Soul Emperor Martial God
Chapter 1731: If He Were Here
In the high sky.
The hand of the first figure suddenly froze.
The figure was none other than Senior Luoo.
Not far away, three figures floated in the air.
They were the three Masters of the Demon Hunting Hall, Flame Hall, and Medicine Venerate Hall.
The three Masters just stood there, making no move.
Senior Luoo’s hand still pressed down, but made no further action.
"Do you want to stop me?" Senior Luoo was the first to speak.
The voice was light and casual.
The Demon Hunting Hall Master chuckled softly, "It’s just a battle among juniors, why should we old folks intervene?"
"What if I insist on intervening?" Senior Luoo’s eyes turned cold.
The Flame Hall Master’s face turned cold, "Luoo, I don’t mind having a fight with you either."
The Flame Hall Master was always hot-tempered, ready to act at the slightest disagreement.
Senior Luoo ignored him, keeping his gaze fixed on the Demon Hunting Hall Master.
The Demon Hunting Hall Master smiled but said nothing, though he moved his hand.
The aged hand slowly placed it on his chest.
Ka...
A very slight snapping sound.
It was the button on his gray robe being gently unfastened.
Once all the buttons were undone, whoosh... the wide gray robe of the Demon Hunting Hall Master slipped off instantly.
Underneath the gray robe, there was a black outfit.
If not for the old body beneath the outfit, he would look exactly like Xiao Yi, who was fighting below.
A black outfit, neat and efficient.
A black outfit, which accompanied Xiao Yi in all his adventures under the name Yi Xiao, traversing dangerous places.
Ever since he became a Demon Hunter, it had always been this way.
Yet, who would have thought, that beneath the ordinary wide gray robe of the Demon Hunting Hall Master, was the same attire.
"Just watch." The Demon Hunting Hall Master slowly uttered a few words.
Senior Luoo squinted his eyes, the hand that had been pressing down slowly retracted, making no further move.
...
Below.
The academy elders and deacons, numerous strong people.
In the sky, there were clearly four figures, yet no one was aware, nor did anyone look up.
Only Elder Huoo slightly raised his head, glanced at the sky, and smiled faintly.
Xiao Yi also slightly raised his head, glanced at the sky, and frowned.
In his vision, there was nothing in the sky.
But his instincts could not be wrong.
Just now, at the moment he blasted Mo Youu away, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
The sense of danger even made him smell death.
But all these dangerous feelings almost instantly dissipated.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, as if realizing something.
However, Xiao Yi did not pay attention to it.
His steps moved again.
His goal was only Mo Youh.
His steps, though not fast, soon brought him to within a few meters of Mo Youh again.
Swoosh...
At this time, the originally blasted Mo Youu returned instantly, and swung a sword.
Xiao Yi did not pay attention, not even meeting eyes, just flicking his arm.
Boom...
Mo Youu’s figure, at a faster speed, was heavily blasted away.
"Pfft." Another mouthful of bloody spittle sprayed out.
The outcome of the battle was clearly decided.
Around, the academy elders shook their heads.
"The outcome is decided, Mo Youu is defeated." Jiu Han shook his head.
"Yi Xiao this child is truly extraordinary to the extreme," Ye Shang sighed.
The elder of Tianxuan Peak shook his head, "Speaking of, some days ago, this Yi Xiao already won first place in the competitions among the major forces at Dongli Sword Palace."
"Defeating the Heavenly Talents and monsters of various forces and major Sects in the Central Region."
"The talents of Eighteen Mansions, all bested by him."
"Even the reputed first talent of Eighteen Mansions, Shui Ninghan, was defeated with one punch."
"Though Mo Youu won first in the Hundred Schools competition, Yi Xiao, this child, also won first in the major forces competition."
"Now it seems, Yi Xiao is slightly more accomplished."
"No." A complex elderly voice rang out from not far away.
"Yi Xiao this child’s first in the major forces competition, is well deserved."
"However, Mo Youu’s first in the Hundred Schools contest is not certain yet."
"Deacon Youu?" The elders frowned and looked at Deacon Youu.
It was Deacon Youu who just spoke.
Deacon Youu sighed, "Have you forgotten, during the Hundred Schools competition, there was another talent, overpowering all the talents of the Hundred Schools."
"It’s just a pity he didn’t participate in the final contest, nor did he face Mo Youu."
"Him?" The elders realized, "The other of the twins, Xiao Yi."
Everyone remembered.
During the Hundred Schools competition, that Sword Dao genius also wreaked havoc at the martial arts arena of the Heavenly Hidden Academy.
Then, that Sword Dao genius, like the current Fire Control Demon, shone brilliantly, attracting all eyes.
At that time, that Sword Dao genius expressed his anger, more than a hundred academies in the Central Region, and no one could do anything to him.
It was just a pity, that injustice fell upon him once more.
That Sword Dao genius left the academy once more with an aloof yet desolate figure.
Now, this Fire Control Demon dominates, similarly unstoppable by anyone.
But this Fire Control Demon clearly won’t leave as easily as that Sword Dao genius did.
"If he were here..." All the elders couldn’t help but imagine these three words again.
But all this was merely a helpless imagination.
On Xiao Yi’s side.
His steps were still moving slowly.
Swoosh... The previously blasted Mo Youu instantly returned again, and swung a sword.
Xiao Yi frowned.
This time, Mo Youu was not blasted away.
But the sword in his hand dissolved again.
And a Beast Hand already gripped his throat.
"Really want to be stubborn?" Xiao Yi’s eyes already showed a dangerous killing intent.
"Uh." Mo Youu tried to struggle but found he couldn’t shake the Beast Hand in the slightest.
Xiao Yi’s cold eyes stared directly at Mo Youu.
Yet he didn’t notice, on the other side, Mo Youh’s eyes flashed with a sinister glint.
"Yi Xiao, die."
A burst of Sword Qi shot from Mo Youh’s hand.
On the Sword Qi, a white brilliance was hidden.
The speed of the Sword Qi was extremely fast, hiss...
At that moment, it pierced through Xiao Yi’s chest.
"Pfft." Xiao Yi’s eyes froze, and a mouthful of bloody spittle sprayed out.
And the Sword Qi, after piercing through his chest, didn’t stop, but shot toward the distance.
Where it passed, mountains crumbled, and the land split, all annihilated.
On the Sword Qi, countless starlight was carried.
Only until far away did the Sword Qi slowly dissipate. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Hm?" In the distance, Lin Xinghe’s pupils contracted, "It’s the Protective Sword Energy I just gave her, such powerful force."
"Uh." Xiao Yi groaned.
The hand that was originally gripping Mo Youu’s throat unconsciously released.
On his chest, a distinct blood hole appeared.
From the wound, blood gushed forth incessantly.
"Pfft." Xiao Yi spat out another mouthful of bloody spittle, nearly losing his balance, having to support himself with a hand on the ground.
Inside his mask, blood flowed rapidly.
This burst of Sword Qi actually instantly heavily injured him.
This Sword Qi was indeed Lin Xinghe’s Star-cutting Sword Energy.
The power alone reached Supreme 9999 Dao.
But just this Sword Qi alone couldn’t have heavily injured him to this extent, nor could it have been so fast that he couldn’t react.
The most important reason was the white brilliance on the Sword Qi.
That white brilliance, he was very familiar with.
Because, he once possessed it too.
It was the Sword Emperor Origin.
Lin Xinghe’s Star-cutting Sword Qi, plus the augmentation of the Sword Emperor Origin, resulted in the Heavenly Shocking Sword Qi just now.
"Brother, while this little thief is heavily injured, quickly take his life." Mo Youh sneered.
