Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 180 - 179: Blood Slaughter Sword Appears

The power of a Mysterious Profundity Realm Warrior comes from their Qi Spring.

Their strength stems from the incessant flow of True Qi from their Qi Spring and is also due to the fact that they possess far more True Qi than during the Innate Realm.

Xiao Yi had now reached the Seventh Layer of the Mysterious Profundity Realm.

The True Qi within his Qi Spring had reached more than two thousand zhang.

Therefore, his strength in cultivation alone had already surpassed the Half-step Breaking Profound.

Even without using Purple Flame or physical strength, he could easily defeat Guu Changkong.

The successive confrontations just now and even Guu Changkong’s use of Martial Technique, were still defeated by Xiao Yi. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

This was the best proof.

At this moment, Guu Changkong, listening to Xiao Yi’s indifferent words, suddenly felt belittled.

"Xiao Yi, don’t get too cocky," Guu Changkong said as he stood up and wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Today, you are destined not to win against me."

At the same time, the tidal laughter from below the Martial Arts Arena had already turned into stunned silence.

"Sword Hall Chief Guu Changkong was actually sent flying and spitting blood by Xiao Yi in a direct confrontation."

"Could it be that this Outer Disciple really made it to the final round by his true strength?"

The disciples discussed among themselves.

Guu Changfeng in the crowd, had his face turning the color of liver.

"Shut up," Guu Changfeng commanded coldly, "Do you think that little waste can beat my brother?"

On the Martial Arts Arena, Guu Changkong, hearing the chatter below, had his expression turn ugly.

It was a naked challenge to his honor.

"Xiao Yi, you’re a dead man," the ruthless intent in Guu Changkong surged in his heart.

"Seven Evil Slash," Guu Changkong shouted, and a True Qi Vortex of one hundred and fifty zhang appeared in midair.

"To release one hundred and fifty zhang of True Qi in one go, Guu Changkong’s Qi Spring must be at least three hundred zhang large."

"Seven Evil Slash is a High-level Earth Rank Martial Technique, one of the strongest techniques of the Sword Sect."

"A few months ago, Ye Ming almost lost to this move."

"Wood Dragon Descent, also a High-level Earth Rank technique used by Ye Ming, still isn’t as powerful as Seven Evil Slash."

"This is why Sword Dao Practitioners are considered the most adept fighters."

"Sword Dao Martial Skills are also terrifyingly strong."

"Xiao Yi, an Outer Disciple, couldn’t possibly have such advanced martial techniques, he’s likely to be defeated."

Below the Martial Arts Arena, a multitude of disciples talked amongst themselves, even the Deacons started to change their expressions.

Xiao Yi’s face also became stern.

Earth Rank High Level techniques were no joke.

True Qi alone wouldn’t be enough to stop it.

He had to use a Martial Technique.

Whoosh, Xiao Yi waved his hand.

A True Qi Vortex that was two hundred zhang large appeared in mid-air.

This move directly stirred the onlookers into a frenzy.

"Two hundred zhang of True Qi."

Everyone’s eyes widened.

"How is that possible?" Guu Changkong couldn’t believe it, "How can that little waste, with a Fire Control Beast Martial Soul, have such a vast amount of True Qi?"

He had no time to ponder.

Because both their Martial Techniques had already taken shape.

"Seven Evil Slash."

"Mountain Shattering Slash."

Both of them shouted at the same time.

Seven Evil Slash was a High-level Earth Rank Martial Technique.

When deployed, seven types of cold, evil aura rapidly condensed.

Turning into seven black dragons that, with a devouring force, swept towards Xiao Yi.

Mountain Shattering Slash needed no further explanation.

Boom, a thunderous explosion echoed.

The formidable clash between the two Martial Techniques immediately disturbed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

Their earth-shattering power almost caused the vast Martial Arts Arena to collapse.

Some shockwaves began to escape, threatening to breach the confines of the Arena.

The Earth Rank techniques unleashed by the two were already beyond the Mysterious Profundity Realm.

They were only a hair’s breadth from the Mystic Breakthrough Realm.

The surrounding crowd was only made up of ordinary disciples.

Even being hit by the residual shockwaves would result in grave injuries.

Luckily, the Great Elder reacted quickly, waving his hand, a Spiritual Barrier descended, enveloping the vast Martial Arts Arena.

This was to prevent the collateral damage from the two’s battle from affecting the other disciples.

Back to the battle.

Their clash didn’t last long.

For Guu Changkong’s seven evil aura dragons were nearly effortlessly torn apart by Xiao Yi’s Mountain Shattering Slash.

Even a thousand-zhang tall mountain could be sundered by a single sword strike.

Let alone mere Qi Dragons made of evil aura.

In terms of True Qi, only one hundred and fifty zhang was applied to the Seven Evil Slash.

But up to two hundred zhang was applied to the Mountain Shattering Slash.

When it comes down to strength and weakness.

Mountain Shattering Slash was one of the famed techniques of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

Though both were High-level Earth Rank Techniques.

Seven Evil Slash was far inferior.

How could Guu Changkong not be defeated?

With a loud bang,

The seven evil aura dragons were completely annihilated.

Mountain Shattering Slash hit Guu Changkong’s chest directly.

"Puh," blood gushed from Guu Changkong’s mouth in spurts.

The next second, the great force of Mountain Shattering Slash blasted him away.

His diminutive body drew an arc in the air.

Accompanied by a bloody streak.

"Smack." When Guu Changkong hit the ground, his upper garments were already shattered.

A ferocious sword wound was starkly visible on his chest.

From the sword wound, blood kept flowing profusely.

He coughed up large amounts of blood.

"You’ve lost," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

At that moment, Guu Changkong no longer had the strength to fight.

Being hit head-on with a High-level Earth Rank Martial Technique, it would be odd if he weren’t severely injured.

It was because the Seven Evil Slash had already consumed much of its strength.

Otherwise, the Mountain Shattering Slash just now would have surely claimed his life.

Simultaneously, Xiao Yi finally understood why, several months ago, Ye Ming had nearly been defeated by Guu Changkong.

In terms of Qi Spring, Ye Ming’s was larger than Guu Changkong’s.

And with an Innate Taoist Body, Ye Ming could release more True Qi in a single burst.

He should not have lost.

But Sword Dao Practitioners inherently possess greater combat strength than other martial artists.

And most importantly, Xiao Yi could clearly sense an overbearing intent in the Seven Evil Slash just now.

That was part of the Martial Arts Knowledge of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

It was obvious Guu Changkong had grasped the technique to a certain degree and then integrated it into the Seven Evil Slash.

The primary offensive means of the Seven Evil Slash are seven types of terrifyingly evil Qi.

But the seven Qi Dragons it condensed were also imbued with tremendous impact and shredding power.

After incorporating the might of the Domineering Sword Technique, there was no question that both the impact and shredding powers were significantly stronger.

Thereby, the power of the Seven Evil Slash was lifted to a higher level.

It was not yet at the peak of Earth-rank, but it was infinitely close.

This was the true reason Ye Ming had come close to being defeated by Guu Changkong.

At this moment Guu Changkong struggled to stand up from the ground with great effort.

The ferociousness on his face was unmasked.

"I lost, I’ve lost? Hahaha." Guu Changkong laughed wildly.

For ten years since he joined the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, he had never suffered such humiliation.

Even Ye Ming, who was hailed as the strongest disciple of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, had never made him so embarrassed.

Right now, his killing intent towards Xiao Yi was more intense than ever.

"Take a look at your sword," Guu Changkong said with a cold smile.

Crack crack crack...

The Purple Cloud Iron Sword in Xiao Yi’s hand was breaking into pieces.

Xiao Yi had anticipated this; the Purple Cloud Iron Sword was merely a common sword, unfit to execute High-level Earth Rank Martial Techniques.

Its breaking was within reason.

"Even if I have no sword, I can still kill you," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

"What about if I add this?" Guu Changkong laughed smugly.

Suddenly, something appeared in his hand, a sword.

"It’s the Netherworld Sky Sword from the Guu Family, a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact."

Many of the disciples watching the fight recognized the sword in Guu Changkong’s hand.

"However, now that Guu Changkong is in a losing position, what good will a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact do?"

The disciples below the platform were discussing fervently.

Little did they know, shock had suddenly spread across the faces of the elders in the Elder’s Seat.

"That is not a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact," the Medicine Hall Elder said with a furrowed brow.

"Mid-grade Spirit Artifact, and it’s almost High Grade. Moreover, being a sword, in terms of power, it’s enough to rival an average High Grade Spiritual Artifact," Elder Yi said with a grave voice.

There are many types of Spiritual Artifacts: swords, sabers, whips, hammers, staffs, and more.

But Sword Spiritual Artifacts have the greatest power.

"Fourth Elder, I recall you have a piece of Starlight Stone in your possession," Elder Yi said with a piercing gaze, turning towards the Sword Hall Elder.

The Sword Hall Elder smirked and stayed silent.

Last night, he had given Guu Changkong the Starlight Stone.

A Starlight Stone could instantly elevate a Spiritual Artifact’s rank.

The Netherworld Sky Sword was already a powerful Low Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Thus, it was just a whisker away from ascending to High Grade due to the Starlight Stone, barely missing the threshold to be considered High Grade.

But that was enough.

Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts were rare in the Northern Mountain County, with only two in existence and they could not be used lightly.

High Grade Spiritual Artifacts were already the strongest weapons publicly known.

"The Netherworld Sky Sword now is enough to rival an average High Grade Spiritual Artifact,"

"In the hands of a Mystic Breakthrough Martial Artist, it could directly enhance by two to three layers of cultivation, allowing for battles across tiers,"

"With the Netherworld Sky Sword, Guu Changkong, possessing Half-step Breaking Profound Cultivation, can surely exhibit the strength not less than a Mystic Breakthrough Second Layer Martial Artist," Elder Yi said, his expression difficult to read.

"Kid, just admit defeat," Elder Yi shouted out loud.

At the same time, some discerning disciples below the Martial Arts Arena also perceived something odd about the Netherworld Sky Sword.

"That’s not right; that’s not a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact. Its presence has reached that of a High Grade Spiritual Artifact," Lin Jin said with a frown.

"That’s right," Liu Yanran said with shock, "In my family, we have a whip-class High Grade Spiritual Artifact, but in terms of might, it’s almost on par with the Netherworld Sky Sword now."

"Xiao Yi, just concede, get down quickly,"

"Otherwise, Guu Changkong the bastard will definitely play dirty," Qin Feiyang and others yelled out.

On the platform, Guu Changkong laughed savagely.

"Hahaha, Xiao Yi, do you still have the confidence to win now?"

"Even if you’ve just realized the power of the Netherworld Sky Sword, it’s too late."

"Die."

"Seven Evil Slash."

With a loud shout from Guu Changkong, he instantly mobilized the immense Spiritual Power within the Netherworld Sky Sword.

In midair, an incredibly huge vortex appeared instantly.

He was operating the power contained within the Spiritual Artifact to its maximum extent.

If the Seven Evil Slash was unleashed with such force,

Its power might have already surpassed that of a Mystic Breakthrough Second Layer Martial Artist’s attack.

From beginning to end, Xiao Yi hadn’t moved an inch.

The entire square kept echoing with voices from Lin Jin and others, telling him to hurry down off the stage.

Other martial artists also watched in dread, not knowing what horrific event might happen in the next second.

Only he remained utterly composed.

"Guu Changkong, you want to kill me," Xiao Yi scoffed, then glanced at Elder Yi in the distance.

"I once promised a peculiar old man that I wouldn’t let him down,"

"So, you should pray for your own good fortune."

The next second, Xiao Yi’s hand flashed, and a sword emitting a sinister blood-red light suddenly appeared.

It was the Blood Slaughter Sword.

Almost at the very instant the Blood Slaughter Sword appeared, the Ten Elders’ faces completely changed.

"High Grade Spiritual Artifact, that’s a true High Grade Spiritual Artifact!"

"How does that kid have a High Grade Spiritual Artifact?"

...

...

End of the fifth update. The outburst ends here today, thank you, everyone.
