Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Xiao Yi's face was tinged with amusement as he looked at Wu Yu, whose face was overcast with gloom, "What was that about consequences you just mentioned?"

Silence enveloped the surroundings.

All eyes inevitably fell upon Zhang Tianyi, who lay dead at Xiao Yi's feet.

This was the second-highest master of the Teng Long List from Tianlan Kingdom!

A formidable power from the Eighth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm.

And he was dead?

Dead by the hand of Xiao Yi, who just half a month ago, was only at the Peak of the Shentong Realm?

In his shock, Wu Yu felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been furiously slapped dozens of times.

Xiao Yi had actually slain Zhang Tianyi right in front of him.

If he couldn't kill Xiao Yi, what face would he have left?

A raging fury ignited within him; Wu Yu's eyes turned frosty to the extreme, his teeth clenched, "Xiao Yi, I will tear you to pieces!"

Boom!

Wu Yu struck the air with a palm from above.

Such was the might of one at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak, a palm so powerful it seemed to cause the sun and moon to lose their luster, dimming their light.

Qi unrivaled in might, coalesced into a hand as large as a small mountain; this palm, though condensed from Qi, was so lifelike, one could even discern the lines on its palm.

A gray hand crushed the air downwards, its terrifying might causing the ground to buzz, and pebbles to shatter explosively.

Xiao Yi's body quivered, surrounded by a nimbus of blood light, his longsword in motion, "Solitary Nine Swords, the third move!"

There were nine moves in total within "Solitary Nine Swords."

Xiao Yi's sword pierced through the sky, and from the Fire Qilin Sword burst a beam of Sword Qi, winding around a layer of red flames, exploding with a bang as it cleaved the giant gray hand in two.

Bang!

The Sword Qi fractured, and the hand was split into halves.

As Xiao Yi landed on the ground, the valley violently shook with a rumble, and the ground cracked open, spread with fierce, web-like fissures.

Dust swirled, and rocks flew through the air.

Xiao Yi leaped up, his toes landing upon a flying rock, he lightly tapped it, his figure soaring once more, "Solitary Nine Swords, the fifth move!"

Every move of "Solitary Nine Swords" flowed with the heart.

The swordsmanship was ingenious and difficult to defend against.

His figure constantly shifted positions in mid-air, left, right, high, and low, dazzling to the eye and making it impossible to grasp his intentions.

Suddenly...

Clang!

A dazzling streak of silver ripped through the air, with a swish, appearing like a silver rainbow strung across the heaven and earth, slicing towards Wu Yu.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Wu Yu had not anticipated that Xiao Yi could break his offensive; the subsequent sword technique was even more cunning.

He casually conjured several Qi shields to block in front of him.

But Xiao Yi's sword, almost as if sentient, bypassed the Qi shields and, under Wu Yu's astonished gaze, thudded into his shoulder.

A splash of blood-red sprayed out, hot blood spattering across his left cheek.

Hisss!

Everyone was stunned, "I must be seeing things..."

"Xiao Yi has actually injured Wu Yu?"

"This man... must not be left alive..."

Within the crowd, Zhou Yuan wore a dark expression, his gaze on Xiao Yi shifting from initial scorn to grave seriousness.

A few months ago...

When Xiao Yi caused a major disturbance in the Martial Arts Institute and Zhou Yuan personally pursued him, seeking to put him to death, Xiao Yi had vowed to flatten the Royal Martial Arts Academy within a year to take his life.

At that time, Zhou Yuan considered it nothing but a joke.

But now...

In just a few months, Xiao Yi had acquired the strength to slay a power from the Eighth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm and was even able to wound Wu Yu, someone at the Peak of the Golden Elixir Realm.

Even considering the possibility that Wu Yu had been careless and underestimated his opponent, one could not deny Xiao Yi's strength!

And it had been mere months!

"If it's a year later?"

"What about three years later?"

Harboring the same thoughts were Jin Sheng, Zhuang Bifan, and Master Kong Ming from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Xiao Yi and them had unresolvable deep hatred!

"Wu, the Great General, I am here to assist you!" Zhuang Bifan let out a cold snort; his longsword, sheathed at his back, was drawn and held in each hand, with another clenched between his teeth.

The strongest sword technique of Mingjian Manor—Triple Sword Style!

A cold gleam flashed in Jin Sheng's eyes; his grandson was slain by Xiao Yi, and even his son was left half-dead by Xiao Yi's hand. Now that he had the chance, he certainly would not hold back.

Swish!

Without a word, Jin Sheng also charged toward Xiao Yi.

Both were of the Eighth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm. Together with Wu Yu, the two attacked Xiao Yi. This outraged Gu Junhe, who was originally just observing the battle, "Damn it, you shameless wretches, stop this instant!"

He had seen Wu Yu unable to threaten Xiao Yi for the moment and had been on standby, but he hadn't expected Zhuang Bifan and Jin Sheng to be so shameless.

One at the Golden Elixir Peak, and two at the Eighth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm.

Three elders from the older generation were ganging up on Xiao Yi.

Is this something people would do?

However...

No sooner had Gu Junhe made his move, he was stopped by Zhou Yuan and Master Kong Ming working together. Gu Junhe glared furiously, "Zhou Yuan, Kong Ming, you bald donkey, get out of my way!"

"Xiao Yi killed Zhang Tianyi, he must die! If the Tianlan Kingdom uses this as a pretext to start a war, causing untold suffering, the humble monk cannot let you save him!" said Master Kong Ming with an air of moral superiority and a face of compassion.

Zhou Yuan spoke indifferently, "Sacrificing one for the avoidance of war between two nations is worth it!"

"Bullshit!"

Gu Junhe cursed loudly.

He tried to break through their combined attack several times, but Zhou Yuan's strength was no less than his, and he was joined by Master Kong Ming, who was at the Tenth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm.

He simply couldn't break through their blockade.

Gu Junhe's eyes were blood-reddened. He could only look over them in fury at Xiao Yi, who was being overwhelmed by Wu Yu and the other two, falling back step by step and he roared angrily, "Zhou Yuan, you thieving baldy... If anything happens to Xiao Yi, I'll never let you two off the hook!"

"Amitabha, if he can sacrifice himself to relieve the suffering of all living beings, Xiao Yi's death would indeed be worthwhile!" Master Kong Ming put his palms together.

Zhou Yuan's lips curled up into a mocking, cold smile. "Gu Junhe, the righteous gain help while the unrighteous find little support. You and the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, along with Xiao Yi, have chosen to act perversely and against the tide. It is destined that you will only face defeat!"

Meanwhile...

Faced with the attack of three great masters, Xiao Yi was retreating step by step, his body covered in wounds.

Zhuang Bifan, with a sword in each hand, his Sword Qi stern, stated, "Xiao Yi, from the moment you destroyed my Sword Burial Ground, you should have foreseen this day's outcome!"

Jin Sheng's punches whipped up fierce winds, mighty and powerful, driving Xiao Yi into a corner punch after punch, "Join my grandson in death!"

Wu Yu's expression was impassive, "Even the people of your own Tianqing Kingdom are so eager to kill you; you truly deserve your fate!"

"I am dying, your motherf—"

Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his right hand gripping tightly onto the sword hilt, his fierce eyes scanning the three men, teeth clenched, "You want my life? You three old dogs are not worthy!"

Boom!

The Blood Explosion Skill, the fifth level.

The sixth level.

The seventh level...

Xiao Yi's complexion was pale as snow, but upon unleashing the seventh level of the Blood Explosion Skill, his strength had increased seventyfold.

A blood-red storm rose from beneath his feet.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground beneath Xiao Yi exploded, and rocks burst upward in the crimson storm, crushed to dust by Sword Qi before him.

His eyes were a blood-red glare, the Fire Qilin Sword in his hand trembling with an ascending Sword Intent.

What of the Golden Elixir Peak?

What of the three great figures?

The divine general who commanded the heavens was invincible in battle and defeated all in war!

His blood-colored gaze swept over the three men.

Xiao Yi's boundless fighting spirit erupted like a volcano, his roar thundering into the skies, "Kill!!!!"
