Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1518: You Just Believe What He Says?
Whoosh...
Xiao Yi’s aura erupted instantly.
His figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light, chasing straight after Feng Ji.
Feng Ji’s speed was indeed extremely fast, aided by a mid-grade Holy Artifact of the flying type, he returned to the starting point of the Second Layer in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yi’s eyes turned icy cold.
If he returns to the First Layer, this matter will be spread instantly.
Boom...
The Ice Mountain Fire Sea within Xiao Yi’s body burned instantly.
His figure seemed to break through the confines of space, and with a flash, he stood at the starting point of the Second Layer.
"There’s no way to stop me." Feng Ji fled swiftly, sneering in his heart.
"I have a mid-grade Holy Artifact of the flying type, and you, little thief, could never catch up..."
Before he finished his thoughts, Feng Ji’s eyes suddenly blurred, and his expression changed drastically.
In front of him, Xiao Yi had already blocked his path.
"Little thief, you..." Feng Ji’s face turned grim.
"Humph." A strand of Sword Qi condensed at Xiao Yi’s fingertips.
This Sword Qi was infused with Sword Power.
Even a Martial Arts Great Power couldn’t withstand it, let alone Feng Ji.
Panic gripped Feng Ji’s heart, and in that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
To plead for mercy, or exhaust all means for a chance to escape.
Just then, Feng Ji looked towards Lin Zifeng and Zhuo Wanzong, who were originally cultivating at the starting point.
"Lin Zifeng, Zhuo Wanzong."
Feng Ji suddenly shouted, "The treasures of the Third Layer have been taken by this little thief."
"With the strength of three of us, we can surely kill him..."
In fact, Feng Ji intended to tempt Zhuo Wanzong and Lin Zifeng to act by saying ’to split the treasures equally after killing Xiao Yi’.
However, before he could finish his words, he was cut into pieces by a strand of Sword Qi from Xiao Yi.
At that moment, Xiao Yi’s face turned ugly.
He hadn’t expected that Feng Ji would still seize the opportunity to speak of it.
Though only two remained, one was Zifeng and the other was Zhuo Wanzong.
Xiao Yi wasn’t worried about Zifeng.
But Zhuo Wanzong was clearly not to be trusted as well.
"Hmm?" It was then that Lin Zifeng and Zhuo Wanzong woke from their cultivation simultaneously.
"What? The opportunity in the Third Layer has been taken?"
Lin Zifeng and Zhuo Wanzong both looked towards Xiao Yi.
However, their expressions were different.
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi, is this true?" Lin Zifeng showed surprise.
Xiao Yi descended from mid-air, looked at Lin Zifeng, and smiled, "This Sword Emperor Stele belongs to your Sword Domain."
"I’ve taken the opportunity inside, and you’re still so delighted?"
"Hey, Senior Brother Xiao Yi, you’re mistaken." Lin Zifeng laughed.
"I heard from my father that the Sword Emperor Stele Space has been inaccessible to the Third Layer for countless years, let alone obtaining the opportunity."
"If no one can obtain the so-called opportunity, it’s just there, what use is it?"
"Only when a capable person gains it, does it truly fulfill the meaning of this opportunity."
Xiao Yi chuckled, "Unfortunately, I didn’t obtain it."
Xiao Yi wasn’t distrustful of Zifeng; he just understood the reasoning that an innocent man still attracts crime by owning something valuable.
As he spoke, Xiao Yi glanced at Zhuo Wanzong.
Zhuo Wanzong was staring intently at Xiao Yi.
"Little thief," Zhuo Wanzong narrowed his eyes, "Do you think we’re fools?"
"If you didn’t get the Third Layer opportunity, how could you pursue and kill Feng Ji on the spot?"
"Since you kill to silence him, that proves..."
"You believe him just because he says so?" Xiao Yi sneered.
"If he claims to be your father, do you believe him?"
"You... bastard." Zhuo Wanzong was immediately furious, but upon seeing Feng Ji’s still-warm dismembered body nearby, he promptly contained his anger.
He had already witnessed Xiao Yi’s prowess in the Martial Arts Arena; he wasn’t Xiao Yi’s match.
Xiao Yi shrugged, "Rumors are fearsome, Feng Ji such a scoundrel threatened nonsense, claiming I acquired the opportunity, I could only kill him."
"Sword Domain’s grand event, with sword cultivators gathering from all around, I don’t want any trouble."
Xiao Yi gave a playful smile, staring straight at Zhuo Wanzong, "In my eyes, you’re a scoundrel as well."
"You..." Zhuo Wanzong’s face turned ugly in shock.
"Don’t rush." Xiao Yi sneered, "I believe you aren’t a scoundrel who would resort to false accusations."
"So, I won’t kill you."
"The condition is, you keep your mouth shut."
Zhuo Wanzong’s expression eased as he replied coldly, "Rest assured, such vile acts, I wouldn’t stoop to."
"That’s good." Xiao Yi smiled, "If you dare slander me outside, don’t blame me for being merciless."
"You know my strength very well."
Though Xiao Yi smiled, the threat was palpable.
"Understood." Zhuo Wanzong pouted, looking frustrated.
Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze, looking at Lin Zifeng, "Zifeng, the Sword Emperor Stele should be closing soon, let’s go."
"Okay." Lin Zifeng nodded, smiling broadly, "Cheer up, Senior Brother Xiao Yi."
"It’s normal to not obtain the opportunity this time, given the Sword Emperor Stele’s test is exceedingly difficult."
"After decades when the Sword Emperor Stele opens again, we must try again."
"Sure." Xiao Yi nodded.
Lin Zifeng regarded Xiao Yi oddly.
"What?" Xiao Yi queried in confusion.
Lin Zifeng pouted, "Senior Brother Xiao Yi, you always agree readily to my requests."
"But you always break promises."
"Hahaha." Xiao Yi laughed heartily, "You’re referring to our agreed sword dao duel, right?"
"Alright, when the event completely ends, before leaving Sword Domain, I’ll have a match with you."
"Great." Lin Zifeng instantly showed a joyous expression.
Xiao Yi chuckled, silent.
Actually, killing Zhuo Wanzong wouldn’t be difficult.
But with Zifeng present, he couldn’t act rashly, so he could only deceive.
The two flashed through the barrier, returning to the First Layer.
Behind them, Zhuo Wanzong finished his cultivation and returned to the First Layer.
However...
As soon as Xiao Yi and Lin Zifeng returned to the First Layer, their figures barely stable, strongmen from Sword Light Mansion surrounded them instantly.
Among those who entered the Sword Emperor Stele were many elder and strong figures from Sword Light Mansion.
Now, Sword Light Mansion’s people looked extremely grim, with a murderous air.
Leading them was a sword cultivator elder holding a shattered Jade Pendant.
"Xiao Yi, little thief, did you kill our Young Master of Sword Light Mansion?" The elder in charge glared murderously at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi shrugged, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Still dare to deny." The Sword Light Mansion elder said coldly, "Our Young Master’s Life Soul Jade shattered, proving he is dead."
"In the Second Layer, only Lin Family’s Young Master, Qi Sect’s Heavenly Talent Zhuo Wanzong, and you Xiao Yi little thief and our Young Master."
"And the only one with enmity against our Young Master is you, little thief."
"If not you, then who?"
"Hehe." Xiao Yi scoffed, "Just because your mansion’s Young Master died, it was me who killed him?"
"By this logic, if anyone from Sword Light Mansion dies, you blame me?"
"I’ve never seen Feng Ji."
The Sword Light Mansion sword cultivator said coldly, "In the Second Layer, there were only you few, Xiao Yi little thief can say anything."
"If you don’t believe me, you can ask Zhuo Wanzong the Qi Sect Heavenly Talent." Xiao Yi looked at Zhuo Wanzong, playfully smiling.
Zhuo Wanzong’s expression flickered but he only nodded slightly, "Indeed, I’ve been with Xiao Yi all along."
"We haven’t seen Feng Ji."
...
The third update.
