Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2184: Chapter 2181: The Death of Ye Liu

Xiao Yi originally paid no attention to the battle below.

He only glanced at Yiyi beside him and said with a light smile, "It won’t be long before we leave the Four Seasons Territory and head to the next region."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi said with a light smile, noticing a group of martial artists suddenly blocking the road ahead, and frowned.

"Who are you?" The young lord asked aggressively.

"Hmm? What a peculiar Stepping Cloud Beast."

The young lord looked at the Stepping Cloud Beast they were riding on and showed a look of surprise.

"Smooth fur, spirited eyes, and an imposing manner."

"In terms of aura, it seems far stronger than a regular Stepping Cloud Beast."

The elder behind the young lord glanced a few times and said in a solemn voice, "Young Sect Master, this is no ordinary Stepping Cloud Beast."

"If this old man isn’t mistaken, it’s an extremely rare Cloud Beast King."

"Even in the Cloud River Region and Cloud Sea Region, where Stepping Cloud Beasts are plentiful, there are only no more than ten Cloud Beast Kings."

Stepping Cloud Beasts are not considered very rare demon beasts.

Stepping Cloud Beasts, due to their gentle temperament, have bodies and strength that are not weaker than demon beasts of the same level.

Therefore, many families or commercial families and trading companies domesticate these Stepping Cloud Beasts for commercial use.

Although martial artists have Universe Rings that can store many things.

However, most of these Universe Rings don’t have very large spaces.

Moreover, Stepping Cloud Beasts can easily carry the weight of several mountains.

Some are even used to haul Sub-Saint Artifact ships.

A Sub-Saint Artifact ship, when paired with several Stepping Cloud Beasts, not only becomes incredibly mighty but also greatly increases its speed of flight.

Naturally, it’s not surprising for this young lord and the elder to recognize a Stepping Cloud Beast.

"Cloud Beast King?" At this moment, the young lord’s eyes lit up.

"An extremely rare Cloud Beast King?"

Stepping Cloud Beasts only appear in cloud and mist.

Most of the time, they are in a place high in the sky with dense clouds stretching for miles.

The Stepping Cloud Beast hides within, making it difficult for ordinary people to catch.

Of course, ordinary Stepping Cloud Beasts are still relatively easy to catch.

But the Cloud Beast King, being rare and powerful, is extremely difficult to catch.

A Cloud Beast King amidst the vast expanse of clouds is hard for even those much stronger human martial artists to perceive, let alone capture.

Naturally, the Cloud Beast King is quite precious.

However, the elder in front of us is quite lacking in discernment.

The young lord, probably around 28 or 29 years old, only has peak cultivation of the Saint Realm, so it’s normal that he can’t sense the aura of a Cloud Beast King.

The elder, however, is a Seventh Layer of Emperor Realm martial artist.

Yet, he too cannot detect the aura of a Cloud Beast Emperor and only assumes it’s a Cloud Beast King.

He probably never imagined that this is even more precious—a hundred times more precious than a Cloud Beast King, a Cloud Beast Emperor.

And most importantly, he cannot gauge just how overwhelmingly powerful these two young people now riding the two Cloud Beast Emperors truly are.

"Do you wish to block our way?" Xiao Yi asked indifferently as he looked at the group.

"Hmph." The young lord snorted coldly, his gaze already moving from the Stepping Cloud Beast to Yiyi.

In that instant, there was astonishment in the young lord’s eyes.

Then came an intense desire and a twinkle.

"Boy," the young lord looked at Xiao Yi, "if you obediently roll away now, I might spare your life."

"Of course." The young lord had a look of smugness, as well as a condescending demeanor, "Leave the woman and those two Cloud Beast Kings."

Yiyi clearly felt the young lord’s gaze and frowned instantly.

She once was an extremely noble Holy Moon Sect Saintess; she only appeared as sweet and charming as ever before Xiao Yi.

In front of others, she still remained dignified and unassailable.

"Young Master." Yiyi looked toward Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded his head.

Upon hearing this, the young lord’s face brightened once again, "Young Master? So she’s just a maid?"

"Tsk tsk, it’s such a pity to have such a beauty as a maid."

"Come follow me."

"I, as the Young Sect Master of the Golden Ring Sect, guarantee you will live a life of dignity and be showered with love one day."

Xiao Yi’s eyes were already icy cold, "I wouldn’t bother with a fool like you, but it seems you are insisting on courting death."

"What did you say?" The young lord looked at Xiao Yi, his face immediately turning grim.

"It appears you still wish to resist."

"Hmph, let me tell you, in this Four Seasons Territory, there’s nothing I, the Golden Ring Sect’s young master, cannot have, and there’s no one who dares to defy us in the slightest."

"Seize them for me."

"No." The young lord added, "Kill the boy on the spot."

"Of course, leave the beauty."

"Yes." Came the response from below.

Hundreds of martial artists instantly took to the sky, surrounding the area.

Behind the young lord, several elders with unusual auras were all Seventh Layer of Emperor Realm martial artists.

"After I kill this boy, I’ll show him what it means to overestimate oneself."

One elder said obsequiously and then, with cold eyes, shot out.

Xiao Yi shook his head and patted the Cloud Beast Emperor below him, "Big Yellow, I’ll leave it to you."

These level of martial artists aren’t even worthy of making him exert any effort.

As the words fell, Xiao Yi’s figure flickered, sitting behind Yiyi.

"Roar." Big Yellow immediately let out an angry roar, its massive body moving, slamming its giant paw down hard.

And the elder rushing in suddenly shrank his pupils, "Such fast speed, how could it be..."

The elder had not yet reacted.

Bang... A loud explosion.

The elder was directly slapped away, like a meteor, crashing heavily into the ground.

Roar... Big Yellow roared again.

In an instant, the surrounding white clouds surged, and cloud dragons appeared out of thin air, ravaging the surroundings.

"Not good, such a strong aura." The elders’ expressions changed instantly.

"Protect the Young Sect Master."

Several elders of the Seventh Layer of the Emperor Realm quickly protected the young master.

The young master, on the other hand, crushed a token in his hand.

After dozens of breaths.

In the distance, a figure with a surging aura arrived by breaking through the void.

"Damn it, who dares to be so arrogant on my Golden Ring Sect’s territory?"

A rough voice exploded forth.

A middle-aged man arrived swiftly.

"Peak of Saint Emperor Realm cultivation?" Xiao Yi glanced at the speeding middle-aged man, sneering disdainfully.

This Four Seasons Territory isn’t considered a strong region.

However, having a peak Saint Emperor Realm expert is quite normal.

Of course, this should be the strongest martial artist in this region.

Moreover, for such a region to deploy martial artists of the Seventh Layer of the Emperor Realm is already not a typical force.

I suppose, this Golden Ring Sect is the overlord force within the Four Seasons Territory.

No wonder this young master is so extremely arrogant.

"Greetings, Sect Master." The surrounding martial artists paid their respects.

"Father." The young master called out, then looked at Xiao Yi with a vengeful gaze, "Father, it was this brat who just tried to kill me."

"Forced me to crush my Protective Jade Pendant."

The middle-aged man immediately exuded murderous intent, "Dare to try and kill my son in the Four Seasons Territory? Are you tired of living?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

Before Xiao Yi could speak, a loud shout came from the distant horizon.

The newcomer, wielding a long spear, rushed forward with thunder and lightning.

"Hmm? Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear?" Jin Batian frowned, "Young Master of the Heavenly Spear Mansion, Ran Qi?"

Below, the martial artists of the Four Sword Sect, who were already injured, suddenly rejoiced.

"Brother Ran, you did come after all." The voice from below belonged to a young man about Ran Qi’s age.

In the sky, Jin Batian sneered, "I’ve heard your Four Sword Sect and the Heavenly Spear Mansion have a close relationship, and it seems to be true."

"However, today, solely relying on the Heavenly Spear Mansion, you cannot protect your Four Sword Sect."

"My Golden Ring Sect is under the Beiyin Sect, and we even have elders serving there."

"Hmph, today I’ll first kill the one who dared to harm my son, then wipe out your Four Sword Sect, Ran Qi of the Heavenly Spear. Retreat wisely."

Clang... Boom...

A long spear came with thunder.

The newcomer was indeed Ran Qi.

Ran Qi’s gaze first fell not on Jin Batian and the others, but on Xiao Yi and Yiyi, with some surprise in his eyes.

"It’s you two?" Ran Qi said in surprise.

Then, Ran Qi sneered, looking at Jin Batian, "Jin Batian, although the Beiyin Sect is an overlord force in the Central Region, my Heavenly Spear Mansion cannot contend with it."

"But do you know who it is you’re blocking right now?"

"Heh, if you provoke this guy, even if you were to be exterminated, the Beiyin Sect wouldn’t dare to utter a word."

"Am I right?" Ran Qi’s gaze turned to Xiao Yi, "Sword Dao Demon, Xiao Yi."

"Xiao Yi?" Jin Batian frowned, seemingly pondering something.

After a moment, his face changed drastically, "That Sword Dao Demon? No, no... That rumored Master of the Eight Palaces?"

The domineering tone of Jin Batian started to tremble at some unknown point.

"Hmph." Ran Qi snorted coldly, no longer speaking, but his long spear had already been unleashed.

With his supreme realm cultivation, the Golden Ring Sect was simply no match.

A thunderous roar resounded, and the martial artists of the Golden Ring Sect, including Jin Batian and the young master, along with a group of Golden Ring Sect elders, were instantly engulfed in a sea of thunder.

Once the thunder subsided, the Golden Ring Sect martial artists inside were either dead or injured, with no survivors.

Ran Qi of the Heavenly Spear, always acted decisively.

In the sky.

Ran Qi looked at Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi."

"Ran Qi." Xiao Yi chuckled softly.

Ran Qi’s expression gradually grew complex, only uttering four words, "It’s been a while."

Xiao Yi nodded, "It has been a while, didn’t expect to meet here today."

Ran Qi’s gaze turned to Yiyi, then he shook his head, "If I’m not mistaken, your cultivation now is about the same as a year and a half ago."

"In other words, your cultivation hasn’t advanced an inch in a year and a half."

Ran Qi’s gaze grew serious, "Xiao Yi, hear my advice."

"The scent of women is the grave of heroes, take care of yourself."

Xiao Yi shrugged.

But Ran Qi’s eyes turned cold, "Do you know that Ye Liu, that kid, has died."

"I heard he died during a dangerous training outside."

Xiao Yi’s expression turned grim instantly.

Ran Qi shook his head, speaking solemnly, "I only hope that I won’t have one less opponent."
