Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers of the Tianqing Kingdom marched mightily, led by Xiao Yi, they charged at the army of Qingyun Kingdom, which had already lost its formation.

In the standoff between the two armies, the beleaguered troops of Tianqing Kingdom already possessed superior morale.

Now, with Xiao Yi having thrown mountains and annihilated two hundred thousand troops, the morale of the Tianqing Kingdom's army was deeply invigorated.

What diminished one side only made the other grow stronger.

Under the onslaught of the Tianqing Kingdom's army, the Qingyun Kingdom's soldiers were ground down like meat through a grinder.

Defeat spread like a landslide.

Atop the city tower of Po Jun City,

stood two figures, a man and a woman, hands behind their backs, they were the Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouses from the Great Jin Kingdom.

The man was the Guardian Martial God of the Great Jin Kingdom's Eastern Factory, Yu Huaxian, and the woman was the leader of the Great Jin Kingdom's foremost intelligence organization, known as 'the Lady in Red', Li Moqiu.

"Guardian Yu, aren't you going to take action?" Li Moqiu said calmly.

Yin and yang indistinguishable in his voice, Yu Huaxian's slender fingers gently pinched the strands of hair by his temples, his orchid-like fingertips causing Li Moqiu to frown slightly, "Why should I? It's not the citizens of Great Jin who are dying!"

"Are we just going to watch?" asked Li Moqiu.

With a giggle, Yu Huaxian covered his mouth, "Don't you find it beautiful to watch a bunch of ants slaughtering each other, their blood and corpses piling up?"

As he spoke, his crimson tongue licked around his lips.

His eyes glinted with excitement.

Li Moqiu frowned slightly and huffed, "The mission is led by you; we will follow your command!"

"No rush, no rush!"

Yu Huaxian smiled and watched Xiao Yi gallop through the crowd on his horse as if he owned the field, his eyes brimming with excitement and greed, "Such a handsome young man, so powerful yet so young. Those two mountains just now would not be so easily lifted even by me. No wonder Xue Yilou wants him so badly. Hmm, before handing him over to Xue Yilou, I must savor this young man!"

Li Moqiu's eyes twitched as a deep repulsion crossed her face.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield,

the winds and clouds transformed, and the army of Tianqing Kingdom was unstoppable.

Xiao Yi, like a god of slaughter from ancient times, allowed no one to come within thirty feet of him.

Wherever he passed, the dead piled up like mountains; blood flowed like rivers!

"Cease!"

Jiang Shihai mounted his fiery dragon lion, charging forth like wind and fire. Tianqing Kingdom's soldiers were sent flying by his rush, then immolated to ash by the flames belching from his mount. In no time, he was face to face with Xiao Yi, "You wretched little bastard, how dare you slaughter my soldiers. Your death is certain!"

"Hasn't the Great Qian Dynasty decreed that Tao Tribulation Realm experts shouldn't directly partake in battles? You are overstepping the mark!" Xiao Yi's gaze was icy as he stared down Jiang Shihai.

Jiang Shihai laughed coldly, "Rules are meant to bind the weak. With the Great Jin Kingdom at my back, so long as I slay all of you, who would know I have intervened?"

Only because of the special relationship between the two kingdoms did Jiang Shihai dare to act.

The two nations, though of one lineage, had been splintered apart for a millennium.

If he could unite them single-handedly, then he would be the unparalleled hero of the Qingyun Kingdom.

His name would live on for eternity, spoken of through the ages!

Jiang Shihai, the Supporting Mountain King of Qingyun Kingdom, was also a powerhouse of the Second Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm. Now, all he sought was the pinnacle of Martial Arts and prestige.

It was precisely because of this…

That he threw all caution to the wind and intervened personally!

Xiao Yi shook his head, "Ever heard of 'the mantis trying to stop the chariot'?"

"Hmm?"

Jiang Shihai was taken aback.

Xiao Yi said, "You, are that mantis!"

"Insolent brat!"

Jiang Shihai became furious. He, the illustrious Supporting Mountain King, a second-level Tao Tribulation Realm master, was being called a mantis overestimating its own strength by Xiao Yi. His complexion turned thunderous, "You arrogant mongrel, let this king see what the Guardian Martial God of Tianqing is made of!"

Boom!

Jiang Shihai spurred his fiery dragon lion.

Roar!

The fiery dragon lion, a rank six lower-tier demonic beast, comparable to a First Layer Tao Tribulation Realm expert, was shrouded in soaring flames. The mane around its neck licked the air like tongues of fire, and with an open mouth, it shot a fierce fireball.

"Little Lin!"

Xiao Yi muttered with a cold snort.

Swoosh!

A streak of silver light burst forth from his arms – it was Little Lin, who had reached the sixth tier.

"Holy shit..."

Little Lin faced the fireball as it appeared, its silver scales shining brilliantly. With a fierce open mouth, it swallowed the fireball whole.

Hiss!

Little Lin's belly abruptly swelled into a round ball, as if it might burst at any moment!

The ferocious Dragon-Lion roared like thunder, laughing heartily, "Where did this little snake come from, daring to swallow this Lion King's attack? You can go to die now!"

However...

The words of the ferocious Dragon-Lion had barely faded.

Little Lin suddenly spewed out a cloud of black smoke, its distended belly deflating back to normal. After belching contentedly, Little Lin's emerald-green eyes rolled, staring intently at the ferocious Dragon-Lion, "Where did this big cat come from? A mere fireball wants to kill the young master? Such a delusion!"

"Roar! Little snake, you're courting death!"

The ferocious Dragon-Lion charged at him furiously.

Little Lin's body shone with silver light as he suddenly grew larger.

Transforming into a ten-zhang long snake, he tangled with the ferocious Dragon-Lion.

Meanwhile...

The battle between Xiao Yi and Jiang Shihai also erupted in full force. Jiang Shihai wielded a long spear. The tip gleamed with silver light, the dark shaft was tall and slender, adorned with the pattern of a dragon and tiger, the tassels fluttering, "Pierce through the dragon!"

That spear thrust came at lightning speed.

Vital energy was vigorous, clinging to the spear shaft like a dark yellow flood dragon, charging with bared teeth and claws.

Xiao Yi swept his sword horizontally across his chest to block.

Clang!

A sharp sound resonated in the air.

A burst of firelight shot into the sky as the spear tip struck the sword.

Xiao Yi remained motionless.

Jiang Shihai's spear, however, bent completely under the enormous force, the shaft bowing like a full arch. No matter how much he exerted himself, he still couldn't shake Xiao Yi in the slightest. This left Jiang Shihai utterly dumbfounded, "Impossible... This kid clearly hasn't reached the Tao Tribulation Realm, so how can he possess such terrifying strength?"

"With just this level of ability, you think you can kill me?"

Xiao Yi smiled relaxedly, then his eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, the smile on his face dissipating instantaneously, replaced by a trace of coldness, "Let me show you what real power is!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Xiao Yi flicked the blade of his sword with his left hand, and with a humming resonance, the Fire Qilin Sword trembled violently.

The quivering force transmitted from the tip to the shaft of the spear, growing more terrifying by the second.

Hum hum!

The long spear was almost shaken out of Jiang Shihai's hands.

"What?"

Jiang Shihai looked astounded. He gripped the end of the spear tightly and finally managed to stabilize it, but his palm was burst open from the vibration, blood dripping down. He looked at Xiao Yi in shock, "Just a light flick on the blade, and such a terrifying force? Can this guy really not be from the Tao Tribulation Realm?"

At that moment, Jiang Shihai no longer looked down on Xiao Yi, as his gaze became extremely solemn.

Little did he know...

Though Xiao Yi wasn't in the Tao Tribulation Realm, he was surpassing it.

Limitless Golden Elixir with twenty loops!

In terms of sheer strength and vital energy, he was already comparable to a Second Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm expert.

Moreover...

Xiao Yi's ability to fight above his level was already far beyond that of his peers. How could his strength be comparable to Jiang Shihai's?

"Take my sword!"

Xiao Yi brandished his sword from afar, "Torrents descend three thousand feet!"

Hum!

Sword shadows flickered and fluttered, one splitting into two, two into four...

In the blink of an eye, dense sword shadows fell from the sky like a three thousand feet waterfall.

"Black Dragon Searches the Sea!"

"Dragon Battles in the Wilderness..."

Jiang Shihai consecutively deployed his strongest spear techniques, but he simply couldn't stop the endless waves of sword energy. Overwhelmed by the sword waves, he was forced to retreat in panic, while Xiao Yi pressed on relentlessly.

Boom!

The long spear was chopped away fiercely.

"No..."

Jiang Shihai's eyes nearly split with fury as he turned to look in the direction of Po Jun City, "Lord Yu... Save me..."

"Xiao Yi, stop!"

A voice, indistinguishable between Yin and Yang, came from Yu Huaxian as he walked alone in the sky, hands behind his back.

However...

Xiao Yi merely glanced at him, his longsword not ceasing!

Thud thud thud!

A series of sword lights pierced through his body, severing his hands, cutting off his legs. Following up with a thrust of the spear, he impaled Jiang Shihai's body, then with a fierce toss, Jiang Shihai's body was flung out with a swoosh and fell with a thud into the bubbling cauldron, his hysterical screams filling the air.

Supporting Mountain King of Qingyun Kingdom, the formidable Second Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm expert Jiang Shihai, was fried to a golden crisp...
