Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1600 -

Near the Fire Teeth Territory.

Inside a certain forest.

Xiao Yi stared at the black-robed martial artist in front of him.

"You guys leave first."

Xiao Yi said indifferently.

The academy elder beside him understood, but frowned, "Are you confident going alone?"

"You can’t help me." Xiao Yi stated bluntly.

Though harsh, it was a fact.

The black-robed martial artist before him was undoubtedly terrifyingly strong.

And this academy elder was merely a martial artist barely reaching the supreme level, controlling 9990 paths.

With such strength, he couldn’t assist Xiao Yi, and might even become a burden.

Xiao Yi’s figure remained unmoved, his eyes never shifting from the black-robed martial artist.

The academy elder gritted his teeth, but could only nod.

He was not a young man but a mature and steady academy elder, immune to rash impulsiveness.

"Purple Flame, be careful."

The academy elder said solemnly, stepping back slowly.

Huoo Linlang behind him was full of reluctance, her beautiful eyes fixated on Xiao Yi’s back.

"Leave first." Xiao Yi said indifferently, his tone even carrying a hint of coldness.

He kept feeling that something seemed strange around him.

Huoo Linlang’s body trembled.

The next second...

Hoo...

Wisps of black air suddenly surged from all directions.

The movement of the black air was extremely swift and ferocious.

The black air seemed akin to thick fog.

Within a few breaths, the vast Demon Beast Forest was shrouded in countless black fog.

"Not good." The academy elder exclaimed.

With his cultivation, he instantly felt short of breath, even his vision blurred.

"What a strange poisonous mist." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, moving his gaze away from the black-robed martial artist for the first time.

Boom...

Xiao Yi punched out, instantly dispersing a large area of surrounding poisonous mist.

Just now, besides the academy elder and Guu Feifan, the other academy’s heavenly talents fell into a trance instantly.

Even the academy elder and Guu Feifan showed traces of black air on their faces, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Hurry and leave." Xiao Yi shouted fiercely.

Dozens of Purple Flame Wandering Dragons surged out fiercely, then swept upward.

Nearby and high in the air, large areas of poisonous mist were scattered.

The academy elder couldn’t care about anything else, in shock he grabbed Huoo Linlang and soared into the air.

Guu Feifan and a group of academy’s heavenly talents hurriedly soared into the air, not daring to linger any longer.

Xiao Yi’s actions were extremely fast, from punching to disperse the surrounding poisonous mist to controlling the Purple Flame Wandering Dragons to scatter the layers of poisonous mist in the sky, all in an instant.

The departure of the Heavenly Hidden Academy’s people was also a matter of moments.

As everyone left, Xiao Yi abruptly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the people of the academy stayed here, they couldn’t help him, and might even hold him back.

Most importantly, in this battle, Xiao Yi had almost no chance of winning.

When did this ’Poison Robe’ appear, Xiao Yi hadn’t noticed at all.

But the moment he appeared, Xiao Yi’s heart shivered.

That extremely strong sense of oppression was not something an ordinary martial artist could give.

Xiao Yi had only seen such oppression on a handful of people.

One of them was the Sword Domain Lin Family Master, Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was a supreme expert controlling 9998 paths; just one path short of reaching the realm of the ancient supreme experts, like Senior Xinghuan of the past.

And this ’Poison Robe’ before him gave Xiao Yi a feeling similar to Lin Xiao, perhaps even more so.

And then there was the sudden appearance of the black air and the poisonous mist that instantly spread throughout the Demon Beast Forest.

Such a large-scale poisonous mist, with such astonishing potency, yet Xiao Yi had not discovered when these poisonous mists appeared.

He just felt that something seemed strange around him.

When he truly viewed them with his eyes, the poisonous mists had already permeated the forest, coming in layers.

This kind of method was truly terrifying.

"You breathed a sigh of relief." Poison Robe suddenly opened his mouth first.

Xiao Yi remained silent, cold eyes once again fixed on Poison Robe.

"Humph." Poison Robe didn’t coldly snort, instead, a sinister smile squeezed from his throat.

"Do you know that if I hadn’t let them go, they wouldn’t have been able to leave?"

Xiao Yi’s gaze was indifferent, slowly opening his mouth, his tone indifferent.

"I just see you as an opponent."

"Unrelated people would affect the battle."

"Humph, true enough." Poison Robe’s voice was very low, "They’re too weak, boring."

"You’re somewhat interesting, but it’s a pity you’re an enemy, and you’ve repeatedly challenged my limits."

The indifference in Xiao Yi’s eyes suddenly turned to coldness.

"You seem somewhat interesting too, but it’s a pity you’re an Evil Cultivator, destined to be a corpse under my flames."

In the cold words, the killing intent was faintly present.

Only true experts would realize that this kind of killing intent was the most terrifying.

This killing intent doesn’t easily show.

Once revealed, it means the issuer’s heart has long been suppressed by a frightening killing intent, and once it erupts, it floods forth, with no end until death.

"Do you have a grudge against our Evil Lord Mansion?" Poison Robe seemed in no rush to strike, instead asking coldly.

"Even if you are a Demon Hunter, there’s no need to massacre various Evil Cultivation Branches so crazily."

"The only reason would be a grudge."

"Since you know, why ask more?" Xiao Yi’s tone remained consistently cold.

"Haven’t you heard of me?" Poison Robe abruptly asked.

"I’ve heard of you." Xiao Yi replied.

Solely looking at the former Martial Soul Illusion or the black robe, Xiao Yi naturally didn’t know this was the famous ’Poison Robe’ of the Evil Lord Mansion.

But the words ’Poison Robe’ he knew.

Within the Eight Palaces, there’s a wanted order.

On the wanted list, are a few individuals who have been pinned to the top for years without the order being removed.

"Evil Lord Mansion’s protector, nicknamed Poison Robe, surname Wen, first name Yi."

Indeed, Poison Robe’s real name, is Wen Yi.

But few know, Xiao Yi specifically checked, so naturally, he knows.

Of course, knowing doesn’t matter as everyone prefers to call him Poison Robe.

Because nothing could be more apt.

Always in a black robe, killing with overwhelming poison, ravaging the Central Region, hence Poison Robe.

"Heh." Poison Robe suddenly chuckled, his head usually slightly bowed, suddenly lifted.

His head, usually slightly bowed, along with a wide black robe, made it difficult to see his appearance.

Now, he raised his head. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xiao Yi could see clearly.

Poison Robe’s appearance was somewhat shady, eyes murky, a middle-aged look of about fifty to sixty years.

In the center of his forehead, a scar, not very long, just a few fingers, about two inches, as wide as a grain of rice.

This shady face would be unforgettable with just one look.

"Young fellow, don’t know why, but I find you unusually fascinating."

"Though I ultimately want to kill you."

"But before that, old man wants to see your face beneath the mask."

"Will you take it off yourself?"

Poison Robe said lightly, with a sinister smile on his shady face.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned, staring intently at his own hand.

His hand was moving.

Moving uncontrollably.

His arm lifted slowly; his palm was getting closer to his eye.

The palm eventually rested on the mask.

...

First update.

Somewhat unexpectedly, writing was slow.

Originally intended to finish by 10 o’clock, now it seems it might be past 11 o’clock before it’s done.
