Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1335 - 1318: A One-Man Battle

In Sword Martial City, shrouded by the Sky Concealing Array, sixty titled Emperor Martials from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain had descended. They stood high above, like divine beings judging mortals.

However, at this moment, their expressions turned to shock as they looked at the figure that suddenly appeared on the street not far away.

It was a young man.

His black robe fluttered in the wind, his posture as upright as a spear, with delicate features and ink-like black hair flowing in the void, standing on the street holding a child.

He didn’t exude any aura, yet his eyes were like an abyss, staring unblinkingly at the sixty titled Emperor Martials of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, unfathomable, impossible to ignore.

"Are you... Sect Leader?"

The child in his arms, with tear marks still on his face, widened his dark eyes, looked up at the young man holding him, involuntarily uttering a timid voice, then filled with excitement.

Although he was a child, having lived in Sword Martial City with his parents, who were Martial Artists of Wuji Sect, the youth who was revered by Wuji Sect had left a deep impression on him over time.

He even idolized this young man deep in his heart, setting him as a goal to embark upon the path of Martial Arts.

"Little one, you are very brave."

Xiao Ye glanced down at the child in his arms, patted his head, looked around at the now grim hellish Sword Martial City, and sighed lightly.

He had come out of seclusion only to witness such a tragic scene.

The war between Wuji Sect and the Iron Blood Emperor Domain had implicated so many innocent people, filling his heart with guilt.

Those innocently slain were mostly family members of Wuji Sect Martial Artists.

Perhaps these people had so much faith in Wuji Sect, which is why so many stayed in Sword Martial City instead of evacuating.

"It’s the Sect Leader!"

"The Sect Leader has appeared!"

"Sect Leader, please save me!"

...

At this moment, in the chaotic Sword Martial City, the floundering martial artists and the old and weak women and children all had hope spark in their eyes upon seeing Xiao Ye’s appearance.

Now that Sword Martial City had been sealed by the Sealing Heaven Array, they had no way to escape, and facing the sixty titled Emperor Martials of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, they were nearly in despair. Xiao Ye’s appearance was like a lifeline thrown to a drowning person.

"Xiao Ye!"

"You little bastard, you finally appeared!"

"Our actions in the Iron Blood Emperor Domain require no questioning from you. You’d better stand still and await your doom. Today we’ll use your blood to commiserate those Iron Blood Emperor Domain powerhouses you killed."

...

The sixty titled Emperor Martials of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain focused their gaze on Xiao Ye, producing cold laughter as immense killing intent swept out, reversing the nine heavens and shattering the heavenly dome.

"It’s heard you’re highly favored, having a half-step Emperor protecting you."

"This old man today will see if the half-step Emperor who protects you is different from what the Domain Lord predicted."

"Within the Sealing Heaven Array, without guidance from our Emperor Domain’s Array Master, except for a half-step Emperor, no one can enter. You can only fight us alone, let that half-step Emperor appear. Today all secrets will be revealed."

Among the sixty titled Emperor Martials of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, an elder stood out, wearing a crescent robe, his physique robust. Although in his seventies, his spirit had reached the peak of his life, with a sense of returning to middle age, his terrifying aura shook heaven and earth, surpassing even the Sword Emperor.

Most terrifying of all was that he bore three types of mysterious aura, his cultivation reaching the late stage of Level 8 Emperor Martial.

This elder, the strongest among the sixty titled Emperor Martials, already had a seven-star level strength qualification, named Gu Yue, ranking highly even in the elite-filled Iron Blood Emperor Domain.

He walked toward Xiao Ye through the air, each step causing ripples in the void, terrifying to the extreme.

Without needing his orders, the other fifty-nine titled Emperor Martials flashed into action, coordinating to encircle Xiao Ye, with mocking smiles on their faces, like cats toying with a mouse.

They admitted that Xiao Ye might have half-step Emperor combat power beside him, but definitely not a true half-step Emperor. This had already been deduced by the Iron Blood Domain Master, and they believed it without doubt, thinking Xiao Ye might have some treasure.

With such a powerhouse as Gu Yue present, along with most having reached the three-star titled level, they feared nothing.

"Xiao Ye, escape quickly!"

Outside Sword Martial City, the Wuji Sect Martial Artists who were battling the ten thousand Iron Blood Army and Holy Fire Domain Sect Forces were closely monitoring the events within Sword Martial City. Seeing the sixty titled Emperor Martials enclosing Xiao Ye shook them to their cores.

"Xiao Ye!"

Bing Ya’s beautiful eyes turned red in an instant, pushing her special Heavenly-level physique to the extreme. The terrifying chill froze heaven and earth as she charged through the army, desperate to return and help.

Especially the Sword Emperor, who was utterly horrified.

He knew well from being ambushed by these titled Emperor Martials that aside from a seven-star titled Emperor Martial like Gu Yue, there were many three-star and even four-star titled Emperor Martials. The elites had all poured out, incomparable to the scale when they destroyed the Star Alliance.

How could the high-ranking officials of Wuji Sect not know the secret of the half-step Emperor protecting Xiao Ye?

The martial artists who traveled to witness the battles in the Three Alliances Domain were also tremendously shocked, losing interest in watching Wuji Sect and Holy Fire Domain, Iron Blood Army’s fight, instead fixing their gaze on Sword Martial City.

The stifling stench of blood spread throughout Sword Martial City, quieting the place significantly, the elderly, women, and children inside growing tense.

The Sealing Heaven Array prevented the external Wuji Sect powerhouses from breaking in, the fate of the entire city resting solely on Xiao Ye.

"Heh!"

"Do I need a half-step Emperor to deal with you?"

"I, Xiao Ye, alone am enough."

Surrounded by Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s titled Emperor Martials, Xiao Ye chuckled lightly.

"What?"

Hearing Xiao Ye’s words, the titled Emperor Martials of the Iron Blood Empire showed immediate surprise, then many burst into derisive laughter.

Was this kid a fool?

With their combined might, these sixty powerful titled Emperor Martials could even contend with a half-step Emperor, yet Xiao Ye dared to claim he could take them all on alone?

As they laughed wildly, Xiao Ye waved his hand, gently sending the child in his arms a distance away with a warm Emperor Martial power, then brushed his hand over his Space Ring, instantly drawing out an entire set of Iron Blood Battle Technique from the Space Ring.

Shh-shh-shh!

Individual pieces of the Iron Blood Armor floated in the air, bound by Emperor Martial power, swiftly assembling onto Xiao Ye, instantly wrapping his entire body, leaving only his eyes visible, like a Death God returning from Hell, exuding a formidable, earth-shattering murderous aura.

"Killing you all, should bring the downfall of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain from its altar..."
