Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1426: Seven-Star Mansion Great Formation
"Strangle."
A cold note spilled out from Xiao Yi’s mouth.
Within the Star Illusion Sword Array, sword Qi raged uncontrollably.
The martial techniques initially unleashed by Heu Youu and the other eight were instantly shredded to pieces under the countless sword Qi attacks.
Xiao Yi’s icy expression was filled with killing intent, as well as indifference.
These eight people, having originally intended to kill him, must now face the consequence of being killed in return.
Such indifference demonstrated that he held no regard for the life or death of these eight individuals.
"You little thief, do you dare?"
The elders roared instantly.
Even the elder who had been injured earlier flashed and rushed into the sword array.
They were well-known warriors with sharp insights, immediately understanding Xiao Yi’s intentions and seeing his indifferent expression.
They knew very well just how terrifying the strength that Xiao Yi had demonstrated so far truly was.
This raging sword Qi array, amidst the starlight rampage, was something their eight young masters absolutely couldn’t withstand.
Indeed.
The elders stormed into the sword array like madmen.
But, suddenly...
The first elder, at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, was instantly turned into mush within a sea of sword Qi.
Thirty elders advanced one after another.
After sacrificing twenty people, finally, ten reached the eight young masters.
All of this transpired within mere seconds.
"What a terrifying sword array." The eight, including Heu Youu, looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief.
"Protect." The ten elders shouted continuously, erupting with a surge of power.
Ultimately, their original task was to safeguard these eight young masters during the second awakening of their martial souls in the Blood Light Cave Mansion.
Given their status and the significance of the martial soul’s second awakening, naturally, these elders possessed stronger protective measures.
Though their strength might not surpass Xiao Yi’s, their protective trump card was sufficient.
Clang... clang... clang...
Countless starlight sword Qi continued to rage.
Yet, when striking the eight, including Heu Youu, all were deflected.
Surrounding the ten elders and the eight, a great formation had already been established.
Seeing the formation deflect the sword Qi, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The elder of the Seven Star Mansion coldly snorted, "Xiao Yi, regardless of your notorious name, you can’t break the great formation of my Seven Star Mansion."
Indeed, this formation was set by the elder of the Seven Star Mansion.
The Seven Star Mansion was renowned for its formations.
The martial artists within were all famed array masters, let alone the elder who was currently setting up the formation.
In the elder’s hand, he held a Holy Artifact, which was at least a mid-grade.
With a mid-grade Holy Artifact enhancing the formation, no wonder it could block Xiao Yi’s Star Illusion Sword Array.
"Is this really called a great formation?" Xiao Yi looked at everyone within the formation and sneered.
"Hahahahaha." The elder of the Seven Star Mansion laughed triumphantly.
"The formation I’ve set ranks among the top three in our Seven Star Mansion, with our mid-grade Holy Artifact formation plus several elders channeling primordial power."
"Even if a Martial Arts Great Power came, they’d never break it."
"Old man, though I don’t know why you can still burst with strength under the suppression of the black martial soul of the eight young masters."
"But I’m sure you don’t have the power of a Martial Arts Great Power."
"Oh? Is that so?" Xiao Yi’s mouth stretched into a cruel grin.
"I only need one sword." Xiao Yi’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
Boom...
The Cold Flame Sword gathered the Star Illusion River instantly.
Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, slicing with one sword.
With one sword, thirty swords arrived.
The sword body crashed onto the formation.
Boom... boom... boom... boom... boom...
The continuous booming sound even shook the Cave Mansion, which had remained steadfast until then.
As for the formation, it shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Not good, this kid’s power is terrifying." The elder of the Seven Star Mansion’s face changed drastically.
"Quickly block this starlight."
The elders and eight young masters stiffened, immediately reaching out.
No need for the Seven Star Mansion elder’s reminder; they instantly sensed the terror beneath this sword.
"Nine Stars in a Row."
"Illusion Moon." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Thunder Dragon Eight Leaps."
"Blood Dance Sunset."
"..."
The eight Heavenly Talents erupted their power instantaneously, even summoning their strongest martial techniques.
Arrow Star, soul power, thunder light, blood light... Instantly, bursts of primordial power surged vigorously.
However, beneath the terrifying sword...
Arrow Star shattered, soul power crumbled, thunder light extinguished, blood light dissolved tracelessly...
With the combined strength of these eight plus the full force of ten elders, they couldn’t even withstand the sword for a fraction of a second.
"Damn it."
The ten elders roared again.
And from their hands, they summoned a plethora of imposing Holy Artifacts.
In just moments, ten mid-grade Holy Artifacts gathered in the formation.
The originally almost collapsing formation became extraordinarily solidified instantly.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.
Apparently, these ten mid-grade Holy Artifacts were the elders’ strongest trump card for protecting the eight including Heu Youu.
Ultimately, the formation blocked the sword.
However, before this, most of the sword’s power had already landed.
The ten elders and eight, including Heu Youu, spat a mouthful of blood, and were heavily thrown to the ground.
The eighteen people, pallid extreme facial expressions.
The ten elders were somewhat manageable, though heavily injured, recovery would take time.
But for these heavenly talents, having just experienced their second martial soul awakening and cultivation surged yet sustained heavy injuries.
The consequence could at best be a retreat of cultivation.
If severely, damaged qualification, halt completely may result.
Xiao Yi glanced at the eighteen inside the formation, then sheathed his sword.
He had said he would wield only one sword.
And simultaneously, even if he wielded another sword, he couldn’t break this great formation.
The eighteen’s cultivation, all were at least Late Stage Saint Emperor Realm, with the enhancement of ten mid-grade Holy Artifacts.
This great formation had doubtlessly become an impenetrable shell.
Breaking it had become exceedingly difficult.
"Sheathed the sword?" Xue Bai squinted his eyes, "Xiao Yi, seems you have a bit of self-awareness."
"Do you think I can’t break your formation?" Xiao Yi shot a cold glance at Xue Bai.
He couldn’t break this shell with one sword; what about ten swords, twenty swords, or a hundred swords?
Xue Bai held Xiao Yi’s indifferent gaze for a split second, then withdrew his sight.
Yet, he still proudly spoke.
"Humph, still dare to be arrogant." Xue Bai snorted coldly, "This is Blood Light Mansion’s territory; my father will be here shortly."
"No matter how strong you are, before my father, would you not escape like a defeated dog?"
"Hmph." Xiao Yi sneered disdainfully.
Not wielding another sword, one reason was this exact point.
In terms of distance from Blood Light Mansion, at most numerous territories apart.
For ordinary martial artists, traveling would be far; but a powerhouse of Blood Light Mansion Master’s caliber, beyond even Martial Arts Great Power, wouldn’t find it difficult to come.
On Xue Bai, there certainly was a means to immediately notify the Blood Light Mansion Master.
Thus, unless Xiao Yi could break this formation in a brief period.
Otherwise, wielding another sword would be pointless.
Perhaps, from this perspective, claiming the Blood Light Cave Mansion belonged to Blood Light Mansion seemed rational.
For Blood Light Mansion is undoubtedly the mightiest nearby force.
Unless one could surpass Blood Light Mansion, elsewise, Blood Light Mansion powerhouses could quickly come, utterly dominating the Cave Mansion.
Granted, only dominate.
"Hmph." From the Main Mansion, Gongsun Huowu sneered disdainfully, "Xue Bai, now, who hides in a formation, gravely wounded, chanting threats?"
"And who, with numerical advantage, yet couldn’t withstand even a single sword?"
"Which ones deceive themselves?"
"Who is the defeated dog, it seems evidently clear."
"You..." Xue Bai’s face became exceedingly ugly.
...
Third update.
Today’s updates, concluded.
