Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1425: Strongest Soul Master, Heu Youu
Clang...
The crisp sound of the sword resounded throughout the Blood Light Cave Mansion.
The cold and strange white sword light, combined with the overwhelming starlight, was dazzling to the extreme.
Fengg Ji and Lei Ba were blasted back.
Yet, Xiao Yi’s sword did not stop.
A stream of Starlight Sword Qi surged on the sword body and was instantly slashed out.
"Not good." Fengg Ji and Lei Ba’s expressions changed.
Just at this moment.
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
A rapid series of nine sky-breaking sounds came.
The sky-breaking sounds were dense, yet seemed to overlap in an instant.
The sound in the ears was clearly sequentially heard, yet also appeared as if occurring simultaneously.
Boom...
A loud explosion.
The Starlight Sword Qi within Xiao Yi’s sword suddenly scattered.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned and looked toward the direction of the sky-breaking sound.
There, a young man holding a bow chuckled disdainfully.
The bow was shiny throughout, yet emitted a black glow.
The bow was ready in hand, waiting to fire.
The young man’s aura suddenly became incredibly fierce; an unstoppable force soared into the sky.
"If I didn’t see it wrong, that was one of Arrow Star Mansion’s renowned Martial Techniques, Nine Stars in a Row." Xiao Yi said indifferently.
"No wonder you are the famous Xiao Yi, you have some insight." The young man sneered coldly.
The young man was none other than Arrow Star Mansion’s Young Master, Lingg Hong.
"Your sword cannot withstand my arrows." Lingg Hong shouted.
A domineering presence was on his icy face.
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
The bow emitting black light, arrow strings flying.
Using Martial Soul as bow, Primordial Power as arrows, those sky-breaking arrows were incredibly frightening.
Nine arrows emerged in succession but layered heavily, all striking Xiao Yi’s sword in a single breath.
Boom...
Another loud explosion.
The Sword Qi on Xiao Yi’s sword instantly scattered.
The massive impact even forced him to retreat nine steps, eyebrows furrowed.
"Ha, can’t handle my arrows?" Lingg Hong sneered contemptuously, "Or perhaps you, little thief Xiao Yi, have not fully exerted your strength?"
Lingg Hong returned Xiao Yi’s previous disdainful words in full.
In his view, this was undoubtedly a counterattack, mocking Xiao Yi’s previous ’arrogant boast’.
But what he didn’t know was that Xiao Yi indeed had yet to exert his full strength.
However, Xiao Yi had no interest in explaining.
"Arrows excel at long-range attacks, their power is strong and fierce, far surpassing other types of Martial Souls, this is undoubtedly the case." Xiao Yi smiled indifferently.
Indeed, bow-and-arrow type Martial Souls excel at long-range attacks.
This is common knowledge.
Martial Artists with bow-and-arrow type Martial Souls can take the life of enemies from a thousand miles away, like retrieving something from one’s pocket.
Arrow Star Mansion is a powerhouse famous in the Central Region for its archery.
The archery of its Young Master Lingg Hong is imaginable.
Not to mention Lingg Hong has successfully undergone the second Martial Soul Awakening, achieving Black Rank with his Martial Soul.
Also, he has cultivation at the Late Stage Saint Emperor Realm.
This allows his Martial Soul as a bow and Primordial Power as arrows, the power unleashed is unusually astounding.
That Nine Stars in a Row alone can instantly severely injure an ordinary Peak of Saint Emperor Realm.
However, arrows are good at long-range but not at close combat.
Martial Artists with bow-and-arrow type Martial Souls, their close combat ability compared to their own strength decreases by a full level.
Meeting the most adept combat Sword Cultivator, especially in such a less-than-ten-meter distance, daring to be complacent is akin to seeking death.
Clang...
A Cold White Sword Light flashed by.
Xiao Yi’s figure disappeared in an instant.
When he appeared again, he was in front of Lingg Hong, wielding a sword downward.
Martial Artists with bow-and-arrow type Martial Souls, when a Sword Cultivator gets close by, the outcome is almost certain to be a crushing defeat.
Yet, Lingg Hong looked at the approaching Xiao Yi and sneered coldly.
If he were truly alone, as a bow-and-arrow Martial Artist, he surely wouldn’t dare face a Sword Cultivator head-on.
But don’t forget, there are seven pinnacle talents of the same tier beside him.
Boom...
An invisible force suddenly broke through the barriers of space, instantly impacting.
"Illusion Light Break."
A shout.
Xiao Yi’s figure originally slashing toward Lingg Hong was suddenly blasted away.
While being blown away, his mind felt a sharp pain.
"Soul Technique." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.
Indeed, the one who struck just now was the Young Master of Illusion Light Mansion, Heu Youu.
Illusion Light Mansion is renowned for its Soul Power.
Heu Youu’s Martial Soul is a glove surrounded by Illusion Light.
Though nameless, the overwhelming Soul Power on it obviously makes it a powerful item capable of manipulating Soul Power.
The strength of soul masters in controlling Soul Power and performing soul skills generally correlates with Martial Souls.
Soul Master is the only profession that can fully exploit Martial Soul Power.
To begin with, the Martial Soul which amplifies Soul Power effect, and reaching Black Rank, using soul master’s technique to maximize Martial Soul, thus using Martial Soul to perform soul master’s technique...
All these seem tailor-made for Heu Youu.
Also, all this makes Heu Youu’s strength exceedingly terrifying.
Heu Youu’s original ranking was not high.
But after the second Martial Soul Awakening, his strength definitely ranks first among the Eight Mansion’s Talents.
Even among the Eighteen Heavenly Talents, he might vie for the title of first place.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
The invisible Soul Power Shock forced Xiao Yi to retreat ten steps, with a severe headache and his face turned pale.
"Impressive, as expected of Heu Youu." The nearby elders at Peak of Saint Emperor Realm showed surprise.
"Judging by this alone, Young Master Heu Youu may very well have a place among the renowned soul masters in the Central Region."
"Humph." Heu Youu sneered proudly.
If the second awakening for the other seven talents was a qualitative leap.
Then for him, Heu Youu as a soul master, it was a leap within a leap.
"Xiao Yi, can’t even withstand one of my moves, what qualifications do you have to be arrogant?" Heu Youu sneered contemptuously.
"Honestly, I’ve already lost interest in testing moves against you."
"This battle should thus conclude here."
The so-called end was merely the murderous intent on Heu Youu’s face lighting up.
"Strike."
Heu Youu softly shouted.
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
The eight instantly joined forces; eight figures soon encircled Xiao Yi.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Eight overwhelming auras as if Heaven and Earth’s Power fully fell upon Xiao Yi.
"Under Black Martial Souls, everything submits." Lei Ba sneered coldly.
"Moreover, now eight Black Martial Souls simultaneously suppress, even the Martial Arts Great Power here couldn’t muster any strength."
"Despite your strength, Xiao Yi, now you’re but as weak as an ant."
Fengg Ji coldly said, "Now, do you realize the disparity between you and the eight of us?"
"For us eight to kill you would be like killing a chicken."
In the distance, within the Main Mansion, Gongsun Huowu’s expression changed drastically, "Despicable, eight of you teaming up against Xiao Yi, what kind of ability is that?"
"Fight him one-on-one if you have the skill."
"Humph." Fengg Ji’s face grew colder hearing this, "Just kill that little thief."
"Alright." The seven responded in unison.
"Wild Thunder Essence."
"Nine Stars in a Row."
"Illusion Light Break."
"Floating Light Shadow."
"Blood Dance in the Changkong..."
The eight simultaneously struck.
The wild force of each mansion’s renowned technique instantly engulfed Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi." From within the Main Mansion, Gongsun Huowu shouted, face turned pale.
"Is he dead now?" The eight sneered.
"Hmm?" The eight’s expressions suddenly changed.
At the center of the eight’s attack, strands of Starlight Power suddenly erupted.
"How is it possible, capable of wielding starlight?"
"He was clearly suppressed by the eight of us..." The eight’s expressions drastically changed.
"Suppressed? Ha." Xiao Yi sneered disdainfully, "Black Martial Soul is but a joke."
"Star Illusion Sword Formation, grind."
Unknowingly, the surroundings were already wrapped by streams of Starlight Sword Qi.
Sword Qi, self-formed Sword Array.
Within the Sword Array, Sword Qi rampaged.
"Not good, Young Master!" A group of elders exclaimed in shock.
"Little thief, dare you?"
...
Second update.
