Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1525: Try Stopping Me Again

"You lost."

The indifferent voice carried no extra weight.

Yet the entire venue had fallen silent.

Thus, the light voice traveled clearly into the ears of all the sword cultivators present.

"Lost... lost..."

A sword cultivator not widely known was the first to break the silence, his body shivering, his tone somewhat trembling.

A mere boy, with just one sword, defeated a sword cultivator famous for many years?

Though this boy had a notorious reputation.

Yet this sword cultivator was Elder Tianjian, known as a ’Peak Sword Cultivator’.

Moreover, Elder Tianjian’s strength had broken through, mastering nine thousand eight hundred paths.

"How... how is it possible..."

The surrounding sword cultivators fell into a moment of doubt.

Elder Yun Yuan and another elder smiled contentedly, "Good boy, we were right after all."

After a while, the surrounding sword cultivators finally reacted from their doubt.

And in the next second, disparaging words erupted.

"Tsk, tsk, so this is the Heavenly Hidden Academy’s Elder Tianjian? Is this all he’s got?"

"Back then he said to send him away to be a servant? Aren’t you afraid of being struck dumb by the wind?"

"Luckily this boy didn’t enter his tutelage, otherwise, wouldn’t that be misleading?"

"It seems that back then, either this Elder Tianjian lacked insight or had ulterior motives, otherwise how could he have expelled such a supreme sword cultivator."

"Rumor has long had it that this boy left on his own, not expelled by the Heavenly Hidden Academy."

"Looks like the rumors were true after all."

Voices and discussions rose endlessly.

Xiao Yi listened, his expression didn’t change much but remained indifferent.

The matters of the past didn’t concern him much.

But starting today, those so-called ’expelled disciples’ talk from Heavenly Hidden Academy will become a joke.

These words, reaching Elder Tianjian’s ears, were enough to make his mind confused, his face turn black.

Earlier he used the name of the Heavenly Hidden Academy to pressure all the sword cultivators present.

Now, he was defeated.

The sword cultivators present didn’t hesitate to express contempt or ridicule.

"Damn it." Elder Tianjian appeared to be mad.

He seemed to disregard the Purple Lightning Divine Sword at his throat, wanting to move forward.

If he stepped forward, the Purple Lightning Divine Sword would instantly pierce through his throat.

Xiao Yi quickly withdrew his sword, "What, want to die?"

"The battle just now was merely a battle to prove my name."

"If you want to die, find another path, it has nothing to do with me."

After saying this, Xiao Yi turned around, returning to Elder Yun Yuan and the other elder’s side.

"Two elders, let’s leave."

Xiao Yi said indifferently.

Unexpectedly, this battle was enough to deter the sword cultivators present who harbored ill intentions.

The breathtaking sword from Elder Tianjian just now reached the level of a supreme expert.

Even if the sword cultivators present still had thoughts in their minds, they needed to weigh their own strength.

However, although the sword cultivators appeared daunted, it didn’t mean some experts present would be intimidated.

Indeed.

"Wait." The Qi Sect Master shouted coldly.

"Little thief, you defeated Elder Tianjian, that’s your business."

"We sword cultivators present didn’t say you could leave."

"After all, that’s just your private matter with the Heavenly Hidden Academy, unrelated to whether you possess the Sword Emperor Origin."

"Indeed." The surrounding sword cultivators echoed, "Little thief, quickly hand over the Sword Emperor Origin."

Xiao Yi frowned, then his eyes turned cold.

In fact, with the battle just now, he had vindicated himself.

Previously, the sword cultivators didn’t call him ’little thief’, but referred to him as ’boy’.

Now, with the mention of Sword Emperor Origin by the Qi Sect Master, the sword cultivators again showed mania, calling him little thief in unison.

Actually, whether Xiao Yi was a little thief or infamous was unimportant.

The sword cultivators present only wanted an excuse.

An excuse to rob Xiao Yi of the Sword Emperor Origin without being scorned.

Once the temptation occupied their hearts completely, the so-called pride of sword cultivators had long been cast aside.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "This battle, it seems, is unavoidable."

He had no fear of battles.

But, the sword cultivators present each had breakthroughs in strength.

If they surrounded him, this would be an exceedingly tough and dangerous battle.

His confidence wasn’t high.

Not to mention, there were quite a few present whose cultivation reached the level of supreme experts.

The battle power they could unleash would far exceed Elder Tianjian’s.

"Boy." The martial artist from Sword Light Mansion bore a murderous look.

"For killing our Young Master, you must pay with your blood."

The surrounding sword cultivators gathered again like wolves and tigers, with individual expressions.

Xiao Yi once again became the target of everyone.

Beside him, Elder Yun Yuan and another elder shook their heads.

Elder Yun Yuan remained silent.

Hui Deacon showed dissatisfaction.

"Boy, if you were swifter in your actions earlier, this wouldn’t have happened now."

Hui Deacon looked coldly at Zhuo Wanzong.

Zhuo Wanzong shivered suddenly.

Being glanced at by a Killing God from the Central Region felt extremely uncomfortable.

Hui Deacon looked back at Xiao Yi, shaking his head.

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly, naturally understanding what Hui Deacon meant.

Hui Deacon wasn’t ordinary; he could easily deduce things based on Zhuo Wanzong’s earlier words.

If Zhuo Wanzong had died on the second level, there wouldn’t be any trouble now.

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly, "At that time, Junior Brother Zifeng was present, I couldn’t leave Junior Brother Zifeng in a predicament."

On the second level, if Junior Brother Zifeng wasn’t there, Zhuo Wanzong would have already died.

However, with Junior Brother Zifeng among them, Xiao Yi just couldn’t bring himself to act.

Junior Brother Zifeng and Zhuo Wanzong were, after all, the ones who directly entered the second level and went through it together.

If Xiao Yi were to kill Zhuo Wanzong, would Junior Brother Zifeng support Zhuo Wanzong?

If he did, would Xiao Yi then have to deal with Junior Brother Zifeng as well?

If not, when Zhuo Wanzong died and Junior Brother Zifeng left the Sword Emperor Stele alone, Junior Brother Zifeng would struggle to clear his name.

Not to mention, the Qi Sect was a local sect in the Sword Domain, having some relation with the Lin Family.

Junior Brother Zifeng was consistently straightforward.

If he were to fall into such a predicament of being pointed at by thousands and unable to argue, perhaps even worse, no matter how he handled it, it would be problematic.

As for Xiao Yi, he was long used to dealing with such troubles, even a chase over ten thousand miles was just routine.

"Let’s leave it." Xiao Yi shook his head, smiled faintly, "A battle it shall be."

The surrounding sword cultivators had already drawn their swords.

The Qi Sect Master laughed coldly, "It seems this little thief Xiao Yi still intends to make a last stand, then don’t blame us."

"Attack."

A cohort of sword cultivators erupted in momentum.

The battle was imminent.

Xiao Yi tightened his grip on the Purple Lightning Divine Sword, unafraid, rather full of fighting spirit.

This time, Elder Yun Yuan and another elder finally stepped forward, shielding Xiao Yi behind them.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

Elder Yun Yuan spoke calmly, "Previously we didn’t act, giving you a chance to prove your name."

"Now, the remaining battle, leave it to us."

Their cold gaze surveyed the surrounding sword cultivators.

"Do you believe only you have broken through in strength?"

Boom...

Suddenly in the sky, clouds gathered, sweeping Sword Intent filled the air.

Bang...

An endless bloody murderous aura suddenly permeated the vast sky.

Elder Yun Yuan looked coldly at the Qi Sect Master, "This time, the three of you can try again if you can stop us from picking up the sword."

The icy words were filled with extreme confidence.

...
