Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi clasped the Purple Cloud Iron Sword in his hand and struck a blow at Guu Changfeng.

Suddenly, a sharp sword appeared in Guu Changfeng's hand, surrounded by swirling breezes, quite extraordinary.

With a clang, Xiao Yi was slightly pushed back.

"Sword Martial Soul," Xiao Yi's gaze sharpened.

Sword Martial Soul, on par with Sword Martial Soul, is one of the most powerful kinds of Martial Souls in the category of Artifact Martial Souls.

Those Martial Artists who can awaken a Sword Martial Soul or Sword Martial Soul generally have strong talents.

And judging by the sword in Guu Changfeng's hand, it seemed to be of no low rank, at least a green peak Martial Soul.

"I remember now, you four ants." Guu Changfeng glanced at Xiao Yi and the others like Lin Jin, suddenly remembering something, his face turned extremely ugly.

"A few days ago, my subordinate Hu Hai was killed by you, and nearly a hundred points that should belong to this young master were stolen," said Guu Changfeng with murder written all over his face.

"So what if it was us?" Xiao Yi sneered coldly.

These past few days in the forest, Xiao Yi had already heard quite a bit about this Guu Changfeng.

This man was arrogant, petty, with a very narrow mind, and ruthless to boot.

So today, when he saw Qin Feiyang being attacked, he immediately came out to assist.

Firstly because he felt quite favorable towards Qin Feiyang, and secondly because he knew Guu Changfeng would definitely cause trouble for his group of four, so it might as well be settled now.

"Hmph," Guu Changfeng snorted coldly, "If that's the case, today this young master will take back the points and send you four to the Netherworld by the way."

"Come at me if you can," Xiao Yi responded, completely unfazed.

"Blood-drinking Reversing Wind Palm," Guu Changfeng bellowed, throwing out a palm strike.

It was the same Blood Palm that had injured Lin Jin and Tie Niu earlier.

This was a Peak Xuan Rank Martial Technique, and with Innate Ninth Layer Cultivation, the power was extremely formidable.

This is the advantage of being from a major clan: possessing high-level Martial Techniques others only dream of, with formidable combat strength.

However, Lin Jin's Godslayer Slash just now was also at the peak of the Xuan Rank, suggesting that Lin Jin was no ordinary person either.

But back to the main point, Xiao Yi did not meet the attack head-on but instead moved his footwork, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

"So fast," Guu Changfeng's pupils shrank, his eyes clearly unable to keep up with Xiao Yi's movements, let alone hit him.

Clang, suddenly, a hum of Sword Qi appeared behind Guu Changfeng.

A Sword Gang broke through the sky at an extremely fast speed.

"Not good," Guu Changfeng felt the sharp aura behind him and was taken aback; he quickly turned to defend, but was still a hair too slow.

He saw his sword slightly deflect, barely allowing the Sword Gang to veer off from his vital spot, but it struck his shoulder instead.

"Damn, how could this guy be so fast," frowned Guu Changfeng.

Clang, another hum of Sword Qi.

Another Sword Gang traced a bloody line on his shoulder.

After a dozen seconds, his shoulder was already dripping with blood, yet he had not even touched the hem of Xiao Yi's clothes.

"Trash, do you only dare to sneak around and ambush me?" Guu Changfeng was furious, "Have the guts to come out and face me head-on."

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Xiao Yi's figure kept leaping, and under his extreme speed, he seemed to vanish completely.

Hearing Guu Changfeng's words, Xiao Yi sneered in his heart. ThischapterfirstappearedonM|V|L^EMPYR.

The Breeze Sword Gang, inherently elegant and nimble, is not about strength but excels in speed and evasion.

There's no reason to attack the enemy's strength with one's own weakness unless one is a fool.

Moreover, he didn't want to use Purple Flame, or the methods he had used under the identity of Yi Xiao. Otherwise, even if he faced him head-on, Guu Changfeng would still be instantly defeated.

Clang, clang, clang...

The hums of Sword Qi constantly flickered past, and Guu Changfeng kept getting injured.

On another front, Lin Jin, Tie Niu, Yanran, and Qin Feiyang casually dealt with the few hundred Martial Artists.

Despite their numbers, these few hundred Martial Artists were only at Innate Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer, and some were at just Innate First Layer, Second Layer, far from being a match for the four of them.

However, having the advantage of numbers, if they couldn't win, they would immediately retreat, letting others surround them; there were no deaths for the time being, at worst heavy injuries.

"Eh, that Guu Changfeng doesn't seem reliable at all." Lin Jin cleaved with his blade, dealing with the enemy with ease, and took the chance to glance over at the battle between Xiao Yi and Guu Changfeng during a lull in the action.

"Indeed," Tie Niu also said, "That Guu Changfeng seems to have very poor real battle experience."

"Although Brother Xiao Yi's speed is extremely fast, his cultivation is only at the Innate Third Layer, after all, and in terms of true combat power, he can't compare to someone at the Innate Ninth Layer."

"If it were an experienced Innate Ninth Layer martial artist, one would easily think of a way to counter his speed advantage. Even if they couldn't suppress him, they would at least not be so powerless. But this Guu Changfeng is simply being crushed one-sidedly."

At that moment, Qin Feiyang disdainfully said, "Do you think that Guu Changfeng amounts to anything?"

"He has awakened a Sword Martial Soul, which indeed shows good talent. But as for his cultivation, it's completely built on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Elixir Elixirs."

"He's lucky to have a good family with heaps of cultivation resources to nurture him."

"However, this makes his foundation unstable, and in combat against martial artists of the same level, he appears quite weak. He can only rely on his cultivation advantage to deal with those whose cultivation is lower than his."

"Like me, being one layer lower in cultivation, I'm not his opponent. But facing Brother Xiao Yi, who has rich real battle experience and is adept at speed, he has no way to cope."

Shortly after Qin Feiyang's words fell, indeed, in the battle on the other side, Guu Changfeng, who was losing too much blood, was gradually unable to hold on.

"Damn it," Guu Changfeng cursed angrily, "Xiao Yi, is it? You just wait."

Having said that, he dissolved his condensed Sword Martial Soul and then indifferently revealed another sword in his hand.

Almost at the moment that sword appeared, his aura surged violently, and a sharp Sword Qi rampaged within a radius of several dozen meters around him, instantly repelling Xiao Yi.

Thrown back more than ten meters, Xiao Yi steadied himself and muttered, "So it's a Spiritual Artifact."

"It's the Guu Family's Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Wind Singing Sword," Qin Feiyang shouted loudly, "Brother Xiao Yi, retreat quickly, you're no match for him without a Spiritual Artifact."

"Spiritual Artifact?" Xiao Yi sneered, then advanced instead of retreating, unleashing a punch with all his might.

"Hmph," Guu Changfeng's face turned cold as he said, "Now is not the time to go all out with you. For the time being, I'll spare you insignificant ants."

With that, he swung the Wind Singing Sword in his hand, and countless streams of Sword Qi surged forth.

In his eyes, Xiao Yi was no longer a threat, and instead, he directed his attack toward Lin Jin and the others.

Xiao Yi was startled; he naturally didn't fear the Sword Qi, but he was worried that Lin Jin and the rest couldn't withstand it, so he immediately retreated, returning to Lin Jin and the others' side.

"Retreat," Guu Changfeng bellowed at the same time.

The several hundred martial artists immediately withdrew.

Just as Xiao Yi wanted to stop them, countless strands of Sword Qi were already incoming, and he had no choice but to block the Sword Qi, helplessly watching as they left.

Once the Sword Qi was completely blocked, the several hundred martial artists had already fled far away, and about a dozen with weaker cultivations who escaped slowly were intercepted by Xiao Yi and Lin Jin.

"Spare us, please," the dozens of martial artists immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Spare you?" Lin Jin said coldly, "Just now, you were all set on putting us to death."

"Die," Lin Jin snorted coldly and cleaved with his blade.

"We admit defeat," the dozens of martial artists exclaimed in terror, then raised their Tokens, and a void-like shield enveloped their bodies.

Thump, thump, thump, Lin Jin's blade was easily blocked, and the dozens of martial artists were unharmed.

This was the Prohibition of the Token, also a protection granted by the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

According to the rules, participants in the trials, if their lives were in danger, could activate this layer of Prohibition to keep themselves safe.

However, activating the Prohibition meant admitting defeat and failing the trial; after an hour, a Deacon of the Sword Sect would take those who used it out of the forest.

The strength of the Prohibition required at least a martial artist of the Sixth Layer of Mysterious Profundity or higher to break.

But unless it was absolutely necessary, no one wanted to use it.

Because once used, one would forfeit the chance to become a disciple of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

Now these dozen or so kneeling martial artists knew that Lin Jin wanted to kill them and were forced to use it.

Of course, there were some martial artists who didn't manage to use it and died.

Like Hu Hai and his people who were far behind Xiao Yi and his group to begin with, and they thought they could kill Xiao Yi and the others since they had more people, didn't manage to activate the Prohibition and were instantly slain.

In fact, this was a trial, not a fight to the death. Generally, martial artists participating in the trials wouldn't kill others; after taking their points, they would let the people go.

But like Hu Hai and Guu Changfeng, who were ruthless and murderous even after getting points, Xiao Yi and his group naturally wouldn't hold back and likewise sought to take their lives.

But I digress.

After these dozen people used the Prohibition, the points on their Token would automatically appear on the shield.

Xiao Yi just had to place his own Token against the edge of the shield and would automatically acquire their points.
