Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2193: Chapter 2190: Luo Feng, the Swift Sword

Though the solemn expression on Xiao Yi’s face was faint.

The observant Yiyi still noticed it.

Of course, Xiao Yi did not intend to conceal this change in expression.

"Young master, have you noticed something wrong with these demon beasts?" Yiyi asked.

Xiao Yi nodded, then shook his head, "Yes, but also no."

Before Yiyi could inquire further.

Xiao Yi directly said, "There is nothing wrong with these demon beasts or the beast tide."

"The problem lies in the current Heaven and Earth Rules."

"I am increasingly discovering that under this sky, the demon beasts are gradually becoming violent."

Yiyi smiled and said, "Young master, you have been observing the demon beasts for more than a year."

Xiao Yi awkwardly touched his nose, "Perhaps it’s a habit, after all, I am a Demon Hunter."

Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled.

In fact, she knew everything. She also noticed her young master’s intention.

However, she never pointed it out.

Because she knew her young master had his own plans.

At this moment, Xiao Yi’s expression grew solemn once again.

In the past year and a half, he clearly noticed that the demon beasts were becoming increasingly problematic.

It’s not that there is something wrong with them, but that under the influence of the Heaven and Earth Rules, the demon beasts are becoming more violent and restless.

Especially as the sky becomes increasingly oppressive and overcast, the demon beasts become more... excited.

Yes, excited.

In fact, in the past year and a half, Xiao Yi has rarely acted.

Although he traveled extensively, he wasn’t constantly encountering beast tides with such bad luck.

Moreover, with the Eight Palaces Law Enforcement Teams collaborating frequently, the trend of beast tides has been greatly curtailed, and the frequency of their eruption has been low to begin with.

Therefore, in a year and a half, he has not encountered many beast tides.

Of course, as he traveled, he often crossed through the Demon Beast Forest and dangerous lands.

However, beast tides did not break out within, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy.

As a Demon Hunter, he naturally had the habit of observing demon beasts.

He clearly discovered that as time progressed and the day of change approached, the demon beasts became increasingly violent and excited.

Once all the dangerous lands and demon beast forests across the Central Region break out, with demon beasts going berserk, it would result in a monstrous upheaval.

Hence, his expression now was extremely solemn.

At this time, Yiyi furrowed her brows and said, "No wonder I’ve felt that Da Bai and Big Yellow have been somewhat unusual these days."

"They seem much more anxious than before."

Yiyi, not having stepped into the Saint Sovereign Realm, could not resonate with Heaven and Earth, and was unaware of the changes in demon beasts.

Xiao Yi put away the solemn look on his face and glanced at Big Yellow beneath him.

These two Cloud Beast Emperors had accompanied them for more than a year.

And these two Cloud Beast Emperors did not become excited like other demon beasts; instead, they were anxious.

"Hoo." Xiao Yi took a deep breath, "Da Bai and Big Yellow, after all, are also demon beasts."

"Over the past year, they have carried us everywhere. As compensation, I have given them a large amount of Cultivation Items."

"If one day, they no longer wish to follow, I will let them go without harming them in the slightest, rest assured."

Da Bai and Big Yellow, after all, are demon beasts.

Generally speaking, demon beasts and human martial artists cannot coexist peacefully.

However, the Stepping Cloud Beasts are, after all, gentle demon beasts.

And these two Cloud Beast Emperors, being rare and of high level, are intelligent.

Although they are gentle, they naturally do not wish to carry human martial artists around without reason.

Initially, Xiao Yi used the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which the Cloud Beast Emperors loved, as bait to capture them.

Thereafter, he constantly provided various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which allowed the two Cloud Beast Emperors to continue following him.

At this time, Da Bai slowly turned its head and affectionately licked Yiyi on its back.

And Big Yellow beneath Xiao Yi shook its head slightly and glanced at Xiao Yi, its eyes full of reluctance.

These two demon beasts, although somewhat uneasy under the influence of the Heaven and Earth Rules, were not in the least excited but rather just anxious.

This anxiety mostly stemmed from reluctance.

Xiao Yi patted Big Yellow’s head and smiled, "Let everything take its course, let’s go."

The two humans and two beasts once again stepped across the clouds and left.

...

Half a month later.

In the high skies of a certain region.

Two Cloud Beast Emperors descended from the sky, landing on a piece of flat land.

The surrounding scenery was fairly pleasant.

The two Cloud Beast Emperors began to frolic and play on a patch of grass nearby.

Xiao Yi, as always, rested his head on Yiyi’s lap, gazing up at the expansive sky.

"Tsk." Xiao Yi clicked his tongue, "The regions we’ve traveled through this half month were mostly ordinary, with nothing worth exploring, it seems we walked in vain."

Yiyi covered her mouth and chuckled, as she massaged Xiao Yi’s shoulders, she said, "Young master, you are increasingly considering yourself like those profligate young masters who only focus on amusement."

"Isn’t that quite nice?" Xiao Yi laughed, "Free and leisurely, traveling at will, carefree and untroubled."

"Let your young master also experience the life of those pleasure-seeking young lords."

"Of course, having the company of a beautiful lady is the most important thing."

Yiyi’s face turned slightly red, "Young master, you are becoming more and more improper."

"Improper is also quite good." Xiao Yi laughed, though there remained an inexplicable tension between his brows.

The two, jesting and playing.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, his sharp gaze suddenly fixed on the distance.

Swish...

Xiao Yi’s figure vanished from sight in an instant.

Clang...

In the distance, the clear sound of sword clashing echoed.

Xiao Yi appeared before Big Yellow.

The Purple Lightning in his hand blocked a shining, razor-sharp sword.

At the other end of the sword, an aged hand gripped it tightly.

It was an old man, his appearance unremarkable, but his eyes incredibly sharp.

"Who might you be?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, asked coldly.

Earlier, had he not reacted swiftly, this strike would have landed on Big Yellow’s head.

"Striking to kill my seated demon beast on your first move?"

"Seated demon beast?" The old man sneered, "Tsk tsk, the distinguished master of the Eight Palaces, sworn to slay demon beasts, yet now you protect one?"

"No, and even take it under your employ?"

"Who exactly are you?" Xiao Yi’s expression had turned icy cold.

The old man before him was a Sixth Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm; a powerhouse with sixty thousand paths.

Moreover, this individual was evidently a Sword Cultivator.

Yet Xiao Yi did not recognize him.

But this individual effortlessly revealed his identity.

The old man sneered and said, "You are not qualified to ask that now, ready your sword."

The old man’s sword moved once again.

The shiny sharp sword suddenly surged with white light.

"Hmm? Such a swift sword." Xiao Yi’s pupils contracted in surprise, one hand raised the sword to block, the other struck back, sending Big Yellow flying heavily back.

Clang... crackle crackle...

Xiao Yi’s sword emerged, Purple Lightning crackled incessantly, its power astonishing.

The old man retracted his sword to block, the sword in his hand devoid of any flamboyance, yet every move was fierce, without any excess.

Clang... clang... clang... clang...

The air echoed continuously with the clashing of metal.

Two swords, continuously crossing.

In mere seconds, the two exchanged nearly a thousand strikes.

"You indeed have some skills, Sword Dao Demon Xiao Yi." The old man suddenly broke off and retreated.

"And so do you." Xiao Yi squinted, "Such a swift sword, along with your cultivation, there is only one in the Central Region."

"The first hidden Quick Sword, Luo Feng."

"Such keen eyes." The old man sneered.

Swish... swish... swish...

At the same time, several figures appeared suddenly behind the old man.

All were clad in blue and white garments.

"People from Lingyan Pavilion?" Xiao Yi frowned.

...
