Chapter 2310 - 2306: Purple Winged Army
Chapter 2310: Chapter 2306: Purple Winged Army
Swish... Swish... Swish... Swish...
Xia Yiming made a swift movement, descending from the sky to mid-air.
As his figure emerged, his fingertips moved, and countless Sword Qi poured down.
The Sword Qi was cold and sharp.
A single Sword Qi was enough to instantly kill a large group of demon beasts.
In an instant, countless demon beasts of the vast Beast Tide were nearly all dead or injured.
In the sky, Xiao Yi glanced a few times, his face slightly surprised, "Such strong Sword Dao mastery and control."
The demon beasts here weren’t particularly powerful, including some Saint King level ones; the strongest were no more than Saint Emperor Realm demon beasts.
It was not surprising that Xia Yiming could instantly kill this large group of demon beasts.
The difficult part was that in that instant, the Sword Qi poured down and precisely killed all the demon beasts present without harming any martial artist present, not even the slightest residual Sword Qi.
"Twenty-eight thousand Cultivation, strength above thirty thousand," Xiao Yi nodded.
He had never fought with Xia Yiming.
When Xia Yiming’s Cultivation matched the Ice Barbarian’s.
Intuition told Xiao Yi that if Xia Yiming had fought in the Ice Emperor Palace Martial Arts Arena that day, he would have been a much harder opponent than the Ice Barbarian.
Swish... Below, Xia Yiming’s figure flashed and returned to the sky.
"Thank you, sirs," the martial artists below reacted and quickly thanked.
The martial artists below were densely packed, numbering over a hundred thousand.
The one thanking was likely the leading figure, probably the City Lord.
However, besides gratitude, the thanking tone surprisingly carried a bit of coldness.
The martial artists below, seeing the instant end to the Beast Tide, all breathed a sigh of relief, showing some joy. After all, a large-scale Beast Tide would cause many martial artists to fall.
But aside from joy, these martial artists also bore a stiffness and coldness on their faces.
That coldness wasn’t hatred but rather an accustomed iron determination.
Undoubtedly, this group of martial artists were battle-hardened, each with a firm resolve.
"Impressive." In the sky, Xiao Yi nodded but then frowned.
"In an environment with such rampant demon beasts, there should have been a considerable number of powerful martial artists nurtured."
"Moreover, the martial artists here all bear a firm resolve."
"This western area should have the highest quality of martial artists, so why is it the region with the weakest overall martial strength?"
Xia Yiming pondered for a moment before replying, "Maybe the forces here lack the presence of ancient Inheritance."
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, looking at the horizon as he squinted.
"Ever since entering the western region, especially past its center, the closer I get to its end, the more uncomfortable I feel."
"Do you?" Xia Yiming looked at the horizon confusedly.
"Intuition." Xiao Yi frowned, "It seems this trip to the Demon Domain is going to be the most dangerous adventure since I came to the Central Region."
The oppressive feeling and martial artist danger were extremely intense.
"Who might the sirs be?" Below, a few leading martial artists cupped their hands respectfully and asked.
In the sky, Xiao Yi remained silent.
Xia Yiming also didn’t answer, his expression cool.
Swish... Swish...
The two figures flashed and flew away, controlling the air.
Several minutes later.
At their speed, they had already traveled a million miles.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned, halting his movement again.
Below, within dozens of miles, bodies lay strewn all over.
The pungent scent of blood was so strong that it wafted up to the sky, mixed with a sickening odor.
The air was filled with numerous traces of battle and rampant energy.
Xiao Yi sniffed, "What a strange smell; let’s go down and have a look."
Swish... Swish...
The two descended from the sky.
All around, bodies lay everywhere, including human martial artist bodies and numerous demon beast remains, both numbering over a hundred thousand.
Xia Yiming surveyed the surroundings, "Palace Master, there must have been a large-scale Beast Tide here earlier, right?"
"At most half an hour ago."
"The battle situation here is tragic, but not unusual. Why did you descend, Palace Master...?"
Xia Yiming appeared puzzled.
Xiao Yi did not reply, instead crouched down and inspected a martial artist’s body.
"Poison?" Xiao Yi withdrew his hand, frowning.
"It seems the battle was fierce, but the surrounding is filled with toxic atmosphere."
"Toxic atmosphere?" Xia Yiming’s face showed even more confusion, "Where?"
Xiao Yi shook his head, "The toxic atmosphere is almost imperceptible, not sparse but pervasive, yet hard to sense."
"If I weren’t an Alchemist, particularly sensitive to such toxic atmospheres, I might have missed it too."
Xia Yiming was surprised, "Palace Master’s meaning is that despite the fierce battle signs here, what truly killed tens of thousands of martial artists was not the demon beasts but poison?"
"I don’t know." Xiao Yi shook his head, stood up, and looked into the distance, squinting.
In the distance, a hundred meters away, a figure was similarly crouched, inspecting a corpse.
The figure wore purple clothes, the stature slightly tall.
It was a woman, judging by her appearance, likely in her early twenties.
The distant woman evidently noticed Xiao Yi’s gaze.
The woman stood up, a trace of surprise flickering in her brows, but it vanished quickly.
The woman stared at Xiao Yi as she walked over slowly.
The pace wasn’t fast, but her graceful posture looked comfortable.
Especially with her slightly tall stature and this harmonious demeanor, it was like a purple flower dancing and strolling.
A hundred meters wasn’t far.
The woman stood in front of Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi also observed the woman.
The woman had an oval face, phoenix eyes, and thin lips, her long hair reaching a few inches below her shoulders, not reaching her waist.
This woman, how to describe her, not truly any peerless beauty, she was very beautiful, but to describe this beauty as peerless felt somewhat inappropriate.
Her clear eyes and serene expression made one lose the desire to use ornamental words to depict her, perhaps, words like exquisite and clean were more apt.
"I inspected the demon beast remains around, and there’s no sign of poisonous-type demon beasts." The woman suddenly opened her mouth.
The voice was light, soft, with a crisp undertone despite the delicate feel.
"I’ve also checked the bodies of the human martial artists, and there’s no sign of Poison Dao Practitioners." The woman continued.
"Additionally, there’s no sign of any martial artist fleeing or escaping this place."
"So, it’s very odd."
While speaking, the woman slowly extended her hand, a delicate hand emerging from her purple sleeves, reaching towards Xiao Yi’s face.
Xiao Yi stared at the woman.
"Presumptuous." Beside him, Xia Yiming coldly rebuked, gathering a Sword Qi in his hand, ready to strike.
Snap...
Xiao Yi’s arm moved, grabbing Xia Yiming’s wrist, stopping his action.
The woman’s hand lightly touched Xiao Yi’s face.
"Hmm?" Xia Yiming frowned, suddenly realizing.
The woman before them had no martial aura whatsoever.
She wasn’t a martial artist, just a normal person without any Cultivation.
If his previous Sword Qi had leaked even a little, it would have killed the woman countless times over.
The woman withdrew her hand.
Xiao Yi gently smiled, "Could you recall the surrounding locked aura?"
The woman smiled and casually nodded.
Swish... Swish... Swish... Swish...
Around them, figures appeared out of thin air, each with a formidable aura.
The figures were all clad in purple, but compared to the woman’s elegant attire, their purple clothes were armor.
Xiao Yi gently smiled, "Dongfang Family’s Purple Winged Army, moreover, the elite among them."
