Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1522: A Perilous Battle

Zhuo Wanzong looked at Xiao Yi coldly.

The surrounding sword cultivators also looked on coldly, but among them were mixed glances of jealousy, resentment, and more.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

"Little thief, do you dare or not?" Zhuo Wanzong said coldly.

"We sword cultivators of the world have no interest in wasting time with you."

"If you don’t nod within ten breaths, don’t blame us."

Xiao Yi said nothing.

But within these ten breaths, he was evidently the target of everyone’s focus.

He remained silent, and none around him spoke either.

The entire Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest suddenly became quiet and soundless.

Yet, this silence carried an unusually heavy burden.

So heavy that under this silence, the breathing of all sword cultivators present was easily heard.

In those breaths was passion, was readiness to strike.

Evidently, all sword cultivators would not hesitate to make a move.

The soaring sword intent had already stirred the winds and clouds.

In an instant, ten breaths passed.

"Xiao Yi the little thief, the ten breaths are over." Zhuo Wanzong sneered.

Xiao Yi finally opened his mouth, "Zhuo Wanzong, it seems I underestimated you before."

"Search, or perception, impossible."

"If you are convinced that the Sword Emperor Origin is truly on me, feel free to make a move."

Xiao Yi sneered and glanced at the surrounding sword cultivators.

The sword cultivators around him suddenly hesitated.

After all, none could be sure the Sword Emperor Origin was indeed on Xiao Yi.

If it’s merely suspicion, to then fight against Xiao Yi, or even the two Peak Sword Cultivators behind him, is undoubtedly an unwise choice.

Zhuo Wanzong, seeing this, frowned tightly.

He had already said all he could.

He had also successfully made Xiao Yi the target of everyone.

But if the sword cultivators of the world did not act, he had no solutions.

At this moment, Xiao Yi sneered, "I will also give you ten breaths, either make your move or step aside."

"But let me remind you."

"Don’t let yourself be used, otherwise, you’ll die meaninglessly."

Xiao Yi’s words were light, yet enough to make everyone feel his icy killing intent.

Beside him, Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon nodded in satisfaction.

Although they did not know if the ’truth’ was as Zhuo Wanzong claimed.

But Xiao Yi’s actions at this moment were enough to make them immensely satisfied.

A few words, without half an explanation, only lightly uncompromising, already able to deter all sword cultivators, making all hesitate.

This was the difference between Xiao Yi and Zhuo Wanzong.

No matter how Zhuo Wanzong provokes, no matter how confident he is, it is not equal to Xiao Yi’s few words.

"Ten breaths have passed." Xiao Yi smiled indifferently.

"Two seniors, let’s go."

"Wait." At this moment, the Qi Sect Master shouted coldly.

"What?" Xiao Yi was not the least afraid.

"If the Qi Sect Master wants to fight, I will accompany."

"Ha." The Qi Sect Master stood with hands behind, smiling inexplicably.

"A good Xiao Yi, indeed bold."

"No wonder your name, Xiao Yi the little thief, spreads throughout the Central Region in a short time, with a notorious reputation, even overshadowing many renowned strong figures."

"Indeed an extraordinary monster."

Xiao Yi heard and narrowed his eyes.

The Qi Sect Master’s words were praise.

But Xiao Yi’s intuition told him that at this moment, the Qi Sect Master seemed very confident.

Sure enough.

The Qi Sect Master sneered, "Xiao Yi, you are truly impressive."

"With just a few words, able to deter all sword cultivators present, indeed an astonishing mind."

"It’s a pity, you can fool others, but not the experts of the Sword Domain."

The Qi Sect Master said, his gaze moved from Xiao Yi to the Old Artifact Sect Leader and Lin Xiao.

"Isn’t it, Lord Lin, and the Old Artifact Sect Leader?"

The Qi Sect Master’s words were a bit inexplicable.

But Lin Xiao and the Old Artifact Sect Leader nodded solemnly.

Xiao Yi frowned, puzzled.

The Qi Sect Master sneered, "Xiao Yi, have you forgotten, the Lin Family Members each carry the Sword Emperor Bloodline, and are the Guardians of the Sword Emperor Stele."

"And have you forgotten, our two sects have existed within the Sword Domain for countless years."

"We cultivate Sword Power, inherently sensitive to Sword Power."

"At the same time, also extremely sensitive to the Sword Emperor Stele."

"Hm?" Xiao Yi’s face changed suddenly as he realized.

He finally understood where the Qi Sect Master’s confidence came from.

The Qi Sect Master revealed the answer, "After the Sword Emperor Stele closed, initially neither I, the Old Artifact Sect Leader, nor Lord Lin felt much."

"But now, it’s clearly feeling the Sword Emperor Stele’s power gradually weakening."

"The reason can only be one."

"That is, the Sword Emperor Origin has been taken."

These three people, being the three strong figures of the Sword Domain, naturally knowing the secrets within the Sword Domain, also aware of the Sword Emperor Origin.

The Qi Sect Master continued, "Zifeng and Zhuo Wanzong did not enter the Third Layer, so it’s impossible for them to gain the Sword Emperor Origin."

"Only you entered the Third Layer."

"Now the Sword Emperor Stele’s power gradually weakening, proving the Sword Emperor Origin is indeed on you."

The Qi Sect Master finished speaking, no longer saying anything.

However, all sword cultivators present were now no longer hesitant.

Xiao Yi’s heart thumped.

Indeed, he forgot these three strong figures of the Sword Domain, their bodies flooded with Sword Power, must be extremely sensitive to the Sword Emperor Stele.

Initially, when the Sword Emperor Stele just closed, there wouldn’t be such an obvious feeling.

If not for Zhuo Wanzong’s petty hindrance here, he would have left the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest long ago.

Now, stalled by Zhuo Wanzong for quite some time, only allowed the Qi Sect Master and others to sense the changes in the Sword Emperor Stele.

"Kid, did you really take the Sword Emperor Origin?" At this time, Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon, who had been silent, asked solemnly.

In their tone, there was not a trace of tension, only anticipation and delight.

Xiao Yi nodded.

He knew now, there was no need to hide any more.

What the Qi Sect Master’s level of strong figure determined, was equivalent to fact, no amount of words and explanation would work.

Of course, about the Sword Emperor Origin, Xiao Yi also initially planned to inform Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon after leaving the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest.

Now that it no longer needs to be hidden, as Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon asked, he also directly admitted.

Seeing Xiao Yi nod, the joy on Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon’s faces soared to the extreme.

"Hahaha, good, very good." Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon, for the first time, showed such intense joy.

"Not only defeating that old monster Lin Ye, but also got the Sword Emperor Origin, impressive, truly impressive."

"Always said, you kid always brings surprise, never disappoints."

"Good, very good."

Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon repeatedly said ’very good.’

"Still laughing?" The Qi Sect Master’s face darkened, then sneered.

"You really think there’s no one in the Sword Domain, really think the sword cultivators of the world regard it as nothing?"

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Almost instantly, countless strong auras surged toward Xiao Yi and the two.

Feeling these astounding auras, Xiao Yi’s expression changed.

"Damn, all broke through." Xiao Yi’s face looked a bit unpleasant.

Indeed, all sword cultivators present had almost all broken through.

Cultivation, compared to before the event started, had reached a higher level.

This battle will surely be more intense and perilous than the siege before the event started.
