Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1423: So This Is the End
"Xiao Yi, you bring this upon yourself, don’t blame us for it."
Xue Bai and the other seven Heavenly Talents had a ferocious glint in their eyes.
"You’re courting death." Gongsun Huowu raised her whip, "If anything happens to Lianxing, neither the Heavenly Rope Prefecture nor the Heavenly Star Prefecture will let this matter rest."
As soon as she spoke these words,
several Heavenly Talents and some elders instantly showed a flicker of apprehension on their faces.
The Primordial Power they were brewing in their hands hesitated.
The Heavenly Rope Prefecture and the Heavenly Star Prefecture had always had a strong relationship, advancing and retreating together.
If these two prefectures made a move, none of the Eighteen Mansions would have an easy time.
"Hmph." Xue Bai snorted coldly, "Never let it rest?"
"Then let your Heavenly Rope Prefecture and Heavenly Star Prefecture seek revenge from that little thief Xiao Yi."
"What does it have to do with us?"
"Indeed." Another Heavenly Talent spoke.
"We are only dealing with this little thief Xiao Yi; what wrong is there in that?"
"Xiao Yi was no match for others, couldn’t save anyone, and instead harmed them."
"Blame Guu Lianxing for mistakenly trusting such a little thief."
"You..." Gongsun Huowu trembled with anger but could not outmatch these eight in words.
"Fengg Ji, do you think the same?"
Gongsun Huowu looked coldly at the Young Master of the Sword Light Mansion, Fengg Ji, among the eight Heavenly Talents.
"I..." Fengg Ji’s tone stalled.
After a moment, he coldly nodded.
"Huowu, I won’t harm you, but I must cut down that little thief Xiao Yi."
"If you have the skill, then come." Gongsun Huowu shouted angrily.
Fengg Ji gritted his teeth, "Huowu, I’ve already had the second Awakening of my Martial Soul, you’re no match for me, stand aside."
Whoosh...
A stream of light flashed by.
It was a fierce bolt of lightning.
The lightning crashed heavily in front of Gongsun Huowu.
Gongsun Huowu could only just lift her whip in defense.
However, when the lightning touched the whip, it shattered inch by inch.
"Pfft." Gongsun Huowu spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled back several steps.
Yes, several steps.
Because a streak of Starlight Sword Qi instantly shielded in front of her.
She was only injured by the residual force.
Even just the residual force of that lightning, however, was enough to instantly defeat Gongsun Huowu, who used to be the fifth. This illustrated how strong the eight Heavenly Talents were now.
The one who struck just now was the Young Master of the Thunder Light Mansion, Lei Ba.
"Huowu." Fengg Ji shouted in surprise.
"Lei Ba, you’re courting death."
"Fengg Ji." Lei Ba coldly glanced at Fengg Ji, "You know very well what you should do."
"You..." Fengg Ji forcefully suppressed the anger in his eyes.
"Hmph." Inside the Main Mansion, Gongsun Huowu snorted coldly, "Fengg Ji, to think you and I, and Lianxing, are supposed to be friends. I must be blind."
"And you all, I can’t believe people like you used to be mentioned in the same breath as me, Gongsun Huowu. It’s an utter disgrace."
Gongsun Huowu pointed at each of the Heavenly Talents and cursed, revealing her fiery personality completely.
Each of the Heavenly Talents’ faces twitched, their expressions somewhat ugly.
"Nonsense, Gongsun Huowu, watch your mouth." Xue Bai shouted angrily.
"Stop wasting words with them, attack." Lei Ba’s domineering words fell as a bolt of lightning was unleashed from his hand.
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, and shouted in a low voice, "Move aside."
"I refuse to." Gongsun Huowu once again formed a long whip.
"I will stand with you to protect Lianxing..."
But before she could finish her sentence, she was pushed back again by the lightning.
This time, however, Xiao Yi was the first to unleash Sword Qi.
As a result, Gongsun Huowu was not harmed.
"Attack." The crowd of Heavenly Talents shouted, instantly unleashing fierce attacks.
The elders also made their move immediately.
In an instant, surging Primordial Power filled the entire Blood Light Cave Mansion.
Attacks rained down densely.
Xiao Yi swept across with just one sword.
Streaks of Starlight Sword Qi densely shielded in front of him.
The incoming attacks were all blocked by the Starlight Sword Qi.
"Remarkable." Gongsun Huowu’s beautiful eyes lit up with joy, "As expected of Xiao Yi."
She hadn’t even noticed that at some point, she had stopped calling him "little thief" and started calling him "Xiao Yi."
"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled lightly and glanced at Gongsun Huowu, saying, "I didn’t expect Miss Huo Wu to be smart this time."
Her earlier banter and squabble with those eight had bought him quite a bit of time.
Xiao Yi was confident that in just a few more minutes, he could fully repair Guu Lianxing’s Bloodline.
"What?" Gongsun Huowu instinctively felt that Xiao Yi’s ’praise’ was both a compliment and an insult, but she still asked curiously, "What was smart?"
"Uh." Xiao Yi looked at Gongsun Huowu’s puzzled expression, paused for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, nothing."
It seemed that his earlier thoughts were just unbridled assumptions given Gongsun Huowu’s fiery temperament.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
Outside the Main Mansion, the attacks from the other Heavenly Talents and elders came once more.
Xiao Yi swept across with his sword, blocking them all again.
"Xiao Yi, I’ll assist you." Gongsun Huowu raised her whip.
"No need." Xiao Yi shouted.
"No..." Gongsun Huowu’s face was unswerving.
"Stand behind me." Xiao Yi’s face turned cold.
"This..." Gongsun Huowu looked at Xiao Yi’s cold expression, her stubborn look suddenly fading.
"Oh, got it, no need to scold." Gongsun Huowu mumbled, and surprisingly she ran lightly to stand obediently behind Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Alone, he could block these attacks with great ease.
Adding Gongsun Huowu would require diverting some Sword Qi to protect her.
Better to handle it alone.
Outside the Main Mansion, Fengg Ji’s face suddenly looked extremely grim.
He had never seen the fiery-tempered Gongsun Huowu act so demurely like a small bird clinging to someone.
"Xiao Yi, I want you dead." Fengg Ji’s hand gripping his sword suddenly trembled, then steadied.
A ripple of black light suddenly emanated from him.
A black sharp sword suddenly formed.
Clearly, this was his Martial Soul, and after its second Awakening, a black Martial Soul at that.
"Floating Light Shadow." Fengg Ji slashed out with his sword.
The Sword Qi was incredibly fast, as if crossing the boundary of space.
Clang...
The powerful Sword Qi struck the Cold Flame Sword body, emitting a resonant clang.
The immense force transmitted from the sword made Xiao Yi’s brow furrow slightly.
But that was all.
"A black Martial Soul combined with the cultivation of a Martial Arts Emperor, it’s somewhat powerful," Xiao Yi scoffed.
Yet, his brow suddenly tightened.
He clearly felt that the attacks from the eight Heavenly Talents and the elders were aimed at Guu Lianxing.
If in the beginning, their hostility towards him, Xiao Yi, stemmed from greed for the Blood Relics,
that hostility vanished after the Blood Relics merged with the giant Blood Pill.
Instinct told Xiao Yi that the current hostility and intent to kill were directed at Guu Lianxing.
Xiao Yi felt perplexed, but he didn’t dwell on it.
In just a few short minutes, the time passed swiftly.
Boom... boom... boom...
Outside the Main Mansion, the other seven Heavenly Talents, seeing Fengg Ji summon his black Martial Soul, also summoned their own Martial Souls. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"I nearly forgot, I just completed my Awakening and haven’t tested its power yet."
"Let’s use this little thief Xiao Yi as a test." Xue Bai sneered.
The eight of them sneered, not noticing that inside the Main Mansion, Xiao Yi’s finger, which had been guiding the Qi-Blood’s power, had already been withdrawn.
Guu Lianxing’s Heavenly Star Bloodline had been fully repaired.
"You eight have only just completed the second Awakening of your Martial Souls, and you’re already about to fall. Why bother?" Xiao Yi sneered coldly.
That sneer, icy to the extreme, also contained a ferocious glint.
...
Third update.
Requesting a day off, sorry about that.
A family member was hospitalized, and I need to be with them.
I can’t get more updates done today, but I’ll make up for it later.
