Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 880: Counter-Hunting

Xiao Yi glanced at Tang Sha and shook his head with a smile, "Tang Sha, it’s really nice to have a friend like you."

"At least when something happens, you can immediately step up."

"Haha, you’re flattering me." Tang Sha smiled proudly and said, "What I cultivate is the Sand Dao and Water Dao."

"With the combination of the two martial arts, my attack can be powerful and my defense unparalleled, so..."

"Oh." Noticing Xiao Yi’s teasing smile, Tang Sha realized and his face turned red.

"Well, anyway, among the martial artists in Quicksand Territory this time, I’m the strongest. It’s only right they retreated first given their weaker strength."

Xiao Yi shook his head and didn’t dwell on the matter.

However, having hurried over earlier and seeing Tang Sha’s combat level, he indeed seemed formidable.

"You’ve broken through?"

"Yes." Tang Sha smiled and said, "After we parted last time, Brother Xiao Yi, I made a breakthrough. Now I have a Heavenly Extreme Fifth Layer Cultivation."

"Yeah." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Do you know what’s happening in the forest now?"

Tang Sha shook his head, "I’ve only been in this forest for a few hours."

"When I first arrived, I was forcibly knocked off by a strong figure from the Sub-Saint Artifact, which has now been seized."

"After that, I encountered the pursuit of this group of black-clothed martial artists."

"During the ongoing retreat and battles, I encountered many other martial artists from different territories."

"I’ve trained in other regions before, so I recognize quite a few people."

"If I’m not mistaken, a large number of heavenly talents from various territories should be trapped in this forest now."

"Correct." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Hmm?" After thinking for a bit, Tang Sha exclaimed, "This means that the disciples of the Flower Sea Sect should also be trapped here."

Xiao Yi nodded, "I’m not sure, but I suspect so."

"Let’s go." Tang Sha pulled Xiao Yi along and said, "The disciples of the Flower Sea Sect aren’t too strong. They might be in danger right now. Let’s go rescue them."

"No rush." Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "Although I have some acquaintance with the Flower Sea Sect disciples, I’ll rescue them if I can, and I’ll head there later."

"You go hide first, leave the rest to me."

"Hide?" Tang Sha shook his head without hesitation and said, "Among these heavenly talents, many are my friends."

"Moreover, these black-clothed martial artists clearly have ill intentions; I always feel there’s some conspiracy behind it all."

"And these guys are too obnoxious. From their words just now, they seem to treat the heavenly talents from various territories as prey. It’s truly intolerable."

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "You want to save them?"

"Yes, will Brother Xiao Yi join me?" Tang Sha asked enthusiastically.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "This forest is too vast, with battles everywhere; you can’t save many by yourself."

"But..." Tang Sha wanted to say something.

Xiao Yi interrupted, "Do as you will. Some things, if you wish to do, then do them. A martial artist should act thus; otherwise, going against one’s will is detrimental to the Dao Heart."

"Now that you have a Heavenly Extreme Fifth Layer cultivation, at what level is your combat ability?"

After thinking for a moment, Tang Sha confidently said, "Invincible within the Heavenly Extreme Fifth Layer, I wouldn’t fear even if a Sixth Layer appears."

"Good." Xiao Yi nodded, "Along the way here, the strength of those black-clothed martial artists varied, but all were below the Heavenly Extreme Realm, the strongest only at the Fifth Layer."

"Then I have nothing to fear from them." Tang Sha smiled confidently.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "It’s not that simple. There will definitely be black-clothed martial artists above the Sixth Layer, maybe even stronger, and quite a few of them."

"What do we do then?" Tang Sha asked.

"I’ll do my best to ensure the black-clothed martial artists above the Sixth Layer don’t bother you," Xiao Yi said seriously.

"However, to prevent accidents, send a signal into the sky if you meet a foe you can’t defeat. I’ll recognize your aura and come find you."

"Thanks, Brother Xiao Yi." Tang Sha smiled.

"Take care of yourself." Xiao Yi said, nodding.

"And what about you, Brother Xiao Yi?" Tang Sha asked.

"Me? Haha, I’ll play with them." Xiao Yi gave a cold smile, his figure flickered, and he disappeared from sight.

...

Somewhere in the forest, a phantom figure moved continuously among the trees.

A place where a battle had erupted.

Dozens of black-clothed martial artists were besieging dozens of young heavenly talents.

Whoosh... A phantom figure flashed past.

A cold white sword light swept across.

The sword landed, and dozens of black-clothed martial artists fell dead in an instant.

The sword vanished, and the phantom figure disappeared without a trace.

Only dozens of injured young heavenly talents remained, faces filled with shock, "What incredible speed, such a powerful sword, who was that?"

...

A few minutes later, another battle erupted elsewhere.

Similarly, a phantom figure flashed past, a cold white sword light swept across, and dozens of black-clothed martial artists fell dead.

And this ghostly figure was nowhere to be seen.

...

Two hours later.

Deep in the forest, in a certain place, a handsome young man in black luxurious clothing sat in a pavilion.

The young man had a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth and occasionally sipped hot tea.

Behind him, two beautiful maids were massaging and serving him.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, the young man frowned and put down his cup of hot tea.

The two maids behind him turned pale instantly, "Forgive us, Young Master, did we hurt you?"

The two maids quickly knelt down, panic on their faces, as if the young master before them was some terrifying being.

"Get up, it’s not your fault." The young man said lightly and looked to the side, "Hidden Two."

"Young master." A black-clothed martial artist appeared out of thin air.

The young man frowned and said, "Don’t you feel like this forest has become somewhat calmer?"

"Go see who’s disturbing this young master’s peace."

"Yes." Hidden Two nodded.

Before long, the black-clothed martial artist known as Hidden Two flashed back.

"Report, young master." Hidden Two reported in a low voice, "Two hours ago, a mysterious strong figure appeared in the forest unknown to us."

"This person swept from left to right, and we’ve lost no fewer than hundreds of people to him."

"Oh?" The young man frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

"I don’t know." Hidden Two shook his head, "Those who have seen him have been killed."

"We captured a few young heavenly talents, and they only said a phantom flashed past followed by a cold white sword light."

"Cold white sword light." The young man smiled playfully, "How interesting, hunting us instead?"

"Keep investigating."

"Yes." Hidden Two nodded, disappearing in a flash.

Another two hours later, Hidden Two returned in a hurry.

"What did you find?" The young man asked lightly.

Hidden Two looked troubled, "Reporting, young master, we can’t find anything or trace this person."

"But our people, another few hundred have died, and over a dozen squads have perished at his hands."

"Over a dozen squads dead, no wonder the forest feels a lot calmer." The young man smiled mischievously.

"I think I know who this person is."

"Hidden One, Hidden Two, Hidden Three... Hidden Six, you six go and bring this person to me."

"Yes." Six phantom-like figures responded in unison, disappearing silently on the spot.

...

Second update.
