Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Jiang Shanhe and Nie Hechuan retreated in succession, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xu Feiying, their expressions grave as they looked at Xiao Yi.

Their eyes were filled with tumultuous waves.

There was a time...

Bai Xing and Ping Sifang were on par with them, dominating figures among the younger generation of the ten nations of Nanhuang, the strongest of existences.

As long as the older generation of the Tao Tribulation Realm did not step in, they were nearly invincible.

They had never imagined they would die at the hands of someone their own age.

Especially not by someone who, just a year ago, was nothing more than waste at the Physical Body Realm.

"He, he was really just at the Physical Body Realm a year ago?" Xu Feiying swallowed hard, asking in disbelief.

Nie Hechuan too looked at Jiang Shanhe with a shocked face.

Gurgle!

Jiang Shanhe swallowed his saliva subconsciously and said with a wry smile, "According to the information I received, when he first came to Nanhuang City a year ago, he was merely at the initial stage of the Physical Body Realm."

Hiss!

Xu Feiying and the other person gasped in amazement.

A year's time, ah!

For them, advancing even one realm might be tough, but Xiao Yi had spanned across a full four major realms in just one year!

Such a cultivation speed, they had neither seen nor even heard of before!

"Xu Feiying, Nie Hechuan... If we do not take out this lad, give him just a few more years... No, perhaps just a few more months, and we will not be his match..." Jiang Shanhe said with a somber expression and a gloomy face.

Xu Feiying narrowed his eyes, and raised his hand to touch his hooked nose, "You're right... But with the three of us combined, I'm afraid we're no match for him!"

Even when five of them joined forces, Xiao Yi managed to kill two.

What more now that only the three of them were left?

A ruthless look flashed in Jiang Shanhe's eyes, "I have a poison at hand called Soul Dispelling Powder. Colorless and odorless, just a single breath of it, and even a Golden Core Realm powerhouse will lose their ability to fight. Nie Hechuan, each of us takes some Soul Dispelling Powder, and later on, let's use our Innate Divine Abilities to entangle Xiao Yi. We will find a way to use the Soul Dispelling Powder to strip him of his combat power, and then Feiying will strike at the right moment, how about that?"

"Soul Dispelling Powder? That's a fifth-grade elixir, worth over a hundred million silver, you're really quite willing to use it!" Nie Hechuan looked at Jiang Shanhe in surprise.

Jiang Shanhe snorted coldly, "You can't set a wolf trap without giving up a child, just tell me if you'll do it or not?"

"Using poison is a bit shameful... But if we can get his secret, it will all be worth it!" Nie Hechuan took the Soul Dispelling Powder from Jiang Shanhe's hand.

Xu Feiying nodded, "Let's do it!"

No sooner said than done.

Jiang Shanhe and Nie Hechuan, one on the left and one on the right, transformed into two roaming dragons, sweeping towards Xiao Yi with two gusts of fierce wind.

They moved so fast that in the blink of an eye, they were already in front of Xiao Yi.

"Furious Dragon Shakes the Sea!"

Jiang Shanhe's long spear stood tall, like a Black Dragon entering the world.

Nie Hechuan, expressionless, held a longsword in each hand. The twin swords whirled fiercely, attacking Xiao Yi from both sides with continuous and unrelenting strikes.

Xu Feiying was further away, repeatedly looking for opportunities to shoot arrows.

Oftentimes, just as Xiao Yi had dodged the attacks of Jiang Shanhe and the other, and sought to press forward, Xu Feiying's arrow would fall in front of him, blocking his pursuit and causing him to miss several chances to eliminate the two.

Xu Feiying, holding a great bow, said with a smug look, "Xiao Yi, with me here, you can forget about touching them again!"

"Damn it!"

A flicker of cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, "It seems I can't continue the fight without taking down Xu Feiying."

"Breaking Spear Skill!"

"Saber-Breaking Style!"

Xiao Yi suddenly increased his speed, continuously invoking the Solitary Nine Swords, pushing back Jiang Shanhe and the other person time after time.

His swordplay became faster and sharper.

Like clouds flowing through the sky.

It was as if the man and sword had merged into one...

This made Xu Feiying's arrows fail several times to stop Xiao Yi's momentum, resulting in Jiang Shanhe and Nie Hechuan suffering several strikes from Xiao Yi's sword.

Jiang Shanhe was furious, "Xu Feiying, what the hell are you doing?"

Nie Hechuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, also extremely angry, "Just a bit more... and I would have been beheaded..."

Xu Feiying too appeared helpless, "How can you blame me for this? His sword is just too fast..."

In the crowd.

Gu Junhe's eyes showed shock, "This... Is this the third level of Sword Intent, the unity of man and sword? No, it's still a bit off, but he has already touched upon that barrier... What kind of monster is this guy? He's not even twenty years old, yet he has grasped the third level of Sword Intent at the Golden Core Realm? This... this... "

Yue Cang also had a glint in his eye, "What an impressive Xiao Yi... No wonder my silly sister took a liking to you, such talent is indeed terrifying. I'm somewhat tempted to fight with you myself! However..." He looked down at Fang Qingzhu who lay unconscious beside him and rubbed his brow, "Oh, my foolish little sister, I'm afraid it's a case of unrequited love with you!"

He was very aware of the massive gap in Xiao Yi's combat strength before and after Fang Qingzhu was rescued.

There was only one explanation for such a result...

In Xiao Yi's heart, Fang Qingzhu held an extremely important position.

At that moment...

Xiao Yi suddenly pushed the two back with a sword strike, but his figure sharply changed direction, rushing straight towards Xu Feiying.

"Not good!"

The complexions of Jiang Shanhe and the other changed drastically.

If they lost Xu Feiying skirting on the sidelines, ready to act and distract Xiao Yi, then a Xiao Yi with no further concerns would be even more formidable.

The two of them joined forces to chase after Xiao Yi.

Xu Feiying wore a fierce smile, "Kill me? That's a fool's dream. Just eat my dust behind me!"

Xu Feiying's forte was long-range attacks.

He ran while launching attacks.

He lured Xiao Yi along as if flying a kite.

"Hahaha. Xiao Yi, you'll never catch up to me..." Xu Feiying laughed heartily.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Yi suddenly smirked,

A trace of thick mockery appeared on his face, causing Xu Feiying's complexion to change abruptly, filled with a strong sense of unease. Almost at the same time, the Xiao Yi behind him suddenly vanished, his speed inexplicably quadrupling. It turned out he had employed the Blood Explosion Skill, doubling his strength and speed, and he threw a punch from mid-air.

Boom!

The heavy fist, tinted with a blood-colored airflow, struck Xu Feiying.

Xu Feiying's body shuddered, like a star falling from the sky, crashing to the ground with great force.

With a loud crash,

Xu Feiying hit the ground, his head smashed into a bloody pulp, transforming into a headless corpse.

"Now's our chance, release the poison!" Jiang Shanhe roared lowly.

Nie Hechuan nodded fiercely.

The two simultaneously scattered the powder in their hands.

Swish! Swish!

Two streams of white powder enveloped Xiao Yi.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to be covered, he flipped his hand with a slap.

With a swish, a gust of wind swept by, rolling back the white powder, wrapping Nie Hechuan and the other in its grasp.

"It's over..."

The two wore faces of despair.

Bang! Bang!

The pair felt a numbness and weakness throughout their bodies and fell to the ground with two thuds.

Tap tap tap!

Xiao Yi, sword in hand, walked over to the two men.

Nie Hechuan's pale face was filled with bitter pleading, "I am the Crown Prince of Sihai Kingdom, you can't kill me..."

"That reason doesn't work!"

Xiao Yi shook his head and slit his throat with his sword.

Nie Hechuan covered his throat, unable to stop the gushing blood, lying in a pool of blood.

Xiao Yi's gaze fell on Jiang Shanhe, his eyes filled with brutality and coldness, "Should I hack you a thousand times? Or should I make it quick for you?"

"No... don't kill me, Xiao Yi, I realize I was wrong. Please don't kill me..." At this moment, Jiang Shanhe had lost all his past arrogance, leaving only despair and the fear of facing death.

Xiao Yi said, "Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

"I, I..."

Jiang Shanhe's face showed panic.

He didn't feel he'd done anything wrong.

He was only pleading to save his life.

"It seems you still haven't realized your mistake!"

Xiao Yi lifted his longsword, and with two swishes, two arms flew high into the air.

Aaah...

Jiang Shanhe screamed continuously, enduring the severe pain, "I was wrong... I shouldn't have let Ye Feng and the others try to kill you..."

"Still wrong!"

Xiao Yi struck again, this time severing Jiang Shanhe's legs.

Argh...

Jiang Shanhe convulsed, suffering unbearable agony, his face completely twisted, tears streaming down, "I... I see my mistake now... I shouldn't have opposed you, I shouldn't have captured Fang Qingzhu and others to threaten you. I was wrong... Xiao Yi, Lord Xiao, I truly admit my fault, please spare me..."

"You finally got it right this time, but unfortunately, it's too late!"

Xiao Yi smiled, his expression appearing as a nightmarish demon in the eyes of Jiang Shanhe, who shouted in terror, "Save me... Master, save me..."

Boom!

A thunderous roar, reminiscent of a clap of thunder, suddenly emanated from the depths of the Royal Martial Arts Academy, an authoritative voice thundered like a divine decree, "Xiao Yi, release His Highness, and I'll spare your life!"

The terrifying pressure caused nearly ninety percent of the powerhouses present to feel weak in the knees.

Yue Cang's expression changed, "Tao Tribulation Realm?"

Gu Junhe squinted his eyes, as if facing a great enemy, "This shameless fellow really did use the Martial Dao Divine Fruit, this is troublesome..."

Facing Zhou Yuan, who appeared in the void, godlike and devilish,

Xiao Yi smirked, "Sorry, I don't agree!"

Thrust!

A single sword strike.

A severed head rolled away.

Jiang Shanhe's face still held a look of relief and ecstatic joy at having survived, and a touch of confusion...
