Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 507 - I offer you a big-headed ghost!

"Great Qian, Xiao Yi!"

Dressed in black, Xiao Yi held the silver arrow in his hand and spoke without expression.

His gaze swept over the scene before him…

The ground was littered with bodies and blood; one could imagine just how tragic the battle had been.

The bodies of a hundred thousand soldiers were covered with numerous bloodstains.

Tens of thousands of refugees each wore a face of despair, as silent as death itself.

What should have been their sanctuary, Xingmen City, was now ablaze, cutting off their path of return.

Behind them were the cavalry of the Sword Dynasty, as well as the terrifying and ruthless army of God Devouring Ants.

Even without having witnessed the scene himself, Xiao Yi could imagine how desperate Liu Fuhai and the others must have felt. At the same time, a furious flame was burning within his heart, like a volcano long suppressed, ready to erupt at any moment.

Fury!

Extreme fury!

Uncontainable fury!

The Xingmen City, guarded by a mighty force of two hundred thousand, was brought to this state by just fifty thousand men, with over fifty thousand dead or injured. Those fresh, living souls, some even infants still in swaddling clothes.

They should have been living happily, enjoying the joy of family.

But now…

Everything was ruined!

"Xiao Yi? Are you the head of the Great Qian Dynasty's Xiaoshanhe Institute?"

Wanyan Lang was taken aback.

Xiao Yi's name was already well-known throughout the Great Qian Dynasty, and naturally, the powerhouses of the Sword Dynasty knew of him as well. A look of rightful confidence appeared on his face, "It is said that the Great Qian Dynasty has produced a genius comparable to Xiao Tianjiao. Now it seems that he is nothing special, merely at the third level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm. Today, it won't be just you; even if Xiao Tianjiao himself were here, there would only be one path left: death."

"Xiao Yi, you must go…"

The voice of Liu Fuhai came from behind him, his face solemn, "The God Devouring Ant army is impossible to resist. I will hold them off for you. You must go…"

"Go?"

Xiao Yi turned to look at him, speaking indifferently, "Facing enemies far outnumbering yourself, you did not flee; facing betrayal from your own people, you did not flee; facing one hundred thousand civilians, you did not flee. Why should I flee? Besides..."

He pointed at Wanyan Lang and the others in front of him and scoffed, "They're not strong enough to make me leave!"

"But…"

Liu Fuhai's head buzzed, wanting to warn Xiao Yi of the terror of the God Devouring Ants.

However, Xiao Yi said, "Leave the God Devouring Ants to me. The rest are yours to handle! Together, you and I will obliterate them, how about that?"

Liu Fuhai didn't know how to respond.

Wanyan Lang on the side burst into laughter, "Are you dreaming? You think you alone can..."

"Annoying!"

Xiao Yi showed a look of impatience and with a wave of his hand, a sword Qi shot out.

Whoosh!

The silver sword light, condensed to the extreme in his hands, erupted forth.

With a whoosh, a streak of silver light flashed across the air.

"Insignificant crea..."

Wanyan Lang wore an expression of disdain, convinced that Xiao Yi, a mere third-level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, was no match for him. He reached out to grab the sword Qi casually. However, the sword Qi pierced through his palm and entered his throat with a puff.

His final word was stuck in his throat.

His pupils slowly dilated.

With a hint of disbelief and confusion.

Thump!

Wanyan Lang fell off the back of the Sky Wolf, blood spurting from his throat, drenching his entire body.

Xiao Yi's icy gaze fell upon Liu Fuhai and the soldiers and civilians behind him as he raised his arm and shouted, "Follow me to slay the enemy!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The enemy's commanding officer was beheaded by a single flick of Xiao Yi's finger, greatly boosting the morale of his troops.

The suppressed desire to kill erupted completely in this moment!

Liu Fuhai led his people, charging toward the fifty-thousand-strong cavalry army.

Xiao Yi, alone and armed with the Falling Dust Sword, instantly plunged into the midst of the God Devouring Ants' army.

Rustle rustle rustle!

These God Devouring Ants, merely half-formed creatures freshly hatched, were as good as non-existent before Xiao Yi; as his sword swept through them, it was like a gust of autumn wind scattering leaves, continuously slaying the ants.

To Xiao Yi, who possessed the Sixth Transformation Wind and Thunder Holy Body, the poison of the God Devouring Ants was ineffectual.

Wherever he went,

The God Devouring Ants were cleaved in half by his Sword Qi, dying on the spot.

The fifty-thousand cavalry was also in constant retreat under Liu Fuhai and others' assault, suffering heavy casualties. From Xiao Yi's arrival to their complete suppression, it all happened in the span of a few dozen breaths.

Yang Guang stood atop the city walls, dumbfounded, "How, how, how is this possible? How can there be such a terrifying being in this world?"

Amidst his shock,

Yang Guang suddenly showed an expression of wild joy, clenching his fists and laughing heartily, "Fantastic! Today at Xingmen City we repulsed the fifty-thousand-strong cavalry army of the Sword Dynasty, and even drove back tens of thousands of God Devouring Ants. This is a tremendous merit. After the battle ends, I will have that Xiao Yi present Wanyan Lang's corpse to me, and then the credit will be mine. Perhaps, I might even gain my father emperor's favor and return to the capital..."

Yang Guang's eyes suddenly blazed with eagerness.

Of course...

Xiao Yi was completely unaware of all this.

With every slash of his sword,

sprawling Sword Qi spread a hundred meters and wherever it passed, God Devouring Ants perished en masse.

The man transformed into a veritable God Devouring Ant reaper.

Tens of thousands of God Devouring Ants were like mere paper before him, utterly incapable of mustering any fighting force. With the cavalry lacking a leader and Liu Fuhai and his forces counterattacking, of the fifty-thousand, only a scarce few dozen fled in panic.

In just a short while,

not a single warrior of the Sword Dynasty remained outside Xingmen City, nor was there a single living God Devouring Ant.

At this moment...

The way everyone looked at Xiao Yi was filled with admiration and fervor, as if they were gazing upon a god high above.

"Thank you, Xiao, for saving our lives!" Liu Fuhai stepped forward, about to kneel.

Xiao Yi raised his hand to stop him, his voice grave, "General Liu guards Xingmen City, sworn to protect the people. How could you offer such a grand gesture to me?" He paused and asked with a frown, "General Liu, with two hundred thousand troops in Xingmen City, you should not have been pushed to this by a mere fifty thousand. What exactly happened?"

Liu Fuhai's face changed slightly, and though his mouth opened, he did not know where to begin.

Liu Yi, standing beside him, was filled with indignant fury and without hesitation said, "All this is thanks to Yang Guang..."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi, taken aback, frowned at Liu Yi.

With red eyes, Liu Yi went on to tell Xiao Yi everything that had occurred. Clenching his fists, he said fiercely, "...If it weren't for that idiot constantly interfering, we would have crushed those fifty thousand long ago and not waited for those God Devouring Ants to come attacking..."

"How dare you, Liu Yi! You dare chew your tongue behind my back and fabricate such lies about this prince. Do you wish for death?"

With a darkened face, Yang Guang emerged from within the city, flanked by enchanting women on both sides, glaring at Liu Yi. Then rubbing his hands and smiling at Xiao Yi, he said, "So you are Xiao Yi? I've heard about you long ago, and seeing you today, your reputation is well deserved! Hahaha, this prince admires you and I'll offer you a chance, just present me the head of Wanyan Lang, and I can assure you a future of wealth and splendor..."

While speaking,

Yang Guang looked expectantly at Xiao Yi.

However...

Xiao Yi simply gave him a cold look and said, "Present to you my ass!"
