, like the buzz of a mosquito, but Xiao Yi heard them clearly, and his face twitched.

He evidently felt Lu Lingshuang’s astonishing intent to kill him.

However, Lu Lingshuang couldn’t do anything to him.

Xiao Yi gave an awkward smile, then reacted instantly.

On the chief platform, Lu Long’s face also changed dramatically, ”Lingshuang.”

Lu Lingshuang fell straight down, but she still held the Ice Storm Giant Sword in her hand.

If it were a normal conclusion to the battle, or if she regained her strength and withdrew the sword immediately, it would be fine.

But now having fallen while still in battle state, the immense weight of the Ice Storm Giant Sword would press down.

The sword body of the Ice Storm Giant Sword was still radiating astonishing Sword Intent.

The sword wouldn’t crush her, but at least it would break her arm.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered, instantly catching the half-fallen Lu Lingshuang, and he also took the Ice Storm Giant Sword from her hand.

After all, he was in the wrong previously; he couldn’t just watch her die this time.

Xiao Yi, being close to Lu Lingshuang, was naturally faster.

While Lu Long, though powerful, was on the chief platform, thus arriving a bit slower.

”Kid, what are you trying to do?” Lu Long shouted instinctively.

Then, seeing that Xiao Yi had no malicious intent, he relaxed and frowned at Xiao Yi.

”Kid, put down the Ice Storm Giant Sword immediately; it’s not something you can hold,” Lu Long scolded.

The scolding lacked the previous coldness, leaving only pure disdain.

Xiao Yi said nothing, his hand gripped the Ice Storm Giant Sword, his arm tensed.

”What astonishing weight.” Xiao Yi, holding the Ice Storm Giant Sword, truly felt its incredible weight.

It was at least a hundred times heavier than his previous Blizzard Sword.

The Ice Storm Power on the sword was overwhelming and astonishing.

Xiao Yi slightly lifted the sword in his hand and smiled lightly, ”Can’t hold it? Well, it’s not that hard.”

Lu Long’s face changed, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, ”How is this possible, a perfect tenfold fit?”

The Ice Storm Giant Sword is the sword of the Lu Family Ancestor and the most important Holy Artifact of the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion.

Even Lu Lingshuang had no right to wield it.

Hence this sword was always in Lu Long’s possession, merely lent to Lu Lingshuang for the battle just now.

Throughout the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion, only two people can perfectly fit with the Ice Storm Giant Sword.

One is him, and the other is Lu Lingshuang, who awakened the Sword Tomb Martial Soul, aligned due to the Martial Soul within the Ice Storm Giant Sword.

Yet now, Xiao Yi, an outsider who doesn’t seem to follow any Ice Attribute Sword Dao, could also perfectly fit with the Ice Storm Giant Sword?

At this moment, Xiao Yi meticulously examined the body of the Ice Storm Giant Sword.

He’s well aware that it’s not his Martial Arts that align with this Divine Weapon.

Rather, it’s his Ice Phoenix Sword within him that’s active.

To be precise, the Ice Phoenix Sword was suppressing the Ice Storm Giant Sword.

The originally overwhelming icy aura and Sword Intent of the Ice Storm Giant Sword instantly vanished at Xiao Yi’s thought.

”Return to the rightful owner.” Xiao Yi shook his arm, sending the Ice Storm Giant Sword flying.

Lu Long caught it.

But Lu Long’s gaze remained on Xiao Yi.

Because Xiao Yi’s arm was still holding Lu Lingshuang.

Around them, the young Heavenly Talents were already full of anger, ”Kid, Guardian Lu Long has come up, and you’re still holding Senior Sister Lu? Let go at once!”

”Brat, let go immediately! You won the fight, do you still want to take advantage?”

The surrounding curses, of course, all from the young Heavenly Talents.

Lu Long frowned, silent.

After a while, Lu Lingshuang, held in Xiao Yi’s arms, slowly awoke from her faint, her pale face and weak aura recovering to normal.

Of course, the backlash injuries hadn’t yet healed.

Lu Lingshuang slowly opened her beautiful eyes, which were as clear as water, yet extremely cold, seemingly holding a world of wind and snow, mysterious and captivating.

And when she awoke, the first thing that met her eyes was the face she remembered well yet gritted her teeth at, and the cold intention in her eyes immediately burst again.

”Bastard, you...” As soon as Lu Lingshuang woke up, she instantly broke free, then retaliated with a heavy palm.

Lu Long, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed Lu Lingshuang’s palm, ”Lingshuang, don’t be rude.”

”Master...” Lu Lingshuang frowned.

Lu Long looked at Xiao Yi, cupped his hands, ”I’ve long heard that Master Xiao Yi also has the identity of a Fire Control Demon.”

”Just now, your masterful control of the Golden Flame Sacred Fire truly opened this old man’s eyes.”

”The fire, injected into Lingshuang’s body, easily dispelled the terrible Ice Dao aura backlash in her meridians.”

”This amazing Fire Control skill is probably only discernible to us few protectors here.”

Xiao Yi chuckled lightly, ”Guardian Lu overpraises.”

”Lingshuang.” Lu Long looked at Lu Lingshuang, his eyes suddenly cold, ”Have you forgotten my past warnings?”

”That backlash isn’t something you can endure. Were you trying to throw your life away just now?”

”Fortunately, Master Xiao Yi is here, with his incredible Fire Control skills and the hands of an Alchemist. Otherwise, you would have been unconscious for half a month at best, and at worst, your talents would be damaged beyond recovery.”

The backlash of the Martial Soul indeed brings about severe consequences.

The stronger the Martial Soul, the more terrifying the consequences if one lacks the power to control it.

”Aren’t you going to thank Master Xiao Yi?” Lu Long scolded.

Besides being Lu Lingshuang’s master, Lu Long is also her family elder.

Lu Lingshuang’s face turned pale, and she bit her lip.

It seemed that this demand was more difficult for her than suffering serious injury or death.

To say ’thank you’ to this rogue in front of her, who ruined her purity and disrupted her cultivation?

To thank someone who bullied her out of nowhere?

”Lingshuang.” Lu Long frowned, intensifying his tone.

Lu Lingshuang’s fist clenched, her exceptionally beautiful face paled again, but in the paleness, there was a hint of red.

This was a complexion forcibly suppressed under extreme anger.

”Forget it.” Xiao Yi shook his head, ”Do as you will, no need to thank.”

”Well then, back to business, this battle...”

Lu Long was about to struggle with a sentence, but upon hearing ’business,’ his face turned serious, ”Of course, Master Xiao Yi, you have won.”

”The battle, this old man saw with his own eyes, Master Xiao Yi indeed has remarkable strength, worthy of this qualification.”

”Master Xiao Yi wishes to enter the fourth floor of the Ice Palace; this old man no longer opposes.”
