Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1605: Astonishing Speed

"Hiss."

Recalling the eerie shadow that had just collided on his arm, it was actually the Ghost Mantis, making Xiao Yi take a sharp breath.

The Ghost Mantis, infamous as the leader of Ten Thousand Poisons, is feared by all but legendary figures.

Luckily, he reacted quickly and stepped back just in time.

Otherwise, he might have ended up being sliced in half.

Xiao Yi is no ordinary person either.

That combat instinct was honed through countless battles and near-death experiences.

The Ghost Mantis, adept in speed and stealth ambushes.

But to ambush Xiao Yi? That’s merely a joke.

"Kid."

The surrounding poison insects had already dispersed.

The Black Robe appeared out of thin air, a dozen meters away.

The Black Robe gently stroked the head of the Ghost Mantis.

"Surviving under the Ghost Mantis, you are the first among the young."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned.

The Ghost Mantis is clearly a toxic pet of the Poison Cultivator.

The Ghost Mantis, as the leader of Ten Thousand Poisons, even for experienced Poison Cultivators, only a very slim chance exists to cultivate one.

The Ghost Mantis feeds on poison.

Its feeding and cultivation require an astronomical amount of toxic material.

Even if one could cultivate it, the Ghost Mantis remains ferocious, not only difficult to tame but often uncontrollable.

Yet this Ghost Mantis seemed so affectionate to the Poison Cultivator now.

The Poison Cultivator’s techniques and abilities once again shocked Xiao Yi.

"But..." At this moment, the Poison Cultivator’s voice sounded again.

His tone no longer light but chillingly cold.

"For hurting my Ghost Mantis, you are the first."

Xiao Yi laughed coldly, unafraid, "What’s next?"

"What’s next?" The Poison Cultivator squinted his eyes, "Though I find you interesting."

"It doesn’t mean you can hurt my Ghost Mantis."

"I want you to die, a most miserable death."

"Reflective of Ten Thousand Poisons."

The Poison Cultivator’s words fell instantly.

*Swish...*

The Poison Cultivator transformed into countless poison insects, drifting in all directions.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

No wonder the previous poison insects were so bizarre, Primordial Power is one of the Poison Cultivator’s techniques.

*Roar... Roar... Roar...*

Xiao Yi shot out both hands, releasing several four-colored wandering dragons with fierce power.

Looking closely, a Five-Colored Flame Ring quietly formed on his arm.

The Flame Ring spun rapidly. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Under Xiao Yi’s control, the four-colored wandering dragons grew increasingly ferocious.

"Explode."

Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

The four-colored wandering dragons exploded violently.

Compared to the previous explosion that leveled the Demon Beast Forest, this was far more astonishing.

In almost an instant, the intense four-colored flames engulfed the surrounding area up to ten thousand miles.

Under the terrifying flames, countless invading poison insects were immediately burned to ashes.

Once the flames dissipated.

Xiao Yi’s figure disappeared from his original location.

And at the original site, numerous poison insects also vanished, coagulating into the Poison Cultivator’s figure.

"Escape?" The Poison Cultivator, with a cold gaze, fixated on the rapidly departing flame light in the distance.

The flame light was none other than Xiao Yi.

*Whoosh...*

The Poison Cultivator’s figure instantly leaped and chased after.

"Kid, weren’t you very tough-mouthed just now?"

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao is going to flee in a panic now?"

In the distance, upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s expression remained unchanged, sneering coldly instead.

"Escape? Speaking of the great Poison Cultivator, protector of the Evil Lord Mansion, who has been famous for many years, with many remarkable achievements, even escaping safely from a Legendary Expert’s hand."

"If a famed individual like you couldn’t kill a young novice like me, wouldn’t that be a joke?"

"You..." Behind, the Poison Cultivator’s tone stuck.

"Such amazing speed." The Poison Cultivator watched the rapidly leaping flame light, with a flash of amazement in his eyes.

"I’ve heard of your incredible Fire Control Technique, Purple Flame Yi Xiao."

"But it seems your escape ability is even more surprising."

At full strength, the Poison Cultivator could only maintain a distance with Xiao Yi and not catch up completely.

In front, Xiao Yi sneered coldly, not saying a word.

His cultivation and strength is far below that of the Poison Cultivator.

His speed, supposedly not as fast.

The reason he could burst with such astonishing speed, even making the Poison Cultivator unable to catch up, was because of the Beast Feet on his left foot.

As for the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, he only broke through four seals.

The first seal doesn’t need mentioning.

While the second, third, and fourth seals were obtained respectively on his left hand, right hand, and left foot.

Under the cover of Beast Feet, it granted him this current terrifying speed.

Between the dark scale armor of Beast Feet, the hints of red glow seemed like surging flames contained within, ready to erupt and rampage at any moment, clearly teeming with explosive power.

Behind, the Poison Cultivator, not an ordinary being, naturally noticed Xiao Yi in their previous battle had only transformed both hands into beast claws.

And now, even his left foot was transformed into beast feet.

"Demon Beast Martial Soul materialization?" The Poison Cultivator frowned.

"Indeed, your Purple Flame Yi Xiao Martial Soul is an extremely powerful Fire Control type Demon Beast Martial Soul."

"Observing the red glow on your scale armor, who would have thought it contained such explosive power."

With the words falling.

The Poison Cultivator’s figure suddenly transformed into countless poison insects again.

The poison insects, like a black mist, increased their speed significantly.

The flight speed and ambush speed of the poison insects were astonishingly fast.

In this state, it significantly closed the distance with Xiao Yi in an instant.

*Whoosh...*

Xiao Yi was startled but also suddenly burst at amazing speed in an instant.

From afar, this flame light seemed to leap thousands of miles in an instant.

Looking closely, the Flame Ring on his arm became six-colored.

Behind.

This state for the Poison Cultivator clearly couldn’t last long.

The black mist merely leapt a great distance, then gathered again, returning to the Poison Cultivator’s true form, drastically slowing down.

And ahead.

Xiao Yi’s wrist changed from a six-colored ring to a five-colored ring.

His speed sharply decreased as well.

"Damn it, this kid." The Poison Cultivator’s face grew increasingly grim.

When he transformed into poison insects, his speed increased; ahead Xiao Yi’s speed increased as well.

When he reverted to his true form, his speed decreased; ahead Xiao Yi decreased his speed too, returned to normal.

The distance between the two remained at a not-too-close, not-too-far interval.

Giving up the chase was the only option aside from continuing the pursuit.

To give up the chase was absolutely impossible for him.

He could escape from a Legendary Expert, building his fearsome reputation.

But if he let a young novice escape from him today, his fearsome reputation would be nothing but a joke.

Ahead.

Upon hearing the Poison Cultivator’s words, Xiao Yi frowned.

His Beast Hands and Beast Feet are not due to Martial Soul materialization.

Simply put, the Beast Hands and Beast Feet are external objects.

Like Holy Artifacts or other external items.

Infusing oneself with Martial Soul Power; compared to using external items to boost oneself; there’s a clear difference between the two.

With the Poison Cultivator’s vision, he even misjudged, believed wrongly? Thinking those Beast Hands and Feet were Xiao Yi’s Martial Soul materialization?

With a frown, Xiao Yi found these Beast Hands and Feet were always a mystery.

Of course, now wasn’t the time to think about this.

He glanced at the five-colored ring in his hand, pondering.

"Half a day more should be enough." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, a hint of killing intent suddenly gathering.

In half a day’s time, he was confident he could kill the Poison Cultivator.

...

The third update.
