Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1651: He Won’t Get the Chance Anymore

Chapter 1651: Chapter 1651: He Won’t Get the Chance Anymore

Xiao Yi watched Jiu Yan and Tang Yin swiftly fly away, not following them.

He knew very well that he couldn’t catch up with Poison Robe.

In the ruins, he was the only one left.

His gaze fell on the Martial Soul Power left behind by the deaths of the hundred thousand evil cultivators, streaming through the air.

Although the corpses of those evil cultivators had been burned to nothingness,

the higher a martial artist’s cultivation, the longer their martial soul power remains in the world after death.

With the strength and cultivation of these evil cultivators, it wouldn’t dissipate for several days.

This is why he didn’t pay much attention initially and instead went to the seclusion room to stabilize his injuries.

Returning now, the Martial Soul Power of the hundred thousand evil cultivators was still present.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

Xiao Yi waved his hand, creating several barriers to seal off the surroundings.

Then, the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes emerged.

In the air, invisible ripples suddenly raged.

The Martial Soul Power floating in the air was difficult to see with the naked eye, but with the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes, it had nowhere to hide.

As the invisible ripples thrived, strands of Martial Soul Power vanished into thin air.

Through introspection, Xiao Yi saw the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul inside him, mouth wide open, swallowing the Martial Soul Power.

In just over ten minutes, the Martial Soul Power of the hundred thousand evil cultivators had been completely absorbed.

At this point, the purple light of the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul inside him had reached its peak intensity.

Whoosh...

After dispersing the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes, Xiao Yi waved his hand and removed the surrounding barriers and prohibitions.

Then, he continued introspection.

Upon comparison, the deep purple light of the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul inside him was now almost equal to that of the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Though the hundred thousand evil cultivators were numerous, apart from Guardian Hu and a few others with the Purple Martial Soul, the majority had Blue Peak Martial Souls.

A portion also was at the Purple Early Stage level.

With everything absorbed now, the effects were roughly as Xiao Yi had expected.

"It’s about time; the purple light of the Fire Control Beast should be able to match the Ice Phoenix Sword," Xiao Yi pondered thoughtfully.

In a few days, after absorbing more Martial Soul Power, the purple level of the Fire Control Beast should reach the standard of the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Xiao Yi had a feeling that when that time came, just one opportunity would allow his Fire Control Beast Martial Soul to directly break through.

An hour later.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

In the distance, two figures swiftly controlled the air as they returned.

It was Jiu Yan and Tang Yin.

"Phew." Seeing Xiao Yi still in place, the two let out a sigh of relief.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

The two landed back on the ground, their faces full of anger.

"Damn it, couldn’t catch up with that Poison Robe guy."

"It was never possible to catch up," Xiao Yi shook his head.

Tang Yin frowned, "Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, why didn’t you follow just now?"

"You’ve had several fierce battles with Poison Robe; with your understanding of him, the three of us combined might not be unable to catch up with him."

Xiao Yi shook his head again, looking at Jiu Yan, "If I’m not mistaken, Lord Jiu Yan, your aura is slightly unstable. You must have just recently broken through to Legend."

Jiu Yan nodded.

Xiao Yi continued, "Poison Robe can escape from veterans of legendary status."

"If I may speak frankly, Lord Jiu Yan, as someone who just recently broke through to Legend, you simply can’t do anything to him."

"So, chasing him further is pointless."

"And anyway," Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, "Poison Robe has repeatedly been defeated and escaped. Since the last battle, I no longer consider him worth noticing, so there’s no point chasing."

The icy, proud, yet supremely confident tone startled Jiu Yan and Tang Yin.

But amidst their surprise, a hint of realization flashed across their faces, feeling that Xiao Yi’s words were natural.

Jiu Yan sighed, "Even so, letting Poison Robe escape again is truly frustrating."

"Such a fiend will one day overturn the regions."

"He won’t." Xiao Yi shook his head, his tone assured.

"Why?" Jiu Yan and Tang Yin showed a doubtful expression.

Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, "Because he was once my opponent."

"Hmm?" Jiu Yan and Tang Yin were even more puzzled.

Xiao Yi chuckled, "Unless I’m blind and chose the wrong opponent."

"Otherwise, until he has enough power and believes he can kill me, he won’t appear again."

"He’ll go into seclusion?" Jiu Yan and Tang Yin reacted instantly, their expressions changing dramatically.

"Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, are you aware that you’re likely to face a terrifying and perhaps dreadful adversary in the future?"

"When he reappears, you’ll be facing a severe crisis, Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master..."

"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled indifferently, his eyes full of confidence.

"He won’t have that chance."

...

Wind Shattering Territory, central range, within the Main Hall.

Inside the study.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master frowned at Chengfeng Hall Master.

Chengfeng Hall Master looked bitter, remaining silent.

On the side, Hengtian Palace Master sneered, "Chengfeng, you certainly are something."

"In several months, all we’ve asked is for you to find a kid, yet there’s still no clue."

"Tsk tsk, you still manage intelligence for all the Main Halls of the Wind Shattering Hall as a Hall Master."

Chengfeng Hall Master’s face twitched, glaring at Hengtian Palace Master.

"Hall Master." Chengfeng Hall Master turned to the Master of the Main Hall, bowing, "Xiao Yi indeed is capable."

"With our Main Hall’s intelligence abilities, plus coordination from the other Ten Main Halls, we still couldn’t find a single trace of that kid."

The Wind Shattering Palace Master frowned, "That kid is indeed impressive."

"But to vanish without a trace every time he disappears, what is this about?"

"Such a big person can’t just disappear without a trace."

On the side, the Asura Hall Master sat upright, smiling, eyes full of admiration.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master glanced over, looking angry, "Asura, you’re still looking like that?"

"You seem happy that Xiao Yi is nowhere to be found?"

"Hmph." The Wind Shattering Palace Master unconsciously tapped the table, coldly snorting.

"This kid should know the limits of messing around."

"To disappear directly, leaving no news for several months, really doesn’t let anyone rest easy."

"Hehe." The Asura Hall Master chuckled faintly, "Always makes people worried, yet is always safe and sound, never causing real worry. Isn’t that Xiao Yi’s usual style?"

"When he decides to show up, he will show up."

"Always solitary, loving to handle everything alone, never needing our help, yet always astonishing the Central Region."

"Isn’t this precisely the reason we both regard him so highly?"

"Alas." The Wind Shattering Palace Master sighed, "Even so, this kid..."

"Hall Master." Suddenly, Chengfeng Hall Master interrupted.

"Truthfully, we haven’t found information about Xiao Yi over these months." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"But... we did find intelligence on someone else."

"Who?" asked the Wind Shattering Palace Master.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master took out a piece of intelligence, speaking solemnly, "Purple Flame, Yi Xiao."
