"No." Mo You shook his head.

The Forget Sorrow Sword in his hand, which had been gathering, instantly dispersed.

"Brother Yi." Mo You turned to Xiao Yi and cupped his hands.

"I won’t take advantage of someone’s misfortune; today’s battle ends here."

"Someday, once you’ve recovered from your injuries, we will duel again."

"Humph." Not far away, Mo Youh sneered, "Yi Xiao, you evil thief, did you hear that?"

"My brother spares your life today, and yet, you don’t express gratitude?"

"Heh." Xiao Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced himself to stand.

"The Sword Qi infused with Sword Emperor Origin is indeed powerful."

"But to defeat someone like Yi is still far from enough."

"Brother Yi, why must you..." Mo You frowned.

"Humph, overestimating yourself." Mo Youh smirked disdainfully, "Let me mercifully tell you, I could only summon a sliver of Sword Emperor Origin."

"Yet it was enough to seriously injure you like this."

"While my brother can mobilize ninety-nine percent of the Sword Emperor Origin."

"The reason he hadn’t used it was merely for a fair fight; but if he had, your fate would be just like that little thief, Xiao Yi, from back then..."

"Like a stray dog, fleeing in disgrace."

"Oh, by the way." Mo Youh sneered proudly, "Today, I spare your life."

"But remember, this is the price of offending me."

"Back then, that little thief Xiao Yi could do nothing to me, and you... won’t either."

"Go back and tell that little thief Xiao Yi, that old hag, and those fools, to come to the Heavenly Hidden Academy and personally apologize within ten days."

"Or else..."

Bang...

A towering flame instantly swept up.

The astonishing fire abruptly cut off Mo Youh’s words.

Flames enveloped Xiao Yi’s body once more.

The terrifying heat instantly scalded his wounds to form scabs.

However, blood again overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Not far away, Elder Huoo, who had remained silent, frowned.

"Yi Xiao, why must you do this again?"

"Forcefully burning your wounds only adds injury to injury in desperation."

"In your current state, you might not withstand the power of Sword Emperor Origin."

"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled indifferently, with a tinge of menace in his laughter.

He came to the Heavenly Hidden Academy to fight and only suffered two injuries.

One was under the combined attack of Jiu Han, Ye Shang, and Lin Xinghe, with Ye Shang’s Ye Saint Six Extremes Palm injuring him once.

The other was just now, when Mo Youh borrowed Lin Xinghe’s Protective Sword Energy, enhanced by Sword Emperor Origin, delivering a sneak attack that seriously wounded him.

But, there won’t be a third time.

"A few days ago," Xiao Yi slowly opened his mouth, "I had a chat with a little brother of mine."

"He said that if his Sword Emperor Origin was taken, then so be it, he doesn’t care."

"He has confidence in his Sword Heart, that one day it will surpass all; external forces, however strong, he disdains to use."

"I told him, fine, if I encounter it in the future, I won’t fear it, because he’s my true opponent."

The surrounding Academy Elders were wide-eyed at his words.

Their first feeling was ’arrogant’, to the extreme.

They naturally knew that the little brother Yi Xiao spoke of was none other than the twin’s other half, Xiao Yi.

The matter of the Sword Emperor Origin being seized had long since spread from the Black Cloud Academy, known to all.

Yet Xiao Yi seemingly didn’t care in the slightest.

This is truly a Sword Cultivator, a monstrously arrogant being with pride reaching the heavens.

Bang...

At this moment, the flames on Xiao Yi erupted once more.

Mo You narrowed his eyes, "Alright, if Brother Yi insists on fighting, I can only accompany."

The Forget Sorrow Sword reformed once more.

The extreme black brilliance was dazzling.

Xiao Yi disregarded it, stepping forward once again, his cold gaze fixed on Mo Youh.

Mo You’s face turned cold at once, "Brother Yi, I have only one younger sister, no one can harm her."

Mo You’s tone had turned icy.

Bang... Mo You’s presence similarly erupted.

Strands of white light encircled his body incessantly.

It was... the Sword Emperor Origin.

Moreover, its Sword Emperor Origin aura far exceeded Mo Youh’s.

At this moment, Mo You’s strength was undoubtedly at a higher level.

His Sword Emperor Origin had evidently fully merged with his Martial Soul, with Senior Luoo’s help.

"Holy Annihilation Sword." Mo You slashed out.

The slash was incredibly fast.

Yet, the sword suddenly halted.

A torrent of Purple Flame poured out.

The momentum and flames on Xiao Yi’s body, at this moment, truly erupted in full.

Only at this moment did Xiao Yi reveal his full strength.

Both hands extended, the power of Fire Control far beyond ordinary comprehension.

From afar, Xiao Yi now looked very much like a Flame God, the flames of heaven and earth under his command.

The black light was overshadowed by the six-colored flames.

The sharp, fierce Sword Qi was crushed to the point of collapse by the overwhelming flames.

"Do you think breaking your Sword Qi is really that difficult?" Xiao Yi’s tone carried disdain.

"Do you think defeating you or killing you truly requires much effort?"

Xiao Yi sneered coldly.

Bang...

An earth-shattering roar.

Dozens of fierce six-colored dragons charged out.

The aura of the Holy Annihilation Sword was shattered in an instant.

Mo You’s body was sent flying under the dozens of fierce fire dragons.

When the flames dissipated, Mo You was already far away, coughing up mouthfuls of bloody saliva, no longer able to fight.

The expression of the surrounding Academy Elders was horrified to the extreme.

This wasn’t merely an advantage, it was an overwhelming display of strength.

"This Yi Xiao, how... terrifying."

Over here, Xiao Yi’s fire remained.

In his hand, he took out that list.

"Your name isn’t on the list, so I won’t kill you for now."

With that, he put the list away.

His steps continued steadily.

His gaze fixated on Elder Huoo.

In his gaze, besides coldness, there was solemnity.

From the start, he hadn’t taken Heavenly Hidden Mountain’s Secluded Elder, including Mo You, seriously.

Before coming to the Heavenly Hidden Academy, he knew the true obstacle to dealing with Mo Youh was Elder Huoo. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Yi originally thought you would remain watching, without appearing."

Xiao Yi spoke indifferently.

Indeed, Xiao Yi had long known Elder Huoo had been observing.

Including his defeat of Hua Qingyi and all surrounding Academy elder deacons, Elder Huoo had been watching, merely not appearing.

In this enormous Heavenly Hidden Academy, what could be hidden from Elder Huoo’s eyes?

Elder Huoo smiled lightly, "I didn’t show myself before because I knew it wasn’t necessary."

"You’ve only injured people, and even if you kill, it’s only a mere few."

"Whether it’s Elder Tongtian or Elder Tiandie, if you want them dead, I can’t do anything."

"Even if I stop you today, you’ll return another day."

"I can protect them for a time, but not forever."

"So, it wasn’t necessary, I let you do as you please, vent as much as you want."

Elder Huoo smiled lightly, neither happy nor sad.

...

Fourth update. (Explosive)
