Soul Emperor Martial God
Chapter 1761: Accelerating Forward
"Young Master Xiao Yi, be careful."
"Xiao Yi."
"Vice Master Xiao Yi, be careful."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Everything happened too quickly.
But Xiao Yi’s reaction speed was even faster.
His eyes swept across the three elixirs.
His foot moved slightly.
His body swiftly shifted to the side.
The three movements were carried out simultaneously, seamlessly.
The blood arrow grazed past his shoulder.
Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, bypassing the Body Cultivation Puppet, his fingertip flicked, knocking away the elixir.
Then, he turned around, swung his sword, and swept across, slicing the attacking puppets in half.
Xiao Yi’s movements were completed in an instant.
The crowd only perceived a blur, only to find the blood arrow vanished, the poison pills flicked away, and puppets scattered.
Xiao Yi’s fluid actions were indescribably graceful and swift.
"Impressive," Gongsun Huowu laughed.
"Such quick reflexes," Guu Lianxing exclaimed with surprise.
"No wonder he’s the Vice Master Xiao Yi." The dozen Heavenly Talents could only express pure admiration and awe.
Xiao Yi stared ahead, his face filled with battle intent.
"The Ancient Emperor’s Tomb is becoming more interesting to me," Xiao Yi smirked.
The current challenges merely felt troublesome to him.
To really pressure him, it’s far from enough.
The alchemy prohibition area isn’t enough; the alchemy channel here is still not enough.
But soon, it should be enough.
The path ahead is still very long, and there are many more connection points.
"Keep close with me," Xiao Yi turned to the group.
"Next, let’s run through this path."
"Run?" Guu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu froze.
"Uh," the dozen heavenly talents nodded instinctively.
Initially, within the various teams’ paths, only this channel was interconnected thrice, making it extremely difficult.
If they knew that in Xiao Yi’s mind, he found it far from enough and wanted to increase the difficulty, they might ’hate’ him.
"Let’s go," said Xiao Yi.
As soon as he spoke, he advanced with his sword.
Ahead, a vast distance was shrouded in blood red.
Xiao Yi struck with his sword, and as the Sword Qi passed, the blood red dissipated.
Underfoot, another Sword Qi penetrated the blood flow, breaking prohibitions with ease.
Along the way, Body Cultivation Puppets appeared continuously. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Yet, under the Purple Lightning Divine Sword, none were a match.
Poison Pill and Explosive Pill came one after another.
This time, Xiao Yi solved it even faster.
Behind him, the team followed with a trot, faster than before.
Seeing the graceful figure ahead almost steamrolling forward, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
In a short moment, the group advanced a thousand meters.
At this position, Xiao Yi paused again.
"Another connection point," Xiao Yi squinted, yet smiled.
Suddenly, flames surged around his feet.
"It’s the Fire Dao path of First Yun’s team," Xiao Yi said, swinging his sword.
The astounding Sword Qi swept through once more.
Along the path, the outbreaking flames all dissipated.
"Keep running," Xiao Yi quickly said, moving forward again.
In just a few minutes.
The group moved another thousand meters.
"Here comes another one," Xiao Yi smiled.
Not only were there blood waves underfoot, but flames surged around.
The cold eyes of the Body Cultivation Puppets stared at Xiao Yi.
And strands of lightning gradually formed a collapsing dragon, devouring forward.
"It’s Hua Ruolian’s Thunder Dao path," Xiao Yi spoke indifferently.
Fifteen paths crisscross.
From the start, there were only individual paths.
The further ahead, the more connection points between paths.
By this point, the Alchemy Channel was already connected with four other paths.
The trials from the four other paths also appeared here.
"Break it for me," Xiao Yi swung another sword in the air.
On the Purple Lightning Divine Sword, lightning roared, thunderous lightning aura poured out.
A huge Thunder Pillar seemed to form on the colossal path.
The Thunder Pillar came not from above but emerged from the sword, thrusting forward.
Boom... a deafening explosion.
Purple lightning surged into the distance.
As the lightning dissipated, ahead were empty spaces.
Fire, blood, Body Cultivation Puppets, and strands of blue lightning all annihilated, no longer existing.
"Keep moving," said Xiao Yi, continuing onward.
The group swallowed a little and followed again.
While running, Gongsun Huowu pouted, "What’s gotten into him, like he’s pumped with adrenaline."
Guu Lianxing chuckled, "You will truly know if he’s fierce on the day you marry."
"For now, if I’m not mistaken, Young Master Xiao Yi seems to have seen something challenging."
"His face clearly shows high battle spirits."
"His target should be at the end of the path."
Gongsun Huowu blushed first, then looked towards the distant path in doubt.
Indeed, Guu Lianxing guessed right.
Previously, at the alchemy prohibition or path entrance, Xiao Yi saw nothing truly pressurizing.
So he was always casual.
Until now, the end of the path finally made Xiao Yi feel pressure.
That’s a sensation of fatal danger.
Therein lies the reason for Xiao Yi’s current spirited battle intent.
...
In other major paths.
Each team noticed the changes in the alchemy path, surprised.
"How did Xiao Yi get so fierce? The progress speed skyrocketed?" Qing Lin furrowed his brows.
Mo Youu chuckled, "With Junior Brother Xiao Yi’s skills, if he dares to be so bold, he surely has every confidence."
Ye Liu looked at the alchemy path blandly and chuckled, "Brother Xiao Yi was merely mildly serious earlier, now it’s for real."
Ran Qi furrowed his brows, "Good man, I’ll compete with you."
First Yun, Hua Ruolian, and others glanced and furrowed their brows, "Hmph, we’ll catch up."
For a moment, several teams accelerated their progress.
On the Earth Dao path, Lingg Hong glanced, "A bunch of lunatics."
"The Ancient Emperor’s Mansion is full of danger, such recklessness, aren’t they fearing death?"
"Forget it, don’t bother with them."
On the Black Cloud Academy’s side, Qing Lin stepped forward first, "Mo Youu, brother, leave the team to you."
"I’ll forge ahead."
As he spoke, Qing Lin stormed forward instantly.
"Junior Brother Qing Lin," Mo Youu called out hurriedly and sighed helplessly.
...
On the alchemy path aside.
Since Xiao Yi forged ahead with his sword, the group hardly paused a millimeter, smoothly proceeding.
"Refreshing," the dozen Heavenly Talents laughed several times.
The Ancient Emperor’s Tomb is said to be fraught with danger, yet following behind Xiao Yi feels as leisurely as a stroll, pressure-free.
Perhaps, for the dozen Heavenly Talents, this is their easiest and most relaxed chance ever to gain opportunities.
...
Second update.
