Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Not good..."

Jiang Shanhe's expression suddenly changed.

He had gone to great lengths to capture Fang Qingzhu and the others to keep Xiao Yi in check and to make him hesitate to act.

Find adventures at empire

As he had expected.

Xiao Yi, concerned about the safety of Fang Qingzhu and the others, had been holding back during their previous encounter, greatly affecting his ability to fight.

But now...

Fang Qingzhu and the others had been rescued by Yue Cang, and Xiao Yi, free from his bonds, was like a tiger breaking free from its cage.

A pair of cold eyes fell upon them.

"Everyone be careful!" Jiang Shanhe said in a deep voice.

Ping Sifang sneered, "Jiang Shanhe, it seems he has scared you! No matter how strong he is, could he really be a match for the five of us joining hands? Let's make it quick and capture him first..."

Bai Xing and Nie Hechuan felt the same way.

They were each the top contender of the Teng Long List from their respective countries, the number one among the younger generation.

Now joining forces against Xiao Yi was already shameful enough. If the five of them together could not bring Xiao Yi to his death, they would lose all face.

This was a battle for honor.

And a life-and-death battle.

"Eighteen Arhats..."

Xu Feiying leaped into the air and retreated backward, landing dozens of meters away. The bowstring of the huge horn bow in his hands was taut, and with each release, an arrow would shoot out with the sound of thunder.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Amidst the whooshing sounds of the air being pierced, a total of eighteen arrows were fired in rapid succession.

Jiang Shanhe growled, "Xu Feiying will disrupt from a distance, while the four of us will engage him in close combat. I refuse to believe that Xiao Yi can withstand the siege of us five talents!"

"Good!"

"Capture him, cripple his cultivation, break his limbs..."

"His woman—I, Ping Sifang, will take her!"

A series of growls were like sudden thunder on a flat ground.

The five experts were from the five great kingdoms.

Half of the top contenders of the Teng Long List from the ten nations of Nanhuang were present, and their target was Xiao Yi, who just a year ago was merely in the Physical Body Realm.

Xiao Yi, now free from the shackles of Fang Qingzhu and the others, no longer needed to hold back, and the killing intent suppressed in his heart was also thoroughly unleashed. Over the past days, the Royal Martial Arts Academy and people like Jiang Shanhe had been relentless in their tactics, repeatedly trying to put him to death and even capturing Fang Qingzhu and the others as a threat.

Their actions had intensified Xiao Yi's desire to kill to the extreme.

"Soul Snatching and Life Taking!"

Xiao Yi pointed his sword, emitting a dazzling cold light as bright as day.

"Merely a petty trick!"

Ping Sifang sneered, and with a flick of his finger, a silver stream of Qi erupted from his index finger.

The beam of light was incredibly condensed, like a towering giant finger.

One Finger Pierces the Heavens.

Boom!

The giant finger collided with the sword light, each eroding the other's energy.

Gales raged wildly.

A cold gleam erupted from Xiao Yi's eyes as he tightly gripped the Fire Qilin Sword to face the opposition. His left hand, however, punched out, golden Qi clinging to the surface of his fist, its radiant brilliance blinding, as if a great sun was attached to his fist: "Vajra Subdues Demons!"

Thud!

The power of this punch was to the extreme.

As soon as he punched.

The wild power on the fist hammered out a wall of air, pushing forward with a loud bang and landing heavily on Ping Sifang's body.

Pff...

Ping Sifang's body trembled, his legs involuntarily lifting off the ground, flying backward like a kite with its string cut.

Bang!

Xiao Yi took a violent step forward, instantly catching up to Ping Sifang, and reached out with his left hand.

"Not good!"

"Quick, save him..."

Everything happened so suddenly, and Xiao Yi's speed was astonishingly fast.

Just as Jiang Shanhe and the others were about to step in and rescue Ping Sifang, Xiao Yi's hand, which resembled an eagle's claw, already snapped onto Ping Sifang's ankle with a smack, and with a fierce swing, Ping Sifang was thrown like a human weapon, smashing hard into Jiang Shanhe and the others behind him.

Jiang Shanhe and the others instinctively raised their weapons.

"No..."

Ping Sifang, seeing the cold blades coming straight at him, eyes wide with terror, let out a roar of despair.

Jiang Shanhe and the others had no choice but to forcefully retract their weapons.

But this also meant that they lost their initial advantage.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Xiao Yi used Ping Sifang as a weapon, consecutively knocking back Jiang Shanhe, Nie Hechuan, and Bai Xing.

The three of them, with frustration on their faces, could only passively endure it, not even daring to defend with their full might.

Otherwise, if they accidentally killed Ping Sifang,

the troubles would be endless!

Jiang Shanhe bellowed, "Xu Feiying, why aren't you taking action?"

Xu Feiying, a few dozen meters away, holding a horn bow, looked helpless upon hearing Jiang Shanhe's words: "Take action my ass..."

Every time he bent his bow and readied an arrow, preparing to take a shot,

Xiao Yi would use Ping Sifang as a shield in front of himself. If Xu Feiying took the shot, he didn't know whether he could hit Xiao Yi, but Ping Sifang's body would definitely gain a few more holes.

He was in a dilemma over hurting the hostage.

Fearful and hesitant.

At this moment, Jiang Shanhe felt extremely stifled. Just moments before, holding Fang Qingzhu and Niu Dali among others at his mercy, he had been so brazenly threatening Xiao Yi. But now, how the tables had turned—it was they who were handicapped, facing Xiao Yi who treated Ping Sifang like a weapon, they simply couldn't find an opening to strike!

"Xiao Yi, if you have the guts, release Ping Sifang and fight us fair and square!" Nie Hechuan said through clenched teeth.

Xiao Yi glanced at him, "One-on-one?"

"I..."

Nie Hechuan's face stiffened.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The five of them, even when combined, were still being pressured to this state by Xiao Yi.

If it were one-on-one...

He truly had no confidence.

"Xiao Yi, release me, and I swear no longer to be your enemy..." Ping Sifang, his head covered in blood, like a dead dog dragged behind Xiao Yi, shouted.

Xiao Yi glanced back at him.

The man was indeed in a sorry and pitiable state.

Most of the bones in his body were broken.

Most of his head was smashed out of shape, swollen and bruised beyond recognition.

What he regretted most at this moment was getting involved in this mess.

Xiao Yi looked at Ping Sifang, and with a sneer said, "Once I begin, it's a fight to the death. There's no room for surrender."

"You, you want to kill me? I am..." Before Ping Sifang could finish,

Xiao Yi had already swung violently, hurling him out like a thrown spear.

Whoosh!

Ping Sifang's body flew like a sandbag, crashing towards Jiang Shanhe and the others.

The three continuously retreated.

But just as Ping Sifang appeared before them, suddenly, a crimson sword light tore through Ping Sifang's body. With a splat, it struck Bai Xing square in the body. The sword light came too suddenly, and with Bai Xing's line of sight blocked by Ping Sifang, he had no time to dodge.

When the sword light dissipated,

Ping Sifang was bisected at the waist by Xiao Yi's sword.

A blood trail ran through the center of Bai Xing's forehead, spurting blood from the top of his head like a fountain.

One sword to slay a Tianjiao!

With one sword, Xiao Yi had killed both Ping Sifang and Bai Xing, two geniuses of the Tenth Layer of the Golden Core Realm!

Whoosh!

The crimson sword light swept across the sky, and Xiao Yi looked towards Jiang Shanhe and the others: "Your turn now..."
